THE 111 MAN BODY.
It Fluctuation* of Welch! Varylnn Every
Moment.
From the Jer.cy City Herald.
There are few people but like to be
weighed occasionally; some do it regularly
at certain hours, before and after meal*, or
taking a bath, etc. Yet there are few things
so changeable at the weight of the body;
indeed, it is rarely the same for a few min
utes togetuer; and if a man were to sit on
one of the plates for a whole day, the other
plate would be constantly oscillating within
certain limits. The slate of the weather and
the time of the year influence our weight.
In summer weather we grow fatter than we
are in winter—such is the general rule; yet
moat people believe that hot weather makes
us leaner. It is true we eat less and perspire
more; these are certainly two cases ol lose;
but on the other hand, we expend less to
keep up the temperature of the body, and
moreover, we drink more; and our bevera
ges possess the curious property of increas
ing our fat. Beer, and even pure water, are
great fattening agents. Cattle reared for
slaughter get a great deal to drink, which
increarses their bulk considerably; the tis
sues are gorged with liquid, and so the
weight increases, but the system is weakened.
In winter the organism has to be provided
with heat, we eat more, but also expend
more to keep up the temperature of the body;
then also we drink less, so that, on the whole,
the loss is greater than the gain, and we
grow lean. In short, we fatten when, under
ordinary circumstances, we burn more of
the food we have taken, and we, therefore,
in breathing, exhale carbonic acid in pro
portion, We begin to emit less of the lat
ter in April; its amount dimineshes consid
erably in July, August and September and
attains its minimum about the autumnal
equinox It then goes on increasing from
October, and we begin to lose the substance
gained during the summer. From Decem
ber to March, we remain nearly stationary.
To conclude, as we consume less in sum
mer than in winter, all other circumstances
remaining the same, we are heavier in hot
weather than we are in winter.
Sitting Bull.
Stahding Rook, I). TANARUS., Jan. 11, —Two In
dians arrived at Cheyenne River Agency
about ten days ago, direct from Sitting Bull's
camp, which they report on Dry Fork of the
Missouri river, about thirty miles from Fort
Peck, M. T. They represent Sitting Bull as
prosperous arid happy as a bellicose Indian
could wish to be. He bad 190 lodges ofhis
people with him, and about 1100 of these were
his faithful soldiers. The half breeds from
the British possessions were supplying him
with ammunition in abundance Cart loads
of cartridges, powder, and balls had reached
his camp. Moreover, he had been tendered
by them a share of their country. This
kind offer Sitting Bull is at present under
no necessity of accepting, as he is comforta
bly situated where he is. He is in the midst
of vast herds of buffalo, has all the arms
and ammunition he needs, and does not fear
the United States troops in the least, as he
can get out of their way if they push him
hard, which they have not yet done.
A report sent to the press some weeks ago,
to the effect that Lieut. Baldwin, with lUU
men of the Fitth United States Infantry, bad
driven Sitting Bull into the Bad Lands, is
laughed at by all who know the facts. Sit
ting Bull does not wish to fight unnecessa
rily. He simply moves his camps and pre
pares to resist. If pushed bard, he fights;
and thus far, it must be confessed, he has
fought successfully. It is. known here, that
in the affair with Lieut. Baldwin, there was
no fighting worthy of the name. The Lieu
tenant prudently withdrew his forces when
Sitting Bull took up the position he had se
lected, after getting his women, children, and
property in a safe place. If bombastic des
patches to the newspapers and official reports
of commanding generals, colonels, and even
lieutenants could put an end to the Sioux
war and annihilate Sitting Bull, we should
now be at peace, and the redoubtable Sioux
chieftain and all his followers been killed
long ago.
Since Gen. Sherman reported Sitting Bull
as “flying beldre Miles, and as certain to be
killed, captured or driven to the British pos
sessions,” ahd as having ‘‘but a remnant of
thirty lodges,” it is learned that Miles qui
etly returned to his post on the Yellowstone
to rest, while Sitting Bull increased hi
“remnant of thirty lodges” to 190, and has
procured ammunition and all other requi
sites for carrying on war as heretofore.
It will be seen that the Sioux Indian ques
tion stands thus: The Indians have lost
about 100 warriors killed in battle during the
last year. About 150 more warriors have
surrendered themselves at the several agen
cies, The hostiles then can take the field
in the spring with only about 25J less than
they had when they destroyed Gen. Custer’s
command on the 25th of June, 1876.
What the Government intends to do next
spring toward a renewal of the war is a
question that cannot be answered here; and
I find that neither the military officers nor
the Indian Agent can give me any informa
tion on this point. It is certain, however,
that the operations of the army during the
last year totally failed to accomplish their
object.
Sheep ItaUlue In Florida.
About one year ago Capt. J. H. Stearns
and Mr. Rufus Andrews, both from Maioe,
located in the Big bend of Tulogee, eight
miles south of Bristol, in Liberty county,
and enclosed an area of land ol about 10,000
acres, six miles by three, by fortyfying
creeks with bars and gaps, for the purpose
of raising sheep. They purchased between
three and four hundred head in southwestern
Georgia and gav them live different past'
ures surrounded by water, which sheep will
not cross if bars or gaps are used to prevent
them. The laud is open pine woods and
black jack growth, with a wide leaf grass
and a flat leaf upon which the sheep live
except in burning time, which is in the
month of February, when they will eat every
species of natural vegetation, including wire
grass which they will not touch at other
times. They have lost a few head of the old
ones by the change of climate, and. also, a
few by the depredations of wild animals,
and these latter enemies have to be constant
tly watched. Last summer two shepherd
dogs, very young, were brought out from
Maine, and soon died from the effects of a
change of climate. In April last, shearing
season, about three pounds of wool per head
was realized.
In August last the rams and ewes were
separated to prevent lambs.dropping in the
winter when the grass is killed by the frost,
and united them in October. In the shear
ing time every sheep was carefully washed
with a strong soft brine to prevent a disease
called the scab, and, also to prevent the
sheep from taking cold, which cleansing had
the desired effect. At the same time, and
for two months afterwards the noses of the
sheep were tarred to keep the grub-fly from
depositing eggs in their nostrils, after which
time the season of the fly is over. The sheep
are now in a fine healthy condition, and are
about to lamb, quite in contrast with the
other sheep in the neighborhood which have
not received any attention and care.
Messrs. Stearns and Andrews seem to be
confident of making a success of sheep rais
ing. and we hope their most sanguine anti
cipations may be realized, not only for the
reason of a proper remuneration of their en
terprise and labor, but because it will open
up anew source of industrial wealth and
profit, in this section of the State. —Quincy
Herald.
“Miltonian periods of Mr. Evarts’ prose”
is what the Cincinnati Gazette calls those
ponderous sentences. It is a vile slander
on Milton, who is always clear in his Latin
style. Mr. Evarts is obscure because he
fails short of his Latin models. No En
glish scholar will fail to condemn it as a
faulty style, but its gravest fault is in its
falling short of being perfect of its kind.

