Mental Influence of Poverty.
Whether circumstances master
and makes the man, or whether ho
is capable of controlling them is ft
question that hits not yet been satis-
factorily settled, and which is, per.
haps, practically insoluble. No
doubt a certain stringency ot cir-
cumstances tends to develop strength
ot character resources of intellect
mid capacity for endeavor that
might otherwise never be ascertained
or brought to account; bat those
qualities so serviceable to ones suc-
cess may in the struggle for exist-
ence bo exhausted cr consumed in
attending petty details instead of
being engaged in doing the largei
work of life. An English essayist
in discussing the mental effects of
pecuniary distress, inquires why the
sufferings that arise from poverty
should bo more dreaded than those
that come from any other cause.
lie thinks that tiiero can scarcely
be a doubt that pecuniary trouble,
is of all trouble the one that most ah,
sorbs its victim, that most complete-
ly destroys his strength, that most
certainly evolves the despairing
sense of lonolinesss which is the pre-
cursor and cause of self-destruction.
The intensity of this particular
trouble is duo, the writer thinks, to
the fact that it is always present. The
tiinn who feels it, feels it ill-ways to-
day as yesterday, waking or asleep,
in pleasure or in pain, and will, he
thinks, feel It more Intensely to-
morrow. This strained and probing
ed tension is too much for most, nerves
and the mind bends before the pres,
save of protracted despair. Hut, why,
the writer asks, Is this tension so
extreme 1 Why do men, and especi-
ally men just outside the limit of
poverty, fear poverty so much more
especially tor others, than they fear
much greater evils ! Why, tor in-
stance, will a father, half-maddened
that his daughter will be reduced to
manual labor, remain comparatively
tranquil when informed that all the
symptoms which indicate cancer are
present in the object of his affections!
The popular answer that poverty, in
our artificial state of society, involv-
es all miseries—hunger, over-work
humiliation—is scarcely, sufficient ;
for human beings able to judge
would choose them nil in preference
to cancer. The writer believes that
two reasons may be given for this
peculiar horror of poverty. The
fact is, that men fear most those
troubles which they most clearly
realize, and that, with the majority
of mankind the imagination
is so feeble that they can real
ize very few. The sufferings that
Hriso from pecuniary distress are
keenly understood. “What will
become of iny children when I am
gone 1” is a thought w hich tortures
many a parent because his own ex-
mid persistently because the throat
otied evil is one that he feels he
ought to bo able in some way to
avert. lie is tormented by his help
lossless in a matter in which he lie
lieves it to be his peculiar promise to
be helpful: bejmes that his failures,
his ina'dlity to struggle successfully
with tlie world are certain dowers of
misfortune to those ho loves best in
the world, anil of course these rodeo
Hons give double pain to his appre-
hensions. There is no doubt this
eoailition cramps the mind and
dwarfs (he power of the human
intellect. Neither extreme poverty
nor excessive wealth is favorable to
the full development ot the mental
faculties, which are the most active
and fruitful when undisturbed by
fear of indigence or unduly exalted
by superabundance of riches.

At no point in the whole extent of
the country is it more difficult to
engineer an enthusiastic celebration
ol any event, particularly a political
one, than at the Capital City. The
chief reason is because we more
clearly appreciate the insincerity 'Hid
hvpocrucy underlying partisan poli-
tics as used by tlie professional
politician for his own glory. We
know j; st how cheap a c feat are he

sed attempt to celebrate the anni-
versary of oar independence as is
observed elsowlicio.

