The cynlc PHILOSOPHER.

In the May number of the new monthly
journal Congress" devoted to the arts of
civilization, Mrs. NJ. j. NJ Sweat, of this
city has an essay on "The Cynic Philoso-
piers. Mrs. Sweat says that ''the tendency
of the human mind to run into extremes is
fruitful of valuable results for the historian
and psychologist from a serious point of
view, while its withdrawal from the carica-
turist and satirist would deprive them
of much of the material which gives force to
their proofs and pungency to their ridicule.
The study of philosophy, however, would at
first sight appear to be an excellent safe
guard against this tendency, and to natural
ly produce mental and moral equilibrium.
But ON closer examination we discover that,
by strange irony of logic, it is the philoso-
pliers themselves who have rushed fastest
and farthest y ay on each side, from the
central pivot actually, and have fur
nished us VITA the widest theories, the
most antagonistic definitions, the most in
comprehensive distractions. The personal
object of the cynic was the attainment OF
virtue, and for that purpose the duty of the
cynic was to investigate it by continued self
denial; to shame men into it in any and
every way possible, scourging their vices
with a whip of scorpions and lay ing bear
their weakness without sympathy for suf-
fering or sorrow for shame, and it was the
element of infinching self denial, this en-
ergy of remuneration that made of cynicism
power in philosophy. A description of the
doctrines of these cynic philosophers fol-
lows and sketches of Antisthenes of Athens
and Dogenes given.

the WINTHROP
Goes Ashore on a Ledge at Cape
Porpoise.

The steamer Winthrop, Captain Bragg, OF
the Maine Steamship line between this city
and New York, had narrow escape from
being wrecked on her voyage to this city
early yesterday morning. The vessel went
ashore about twenty miles west of this city,
at Cape Porpoise, on what is known as "Old
Proprietor's LEDGE" and but for the most
favorable circumstances she would have
been total wre elk. Capt Bragg said con-
corning the accident: ut was very foggy,
one could see but short DISTANCE on account
of the heavy mist, and at lifetime when we
went ashore the engine was not working, but
we were drifting about three knots per hour.
Fortunately there was light sea, but there
was strong sea current bearing toward
the shore. 1t was ON account of this current
and the fog that we got so far off the course.
We were about twenty miles to the westward
of where we should have been. 1t was ten
minutes of two O'Clock, a. m, when we struck
the rocks, and as we went on at about half
tide we were able to back off at ten minutes
of ten o'clock without assistance, although
the towboat Warren and the cutter Dallas,
Capt Barr, besides numerous small boats,
came to help us.
The steamer lay in cradle of rock, so to
speak, her bow having gone between rocks
that could be seen through the water, stick
ing up on either side of the vessel. If there
had been heavy sea we surely must have
suffered severely; but as it was the vessel
was not damaged enough to speak OF, and
will make her usual voyage Saturday night.
The steamer did not make any water. and,
other than having little of her shoeing torn
off, do not think she was damaged any,
The vessel laid upright and easily and the
accident was really trivial"

withstanding this most satisfactory result of
the years work, the treasurer warns the
managers that she has 500 less to begin next
winters work than she had at the beginning
of this present season. The winter has been
long and severe, making the calls for work
for thirty one poor women SO pressing that
for many weeks double orders were given.
To do this, the managers have used nearly
half Of the little reserve fund which bad ac-
cumulated from the many donations which
were received during the first year of the So
ciety's work. However, this will not dis
courage those engaged in the cause, while
they are sure of few generous friends
who have always responded to their cry for
help. The managers wish to express their
thanks to Mr.. John K. Dewitt for the use of
the room, to Mr.. T. NJ Mcdonald, King &
Dexter, and the Gas Company for favors
conferred in their several departments, to
Mr.. Chas. Beals and Mr.. Batchelder for many
kindnesses, to the young ladies of various
churches for donations of candy and especi
ally to Mr.. G. M. Robinson for his great lib
eralty in furnishing ice cream during the
whole week.

HEALTHFUL BREAD.

In spite of all that has Teen said on the
subject, people will eat bread made from
flour from which all the bran has been re-
moved. Nearly all the phosphates, the most
valuable elements for the nutrition of the
nerves and bones, are thus removed, and it
is also recognized fact amongst physicians
that great injury results in consequence
ANY prepalations which will replace these
valuable elements are certain to be of great
benefit to those who use them, compensating
as they do, to great extent. for the absence
of the bran. A number of years ago Prof.
Horsford, of Cambridge, suggested the use
of baking preparation for raising bread,
biscuit. etc., which would supply the requi-
site phosphates. thereby introducing these
necessary elements into the food without
cost or trouble. After years of experiment
and labor he succeeded in producing the de-
sired preparation, and, If report be true, he
has succeeded wonderfully well in selling it.
The preparation consists of an acid phos-
phate of lime which combined with bi-car-
Donate of soda in raising bread, biscuit, ETC.,
leaves in the product the very phosphates re-
quired by the system, and which are essen
tial to good health. The idea was an in
genious and valuable one and needs only to
be thoroughly understood to be fully appre-
ciated .
