Preserve This.

"How much ability to labor can we
derive from eating pound of potatoes,
or dollars worth of brandy, beer or
gin2" are items of information which
could be turned to large account by
multitudes of the toiling poor.
Some kinds of food are more nrtri-
tious than others, and il it should be
found that articles which are cheapest
have most nutrment, and give the
highest ability to labor, then knowl
edge becomes money to the poor.
Tables vary, but some of the general
results are as follows: One pound of
rice, prepared for the table, gives SO
per cent. of nutriment, snd, conse-
quently, relative proportional ability
to labor, compared with other articles
Of food. A pound of beef, costing 10
cents, gives only 26 per cent. of nntri-
ment. According to these estimates,
therefore, rice as an article OF food, is.
100 per cent. cheaper, 100 per cent
more valuable to the common laborer'
than roast beef, yet countless numbers
of the poor in New York strain point.
daily to purchase beef at 10 cents u
pound, when they could get pound of
rice for one-third the amount, the rice,
too, having three times as much nutTi-
ment as the beef, making a practical
difference of 600 per cent, aside from
the fact that boiled rice 10 three times
easier of digestion than roast beef, the
rice being digested in about one hour,
roast beef requiring three hours and n
half. There is meaning, then, in the re-
puted fact that two-fifths of the human
family live mainly on rice. We COM
pile, therefore, the following tables for
preservation, as being practically and
permanently useful. All the economist
requires is to compare the price of
pound of food with the amount OF nu-
triment 1t affords:

Every intelligent gentleman will read
and give proper weight to the facts
presented by the New York Herald
when it says that "despite his extrava-
CANT rhetoric Wendell Phillips is not q
fool. He Is as keen judge as any
outsider of what President Hayes
means. His lampooning TRADE against
the President attests his full belief in
the Presidents sincerity. Those friends
Of the South whose faith has begun to
wavsr, in consequence of Mr.. Hayes's
slowness and seeming hesitation, will
be encouraged when they find that men
like Wendell Phillips have given
him over, and that their rage car
ries them beyond all bounds and de
sency. This invective of Mr.. Phillips's
will help the President in public esti-
nation. The extravaganza of its abuse
is seli-refuting in respect to the par
ticular charges, and the hostile animus
it betrays is q conclusive proof Of the
despair of its author. II men like Gar
rison and Phillips praised the Presi-
dent, or even attempted to coax and
wheedle him, the doubts of his SINGER
ity might deepen into belief; but when
these men are seen to pour out all
their vials Of wrath and yituperation
Gas does the Marshall Herald on his
head, it is evident to everybody that
they, at least, think him in downright
earnest in the policy he has announced.
The way in which Mr.. Phillips
singles out every member of the Cabi-
net for personal disparagement and
libel is the most satisfactory comment
which has yet been made by anybody
on the fitness Of the Presidents advis-
ers for carrying out the policy he has
adopted. II they pleased Wendell
Phillips they could not possibly please
rational, eonslderate Northern or South
ern men. The President should re-
gard Mr.. Phillips incontinent invec'
tive as the highest compliment and the
best tribute to his sincerity which has
been paid him IN any quarter. Whose
sentimsnts does Wendell Phillips re,

IT is the earnest hope of the iRtelli-
gence and decency and patriotism of
Texas that Rutabsga johnson, late of
the constitutional convention, and
leader in that marvellous body of the
colored and white alliance organized to
defeat the restriction of suffrage in
corporate elections, will never more be
heard from. When the rude old
agrarian assailed Throckmorton s few
days ago at Mckinney, the Congress
man utterly destroyed him, and let
ter-writer says the multitude were SO
exasperated that old Rooty was hardly
safe in his own person. The people
have learned to abhor the chief of the
Holy Alliance.
