From the New York EveninI Post.
1t is asserted that during our late civil war
the Union troops incurred greater physical
dangers from their love of pie, than from the
bullets of the confederate soldiers This as
sertion, of course, appliedno disrespect to the
rebel bullets. Whenever one of them hit a
man fairly it killed him. But unfortunately
our soldiers were not delivered from pie
when they were well guarded from the
southern sharpshooter. In fact the former
supplemented the latte in the work of de-
struction, and was mo-. effective when the
men were in camp or Cu a march though q
peaceful district Of country. We are not
sure, however, that it was not eaten in the
face Of the enemy. The facility with which
it can be eaten anywhere Is one of the most
dangerous characteristics of pie.
Senator Schurz, in his recentiec in this
city, took occasion to speak Of pie as it ap-
peared in the family circle His remarks
were not respectful. 1t Is true that he
limited his attention to the " hall-baked"
and soggy" varieties, but his condemna-
tion was 50 hearty that we are inclined to
believe that he regards all pie as inuutritioGs
and unwholesome. lie introduced the sub
ject by speaking Of one of the principal el
fects Of eating pie, namely, dyspepsia. lie
introduced the subject by speaking Of dys-
pepsia. He said that this might fairly be
called the natural disease Of this country.
The social aspects of dyspepsia were then
considered; but we need not repeat all that
he said about the querulous habits and
chronic ill-temper which the disease usually
produces lie continued as follows -
" As dyspepsia comes from unwholesome
