BROAD RIVER. .
The Broad Riverites must not expect too
much from your humble correspondent.
Many were evidently dis appointed, at not
. seeing any report in the GAZETTE, last week,
of our last “pleasant little gathering.” or so -
called school meeting. It was decided by
the chairman, that the legality of the meet—
ing was not sufficient to proceed with the
business, and consequently the “fence" was
laid. on the table, pending another meeting.
(Next.) The meeting then adjourned, but
the “circus” outside was, really amusmg,
and come near being a serious matter. One
Of-tlic voters seemed very anxious to go
into the black-51m business. John’s right
eye being the objective point, but the “pow-
wow" was quieted with no other damage
than a torn coat. When David in his haste
said “All men are liars” he established a
precedent which was faithfully followed, in
one instance by our committee. Now David
in making this sweeping assertion, either
had a pretty extensive knowledge of man—
hood, or else he was a school committee at
the time, and “all men" were district treas—
urcrs, and poésiblyhe had some good reason
for beingso hasty.
Since the beginning of the "School meet-
ing” difficulty, there _has‘becn an unusual dc-
sire on the part of the district at large, to
gain a thorough knowledge of the school
law, and a copy of the law having been pro-
cured, its contents have been devoured, with
great avidity. This one copy being but a
morsel among so many hungry ones, it is
presumed there will a meeting called, and~
a vote passed, to send some “responsible”
erson to Hartford, to secure an unlimited
number of copies, of said law, one of which
shall be placed in the bands of every man,
woman, and ehild,'in the District, so that
in after years it shall not be said that “Broad
River District was obliged to employ a Nor-
Walk lawyer to write a notice for an illegal
meeting, it' becoming necessary thereby to
petition the Board of School Visitors to ap-
point their annual oflicers." R. R.
DARIEN.
Captain Brady’s dog bit Mrs.Brown’s little
daughter a few days since. Mrs. B. is a lady
from Brooklyn. For several seasons past
she has found an enjoyable home at Deacon
Selleck’s. In passing the dog the child put~
her hand caressingly on his head. He sprang
and seized her by the nape of the neck and
inflicted a slight wound. The little thing of
course was terribly frightened. Had she
passed without the caress, doubtless there
would have been no trouble. The dog has
since disappeared and gone to parts unknown
to the writer. '
We are to have another line of telegraph
through Darien. The poles are now being
set. It is known as the Rapid Transit. It
promises marvelous things as to chcapness
and efficiency. The man superintending the
work, was highly indignant the other day.
He cou‘; i find no accommodations for his
men in our spacious hotels. He said, “such
hotels were a nuisance. He could get any
amount of poor whiskey, but nothing for a
laboring man to.eat and no place to sleep.”
What an honor are such hotels to Darien.
The venerable Charles Waterbury, of New
Canaan, died very suddenly last Tuesday.
He was the father of C. G. Waterbury, of
Darien. He was intending to go to Norwalk
on Tuesday morning. He left his house and
went into his store, to wait on a customer.
and in the very act fell to the floor dead. Not
five minutes had elapsed from the time he
left the house till life was gone. Mr. W. had
long been suffering with a disease of the heart.
His family and himself had been aware that
he would go at any moment, and yet his de—
parture at this time was unexpected. For
weeks past he was more vigorous and active
than usual. It was thought possible that he
might be spared many years. Mr. W. was
seventyaonc years old. He had always resid-
ed onrthe place where he was born. He was
a man" universally respected. To the young
and the old he was-a companion. There was
an exuberance of the social and the genial in
his nature which carried sunlight with his
presence. Because of this heart trouble, he
never ventured a ride on the cars, and very
rarely upon a steamboat, the jar and clatter
of the machinery irritated his troubles. A
very large concourse of people, attended his
funeral. Some came for many miles to show
their respect for him as an honest man and a.
worthy citizen. To his family the loss is
great and painful above words to express.
The services were conducted by Mr. Brad-
ford from Darien. He spoke briefly from
the words :—“Therefore, he ye also ready,
for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son
of man cometh.” ‘
The annual meeting of the Noroton School
District, was held on Monday Evening, July
28th, M a Scofield was re-elected com—
mittee an reasurer, and S. B. Gorham, J r.,
was elected clerk. A motion to engage Mr.
Albert Scofield as principal of the school for
the ensuing year was carried.
The “Gardner Place” at Noroton was sold
at auction on Friday for the sum of $3,840.
' Mr. John Weed being the purchaser.
. Mr. Stephen Husted of New York is visit-
ing friends in town. '
Still another school meeting. The legal
voters of District No. 4, were called together
for their annual meeting on Tuesday Eve--
ning, and elected Mr. Lewis Miller, Commit—
tee and Treasurer, Mr. J .Leeds, Collector and
Mr. Charles Andrews, Clerk. It was voted
that the Committee hire a teacher at a salary
not to exceed $35.00 per month. As there
was no business to transact the meeting ad—
journed.

