French Brandy-American Corn and Eye-
Since the failure of tho grapu crop in France, the Brandy makers have been driven to various shifts to obtain the raw material, and for the last three years, large quantities of the results of their beet root used in the making of sugar, hag been distilled into a species of rum, which hy being passed through pulverized cliarcoal, jg robbed of its oils aud thus rendered a neutrjil spirit, knowu in this country as pure spirit.— It is colorless aud without auiell or taste, ex¬ cept the peculiar biting J property, which is common to alcohol of all kinds.
Tho French Brandy maker, instead of send¬ ing us the pure braudy distilled from the grape, has given us a compound, made of a few gal. Ions of Cognac Brandy added to some ten times its bulk of this beet root epirit.
The foreign demand for Braudy, however, has become so great, that even this supply has proved inadequate, and tbouaauda of gallons of pure spirit made from Coru and Kye, aro now being shipped from this country, for tbe use of the French Brandy maker.
Charcoal with us ia so much cheaper than in France, that our diatillers are enabled to make ¦pure Hpirit, pay tho freight to France, and then undersell the French manufacturers in their own markets. This uperaiion of pure spirit making may thus be understood, ijuppose twelve leach tubs, each lilted ivitU pulvtrized charcoal, and each supplied ou its top with a different kind of liquor, say it you please, un one, French Brandy, ou another, JamaicaBum on a third, Bye Whiskey, and so on. After this liquor has pjissed ibruugh the eharcoai, it will run out at ih« bottom of all the tubs uUke the charcoal abstracting all the oil, color, &,c. and producing a neulral spirit composed of j ..^alcohol alone. Thus, it will be readily under- Btood, that the French Brandy maker, who has a small quantity of brandy of high Havor, can duplicate the quantity mauy times, by the nao of pure spirits, aud however sorry Braudy drinkers may be, that the quality of Iheir favorite beverage is to be materially injured, at least as to its amount of llavor, or, however repugnant the coavertion of large amounts of grain into alcohol may be to tho advocates of temperance, still these will not alter tho fact, that tho increased demaud for Com and Rye for this increased manufacture, will materially affect our markets, and secure to our farmers a large price for their products. Thirty millions gf gallons of wine have been annually made into brandy, and more than half this quantity wiU now bo required in the form of pure epirita made from American Grain.
Noble Sentimesis.—The following noblo aentiments, enunciated by the late Silas Wright, ^e particularly appropriate at the present time, when sectionalism and disunionism are rife in the land:
•K there be those among ua who, misled by a mistaken sympathy f or by sudden excitement, upon any aubject, are forgetting their obligations to the vhole country, to the constitution and the Union, let ua use every effort ot persuasion and example to awaken them to a sense of their dangerous error. If those who, for the sake of private .nterest, perflonal ambition or momen¬ tary political success, arc willing to experiment upon tho public passions, to treat lightly their constitutional obligations, to foment sectional jealousies and raise up geographical distinc¬ tions within the Union, let the absccnce of our oountenance and support convince such that the peesonal gratification or public aerrices of any man are not objects ot safficleut magni tude to be gained at the expense of tiie harmo¬ ny of the, couiitrj, the peace of the Union, or a single letter in the Hat ofour constitutional duties. If among lu there be any—whioh Hea¬ ven forbid!—who ore prepared, for aay earth- WJ object, to dismember our confederacy, and desuoy that constitution which binds-us togeth¬ er, let the fate of an Arnold be theirs, and let the detestation and scorn of every American be their constant companion until, like him they I- BhaU abandon a cuuntry whose rich bleBainea I    th«y are no longer worthy to emoy.'
EXAGGEa&TION.
ITS PERILS AND ITS PENALTIES.
"A U.KiaiT BASK AND VILE."
