IS. An examination ofthose estimates for which the
Administration is responsible exhibits the fact that
the Government would. if confined to them. be con-
Quoted upon basis Of the strictest economy. The
increase Of expenditure, about which SO much has
been said is limited to three sources: 1st the
penses OF the Army; I'd, the increase of the Navy;
and, 3d. the expense of the Post Office Department.
word upon each of these points: The increased
expense of the army was occasioned, as every one
knows, by the Utah war, and our Indians troubles.
Not only was the deficiency provided for at the late
session created in this war; but the increase in the
regular annual estimates required 20 meet these
contingencies.
End The increase in the expense of the Navy ari-
ses from the amount expended in the construction of
new vessels, and in giving additional strength to this
arm of the public defence. There is not indvidu-
al throughout the country who does not fee! that the
number and efficiency of the Navy is wholly dispro.
portionate to commercial interests and national
importance. Let those who desire smaller and less
efficient Navy complain of ,hose expenditures.
3rd. The increased expenses of the Post Office De-
partment. Two causes have produced this result, to
wit the reduction of postage and the increased mail
facilities afforded to the country If those who
tpain of the expenditures of the Government as es-
mated for by the Administration, desire retrench-
ment and reforms IN this Department, the remedy is
plain one-ether increase the postage Or reduce
the mail facilities"
The NECESSITY OF EXERCISE The benefits of ex-
ercise to those whose occupation does not lead them
to make any physical exerton cannot be too highly
estimated. The body must undergo certain amount
Of fatigue to preserve its natural strength and main
tain all the muscles and organs in proper vigour-
This activity cqualizes the circulation and distri
butes the blood more efectuay through every part.
Cold feet a chill anywhere shows that the circu-
lation is langud there The muscles during exer.
else press on the veins, and help forward the
rents by quickening every vessel into activity. The
valves Of the heart in this way aided in the work
of sending on this stream, and relieved of a certain
amount of lahonr. When exercise is neglected,
the blood gathers too much about this central re-
gion, and the oppression about the heart, difficulty
Of breathing, lowness of spirits, anxiety and heavi-
ness, numerous aches and stitches, are evidence Of
this sagnation. People afraid to take exercise,
because they fancy they want breath, and feel weak
but the very effort would free the heart from this
burden, by urging the blood forward to the extrem-
tiles. 1t would their breathing, by Libel ating
the lungs from the same super abundance ; it would
make the frame feel active and light the effect of
