If 1t is true that a hearty meal can be
obtained for two cents, as Boston paper
remarks can be done, the suferings OF
thousands in other cities can be mitigated
at comparatively little cost. 1t is claimed
that three cents worth OF oatmeal, milk
costing the same sum, and sugar enough
TO sweeten it, will give hearty meal to
six persons for twelve cents. Prop.
erly prepared oatmeal possesses more
bone and matchmaking material than
any other food that can be purchased
for the same money, and, though
but little appreciated in this country,
forms the staple food Of brawny race,
remarkable for their devotion TO athletic
amusements,-the Scotch. The fact that
oAt meal possesses large amount OF nu.
triment has long been proclaimed by sci,
enifc men, and, in view Of the deatitu'
tion existing among the unemployed, II
might be substituted for more expensive
and for less nutritious food with excellent
effect.

The FOOllshness of Mardi.Grass.


In yesterdays Cincinnati Gazette there
Is special dispatch from Memphis read
Ing as follows
MEMPH1s, Feb. 1.-THE carnival TO-.
day was somewhat dull, the rain having
fallen during last night and at intervals
during the day, and but for the sloppy
condition Of tho streets and the vile.
drunkenness and wdnessdisplayed there
might have been q much better time. As
II was there were but few respectable
people on the streets, and tonight OF the
balls there Is little but laclviousness and
drunkenness. The station houses are full
and hardly an hour passes that there is
not an arrest for cutting or shooting.
The parade Of tho Memphi tonight did
not come up 10 that Of last year, and this
will probably be the last occasion OF the
kind that will ever be held here.
The streets were too muddy for the
procession to-day, and were in conse-
quenCe filed with the worst mob ever seen
In the city.
The balls tonight are well attended,
except that Of the too select eMemphi, at
which there were several fights.
The country will read such news as
the above from Memphis with feeling
near akin to disgust. 1t was only a lew
weeks ago that death stalked at noon and
at midnight through the streets Of that
city, and laid low innumerable victims.
A decent respect Tor public opinion, leav.
Ing out Of sight any other consideration,
would have dictated q winter oI sobriety
after such visitation. But according to
the above dispatch the city Is as besotted
In debauChery and rufflanism as sodom
and GomorTah. We do not wonder that
the better class of people made themselves
scarce in the streets, considering the
character of the display, nor that
the Mardi.Gras business has fallen
into disrepute among them Tor the
future. Such q carnival will do for
New Orleans, where it has fourished for
years as an institution OF the place, but it
is not susceptible Of adoption in every en-.
yious town and city on the Mississippi |
river that is jealous Of the prestige OF New
Orleans.