One of the prevailing evils of the day, is a disposition to exaggerate. It prevails in some degree in almost every circle. No event can take place, either in public or private lifo, that is not* misrepresented and exaggerated, and to such au extent, that is is sometimes impossi¬ ble to aBccrtain the real truth. Tho credulous are thus often imposed upon, while tho cau¬ tious and hesitating rarely believe anything,— In the social world, this spirit and disposition exist to a frightful extent. Extraxagrant phrases are employed in describing trifling events, and the ordinary incidents of every-day life, aro magnified into something important aud serious. If a gcntlAan call twice upon a lady in tho samo week, they arc reported by Bome prying looker-on as 'engaged,'and thia storj' travels from lip to lip with such rnpiditj' that it is almost impossible to contradict it ful¬ ly and cffectuallj'. The consequences aro not only unpleasant, but often painful. And so in cases of disaster. If a fire take placo, the amount of damage is generally trebled by the first reports, and if a failure occur, tho liabili- ities arc multiplied, aud thus the community are excited and deceived-
The .scat of government at Washington ia the focus of iuvoution aud exaggeration, na^ to say of downright falsehoods. The most improba¬ ble stories are coustantly put into circulation from that I'ertile manufactory. The ni<ire startling the better—at leist so the authors seem to imagine. They create a sensation, at¬ tract; attcntitiu, and thus the end is answered. The competition, too, is so keen among some of the letter-writers, that when they aro deficicut in facta, they do n'ot hesitate to call upon fan¬ cy. The public has been deceived so often, that more than tlie ordinary suspiciuu attaches to Wawhingtou rumors, and a couaiderabic dis¬ count ia always made for the spirit of exagger¬ ation.
But it U the di.sposition to speak grandilo¬ quently upon trifling atfairs, and to magnify the mole-like evont.s of human life into momen- tuous atid mountainous matters, that wo desire more particular to censure. Tho evil ie one that grows from day today, and thus in the course ofa year or two, the habit becomes p.o fixed,ithat n. 'plain, unvarnished tale' is alto¬ gether out of the question. Nay, all ch.aracter for veracity isdestroyed, anditisimpoaaiblcfor a listener to decide how much of truth and how much of falsehood is embodied in the story that is told or the incident that is described.— Mauy persons become addicted to this practice without recognizing or appreciating ita perni¬ cious effect, and indeed unconscious that they indulge in a habit so vile. They at first intend merely to embelliah aome ordinary affair, and then they follow up tho experiment again and again, until at last they cannot speak the sim¬ ple truth, because, in brief, it is too plain aud unadorned fortlie excited, extravagant and ex- nggcratcdspiril to wliich they have accuslomed themselves. A s-ad mistake, and one, we re¬ peat, tiiiit ia full of evil   consequences.
Tiie beauty of truth cannot be commended too highly, while its intlaenee upon character and happiness can only be fully appreciated cither by those who have watched in others the general effects of error and ^exaggeration, or who havo experienced them in themselves.— M.any and striking illustrations could be given, but there ia scarcely au individual who cannot call before his mcDtul vision, thu image of some iovetorate cx.aggerator or falsifier,—ono who either hra not a due appreciation of truth, its beauty and its sublimity, or who, having be¬ come addicted to extravagance of speech, and exaggeration in detail, can never bo relied upon, but on the contrary, is always listened to with doubt and distrust.
There are two classes who indulge in this weakness or vice. One may be regarded aa thoughtless, innocent, and intending no harm, and the other as jealous,. deliberate, and ma¬ licious. With tho former, the practice maj' bo regarded as a weakness, and with the latter a vice. The former speaks idly, rashly and ex¬ travagantly, simple with the (object of hearing themselves talk, and creating a momentary sensation, while the latter delight in hunting up the trifling errors and imperfections of their friends and neighbors, and magnifying them into serious, if uot unpardonable offences. But the Iiabit ia a vile one in every point of view. It is full of mischief, if not of guilt, nnd it should be avoided by all who wish well to themselves and to others. Truth ia one of the brightest jewels of moral character. It not only adorna und dignifies, but its lustre, like that of tho diamond, attracts, embellishes and beautifies.
Faei.naceous Alime.nt Obtained from Straw.—The attention of agriculturalists in France has been recently directed to the dis¬ covery of converting straw into a kind of bran. This discovery has been claimed by two indi viduals. The first is a miller near Dijon, of whose name we are not info.rmed, who, it is said, on trying tbe mill-stone of a new mill, discovered the possibility of converting straw into a nourishing food. The aecond, M. Joa. Maitre, founder of the fine agricultural estab¬ lishment of Vilotte, near Chatillon.
