Tnt RCoGNIrTON QrstoN I~ A Nw LIGnT. The London &andard has an editorial on. the secor4 inauguration- of 'Lincoln. It says: Mr. Lincoln, in- 1861, could claim, with some show of reason, to be the President of' the whole thirty-four states ; for, though fifteen of them had unanimously and pereuipto!ily rejected hiln, they had taken part in the election which~ led to his triumph. Mr. ;Lincoln, 1865, is manifestly the President on1Y of the North. Not only hive the eleven Confederate States taken rio part whaeier in the eleetion, but they have been ex eluded from it by formal and'express legislation The pseudo government of Lonisiar., and T-nnessee chose delegates to cast the vote of th-se States; and that vote has been rejected by the Congress at Washlington. It is formally declared that the eleven States which form the Confederacy are out of the Ur ' The pozi tion of the Federal Go0ernent th-as material lV changed. * To treat Mr. tineoIn as Pireidont over the Southern States, in virt,.e of the receti election, is to commit ourselyes to a *hole ti-sue of ubsurd ties ; if those States are portions of the- Union, he has not been elected at ali i for that can be no election from which one-third of the con'stitent bod- is e\cluded. If they are portions of the Union, Congress could have no F-ght to exclude or disppnse with their votee. Is they no longer belong to the Union, then Mr: Liinoln ias no authoriEy over them, and his present enterprise is an attempt to conquer an hide'pnd,.. nat.o , not to subdue rebels. In a word, ither the election is valid, in which case the 'eeven Confeder-'te States are not menmbers of the Union, or it is invalid, and the Union has no goyernincat iabatever. If Mr. Lineo!n be lawiu& P'esidentof the Union, the seces-ion of the Soutir is a legal fact, and Mr. Davis is lgally President of the Co;federatf Statel.

"I wish that you have had a Zood dinner, is by far the most u9nal salptation a'ter dinner, instead of "good afternoon." If they n,vet you bere dinner, aft hour or two, thie Slutation is usually, "I wish you may have a good dinner." This is-everi common among buisness men. We h:ge seen gentlemen enter a counting-house full of clerks, silent and bwsy at their desks, , and excite themr all by %isDing they may have a good dinner, in. stead ofsimply saying, "god morning." In the 4)etter circles it is- not at aIN unc!omnion for the dinner party, the repast being ended, to rise, shake hands all rouni ,and expreis the wish to each other that no ill cifects may b. experigeed from the dirfner. The parting sautation at night is infinitely more expres. sive thain opr "good niightr." The Germans sav. "yyou sl1eep well, "A pleasant repose,' "Pleasant dreams." Their "good bye" is al watys a stron;~ farewell: "Leben sie whoiu (:ry you live w;ell).

A Wen~n in Er-M1!a han iei A-e &i et [From the Pe.erslmrg Express.] The Secret of Military Success. History proves the truth of the Bible, that the battle is not always to the strong. From the earliest records of listory to the present day, the smaller number .has won at least three battles out of fire. Sudcess, in, war, de p'ends on efficient organiza.tion, steady discip line, courage and enddrance. 'Few men have ever possessed the capacity to esta'blish those things in a large army. The Roman Legiqn numbered 8,000 men --a Consular .armDf about .000, With this force they conquered the world. A French corps d'a,mee composes 20,000 men. Napoleori was in the habit of saying he could not find a. marshal who could handle trat number. The Athenian'_, with 10,000 men, defeated the Persians at Marathon, with 300,000 men, and with less than three times that numbe: won the. battles of Plates and Salamis, and drove five millions of invAder:from their soil. With 500 men, the Swisg at. orgarteen, defeated 20,000 A ustrians. , With an .equally disproportionate force they fought sixty pitched battles and maintained their independence. Bruce defeated Edward of England with his trained army of' 100,000, at Bannockburn, with 30,000 half-armed Highlanders. The Prince of Orange, at the head of seve ral small provinces of Holland, not one of them larger than a Virginia county,. maintained their independence against the mnost powerful monarch - in Europe, and efeated armies three times as numerous as Fis. own. and com manded by John, of Austra, and Aleiander Farnese, the greatest military leaders of the age. Levden withstocd the whole power of Spain, at that time the most warlike nation in Eu rope. Maximilian. of Germany, Louis the X ,f T0FranCe, and Pope Julius If. f6rmed the infamous league of Canbray, for the de struction of Venice. With heroic resolve she entered the field. Superior forte might have overpowered her, but God is ever on the side of the right. Discord and dissension broke out amon- her enenies. Their armies were de feated,and Venice was preserved. It will ever be so. The success of s gallant struggle on the side of righ tai djustice againmst wrong and oppression, is inevitable. A viitu ous and ,rave people in a good cause have never failed. If we are right and do not falter wt must succeed. Grart opened his grand campaign with 250,00 men. Has Richmond fallen ? Has Petersburg ? The fact is, these hilf million armies are simply humbugs, and are 4most always the victims, if not of cannon, of pesti ler.ce, famine and mutiny. Brave. men, well organized, well equipped, are the sirews, tho life, the soul of an a-my. Money cannot buv t11. They fight, when they fight at rll . principle.

