WHAT TV? EAT. Some of the Methods of Adulterating Bread. Xew York Evening Post. It has lone been believedjby the pub? lic that nearly every species of food re? quiring any process of manufacture or refining in its preparation for use is more or less adulterated. Almost any house wife will declare her belief amounting in her own mind to positive certainty?that flour, bread, sugar, tea, coffee, vinegar, butter, canned goods and many other articles, are adulterated; but, as she assumes that all brands and makes are equally impure, she does not trouble herself much about it until some special investigation shows actual danger in the use of certain adulterants. Among ot her things, baker's bread is generally bur? dened with a very bad uame. It is well known that both organic and inorganic substances can be, and often have been, used in making bread. The organic adulterants are usually barley, rye, pota? to and corn flour. These can generally be detected uuder a microscope. While they are undoubtedly adulterations, they are not at all hurtful to the stomach or the blood, and their use is only an ac; of commercial dishonesty. The inorganic ' adulterations are alum, sulphate of cop? per, bone asbes, bone dust, white clay, carbonate of magnesia, chalk, gypsum, sulphate of zinc and an excessive amount of water. Some of these are used to give whiteuess and lightness to the bread, while others simply take the place of flourl Nearly all of them have a dele? terious effect upon the stomach wheu taken internally, and some of them may be regarded a positive poisons. PLEASE, SIR, ONLY A LITTLE ALUM. In European and other countries where flour is dear, all of these adulterations have been used. Copper sulphate is available in the minutest quantities ocly. One part in eighteen hundred is the lar? gest quantity that can be used without destroying the lightness of the bread. The object desired is to make the bread white, using a very poor flour. To thoroughly mix the flour and sulphate in proper proportion requires such great care as to make the procces too expeusive in this country, where flour is cheap. It is a very dangerous method of whiteniug bread, however, as the presence of the copper can be detected only with great difficulty. There are frequent arrests and convictions in Europe for using chalk, white, clay, gypsum and alum in making bread. In America the use of alum has been regarded as almost universal for the purpose of producing a very white bread from inferior flour. It is well known that alum is a constituent of several bak? ing powders having a large sale, and people have come to regard alum as not only a necessary ingredient of bakers' bread, but also as one not very objection? able. This view is wholly erroneous. Alum, the oxide of alumna, is a power? ful astringent salt. As found in the bread after baking, its active principle remains in such a condition as to be ea? sily dissolvable in the gastric juice after having entered the stomach. When taken internally it produces dyspepsia, constipation, griping, and even, in suffi? cient quantities, vomiting and inflamma? tion of the gastro enteric musus. Du? mas says: "It is to be feared that this salt exerts a deadly action by its daily introduction into the stomach, especially in persons of a weak constitution. Other high authorities, soch as Carpenter, Dun das, Thompson, Gibbon ana Normandy agree that the continued use of bread will inevitably bring on dyspepsia, and the late Baron Liebig was of the same opinion. It is, cf course, impossible to determine in what manner auy alum that may be f*. jnd in bread gets there. It " may have been added intentionally by the baker,- or it may have been one of the constituents of the baking powder used to raise the bread. It is notorious that many of these baking powders contain alum to the extent, in some cases, of 20 per centum. It is impossible, therefore, to fix the criminality wholly on the ba? kers. It is possible that some of them are ignorant of'the adulterated condi? tion of their baking powder. There is no excuse for such ignorance, however, and wherever alum is found in bread the baker should be made to suffer. To show how deleterious may be this form of adulteration it is easy to calculate its effect. A healthy growing boy or girl eat an average of a pound of bread a day., of one hundred pounds in about fourteen weeks. Now, take the amount of alum adulteration at the very low rate of two per centum, and we find that each moth? ers darling eating adulterated bread has devoured two pounds of alum !a a trifle over three months. Is it any wonder that indigestion and dyspepsia are in every household ? Let any one who is disposed to doubt the evil effects of an alum-bread diet consult a good physician. The only pretense that is made by these public poi? soners, the alum adulterators, to justify their tirade isthat the alum when baked becomes an insoluble earth which passes through the stomach without any effect upon it whatever. This is totally untrue. The active principle of the salt, before mentioned, hi readily soluble in the gas? tric juice, and it is unquestionably so dis? solved rapidly and fully. Let any one hold a piece of alum on the tongue for a few minutes and see the astringent effects on the coats of the mouth; and then fancy the effectof the same treatment of the del? icate coats of the stomach day after day, to say nothing of the alum transmitted to the blood. This simple experiment willshow clearly whether alum .bread is a safe in? vestment or not. How Shall Sunday Be Used ! Simply as a day of rest it meets a most imperative want. Our American life is at best too hurried and feverish. We waste our strength in over-exertion. We burn the candle at both ends and in the middle, and reap our reward in such a harvest of nervous disorders as perhaps was never known elsewhere. From the too eager strain and stress of the week Sunday offers a blessed relief. Its rest is incomplete unless the wonted current of ideas, as well as occupations, is inter? rupted. A first and obvious principle, therefore, is to get away from the ha? bitual activities of the other six days,how ever good they may be in themselves. A teacher, for example, should as a gen al thing not teach on Sunday, but let the mind relax wholly from the attitude of instruction. So, a man who works his brain all the week can rarely afford to listen on Sunday to a sermon which keenly stimulates thought, though a service of beautiful and bearty