Mr. 'Williani Banting, of No. 27 St. James street, Piccadilly, London, is a philanthropist, and having been relieved of the curse of cor? pulency, he has published a pamphlet, which he has scattered broadcast over at least three continents, for tho relief of gentlemen who "lard the lean earth" as they waddle along. Five editions of this pamphlet have been dis? tributed af a nominal price, and one of them has reached ns. Two years ago Mr. Banting, who was then sixty-three years of age, weighed two hundred and two pounds. As he is o.'ly five feet four inches in height, his obesity was excessively annoying. He could not stoop to tie his shoes; in attempting to pull on a pair of boots he nearly Lilied himself, and in going do .ni stairs he had to "descend backwards to save the jar of increased weight upon the ankle and?knee joints.1' To cast of his load of superfluous fat ho resorted to all the usual remedies for corpu? lency. He walked each day until he sank from exhaustion like an over-driven prize pig. Ho boiled himself in Turkish baths until he was almost fit to be distributed hy the Freedmen's Bore au as soup for lazy black suffragans. He bought a boat and rowed up and down the Thames until ho roared like a broken-winded horse. But violent exercise gave him an enormous appetite, and he became moro and more obese. He then devoured barrels of pickles and swallowed gallons of physic, hut with no relief. He still continued to fatten as if ho was to compete with the fat cattle of Devonshire for a prize. He at last arrived at the conclusion that corpulence was the result of that most common habit of all highly civilized men-tho consump? tion of articles of food containing so large an amount of saccharine matter. He abstained from the two frequent use of bread, butter, milk, mirra.]-, be;r, potatoes, and all other arti? cles of food abounding in saccharin i matter, and in twelve months reduced his weight from two hundred and two to one hundred and fifty six pounds. The loss of flesh wes gradual (about a pound a week), and was attended with no unpleasant effects. He retained his mental and muscular via or unimpaired, and feels younger than he has done for thirty years. Hundreds of other fat Englishmen have, Mr. Banting states, read his pamphlet, and cast off their load of fat as Christian did thc burden of his sins at the end of "Pilgrim's Prorrress." In changing his diet he still managed to live almost luxuriously, although avoiding tho arti? cles of food already enumerated. He consum? ed lor breakfast usually five ounces of beef, mutton or cold fowl, broiled fish, a large cup of stronp, tea ( without milk or sugar), and only sn ounce of dry toast. At dinner he eat five ounces of fresh fish, no meat except pork, poultrv or game, anv vegetable except pota? toes, fruit, and three triasses of claret or sherry. For supper a bun, four ounces of meat, and two glasses of claret. It will thus he seen that corpulent men can get rid of their superfluous flesh and still live generous!;-. We have abridged Mr. Banting's receipt for getting lean; but if any of our lean men desire to wax exceedingly fat, they have only to devour large quantities "ot the articles of diet which produce obesity. Broken Down Dien in Xtxv York. The New York corre'jpondent of the Troy Times writes as follows of the broken down men of that city : The broken down men to whom we have re? ferred form tue best possible help in the great mercantile concerns of this city. A. T. Stew? art, the merchant prince, has been tor years in the habit of picking out among this class such 1 assistants as ho might need; and we presume that there may be found under his roof to-day the wrecks of twenty different dry goods houses , that were started with good prospects of suc? cess. For instance, that grave and dignified gentleman of fifty-five years, who occupies the 1 position of general manager and overlooker of ' the wholesale warehouse, is Mr. Brown, for- i merry a dry goods jobber of tho house of Brown & Co., Cortlandt-street. He is a first rate business man, and Stewart knows it; and perhaps it is but an incident in life that Brown is not Stewart and that Stewart is not Brown. As it is, Mr. Brown is to a certain degree Stew? art's lieutenant, and as the latter is much en? grossed by the leading facts in his mammoth business, no one is allowed to address him per? sonally until his errand has been communicated to the lieutenant aforesaid. So, also, this tali, tine looking gentleman who bas the manage? ment of the credits. Mr. Libby, who looks after all references, and without whose approval no man can get a bill of goods on time, is a broken down merchant. Twenty years ago tho firm of Hastings, Libby & Forby struggled for wealth, but in vain. They sank in the general vortex of commercial ruin, and Mr. Stewart, who dis? cerned Mr. Libby's talents, has made good use of him. Mr. Libby is a highly gifted business man, and has made himself so necessary in Stewart's concern that, if report bo true, he has now a partnership in it. We might go on and call over Stewart's check-roll, and find many other similar case.?; and so, also, wo might find just such a class of men selling goods for Claflin and other large houses. When a man has once failed in any kind of business it is very seldom that he attempts to recuperate in tho same trade. He is generally sick of the ( Hort. Ho will work for others in that line, but has a fear of attempting it per? sonally again. Hence men who fail in New York seldom get on their feet. Their custom? ers aro drummed away by other houses, and tho current of their business is so broken that it seems impossible to be resuscitated. The customhouse is a groat gathering of broken down men, and besides this, one finds them in every petty birth which they can get into. Most of the insurance offices aro manned by this