SCIENCE AT BREAKFAST.

Under this heading the editor Of
Science groups together great deal of
information on the action of tea, coffee
and chocolate. The latter, he says,
from its large proportion of albumen, is
the most nu,ritivc beverage, but at the
same time, from its quantity OF fat, the
most difficult to digest. Its aromatic
qualities, however, strengthen the digcs-
tion. A cup of coffee is an excellent
restorative and invigorating refresh
ment even for weak persons, provided
tha, their digestive organs are not too
delicate. Cardinal Richelieu attribu-
ted to chocolate his health and hilar;iy
during his later years. Tea and coffee
do not afford this advantage. Albumen
in tea leaves, and leguilnin in coffee
grounds are represented in very small
proportions. The praise of tea and
coffee rs nutritivc substances, therefore,
is hardly warranted. Tea and coffee,
though Of themselves not difficult of
digestion, tend to disturb the digestion
Of albuminous substances precipitafing
them from dissolved state.
Milk, therefore, il taken in tea or cof-
fee, is more difficult of digestion than If
taken alone Without milk it promotes
digestion by increasing the secretion of
the dissolving juices. The volatile oil
of coffee, and the empyreumatic and
aromatic matters Of the chocolate accel-
crate the circulation, which, on the
other hand, is Gained by tea. Tea and
coffee stimulate the activity Of the brain
and nerves. Tea, it is said, increases
the power of digesting the impressions
We have received, creates a thorough
meditation, and in spite OF the move
ment of thoughts, permits the attention
to be fixed on 4 certain subject. On
the other hand, il tea is taken to excess
it causes an increased irritation Of the
nerves, characterized by sleeplessness,
with general feeling Of restlessness and
trembling of the limbs.
Coffee, too, if taken in excess, pro-
duces slecplessncss and many baneful
effects very similar to those arising from
tea drinking. Coffee also produces
greater excitement, and sensation OF
restlessness and heat ensues. For throw
ing of this condition fresh air is the
best antidote.

LOOK UP, NOT DOWN.

Life TO some 10 full Of sorrow-
Half 10 real, half they borrow;
Full Of rocks and full Of lodges,
Corners sharp and cutting edges.
Though the joy-beils may be ringins.
Not q song you'll hear them singing:
Seeing never makes them wise,
Looking out from downcast eyes.
All in. vain the sun is shining,
Waters sparkling, blossoms twining;
They but see through those same sorrows
Sad to-days and worse Tomorrow;
See the clouds that must pass over;
See the weeds among the clover
Everything and anything
But the gold the sunbeams bring.
Draining from the bitter fountain,
Lo your mole hill seems n mountain.
Drops Of dew and drops Of rain
Swell into the mighty main.
All in vain the blessings shower,
And the mcrcies fall with power,
Gathering chat. 20 tread the wheat,
Rich and royal, meath your feet.
Let Il not be so, my neighbor;
Look up. as you love and labor,
Not for one alone woes viais,
Every one has cares and trials,
Joy and pain arc linked together,
Like the fair and cloudy weather,
May we have. oh, let us pray,
Faith and patience for to-day. -idrasee.

A PRUDENT YANKEE CONSTABLE.

Mr.. Elijah Hitchcock WAS a Connect
icut constable, whose character was un-
der scrutiny. Deacon Solomon Rising
was inquired Of about him.
"Deacon Solomon Rising" said the
questioner, edo you think Mr.. Hitchcock
is an honest man %
Very promptly-"Oh, no, sir 4. Not
by any means"
"Wcll, do you think he is mean
man ?"
"Wcll, with regard to that" said the
deacon, a little more deliberately, al
may say that don't really think he is a
mean man; I've sometimes thought he
was what you might call keeriul-a
prudent man."
"What do you mean by a prudent
manl"
"Well, / mean this that one time he
had an execution of four dollars against
the old Widow Witter, back here, and
he went up to her house, and levied on
a flock Of ducks. He chased them ducks
one at a time round the house pooty
much all day and every time he catch
cd duck he'd set right down and ring
his neck and charged mileage; and his
milage mounted to more then the debt.
Nothing mean about it as ] know, but |
always thought after that Mr.. Hitchcock
was very prudent man."

b6y-Thc first carriage said to be built
in America was made in Dorchester,
Massachusetts,, by man named White,
for a private gentleman in Boston. 1t
was copied from an English chariot,
though made much lighter, and was
a credit to its maker. II was, however,
found, that from the difficulty Of pro-
curingmaterial, and high wages, it was
expedient and cheaper to order them
from England and France.

