Measures of Peace.

The New York Herald says, ,edito-
rally:
p I'VE learn from the best attainable
authority that Gen. Grant is emphati-
cally in favor of SO amending the
Constitution as to limit therein the
President to one term, and to make
universal suffrage to male citizens,
of all races and colors, above age of
q years, the supreme law of the land.
With regard to- universal suffrage,
we suspect the Constitutional
Amendment, article IA, which pro-
vides that the several States may
regulate suffrage each for itself, but
in proportion as the suffrage is re-
stricted representation shall be re-
strictedfis not considered a settle
ment by General Grant, but a rule
apt to result in endless troubles
from the conflicting plans likely to
be adopted among the States. Hence,
no doubt, General Grant has conclu-
ded that an amendment making uni
versal manhood suffrage the supreme
law of the land in all States and
Territories, is the only decisive So
luton of thus otherwise embarrass-
ing question. 2I.1d-

Position in Sleep.

Halls Journal Of Health says: III
is better to go to sleep on the right
side, for then the stomach is very
much in the position of "a bottle
turned upside down. and the con-
tents of it are aided in passing out
by gravitation. Ifone goes to sleep
on the left side. the operation of
.emptying the stomach OF its contents
is more like drawing water from
well. After going to sleep, let the
body take its own position. If you
sleep on your back, especially after
hearty meal, the weight of the di-
gestive organs and that ofthe food,
resting on the great vein of the
body, near its backbone, congresses
it, and arrests the flow of the blood.

tial, the sleep is disturbed and there
are unpleasant dreams If the meal
has been recent and hearty, the
arrest is more decided; and the var
ious sensations, such as falling over
a precipice, OR the pursuit of wild
beast, or impending dangers, and
the desperate effort to get rid of
them, arouses US and sends on the

The VELocIPEDE.--This rec.


The VELoCIPEDE.--This recent
French invention is attracting much
attention and bids fair to become in
general use. The Scientific Ameri
can gives the following description
Of one manufactured by T. r. Pick
ering of New York: The reach or
frame is made of hydraulic tubing.
Pickering's is made by gage, just as
sewing machines, Waltham watches,
and Springfield muskets are made,
so that when any part wears out or
is broken, it may be replaced at an
hours notice. Its bearings are OF
composition or gun metal, and the
reach or frame is tubular, giving
both lightness and strength. The
hub Of the hind wheel is bushed
with metal, and the axle constitutes
its own oil box. =.
1t differs from the French veloce in
the arrangement of the tiller, which
is brought we'll back, and is suffi
ciently high to allow perfectly up
right position in riding. The stir
rups or crank pedals are three sided
with circular fanges at each enc.
and as they are fitted to turn on the
crank pins, the pressure Of the foot
will always bring one. Of the three
sides into proper position. They
are SO shaped as to allow Of the use
of the fore part of the foot, bringing
the ankle joint in play, relieving the
knee, and rendering propulsion
much easier than when the shank OF
the foot alone is used as in propel-
ling the French vehicle. The con
Meeting apparatus differs from that
of the French bycycle in that the
saddle bar serves only as a seat and
brake, and is not attached to the
rear wheel. BY simple pressure
forward against the tiller, and a back
pressure against the tail of the sad
die, the saddle spring is compressed
and the brake attached to it brought
firmly down upon the wheel.

Another Election Bet Paid.

The Lawrence (Mass.} american
gives an animated account of the
wheeling of a negro from Methuen
to Lawrence on Saturday, by D. II.
Patterson of Methuen,i fulfillment
OF an election wager. A large. crowd
of people assembled to see them-of.
The negro, q young man from Con-
cord, n. II weighing about one hun
dred and thirty pounds, was duly
mounted upon a wheelbalrow, and,
preceded by the Methuen Cornet
Band and d company of Tanners,
the line of march was taken up for
Lawrence, Handkerchiefs waved,
the people cheered, cannon roared,
all the steam whistles in town
screamed their loadest. The wheel
barrow was painted scarlet with
black stripes. On one side was
Manhood Suffrage on the other
''Freedman's Bureau and in front
"New York can't be beat.'' A
comfortable seat with a high back
was provided for the negro, he ri
ding back TO the wheel. Mr.. Patter
son wore a tanner cap, and on his
back was, II propose to fight it out
on this line if it takes all summer !"
.''Let us have peace" +"
The negro wore a white cooked
hat Of the Revolutionary, style, red
cockade, and a black feather. He
carried out his part of the affair in
good style. The road to Lawrence
was lined with carriages of all sorts
and crowds of people. At Law
renee there was a great crowd, and
the affair was broughS to close
with some speech making and a good
IDEAL of cheering. Mr., Nichols, with
whom the bet was made, walked by
the side Of the wheelbarrow to Law
renee.

You have rightly expressed it. This
is the substance of that life-the essence
of it. If i am allowed the expression,
that life is preparatory to this. Without
that, this life never would have existed;
this is the result of that.

Wash for Apple and Other Fruit
Trees

One of the best methods for preserv-
ing the health and promoting the vigor
and fruitfulness of fruit trees, is to
wash them frequently with some liquid
capable of destroying the parisitical
plants and insects which adhere to the
surface of the bark, and sap the vital
energies by . constant drain Of the cir
culating current. A liquor formed of
one pound of whale oil soap to O bucket
of water, is now generally used for this
purpose. A ley of wood ashes, rather
diluted, is also excellent. Tas liquid
should be applied with coarse rug,
which will remove the moss, and dis
lodge the insects which may have OBJ
tanned . Judgement on the bark.
By giving the trees in your or
chards and gardens, two or three
good washings during the season,
care being had to wet every part of the
surface of the trunks, the insects as
we'll as the MOSES, will be effectually
removed, and the bark LETT in a beauti-
ful and healthy condition. April, June
and August are the months in which
washing may be practiced with the
best results, though where one can af-
ford time, q good thorough scrubbing
every month during the growing season,
would be still better. If 1.-The trees are
old, and thickly inerusted with moss, 1t
should be scraped off carefully before
applying the wash. A coarse piece oi
coffee or cotton bag may be used for
scrubbing, and the coarser it is the bet
