Fruit as q Diet.

In my rambles through the country
| have been Induced to observe and
preserve from what [ see items which
have led me to conclude that there is
too little being written upon the sub
ject of fruit as diet for the human
family, or the raising of fruits and
fruit trees.
In the first place, those who live in
Middle Tennessee and Southern Ken
lucky, where fruits to some extent
have been cultivated for the last half
century, and have never visited the
new countries or the localities where
fruits have been sparsely cultivated,
have but little idea of the difference
in the minds and caste of the people
in general. In the one case, you have
people of quick perception, intelli-
gent with plenty of:life and energy as
we'll as healthful morals while on the
other hand, you have sluggish, sloth-
full intellect, which cares but little for
the morality of his neighbors and who
is much more liable to take strong
drink than the man who lives on fruits
and vegetables. And while l am not
Jew or any part of a Jew, when we
take into account the very small pro-
portion Of that race who die of scrof-
ula, consumption, or any of the kin
dred diseases and observe the little
drunkenness among them compared
with our own race, we are compelled
to admit there is a cause for all this.
that cause being diet used, which is
light meatsand vegetables-and wheth-
er the theory here advanced be cor
correct or not, every thinking man
must admit that portion which refers
to eating fruit as an every day diet for
the promotion of health And while
Changers and husbandmen are so freely
discussing other branches of husband
ry throughout the country, why is it
that so little is being said by nursery
men and others interested in the rails
ing and propagatiDg the improved
fruits in Middle Tennessee and South
ern Kentucky. In the first place, this
is bit of country which has many ad-
vantages for the raising and propaga-
ting of trees, as we'll as many locations
so situated as to make crop of fruit
almost every season an absolute cer-
tainty, while we have easy access to
the best markets on the continent,
Louisville, Cincinnati, Chicago, st.
Louis, and other points being near by
and very indifferently supplied with

THE amendment offered by ex-
SPEAKER Blaine to extend the amnesty
proposition to all save Hon. Jefferson
Davis, is the most narrow minded and
vindictive exhibition of feeling that
ever disgraced the Halls Of Congress.
That radical aspirant'to the Presidency
has not the shrewdness to perceive
that his attempt to display his malig-
nant hatred of the South can have no
other effect than to give his intended
victim distinguished place in history,
which Blaine can never approach ex-
cept for the sake Of a striking contrast
between the purest and the meanest Of
mankind.

THE debate on the Amnesty bill
will be the event of the session. Blaine
falsified the record of war to make
capital for himself as Presidential
candidateand tore passion into tatters
in the vain effort to insult the South
through its pure statesman, Jefferson
Davis-forgeting in his maddened zeal
that he was transmitting to posterity,
the unavoidable conclusion, that his
fears magnified the danger to be ap-
pretended from the enfranchisement
of single individual in all the South
and that man as gentle and refined in
feeling as the purest woman. But
whether fear, or baser motive,
prompted his outrage upon truth, JUS
flee and humanity, we have little doubt
that the whitening rebuke and excori-
ating lashing administered by S. S.
Cox and B. II. Hill, have made the
Presidential aspirant from the outer
verge of New England civilization, re-
greet that he called into play those no.
bier attributes of man which spurn the
grovelling meanness of the demagogue
and the greater baseness of the corrupt
partizan. Blaine may have made cap
ital with the Ravens of the church and
the ruling spirits of thieving rings, but
he has won no advocate whom a high
toned gentleman would recognize as a
friend.

MISSISSIPPI has a rare chance to
serve the whole country by making a
Senator of the gifted and noble Lamar,
and then supplying his place in the
House with its next best specimen of
a patriot and statesman. If the hon
or of the government and the restora-
ton of public virtue are to be secured in
the future, it is clear to every close OBJ
server that the task devolves upon
the South. The real people of this
section are honest and patriotic-the
exceptions being the migratory carpet
Dagger and the mercenary scallawag,
and when the South puts forward such
representative men as Lamar, the bet
ter portion of the Northern people
welcome them as invaluable coadiutors
in the work of redemption and reform.

CARL SCHURZ is very emphatic in
the expression of his belief that
Grants administration is the prolific
source of the debasement of public
virtue; but thinks it monstrous that
he should be suspected of completely
in the frauds of the whisky rings. If
the villainous conduct of his own ap-
pointees, and his efforts to shield some
of them from punishment, is not proof
of his guilt, inductive philosophy is at
fault and logic has lost its force. The
way to maintain the honor of the gov
eminent is to expose and punish crime,
instead of concealing it that foreign
countries may not blush for the degra-
dation of the administration and of
those who have placed it in power.

THE New York Herald has publish
ed in detail the constitution, signs,
grips and passwords of the new Or
der of American Union, the sole
object of which is to secure for Grant
a third term, by getting up crusade
against Catholics-political in the be-
ginning, but armed in the end. 1t has
ever been our honest conviction that
the Reformation owed its success to
the truth of its doctrines and the force
of its facts and arguments Have these
been so far lost in the lapse of time as
to require new effort for the preser-
walton and spread of those doctrines
through the uncalled for Intervention
ofan ambitious demagoguo, over whom
Christian morality has no saving in
fluence? In controversies about points
of faith, an appeal to force is evidence
of conscious weakness-of want of
confidence in the truth and justice of
cause which seeks such extraneous
aid. Professionalism must have reach
ed low ebb indeed, if it is ready to
accept the guidance of a corrupt poll
tician, an enemy of the Republic, and
of civil and religious liberty, whose
sole motive is self-aggrandisement, and
whose only argument is an appeal to
the instincts of grossly corrupt party
leaders and TO the ignorance and big
otry of the rabble. IF Professionalism
must needs have aid against the power
of the Pope and the seductive argu-
ments of his missionaries, let it look
not to Washington for a Luther, nor
amongst those who have trampled upon
the Constitution ndspurned the teach
ings of christianity. Grant wants a
third term, and this is the beginning
and the end of his pretended zeal for
the protestant cause.