worship may rest and refresh him. To say that no general rules can be laid down in such matters is obvious; the harder and more important thing is for each one to recognize that for him there is a good rule attainable, dependent on his char? acter and circumstances, and that it is Irs business first to find it out and then to be faithful to it. Most people are very willing to take 8unday as a day of rest, and resent any encroachment on their own rest. But the day has a higher function. It ought to give moral guidance and impulse to the week. It is the time to take a large and calm view of one's life; to see what its real objects are; what are its temper and spirit. Much of the time we are so absorbed in details of living that we for? get to ask whither it is all tending. The fault of most lives is not that they are consciously directed to bad or low ends, but they have no distinct end in view; they are merely drifting. Wedo a thing to-day because we did it yester? day. We earn our bread because other? wise we should go hungry or starve. We live from hand to mouth. Now, it is good that we should often stop a little ' while?once in seven days is seldom enough?and ask ourselves, "What real gain am I making? Am I growing in true worth, in manhood, in sincerity, in sweetness of temper? Am I getting the better of sensuality, of indolence, of sur? liness, of whatever is the worst part of mc? What am I addiug to the commu? nity ; what other lives are brighter be? cause of mine?" It is good to look at our own life in its serious and noble as? pect; tobe humble before its deficien? cies; to set our firmest will toward bet? ter living; to take a deep and thankful and trustful sense of a higher power helping us in our infirmities.

The calm bosom of the secluded lake reflects most truly the face of the heaven it mirrors, and which can never be pictured in the stormy sea or turbulent river. In "the quiet mind of the secluded thinker is usually found that wisdom which descends "to guide us iu this dark estate." Country life give: not merely the leis? ure for study, but especially is fitted for meditation aud reflection, needed to counteract the heated sensationalism and feverish thirst for novelty so pain? fully characteristic of the time and coun? try in which we live. From homes in the country, often? times obscure and sometimes impover? ished, have emerged those men who most potently and beneficently have influenced the history of our country. Few figures stand forth upon the can? vas of history so eminent and admirable as that of John Hampden, the English country gentleman, whose monument records that, "with great courage and and consummate abilities, he began a noble opposition to an arbitrary Court iu defence of the liberties of his coun? try ; supported them in Parliament, and died for them in the field." And his compeer iu virtue and ability, separated in dale by more than two cen? turies, but who will rank with him in history, whose constancy and sound judg? ment, whose intrepidity and self-control have proved such a shield and buckler to his people, when beset by difficulties and dangers greater than e ver Hampden con? fronted, is to-day supplied in our own land in Wade Hampton, the planter of South Carolina. Hampden and nampton ! The names blend in sound, and in future time, "Fat on in summers that we shall not see," they will be coupled in the lessons taught to inspire the youth of all lands with patriotic endeavor.?Senator Bay? ard's Address at Pimlico. A Queer Case of Kidnappiko.?P. S. O'Brien, the only brother of the Cali? fornia Bonanza king who lately died, has been kidnapped from Raleigh, N. C, ac? cording to a New York Herald corres? pondent, though he wxs dying of con? sumption it the time. After thediscove ry of this brother in the person of a sick car? penter at Raleigh, he was taken into the house of an Irishman n amed Waters and nursed. The sick man opened corres? pondence with a sister at San Francisco, who provides for his daughter, and she sent on a lawyer, who identified him. As P. S. O'Brien was dying with con? sumption, he cared nothing for his broth? er's millions, but a New York lawyer, named Smith, pestered him to sign an agreement to break the will and claim his share of the fortune?$2,000,000. Smith visited O'Brien at Raleigh for this purpose, and though unsuccessful when he left to return, he told Waters that he should send a palace car to bring O'Brien to New York before December 15. In* stead, two women appeared in Raleigh, who claimed to be O'Brien's wife and daughter, though he has been a widower for some years. O'Brien was so near death'h door that he did not dispute their claim, and one morning they dosed him with whiskey and took him away?to New York, they said. Nothing has been heard of him since, and it is alleged that O'Brien has been kidnapped by sharpers, who intend to get his signature to papers setting aside his brother's will and get his $2,000,000 for themselves. The Official Axe.?It is probable that within a short time there will be imporUint changes in the Federal offi? cials in the South. The President and his intimate advisers are not well satisfi? ed with the manner in which a number of the more .prominent officials there have performed their duties in Georgia, South Carolina and Louisiana. United States marshals and collectors have in important instances failed to do their duty, and in some conspicuous cases have directly violated the expressed wish of the President. Indeed, in some cast s they have used their positions not only to influence politics, but to aid Demo? cratic candidates. Complaints are made against Colonel Fitzsimmons, United States marshal for Georgia, that he is so much a Democrat that lie cannot avoid encouraging Democratic candidates. It was urged in his behalf thtit he could ex? ecute the laws as no Republican marshal could, the inference being that Georgia Democrats would not acknowledge Re? publican Federal officials. The result has shown that the laws iu Georgia are no better executed than before. The same is true in a much larger sense as to the Federal officials in Louisiana and South Carolina. A confidential agent of the government is now visiting these States, and, upon his report, the Presi? dent will undoubtedly act. ? When you say that boys will be boys you mean that there is a certain amount of diabolism in human nature which shows itself at a very early age, without intimating that in later years it wholly vanishes.

