DISEASES
For the Jeffersonian.
For the Jeffersonian. THE 'FANCY YOUNG MAN."
SKETCHED FROM LIFE.
BY G. F. P.
At ten In the morning he leaves his couch.
Weak, weary, and faint from last night's
ueoaucu ;
A restaurant then for his morningdram.
Su.io, uiKuuTine-ioncr young man.
Hedrinksln the morning, eats breakfast
Is cross as a bear, they've called him too soon ;
He bolts his hot breakfast, and quaffs his rich
Wlllf,
Of cost he's regardless, and 'don't care a dime'
He goes to the barber, who combs his hair,
And studies his toilet with greatest care ;
His fancy moustache is trimmed with great
paiun.
Luxuriant hair exhausts his weak brains.
Hestrutson the pavement,wbiie swinging his
raiim
cane,
And smoking and puffing with lofty disdain
The choicest Havannas, and cigarettes rare.
Assuming a dignified, nonchalant air.
The rings on his fingers, and pin in his shirt

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF JOHN
ACKLAND.
CHAPTER I—CONTINUED.
[In the following extraordinary narrative
nothing is fictitious but the names of persons.]
"A highly honorable one " put in
John Ackland.
My dear sir, that is the very point
in question. Allow me to deserve the
ilattering epithet. Judge Griffin shall I
the case. You must know,
judg, that the unfortunate force of
circumstances (why should I be
ashamed to own it?) has compered
me to keep this gentleman waiting
an unconscionably long time for the
repayment of a considerable sum of
money which be had been good
enough to advance to me, partly on
my personal security. Under these
circumstances, I was naturally anx-
ious that he should not, finally, be a
loser by the generosity of his patience,
It is, therefore, needless to say that
the rate of interest offered by myself
for the renewed postponement of the
liquidation of this loan was, in the
last instance, a nign one. i am nap-Idas
py to say that I have, this afternoon,
bad tlie pleasure oi reiunuing to my I
friend the entire capital of the debt.
On that capital, however, a year's

the capital. But he (wonderful man)

luxury which I have too seldom
enjoyed, the luxury of paying my
debts, and that the capital '

listening with growing impatience to
this speech. ''Pardon me if I con

been so unexpectedly ahem. I re
ally I am not a usurer, air, though
I am a merchant."
Mr. Ackland said all this with the
difficult hesitation of an exceeding
shy man, which he was, and blushing
up to the roots of his hair. As soon
as he had struggled inrougn tne
effort of saying it, and thereby work
ed himself into a state of feeling so
defensive as to be almost ofiensive,
he extricated his arm from the em
brace of his host, and, with an awk
ward bow, hastened to join the ladies
in the arbor.
"Odd man, thatsaid Judge Grif

"but as fine a fellow as ever lived "
John Ackland wrote from Glenoak
to bio cousin Torn, expressing much
pleasure in his visit there. The

heat of th season, and he already

interest on that loan at tne rate oner

would not have raised it so high if
he had ever had any nope of recov

tion of the term. However, there
was no help for it. Ci twright would
nave it. Cartwnght had behaved
exceedingly well, very much like

a great regard for his present host.
In despite of some obvious faults ol
character, and he feared also of con
duct, there was so much good in the
man. U. was a most pleasant com
panion, and had shown the great- st
delicacy in the matter. The man's
affection for his daughter, too, was
quite touching; and the child herself
was changing.
John Ackland then described his
impressions of a slave plantation at
some length. His abhorrence of the
whole system was even more intense

gave a hideous plausibility to the
cool assertion of their owners that
colored humanity is not humanity at
all. He avoided all discussion on
this subject, however, lor, as Tom
knew, there was nothing he hated so
much as controversy. At first he
had felt "a little awkward'' at being
the only Northerner amongst so
many slave proprietors. But now

times with more than usual success ;

