Meat Extracts Not Nutritious.

The increasing skepticism of physi-
ologists in regard to the nutritive value
of the various meat extracts, so much
advertised at the present day, has been
rather fortified by the publication of an
elaborate report by Muller, Of Paris,
upon the physiological character Of
meat extracts in general. In this, start
ing out with the proposition, first, that
meat extracts do not have any nutritive
value, and second, that they sometimes
have certain action which is to be Mt
tributed only to their mineral principles,
and especially to the salts OF potash, he
proceeds to examine tie various prepa-
rations, whether boullions OF extracts,
and then inquiries into the heterogeneous
principles contained in these prepare
tions, and finally devotes a third part TO
q discussion of the action of the potash
salts.
We have not the space to give the de-
tails of his elaborate researches under
these three heads, but present the fol-
lowing summary Of his conclusions upon
the subject First, that meat extracts
are ailments neither directly, since they
contain no albuminoid matters, nor in
directly, since their heterogeneous princi-
pies do not arrest assassination. Sec
ond, in feeble doses they may be useful
by the stimulating action of the salts of
potash, which favor digestion and circu-
ation. Third, in stronger doses, instead
of being useful, they may have an iniu-
rious influence administered at the
end flo1g sickness, when the economy
of the system is exhausted by prolonged
abstinence, the salts of potash have an
injurious effect, manifest in proportion
as the system has lost all its chloride of
sodium. Far from favoring nutrition,
they interfere with it by the direct &C.
ton Of these potash salts upon the glo-
bule which produces the least absorp-
ton of oxygen, and by the predominance
in the serum of salts which only dissolve
carbonic acid physically, and do not per.
init the exhalation of the normal guam
tity of this gas, and consequently the in
PRODUCTION Of oxygen. Fourth, the physi-
clan should always bear in mind that to
give these extracts alone is to maintain
the patient in a condition of inanition,

A GOOD EXAMPLE is the property OF
the community, and most valuable prop
erty it is to. Let an industrious thrifty
man move into community, one more
given to deeds than to words, and let
him set to work faithfully to build mp a

When tempted to despond, that noble
example cheers and encourages them on,
to feel that they, too, may succeed by
like effort. 1t is u constant rebuke to
laziness to see a neighbor diligent in
business. One can never tell where a
good example may fall, nor what fruit it
may bring forth.

The VINEGAR USED. In making the
best Of American pickles, cider vinegar
is much used. The English imported
pickles are in malt vinegar, while the
French use a fine white vinegar, made
from wine. But in the cheaper grade of
pickles, no such luxurious waste Of mon
ey is permitted. The science of chemiS-
istry has not been developed without an
object, and now, with a gallon of cheap
whiskey and n chemical recipe, your
shrewd pickle manufacturer will turn out
an article of vinegar which possesses all
the preservative qualities Of the genuine
article, being acid enough to suit the
most bilious stomach, and possessing also
certain injurious qualities which it is per.
haps wisest not to dwell upon. The pub
lie want pickles, and want them cheap ;
and moreover, they want them Of a bright
handsome green, and crisp and hard to
bite. These results can only be attained
in cheap way by the use OF vinegar
such as we have alluded to above, and the
addition of a small proportion Of copper,
which, while certainly injurious, produces
a color so pleasing to the eye, that to omit
its use with some parties would be to
spoil the sale of the goods.

A COOP SToRy,-A capital personal
is told OF Bishop Whitehouse. of Illinois.
He recen ly undertook to illustrate a
point in his sermon by telling his con-
gregation how he had once been lost on
the prairies of Illinois, and had wander ed
for long time weary and almost hope
less. At last he saw Il light, and made
his way slowly toward it, shouting for
help. "Just as I THOUGHT could go no
further" said the bishop, "and was
about sinking down in despair, the door
of cabin opened before me, and the
long looked for Sucker came" The I'M

A REMARKABLE SCENE occurred in the
British House Of Lords two or three
weeks ago. In the British Parliament
member of the House of Commons
who becomes bankrupt, thereby loses
lis seat if he does not pay up within
twelvemonth and a bankrupt peer
is utterly disqualified from sitting, vo,
ting, or speaking in the House Of Lords.
On discharging his Indebtedness, how
ever, a bankrupt peer becomes rehab,
ilitated. These provisions are of recent
introduction. Formerly, Parliament was
a favorite refuge for impecunious aristo-
Gratis who wished to avoid the unpleasant
attentions of the bailif1s. A victim to
the new rules in the House of Lords,
Lord De Maulay, who had been com.
PEELED to vacate bis seat, having paid his
creditors and produced a certificate from
the Court of Bankruptcy to that effect
on motion Of the Lord Chancellor has
been reinstated in his privileges as {
peer, with all the formalties due to sc
important an event. This was the frs
occurrence of such a ceremony in tina
body.

ENOUGH OF TIA Mrs. Hubbard, Of
Higganum, undertook to train calf the
other day. Soon after, some worAmen
employed near the house saw Mrs. H..
sitting on the ground and the calf jump
ing around her. They then saw her
lying down on the ground the calf still
jumping about. One of the meu ran
down, and found that the rope was wound
about her neck, and that she was black
in the face and nearly choked to death.
He cut the rope, when she gasped and
was soon restored to consciousness, but
it was evident that she could not have
stood the pressure but a short time long
er. It is to be presumed that Mrs. H.
will not attempt to train animals very
soon again.

why Men Of the South shauld supp O. /
MI. Greeley.

The Lynchburg Virgiuian, eae Of the
abies; and best conducted yrtsrers in the
South, thus forcibly gsosents tie reason
why men of our section should support
Greeley: ...
First; he will give US fair repre- sen ia
ton IL toe Executive department of the
Government, by putting some Of our
best and ablest men in The cabinet to be
his constitutional advisers. Grant las
not done It, -.
Second; he will see that Suite rights
are respected and local self-governmant
maintained In all Of tho States. the South
included. Grant has done otherwise.
Third, he will institutea thorough re-
form in the Government, by czpeljiog
thieves and substituting honest men in
ali of the departments of the public ser-
vice. Grant has not so done. .....
Fourth; he will command the carpet
bagers to the rear and give the public
Offices in the South to our own cltiz sns
Ito men Of character and capacity,
whose sympathies and interests are with
Fifth; he will not make the govern,
ment an institution for thessbeneEt of hi,
relations, nor be eng aged in so distribat-
ing its affairs during one term as to
secure denomination for another. Grant
has done this. .. 80. 49,.
Sixth; he viii break up the military
ring, send the epaulettcd civilians about
the White House., to the army, and
abolish all the forms of military govern
ment that Grant has kept up. -.
Seventh; be will see that the civil
government; IS supreme owe. the N iitary
everywhere, and that personal liberty is
III viclably secured. Grant has failed in
this also.
Eighth; being a man of labor and
skilled in all that pertains to the science
of government own especially,-he
will give his personal presence at the
Metropolis, to attend to the appropriate
duties of his office, and relieve US Of the
hum iliatiug spectacle Of Presidential
absenteeism, and junketing at horse races
and places Of amusement, which we have
been compelled to witness during the in
cumbeney of his predecessor.
In short. it is because we believe that
Greeley will be infinitely superior in that
high Office to Grant, and that he will sur.
round himself 18th different and better
class Of men than those who control
Grant, that ve will support him. with all
our heart, for the Presidency. Therefore
we put his name at the head Of our
columns to-day, and shall keep it there
until the day of election. And now let
all who favor reform in the Government
rally to the supper, of Greeley and Brown.