Bishop McMahon has reappointed William
Harty rector of St. Joseph 8 Cathedral and
chancellor of the diocese. The appointment
will give general satisfaction as Father Harty
has made many friends since his appoint—
ment by the late Bishop Galberry. It is un-
derstood in Catholic circles that Rev. James
Hughes of St Patrick’s church will be ap-
pointed Vicar General under Bishop McMa-
hon, resuming the ofiice which he heldundcr
the late Bishop McFarland.
A subscription paper is being circulated
in town, for the purpose of raising sufficient
money to buy six lots in Mountain Grove
cemetery, for the use of members of the Ma-
sonic fraternity in Bridgeport or for those
who may be buried here, although not mem—
bers of any of the lodges. The lots will in
located very advantageously near the high
ground. The paper is being liberally signed
and there is little doubt that the required
sum will be raised. -
One evening about a week ago a gentleman
was coming down Fairfield avenue near Gen-
eral Dwight Morris‘s residence, when a fe1~
low sprang out of the shrubbery and said,
“give me your watch." The gentleman
happened fortunately to be armed with a
heavy cane, bl'lStling with points where
limbs had been cut off, and the tramp was
knocked down with all the promptness that
could be desired under the circumstances.
The gentleman then remonstrated with the
fellow for being such a fool as to attack a
man with a cane when he had not even a
pistol, and wound up by asking him if he
wanted any more. “No, go along,” growled
the robber. The gentleman then went his
way, warning the fellow to make himself
scarce because he should send the first po—
liceman he met after him. Meeting no ofll-
ccr on his way_home he. said no more about
it, but on looking at his cane the next morn-
ing he found blood stains and hair adhering
to it, showing that his blow had been an ef-
fective one.
Charles B. Wheeler of Monroe, was sworn
in as County Commissioner for three years
Friday morning. The board then or nized
by selecting John W. Rockwell of idgc—
field. chairman, and .E. J. Wright of Green-
wich, clerk. LeGrand G. Beers of Trum-
,buil, the retiring member of the board gave
his associates a dinner and was presented
with a gold headed cane.
Garry Judson, aged eighty-one years,

The Lawn Party and entertainment given
Wednesday evening, under the auspices of
Christ Church Ladies Aid Society, of which
Mrs. W. S. Jones is President, Mrs. F. H
Nash, Vice-President, and Anna Wilkins,
Treasurer, resulted in $110.00 gross receipts,
upward of $60 of which will be profit._ The
ladies who have no definite object now to
devote the money to, say it will keep.
Dr. and Mrs. R. C. M. Page, Mrs. and
Mrs. A. S. _Hubbell, and Mr. and Mrs. H.
R. Treadwell. returned Saturday, from a
three day’s sojourn at Brighton Beach. They
were favored with fine-weather.
A kerosene lamp in the hand of Mrs. J.