This distinguished agriculturist, known for the purity aud perfection of hia breeds of sheep, conceived the idea of converting into farina, not only the straw of wheat, and other grains, but of h.iy, trefoil, lucern, sainfoin, &.c. His efforts arc said to have been perfectly suc¬ cessful, and his diacovery arrived at—not by chance, but hy long cxpcrimeut and research The aliment which has produced is said to be a complete substitute for bran. It is given to sheep and lambs, who consume it with avidity, and may be giveu to all other gramnivorous animals, aa a grateful and substantial food,
M. Maitre, with the view of bringing th« process to perfection, has ordered a mill for its manufacture, to be erected in the midst of his large farms, and he is preparing to commu¬ nicate a report to tho Royal Society of Agri- culture on the advantages in rural and domes tic economy to be derived from this prepara¬ tion. Wo are not at tho present moment in¬ formed of the nature of this process. If it be a nimplc grinding of the hay or fodder, and a separation of some of ita fibrous matter, we can easily imagine the advantages that may result from it. Wo know iu this country that the more chopping of straw adds greatly to its powers, by facilitating mastication and diges- ^=—     We moy believe that a more perfect
tion.
comminution of its parts will produce a cor¬ responding effect, and extend very wildly the uses of straw and otber fodder, as a means of feeding our domestic animals.—Quarterly Jour, of Agriculture,
UEMAaKABLE pROPHECY I—Friar Bacon, who was born in the year 1214, thus remarkably prophesied:

Philadelpkia, Nov., 1864.
Bear 'SpiriC—The celebrated Dogberry aaid that reading and writings come by nature. I bave'^o desire to dispute tho truth of that as¬ sertion, but if he had substituted hunting, it should receive from me aflat denial. Amongst the many things that I havo tried my hand at during my sojourn upon this planet, that art has been wofully neglected, not ao muoh for the want of a love for it, as the simplo fact that birds and wild gome do not flourish ex¬ tensively in cities, ond I had not the time to seek it in the country. However, a few times within a year or two my ambition boa been aroused, and I have indulged slightly in the amusement, but without very satisfactory re¬ sults.
A few days since, at the solicitation of sev¬ eral of ray friends, I waa induced to join them for a short gunning expedition ; nnd after hav¬ iug procured all the neceasoriea, we jumped aboard the Pcnnaylvania railroad cars, and in due time were landed ot onr destination, a short distance this aide of Lancaster, in this State. A walk of about two mile brought us to the farmhouse of a friend^ where we put up for the night. One of the party having notified his friend whose guests we were, of the contem¬ plated visit of several distinguished sportsmen from the cily, the news had been circulated around tbe neighborhood, and we were apolo¬ getically informed that wo were to have a con¬ siderable augmentation to our firce, not with a desire to interfere with us, in the least, but mainly to witness the terrible execution which would be mado upon the game: they would also havo with them several valua-ble dogs, whicii we would find very useful.
This nrr.angement met the approbation of all hands, and after a hearty supper, and a few 'smiles;* wo retired. After an excellent night's sleep, wc awoke about dai'ligbt, eager for tho fray. A hearty' breakfast waa aoou dispatched aud the party, numbering fnurteen guns, seven doga, and three stout negro boys to carry game (two of which I bribed for my apecial use,) sallied forth, not being daunted by a chilly North-east wind, which penetrated every pore and threatened rain every minute.
Out of courtesy, the 'city fellers'composed the 'vanguard,' and in a short time a rabbit was started, when some one fired,^ but missed him. Soon a second was started nnd proot- red, then a third, a fourth, a fifth, and asixtii; but from aome causo, not yet satisfactorily ex¬ plained to my mind, nothing came uear me.— It is true that once a rabbit jumped up about ten feet ahead of me, but not anticipating such au event, I was not prepared to fire, and alao that I surprised a splendid flock of partridges but they frightened me so that I forgot to fire until it was too late. At last however, fortune smiled upon me. About six feet in front of mo I saw a rabbit sitting, and being some dis¬ tance from the rest of the company, I thought to make sure of him, I would take him as he was, though I was foarful of blowing him to fltoms. In order to prevent so groat a calam¬ ity, I prepared to end his e.xiatenco in the moat scientific manner and taking aim at the top of his head, I fired, but without success; a sec¬ ond shot with the same result; re-loaded and let him have a third, but still he moved not; a fourth and his position was unchanged. I now concluded that I had certainly killed him, and in such a handsome manner that he dared not fall over, and walked deliberately towards him, for the purpose of picking hira up, when, greatly to my surprise, he jumped up and run, and thus escaped me. Several of my comrodes having heard the reports, expected some terri¬ ble slaughtering- hod taken place, and come running toworda me in great haste. Seeing me without any fruits of my labor, they desir¬ ed to know what had been the excitement. I replied that I had seen a knot hole in the fence, and wished to know if I could shoot threuEh it.
