WHAT WE EAT. Som? <>f the Mcthodf o? Adulterating Il read. Kew York Evening Post. It hos long been beliovcd'by the pub lie that nearly every species of food re quiring any process of manufacture or refining in its preparation for use is moro or lesa adulterated. Almost any house wife will declaro her belief nmounting in ber own mind to positive certainty-that Hour, bread, sugar, ten, coffee, vinegar, butter, canned goods mid many other articles, are adulterated ; but, ns slic assumes that all brands and makes fire equally impure, she doe? not trouble herself much about, it. until some Special investigation shows actual danger in the uso of certain adulterants. Among other things, baker's bread ?rt generally bur dened with a very bad name. It is well known that both organic and inorganic substances can be, and often have been, used in mnking bread. The organic adulterants are usually barley, rye, pota to and cont flour. These ce:*, generally be detected under a microscope. While they aro undoubtedly Adulterations, they are not nt all hurtful i1 ; thc stomach or tho blood, nod their ui is only nu net of commercial dishonesty. The inorganic adulterations are ahm, suiphato of cop per, bone ashes, bone dust, white clay, carbonate of magnesia, chalk, gypsum, sulphate of /.inc and an excessive amount of water. Some hf thene ure used to give whiteness and lightness to the bread, while others BI m ply tn''C tho place of Hour. Nearly.all of thei hi ve a dele terious effect upon thc stomach when liken internally, and mme of them may bc regnrded a positiv? poisons. 1'I.F.APr., 8irt, ONLY A I.ITTLK ALUM. Iii European and oilier countries where flour is dear, all of thc?c adulterations have been used. Copper sulphate is available in the minutest quantities only. One part in eighteen hundred is tho lar gest quantity that cnn bo tired without destroying the lightness of the bread. The object desired is to make the bread white, using a very poor flour. To thoroughly i ;x thc flour and sulphate in proper proportion requires such great care tts to make the procces too expensive in this country, where flour is cheap. It is a very dangerous method of whitening bread, however, ns thc presence of thc copper eau be detected only with great difficulty. There aro frequent arrests and convictions in Europe for using chalk, while, clny, gypsum and alum in making brood. In America the usc nf alum has been regarded ns ulmost 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 bnkers' bread, but also as one not very objection able. This view is wholly erroneous. Alum, tho oxide of nlumiin, is a power ful astringent snit. As found tn the broad after baking, its active principle remain? in euch a condition ns to bo ea sily dissolvable in tho gnntric juice after having eutcred the stomach. When taken internally it produces dyspepsia, constipation, griping, nnd oven, in HU HI - clent quantities, vomiting and inflamma tion of tho gastro enteric musus. Du mas says : "lt is to bo feared that this salt exerts a deadly action by its daily introduction into the stomach, especially in pcreons of a weak constitution. Giber high authorities, such as Carpenter, Dun das, Thompson, Gibbon ana Normandy agree that tho continued use of bread will inevitably bring on dyspepsia, und the luto Baron Liebig was of the name opinion. It is, if course, impossible to d?termin? in what mau uer any alum that may bo found in broad gets there. It may have been added intentionally by the baker, or it may have been one of tho constituents of tho baking powder used to raise the bread. It is notorious that many of theso baking powders contain alum to thc extent, in some cases, of 20 per centum. It is itnpossiblo, therefore, to (i.s. thc criminality wholly ou the ba kers. It is possible thnt somo of them are ignornnt of tho adulterated condi tion of their baking powder. There is no excuso for such ignorance, however, and wherever alura is found in bread thc baker should be made to su fier. To show bow deleterious may bo this form of adulteration it is easy to calculate its effect, A healthy growing boy or girl eat ass avercge of a pound of breud a day, or one hundred pounds in nbout fourteen weeks. Now, take tho amount of alum adulteration at the very low rate of two per centum, and wo find that each moth ers darling eating adulterated bread has devoured two poundsofnlum in a trifle over three TWbths. Is it any wunder that iiiuigesti...! nnd dyspepsia aro in every household ? Let any one who is disposed to doubt the evil effects of an alum-bread diet consulta good physician. The only pretense that is made by theso public poi soners, tho alum adulterators, to justify their trade is that the alum when baked becomes an insoluble earth which passes through the Htomach without any effect upon it whatever. This if totally untrue. Tho active principle of the salt, before mentioned, is readily 'soluble in tho gas tric juice, and it is unquestionably HO dis solved rapidly and fully. Let uny one hold a piece of alum on tho tonguo for a few minutes and seo the astringent effects on tho coats of tho mouth ; and then fancy tho effect of tho same treatment of the del icate coats of the stomach day after day, to soy nothing of tho alum transmitted to the blood. Tins simple experiment will show clearly whether alum bread is n safe in vestment or not. Hon- Shall Sunday Be Used t Simply os a day of rest it meets a most imperativo want. Our American lifo is at beat too hurried and feverish. We waste our Rtrength in over-exertion. Wo burn the candle at both ends and in the middle, and renp our reward in such a bakFYc?t of Q?rv?U? ?iB?ruero?a perhaps was never known elsewhere. From tho too eager strain and stress of the week Sunday offers a blessed relief. Its rest is incomplete unless the wonted current of ideas, os well as occupations, is inter rupted. A first and obvious principle, therefore, is