Friday evening, and but for the aid of per-
sons standing near, would have caused a con-
flagration. .
Mr. Edward A. Nash is recOvcring from

of the yacht Ibis, while of Block Islands
day or two since, caught. 750 pounds of cod-
fish in'four hours.

ducting lesst han 50 per cent. for blowing.
All things point to a splendid time for the
fire doys on the occasion of the annual
parade in September. Many fire compa-
nies have accepted the invitation extended
by our com ittec to be present. The finan-
cial part of be business looks good.
Tuesday afternoon, Frank Norris accident-
ly got beneath the wheels of a mowing ma—
chine he was operating, and before he could

The departure of Mrs. Gustavus Upson
from her home, Monday morning, July 28;
the search everywhere for her; the sorrow
of, a husband, children and friends; the
awakened sympathies of an entire commun-
ity; her tragic end, and the discovery of
her body in the Saugatuck river Tuesday
afternoon, are subjects which have absorbed
the minds of the people here during the
week. The real cause impelling the lady
strangely forward to meet death, (that she
committed suicide is not believed) have not
yet=been satisfactorily explained. The ap:
parent cause is claimed to have been failing
bodily health affecting her mind and reason.
It is further claimed that in a somnlimbulic
wandering, whither and how far none can
never know, she drew near the river, uncon-
sciously stepped in and disappeared beneath
its surface. The theory that she had walk—
ed some distance is strengthened by the con-
dition of her stockings, which were much
worn and tattered. The body was found
in six feet of water near “Uncle Gill” rock,
just north of what is known as the “Otter
Pond,” by a son of Mr. Robert Snagg. The
boy sat in the stern of the boat while his
father was rowing, and put over a fish line
one of the hooks upon which caught in the
clothing of the drowned woman, raising her
to the water's surface. The verdict of the
jury of inquest, J usticc Finch presiding, was
that “Mrs. Sarah ‘P. Upson came to her
death by drowning. The funeral took place
Thursday afternoon. Services. were conduct-
ed first at the house of Mrs. Stephen Carver,
by Rev. Mr. Bentley of Norwalk, whose
church, deceased had recently joined, and
secondly at Christ Church, to'which she had
formerly been attached, and Of which her
husband was amember,by Rev. Mr. Williams
assisted by Rev.A. N. Lewis. Rev. Mr. Bent-
ley addressing the mourning frindssought to
comfort them by showing the goodness of
Providence even in the mysterious way schos-
en by Him to manifest that goodness;that the
darkest cloud might have a silver lining,and
that the saddest phazes of adversity, might
become the most useful lessons and means
.to light our pathway to a higher and befier
life. He aptly and appropriately illustrated
his meaning by reference to the picture of a
celebrated painter, at first light seemed to
be a daub of unmeaning dark colors, but
which, as it was more closely examined
proved to be possessed of wonderful beau—
ties, even to the bright eyes and faces, and
the graceful wings of angels, At the church
Rev. Mr. Williams tOok occasion to explain
and set right the incorrect notions which
some entertain as to meaning of that portion
of the churches litany which prays for de—
liverance from sudden death, making it clear
that only such deliverance was intended
where the suppliant felt that he was unpre—
pared to die. The burial of Mrs. Upson
took place in Christ Church cemetery.
The Congregational Society have extended
a call to Rev. Mr. Roberts, of Kansas. It is
not known as yet as to his acceptance. The
Improvements lathe church,now nearly com-
pleted, will cost over $500.
Mr. Sidney Watts and Mrs. Hannah Bur-
well were married, Tuesday, by Rev. A. N.
Lewis, at his house, the happy couple pro—
ceeding to Springfield on their wedding
trip. .
Pretty much all the fun at the juvenile en-
tertainment given at Mrs. C. H. Taylor‘s,
Thursday night, was caused by “Punch and
Judy," and “The Smith family going to
Europe."
Progress in “Pinafore,” though somewhat
interfered with by the hot weather,continues
to be made. Ere long Mr. TenBroeck will
arrive and take the details of the work in
hand. It is expected he will remain in town
two or three weeks proceeding the produc-
tion of the opera,-that he will superintend
all rehersals, and, as he can sing or play
every note of the work without reference to
a hook, the prospects of our making it a suc-