THE GENUINE BE. C. MeLA^TE'S celebrated LIVER PILLS, FOR the CURE OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DYSfErStA AND SICK HEADACHE. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres? sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe? tite and sickness; the bowels in gen? eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem? ory, accompanied with a painful sen? sation of having left undone some? thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa? tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although-hc is satisfied that exer? cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several cf the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex? isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged, AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in casks of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or-after taking Quinine.

It has a monthly circulation of over r.0,000 copies. It is published simultaneously la London and New York, and the transatlantic re? cognition is almost as general add hearty as tho Atucrican. ALONE IN THE WORLD OF BOOKS: The New York Tribune has said of it: Sr. Nicholas has reached a higher plat form, and com? mands for its service wider resources in art and letters than any of Its predecessors or contempora? ries."1 The London Literary World says: "Iherii is no magazine for the young that can be said to equal this choice production of scribner's press.''

Its purpose and method wlU bo tho fame as in the past: To present all the news In a readable shape, and to tell the truth though tho heavens fall. TiikSix l;a< been, is, and will continue to be In? dependent of everybody and everything save tho Truth and its own conviclb ns of duty. That la lue only policy which an honest newspaper need have. That is the policy which has won for this newspaper the confidence and friendship of a wider constituency than was over enjoyed by any other American journal. Till Sex is the newspaper of the people. It la not lor the rieh man against the poor man, or for the poor man against the rich man, but it seeks to> do equal justice to all interests in tin? community. It Is not the organ of any person, class, sect, or parly. 1 here need bo no mystery about its lovea aoil bales. It Is for the honest "man against tha rogurs every time. It is for the honest Democrat a< against the dishonest Republican, ami for tha bonesl Republican i s against the di-honest Dem? ocrat. It does not take its cue from the utterances} of any politician or political organization. It giv.s its support unreservedly when men or measures are iu agreement wlin the Constitution ami with the principles Upon Which this republic was founded for the people. Whenever the Con? stitution and constitutional principles are violated ?as iu the outrageous conspiracy of 1876, by which a man not elected was placed in the President'? office, where he .still remains?it speaks out for tho right. That is Tin: Sex's idea of independence. In this respect there will be no change in its pro? gramme for i!>79. Tiik Sex has fairly earned the hearty hatred ot rascals, frauds, ami humbugs of all sorts and sizes. It hopes to deserve that hatred not less in the veac IS7U than iu ls7S, |ST7, or any year gone by. Tub Si x is printed for the men and women of to-day, whose concern i- chiefly with the ail'airs of to-day. It has b th the disposition and the ability to atl'or'd its readers the promptest, fullest and most aecurata intelligence of whatever In the wide world is worth, attention. To this end the resources belonging t? w >l|.eslablh>hed prosperity will bo liberally tm loycd. Ibe present disjointed condition of parties in tiiis country, ami the uncertainty of the future, lend an extraoidiiiary significance to the events of the coming year. To present with accuracy and clearness the exact situation iu each of its varying phases,and lo expound, according to its well known methods, the principles that should guide us through (lie labyrinth, will bean Important part of the Tin: Sex's work for 1879. We have the means of making Tux Sex, as a political, a literary, and a general newspaper, moro entertaining ami more useful than ever before; ami we mean to apply them freely.