class, and in many instances insurance comp mies havo been formed for the express puni?se of affording a snug harbor for some such characters. Most of the merchandise brokers are of this class. If a wholesale drug? gist fails, he is apt to turn broker hi dmgs; if a wholesale grocer fail?, he will naturally turn to his own staples. We have said that men who fail in New York seldom got on their feet again. To illustrate this statement, we may call over a fowname8. Where was there a more famous house than that of Bowen, McNamee & Co.? And yet the collossal business which required twenty five years to build it up, went in one fell swoop when that finn failed. If you were to look for the hoad ot that great concern you would not find him in the world of silks and satins. On the othsr hand, Mr. Bowen is now the publisher of the Independent. Among other great firms that have gone out of exist? ence, we may mention in dry goods the Moores, who were in trade thirty years, who, from small beginnings, at last occupied a Broadway store at a rent of $7000. per an? num. In tho grocery business wo might mention the name ot J. K. Place & Co., which failed last fall. This house was estimated as being worth a million of dollars. Their credit stood so high that they eould purchase a bill of coffee and give i note tor it to the amount of one hundred thousand dollars, and yet, now that they have failed, it is not probable that they will pay their creditors much, if indee, i anything. Probably ri a short time wo shall see these very Placea, who once were merchant princes, running round tho streets with boxes of samples, aud taking tho chances among the legion of merchandise brokers. To go back to tho house of Denison cfc Beiden, from which the Places spining. This concern failed a few years ago, and ahhough it possessed an immense trade, yet it was never resuscitated. So, also, when Simeon Draper foiled, although ho announced in his card that ho woul. pay in full, yet the Herald contradicted this assur? ance,* and stated that be would never pay a dollar, and be never did. So, also, the great tanjong house of Prime, Ward & Co.; they paid nothing. Stcppms into a large concern, some time ago, we entered into conversation with the book? keeper, a man apparently of sixty, and found, to our surprise, that be once was a partner in a heavy clothing- importing house, whoso sign had been familiar to us for years. A conscious? ness of tho difficulty of retrieving one's for t mo was uttered in the language of William Burger, who, a few years ago. was one of the heaviest wholesale dealers in drags in the city. After his failure, which wound up his business experience of thirty years, a friend asked him how old ho was. The reply was, "too old to fail in business!" and so it proved. We have seen tho broken merchants of this city reduced to keeping boarding heuso?--. Wc know of ene who made his bread out of model artist exhi? bitions, and .motlier, who was once among '.he greatest business men of the day, was recent? ly picked up in the street at night, a drunk? en vagrant, and as sucb was taken to the 8;a tion-house. Tribute to thc Memory or Samuel Gu? nian Courtenay. At the regular monthly meeting of the Hibernian Society, held at their hall last evening, the following preamble and resolutions were introduced by Mr. M. P. 0'CONT.OB, and unanimously adopted: Scarce havo the weeds of mournine; been doffed which hung from the lace of our hall in token of our grief over the loss of a time-honored and reverend officer of this Society, than we are called upon to mourn the untimely removal of still another, who was of us, and, in soul and sentiment, with us. The solemn funereal pageant which but a few days ago we witnessed with subdued hearts, expressed the deep affliction of our whole communityupon the death of SAMUEL GILMAN COURTENAY, Esq. The thou? sands from ail departments and all classes of our society who crowded around his Wer, bore in their hearts the sentiments of attachment to him as a friend, and respect for him as s useful citizen. The number of his days were short Indeed, but sufficient to stamp his reputation as a man of large public spirit and comprehensive charity. In whatever con? cerned the welfare of his native dry, he was promi? nent and most effective in promoting tho work. The horizon of his ambition was bounded by Charleston, and be shrunk from no duty that might contribute to her progresa As a friend he was frank, generous and confiding, and his charities were commensurate with bis means, bat less abun? dant tb an his kindly benevolence. Asa member of this Society we bnt recontly had a signal test cf his importance and availability. His energy and zeal added a fresh distinction to the celebration or our late anniversary, and strewed fresh garlands of re? nown around the memories of our fraternity. His absence has left a void in our circle. The ardor of bis nature which made his BympathiOB Irish, and his spirit in accord with Irishmen, bas often gladdened the atmosphere of our Joys and qulckenod the hilar? ity that is so genial to our association. The turf will soon grow green over his head, but his memory will remain forever In our hearts un? faded. Be i', therefore, resolved. That the Hibernian Socie? ty deeply deplore, in tho death of SAMUEL GILMAN COUKTENAY. a most valued member, a true and steadfast friend, a genial and warm-hearted com? panion. Resolved, In testimony of our affection, that a page upon our Minute-Book be dedicated to his memory. Resolved, That wo tender our heartfelt condolence to his bereaved family, and that a copy of this pro amble and these resolutions be sent to his afflicted widow. Resolved, That these proceedings be published in the daily papers of tho city. ??Extract from the Minutes. WM. AIKEN KILLY, Secretory. CHARLESTON, April 8, 1868. Sjjffi?l Mitts.
