Pure Air and Sunshine.

Pure air for the lungs and bright sunlight
for the eyes is physiological maxim which
should never be forgotten. We are no advo-
Gates of household pets in the shape of puny sun
denied children, Let your offspring go out Of
doors. Let them have Gods air and sunshine
if they do have some of the dirt with it. They
look the cleaner when they get their faces wash
ed On this subject the Springfield Republican
has some capital remarks 1t says =
When the trees about dwelling shade the
berry will not grow, and the rooms Of the house
have a constant air Of dampness and gloom, and
the outside gathers moss and mould, it is time to
make war upon the trees and open a pathway
for the sunshine and warm air. If it were not
for the benefcent visits of the hot winds from
SUMMER spots occasionally, such homes wonld be
as noisome and fatal as tombs The vital statis
ties of cities show the sunny side of the streets
to be the most healthy notwithstanding the insane
efforts made even by the inhabitants of cities to
exclude the little sunlight that attemps to reach
them; and we have no doubt that the statistics
ofcountry residences would show the same GEN
eral fact. A certain amount of shade is essential
to comfort, but when it reached thepoint of ex-
cludiug sunshine altogether, it becomes posi-
tive evil. When we talk abont opening windows
and doors, we know what the exclamation of
tidy housekeepers will be. Flies are a nuisance
we confess multitudinous, disagreeable and dirty
dust from the streets is insuferable, and faded
carpets are daily modification. But after all,
are not rosy checked and lively children, and
vigorous and cheerful women, more ornamental
and more essential to the comfort of a family
than the best preserved coIors in the worsted
work, or entire immunity from the annoyance of
flies Let us welcome the visits of the health
full air and sunshine, and look out for the essen
tial conditions Of vigor and cheerfulness first of
al,and if matters of mere show must be sacrificed,
why, let them slide"

Daniel z. Sickles.

The New York Evening Post, of Saturday,
has the following paragraph in regard to Hon.
Daniel E. Sckles: Z" 1t is understood that,
upon certain conditions which have been duly
considered by his personal friends Mr. Sickles
will voluntarily surrender his claims to represent
the Third Congressional district His appli-
cation for his seat must be referred to a COM
mittee, which will have also to decide upon the
credentials of the other New Y rk city members
On account of a clerical error in the endorse
ment of their ballots, no certificate has been is
sued to them All the members elect. but Sick
les, will be reported back forthwith his case
will be retained until he chooses whether to
resign or contest In the latter case. the vote
OF certain soldiers from Governors Island and
other Irregularities will be but in Issue The
fact that Williamson has failed to serve notices
on Sickles of his intention to contest will commit
cate matters, but in consideration of an aoree-
ment on the part Of Sickles to resign and of GER
tain other high contracting parties to put an
anti-Lecompton Democrat in nomination for the
district, the plan is not to hold special election
in the Third Congressional district"

Governor in the Democratic ranks. A state
convention will be held in the city of Trenton

Newark Mercury as candidates for Governor
from the Republican, branch of the Opposition
party in this State The American wing of the
party have named Judge Randolph, James
Bishop, A. S. Livingston, and John IT. Lyon
The Patterson Guardian, one of the most
radical Opposition sheets in the State, supports
DR.. Charles Shelton for the Democratic Guber-
material nomination on these grounds:
We give our voice in favor of DR.. Shelton,
because he has been a consistent Land Refor-
mer; because he voted in Congress against
Pieree's Kansas Nebraska Bill because, in one
word, he has refused to toady to the Plantation
interest"

THE SADDEsT SIGHT4The attention Of
bachelors is invited to the following "wail" from
Salisbury
There are some sights in this world-a city
racked and burned-a London in the midst Of
plague-a ship burned at sea- family pining
in starvation-a jar of honey smashed on the
pavement but the saddest sight to us of all is
an old bachelor stoldly walking towards his
end, his great duties undone his shirt buttons
off, his stockings out at the toes, and nobody to
leave his money to. Were we such man, the
mild reproving eye of widow or maiden lady
would drive us mad. But still there is hope
Uglier and older men than any of our friends
have married beautiful wives who trained them
admirably"

LIFE IN New Y oTK CITY. A communication
was received by the Mayor of New York, signed
q Female Citizen" stating that the boarding
houses occupied by the sewing girls of that city
WERE as a general thing, in an incredibly filthy
and unwhoesome condition. The communica-
ton further states that seven or eight girls are
packed into one small garnet room, and that
they frequently prefer to sit up all night rather
than expose themselves to the attacks of the
vermin with which these rooms abound The
writer requested that the health wardens of the
various wards might be directed to visit some
of these houses, and report thereon.
