Digestion.
Influence of the Diet Upon Health
WJlttl Contains the Most Nourish'
wen!.
At a lecture delivered at the Cos riper
Institute the following suggestions
were made on “Animal 11.-at, and the
Influence of Diet on Health, Strength
and Long Life.-'
The lecturer commenced by saying
that he would speak upon food and
drink. As these topics wore closely
connected with that of digestion, he
would recapitulate some points spoken
of in a previous lecture. He then ex
plained, with the aid of models con
structed for the purpose, the various
‘organs of digestion. The salivate
glands wore an important agency in
the utilization of food. Their office
was to moisten and prepare it for the
6tomach. Liquids taken during the
meals usurped their place, while they
did not discharge their functions. —
Hence, drinking during the time of
eating was to be avoided as far as
possible. The teeth, the masticators
of our food, were, if used properly, fit
ted to last a hundred years, and still
be in good order. How was it that
they so commonly failed us before I
middle age had been reached. The an
swer was to be found in the large
quantity of hot liquids taken into the
mouth, and the inordinate amount of
sweets consumed. The tongue and
thorax filled minor functions in the
work of digestion. Diseases of the
throat were generally the result of un
digested food in the stomach, affecting
the mucous membrane lining of that
delicate organ. This brought him to
speak of the stomach, the great agent
in the transmutation of our food. 'J lie
doctor here brought forward a model
of this organ of average size. Stomachs
he said, varried much in sizs ; —one
pint was the average capacity, while
there were some which were able to
contain three gallons. This member
of the body, being made of thin and
elastic material, was capable of great
distension. In it the food was mixed
with the gastric juice, necessary to
proper digestion. All stimulants and
condiments checked the exudation of
this juice. Hence the food lying un
digested in the stomach, fermented
and evolved carbonic acid gas, which,
being absorbed by the blood and ear.
ried to the brain, was productive of
most disastrous results The use of
ardent spirits, lager beer and tobacco
were most vehemently condemned. —
Men who, in perplexities, resorted to
the intoxicating draught, were cow
ards. The true man should be able to
stand alone. The food become chyle
by means of the action of the gastric
juice, was passed from the stomach
through the intestinal canal—thirty
feet in length—by whose veins, arteries
and lacteal glands it is absorbed and
dietnhnted through the body, # to be
built up into various constituent parts
of the human system. The blood,
supplied with oxygen from the lungs,
was thus purified and vitalized. The
lecturer then enlarged upon the great
importance of bis theme. The blood
defended upon iVic digestion. Th(J
health, happiness, cheerfulness, intel
lect, faith, religion, whole character,
were dependent in a large degree upon
the quality of the blood. The food
we oat aud the way in which it is
cooked and eaten were thus widely in
fluentiai in life. It was more impor
tant to regulate the food than tJ>o
teaching of the rising generation. Ig
norance was more out of place in the
kitchen than anywhere elge. The lec
turer went on to speak of the various
kinds of food in their relative digesti
&c. This portion of the lociure
was illustrated by a peculiar “bill of
fare.’’ The various comestibles were
arranged in a list indicating their res
pective qualities as affording nutri
ment, heat or calcareous matter to the
system. From this list it appeared
that potatoes —contrary to the usually
received opinion—were not a ch’oap
article of rood, containg seventy-four
hundredths of water, and but little,,
nourishment. They should never he
boiled, the true object being to get as
mueh of the water out of thorn as possi
ble. Os grains, rice and oats were
the most largely nourishing; wheat
rye and corn came next. The Scotch
Highlander illustrated the amount, of
courage and viality to be drawn from
oatmeal. His tenacity and bravery ns
a soldier were proverbial. Os meats,
beef afforded the highest proportion of
nutriment, there being twenty-two
pounds of actual vitality in every hun
dred. It should be so prepared as to
avoid any waste of Its juicos. The doc
tors advocated boiling it. Beans and
peas exceed beef in their nutritive
qualities. Os all food, pork was the
least nutritious and the most hurtful. —
It should never be eaten in any way.
No mun could cat fat pork alone for
four consecutive weeks and survive. —
In regard to animal heat two-thirds of
our food went to fatten.and warm us.
Cream, butter and the like, were in
tended for this end. Those articles
contained a large quantity of carbon.
The lungs breathing in Oxygen, to be
mingled with this, generated animal
heat. Hence the importance of giving
full play to the lungs. By a diet regu
lated properly, all dauger of cholera
and contagions and epidemic diseases
would be avoided.
JSgfGcrman emigration this year to
the United States is expected to be
larger than ever before. Over 150,000
emigrants are expected from Germany
within the next 10 months. The
causes, says the New York Herald in
fluencing this immense movement are,
first, the conviction that is gradually
spreading among the masses in Gen
many that our polittcul troubles are
over, secondly the fear ol conscripti >n
at home. In Prussia this later feeling
operates to such an extent (hat in some

