Republics are said to be ungrateful, but in the case of Mr. . Buchanan whether it was from his pre-eminent ability, his. strict integrity, his lofty dignity, his wise counsels, or spotless character honors vere bestowed up upon - on upon him in quick succession by his na native - tive native State aud common country until he reached the highest position in the gilt or the people. And. well did he merit his rc-wards. He occupied no private or public station in which he did not magnify hjs office. As a law lawyer - yer lawyer he ranked. among the first in the profession. As a legislator, in the halls of his native State, the national CoAgress, and in the Senate of the Uniteti States, although associated with such men as Silas Wright, Dan iel Webster, Henry Clav. John C. Cal- houn and Lewis Cass, he, now the liust 01 tnitt origin galaxy ot lnteilcc lnteilcc-tual - tual lnteilcc-tual giants, siood among the foremost and greatest of them all. In the Cabinet councils of the na nation, - tion, nation, where he held the first place, his administrative abilities were recog recognized - nized recognized as of the highest order ; and there, by his matchless statesmanship, he brought the Administration which iie represented .successfully through the impending crisis, with sc much dexterity aud withal justice and right that public opinion stamped him at once as a great premier of the age. And then, too, as the minister of his country at foreigu courts, with what dignity and conauinwifU skill and di diplomacy - plomacy diplomacy does he wrap the mantle of his-ithee around his iudividnal per person. - son. person. Go to St. Petersburg or the Court of St. James, and the Emperor and the Queen will tell you with what distinguished regard and esteem their respective governments remember the scholarly, dignified, urbane Mr. Buchanan. Having ascended step by step by regular gradation from ' station te station, aud office to office, and always coming up to if not surpassing, the expectations of the people, who was better fitted for, or more competent to be the Chief Magistrate of the nation? To that position the people elevated him. That he pel formed the duties ot his omco.witli lidelity with con conscientious - scientious conscientious rectitude with dignity and honor, no one will deny. That his Administration was a success or a failure time uiono will tell. 'Ihe his torical Muse has yet to make up Iter recoru. liut 01 one thing we are sure; Mr. Buchanan was always actuated by pure motives, and strict integrity-, iu ail the duties appertaining to his office as Chief Magistrate ol the na tion. -In him were combined all the qual ities and requisites of greatness.

j trans. In practice, 100 lbs. of flour The lectures on Food which have been delivered by Dr. Letheby, at the Society of Arts, are a valuable and permanent contribution to the litera literature - ture literature of Europe on a very important subject. In noticing these lectures we radiall confine our condensed , ex extracts - tracts extracts to those pa.s.n03 which every cue can understand, taking- it for granted that those competent to fol follow - low follow the scientific arguments will con consult - sult consult the original reports, either in the medical press, where the lectures -were first published, or In the volume which Dr. Letheby will, no doubt, do the Enelish-speukinp; world the favor of publishing. Tables have been more than once issued, showing the proportions of different food required to yield a cer certain - tain certain number of grains of nitrogen, or to show the nutritiv value of certain foods ; but these, although very prop proper - er proper subjects for tho investigation of men of science, are of very little vaj vaj-ue - ue vaj-ue in a popular sense so much de depends - pends depends on various mutinying agencies, on cookery, powers of digestion, cli climate - mate climate and admixture of food. Dr. Letheby early observes that all foods are derived from the vegetable king kingdom. - dom. kingdom. In other words, "All flesh is grass." "for no animal has the power of associating mineral elements and forming them into food."" It would be a curious question to raise to a par party - ty party which had just consumed a prime sirloin -how much guano, superphos superphosphate, - phate, superphosphate, and farm-yard manure had goue, by the intermediation of, grass, hay, turnips, and oilcake, to the con construction - struction construction of that beef. Whether the laboratory may eventually manage to manufueture meat is a question which we have not yet commenced to solve. "Man (at present) i a destructive.not a constructive animal." Dr. Letheby begins with the value of vegetable food. Wheat stands first in Europe. The attempts to restore the use of more bran in flour have not been suc successful, - cessful, successful, and it is not . at all certain that they ought to be. At any rate, navvies believe that white bread is more easily digested than brown bread. Uran has frequently a very irritating effect on the intestinal or- at be 1 to A ill make from 133 to 137 lbs.of bread; so that a sack of 236 lbs. should yield ninety-five 4 lb loaves. The baker increases this quantity by hardening the gluten with alum, . or wiih 3 lbs. 4 lbs. of rice, which, boiled to a fum ing mess, will make the sack of flour yield one hundred 4 lb loaves. Scotch oatmeal is more nutritious than Eng lish ; but oatmeal is not so economical a food as wheat flour. In lG95,before tea and coffee were common drinks, it appears, from an advertisement quo ted in the lectures, that there was a large consumption of water gruel "at the Marine Coffee House, Birchin Lane, Cornhill." The value of barley and rye bread we need not stop to discuss.' Philosophers "recommend them to the poor, but the poor aban abandon - don abandon their use as soon as they can get wheat bread. Maize, or Indian corn, on the other hand, has been establish established - ed established in Ireland as a staple of food ever since the potato lamine. let, al though rich in nourishing matter, it will not make good bread. When deprived of its gluten and harsh fla vor by means of .a-weak solution of caustic soda, and then dried, it forms the expensive food called 