Tho Lean and the Fut Bnntln sixn,.

Let not the readers Of the PHOENIX be

FROM tho discussion. II it be true that
somo persons are SO lean as to be wulk-

are SO oppressed by fat as to be unable

exactness whnt amount OF lat constitutes

health; but what is this moderate
amount2 Leaving it to my readers to
estimnte the value Of the answer, reply
that physiotogists generally fix the
amount of fnt Mt about the twentieth
part Of the weight of man, aud the
sixteenth part Of q woman. Whenever
the proportion falls below or rises above
this, the condition is abnormal. The
fatty or adiposo tissue is diffused over
the whole body, aud even in cases Of
great cmaciation some fat is always left
The principal seat of the deposit in
young people is the cellular tissue imme-

A MISSING DoCUMENT.-Dr. Hen
ry Dielman, the well-known professor
Of music residing near Emmitsburg.
Frederick county, Nd, and also well
known in our city, recently composed
grand march for the Kaiser William
Prussian Grand Band, and sent Il COPY
of it to New York to see if they a.
proved it. The leader Of the Band,
Herr Sato, not only approved tie
piece, but made known to the Doctor
that the band would perform it on
their visit to Baltimore, if he would
arrange it so as 10 accommodate the
different instruments composing the
band. Although this is a difficult
and troublesome undertaking, and
something every musician cannot ac-
complish, yet the Doctor went vigor-
ously to work and accomplished the
task in short time, being quite ac-
customed to this kind of work, and
mailed the manuscript and accompa-
nying letter to his brother in Baltl-
more. The letter arrived, but no
manuscript has as yet turned up.
The Postoffce Department made in
quiries, and found that the music had
been sent, but so far failed from some
reason or other to come to light. The
Doctor, under these aggravating cir
cumstances, lost all opportunity of
presenting to his numerous Baltimore
friends, under the auspices of this
grand band, a no doubt fine compost
ton. Professor Dielman has given to
the lovers of music many fine Sc lee
tons, among them the Grand Coun-
ell March" as performed at The Ca
thedral during the great conclaye Of
the bishops some time since.

Gen. JOHN F. HARTRANFT, their can

"his friends have exonerated him

neA. Senator Summer has written a
long letter to Dr.. T. A. Augusta, and
numb Of other coorcd men, giving
his advice to the colorcd peopls for
whom they should vote for President
at the next election. He prefers Ho-
race Greeley decidedly over General
Grant, claiming that Mr.. Greeley has
been longer and more consistent
Republican than the President; that
he was for Fremont and Freedom in
1856, when Gen. Grant was in favor
of Buchanan and Slavery; and more
over, Mr.. Sumner SAYS he was first
elected to the United States Senate
from Massachusetts, by coalition
of the Democrats and Free Sellers ;
and that Judge Salmon =. Chase was
also elected to the L. S. Senate from
Ohio in 1853, by coalition of
Democrats and Free Sellers; and
argues, therefore, that the fact Of re-
ceiving Democratic support is no ar
gument against the principles Of the
Republican party. That the Demo-
Gratis now have only initiated Presi-
dent Grant in joining the Party of
Freedom; and he says he is willing
to trust them, and believes them
sincere in indorsing the Cincinnati
Platform. Mr.S.is earnest for Greeley,
and strong against President Grant.
The letter is written with ability, and
will no doubt produce considerable
effect among the coIored people.
