New and stale Bread.

The famous LeipsIc physician, Pro lessor Reclam, III late number of the Gesundheit, has venturCd tO say a good word on behalf of newly baked bread. The majority of the old people, dys- ,eptlcs and dhypOchondriacs, he ObSery es, say that they can only eat stale bread they find new bread too indigestiblt.
 The virtue, he tells them, Is not in the staleness of the bread. but n the care and thOrOughness with which they are compelled to mastlc2te 1t, on account of i.s hardness. The tongue not only deceives the human race in speaking, say the learned physician; It K a great decelveT m eating. As soon as the tongue perceives that any mOrsel in OHr mouth IS soft and yielding, we are per suaded that 1t may safely be swallowed. No time or labor IS spent upon its mas tlcatiOn. Hence SO many people de- clare that sauerkraut, soft cakes, pate de foie gras, eel, and other favorite delicacies of the TeutOn, do not agree with them. The Professor declares that none of these are actually indigestible ID themselves. As with new bread, 1t IS the ease with which they are swallowed which makes them indigesti- ble.
 Stale bread and hard biscuit, on the other hand, are not of themselves In- herently SO very dizestble; but they give the eater SO much trouble to soften them, that they are not swallowed until they have been reduced into a it con-' dltion for that process. Hence thu stomach has not the trouble with then which 1t almost invariably has with dc softer and more dehcate food which has never received more than two or shree turns with the teeth. Rapid eating and insufficient chewing are the two worst foes of the majority of dyspephcs and ypOchOndrjacs, says our authority, and he advises such persOus fo transfer to their own carelessuess and idleness nine- teuths of the blame which they are m the habit of laying upon their food or upon inch 1ooks--LOndOn Globe.

Atmospheric Dust. Everyone is aware that the atmosphere holds quan- titles Of dust In susL enslOn. The dust betrays its presence by settling upon our clothes, furniture and other objects; but on account or the minuteness Of its particles It cannot be seen as It floats ID the air, except under the illumination Of a strong hght, as ID the case Of sun beam shining m a dark room. Besides the grains of dust which may be seen In this manner. tuere are others which can be perceived only through the micro scope, and others smaller still, little nothings like neOulUsitIes in the sky, which seem to become more numerous as they are sought for with more power ful instrument. These bIts of dust, lifted mp are carried mther and thither by the atmospheric current, must not be overlooked. for theyplav a part Of con- siderable importance ID terrestrla economy and glve rise to real geOlogica! formations. Clouds of impalpable dust, . falling from the ar in showers of con siderable abundance. are not uncommon i'm some countries, and have been noticed m periods of history. Slower of dust, both wet and dry, are quite ire quentin the Cape de Verde Islands, and are called "red fogs' by the sailors. Thcy are also common in SicIly and Italy, and occur so often In some parts of Chlua as scarcely to attract remark. A shower of very fine dust which fell ID southern France iu October, lSii, was found by the analysis of M. Dumas and the microscopic tests apphed by NJ. Ehreuburg to be composed of the fine sands of Guiana, and to contain the characteristic diatoms and microscopic shells of South America.

In extraordinary occurrence ls chrOu- icled as having taken place ID prayei meeting in Richmond, Va. But for the well known veracity of the sOurc, whence the report comes IL might b, supposed tO be story set on 10 { b. mischievous small boys. but as the Re lEluus Herald gives tt for fact, lt is entitled to belief: At the Pine street Baptist church prayer meeting, few evenings ago, while deacon was lead ing the deyouOus of the congregation, a hornet worked its way up hIs pantaiuOus and stung him five tines. The deacon e prayer was shorter than usual, and ht took no further part in the meeting.
 The wonderful perslstency ut that deacon m continuing Co pray while the hornet. having s;ung hIm nee, kept Ol stinriuc him four times more, shows a remarkable degree of perseverance combined with meekness. Most human beings would have instantly brought down the palm of the hand on the place where the hornet was attending tC business. and that with such Q mighty whack that the creature would nevel have stung any more deacOns. lt ]. interesting to know that this deacoT took no further part in the prayer meeting. < me men are so fond o makirg speeches in prayer meeting that after being stung four or five times by hornets they would rise to favor tbei brethren with a few bits of experieDc. concerning tbe same. Possibly tht stinyinc of this Richmond deacon h, the hornet was a judgment CD him 10. having prayed too long.

Discovery Of Diamonds in Brazil.

Often. down to l729. the gold hunters had noticed in the bottoms of the bowls in which they washed the river sands little bright crl stals. to which lhey at tached no value. 1 he brilllaucy of these crystals, their hardness and their regu lar form, as II shaped by the hand, ad indeed, attracted the attention of th, miners, and many had saved them t, use as counters in play; but gold al0n, had any value n the eyes Ot these dd- yeuturers. At this epoch, according tC the least uncertain tradition, a monk who had taken pat in the search for diamonds in lndIa, recognized the nature of these counters. He told hIs discovery to a certain Bernardo de Fon- ssca Lobo, who made 1t known in hi, name to the Portuguese Government The King immediately took possession of all the lands where the Preseuce Oi diamonds had been recognized, auO where it could be suspected. Bernardo received as his reward the title of Royal Notary and the command of tn, militia of the most important city Oi the region. The name of [ e monk wa> forgotten. I do not believe that The name Of either could have been popular at Ninas, for their discovery, which threw hundreds of millions into th' treasury of the Kings of Portugal, wa the origin of one of the most despotic rul that any country ever had to er- dure. The first diamonds were found in the sands of the brooks; and these sands-0-, to use thr Portuguese ex pressiou, which has passed into nearly all languages, casalhos-still constitute the beds that are principally worked But beds of an entirely different nature, situated like mines of metals, In tLe midst of the strata, and of correspond ing depth, have been brought to notice in later years.-i Populat Science Month ly

TIE reports Of the Indian deprela- tions near the Mexican line have been greatly exaggerated III every respect. From parties who reside near the bor- der We learn that all the trouble arose through the Apaches making a raid on a Mexican settiementIn Sonora, where they stole band of horses. The Mcxi- cans, to the number of perhaps thirty, pursued che hostiles and overlook them about sixteen miles south of the line, when fight ensued and the Mexicans recovered a portion of their lost stock. Atno time were the Indians any nearer Arizona than where the skirmish took place.
