LETTER FROM ITHACA, N.Y..
ITITACA, Oct. 11, 1869.
• MMES. Enrrons: Having but late
ly noticed quit© a number of comma-.
nications in the 11nroarint from .dif-
ferent localities, and myself having
the honor of being a resident of To
wanda, I thought I might writ-kerne
thing which would interest the read
ers of your widely circulated sheet.
Ithaca is a thriving village of seven
or eight thousandinhabitants, and is
situated at the head of Cayuga Lake.
It is surrounded by some of the most
beautiful and enchanting scenery—
cascades •and Waterfalls being the
chief objects of attraction, of which
there are said to be nearly a hundred
within a - radiusof ten miles of Itha
ca, which - vary from twenty ' to. two
hundred feet in height. '
Corn, l University, destined soon
to become the leading .institution of
America, and. a monument of per
petual glory to the "Forest City," is
beautifully situated on the bill about
a mile northeast of the center of the
town, and . conunands An extensive
view of the surrounding country,
There are at present four buildings
finished and in coKse of construc
tion. The "McGraw building," •as
it is called from its donor, John Mc-
Graw, Esq.,, f Ithaca, is slowly grow
ing into significance, and will be com
pleted, it is thought, in about one
year. It is to be the central univer
sity .building, and is to'have a. fewer
made expressly to contain the chimes
presented to the Uuiversity by Miss
Jennie McGraw and Mrs. President
White. It has been reported that
nearly all the trustees of Cascadilla
Place had declared their willingness
to convey the building to the trustees
of Cornell University. It was origi
nally built with the intention of es
tablishing a Water-cure, and is now
subject to a lease of Cornell Univer
sity, and is used as a dormitory for
certain members of the faculty and a
part of the students. This will make
the fifth building belOnging to the
University. The buildings present
au imposing appearance, and with
the..exception of the Labaratory, are
constructed of stone of a grayish cast
trimmed off with, white, and are built
with a. view of enduring for ages.
The number of students in Ihe Uni
versity is about COO, of whom 320 tire
freshmen, the seniors juniors and'
sophomores 'making up the remain
der. A s the freshmen outnumber the
" sOphs,' thero i:; not much danger
of rushing or of trampling freslunen
under feet, although a slight attempt
was made on Friday, the Bth
resulting in a drawn battle and sonic
little damage to the South University
building. - Your "humble servant'-'
had the hono>i . of being engaged . in it
and getting hat pretty well dig
comfited. The class of "'73" held a
mooting at Military Hall on Saturday
the 9th, at 3 p.m., and it wasresolved
to- have no rushing in the future • un
less it was begun by some opposite
party; in that case it • was resolved
that we would stand up for our rights.
These resolutions will insure the class
of " '74" with a pleasant reception.
Cornell University is fast gaining
in popularity. students repre
sent nearly every State in the Union,
as - well as some foreign countries.
Among the members of the class of
" '73" a State Representative lifts his
head. • I say lifts his head, for he
stands at least six feet in his "stock
ings. He is a strong built, muscular
man, as some of the devoted class of
" '72 " found out in the little scrim
image we had on Friday.
The University „present; facilities ,
for learning which are not to be found
in other colleges. The ever-memo
rable expression of . its founder, the
Hon. Ezra Cornell, ‘,‘ I would _found
an institution where any person can
find - instruction in any study," has
been the aim of the University, and
for these " who have to work their
*ay," as it is pretty genet dly express,.
faeties - are, off, -by which
they may earn_ at least something to-
Wards defraying the 'expenses of Their
education: Indeed, those • who are
engaged in labor in and abdilf the
Untversity, for purpose of de
fraying their own expenses, are called
the "Legion -of Honor." President
White is traveling •in the Western
States; before his return he will visit
some of the - Western institutions and
the lands belonging to Cornell Uni
versity. As far as I - Imow,

