Critical Periods Of Human Life.

From the age OF forty TO that of sixty
man who properly regulates himself
may be considered in the primo Of life.
His matured strength Of constitution
renders him almost impervious 10 the at
tacks Of disease, and all the functions are
In the highest order. Having gone year
or two past sixty, however, he arrives
at a critical period Of existence; the
river of death flows before him,
and he remains at stand-still
But athwart this river is vladuct
called "The Turn Of Life" which, II
crossed in safety, leads to the valley of
"Old Age" round which the river winds,
and then flows beyond without doubt
Of causeway TO effect It's passage. The
bridge is, however, constructed OF fra
gile materials, and il depends upon how
It is trodden whether II bend or break.
Gout, apoplexy, and other bad characters,
arc also ID the vicinity, TO waylsy the
traveller and thrust him from the
pass; but lei him grid up his lolns,
and provide himself with perfect
composure. To quote metaphor the
turn ot life," has a turn either into pro.
longed walk or into the grave. The
system and power having reached their
utmost expansion, now begin either 10
close, like flowers at sunset, or break
down at once. One ipjudicious stimulant,
q single fatal excitement, may force 1t be-
yond its strength, whilst careful supply
OF props, and tho withdrawal Of all that
tends 10 force plant, will sustain It in It's
beauty and vigOr until night has nearly
set in.-Rrchdnge.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 3.-The State Ag.
ricultural Society ol Missouri has been In
session to-day. The President Of the AS.
sociation, Col. Coleman, of the Rural
World, made an extended report, which
involved many facts Of interest. He states
that there are now over 1,l00 Oranges In
the State, with membership OF 10000
no other State having done near 80 much
in the same time. The good done by the
organization, he argues, is great. Labor
In Missouri has not been sufficiently di.
versified. In some respects there is an
over production, In others lack. The
dairy interest, he complains, Is neglected
to such an extent that dealers in cheese
and butter In St, Louis pay TO other States
over 100000 weekly. The erection OF
ch heese factories is advised.
The great number oi dogs In the State
renders wool.growing improbable A
change in the law regulating this matter
Is recommended. The cultivation ofcot-
ton in the southern countiesof the State
10 suggested. The culture of tobacco
might be very proftably extended, and It
Is suggested TO farmers that they will do
well 10 make Missouri equal 10 other
States so far as relates to the raising OF

A number Of sensational runors con
cerning the condition ol VIM. N. Tweed
have been set afloat since his confinement
in the Penitentisry. It has been asserted
that he had become crazed, and that he
was seriously III and dying. A Times re-
porter visited Blackwell's Island yester-
day, and made an investigation. into the
truth Of these statements 1t was ascer.
tained that Tweed had been slightly in.
disposed, but was much better, il not in
good health, yesterday afternoon. When
he was conveyed 10 the Penitcntiary he
carried with him certificate oil his fam.
lily physician, testifylng that he was suli
eTlng from bowel complaint, but DR..
Mcdonald, the surgeon In charge, after an
examination, decided that he was not u
tit subject for hospital treatment.
On Sunday last he was assigned 10 duty
as an orderly In the Penitenhary hospital
His duty In this position Is 10 nurse the
sick. Two prisoners are usually detailed
TO duty In the hospital Us oFderlies
Tweed Is subaltern, acting as assistant
to o prisoner who 10 serving out term Of
four months for stealing through rail-
road ticket, via the Pennsylvania Central
Railroad, to San Francisco. As an hospi-
tai orderly, Tweed Is allowed the freedom
ot q large and cheerful room, about 10 or
70 feet long and 80 feet wide. Here he
sleeps and cats with the sick prisoners,
his diet being the ordinary prison fare.
His superior officer" Il he may be so
called, is represented by Mr.. Liscomb,
the Warden Of the Penitentiary, to
be a man Of education and Of re.
spectacle family, who was unaccountably
driven into the commission Of criminal
act. When this prisoners term expires
Tweed will probably be promoted to his
position as full orderly. Richard n.
Tweed, the prisoners son, has visited his
father every day since bis confinement,
and was with him for q short time yester.
day. By the regulations of the prison
the family OF an inmate has right to
visit him once amonth. or oltener Il spec.
tally permitted by the Commissioners Of
Charities and Corrections. Tweed, 1t Is
said by the prison authorities, has appear-
ed 10 be much disheartened since his con.
finement, but yesterday he was little
more cheerful.

sr. LOUIS, Dec. S.-All the money
needed TO carry on the pork business is
obtainable, mostly on thirty and ninety
days paper, but In some cases the time
allowed is iour months. There are about
twenty packing.houses In operation In 81.
Louis, and these have daily capacity OF
10000 hogs. The receipts for tho week
ending this mOrnlug at II o'clock were
0953 hogs, against 07,575 for the pre-
vious week, and against h6035 for the
same time last year. Since the lst OF
January, 1873, the receipts have been
74S, 900 hogs. The weather has been bad
for handling for day or two, but Is
changing tonight. 81. Louis operators
show disposition to call in all the hogs
possible, and are willing 10 pay full rates.
The packing business 10 not managed In
81. Louis as in other cities, as nearly
everything 10 done with view TO accom-.
modating the Southern trade, which con.
tinues throughout the year. Hence q
slight variation In prices and rules OF the
trade. The present stiffness In rates is
supposed to DO caused by the exertions ol

There ls nothing decisive or satistacto'
~ In the news from Cuba, and Il Is i'm
possible to form reliable opinion as 10
what the SpanisrdS will probably DO In
the way Of interfering with the delivery
OF the Vlrginius. Fortunately the Pro-
tocol calls for delivery at some port in
the United States, and this may
spare the Spaniards the humilia'
ton they dread OF seeing the
surrender in the harbor Of Havana.
This fact may dis,uade them from any
act othosliliiy. towards our Government
and thus save the peace between them
and US. Il, however, they do attempt to
interfere with the delivery OF the Virgin
lus the United States Government will
probably give them such taste oi power
as they have not enjoyed for some time
past, They are sadly in need OF whole
some discipline at Havana.
