The Aniher Of "PrOVcrbial PhiIosO'
phy,"

The announcement thai Mr.. Martin
f. Upper had been granted Il pension
Of el20 year on the civil service list,
for the service he had rendered to hui
mainly by writing "proverbial Philos-
ophy,o will be received 10y some with
an amiable satisfaction, by some with
wonder, and by most with n smile.
Mr. Tupper is so far like Mr. DiSracli
that one rarely hears his name men
toned without Observing on the face
Of the Speakera more or less friendly
but certain humorous look. Ge' Mr..
Topper in u certain sense, may be
likpned to a higher than Mr.. Di,raeli.
Shakespeare, too, was master OF
proverbial philosophy. Ills sayings
on the most ordinary affairs OF life
have become proverbs; and they come
far more near TO Lord RusseIPs delini-
ton Ufa proVcrb-that is, "the wisdom
Of many and the wit Of one'--than
the ordinary proVerb, which ought to
be described as the acquiescence OF
many in the impertintucc of one.
Now, MI Tuppel's chief claim to the
regard of his fcll0w-c0unuymcn, ana
presumable to the approval OF whose
ever prevailed on the government to
grant him a pension, are founded on
his stating, in more or less iutel!igi-
bic language, Il series Of propositions
regarding love, duty, religion ana such
matters, from which no one can very
well dissent. IL is all quite true, or
may harlnlessly be accepted rs true by

Sca.SicI4HcSs.

The opinion 80 commonly held in re-
gard TO sea-sicllness, namely, that ii is
due either TO q congestion of the brain,
or to a commotion in the abdominal
viscera caused by the motion OF the
vessel, are very plausibly combated by
NJ. PelIerin, who, in n paper read be-
fore the French Academy, attributes
the maIady to IL deranged circulation OF
the blood produced by the alternate
rolling and heaving Of the vessel. The
result of this, he says, is not II conSes-
tion of the brain, which is, Oh the con-
trary, deprived of some Of the Dloou
required to keep up stimulus OF that
nervous center; that sensation winch
is felt in sea-sicllncss resembling pecu-
liarlv what he felt Immediately after a
letting Of blood when the patient sits
or stands, viz: a disposition to vomit,
or actual vomiting, In support OF this
opjnion mention is made of the fact
that persons who are liable to sea-sick-
ues. experience its effects in u much
slightcr degree when they are in a
horizontal position, the relief thus at-
forded being like that which is pro-
duced il the same position when per-
son Is in Il state of syncopc.

Mr.. Wheeler, of New ork, CHAR

take strong ground against what he
calls tho extravaganza which las here
tofore characterized the river and har-
Dor appropriations. The amount es-
tmated for the next year is about Sl5,-

try to reduce it to fourth or a fifth Of

II cites the harbor of Superior City,
Wis, which he visited last summer
The last appropriation for that harbor
was $780, 900. and yet but one vessel
arrived at Superior City during the
previous year.
It is just such fayoritism and ''iobs"
Is this which is the curse of our Gov
srnment. The appropriations of large
sums of money for favored localities,
" to give "fat" contracts to certain
individuals too frequently prevent
neritorious enterprises and nece sary
improvements from receiving any aid,
n cuts down the appropriations to
such an extent as to cripple the work.
Wilmington's chances for Government
aid goes hand i'll hand with that of
Superior City. The amount each re-
,eived last year was the same. Our
-xport trade amounted last year to
eight millions OF dollars. We sup
pose the export trade at Superior City
emouited to hardly as many hundred.

,.Cc EnU FARMERS.

We commend to our readers, wheth'
er farmers or not, the sensible article
from our correspondent ''Justice.
The odious doctrine of Protection, to
which our Government seems welded,
is doing the producers Of the country
more harm than many other things to
remedy which great combinations OF
farmers are forming powerful parties.
If the Patrons of Husbandry, West
and South, will turn their combined
efforts against Protective Tariffs, and
send only men to Congress who viii
truly represent them upon this vital
issue, they will break down q monop-
oily which is doing more TO grind them
into the dust than all others of which
they complain. The tribute which
Western and Southern farmers are
paying to Eastern capitalists is para
living their energies and eating up
their substance. Here is the true field
for reformation.
