How TO GET UP EARLY.-Place basin
of cold water by the side of your bed when
you first awake in the morning, dip your
hands in and wet your brows, and sleep will
not again seal you in it treacherous en-
brace. This is the advice given by an aged
man, who had been in the habit of rising
early during long life
By attending to this advice you may learn
to rise every morning at five o'clock. The
editor has found it better plan to go to bed
at one regular hour. Leave your bed the
moment you awake yourself, after daylight
nature will thus regulate the sleep to the ex-
act amount required by the system.-HaUs

NV YoRK, June ga correspondent of
the New York Herald says -
A mixed convention of republicans assem-
bled in Montgonery, Ala. yesterday. The
Offices were distributed impartially among
the two harmoniour races, Judge Smith, a
white man, being elected president, and the
darkies receiving half the remaining Offices.
General Swayne, Governor Patton and 9TH
ers were present. ss.g r.r.a,~
A motion to invite Judge Busted to seat
on the platform was violently opposed by
the negroes, and, on its being renewed in
the afternoon session, the Macon county del
egation seeded, whereupon the convention
adjourned.
The New York Herald's Washington spe-
cial says: Et zsS
1t is generally conceded in Richm ond that
General Schoields order No. 34), publish
ed yesterday, ignores the opinion of the at
tornev generals on the reconstruction law.
The New York Times special says:
The action of General Sheridan in remov-
ing Gov. Wells, of Louisiana, SO promptly on
the heels of the Presidents demand for his
reason for removing Wells board of levee
commissioners, attracts very lively comment
here. The friends of the President insist
that it is an insult to him, and that it rem
ders certain Sheridan's speedy removal and
the reversal of all his action. elA
CINCINNATI, June 5.--The heaviest thun-
der storm ever known here passed over the

II You Want a Kiss, Take It.

There's a jolly Saxon proverb,
That is pretty much like this.
That man is half in heaven
When he has woman s kiss;
But there's danger in delaying
And the sweetness may forsake it;
So tell you bashfal lover,
If you want . kiss, why-take it.
Never let another fellow
Steal a march on you in this
Never let laughing maiden
See you spelling for kiss;
There's royal way to kissing,
And the jolly ones who make it
Have a motto that is winning
If you want kiss, why--take it.
Any fool may face a cannon
Anybody wear a crown,
But a MAN must win woman,
If he'd have her for his own;
Would you have the golden apple,
You must find the tree and shake il,
If the thing is worth the having,
And you want kiss, why-take it.
Who would burn upon desert,
With forest smiling by?
Who would give his sunny summer
For bleak and wintry sky
Oh tell you there is magic,
And you cannot, cannot break it /;
For the sweetest part of loving
Is to want kiss, and take 1t.

FEvERs VS.. FRUITs.-Let's have a little
talk about orchards and gardens, as life-pre-
servers. Many farmer thinks he cant
fuss about a garden" with vegetables and
small fruits in ample variety, hardly about
an orchard, especially beyond apple trees.
So he goes on to weightier matters of grain
or stock, or dairy, and eats potatoes, wheat
bread, pork and salt beef all summer long
No fine variety of vegetables, no grateful
berries, no luscious peaches or juicy cher
ries.
By October fever comes, or bowel com
plants of some kind, or some congestive
troubles most likely. He is laid up, work
stops month, the doctor comes, and he
''drags round" all winter, and the doctors
bill drags, too. The poor wife, meanwhile
gets dyspeptic, constipated, has fever, too
perhaps, and she ust crawls round."-
What's the matter? They don't know, pool
souls. Would they build hot fire in July
and shut the doors? Of course not-in theil
rooms but they have done just that in theil
poor stomachs. How so? They have beer
eating all summer, the heat-producing food
fit for a cold season, but not for a warm one
A Greenlander can eat candles and whale
| fat, because they create heat. In January
| we are up toward Greenland-in climate.

Prospects for Business.

The railroad connection between Omaha and

Union Pacific on the sections already finished for
the first two weeks in May were $1,000 These
sectional earnings the road progresses will

The Company respectfully submit, that the

security of their Bonds, and additional proof
they would suggest that the Bonds now offered
are less than ten million dollars 517 miles Of
road, on which over twenty million dollars have
already been expended on $50 miles of this
road the cars are now running, and the remaining
1877 miles are nearly completed.

Means Of the Company.

Estimating the distance to be built by the Union
Pacific to be ! ,565 miles, the United States Gov
ernnent issues its Six per cent. Thirty year bonds
to the Company as the road is finished at the av-
erage rate of about $2S,25o per mile, amounting
to S44 POS, goo.
The Company is also permitted to issue its own
First Mortgage Bonds to an equal amount, and at
the same time, which by special Act of Congress
are made a First Mortgage on the entire line, the
bonds of the United States being Subordinate to
them.
The Government makes O donation of IL, 500
acres of land to the mile amounting to 20, 032 900
acres, estimated to be worth $50, 100000, making
the total resources, exclusive of the capital SlS-
4i6, 900 but the full value of the lands cannot
now be realized.
The authorized Capital Stock Of the Company
is one hundred million dollars, of which five mil
lions have already been paid in, and of which it
is not supposed that more than twenty-five mil
lions at most will be required.
The cost of the road is estimated by competent
engineers to be about one hundred million dollars,
exclusive of equipment.
