Eggs as Food.

Eggs of various kinds are largely
used as food for mau and it is scarce
ly possible 10 exaggerate their value
in this capacity, so simple and con-
venient are they in their form, and
SO manifold may be their transforma-
tions. They are exceedingly deli
cious, highly nutritious aud easy of
digestion, and when the shell if in
cluded they may be said to contain
in themselves all that is required for
the constitution of the body. 1t has
beeu claimed for them that they may
be served in about six-hundred ways,
although it is generally found that
the more simply they are prepared
the more they are approved. AL
though other eggs than those of birds
are eaten-for instance, turtle eggs
it is generally agreed that the eggs
of the common fowl and of the plover
possess the richest aud sweetest flavor.
The eggs of ducks and geese are fire.
quently used in cookery, but they
are OF too course nature to be eaten
alone, The eggs of turkey and of
tile pea-hcn are highly esteemed for
solhe purposes. The weight of All
ordinary new-laid hens egg is from
one and half To two and halt
ounces avordupois, aud the quantity
of dry aud solid matter contained in
IL amounts to about two-hundred
grains. In one-hupdred parts, about
ten parts consists Of shell, sixty OF
white and thirty of yolk. The white
of the egg containsa larger portion
of water than the yolk. 1t contains
no fatty matter, but consists chiefly
of albumen in a dissolved state. All
the fatty matter Of the egg is accum-
ulated in the yolk which contains re-
latively smaller proportion of nj
trogenOus matter and larger pro-
portion of solid matter than the
white. Therefore, in an allmentary
point Of views, the white and yolk
differ considerably from each other,
the former being mainly a simple
solution of albumen, the latter being
a solution of a modified form of al,
bumen, together with a quantity Of
fat. Raw and lightly-boiled eggs
are easy of digestion. II is said that
raw eggs are more easily digested
than cooked ones; but this may be
doubted if the egg is not overlooked,
A hard-boiled egg presents a de-
cided resistance TO gastric solution,

A Note Of Warning to Suffering
Humanity.


We feel that we would be wanting
i'll the duty we owe to suffering hu-
manity if we did not sound a note of
warning in regard to the use OF Mer-
curry and other poisonous minerals
in the treatment of Blood and Skin
Diseases. If the reader could see The
horrible suffering, the awful wrecks
of human health and happiness,
shown by our correspondence with
those who have been dosed with
those mineral poisons, he would shud-
der with horror. Arsenic, Mercury,
Antimonv, and Iodide of Potassium
are some of the remedies most ordin-
arily used for these diseases, and they
are all POISON. DO not tdke these
poiSonS. They might dry up your
disease for few days, aud with it
you will have Mercurial Rheumatism,
which may bring you years of tor
ture. The Mercury seems to sink
into the bones and the Potash drives
the Poison into the system, only to
glulk here and attack the tender or
anst of the body, as the lungs, the
throat, the nasal organs and stomach.
Hundreds of people have been made
deaf, and great many blind, by the
use of Mercury and Potash. Beware
of Mercury aud Potash Mixtures
gotten up in imitation of our Specific.
A few grains of sugar of lead drop
ped into glass of these limitations
will cause the poisonous drugs TO fall
to the bottom, and shows the danger
Of useing them. Swift's Specific is
entirely vegetable, and is the best
tonic for delicate ladies and children
and old people in'the world.

ready mentioned. Some of the la
dies turned away from the place
without entering at all, rather than
have the discomfort of being in the
great crowd. American girls, natives
Of New Orleans, were there, of
course, and they had pre-elninently
the charm that belongs to Southern
women; but their beauty was the
beauty of the individual, and not like
that of the CreOles-the beauty of u
class. 1t is because Of their atlrac-
tions as class that the feminine Gre
Oles are famous. Any one of a hun
dred in the great assembly might
have been selected as type; and.
briefly, their characteristics are dark
brown or black hair, brown eyes,
intensely brilliant, clear, sufi, bright
complexion-at least i'll the Young
peoples and form which Thorwald-
sen would have chosen, of all others,
for his Venus. But this is not all.
They have voices that would make a
flute sound harse, with a slight ac-
cent something more than agreeable
to persons living farther North. Aud
in conduct, although as gentle as the
breeze from the gull, they have latent
spirits, which, when OCCASION re-
quires, transforms then into herOines.
They appeared like this to the strau-
ger at the reception that night, but
they are seen at their best in their
homes, for home means something TO
them like strong families ties.

A MISSOURI WONDER.
A Buried City Discovered.

ST. LOUIS, April S.-The city ol
Moberly, Mo-, is stirred up over the
discovery Of "a wonderful buried city
at the bottom of a coal shaft 800 feel
deep, which was being sunk near the
city. A hard and thick stratum of
lava, which arches in the buried city,
the streets Of which are regularly
laid out and inclosed by walls of stone,
which is cut and dressed in fairy good
although rude style of masonry. A
hall 30 by l0O feet was discov cred
wherein were stone benches and tools
of all descriptions for mechanical
service. Further search disclosed
statutes and images made OF com,

was found located in a wide court OF
street, and from il a stream ofperfect-
ly pure water flowing, which, upon
being tested, was found 10 be strong

most wonderful of all was lying be,

The Beautiful creoles.

New Orleans Letter to Baltimore American. ]
Before the Creole women all the
other attractions of the Crescent City
fade away. No better time than last
night, aud few better places than the
Washington Artillery Hall, could
have been chosen to view them at an
advantage. These are the women
who had caused duels, inspired poet
ry, elevated manners, made men hap
by OF miserable, and fixed for them
selves place in history. Many OF
their best, and all their most fashion
able representatives were there. They
waited in their carriages on side
streets until the beautiful pageant OF
Momus had passed, and then they pro-
ceeded to the hall, the nominal occa-
sion being the reception of Rex,
where people from every State in-the
Union, and from nearly every colln-
try under the sun, had come to see
them, They were all chaperoned, oil
course; for French and Spanish ideas
on the subject are firmly fixed here.
Over a thousand people stood in the
street to look at the ladies as they
arrived, and entered the hall. They
began to arrive about 8 o'clock, and
an hour later there was tremend-
uous jam Of people at the door, SO
that the ticket-takers were compelled
for a time, TO refuse admlttance to
some of the late arrivals. The capac-
ity of the hall for dancing is about
1000. but the number of people in the
place at one time was nearly 5000
making 1t impossible TO form sets,
But few of the guests had come to
dance. The native people came chief.