FooD .for WAK SToMnAC.s.-Tn the Me moiriet Count Segur, vol. I, page 16, there is the following anecdnte: My mother (the Countess vle Segur) being asked. by Voltaire 1 respecting her healtlr, told him that the most painful'feelintg she had arose from the decay of het stomach, and the ditticulty of finding~ any kind of aliment thaut it could. bear. Vol taire, by way of ponsolaition, assured her thA he was once for niearlyv a y'ear in the same state, and believed to be i:zurable, but that, nev*erthC,ess, a very simple remedy had re stored h im. It consisted in taking no other nourishment than yo'lks of egg, beaten up with th. flour of potatoes and water. -Though this, circumnstance took place as far back as fifty years ago, and respected so extraordinary a persogge as Voltaire, it is astonishing howt little it fs known, and how rarely the remedy Ihas been psactised- Its efficac-y, however, in case of debilitf, cannot be questioned. and the Ifollowing is the mode of prepar-ing th'is valna ble articia of food., as reconunended by Sir John Siniclai,: Receipt-Beat uo.an egg in a bowl, and then add sixz tablespoon-fuls of cold water, mixing the wholo ,well together; then add two table-spoonfuls of the farina of potatoes, to be n.ixed thoroughly witb the liquor in the bow]. Th:n pour ,in as. much boiling water as will zonvert the whole into jelly, and mix it well. It may be taken either alone, or with the ad'dition of a little milk and roist or best sugar. not, *only for breakfast, but in eases of great stomnachc debility, or in consump tive disorders, at the other meals. The dish is eght, easily.digested, extremely whole some ar,d nonrishing. Bread or biscuit my be taken with it as the stomach gets stronger.

They do not chew, but put the tobacco in tl*r mouths, keep it there constantly, except, w en eating, and instead of chewing, roll it about with their tongue and suck it. Only imnagine yourself about to salute the rich red lips of a magnificent little Hebe, arrayed in satin and flushing with diamonds; she puts you back with one delicate hand, while with the fair taper fingers of the other she draws forth fro n her mouth a brownish black roll of tobacco,.quite two inches long looking like a monster grub, and depQsiting the savory mpr sal onthe-rim of your sombrero, puts qp her face, and is ready for your salute. I hiii sometimes seen an over-delicate foreigner turn with a shudder of loathing urgder such circum stance, and get the cpithet.el spo (the sav age) applied to him by the offended beauty for this sensitiEe squeamishness. Hpwever ond soon gets used to this in Paraguay, where yot are, perforce of fashion, obliged to kiss every lady you are introduced to; and one half yoii meet are really tempting enough to render you careless of consequences; you would sip the dew of the proffered lips in the face of a to. bacco battery ; even the double-distilled hon e3 dew of Old Virginia. In Missouri, the citizens of which have suf. fered -more terribly from fiendish barbarity than any other in the Confederacy, more than usual quiet prevails. The Yankee troops haTs gune, and the sad sufferers are allowed a little: respite, the hours of which will be made the more bitter by the unavoidable contemplation uf their desolation and misery. Spots once: occupied by flourishing villages are now a blackened waste and as silent as the grave. 1a numerous instancesthe yankees not only -burn ed homesteads, but.shot toe inmates, both male and female, and made their home their funeral pyre. One instance is recorded in which A father was shot and scalped, the mother and li,te son shot down, ansd al, with a sick daughter, who was unable to move were burn ed up in their dwelling. The Yankee officers made sport for themselves by walking through a t:wn at night. and %.hen they saw a family grathered rouid the fireside would fire their pictols through the' window in the, group. Such has been the cbaracter of the Federal troops who have held sway in Missouri. A RE[ARKABLE WOMAN.-We wish it dis tinctly understood that in publishing we do'not iouch for the"Veracity of the following remark able incident. An exchange paper gives this: account -of an eccentric lady still at large. in the city in which the incident is said to bave occurred : "A lady entred one of the cars yesterday, and foundvery scat taken. A gentleman iose and invited her to accept the seat he had va cated. She did so, politely thanking him for; his kindness. The lady wore a dark delain dres., plain shawl, and an ordinary tan color ed straw hat. She had a fair complexion, smi'ing countenance, keen black'eyes, and an. expression .that indicated a good degree of intelligence. Her appearance was neat and tidy', hpr face was free from dirt and paint, iei- hair was smoothly conibed, without .curls or friz zles, or beau catchers. There was nothing in' the appearance or deportment of this individ. .ual that would attract special attention, or lead any one to suspect that.sbe was 'hot in sound mind, save the fact that she bowed po lit ely find thanked the gentleman ,who gave her his seat. This eccentricity is sufficient to show that the lady is not in sound mind, and' she ought not. to be at large." A t the ball at th~e English Embassy in Paif, Madamie Rimsky Korsakow adopted the em blems of the peacock. Her dress was of white' tulle; embroidered-all over with Argus eyes- .
