Bsunders of the census.

1t is estimated that the work ofseveral
of the divisions of the census office WAS so
imperfectly done that some Of il has been

sum it up and make totals, and nov near
IL as much again 10 60 over il hep Second

and The EDUCATIONAL divisions are also
very much behindhand. Added to this is
the fact that but little confidence is given
10 the figures given out by the wealth,
debt and taxation divisions by financial
men, the debt statement of the southern

said that though corrections were asked

Mr.. Carlisle made he reply and said

New and Stale Bread.

The nature of the difference between
new and stale bread IL lar from being
known. 1t is only lately that the cele-
brated French chemist, Boussingault,
instituted an inquiry into it, from which
it results that the difference is not the
consequence of desiccation, but solely OF
the cooling of the bread. If we take
fresh bread into the cellar or In any
place where 1t cannot dry, the inner part
of the loaf, it is true, is found to lie
GRUMPY, but the crust has become soft
and Is no longer brittle. If stale bread
is taken back into the oven again il as
sumes all the qualities Of fresh baked
bread, although in the hot oven IL must
undoubtedly hive lost part Of its mois-
ture. NJ. Boussingault has made fresh
loaf of bread the subject of minute in
vestigation, and the results are anything
but uninterest.ng. New bread, in its
smallest parts, is so soft, ciammy, flexible
and glutinous, Gn consequence of the
starch during the process OF fermentlng
and baking being changed into mucilagin-
ous dextrine) that by mastcation 1t Is
with greater difficulty separated and
reduced TO smaller pieces, and In its
smallest parts is less under the influence
of the saliva and digestive juices. 1t
consequently forms itself into hard balls
by careless and hasty mastication and
deglutitioa, becomes coated over by
saliva and slime, and in this state enters
the stomach. The gastric juice being
unable to penetrate such hard masses,
and being scarcely able even to act upon
the surface of them, they frequently re-
main in the stomach unchanged, and,
like foreign bodies, irlitate and incom-
mode it, inducing every species of suffer
ing-oppression 81 the stomach, pain in
the chest, disturbed circulation of tho
blood, congestions and pains in the head,
irritation of the brain, and inflammation,
apopleptic attacks, cranp and delirium.

CHARCOAL AS MANURE.
charcoal Is nearly pure carbon, q large
constituent Of all vegetation, still it is
not claimed that this substance furnishes
direct food to plants. Its action is thus
described by Liebig Plants thrive in
powdered charcoal, and may be brought
to blossom and bear fruit if exposed TO
the influence Of rain and atmosphere
Charcoal is the most unchnngeable sub
stance known. Ir may be kept for cent
uries without change. 1t possesses the
power OF condensing gases within its
pores, and particularly earbonic acid;
and it is by virtue of this power ct the
roots of plants are supplied with char
coal as is humus, with an atmosphere
of carbonic acid, whicS is renewed as
quickly as it Is distracted. Plants do
not, however, attain maturity, under or
binary circumstances, IN charcoal pow
der, unless moistened with rain or rain
water Rain-water contains one of the
essentials of vegetable life, compound
of nitrogen, the exclusion of which en-
tirely deprives hurnus and charcoal OF
their influence upon vegetation"
