Sprague's causeless and shameful persecution

There are but few changes in prices to report the

Highly Sea oned Food

As long IS the American people con.
aUmo such quantities Of stimulating and
higAly-soasoned food as they 60, they
viii want TO imbibe $timuIating drinks
Stimulating food and stimulating drinks
go necessarily together. The one is tho
concomitant of the other Many Il man
who seasons his dinner libera,ly with the
contents OF the castor cXcitcs in his sys-
tenn thirst FOR something stronger than
cold water Not that cold water would
not be the best thing with which to ex-
tinglish the fire he has kindIed within
the vital domain by the use Of such hot,
stimulating Condiments but that it is
too insipid Having partaken of such
highly seasoned food, he Graves drink
equally stimulating. = Now, it
is not true that everyone who eats inor,
dinately and of stimulating and highly
seasoned food is drunkard, but | hold
that such u one, by his manner of living,
supplies very important condition for
becoming a drunkard. That he does
not become one is, perhaps, because Of q
moral principle, acting in conjunction
with u great will power to restrain his
appetite for dtlusible stimulants for we
hold that in such case this appetite, to
a greater or less extent, exists. The
converse of this proposition, however, is
trne-that as general thing, men who
are fond of stimulating drinks are also
fond Of stimulating and highly.seasoned
food On the other hand, it was the
opinion of Liebig, founded upon obser
vation, that persons who live mostly
upon farinaceous and amylaceous food
cannot take wine all kinds Of alcoholic
drink seem to be repugnant to such. 1t
is only those whose daily diet consists
largely of animal food who can relish
spirituous liquors. Savage nations liv-
ing in tropical regions, where they have
subsisted mostly upon fruits and vege,
tables, the spontaneous productions of
mother earth, have rarely, upon coming
into contact with the white man and his
tire-water, fallen victims to intemper.
ance like the North American Indian,
who, living by the chase, has subsisted
wholly upon animal food. Sunday Af-
ternoon for August.

Eugenie's Souvenirs OF Her SON.

The poor Empress, writes CORE
spondent Of the Boston Journal, in her
melancholy seclusion of Camden House,
has the sympathy of everybody, includ-
ing the old ladies who are her enemies,
and who would not admit once upon
time that she WAS Il good wife and
mother. She received the Queen of
England the other day in the famous
blue boudoir, where she has collected all
the souvenirs which may hereafter have
only tragical interest to her. There
under glass can she keep the casts of
the right hand of the Emperor and the
young Prince, and these two hands are
represented as holding the adoption of
the law ordering the reconstruction of
the column in the Place Vendome.
There also, on dainty shelf, is little
white satin rosette that the Prince
Imperial wore on the day of his first
communion. By singular stroke of
luck this tiny piece of ribbon was found
intact in the midst of the ruins of the
Tuileries, preserved in some miraculous
manner from even single stain. And
there, too, on a pedestal, and carefully
shielded from harm, is marble bust OF
the Prince, which was likewise unin-
jured by the fire. The grief of the ex-
Empress is overwhelming, and she
wanders from room to room weeping
the whole day long. AS the bed cham
ber and the study of the Emperor have
been kept exactly as they were on the
day of his death, 80 are the rooms of
the young Prince left precisely as he
quilted them, never to return, and the
beds of both the Emperor and the Prince
are constantly covered with fresh violets.
In the chamber of the Emperor stands
a large wardrobe which contains every
object which Napoleon III. took from
the Tuileries when he went to the war
that on the 4th of September, 1870, he
would call his own, namely, his uniform.
What comment on the insecurity Of
human greatness.
