AMERICAN CATACAZIEs.

1t appears that the Fish-GTant Catacazy
invention is plaguing the inventors. The
Washington correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Gazette tells of two Catacazies from
this country-Dan. Sickles and Geo. p.
Marsh. the former Minister to Spain, and
the latter to Italy. The Gazette says edi-
torially:
@The American diplomatic method with
Catacazy has become the fashion. Spain
has communicated that our Minister Sickies
has interfered in her domestic factions till
he has become disagreeable to her. Italy
has informed our government that Minis
ter who disparages The character of her gov
eminent, as our Minister Marsh has done,
and as our unlucky State Department pub
lished, cannot be very agreeable 10 her.
Then we may as well add to the list our
Minister Kramer, at Copenhagen, who re
Gently made himself disagreeaole 10 the
whole diplomatic body, and whom we ought
to teach q lesson if Denmark does not. And
then there Is our Minister at St. James,
who. after giving the Emma mine the best
advertisement ever seen, and after drawing
I'm his ingenious friends to defend that as a
legitimate venture for a Minister, went
back on them by resigning his dictatorship
"a public concession to public propTlety,
and thus gave the mine another Hrst-Tate
advertisement And then there is the pro-
,claimed millennium through arbitration,
now COLLAPSED. This is decidedly an uE-
aucky year fer American diplomatlsts.

Many a fatal case OF dysentery is caused
by the want of wooden under shirt, or an
extra blanket at night. Sudden changes
of temperature are very trying to the con-
stitution. People with weak lungs quickly
feel the effects of them. Frequently the
thermometer falls many degrees within .
few hours. Not only the feeble, but robust
and strong persons suffer from such great
variations 0ftemperature. When the weather
grows cold rapidly, the pores of the skins
are suddenly closed, and the result frequent

terminate in consumption or 2 fatal attack

The Liberala.

S.. Louis, Feb. PA special to the
Democrat, from Topeka, Kansas, says: a
meeting has been called here tomorrow to
organize a State Committee and call State
Convention in the interest of the sO-called

Senator Ross, Mark J. PARROT, 5. y. Wood,

THE present winter has written a tale Of
unparalleled horror on the pages of Western
history. As yet, however, not half the
story of suffering from terrible frosts, and
damage from binding SHOW storms, has met
the public eye. Snow has been piled house
high in many localities, and men, women
and children frozen while endeayoring to
obtain food andfuel. In some cases parties
were overtaken in the open air and killed
by the blighting embrace Of the North
wind; in others, whole families died by
their own freless hearthstOnes, cold, hungry
and alone. These are SEINE Of the incidents
which have marked the winter Of 1872 in
the West.

GRANT is afraid of FOrney. lie can't

been counting Forney ever since that gen
tleman rendered his resignation. FOrney
gave a dinner in Philadelphia on the I'D inst.
and Grant went over from Washington TO
dine with his late Collector. A part Of the
entertainment is thus reported by the Phil
adelphia Inquirer:
"Shortly after that hour Mr.. Smith de-
scended To the parlor, and appeared upon
the stage clad in the old Continental COS
tune, wig, cockade, cut-away coat and all,
and was loudly applauded. Then in pc
culiarly humorous style, representing the
Father of his Country he delivered TO his
hearers an exordiUm. He told them what
they should do to perpetuate the name Of
the great nation which had been handed
down to them unsullied by their ancestors.
He was frequently interrupted with laugh
ter and applause, in which the President

salient point in the French arms scandal is
that the government armOries were en-
ployed by Gen. Grants administration, to
manufacture cartridges for the use of the
French in the aggressive war they opened

other startling features about it, but this Is
the one point which is admitted by al
sides" German citizens viii please make

THOUGHT ESSEN TEAL TO HEALTH
If we would have our bodies healthy our
brains must be used, and used in orderly
and vigorous ways, that the life-giving
streams of force may flow down from them
into the eXpectant organs, which can minis

admire the vigorous animal life Of the
Greeks, and without injustice. we recognize
and partly seek TO initiate the various gym
nastic and other means which they employed
TO secure it. But probably we should make
a fatal error if we Om:tte from our calcula-
ton the hearty and generous earnestness in
which the highest subjects of art, specula-
ton, and politics were pursued by them.
Surely, in this case, the beautiful and ener-
getic mental life was expressed in the ath-
letic and graceful frame. And were it
mere extravaganza to ask whether some
part of the lassitude and WEAKNESS Of life,
of which we hear so much in our day, might
be due to lack Of mental occupation on
worthy subjects, exciting and repaying a
generous enthusiasm, as well as to an over
exercise on lower ones? Whether an en-
gressInent on matters which have not sub
Stance enough to justify or satisfy the men
tai grasp, lie not at the root Of come part Of
the mGladies which affect our mental con-
valescence? Any one who tries it, soon
finds out how wearyiDg, how disprOportion-
ately exhausting is an overdose Of slight lit

time spent on real work. Of this we may
be sure, that the due exercise of brain-Of