The advoeates of total abstinence
from all that intoxicates " are often
met with the - claim that "abstinence
i 8 not temperance."
As temperance admits the use of
whatever is needful to the `healthful
sustenance of our bodies, for the vig
orous performance of all their fune.;
tions:so abstinence should disallow
the usdof whatever' disturbs or proves
positively injurious to the vitaLecon
omy. • -
Whether temperance implies total
abstinenCe from the use of alcoholic_
stimulants, depends upon the settle
ment of the single simple question by
the phYsiolOgists: . Is it in any sense
food, or healthful? •
By common consent, alcohol is clas
sified with poisons—hence is in no
:ense food—as experiment proves it
indigestible and in no way usable in
the-organic economy. We are told
that alcohol contains the " sperit"
.o'f the grain, hence it must be nour
ishing—while the truth is the " spir
it " or life of tho grain is destroyed
in -distillation, and in alcohol we have
only the product of decomposition
and decay—an inorganic substance.
,The experiments of physiologists
prove that . alcohol is expelled un
changed from the living system, hence
war, and -Waste of - the vital forces.
This vital resistance sonic learned
men have mistaken for increased vi
tality. This waste of lif: principle
they lip-Vo mistaken for its accumula
tion.
This mistake, and' the practices
which grow out of
. it, are the chief
obstacles in the way of temperance
reform, and the source of most of the
debauchery, vice and crime in our
land. The false doctrine which mis
takes stimulation for strength, dice
tuallyparalyzes the temperance cause,
and is the basis of the traffic in in
toxicating drinks.
Some advocates for the-use of alto=
hol affirm that " all our food contains
poison;" hence alcohol, or poisonous
drugs, may be good for us and even
necessary to health. -
Such animation can have no foun
dation in science, from the fact that
all, vita properties are destroyed and
lost in the analysis Of" food . proper...
By physiology we learn the distinc
tion between dead and living,or or
,
mune. and inorganic matter, and that
in the relation to each other the liv
ing syStetn is- active and the dead
matter, passive.
This enables . us -- 'tT:P. affirm that al
cohol does not "act ion " the living
system to impart either vitality or
heat. Alcohol may occasion heat as

Alcohol occasions heat in.the vital

MOEN OF GUNPOWDER.
The greatest improvement' which
the militarY•service everreceived;was
in the invention of-Gunpowder, which
as Polydote Virgil -relates, was about
the year '1430 of Christ, by Bartholo-•
dile Schwartz, a learned Franciscan
monk; who, having applied himself
to chemical investigations, happened
to mix together, for some particular
purpose, such ingredients as form the
constituent parts of gunpowder, viz :
saltpetre, sulphur,eharcoal. This com
position, being put ipttku raortar, and
covered with a stone, happened to
take fire, and blew off,the stone to a
considerable distance. The monk
was at first greatly. suFprise'd and
frightened.: but, recovering himself,
he , soon discovered some of those.
particular uses to 'which. it . *as after
wards so successfully applied.
' Schwartz first taught the use of it to
Venetians, in the year 1430; during
the war with the Genoese.; and it was
first employed by ' them in a place
called Possa Ciodia, against Lawrence
De Medicis ; and all Italy comphiined
of it as a manifest innovation on the
rules oflawful war. -
.But what - contradicts this account i
and Shows gimpowder to i lie .of an
earlier date, is the fact mentioned ,by
Peter 'Alexia, that the ]Moors, being
be,siegeitin 1643 by, Alplaonstis ;XI,
-king, of Castile, he discharged a sort
of iron mortars uPoit them, which
made a,noise like thunder. And this
is seconded by Don Pedro, Bishop of