CHANGE OF BASE.
Our readers are hereby informed
that we successfully “changed our
base” last week from the second story
of John Stark’s Confectionary to the
front room of the Enterprise printing
office. This splendid feat was per
formed with consummate skill. All
our ba-rtrage and equipments were pre
viously removed, accompanied by'* a
strong editorial escort, and so noise
less was the entire movement, that the
said John did not discover the cvacu-.
ation for several days. Our editorial
head quarters hereafter, therefore, will
be found at the printing office, where
all stragglers and delinquents are or
dered forthwith to report.
BRING IT BACK.
If that fellow, who stole our splen
did gold pen from our sanctum table
last Sunday, don’t bring it back soon,
we will tell something on him he
won’t like to hear. That pen and case
were selected from the splendid as
sortuieht still to be fouhd at Mr. Jer
ger’s Jewelry establishment, and if
lost we are dead broke. Bring it
back, you-you.you smutty fellow.
GEN. SCHOFIELD S ORDER.
Asa foreshadowing of what spirit
will be manifested by the Military
Commander, expected soon to make
his appearance in the Department of
Georgia, Alabama and Florida, we
copy to-day the Order of Gen. Scho
field who has been appointed to and
formally assumed command of the
Military Department of V irginia.—
The bugbear grows smaller as it ap
proaches uearcr. We may reasonably
hope that, with the President on our
side and Commander-in-Chief over the
| operations of the Shernmn bill, it will
be made to bear as lightly as possible
upon the people eflucted by it.
DEATH OF BISHOP SOULE.
The great and venerable Bishop
Soule, of the Methodist Church, eked
ut Nashville, Tenn , on the 6th inst.,
at the advanced ago of 86 years.—
His was one of the giant intellects of
the Methodist Church, and for nearly
a century bore aloft the banner of tire
Cross. The whole cluuch will mourn
his death and recognise the extin
guishment of one of the great lights
of Methodism.
METHODIST EPISCOPAL
CHURCH SOUTH.
The Richmond Dispatch of Tues
day says:
“Rev. Mr. llcnnelt informs us that
it was the proposition to introduce lay
UlCluLoca t-V- iW. nmov'.l. of nil!
church that was carried by the vote of
the Baltimore Conference, aud the
proposition to change the name of the
church was lost.”
From tbo above it will he seen that
the information wo published hist week
on the subject was correct only in part.
Lay representation was successful but
the change of name was defeated.—
It is said, however, that the Illinois*
Conference is expected to unite with
the Southern Church, and that the
change of name may he effected by
the vote of that Conference. The
main point has boon carried. The
admission of lay representation in the
Conferences will ultimately accom
plish the other So far so good.
WHAT GOV. BROWN SAW.
In tho Senate of the I T . S., on tho
sth inst., Mr. Sherman introduced a
bill removing the disabilities of the
Military reconstruction bill from Kx-
Gov. Brown of Ga. and Gov. Patton
of Alabama. “Bill Arp” would say,
wc'supposc, this is what Joseph saw
when he was takeu up into that ejg-_
ceeding high mountuin on the occa
sion of his recont visit to Washing
ton. Well, let. Joseph alone, we had
rather have him for Governor than
Ashburn.

under any of tho disabilities of the
Sherman bill, and that they have not
given aid or comfort to the enemies ol

The Supplement to the Millitary
* Bill.
The following is an abstract of the
bill supplementary to an act entitled
“An act to provide for the more effi
cient government ol the. rgbel States,”
and to facilitate restoration, which was
introduced in the U. S. Senate on
Wednesday last by Senator Wilson,
and referred to the J udieiary Com
mittee. Judging from our telegraphic
synopsis of the bill as finally reported
and passed on Monday, it does not
materially differ from Mr. Wilson’s
draft, though the 6th section was
stricken out;
Section one directs the command
ing officer of each district to cause a
registration to be made before Septem
ber 1, 1867,, in each cotfnty or parish
in his district, ol the male eitiz ris
over 21 years of agg, resident therein,

do hereby solemnly swear (or affirm)
that I am sincerely and earnestly at
tached to the Union grid Government
of the United States ; that I will stead
fastly support the Constitution and
obey the laws ol the United States,
■ hnu that I will, to the best of mv abil
-1 ity, engage oil others to such support
and übedicnoe ; so help me, God ’’
Section two directs the command
ing general, as soon ag the registration
is completed, to cause an election for
delegates to a convention to bo held
on a day not less than thirty days
from data of proclamation of election,
for the purpose of amending jhc. exis
ting or training anew constitution, of
firmly establishing loyal civil govern-
Hi cuts, and passing needful ordinances
to put tho same into operation.
Section three directs that the said
conventions shall ho called on the
l asis of representation on .which tho
number of members of,Congress is ap
propriated.
Section' four provides for the ap
pointment by the. commanding gene
ral of officers or persons to make th3 ■
•registration, preside at tho .elections, I
receive, sort, and count the votos, and
make return thereof aud of the per
sons elected, and he shall then make
proclamation of the persons elco eJ,
and.nqtity within sixty days when aud
where they shall assemble to■ orgßnizc
the convention ; and when tho said
convention shall have amended the
existing or framed anew constitution
in accordance with the net to which*
this is a supplement, it shall he sub.
milted to the people at an election to

days from notice thorobf given by the
convention.
Section five provide* that if the* said
constitution is ratified by a majority
of the votes east, the TVcsident of tho
convention shall transmit the same to
the President of tho United States,
who shall transmit it. to Congress, if

upon its next assembling; and if it
declared by Coiuress to bo in eonfor

New York a short time ago. lie adds ;
“Tho editor is still living, and full of

Mr. Durham's reminder that, the con
stitutions adopted by the Southern
people Mould still have to come before
Congress foi acceptance, he declared
that “Congress would be under the
irresistible presstre to accept any con
stitution so adored as the work of the
people of flic St;te.”‘ This was urged
by Mr. Boutwellfts a reason for having

A Calculation.
Suppose the planters of the South
had raised sufficient 'breadstuff last
year for their own and the geueral
consumption, as was their wont in
years gone by, what would have been
the result upon the general prosperity?
The entire proceeds of the ct tton c*op
would have been saved to the South,
instead, of going abroad for the pur
chase of grain and bacon. We should
have had more money ill the country,
than we knew what to do with, instead
of being next to penniless, as wo nuw
aro. It is true the unfavorable sea
sons had much to do with the failure
of the grain crop last year, but it can
not he denied that tho planters them
selves wore also at fault for not provi
ding against tills contingency by put
ting in a large crop. —Macon Tele
