Effects OF Dict.

The PAUL MALL GAZETTE says:
monsieur Cabasson has presented to
the French Academy curious essay on
the effects of diet on the moral and intel
lectual faculties Of man. Its influence
is, in his opinion, so great that it would
scarcely be an exaggeration to parady a
well-knOwn proverb and say, obs mois
ce que tn manages, ct je lie tie dirai ce que
tn es." In passage the 'Miserables, .
Victor Hugo likens French vivacity to
the light French wines, and English pom
derosity to pOtarebeer, and many
Frenchmen are convinced that the distin-
gushing traits of the two nations may in
great measure be ascribed to the use of
these beverages. But NJ. Cabasson has
dived far more deeply into the subject,
and experimental on his own person with
various articles of food-coffee taken on
an empty stomach seems to have pro-
duced most startling effects. He in
forms us that Immediately after imbibing
it, his ideas acquired unusual profundity,
his style in writing was cold but correct,
while, on the other hand, his temper UNI
derwent perniciOus change; he became
morose, egotistical and generally disa-
greeable. A moderate breakfast restored
him to his normal state, and the disap-
pearance of intellectual profundity was
compensated for by an influx. of genial
and generous ideas.
The theory is as yet too undeveloped to
admit of the prescription Of particular
diet for every vice. but, as a general rule,
NJ. Cabasson assures us that a diet of
milk and vegetables is conducive to NOR
al and intellectual superiority, and quotes
Lamartine, who in one of his prefaces,
stated, with that complacency with
which only Frenchman can talk Of him
self, that he attributes TO diet ''the purity
of feeling, the felicity of expression, and
the exquisite serenity" which always
characterized him. All Lamartine's
friends know that he retained this serenity
of disposition till his death; if he really
owed it to vegetable diet, it is a pity that
the potato does not seem to have the same
desirable effect ON the agricultural classes
in Ireland"

Virginia Springs.

THE MONTGOMERY WHITE SULPHUR
SPRINGS will be open the LIST of June next
Before the war this was the most popular
watering place in Virginia. Its situation,
in Southwestern Virginia, on the Eastern
slope of the Alleghanies, gives it beautiful
scenery, healthful climate and pure bra
cling air. Messrs. Wilson & Lorentz, two
enterprising Virginians, have leased it for a
term of five years, have thoroughly repair
ed, newly furnished, and will open it on a
scale surprising its former grandeur. Wis
itors to this place travel the entire distance
by Rail. Getting of at Big Tunnel Station,
on the Va. and Tenn r. r., they are con-
vcyed into the Reception House, in ten min
utes on the Springs Branch r. r. New
Baths, Billiard and Bowling Saloons, have
been erected fol- the comfort and amuse-
ment of visitors. Post Office, Telegraph
Express, and Ticket offices are on the prem
ises. Daily lines of stages will run to the
Greenbrier White, on the route through the
widest scenery in Virginia. Travellers be-
tween points North and South, will find
this most delightful resting place. The
fare has been reduced to the moderate price
of three dollars per day, $40 per week, and
so per month, giving the privilege of spe-
cial rates to larger parties for longer time.

PEN Portraits.

The Memphis Appeal gives the history
of the newly appointed officers of Lafay-
cite county, as follows:
Dewitt Stearnes, late Judge Advocate of
the eourt-martial convened to try Crump,
who was afterwards tried by civil authority
and acquitted, and later still a candidate for
Prosecuting Attorney of the Municipal
Court of this city, is appointed Judge of the
Probate Court; j. nj. Mayne, late Major of
the Arkansas Militia, and boss devil of the
outrages committed in Crittenden eounty,is
named as Sheriff; S. V. w. Whiting, late a
providing spy in the employ of Clay tor, win
act as Assessor; Benjamin Franklin Tur-
ner, the most unprincipled rascal of this most
rascally gang, the murderer who boosted on
the streets of this city that he had been the
prime mover in the hanging of twenty-five
men in Arkansas, whose only crime was that
they opposed Clayton and his emissaries. is
the County Registrar; n. c. Wilson, the
newly appointed Clerk of the Circuit Court,
end w. III. Foard, Clerk of the Probate
Court, are the only names among the batch
of whom we cannot recall "reminiscences Of
disgraceful notoriety. but that the trite adj
age, "birds of feather flock together will
apply TO them there is not the slightest doubt.

Among the astounding discoveries of
science, is that of the immense periods
that have passed in the gradual formation
of the earth. So vast were the cycles OF
the time preceding even the appearance
of man on the surface of our globe, that
our own period seems as yesterday when
compared with the epOchs that have gone
before it. Had we only the evidence of
the deposits of rocks heaped on each 9th
er in regular strata by the slow accumula-
ton of materials, they alone would con-
vince us of the long and slow maturing
of Gods work on earth; but when we
add to these the successive population of
whose life the world has been the theatre
and whose remains are hidden IN the
rocks into which the mud, or sand, or
soil of whatever kind ON which they have
lived, has hardened in the course of time
or the enormous chains of mountains
whose upheaval divided these periods Of
quiet accumulation by great convulsions-
or the changes of different nature In the
confgurations of our globe, as the sinking
of lands beneath the ocean, or the gradu-
al rising of continents and islands above
or the slow growth of the coral reefs,
those wonderful sea walks, raised by the
little ocean architects, whose own bodies
furnish both the building stones and the
cement that binds them together, and
who worked so busily during the long
centuries that there are extensive coun-
tries, mountain chains, islands and long
lines of coasts, consisting solely of their
remains-or the countless forests that
have grown up, fourished and decayed,
to fill the storehouse of coal that feeds
the fires of the human race-if we con-
slider all these records of the past, the In
telIect fails to grasp the chronology ofwhich
our experience furnishes no Data, and
time that lies behind US seems as much
an eternity to our conception as the future
that stretches indefinitely before us.
