MISCELLANEOUS READING.

MORE SLEEp.-We have read statement,
written by DR.. Windship, the ''strong man,"
who recently lectured at the North, of rules,
by the observance of which he obtained his re-
markable strength and muscular power
To one of these rules in particular, AS being
that which men are most prone to violate, We
wish to call special attention. The Doctor
says he takes ten hours sleep out of twenty
four, and he advises everybody to take at
least eight hours rest nightly. We are con-
vinced that most of the i'll health in the COM
munity is due to lack of sleep more to than
any other cause. Rapidity of eating, lack Of
exercise, heated rooms, over anxiety OF mind,
and other causes contribute to the i'll health
and abbreviated lives of our city population,
but the going to bed too late and rising too
early we believe to be productive of more
sickness and premature deaths than any of
these or all of them combined. DR.. Hall, in
his Journal Of Health, concurs fully with
DR.. Windship as to the necessity OF longer
sleep than the majority of men allow them
selves. Indeed we know of no respectable
medical sanction for the shortening the term
to six or seven hours. We. know very many
men who are rarely in bed before midnighr,
yet are always up by six o'clock in the morn
ing. Such men are exhausting their vital
force prematurely. They never can reach
the limit of three score years and ten, much
less live far beyond it, as almost every man
may by taking care of himself.
SLEEPING UNDER THE CLoTHEs.-There is
reason to believe (says Miss Florence Night
ingale,) that not few of the apparently un-
accountable cases of scrofula among children
proceed from the habit of sleeping with the
head under the bed clothes. and 80 inhaiing
air already breathed. which is further con-
taminared by ,exhalations from the skin.
Patients are sometimes given to similar
habit; aud it often happens that the bed
clothes are so disposed that the patient must
necessarily breathe air more or less contain
mated by exhalations from the skin. A
good nurse will be careful to attend to this.
1t is an important part SO to speak, OF ven.
tilation. 1t may be worth while to remark
that when there is any danger of bed-sores,
blanket should never be placed under the
patient 1t retains damp and acts like
poultice Never use anything but light
Whitney blankets as bed covering for the
sick The heavy impervous counterpane is
bad, for the very reason that it keeps IN the
emanations from the sick person, while the
blanket allows them to pass through. Weak
persons ore invariably distressed by great
weight of bed clothes, which often prevents
their getting any sound sleep whatever.

LIFE INsURANCE.-Mr. o. E. Moore, the
General Agent of the United States Life In
surance Company, is spending few days in
town looking after the interests of that com
pany here. We are glad to know that he
has induced quite number of our citizens
to take out life policies There is not any
doubt that this is one of the best and most
reliable institutions of the kind in the coun-
try. The names of its Directors are a suf-
iciant guarantee for any company, AID it
has nearly ten thousand policies scattered all
over the country, and nearly million dol
lars surplus so we believe it is permanent
iy safe. .....
Life Insurance is something every man
with a family ought to think about 1t
costs but a small sum every year to secure
five thousand dollars to ones family, and
when we know that life is uncertain, and
business quite as much so it seems only a
mans duty to make some such provision
for those dependent upon him, beyond the
contingencies of life or business We
have had policy some time, and know
that the satisfaction it affords is worth more
than the cost. We recommend our citizens
to take policies with Mr.. Morse in the United
States Company.

FusIoN.-Hear how lovingly the Louis
vile Democrat Douglas organ, of the 18th,
talks about its Breckenridge brethren"
Yet in spite of all this virulent feeling be-
tween the two wings, we predict a fusion
in Indiana against Lincoln-and what q
fusion! Talk about oil and waterI But, then,
1--WE are all Democrats" Fusion Is the
forlorn hope against Old Abe, of the pro-
slavery oligarchy and their allies:
But whenever the influence of the Ad-
ministration and its plant tools could be
brought to bear upon them, they voted the
Abolition ticket straight out. They will do
the same thing in November, if their votes
shall he found necessary to give the State
to Lincoln. They are governed by but one
blind, malicious hatred of the
Democratic party, because it refused to yield
to their insolent demands for fusion. Fuse
With such men! Fuse with men whom sa-
cred pledges of their honor cannot bind
nor oaths hold till their echoes have died
away Fuse with men calling themselves
Democrats stealing into Democratic con-
VcntiOns, and then voting the Abolition
ticket Fuse rather with the Devil and
his angels ..-s.