It was now about two o'clock, and bad been raining heavily for somo time,* and I was wet to the akin, but still my courage failed not, and on I went with an energy worthy of a bet¬ ter cause, or, at least, of bettor success. The rest of the party hadj been very successful —each one having as much gome as he could well carry. Twice after I fired in the air, with the hope of frightening something, that I might enjoy tho pleasure of seeing it fly away, but nothing was visible, and eventually hopo do- gerted me, and finding a secluded spot which Bheltet-edme from the rain, laat down to await the return of my friends, who by this time were some distance away.
Whilst caculoting the_advantages of this sort of faith, I discovered on tho top of a dead tree, neor by, a woodpecker, which I folt confident I could procure, and thus earn some little repu¬ tation. Quietly I crept from my hiding place, aud, commenced operations upon him, which lasted for near a half hour, without any suc¬ cess. As I waa loading the fourth round, the rest of the party joined mo, and all wero anxi- -'ous to know at what I had been spending so much ammunition. I informed thom that I had fired seven shots at that bloody bird up there, aud had not been able to frighten him away. I then let him hovo tho eighth, when, doubtless, Jrom fear of the other guns, with a chirp of defiance, he flew away. Despair now seized me, and I determined to quit. I tried to buy a little gome, but nobody would sell, and I was left .like Wol.-'?y, 'to tho mercy of a rude wave that must forever hide me.*
After serious reflection, I have arrived tothe conclusion that in the art of shooting I ought not to bo considered accomplished; and if any of my friends have placed me in that position, they have done me groat injustice. When nest I tiiko a 'day's shooting,' you shall hear from Yours truly,        Two-Ten.
XTseinl Reading.
It is frequently necessary for editors, like preachers, to enforce by reason nnd argument, good old doctrines of personal and public poli¬ cy, and we do not know one that requires to be 80 often alluded to as that which is embroced iu the title of this article. But, as tho finest strain of roosic soon gluts and palls the ear by frequent repetition, so does a continual harp¬ ing on one aubject—however necessary and useful it may be—soon satiate the mind.— Prudence, therefore, compels us to select this subject only at considerable intervals of time, and under peculiar public circumstances.
At the present time, amid oil tho cries of distress which come up from every quarter and amid all the general prostration of buai- neas, wo aro creditably informed that foolish amusements and trashy literature were never better patronized in our city. We are convinced from the great number of flaming advertise¬ ments of silly and contemptablo new books, that the sole of them must be enormous. Wo think this affords no great oause for national congratulotion, as it regards on improvement in general inteUigence or taste. Real useful works—those whioh appeal to the understand¬ ing, and exercise the mora noble faculties of the mind, have but a limited circulation in comparison with blood-ond-thunder stories ^jjj puerile works of fiction. This ia to be regret¬ ted, for, as food and drink ore to the body bo is reading to the mind. Qood reading makes the mind healthy and strong; poor reading on the other hand, befoola and eneryatea it. As much care should be exercised la selecting read¬ ing for its quality, as in selecting food; forthe mind is as susceptible of being poisoned as the body. There are thousands upon thousands whose minds have become so debilitated by wretched literature, that they cannot, sit down and read any aolid article whatever; and these persons—at least many of them—might have become ornaments of society, or might have distinguished themselves in many important positionB, if they had not chosen ^o feed upon tho husks, in preference to tho solid golden grains, of literature.
