Personal Sketches in Washington.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Herald Of Health writes in the April num-
Der of that lively magazine:

The Washington correspondent of the
Herald Of Health writes in the April num-
Der of that lively magazine:
TIE PRESIDENT.
Evrybody kuoTs that he is a smoker,
and a tremendous one, too. He told me
that while he was in the field he smoked
literally all the time, but that in civil life,
confined to the house as heis many hours
in the day, he has beer obliged to reduce
the number cf cigars, that he allows him
SELF Especially in walking does he
smoke. He takes his solitary walk reg
-ularly every day, and graduates the lenght
Of the walk to the lenght Of the cigar.
When John Quincy Adams was Secreta
ry of State aud President, he set an ex-
ample of care for health with reference
to bathing. Every morning, early, during
the summer months, he took his plunge
in the Potomac. In that form Of hydro
pathic zeal, the present occupant of the
White House certainly does not initiate
Mr.. Adams. The Executive Mansion
enables him to take his ablutions in a
more agreeable manner than by a swim
In the great river.
But President Grant has another habit,
which is very wholesome. both for body
and mind-he believes in sanitary value
of an occasional journey, trip to the
sea side, run across the continent.
And he is right. No matter if partisan
newspapers do ridicule him for it, it is
the proper thing for him to do. 1t
brings him into contact with the minds
of the people. It saves him from the
illusions which an incessant stay IL
Washington is sure to breed. Above
all, it gives to mind and body the relaxa
ton which both need from the torturing
strain of executive duties.
1t is hard to fnd fault, even in the
mildest fashion, with man like
EIR. COLFAX.
His sudden and alarming illness last
year led to pretty wide discussion o1
his health habits. Some very ridiculou:
and false things were published On the
subject.
Mr.. Colfax has always been a very
healthy man. He believes in health
He has always triei TO take care of BIZ
health. He is jolly and an eioquen
advocate of the sanitary value Of constan
cheefulness, of resistance to bother ant
| worry, of the avoidance Of personal quar-
rels, Of moderation In ambition, of Twin {
at reaee with God and man. Moreover
he takes all the exercise he can get il
rapid walking about Washington; he i
very temperate in eating; and all his hf'
he has wholly abstained from all intoxica
ting drinks.

years ago, where were illustrious Amer
lean and foreign statesmen. he declined
to take wine. A noted Senator, himsel

Mr.. Editor Having heard the letter of
your lady correspondent at Harper's Ferry
spoken about, | read it, and must say, that
don't see anything particular in it. There
are plenty of young ladies in our school that
could write just as we'll. Ny sister, am
sure could. Her education. however. I con-
fess, is finished. Camp Hill" says she is
fond of flowers. Now pray, who is not p
Then as to our being indebted for the Japontcu,
TO the Nloors in Spain, l don't believe it
why the Moors were negroes. Papa says so :;
and further, that the world is indebted to
them Tor nothing. As for Pears, if the Moors
brought thH'n t. Spain, they must have first
stolen them somewhere else. Cousin saws

slang perhaps But notwithstanding ull
Aumt's 'rouble, he will continue to use words

Spanish arabic civilization, our Pastor has
JUST been visiting us and although he Savs.
that more Important studics have nterfrrcd

yet that!hGrc is no doubt, the civilization in
question was gross and irreli"ious and even

he repeated them. AS for me, know moth

What we think about the contribution in aues-