'corn flour.' Peas, beans, and lentils are very nutritious whore. they can be digested. Nothing but themost prolonged cooking will serve to help iu this par ticular. They aru deficient lu carbon aceous constituents, an 1 therefore invariably eaten with fat. Thus beans and bacon, and butter with beans, are inseparable in this country while in the backwoods of -Canada, haricot beans boiled antl then Iried with salt pork are the standing dish Of the wcod cutters. Potatoes, accorv ding to their price, are the most eco economical - nomical economical food, but the nutritive value is not great. -They are- deficient in tat, and should be accompanied with dripping, or better still with m Ik, if meat or fish cannot be had. On pota toes and milk a family of children can be reared well. Potatoes are best cooked in their skins, for the waste is then only about three per ceut,or half an ounce sn a pound, whereas if they are peeled, it is three ounces in pound. Mealy potatoes are the most digestible ; late in the season, when they are waxy, they are beat cooked by stewing. Potatoes are one of th best anti-scorbutics, and are therefore used fresh or preserved in all sea go- ing vessels. There is little nutriment in the garden vegetables in common use. They are much less nutritions than the potato, and they are chiefly valuable for their antiscorbutic pro. perties, lor their quality of flavoring insipid food, and diluting strong ones. Checne theoretically ranks high for nutritive power, bein especially rich in nitrogenous matter, but it is ex extremely - tremely extremely difficult to digest, and cannot therefore be taken in large quantities. Almost all Europeans eat meat they can get it. Although during the Irish famine it was found that the people preferred stirabout to meat soup, when Irishmen settled in Eng England - land England or America they became as great meat eaters as their neighbors, v The amount of bone in beef is rarely less than x per cent ; in the neck and brisket it is about 10 per cent, and iu in the skins & legs of beef it amounts to one third or even one half of the total weight. The most economical pieces are the round and thick flank, then, the brisket and sticking-piece. Horseflesh, Dr. Letheby says, is con considered - sidered considered on the Continent superior to beef ; and no doubt a steak from a fat horse is better than one from a jean milch cow or patriarchal bullock. Good bacon should not lose more lhan ten to fifteen percent in cooking. Ex perience has taught what science has proved viz,, that the large, amount of carbonaceous matter in hacon makes it the best addition to sub substances - stances substances rich in nitrogen, such ha eggs, veal, poultry, liver, beans, aud peaa. Dr. Letheby remarks that "fish is not a favorite article ot diet with the la WrirrsaMMJrnnIfs4'''i Is salted

amoked, perhaps because it does not easily satisfy hunger and is quickly digested ;" but it Is more probable that the cause rests in the necessity of more elaborate cooking-find applian appliances - ces appliances forjrrrtfnds of fish. All fish are In their best condition at the time of the ripening of the milt aud roe; they are fHttcr.nnd hive better flavoir flavoir-fcggs - fcggs flavoir-fcggs contain about twenty-six per cent of solid malter.of which fourteen per cent is nitrogenous and ten and a half carbonaceous, or fatty ; the yolk contains the fat, while the white is richest in nitrogen: Eggs being very deficient in carbonaceous matter, go well with fat bacon, oil in solid and farinaceous loud. Fat iu some shape is universally consumed. Cocoa and chocolate owe their chief value to the fat they contain ; Cocoa is composed of fifty per cent of fat. Of liquid ar articles - ticles articles of diet, beer and porter stand first in nutritive value. It is estima estimated - ted estimated that for the daily supply of Lon London - don London city there ar6 distributed about 4,200 tuns of fish, over 4,QQ0 sheep, nearly 700 oxen, about 00 calve?, 4,000 pigs, (including bacon and hams), 5,000 fowls, a milliou oysters, and nearly a million quartern loaves. In Dr. Letheby's secoud lecture he refers to the artificial means of en encouraging - couraging encouraging digetion. The functions of sativa are to lubricate the food for deglutition, to carry oxygen into the stomach, and to furnish a solvent for starch and tender cellulose.- It has no chemical action on lat, or fibrin, or albuminous bodies: An artificial sal saliva - iva saliva may be obtained. Liebig'8: ex extract - tract extract of malt is an example of this; also Mr. Morsoh's saccharated wheat phosphates. Both of these.are aids to the digestion of farinaceous food. Pepsin is artificially prepared by sev several - eral several persons to assist digestion, by a preparation, as it were of gastric juice. The strongest pepsin is obtained from young healthy pigs, which are kept hungry, and are then excited by sa savory - vory savory fjod,which they are not allowed to eat; while the influence of it Is strong upon lhem, and the secretions are pouting out in expectation of the meal, the animals arc instantaneously killed by being pitted. Pepsin, like disastase, is rendered inert by a tem temperature - perature temperature of from 120' to ISO" Fah., & therefore hot drinks after a meal are hurtful. Cooking has an enormous influence on the digestibility of food. We cannot believe that roast mutton is less easily digested than ox liver or than goose or boof, It seems that of starchy substances, roast potatoes are more easily digested than boiled. Dr, Letheby sums the aids to digestion thus : First, proper selection of food, according to the taste and digestive powers of the individual;'" secondly, proper treatment as regards cooking, flavoring, and serving it; thirdly, proper variations of it, both as to its nature and treatment, so that the ap petite may not fail ; fourthly.exercise, warmth, and a genial disposition, The last condition shows, that- those who giv? elaborate dinners should take care to provide one or more amusing guests. Wehave said enough to draw attention . to these lectures, which eondense io a popular manner, the latest scientific iiivestigations.in connection with the subject of food