posed ,
posed , to;take extreme groundlon the
Tobacco questien, although we en
tertain very positive convictions of
the mischiefs which 'attend ita.use.
AS is usual in till discussions, two ex
tremes-are; developed in the contro
versy respecting
„tobacco. One party
regards the use btbf tobacco as an ova,
en evil only, and that iontinnally ; it
holds that there is no such thing as
moderation of evil; and•thait tho least
use of the weed is pernicious, impair
ing the, health and shortening the life.
On the other hand, the adv,ocates of
smoking and clicking take the bull
'by the horn's, aid undertake to de
monstrate from the latest, grounds of
physiology i that tobacco. is an article_
whose use, in due moderation, econo
mizes the nervous force, repairs Cere
bral wasteS, and prolongs life: - • We
shall not take part in the controversy.
There are several grounds on which
we would dissuade young men who
have not formed the habit of using
tobacco from ever learning to use it.
1. It is not necessary to health or
to comfort. No one Lisa natural crav
ing for it. Ori the contrary,it is utter. - -
ly rotaignant , to a' natural appetite.
It offends the senses and every vital
organ. Men are obliged to train
themselves into its use. The stom
ach, the heart, and the brain 1 -till pro
test against it, and submit, at length,
only as they do to any other medicinal
:agent.. That it may become, . after
long use, necessary to comfort, and
even to the health, is saying 'Of it
only - what may be said of opium, of
strychnine,• and of arsenic, - all of
which are employed for : - the very
same purpose that tobacco is, viz: to
produce excitement. But the need is
secondaiy, artificial, and acquired.
No man in health eaves to use tobac
co because he needs it. The habit
begins in puerile imitation. It is an
apish trick Boys revolt against boy
hood, and think they are nien, when
old - enough to copy the faults of an
imperfect manhood. They are very
apt to crawl, into manhood through
the flirty dour of vice.. .-
It may be. said that, though there
is no natural craving - forituy particu,
lar drug, like .toba , ..eo, - yet in a highly
artificial state • of :society men crave
stimulants, and ti O.; tobacco, alcohol,
&c., if used with rigid moderation,
adapt themselves as artificial supplies
to an artificial want. •
That men living under the highly
exciting conditions of - modern society
need certain stimulants, we am not
disposed to . deny. But is selecting
one should avoid . those which are
peculiarlyliable to abuse,aud employ
t
those whi. li experience has shown to
be safe. ea and coffee are useful
stimulants. They are not deg,enerat
ing.:.-Whatever use tobacco and wine
arc alleged to haVe in repairing, ner
vous wastes, tea and coffee will serve
in a like inanneros-ithout the tiaapta,-
lions to which excess go with these
more violent drugs.
2. The habit. of using tobacco reads
men to. vulgarity. Ido not by any
means say that every user of tobacco
is Vulgar, or that every . one who be
takes himself to it. will, of necessity,
beeinne'vulgar. But, as a - matter - of
fact, users of tobacco grow indiffer
ent to the feelings of otherskandha--
banally keep before the eyes IA their
companions disgustful things, which
trucirefinement would _hide or sup
preSS. 'Even brute animals, moved
by mere instinct, learn to hide the ex
cretions
.: of tlui body. The, much
abused pig prefers cleanliness: Clive'
him pure water and a clean bed, add
be will keep himself clean.
I But, whatever rare and polite ex
.
ccc o ptions there may be, it is 'undenia
ble that the users of tobacco become
indifferent to _others' feelings, and
.shoel the tastes of men with scarcely
the consciousness of offending. The
chewer spirts his saliva as if he were
'a liquid artillery man.. The smoker
carries in his hair, his raiment, and
in his breath the fetid odor of tobac
co. To some the fresh' smoke of
good tobacco is not : disagreeable. '
Bid the residual smell which-lingers
in the pipe, on the clothes, or on the'
person,_ is disgustful to every one. -
If one will use tObaceo; he should at
least thereafter carefullypurge andpu
'rify hiriaself. But I have observed that
persons who in all other.things have
gentlemanly instincts, in the use. of
tobacco seem to lose delicacy and
generosity. I gee a great degree of

There are no' four words easier
sometimes to say than these. Some
times of all others they. are of all ut
terances the hardest. When we feel
the sharp quiver of anxiety for a deal:
,child or friend, in mortal peril, -run
ning through us, like a knife, as who
bps not, it is terrible to say,'.Thy will
be done I When Jest& reaches down
his hand, and from out the charmed
circle of our home takes a dear °one,
we are, prone td be rebellions, r " -and to
forget that the hand wasonce pierc
ed for us; and can only touch us - in
the very tenderness of love». When
something upon.. which we have set
our ' hearts, some cherished goal,
keeps receding as • we: apmach - it,
and finally diryzdves like a. mirage,- it_
is hard to say, "Thy will be -done."
When we toil, and it seeing• that we
- toil in. vain, when after seed-time
there comes no= reaping time, it is
hard to be aulnnissive.. - With the very
words of the petition on our lips, we
are conscious et an tuidertOne in our•
hearts that keeps saying., - .flfine!
mine own I not thine!
What is the remedy? Not in us !
ft is only in looking untoUruL He
can help us to drink bittei :cups as
though they were sweet;' , $e
open our eyes to the love that lies be
hind the sorrow. He can bid us hope
for the the heavenly hermit. 'He can