Sold by Purcell, Ladd k Co..Richmond, Va., and

This incomparable preparation for the Uair is
commended to the public on its own merits.
It prevents the Hair from falling off, producing

dandruff, and cures diseases of the scalp. Try it
and judge for yourself.
[From Rev. E. T. Baird, Bec’y of Publication of
Presbyterian Church South.]
Richmond, July 27,187 i.
The Xanthine is the only hair dressing I have
ever used which has removed the dandruff from
the scalp and made ray hair soft and pliable. It
has also restored my hair to its natural color; and
by occasionally using it as a hair dressing, I have
no doubt it will preserve the color.

Xaothine Cos., Richmond, Va.:
I have usnd the Xanthine now for three years,
and have induced others to buy it, and have nev

claim for it. It is an excellent tonic, a pleasant
dressing, removing and preventing dandruff and
all unpleasant itching, promoting and preserving
the natural growth and color of the hair, and ren
dering it glossy and pliable. I confidently,
cheerfully, knowingly recommend it.

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel
known agriculturist, Solon Robinson: ... . .....
All the farmers were of the "well to do” sort, sud some of them, who have turned their atte tion
to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to c y y,
aud surface gently undulating, intersected with small Btr<ms and occasional wet■ *• “
which deposits ol peat or musk are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, tr it
has been exhausted of its natural fertilitv.
It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable
condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this Bide of the Western P rairi * B ',
of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a
hundred years ago.
The ecologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a
marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in
the form or indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia
ry formation; and this marly substanceis scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted
form, and in the exact condition most Asily assimilated by such plants as tho farmer desires to
cultivate.
