Diet and HABIT.

The following observations on diet,
habit, &C., will be found quite as valu-
able as any: Quinins should not be eaten
after hearty meal of India rubber; the
spermaceti contained in the former will
ignite with the oxalic acid of the latter,
and wagon grease will be evolved with
disastrous results. Before taking a bath
the entire body should be carefully wash.
ed. Then lay on coating of tar and get
into the water. 1t can't touch you any
where. 1t is not so fashionable as it was
to chop n cord of wood before breakfast {;
none but very old men, who cling to tho
traditions of youth like lean leech to q
stuffed frog, ever do it, and thoy COM
monty perish at it. Getting out Of bed
in perspiration is to be avoided-a
lie in bed as long as you can find any
excuse for it. Nothing is more injurious
than the ordinary method OF going up
stairs; it causes the alkali in the blood
to settle in the corns, producing Arian-
ism and strangulation. The proper way
is to lie on your stomach and go up feet
first. Never sleep with your eyes shut;
it is degenerate habit. Bathing, as in
timaled above, is conducted on wrong
principle. 1t is probable that the custom
might be advantageously abolished alto
gether. Bath.houses and bathing oems
in dwellings are thing of recent growth
Our grandtathers seldom or never bath
ed; and it is conceded that they lived
to be several hundred years old. Pota-
toes should always be eaten with the
skins on, skins contain bicarbonale OF
mucilage, which is just what the liver re-
quires. When the custom OF giving the
skins to the poor originated, science was
almost wholly unknown. There are
more things it would be well to know,
but a strict compliance with the rules
already given will enable you TO live az
long as you will wish TO. Further in
struction would not prolong your misery.

BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS
UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT.

Swearing In the Grand Jury.
Yesterday the Grand Jury Of the United States
Circuit Court was sworn In before Judge Shipman.
The foreman ID Mr.. John T. B. Maxwell.
THE CHARGE
Judge Shipman said they were aware that they
had been summoned for the purpose Of making an
inquiry into any alleged offences against the laws
of the United States AS he had not been informed
what classes Of offences would be submitted to their
inquiry he had no special instructions to give them.
II any question OF law arose upon which they
q statute or other things OF that character
such instructions as they might desire. No man
could be tried by petty jury in the United States
until he had been first presented by grand jury
Of the district in which he had committed an Of
fence. 1t would be the duty OF the District Attor-
ney to furnish them with evidence, so that they
thought they ought to find. The District Attorney
would also refer them to the statutes on
d which the indictments should be founded.
Of witnesses that an offence had been
committed. The rule OF evidence was that they
were to be satisfied, on the proofs brought before
them, whether they would warrant petty jury to
find verdict OF guilty In the absence OF explana-
ton on the part OF an accused person. The defend
ant did not come before them, neither did he sum-
mon witnesses before them; and 1t was their duty
to pass H on a., the evidence presented to them and
OF defendant, 1t would justify them in finding q
true bill. II the evidence did not come up to That
could be found against an accused person unless
tweve OF the grand jury agreed to 1t
and sixteen OF their number must be present to
form quorum. They were to receive their infor-
nation under oath; their foreman was authorized
to administer an oath. They were not to listen to
any one on the business they had to do; they were
to keep their oaths. Public rumor was not q sub
ject OF consideration for the Grand Jury. Under
their Oaths they were to say whether a man was
guilty or not. The Judge concluded with these
words: :-'If any offence has been committed to the
knowledge OF any Of you individually you are

offence that may thus come within the personal
knowledge OF any of you"
The Grand Jury then retired to their room.
Action for Not Stamping Receipts.
The United States We. the Hudson River Railroad
Company.-This was an action brought by the
government against the defendants to recover
from the latter the sum OF $3.50 for not stamping
receipts The suit Is instituted under section 1853
Of the Act Of June 80, 1854 as amended by the Act
of July 13, 1866. The attorneys desired to try the
case before the Court and not by jury. There
was verdict Tor the government.

phatic earnestness.