great many lucky guesses.
"Well, now," said Cartwright.
;that is not fair on Miss Simpson.
Here is the writing ol a person whom
nobody present not even myself
ever seen. Miss Simpson shall
try again with it, and I will bet you
all she guesses right"
He drew a letter from his pocket,
Und the young lady, after crumpling
it for a moment in her hand, said
hesitatingly.
"This is a woman's writing."
"Right!'' said Cartwright.
"A married woman.'' said Miss
Simpson, more boldly.
'Right again. Any children .-'
"No."
Quite right Married long, eh
"About three months, I think."
' Wonderful !' exclaimed Cart
wright. "It is just three months and
nine days.''
Mr. Ackland looked up, and loosed
and fidgeted in his chair.
"O. Cartwright," cried Judge Ltnt-
fin, "that won't do. You put her
leading questions. '
Well, let her go on by herself,'
said Cartwright.
He had noticed John Ackland's
movements, and was looking hard at
his New England guest Mr. Ack
land blushed again, and turned away
his face.
"But she is not at all happy,'' said
Miss Simpson, musingly.
The devil she's not ! "ried Cart
wright; ''but 'twas a love match,
wasn't it f "
'I think bo," replied Miss Simpson
after a cause, and doubtfully.
"Jy withers are nnwrung, said
Cartwright, looking around. "I swear
I sever saw the lady in my life."
"Does she care more for somebody
else already, ma'am, than for her hus
band?" asked the Judge.
"More, yes,"replied Miss Simpson
"much, no. She must be a strange
character. Not much feeling for any
one, I ehonld say, except for herself.
She lilted him.
"Whom.?" demanded all the lis
tenera together.
"I don5t know. But now I fancy
she half regrets him. There is

already John Ackland had left th

expressed his regret for the uainful
incident ot the preceding night.

Cartwright said to lura that if re
solved on so hasty a departure, he
need not return to Richmond. "By
going across the country," he said,
you ill save a long day's journey,
and catch the Charleston coach at
, which is nearer here than
Richmond. I cm send your luggage
on by the cart this morning, and Ijnd
you a horse to ride there this after
noon. We will dine early, and it you
start from here on horseback at four
o'clock, you will be at before

coach is due there. I will be your
guide across the plantation, and put

cannot possibly miss. I would gladly

You can leave the horse at

him, and can trust hira to bring it
back safely to Glenoak. What say

"That would certainly be my best

"and really I am much obliged I

this departure, I cannot press you to

After dinner, when Jonn Acmand
and his host were mounting their
horses, "We shall have a cool ride,
think,' said Cartwngnt, "and mere
is plenty of time, 60 we can take it
easy. I shouldn't wonder if we put
up some game as we go along. We
had better take our guns with us.''
"I'm not much of a sportsman, I'm

customary blush-

The betting young gentleman, not
finding any suw'icioutlv expressive
retort in t!ie ready made idiom ol
his native tongue, wat carefully pte-
paring one, when the Judge, niter
nosed with,
"Find any game, Cartwright?''
"No " said Cartwright, "not to

Ackland none.
"Guessed I heard a gun about an
hour ago," said the betting young
gentleman.
"Lord blc?s you and me, Judge,''
said Cattwright, "if this child here
ain't going to die, I do believe, of a
determination of intelligence to the
brain. The peculiar acuteness ot
his youthful faculties is something
quite astonishing.''
"Well, I gueas I wasn't born yes

As health, happiness and money,
are desired by all, perhaps an idea
from those who have grown old in
the study of the organization and
preservation of the human body,
might be worth reading. Corydon
Ford, Professor of Anatomy and
Physiology, in a lecture the other
day, to a promiscuous audience ol
medical, law and literary students,
gave the following simple rules on j
eating:
1. Temperance and prudence in
amount
2. Not great variety at once.
3. Not an excess of sLflimal food
1. Meals regular and at regular
hours.
5. Eat slowly and chew thoroughly.
6. Don't eat heartily wheafatigued.
7. Food should vary with the sea
son.
8. Sweetmeats, fruits and nuts
may be eaten with regnlar meals.
I believe the people or HaneocK
county should know how to eat, as I
ain satisfied they know how to drink.
But a great revolution seems coming
regard to the use of alcohol in
the cure and prevention of disease.
Dr. Brown did much harm in his the

