BREAD SrUFFs New York Fioan-
cial Chronicle says : Speculation is based to
a great extent, upon the supposed wants of
the continent, following the peace which it
is thought will be established. Whether
this supposed want if exaggerated or not, it
is not necessary for us to inquire. It will
suffice to say that the period Immediately
following war is usually one Of mercantile
depression, not favorable to speculation.
The demand from the continent whatever its
extent may be, will not, for the present at
least, be a:speculative one, but to meet abso-
lutte needs and such demand suggests
the steady but slow process of realizing
rather than the activity upon which .specu,
laton thrives
In view of these facts we think it be-
hooves dealers in bread stuffs to use great
caution.

A Significant Political Sign

Charles Francis Adams, late Minister to
Great Britain, under President Lincoln,
wrote an admirable letter to the Eighth of
January Jackson Festival at Pittsburg.
We published it yesterday in the Enquirer,
and it SO significant sign of the times as to
be worthy of special mention. 1t is some.
what remarkable when an Adams-the son
Of the statesman whom General Jackson de-
feated for President, after bitter struggle
should now unite with others in honoring
the memory Of his fathers competitor
Still more striking are the sentiments which
he promulgates. He says /:
"The country has passed through a VIC
lent convulsion, and is now slowly. but
steadily, recovering itself. The main OBJ
ject should be restore harmony and inspire
mutual confidence among all the Earring
members. Our Government draws Its life
from the ready consent of the governed.
"Whcn the distinguished hero, whose
name your association bears, uttered those
memorable words: The Union shall be
preserved ! he undoubtedly rested his faith
upon the spontaneous cooperation of the
great mass Of the nation, responding to his
call in the regular and legitimate channels
prescribed by the Organic Law. He never
contemplate the u e of bayopets in control
ling the forms of collecting the general suf.
frage.
"Our safety as nation lies in going
back to the first principles, and forgetting
that force has ever been resortcd to as pain
full necessity to preserve them. What was
bitter medicine should not be turned into
daily food"
This will never do for gentleman whom
the Republicans have been talking Of as
candidate for President in 1872 Enquirer.

THE FRESHMAN AND THE DRAKE An
Irishman employed on farm was told by
the farmer that one of his duties would
be to feed the chickens. This he did
daily but he observed with much con-
Germ, that when he gave them their corn
meal pudding, an old drake that was
among the flock shoveled it in with his
broad bill much faster than the chickens
could do. At least an idea struck him.
One evening, as usual, while Pat was
distributing pudding to his fowls, he
commenced soliloquizing in the following
manner: "Arrah, here ye are Sagain, ,ye
ould .poonbill quadruped ye lay under
the barn all day, an when | say chlcky
chicky,be st. Patrick, ye are the first one
here; and be jabers, ye pick up thra
mouthfuls all in one now, be Jabers, an
I'll fix We for that, an so will Sure
enough, Pat tolpd the old drake close up
to him, made grab, and nabbcd him
"An.it's welcome ye are, blast yer ugly
pitcher, when I'm done wild ye. to pick
up more than yer share" With that
pulled out his knife and trimmed the
brakes bill off sharp and slim, like
chickens, and then exultingly threw hin
down, saying: "Now, be jabbers, ye cal
pick up the food 'longside the eob-tal
rooster"

THE LEGEND OF GAMBRINUs. - The
popular legend of Gamhrinus, as related
by John Fiske, in the atlantic Monthzy,
is as follows Gambrinus was fiddler,
who, being Tilted by his sweetheart, went
out in the woods to hang himself AS he
was sitting on the bough, with the cord
about his neck, preparatory to taking the
fatal plunge, suddenly tall man in a
green coat appeared before him, and
offered his services. He might become
as wealthy as he liked, and make his
sweetheart burst with vexation at her own
folly, but in thirty years he must give up
his soul to Beelzebub. The bargain was
struck, for Gambrinus thought thirty
years long time to enjoy ones self in,
and perhaps the devil might get him in
any event; as we'll be hung for sheep
as for lamb. Aided by Satan, he in
vented Ginning bells ard lager beer, for
both of which achievements be is held in
grateful remembrance by Teutons. Nc
sooner had the holy Roman Emperor
quaffed gallon or two OF the new bever-
age than he made Gambrinus Duke OF
Brabant and Court of Flanders, and then
it was the fidd!er's turn to laugh at the
discontinue of his old sweetheart. Gam
bcinus kept clear of women, says the
legend, and so lived in peace Fol-
thirty years he sat beneath his belfry
wlththe chimes, lneditatjve.y drinking
beer with his mobiles and burghers around
him. Then Beelzebud sent J0cko, one al
his imps, with orders to bring back Gam:
brinus before midnight. But Jocko was
like Swivellers Marchioness, ignorant oil
the taste of beer, never having drunk OF
it even in sip,and the Flemish schoppen
were too much for him. He fell into a
drunken sleep, and did not wake up till
noon next day, at which he was so morti
fed that he had not the face to get back
to hell at all. So Gambrinus lived Oh
TRANQUILITY for centuary or two and drank
SO much beer that he turned into beer
barrel.

