Eating Too Muchs

Ten persons die Of too much food
where one dies of drink. Thousands ca.
themselves into fever, bowel diseases,
dyspepsia, throat affections, and other
maladies.
Some years ago, the residents Of a
German city were one morning wild
with excitemont. Everybody was poi.
soned. The doctors we're Aying in ev-
cry direction Water ras the only thing
they had swallowed in common. The
reservoir was examined. 10 one corner

of large number of persons. They have
all eaten too much food. Nearly all too
much in quantity, but all have eaten
food too highly concentrated. Yesterday,

The body is strengthened by what i

GEN. HooKER's BATTLE ABOVE THE
CLOUDS. .-Quartermaster Gen. Meigs, in
his lively account of the three days con-
Act before Chattanooga, mentions the
notable tact that in Gen. Hooker's fight
up the slopes of Lookout Mountain,
"much of the battle was fought above
the clouds, which concealed him from
our view, but from which his mus sketry
was heard" There is on record at least
one parallel to this in the campaign of
Napoleon in the Carnic Alps, in 1877
The battle of the Col de Jarvis, March
22, 1897, was fought above the clouds

Have the Niggers Comet

Just before every election, for the last
three or four years, our democratic
friends have been telling the people, IT
they elected the abolition ticket, the
"niygers' would be set free, would then
come North; take the poor mans work
from him; work for nothing; compel the
poor man to work for nothing, and bring
about low prices for labor, misery and
starvation generally. A good, sound
Democrat, but little green, relates to
US his experience in the matter. He
heard one of their prominent orators,
lust before the election, assure his audi
cnce that all the evils just mentioned
would be the consequence, if Curtin
were elected. Curtin was elected. Our
frie1d having occasion to get couple of
loads of coal put in his cellar, thought
he would just look around and get one of
them niggers to do it for nothing, who
were coming up after the election to work
at that figure. But after considerable
! inquiry he came to the conclusion that
the nipgers had "failcd to cnnncct -
With some further trouble, he secured
/ lEc scTNiCtS VI Sbh t'''he "'''' p''
son, who did the JOB in something less
than an nour, aud demanded his pay
1925. Our friend not being Secretary
of the Treasury, nor expecting that po.
sition soon, nor even an army contractor,
was somewhat struck with the amount,
and politely suggested to the demand
ant, that he would not probably again
have occasion to call upon him for his
services, in like emergency, and, very
unwisely, intimated, that the charge was
at about the rate Of % cents second.
At this the laborer, without reason, be-
came very much excited, and in language
more emphatic than elegant, told his en-