MAYORS CoCRT--Two persons, Antoine
Mendel and Jack Welsh, were brought be-
fore the Mayor, yesterday evening, to an
swer for disturbances committed on Satur-
day evening, during the Republican celebra-
ton. Mendel's indictment was for assault
and battery committed upon Mr. Kirkpat-
rick, Wide Awake who was marching in
the procession. Mr.. James NJ. Shanklin ap-
peared for the endant, and John W. Fos-
ter for the city, and jury of six having
been sworn, the trial proceeded, 1t appear
ed in the evidence that Mendel was seen to
pick up brickbat or stone from the street,
place it in his pocket, follow the procession,
and, afterwards throw the missile into the
procession; and that Mr.. Kirkpatrick was
hit. The case was debated at some length
by the counsel, after which the jury retired
and after an absence of half an hour return
ed a verdict of five dollars fine and costs,
which amounted to $l4.4O
Jack Welsh was charged with disturb
ance of the peace. John w. Foster appear
ed for the prosecution, and Benoni StiRson
for the defense. For the prosecution two
witnesses were sworn who testified positive
ly that they saw Welsh throw brick or
stone which hit a transparency carried in the
Wide Awakes' procession. On the side of
the defense some half dozen witnesses were
sworn, who testified that they didn' t see him
throw. The case having been argued by
counsel, the jury retired, and after consulta-
ton, brought in a verdict of twenty five
dollars fine and the costs of the suit, amount
ing altogether to $34.05,

ST. JOSEPH, Oct. l5.-The California Ex-
! press reached here at noon, "a hours be-
| hind time, with dates to and including
October the 3D. The Douglas primary
election, held in San Francisco on the
| 29th ult. demonstrated the fact that the
| Irish voters are almost unanimously in fav-
or of that division of the Democracy. Both
| wings of the Democracy are confident OF
carrying the State. 4 good deal of betting
has commenced and there seems no difficulty
to get hackers or even bets, either for or
against Douglas. Heavy bets are always
supposed to exercise an important influence
| on California elections. The Republicans
are accordingly not unmindful of such tao
tics, Eugene Sullivan, prominent member
of that party, having already wagered
$25, 900 against $4,000 that Lincoln will
be elected by the people The money is de-
posted in Bank.
The following telegram which reached
San Francisco to-day, is the latest intell-
gence, and all that has been received this
week.
"SALEM, Oregon, Oct. 28th.-A joint resor
luton passed both branches of the Assem-
bly, yesterday, for a joint convention to
convene in the Hall Of Representatives on
Monday, Oct lst, for the election Of two o.
S. Senators. The vote WAS unanimous in
the Senate, but met with strong opposition
from the Breckenridge Democrats in the
House. There is no certainty of an elec.
ton taking place at the time specified"
There is no California news
Lieutenant Beale arrived from Independ-
ence at Fort TETON, with party of fourteen
men on the 9th He reports the In
dians very troublesome on the Albuquerque
route.
On the Ist inst, $4,000 were received at
San Francisco from Fremonts Mariposa
mines, being the product of the previous
eight days operations.
Full advices from Oregon explain the pro-
gress of the Legislature. The attempted
of the House sine die, as ad-
vised by the last Express, has been entirely /
receded from, and decided to have been i'm |
possible under the circumstances existing. /
When attempted, there was much popular
at the attempts, both in the SEN
ate aud House, to destroy the session by pre-
mature and illegal adjournment as well as
by the secession of factious members SO as
to deprive either body of a quorum At
last accounts, on the 28th, both houses were
in session duly organized.
The six absent Senators had returned and
taken their seats in the Senate, and ratified
the informal proceedings had in their ab-
sence. The Governor sent in his message
on the 25th. 1t takes strong Breckinridge
grounds on National politics. He also pro-
tests that he will call 10 extra session if
the Legislature adjourns without electing
Senators, which would postpone the election
two years, the session being biennial. In
der these circumstances it is thought that
popular clamor will insist on an election and
other legislation during the balance of the
forty days, for which only the session con.
lasts.

A Sample Brick from the Douglas
EdInce.

AS a specimen brick of what peaceable
people would have been treated to had the
Douglas rule continued in this county, we
refer to the instance where young man, a
member of the Wide AwAkes, was assaulted
in front of Theodores Exchange on Satur-
day night, as alluded to by US hurriedly on
Monday, for want of time to detail all the
circumstances.
The young man is entirely inoffensive,
and incapable of giving an affront without
provocatiOn. He was quietly going home
after the procession, carrying his extiguish-
ed lamp, when he was assailed by n gang of
drunken rowdes in front of the rendezvous
aforementioned. Kisses and howls ofevery
execrable and insulting kind We're cast at
him. He kept steadily on through the pack
of hounds who yelped around him, paying
no attention to them, until he had nearly
passed the crowd, when some sneaking cow
ard from behind siezed his lamp (Which was
carried over the shoulder and also seized and
tore his cape and at the same time struck
him on the head. The Wide Awake was
not asleep, and turned on his assailants (the
whole crew crowding up), giving his
immediate antagonist a blow, who at
once, like true coward, betook
himself to boulders, number of which
were thrown By the bowling throng.
Finding he could not contend with a whole
mob, our Wide Awake gradually backed
of, facing his enemies and keeping them
from seizing him. When he reached Kron's
corner they ceased to follow him. though
boulders were still sent whizzing at hirn,
but fortunately without hitting him.
When he reached the Washington Hotel,
there was another crowd of Democratic
rufians, who, like those at Theodores
rendezvous, assailed him with Kissing and
bowling aud with volley of the usual
Democratic arguments-brickbats- of
which came near reaching it's mark. He,
however, kept straight on without being
further followed.
What are we coming to, when such ram
pant rowdSism dare show its head amongst
US. We say to these drunken bullies,
beacdTe