How TO SEE UNDER WATER. "A cor
respondent OF the Scientific american
says: The Indians of North America do
this by cutting q hole through the ice, and
then covering or hanging a blanket in
such manner as to darken or exclude
the direct rays of the sun, when they are
enabled to see into the water,and discover
fish at any reasonable depth. Let any
one who is anxious to prove this, place
himself under the blanket, and he will
be astonished when he beholds with what
brilliancy everything in the fluid world
is lighted up. once had occasion to ex-
anime tie bottom of mill pond, for
which constructed float out of an inch
plank, sufficient to buoy me up through
the center OF this float I cut hole, and
placed blanket over it, when I was
enabled to clearly discover object on the
bottom, and several lost tools were dis
covered and picked up. [ am satisfied
that, where water is sufficiently clear, this
latter plan could be successfully used for
searching for lost bodies and articles. |
would now suggest that this experiment
be tried on the sea !; for I am satisfied
that, with craft like the Great Eastern,
where al observatory could be placed at
the bottom, with sufficient darkness, by
the aid of glasses we could gaze down
into the depths of the sea, the same as we
can survey the starry heavens at mid
night.

From the New Orleans Flcayune'
An extraordinary encounter took place
Thursday morning in the Fourth District.
Tho scene of battle was the marble top Of

size and mosquito The winged com
blatant seemed to be stupid from too
hearty q breakfast on human blood. The
ant approached and retired several times
in quick and ca ger, though very cautious,
dashes. But the temptation was too
great he rushed in, and was soon en-
tangled among the limbs of the insect
which now began fearful struggle, The
ant first clung to a leg, and by close ob
servation through a large magnitier he
was seen fiercely biting at the upper, or
thigh Joint. The mosquito tried to fly
but fell after rising a few inches. The
ant had then disabled one Eleg and had
changed to another. The mosquito flew
UP again, but fell instantly, as beforehand
the fierce and relentless ant attacked one
of she wings. and in less than forty Sec
onds it was paralyzed and useless. The
work was done, and the unWinged ant
had conquered. There was tempting
skinful IF ruby blood, but he did not stop
to enioy it. He releasedshis hold, backed
Of,psnsed for breath and then went three
or four times around his ponderous victim.
Suddenly, being satisfied that his con
quered antagonist could not move, he
darted away, c.ambered down the side
of the bureau, met several Of his brethren,
saluted each Of them with his antenn@ or
forelegs, and rushed on. Having TINS a
dozen or more, they turned back sur,
rounded the dying or dead mosquito ana

slowly but triumphantly away. Inc
WEIGHT of the mosquito must have been
twenty times that of his fierce and eager
little assailant, but with true strategic IN,
gtinct he did his work by detail, leg at
a time, instead of making an ind il;

who was di ggng out woodchuck, the

annoyed by persons talking and laughing.
He paused, looked at the disturbers, and
said: II am always afraid to reprove
those who misbehave in church. In the
early part of my ministry I made great
mistake. As | was preaching, a young
man who sat before me was constantly
laughing, talking, and almost continually
making uncouth grimaces. J paused and
administered severe rebuke. After the
close Of the serviceone of the official mem
bers came and said to me: Brother, YOU
made great mistake. That young man
whom you reproved is an idiot Since
then have always been afraid to reprove
those who misbehave in church, lest ]
should repeat the mistake, and reprove
another idiot" During the rest of the
service, at least, there was good order.