wa3 that he killed himself with his

ami of whom the University may well
be proud tells us thatalcoho! should
only be used in a small variety
or
to not a
preventive, but endangers the lives
those using it, and makes them
prone to disease. He stated that in
his treatment of near! 2,000 cases
cholera, and wheu he worked 20
hours cut of 24, and slept in cholera
hospitals for weeks, he never daring
that time tasted a dro of alcohol or

enough aspiring quacks, limbs of the

The Franking Privilege.
The JV. T. Tribwnc, ot tha 15th
inst, has the following in regard to
the franking privilege,, whieb, we
think, will receive a general indorse
ment without regard to party :
Postmaster-General Cresswell is in
earnest in his endeavors to secure
the repeal of the franking privilege,
and the letter which he communicat
ed yesterday to the Committees of
ihe Senate and House is in its way,
as effective a blow as he has yet
Jealt The truth is, our franking
privilege is an enormous anomaly, a
tax npon the transmission of every
letter from a poor mother to her son
in a distant State, a tax on every
newspaper taken by a farm hand or
day laborer. Without the aggravat
ing incubus of the franking privilege
the rates ot postage might he very
soon and very considerably reduced.

miserable squandering policy which -loads

Insanity prevails to a large extent
in California, and especially in San
Francisco. Disappointment in the
pursuit of wealth is considered tha
principal cause. During tha year
ending Oct 31, 1869, no less than
114 persons were examined by tha
Commissioners of Lunacy in San
Francisco. Of this number, three
were discharged at once, seven were
sent to the Home for the Inebriates,
eight to the Almshouse, and tha re
mainder to the Insane Asylum at
Stockton. Only five were reported
cured in, and discharged from, that
establishment Of lUt persons sent
to the Asylum, 118 were single men,
which is supposed to indicate that
bachelorhood is bad for the brains.
But as a large proportion of the pop
ulation of San Francisco consists of
young men wno nave gone mere to
seek their fortunes, the proportion
who become insane is probably not
greater than among married men or
the women of the place. But the
gross amount of insanity is very
great for a city of the size ot San
Francisco.
Tus London correspondent of the
Chicago Journal contains, the follow
ing napleasant reference to hopeful
royalty : The Princess of Wales has
another daughter, cow about thirty
six hours old, and mother and child
are both doing welL For "this poor
lad3so badly treated by her reckless
and abandoned husband, there is hut
one universal feeling of tenderness,
eojnpassion and respect. For her
consort, royal though be be, the uni
versal feeling is one of undisguised
contempt. It ia very bad to sea a
yoang nan in his position throw
himself away as be has done, but
there does not seem oue redeeming
feature in his whole character. Ho
says himself that he never er pacts to
be king, and seems disposed to enjoy
himself in his peculiar ushion (a very
bestial one) while he can. An explo
sion must come sooner or later, for
be is over head and ears in debt,
and the Queen steadily refuses to
come to his assistance, which would
in fact do no good- He would waste
in riotous living the fortunes of a
hundred Rothschilds if he had them.
Losdojt is alarmed at the near ap
proach of a formidable disease which
has not been known in England for
a period of thirteen years This dis
ease, which carries a .very terror in
its name "Famine Fever is, we
believe, unknown to our more fortu.
nate country, except by tradition.
We are told that it is dangerous
from its extreme commnnicability ;
easily caught and easily carried from
place to place. The distress and
misery, followed by weakness and
exhaustion, which have brought an
insidious disease npon England's
unprotected workingmen, have not,
happily, lound a parallel in America.
We have the authority of the Lon
don Times for the assertion that dur
ing the thirteen years, "the 30,000
cases treated in the Loudon Fever
Uospital included not a single speci
men of this particular feyer.'' Of
the present appearance of this terri
ble plague, squalor and destitution
form, no doubt, the immediate cause,
but what the ultimate ? Let the de
serted mills ot Lancashire answer.
