Real Presence by Rev. @. LAHORE,
an eloquent and forcible preacher.
Our local packet boats have, all Of
them, been taking live stock and other
property out of the water and putting
them on dry land, also removing peo-
pie and plumber, free Of any charge.
This has been going on among them
for several weeks past. and they have
not made any fuss over 1t.
1t is claimed that nearly half a mill
len in actual money has been lost here
in future deals" and that the bulk of
it was sent to Liverpool. 1t is GER
tain that a full cent per lb must be
added to present prices before some of
the investors can get out even. Many
refuse to believe that our people have
lost as much as is mentioned, but they
have lost heavily. Some put up their
last penny, never to see it more.
The thunder storm we enjoyed last
night was equally liberal in its noisy
and spectacular features at Cairo,
Nashville and the intervening country.
Cairo had II inches Of rain last night,
while Little Rock had 81 inches,
Nashville l inch, Chattanooga and
Vicksburg half an inch, and it was
still raining at sunrise at nearly all Of
the points named. also at Louisville.
General rains fell yesterday in the
Northwest and the upper lake region
also throughout the Gulf States and
along the South Atlantic coost.
The suit of Ben T. Reeves against
P. Tracy for damages upon a claim for
false Imprisonment, terminated yes
terday by the jury finding a verdict of
one dollar for the plaintiff. 1t is I'M
derstood to have been what is called a
compromise verdict, several Of the
jury being in favor of no damages, and
others wanting more than several dol
lars. According to tn law, a verdict
OF five dollars or MOI is necessary to
make a defendant in a damage suit
responsible for damages, so General
Peter gets off easier than the jury ex-
pected him to.

HING at Pine RInG:

Whit Brown, cOlored, aged thirty
six years, formerly of Randolph, Tenn,
where his mother now lives, and a
barber by trade, was hanged near
Pine Bluff last Friday. He killed
Robert Yonley, a good citizen, in
August last, of Woodson, Ark. The
murdered mar was tipsy and had
some $500 on his person which he
recklessly exhibited. Brown, with a
darby named Scott, decoyed Yonley to
a quiet retreat, engaged him in a game
at cards, and Brown crushed his skull
with a piece of iron by slipping up
behind and hitting hin, when occu-
pied over the cards with Scott. The
body was dragged to the river and
cast in, with a stone tied to
it. The brutal deed was wit.
messed by a colored boy named
Ben Reynolds, and he gave the nee
essary evidence to secure a conviction.
Bob learned his trade Of a barber in
this city, and he DECLARED himself in
nocent to the last, made peace with
his God, and left the world saying he
loved everyone in it, ever those who
had perjured themselves by swearing
his life away. There was not the
slightest doubt entertained but that

0OId MAN in 1ho NIriGv

Captain w. P. Hall is with us
again. The LEDGER always gives him
a hearty welcome, and he usually calls
at our sanctum to chat awhile and get
a bundle of exchanges. He has been
travelling for the Davenport Academy
of Natural Sciences for years, collect
ing archaeological specimens from
mounds, and tracking the courses, the
advents and exits Of the first settlers
of this country. When he speaks Of
the first settlers, there is a far off look
in his eye as though he saw races and
peoples long since turned to dust, and
his face lights right up with a glow of
antiquarian inspiration. he seems
to move and have his being, and talk
with the people hat thickly
populated the Mississippi valley
long before the Indians built
their wigwams = centuries before
the times of La Sale, De Soto, Colum-
bus, William the .Conqueror, or the
old Morse Kings. He considers He
rodotus a modern chronicler, Damas-
Gus a new town, Babylon and Nineveh,
ThebeS aud Palmyra and Troy as
places of yesterday. The grizzly old
man lives and delves in the past. Some
where in his marvellous travels over
different continents, he seems to have
discovered and drank deep at the
tabled fountain of youth, and renewed
the best days of his early manhood.
He has strange theories. He talks
about the first settlers as descendants
of Jews, Egyptians, Nubians and As
syrians, as though he knew them per.
sonally, could understand their
speech and had come over with them
in some early Phenecian ship or an
cient Mayfower bent on discovery or
conquest. How old he really is it
would be hazardous to even conjec-
ture, but as he sowed the first acre of
wheat in Iowa aud brought the first
hatboat from that State to st. Louis,
" a
it is fair to presume that he has been
in the world far beyond the average
age of ordinary, active working men.
The life he leads seems to agree
with him as water, does with the am
phibia. In his little skif he has trav-
eled over $4,000 miles. 1t is moored
just above the Gayoso 0ilworks, and
to-day he ~is'packing up 143 interesting
specimens of ancient pottery dug from
Arkansaw mounds for shipment to the
academy at Davenport. High water
caused him to suspend digging and
come over to this side. He will be here
some days, and expressed a willingness
yesterday to deliver a free lecture in
regard ito his work and theories if
somebody would procure a hall for
the purpose. Some citizens in our
midst take an interest in such matters
and such an entertainment would from
its very novelty draw a crowd. Any
suggestion on the subject sent to The
LEDGER Office will receive attention.

officers, on their usual rounds, are
known to have run square into each

THE VALUE OF FISH FOOD.

Again and again have we drawn atten-
tion to the value of fish as food. We
have done this not by the false method of
giving out of the way recipes for dishes
which nobody makes, but we have reasoned
on the value of the peculiar combination of
chemical elements which compose the fish.
The fish gives of its kind much more va.
riety than cattle. We have beef, mutton,
veal and pork, and there the variety ends ;
but OF fish many kinds are daily presented
to us and we can choose among different
favors what we prefer. For variety fish
food carries away the palm over meat,
poultry and game.
To the epicureaD, or him who prizes the
different flavor OF foods, fish is of peculiar
value for this reason. But putting this
aside, Professor Atwater, of the Wesleyan
University, Middleton, Conn, has given
us the value of fish food as nutritive ma.
terlal, maintaining that the same money
spent on certain kinds OF fish as on meat,
we may often get more nutrition from the
fish than the meat. The value of food
is mostly reckoned by its possessing in its
combination certain amount of what is
called nitrogenous substance. We have
again and again explained in Food and
Health what this means; /; we repeat that
gases, metals and earths, with carbon,
make up in various combinations our own
body, and all other animal and vegetable
formations, and that naturally that food
nourishes us best which mostly replaces
the matter we lose daily in various ways.
That formation which contains the gas
nitrogen nourishes us best, because this
gas is the one without which animal sub.
stance cannot be formed. The foundation
of nutrition is therefore nitrogenous sub
stance. To Judge the nutritive value of
animal foods Professor Atwater fixes on
Beef" and its measure of nutrition as
100. Taking beef as 100, we by it gradu-
ate other food substances, and so gain an
insight into the comparative value of
foods.
Now, if man or woman with certain
income knew that for 81 they can buy
double or one third more nutrition in one
substance than in another, would it not ap-
pear foolishness in them to waste their
means about substances that give less value
for the money? Is it not important that
we should know how best to spend our
means? There are but few people who can
despise this knowledge. And yet people
prefer to spend with moderate means
money on things that cannot give them
back their real value.
Taking, then, beef as 100, Professor At
water has, by chemical xperiments of fish
without bone and va 'e, compiled the FOL-
lowing table OF the value of fish food, of
which we give but an abstract
