The Use Of Salt.

Ne have received from n correspond
ent 4 letter making some inquiries into
the Use of salt. and we are given to I'M
d%erslanl that among other fOll.eS If the
day some indiscreet persons are object
ing to the use of salt and propose to dc
without it. Nothing could be more ar
surd. Common salt is the most wide
distributed substance in the body: it ex.
lists in every flu Il and in every solid:
and not only is everywhere present. but
in almost every part it constitutes the
largest portion OF the ash when any
tissue is burnt. In particular it is a
constant constituent of the blood, and
it maintains in it n proportion that is
almost wholly Independent Of the guam
tity that is consumed with the food.
The blood will take up so much
and no more, however much we
NAV take with our food; and. on the
other hand, if none be given. the blood
parts with its natural quantity slowly
and unwillingly. Under ordinary cir
cumstances Il healthy man loses daily
about twelve grains by one channel or
the other. and, if he is to maintain his
health, that quantity is to be intro
duced. Common salt is of immense i'm
portance in the processes ministering
to the nutrition of the body. for not
only is it :he chief salt in the gastric
Juice. and essential for the formation
of bile, and may hence be reasonably
regarded as of high value in digestion,
but it is an important agent in promOt-
ing the processes of diffusion. and there.
fore of absorption. Direct ex.
pertinent has shown that it pro-
notes the decomposition of the
albumen in the body, acting
probably by increasing the activity OF
the transmission of fluids from cell to
cell. Nothing can demonstrate its val.
Tie better than the fact that if albumen
without salt is introduced into the in.
testines of an animal, no portion of it
is absorbed, while it all quickly disap.
pears if salt be added. If any further
evidence were required it could be
found in the powerful instinct which
impels animals to obtain salt. Buf.
falOes will travel for miles to reach q
..salt lick; and the value of salt in i'm
proving the nutrition and the aspect Of
horses and cattle is we'll known to
every farmer.
The conclusion, therefore. is obvious
that salt, being wholesome, and. in
deed, necessary. should be taken in
moderate quantities, and that Austen
ton from it is likely to be injurious

for he has been in 4 wild part of the

to take in to dinner, Mr.. Massey. What
sort of young ladies do you like?"
Il shall be sure to like any young
lady you may choose for me-" replied
Philip, with a sudden flush and a sud
den spasm of pain at his heart; but he
found that this pain was still quite With
in his control. He could bear it with.
out any contortiOns of c~Ountenance, and
even while it was gnawing most tiercely
could smile and talk a If at peace and
charity with all men.
Then he vas taken upstairs and left
to dress, which operation he hurried
Yer as rapidly as possible, dreading
every five minutes alone with himself
and that specter which wa ready to
spring out upon him in the first un-
guarded moment.
Next came dinner, and the pleasant,
sociable evening, during which Philip.
to his great surprise. found himself
quite a lion in a small way. and had
enough to do in answering the in
Vulnerable questions put to him by two
very engaging young ladies. who pro-
fessed to take a great interest in China
and all pertaining to it, but whose chief
anxiety appeared to be to learn what
specimens of pottery or other curiOsities
he had brought with him from tho
Celestial Land.
Il like your Mr.. Massey, Dick"
said Lady Elizabeth, in 4 moments
aside with her husband. HE has one
of the best faces l yer saw, as we'll as
one of the handsomest."
"Yes; I'm glad you like him, but l
think his manner is rather odd some
times. Don't you observe how every
now and then he almost starts. and
looks suddenly around. rs fits diff
cult to describe the expression. And he
has been gazing intently at Miss Wood

hearing a word she said"
"Oh, yes, l have noticed it. But
didn't you say he had only arrived at

him off herr. when l dare say he would
much rather be somewhere else, or with
some one else"
True! never thought of that. 1t
is likely enough"
"And yet it is not a year since you
would have said it was very hard to be
dragged off somewhere else. when you
might have gone to Clevely Park" re-
tOrted Lady Elizabeth. maliciOusly.
The evening came to an end very
soon. rs it seemed to Philip. and when
the party had dispersed. and the others
retired. ne was naturally obliged to do
the same, though he fingered as long as
he could. accepted his hosts invitation
to come and have n cigar in the smok-
ing-rOom, and so on, so that it was past
midnight when he at last found himself
alone in his room.

Grand Opera.

"tather," asked a young man OF
his cynical parent, "what is grand
opera?"
Il don't know"
"Why are some operas called grand.
while others are not so designated? 1t
seems to me that il a composer could
write grand opera he would never write
any other kind"
We'll, you see it's only by experiment
that a composer determine whether
or not an opera is grand. If. upon first
production. the music is beyond the
abilities Of the singers and bores the au-
dience, it is grand. The weary yawu
of a man does more, my son, to deter
mine the value of an opera than the
highest recommendation from q profess
sional critic of music. If, though. the
singer can climb to the summit OF
emergency, and if the audience il
pleased, the opera is not grand and the
composer goes away dissatisfied, disap-
pointed and discOnsolate. Sometimes
the composer can correct the mistake
brought to light on the proof-sheet Of
first production. On one occasion 3
great composer produced an opera
which he hoped would be grand, but
there was so much music in il, the sing
ers did so well, and the audience went
into such fits of rapture and spasms Of
enjoyment. that the composer saw his
work doomed to a hayward life of in.
feriOr appreciation. After the perform.
C he took the opera and sat up all

ing in rasp flats and ~guinea-hen sharps.
He went with high hope the next night
to get a revise. The audience became

HURRAH FOR MAINE!
OVER $4,000 MAJORITY.

The result of the election in Maine
last Monday was II victory for the Re-
publicans of greater magnitude than
the most sanguine of them had dared
to expect. The voting for Representa-
tives IN Congress results in the election
of the four Republican candidates by
handsome majorities. 1t is expected
that the Senate will be solidly Repub-
lican, and comparatively few Demo
Gratis have been elected to the House.
The Prohibitory Constitutional a.
mendment was adopted by an inl-
mense majority.