Any mind, however strong, may become weak by a great deal of indifferent reading. Youth however, i^ the most trying period of life, as it reBp«cta the formation of literary ta8t«8 and
habits.^  Parents,   therefore, should be  very       FAOETIA IN SKAIiL PABGEL8. ' watchful of the books and periodicals which j     Somo Vag enumerates the following among they allow in their families.    They should en-1 jho 'drops of comfort generaUy administered
by friends;*—Reading a newspaper on a rail-
deavor to induce habits of reflection in their children, and enjoin upon them the study of such authors, and the reading of snch period- icola as incite the miud to profitable thinking. To do this, the means should always be adap¬ ted to the enda desired to be obtained. Can any father who has a son learning a trade, suppose that his ion con ever become an intel¬ ligent mechanic (as he would no doubtiike to see him,)if he never reads a. periodical devoted to science andmeohanioism? The thing is pre- ' poaterous. The young mechanic who never reads a solid useful work relating to his trade will drag at tho lower spoke of the wheel; he must be insane if he supposes there is any chance for him distinguishing himself in his trade, or at anything else, unless he improves his mind by storing it with useful information. Every young man, therefore, who desires to excel and to distinguiBh himself, must be core- ful of his reading. Many of thoae books and periodicals which weak minds call dry, ore the choiceats gifts of literature Wo know that it requires much effort to acquire o liking for reading those works and periodicals which give the mind labor. It is a hard task to concen¬ trate tho thoughts upon an author, when at the end of every page the mind must pause to re¬ volve what hai been read, and seek some rest but young men should endeavor at all hazards, to acquire a liking for such kinds of reading, for those that do uot, never can risp to be men¬ tally influential or respected. There are two maxima, viz: 'knowledge ia power,' and 'there is no royal road to knowledge,' both equally true, and deserving to be deeply engraven on every young man's mind, for no ignoront mon ever has or ever can become powerful or dis¬ tinguished, and uo man can become intelligent witiiout labor.
Will our young people think of these things, and apply their hearts to wisdom, so that with all their getting they may get underutanding.
Uen with Tails-
AutheiUic De-tails translated from the Oct. number of the Gazette Uebdomadaire, by John W. Green, M. D. Dr. Hubach, Hospital Physi¬ cian nt Constantinople, hasaddreaad a letter on the subject of Men with Tails, whichaddsmany interesting details to tbose already received fr.om travelers. We will briefly lay before our readers the information, more or leas positive, which we possess on the existence of this curi¬ ous variety of tho human species, and of which the eorltest indication dates bock as for as 1 ll77. N. r. Medical Times.
Mn Editou : At this time, when attention seems to be concentrated on the subject of a tail-bearing race called Niam-Niams, it gives me much pleasure to be able to add some ob- flervotiona which I have had occasion to make at Constantinople.
In 1852, I saw for the first time one of this race, anegreas; struck by thia phenomena, I interrogated ber maater, a slave merchant. 1 waa informed by him that there exiated, in Ni- gritia, Alrioa, a tribe called Niam-Niams; that all the members of this tribe bear the caudal appendix ; aqd, as exaggeration is a necesalty to the Oriental imagination, he assured me that he had seen tails two feet in length. The one observed by mc was smooth, and without hair, was two inches in length, and terminated in a point The negreas was black aa ebony; her hair was crisped ; the teeth where white, thick and inserted upon the alcvolar processes strong¬ ly inolining outwards. The four ^inea were filed; her eyes were injected with blood. She ate raw meat with much relish, clothes were disagreeable to her; 'son intelligence dtait au niveau de celle dea gens de son esp(-ce.*
Her master had offered her for sale for six months, at an exceedingly low price, but was unable to sell her. The honor which she in¬ spired not residing in her tail, but in her taste (which she took no pains to conceal) for hu¬ man ficsh.
Her tribe eat the flesh of prisoners taken in battles with the neighboring nations, with whom thoy are constantly at war.
When any of them die, the relatives, instead of interring the body, oat it; from this cause there are no cemetries in the country.
They do not all lead a wandering life,.many of them construct huts with the branches of trees; they manufacture the implements of war and of agriculture, cultivating maize, grain, &c.    Cattle arc also bred by them.