to get-away from tho Ha bitual activities of the other six days,Im w ever good they moy'be in themselves. A teacher, for <>Ti?mnlA ?hnnlA ? ?. al thing not teach on Sunday, but let tho mind relax wholly from tho Kttitudo of instruction. So, a man who works his brain all tho week can rarely' afford to listen on Sunday to & sermon which keenly stimulates thought, though a service of beautiful nnd hearty worship may rest and refresh him. To-Bay that no general rules can. be laid down in such matters is obvious ; tho harder nnd more important tiling is for each ono to recognize that for him there is a cood rule attainable, dependent on his char* noter and circumstances, and that it is his business first to find it out and then to be faithful to it Most people aro very wjlllng to take Sunday as a day of rest, and resent any encroachment on their own rest. But tho day baa a higher function. It ought to give moral guidance and impulse ts the week. It as tho time to take a large and calm view of one's life;'to see what its real objects ore; what are Its temper and ppirit. Much of tho time we are so absorbed in'details of living that wo for get to ask whither it is all tending. The fault of most lives- is not that they are consciously directed lo bad or low cuds, but they have no distinct end in view-; they aro merely drifting. Wedo a thing to-day because wo did it yester day. Wc earn our bread because other i1;}40*'0/hould go hungry or Ma?ve. \\ c live from hand to mouth. Now, it is good thal wo should often stop a little while- once in seven days is seldom enough-and ?sic ourselvex, "vVlittl real gain nm I making? Am I growing in true worth, in manhood, in sincerity, in sweetness of temper? Ami gelling tho better of sensuality, of indolence, of sur liness, of whatever is the worst part of mc? What am I adding to lue commu nity ; what other lives arc brighter be cause of mine ?" It is good to look at our own lite in its serious and noble as pect ; tobe humble before its deficien cies; to set our firmest will toward bet ter living ; totano a deep and thankful and trustful sense of a higher power helping us in our infirmities.

The calm bosom of thc secluded late reflects most truly the face of the heaven it mirrors, and which can never be pictured io tho stormy *ea or turbulent river. lu the quiet mind ?d' thc secluded thinker is usually found that wisdom which descends "to guide us in this dark estate." Country life gives not merely thc leis ure for study, but especially is fitted for meditation and reflection, needed to counteract the heated sensationalism and feverish thirst lor novelty so pain fully characteristic of thc time and coun try in which we live. I"rom bonn's 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 thc can vas of history so eminent and admirable as that nf John Hampden, the English country gentleman, whose monument records that, "with great courage and and consummate abilities, be began a noble opposition to on arbitrary Court it) defence of the liberties of his coun try ; supported them in Parliament, and died for them in tho field." Ami his compeer in virtue and ability, separated in dale by more than two cen turies, but who will rank with him in history, whose constancy ami sound judg ment, whose intrepidity ami self-control have proved such a shield ami buckler to his people, when beset by difficulties and dangers greater than ever Hampden con fronted, is to-day supplied in our own hind in Wade Hampton, the planter of South Carolina. Hampden and Hampton! The names blend in sound, and in I ti ttl re time, "Far on in au mmol s that we shall not see," they will be coupled in the lessons taught to inspire the youth of all lands with patriotic endeavor.-fkivitur Bay ard's Address at Pimlico. A Qrnr.u CASK op Ki DNA PIM KO.-P. S. O'Brien, the only brother of the Cali fornia Bonanza king who lately died, has been kidnapped from Haleigh, N. C., ac cording tn a New York Herald corres pondent, though he was dying of con sumption nt the time. After the discove ry of this brother in the person of a sick car penter nt Raleigh, he was tnken into the house of an Irishman named 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 willi 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 thc will and claim his shnrc of the fortune-$2,000,000. Smith visited O'Brien at Raleigh for this purpose, and thoimh unsuccessful when tie left to return, he told Waters that ho should send n palace car to bring O'Brien to New York before December lo. 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 wan so nenr death's door that he did not dispute their claim, nnd one morning they nosed 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 ?harpers, who intend to get his signature to papers srtting nside his brothers will and get his $2,000,000 for themselves. THE OFFICIAL AXE.-It is probable that within a short time there will be important changes in thc Federal o lu c?ais in thc South. Tho President and his intimate advisers are not well satisfi ed with the manner in which a number nf tho 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 influen?a politics, but lo aid Demo cratic candidates. Complaints arc made against Colonel Fitzsimmons, United States marshal for Georgia, that he is so tnuch a Democrat that lie cannot avoid encouraging D?mocratie candidates. It was urged in his behalf that he could ex ecute the laws as no Republican marshal could, thc inference being that Georgia Democrnts would not acknowledge Re publican Federal officials. The result luis shown that tho laws in Georgia aro no better executed than before. The same is true in A much larger sense as to tho Federal officials in Louisiana and South Carolina. A confidential agent of tho 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 tinture which shows itself at a very early age, without intimating that in later years it wholly vanishes.