cess are good. By day Mr. TenBrocck pro-
poses to call at the homes of those who are to~
take solo parts and instruct them personally
——by night he will meet the same people in
rehearsal, “Pinafore,” to be brought out
by Westport amateur talent, thus has new
phases, from which the projectors argue they
can see positive success. More ladies and
gentlemen are needed to strengthen the
chorusses. An invitation is hereby extended
to any and all who may feel like taking part
to do so at once. It is proposed to give the
opera early in September,and to that end the
stage of National Hall is being remodeled
and enlarged with a special view of this
great occasion.
An old sea captain, who has circumnavi-
gated the world, commanded a U. S. war
vessel during the rebellion, and now resides
in this place, finds time, aside from the busi-
ness in which he is engaged, to devote atten-
tion to the subject of yachts. He writes, in
behalf of the Gamma, which paper he has
read for the last 35 years, as follows :
'“There are few people who know the ex-
tent of yachting interests in Westport, or the
amount of capital invested therein; We are
in a nautical community; for instance: If a
yacht capsizes, and wets the owner, it is not
a nine days’ wonder but is looked upon as a
matter of course, and to develop a scientific
theory.
The yacht “LcGrand B.” was built in 1872
as an experiment, the owner, Mr. Cannon,
being enthusiastic in the sport of yachting.
She was originally 160 (1’) feet long, 40(?)
feet beam, and 17 feet 6 inches (?) depth of
bold, registering 795 (f) tons. She has been
rigged in a different manner every season, to
get at her best sailing qualities, which appear
to be those of a .schooner. She has made
several long voyages of which the most
memorable is her voyage around Wright’s
Island, last year, on a wager, which she won
by a short time. allowance. She carried he-
sides her own crew of 30 (i) a number of
guests, among whom several kept journals,
from one of which the following passages of
events in the most interesting part of the
cruise are quoted =
As usual in such caees;
-hot weather we can get.
“Yacht LeGrand B," Let. 41° 40 north.
Lon. 74° 20 west. At 2 p. m. made the high
land called Ball Mountain, behind Wright 3
Island. At 3 p. ni. made the island itself,
which is very low, wind southwest, which is
a dead wind. Stood well over toward the
west coast, and at 5 p. m. tacked ship to the
cast, moderate breeze, all drawing sail set.
At 8 p. m. was well into the passage between
the island and the main land, called Cross-
man‘s Straits. At 8:45 p. m., wind favoring,
doubled the southwest point of the island,
and started sheets for the cast point. At
9:20 we were well over toward Baker’s land
and well under the lee of Ball Mountain.
Bright moonlight. Numbers of natives ba-
thing. Could plainly hear the shouts of the
blithcrs and the barking 'of the dogs. ‘ Also
made out, at anchor under the lee of the
mountain, a long, suspicious looking craft,
very much like a Malay Proa. Could hear
the alarming shouts of the people as they
discovered us, our white sails showing up
well in the moonlight. Saw large, numbers
of them hurrying down to the beach to em-
bark on the large vessel which we have de—
scribed. At 10 p. m. kept away due north,
wind well on the port quarter and slipping
through the water at 11 knots an hour.
Her largest days' run was 315 (f) miles, by
observation, 303 (i) by leg. She arrivedhere
October 27, 1878, having made the voyage in
240 (t) days, 13 ('1’) hours, and sailing over
26,000 ('0) miles. '
The “LeGrand B., Jr." was built in 1876.
She is 60 (2’) feet long, 24 (1’) feet beam, .7 ('0)
feet hold, rather fuller at the ends than the
famous “L. G. B. ,Sr.” She is ably command-
cd and sailed by the young gentleman after
whom she is named,and although he does not
like a contest in which he is almost obliged
to outsail the old gentleman, every one can
see what he could do. The saloon of the
“L. G. B., Jr.," is fitted up with rosewood,
satinwood, and birdscye maple panels, inlaid
with ivory, and every convenience and luxu-
ry that the wealth and ingenuity of the
owner can suggest. Her lines are perfect
and her model has been copied by many of
our best builders. who ,have been very suc-
cessful in the vessels modeled after her, for
speed. She (the “L. G. B.,Jr.,”) has always
taken the lead in contests of speed, and be-
sides is one _of the most comfortable (?) ves-
sels afloat." ' -