one occasion expressed the opinion very EN-.
phatically that every vote cast for Jacobs was
null and void. Speaker Sharpe has also ex-
pressed the same opinion over and over again,
and repeated it openly and conspicuously be.
fore the vote was taken to-day. There IS moth
ing Conkling desires so much as to be speedily
relieved from the dilemma in which he
now stands. He feels keenly the humiliation
of coming to Albany, week after week, to try
to lobby himself back to the United States
Senate. He has become convinced he cannot
be elected by this legislature. He is ashamed
to withdraw from the canvass and confess
himself beaten, and his last move to adjourn
the legislature without electing anybody, on
which his last hope rested, is sure to prove a
failure. Hence the scheme that was concocted
last evening, and which would have been car
ried out to-day had it not been for the timely
withdrawal of Jacobs. Had it succeeded
Conkling would have derived all the benefit Of
SO far as the vacancy is concerned
and saved himself another month of nervous
anxiety and labor with prospect of failure
in the end.

visiting physicians by him. The exhibition
made cost from $4,000 to $1,000. The new
firm have large capital, a thorough practical
as well as professional knowledge of the
wants of physicians and surgeons, which,
backed by strict integrity and determination
to deal literally, must result in placing the
new firm at the front rank of such establish
ments in the State.

A Deep Laid Scheme.

NEW YORK, June 22.-The Times Albany
special says: The withdrawal of Jacobs as a
candidate in the joint convention to-day was
an episode of more significance and import
ance than at first appeared. From facts that
come to light since adjournment of the joint
convention, there is little doubt..Jacob's with
drawal prevents the success of deep laid
scheme of Conkling and his friends to get him
out of the uncomfortable position he is in,
and to turn the election of his
very thing and only thing they now hope to
accomplish. They know perfectly well, as
everybody else knows, that if Wheeler had
been declared elected by ignoring the votes
cast for Jacobs, he never would have been
allowed to take his seat in the United States
Senate controlled by the Democrats. The
consequence would be that another election
would have been held by the next legislature.

The trial trip from st. Louis to st. Paul. of
the new packet, Gem City, of the st. Louis
and st. Paul line, with Commodore VIM. F.
Davidson, is attracting great attention all
along the upper river. The Gem City left st,
Louis at P. NJ. Tuesday, and she is due here,
IL NJ. Friday, giving her sixty.eight hours
for the run. The only trip ever made on the
upper Mississippi at ell comparing with this,
was that of the Hawkeye State, remembered by
residents along the river of nine and ten
years ago, which boat made the run from st.
Louis to st. Paul in seventy-two hours, an
achievement thought very remarkable at the
time. This time Commodore Davidson pro.
poses to eclipse with the Gem City by six
hours, and this, too, when making all land
ings, while the Hawkeye State made but a
few of the largest landings on her trip.
The following telegram received last even
ing by Capt. John Reaney from Keokuk shows
the progress being made by the Gem City:
KEoKUK, June %, 1851.
j. H. Reaney, st. Paul Gem City passed
here at 10 A. NJ; 200 passengers; Commodore
Davidson in command.
A. NJ. HUTCHINSON.
Keokuk is 20S miles from st. Louis, which
distance was made by the Gem City in eighteen
hours The distance from st. Louis to st.
Paul by the river is given at 800 miles. This
is at the rate of little more than eleven and a
half miles an hour, and would make her time
to st. Paul, if maintained, about seventy
hours, and bring her here not far from o'clock
to. morrow afternoon.

Desertina The sinkina Shin.

New YORK, June 22.-Tribune: The fail
ure of the Republican central committee to
hold meeting Tuesday night for want of a
quorum, caused discussion among the adher-
ents to the Conkling machine yesterday. This
organization has been for long time the
power which kept Gen. Arthur at the head of
the party in this city. It was also the chief
support of Senator Conkling in controlling
State conventions and in this way the party in
the State. The central committee is
made up of delegates elected
by the various Assembly districts
associations. When General Arthur was in
exclusive control of the custom house pat
ronage he managed to get his most trusted
followers in control of the majority of the
manifest that Conkling and Arthur cannot
control the next delegation from this city to
the State convention. Hence there is no longer
a doubt the party will be recognized.
There has been a growing demand for such ac-
ton. The loss to them of this city means the
loss of control of the State convention and
the next State committee. The machine men
yesterday admitted this would be the result,
and did not hesitate in expressing the belief it
would largely increase the party vote in the
State. 1t is also regarded as practical vote
of condemnation of the course of ex-Senators
Conkling and Platt, and may be, it is said, a
warning to some of the members of the legis-
lature from the city who still adhere to the
waning fortunes of Conkling.
SPECULATION AS TO TIE FITTING.
There is much speculation as to what the
trip of the cabinet members to Long Branch
means. The general idea is that something
important is up. Secretary Window and
Postmaster General James both told the West
ern Associated Press to-day there is nothing
of special interest in the move. Window is
no doubt going to consult with the President
in regard to giving out the report of the treas
ury Investigation committee, and if the Presi
dent SO advises he will probably do so. Secre
tary Blaine is not gong to Long Branch.
