who founded the Republican party
here, ex.ofacers in the Union army,

gives us pleasure indeed to eo9vey -
our people the feelings VI havs,at
this moment, upon the question Of our
disenthrallment from Radical rule,
which means salvation from ruin.
Nearly all the white men in tho par
ish have registered, and the result is
beyond our most sanguine expecta-
tons. We have now only I'd fear tip
Radical leaders against which! We
have, time and again, warned Out
people-that Of putting in tho field =

white vote, and to distract and dts.
turb tho white organization, This
movement has been already begun At

of our ticket, and placing the names
of good men in the place Of those
whom, for reasons best known to
themselves, they reject, We know
the patr:otism of tina oantlAman NAM
ed n connection with these Offices too
we'll, to doubt for q moment that the
movement meets their appreciation.
On the contrary they will oppose with
all their power any action calculated
to nutralize the white vote.

D{o Leicis on Wheat.

Wheat contains OF the carbonaies or
heat and fat producers. sixty-nine per
cent; OF nitrates, or muscle producers,
fourteen per cent. OF the phosphates' or
food for brain and bones, two per cent
These proportions constitute for a tenn
perate climate, and with moderate
degree OF exercise, model food. 80 II
wheat were eaten in its natural condition
without boiling. it would supply oil the
needed elements of the human body, and
would sustain lie for an indefinite period.
But, in the process of boiling, large
portion OF the nitrales aud phosphates is
removed: so that bread made Of superior
fine flour will sustain life only few
weeks.
A man may perform hard labor on
wheat and water for years: but give him
as much superiinc -four rs he can eat.and
add, il you please. butter and sugar, and
he will starve TO death.
Several of the menageries have starved
their bread eating animals by feeding
them on white bread. Ii they had fed
them upon boiled wheat, and occasionally
upon wheat without grinding or cooking.
they would have flOurished.
Crushed wheat, or q flour made OF
wheat without boiling, is likewise very
grateful and healthful.
The ordinary process OF maxine super
fine flour results in the loss OF most nutri-
tious portion OF the wheat. Under the
microscope, grain of wheat divides into
three principal layers-the hull. or bran
proper which is not nutritious the gluten,
which lies next within the hull. and which
is the most nutritious part OF the grain /;
and the starch. from which the ordinary
wheat -four is made. Usually the gluten
is removed with the bran in the ordinary
process.
The public is rapidly learning to under.
stand and appreciate the important truths
contained in the above statement OF DR..
Lewis. The popularity OF prime white
wheat, properly manufactured. with all
OF its nourishing elements retained, is last
increasing.

( profession of their faith. A very special
and general work OF grace was enjoyed
under his labors in 1872. And rs the

nine members. Since that date the
number added by profession i. one hum
dred and three. and by letter thirty seven.
There have been removed from the church

iectured that the second church would die