Please to give following a place in the
the Chronicle, and oblige a CUSTOMER.
“In commemoration of that, truly glorious
day when we shook off the yoke of British tyr-
anny and avowedly declared ourselves an
independent people, a number of respectable
inhabitants of Wilton assembled at the house
of Capt. Daniel Betts, “innholder,” [this inn'
stood about where the present residence of
H. E. Chichester, Esq, now stands, only
nearer the road], whilst with sociable mirth
and friendly glee we were welcoming each
other the happy exchange from monarchial
power to Republican privilege, we" were not
unmindful of the patriotic worthies who fell
victims in the cause of liberty. Wewalked in
procession from the house to a table prepared
in the arbor fronting the house, [this arbor
was more properly a grove of trees in the lot
south of the Episcopal rectory which at that
time was heavily wooded], where, under the
discharge of fire arms, the following toasts
were drank: ' -
1. The day, and all who honor it.
2. The federation of the United States of
America. .
3. The illustrious President of the United
States; may his sun shine with as bright a
lustre in the eve as in the meridian of life.
4. America; may she smile under the en-
joyment of peace and prosperity, while the
powers of Europe, influenced by avarice,
ambition and revenge, deluge their countries
with carnage. "2
5. The Governor of the State of Connect-
icut; may he have a Mentor for his guide.
6. The American flag; may We see the
time when all nations shall treat it with hon-
orable notice. '
7. Our navigation and commerce; may
prosperity and success attend it uninterrupt-
ed by British piracy.
8. The union of France with America 5 *
may it continue to perpetuity.
9. The Republic of France; may she
withstand the united force of arbitrary power
and learn her enemies to tremble at her name.
10. France; may she obtain from insulting
Britons honOrable terms of peace.
11. The remembrance-of the Marquis de
la Fayette. .
12. Congress; may they ever be actuated,
in all their deliberations by motives produc-
tive of public good.
13. With the brave Montgomery, the un-
fortunate soldiers who blcd in the cause of
their country, for the attainment of liberty
and independence.
14. Speedy destruction . of monarchial
power.
15. Peaccable possesion of our western
frontiers.
16. The new State, by its influence; may
savage barbarity be turned into friendly
alliance. ,
After which we returned in like order to
the house from whence we came (and) Spent
the eve infriendly chit—chat, paying due re—
spect to good order and decorum." -
The late Moses Belts could remember the
circumstance quite vividly, and spoke of it
as being a morable day. The toasts show
very climatic gratitude felt toward France
for her timer aid in the struggle for inde—
pendence. Although as a report it is hardly
what we would expect at the present day,
yet it is better than none, and gives us some
sort of an insight into the past.

the past twelve months as during the pre-

the mortgages on property in New Haven

On Tuesday last, in company with our
family we enjoyed a trip to Rockaway, and
return on :be fine steamer “Laura”. The
excursion was gotten up by Daniel Lucey
of Bridgeport. A special train was run
from New Milford and intermediate points
to Bridgeport, which brought quite a crowd
of happy country people who seemed to en—
joy the trip. Some of them could not con-
trol their feelings while on the ocean and
lemons were in great demand. ‘Even then
there were some who as they gazed upon

finally gotten up, in fact it is the best map we
ever saw of any place.
We have been treated to some more hot
weather for the last few days. On Saturday
last, at 2 p. m., It was 91° in the shade.