The Niam-Niams have a language which is altogether primitive; it contains many Arabic words. They go entirely naked, and wish for nothing but to satisfy their sensual appetitea. Mes fils couchent avec leurcs m(jrea, les frerea aveo leurs, aoocurs, etc.; there is a frightful pellmoll. The atrongest among them becomes their chief; ho it ia who loads them to battle, and it is he who divides the booty. It is not known whether they have a religion; but it ia probable they have not, from the very great facility with which they embrace any that is taught them. It is very difficult to civilize them, their instinct leading them always to search for humon flesh ; there are examples of slaves who have killed and then devoured tho children of their masters who had been confi ded to their caro-
I sow last year, a man of this same race, having a tail once inch and a half long covered with a few hairs. He seemed to be about thir¬ ty-five years of age was robust, of good con- stitntion, eqony blaok, and had the some par-* ticular conformation of the lower jaw, spoken of above, i. e., the alvoolos inclined outwards. Their canines are filed in order to diminish thoir mastiaotory foroe.
The iViam-iWamy ore endowed with Herculean strength. The merchants reject them, as they are so very difficult to subjugate, and the peo¬ ple fear to confide in thom the guard of their houses
I know at; Constantinople, the son of an apotheccary, ten years of age, who was born witb a tail, one inch in length; he belongs to the white Caucasian race. One of his - ances¬ tors presented the same anomaly. These pho¬ nomena are generally regarded, in the East, la a sign of brute force.
The Turks have known, for a long time, this race of men, and are very much astonished that acientific Europe seems to ignore their existence at thia late day. Hdbsch.
To sum up by a scientific view of the oose, the existence of 'meu with tails' appears jncon testable; and if travelers raise doubts on the subject, it is probably bocauae they confounded tho Niam-NiamB with a tail, with other Niama, neighbors of the first, anthropophagi like them, but deprived of the appendix.

MoEAL HONBMr.—They that cry down mo¬ ral honesty, cry down that which is a great part of religion, my duty towards God, and my duty towards man. What care I to see a man run after a sermon, if he cozens and cheats as soon as he comes home? On the other hand, morality must not bo without religion; for if ao it may change as I see convenience. Religion must govern it He tbat has not religion to govern hia morality, ia not a dram better.than my mastiff dog; so long aay oli stroke him, .and please him, and do not piaoh him, he will play with you as finely aa may be, he is a very good moral mastig; but if you hurt him, he will fly iu your faoe, and tear out your throat

He culled at the house of his charmer a night or two ago, and was asked by'l}oth to doclaro hia intentions.

Tbe race of crusty old bachelors, so far from dying out as It should do, seems on the contra¬ ry to increase daily.    Almostyvery paper we pick up bears evidence of the fact.

" Who cvtjr know n lady, good or ill, Wbo did not dearly lovo her own sweet will'."

A hypocritical condoler with hia misfor¬ tune once visited him iu'tho madhouse, and said in a whinning tone:—'What brought you here, Mr. Hall!'

Children and fools, says the old adage, al- waj-a tell the truth. 'Mother sent me,' said a little girl to a neighbor, 'to ask you to come and take tea with her this evening.' 'Did she say at what time, my dear?' 'No ma'am; she only aaid ahe would ask yon, and then tho thing would be off her mind; that waa all she said.'

" La' sakes," answered the old lady looking over her apectaclea. " Ikey don't play ou the Pianny, but I shouldn't wonder if he could wbistio it. Ikey put up those wicked cordp, and whistle Euchre for the gentleman."

A Haud Hit.—Rev. Mr. Foster, of Now Sa¬ lem, Mass., was a facetious gian, and usually ready at joko nnd repartee. He had a pariah- ionir, a carpenter by trade, pretty well stocked with ready wit, and withal, somewhat given to boasting. One day while at wirk for his min¬ ister, hewing a stick of timber, tho carpenter was boasting in his usual style of tho marvels he could perform. The pastor, to put an ex¬ tinguisher upon him, said: 'Governor, (his nick-name) do you think you can make a dev¬ il ?' 'Make a devil I' responded the Governor, *wby, yes ; oli yes!' (his broodoxe moving a little more rapidly) 'here, put up your foot- you wont tho least olterotion of any man I ev¬ er saw!'