FAIlIXACEOrS FOOD.
This is the season w hen the appe-
tite naturally revolts against heavy
food. To tunny, meats are repug-
nant, the palate craving something
equally nutritious, hut less difficult
of digestion. Farinaceous food is
that best suited to the season, and
those who are wise givc-it a prefer-
ence. It has those special claims
upon families in which there ary
children, and parents who are wise
auil who desire health and economy
in their households, will do well to
give to fl.is subject more attention
than has hitherto been bestowed upon
it. The use of fariiiaheous food in the
United States is said to have large-
ly increased the past ten years, ami
is still increasing. Oatmeal mush
and other farinaceous preparations
are daily dishes on tables to which
they were entire strangers but a lit
tie while since, and it is well that
such is the ease. Whether viewed
iu the light of economy or that of
health, this style of diet has much
to recommend it. If cltldren in
stead of being fed largely with flesh
meats, pastries, etc, were trained
from early youth to eat oatmeal, we
should have stouter and stronger
men and women. The difficultly is
io like it, but, that, dillleuty is far
from being insuperable. The fond
m ss for oatmeal preparations it is
said, grows with their use ami there-
fore children who arc taught to eat
it in early life not only become
fond of It, but generally give it a
preference over many other dishes
usually served upon American ta
hies.
Oatmeal, wheat flour. Indian meal
and rice, are susceptible of such a
variety of preparations, that it must
be a taste difficult to please that can
not he suited by some of them. This
is especially the case with children.
How much wiser and better therefore
to give them oatmeal, mush, wheat
grits, hominy, rice, etc, than seroful
us pork or other meats, uliicli, though
less objectionable than the ilesh of
swine, are not nearly so healtblul or
so cheap.

There is vigor still iu the Adams

he does not acknowledge to be tlie

the reporter are in the nature of n

A correspondent writing to the
Wilson County Chronical says ;
Au atrocious murder was to day
committed in our usual quiet neigh
borhooil. This morning at 11 o'clock,
Sam Anderson, who moved into this
part of Wilson county about a year
ago from Robertson county, killed
James Wholexnn. They bad had a
dispute about some bogs, the partic-
ulars of which l do not know, but
this morning Anderson came to
where Wholezau was at work near
Pleasant Hill Church, for the (im-
pose, as he stated, to have a settle
incut. Both men walked together,
talking, for about II tty yards, when
Wholezau stepped aside saying he
would get his hook, and while he
was in the act of withdrawing a mem
oruudum book from his coat pocket,
Anderson drew his six shooter and
leveling it at Wholezau said, “damn
you I’ll kill you anyhow,” ami filed,
the ball entering the neck; he died
itliiu twenty minutes after lie was
shot. The deceased was entirely un-
armed. and said to Anderson not to
shoot that he was not prepared. As
soon us Wholezau full, Anderson
mounted his horse and galloped oil,
ami has not been arrested, though
parties are searching for him. The
leeeased is a native ot Memphis,
Tennessee, where he has relations

Over twenty live hundred persons
were in attendance and the dinner
was uuipi* for *11. This part of tlie
programme was under the control
and management of Mr. .Joseph
Baldridge, who was untiring iu Ins
endeavors to please the multitude
and was very successful, ami l>>' •>’*
gentlemanly manner won a host 61
trietuls,es|iocially amongst the many
beautiful and accomplished young
ladies who graced the occasion with
their presence. The Hoohhmi Band
discoursed music with their usual
abiiity.
About l o’clock, l>. M , while the
men were partaking of barbecued
meat, (the ladies bnviiig been previ-
ously entertained.) a very heavy
raiu storm paid a visit without any
previous invitation and probably
very vvrathy that its previous visits
bail not succeeded in compellin g the
bridge :uen to forego the intention of
erecting tin bridge, it was very
w rat by or else very affectionate, cm
bracing tlie young ladies, particular
|y, nml completely ruining our ‘duck
of a lint” &e., mid completely uuirr
ing the pleasures of the day.
After the rain subsided a fitting
and eloquent oration was delivered
by Thus. Henderson, Esq., of Wash
iugton. •
It was pleasant, AU'- Editor, lo en
joy such an occasion oil the banks of
the Brazos, to drink its brackish
waters, to hear the con tin mi I and
merry peals of laughter Irom the
young ladies, occasionally to hear
the breaking of ft bone in process
of mastication.
In the evening merry parties were
held in Washington and Goirtney
where all lovers of dancing bad am-
ple opportunities to shake tlie light
fantastic toe.
I venture to say that, tl.is anniver-
sary will bp long-treasured in th«
memories of all who attended the
celebration.
The iron bridge is highly spoken
of by everyone who has seen it, and
is n benntitul nml substantial struct-
ure nml for a longtime much needed
in this the most fertile portion of the
State. The men who conceived and
carried to so successful a completion
are deserving ot the highest praise
as well us ample remuneration tor
their outlay. The eontruetois who
so successfully fought, against so
many floods while constructing it,
are examples of pluck and untiring
energy.