How SETH Gauss BECAME A Prsxcun.
Tunisrs,—Seth Green is worth about $55,-
000, accumulated as a fisherman, I said to
him in the few minutes’ conversation we
had: “Mr. Green, what put you in the no-
tion of hatchiny fish and restocking our
streams ?" “I fished Lake Ontario,” he
said, “for about one generation. I had 100
miles of net and 100 hands before I was done.
I kept a fish market in Rochester, and sup—
plied white-fish, salmon, trout, pickeral,etc.,
all over the country. I was a good line fish-
erman, and went up the streams leading
into the lake to get brook trout, salmon and
other game fish. One day when up the
stream I saw a fine female salmon weighing
about six pounds, come up, attended by her
mate and three or four other fish. I had to
jump behind a tree and take an observation,
and there I saw the salmon begin to scoop
out a place in the bottom of the brook with
her tail. After scooping awhile she would
go Off coquettishly and then come back, and
the other fish seemed to help her. It occur-
edto me that she was putting her spawn
down there beyond the reach Of other kinds
of fish. There is nothing in the world so
delightful to brook trout asto devour sa1~
mon spawn. . You know how salmon mul—
tiply. Put the spawn out of sight and it
will multiply into little salmon; let it lie in
the water and the trout will eat it. I be-
cameso interested in that incident that I got
up the tree the next day and made myself a
kind of seat'there among the boughs, where
I could look down in the clear water at the
operations of those fish' to protect their
spawn. I made up my mind then that if
ever Igot a little more money than would
keep me I would go at fish culture. It had
been begun in England and I began to read
on it. As soon as I had $1,200 a year more
than my nebessities I went at this fish busi-
ness and took a brook, near Rochester,wherc
I had five miles to myself, invented my
hatching boxes and started in. The only
money I made in this business was by the
sale of the brook. I made $11,000 on it.
However, the work has been started in vari
ous parts of the country, and we shall not
leave the generation to succeed us without
fish and sport."-—Leller to Cincinnati En-

Insccts as Medicine.
According to our medical exchanges the
latest sensation in the way of a materia med-
ica is the Blatta Orientalist, or in less scien—

it is an idea not altogether to be rejéctiid
that these animals may cancentratc into a

of the plants upon which they feed and thus
afford medicines more powerful in operation
than the plants themselves.
Setting aside the preliminary observation
in regard to “powerful odor,” such a notion
can scarcely have reference to the cockroach,

What particular medicinal alkaloid the in—

such a‘ mixed diet it would be difiicult to
determine. The homoepathic pharmacist,
however, has long been accustomed to ob.
tain the concentrated strength of some such
active principle by triturating the blatta
down to its ultimate molecule with sugar or
milk. By reference to a homeOpathic work
on symptomology‘ we find that “provings”
show that this insect, when administered
to the healthy "slibjeet, "causes”laziness,
which certainly is an extraordinary effect
to be produced by so agile a beetle. A high
potency of the bedbug is obtained by means
of the same manipulation, although the re-
sulting trituation is better known of the fol—

also found favor in another practice, used
in puris ‘aturalibns, five or six of the bugs
being administered for a dose as a cure for
chills; and it has likewise enjoyed some
notority as an emmenagogue. Another in-
sect, not—usually mentioned in polite society,
also enters into the homeopathic list of rem-.
edies, and this is the head louse (pediculus
capitis). "Provings" show that this insect
has a remarkable cerebral tendency (as we
might suppose), and hence its use is indicat-
ed in various forms of severe headache, ac-
companied by nausea and vertigo.

Picnics of the Stomach,
A few summers sincea man' living in one
of the wards of- thisjcitypnot famed for the
intelligence and refineniehts of its, tenants,
ate his dinner, of a hot day, adding thereto
this unique dessert: cherries, ice cream, and
lager beer. Within an hour the man was
seized with frightful pains, and before mid-
night he- was dead. A learned physician
pronounced this an aggravated case of Asiatic
cholera. At that time cherries and early
watermelons were in season, and the cholera
was daily expected to arrive. >_ Last week,
several girls employed in a" tobacco factory,-
in this 'city, were attacked by a mysterious
disorder, one of the symptoms of which took
the form of violent convulsions. Submitting
to a diagnosis by a physician, one of the pa:
had been cucumbers, more or less wilted,andj
ice water. Another had gone to work with-
cabbagc alone. By way of filling the stoma
ach, later in the day, this patient had also
drank, copiously, of ice water. .And this
mysterious disorder was pronounced, (by non.
professional authority), to be fever contract-u
ed by contact with tobacco from the scum-
ern States. It did not matter that the dis—'
case was not fever, and neither wasit yellow
fever. Neither was the tobacco plant grown
contagious disease. Fortall that, the girls
were dcclar'ed'to be stricken "with yellow
fever, and the diet of cucumbers, cabbage,
and ice waterJiad nothing. whatever to do
with the case. In like manner, mothers send
and thinly shed, and after a— while murmur
at what they call “a mysterious dispensation
of Previdence.”
It is melancholy to consider how many of
our fellow mortals, who have been reared in
civilized and enlightened enmmunities,perish
through ignorance Of the simplestdaws of
hygiene. The man who astonished and out-
raged his stgmach with a mixture of an‘acidu-
Ions fruit, a preparation of milk, and a malt
liquor, would have refused a dose of strych-
nine, yet he might as well have taken the
poison. He would have suffered less,because
his death would have been specdier,- though
not more certain. The young women who
prefer a new bonnet to healthful food, would
have been mightily afraidof going into a yel-
low fever hospital. Nevertheless, they would
have been more likely'it'o- "have escaped the
contagion, with an intelligent exercise of
care, than-they were to escape pain and dis-
tress after a' banquet of cucumbers and 'ice
water. If the art of dining well is understood
by a few, how muchmore emphatically true
it is that thousands of our people do not even
know how to feed. Less intelligent than "the-
beasts of the field, that graze, or browse,suit-
ing their fare to the varying hours and seasOns
of the day and year, uneducated men and
women poison themselves with all manner of
viands, mixed with all sorts of things unfit to
eat. What a profound and comprehensive
ignorance of the properties of things does that
mandisclose who swallows raw oysters with
draughts of spirits in which the bivalve is
turned into a leathery fiber. There are men
and women, nominally alive and walking the
earth, whose digestive organs have been de-
stroyed by the use of salaratus, that insidious
enemy of the human race, or debauched by
hot biscuits and hot fat,or whose much-endur-
ing stomachs have finally succumbed to the
pressure of indigestiblc food taken in at fre—
quent and unreasonable hours. And yet there
are people who declare that there is no need
for the preaching of agospcl for the stomach,
may or may not be eaten together. Conceded
that beer is good, and that ice cream is
good, it is agreed. apparently, that these two
things are always good, either' singly or to-
gether. _
The unfortunatcignoramus who sits down
at the bountifultablc, of an American hotel
with a varied bill of fare before him,is like the
equally ignorant summer resident of the city

learned how to compose a repast from the mul-
tifarious courses of the dinner which is at his
command. He does not possess the experience
which guides him to choose, a few dish
which belong in sequence together, and to
denyhimself the major part of the menu
given him. The result is indiscriminate gorg-
themselves through ignorécc—ofi E‘VP'C" to
provide, and how; tggprovlde. for the tuble.
At this season Of the year, eyentliemost un-
intelligent knbw theta vp‘getabl'o diet is most

it is most needed, and not in icy winter,when
we require carbon-generating food. But fruit
and beer do not mix well together, and over-
ripe peaches and under-ripe melons have slain
their thousands and tens of thousands. By
an agreement which is well—nigh national,
our people fly to ice water for solace in the
heats of summer. Vizételly, discoursing of
the universal use of champagne, incidentally
refers to “the New Yorker rinsing his stom-
ach with copious libations of ice water.”
And though factory and shop managers may
deny their employees fresh air and pure light, ,
they do not dare withhold the often-refilled
cask :of ice mter. 'chce,-crainps, stomach
