Rest and Recreation.


IT is wise custom, and one fully authorized
by the necessities of the case which leads
people generally to avoid the dust and heat
and distraction of business life, and for a few
weeks during the summer months to seek
health at the sea, or the mountains, or the
country. We deem the expenditure of money
in this pursuit of rest an outlay justified by
sound reason, an investment which repays
back with interest all that is laid out. The
tide of American life is a rapid one. II is a
ceaseless rush, whirlwnd, and bubble. There
is no calm pool; there is no stagnation. A
man in active business, and among them
can be numbered ninety nine men out of every
hundred, finds for three hundred days of the
year continually never ending struggle going
on around him. Every one is excited, every
one pushing his own interests up, and seeking
to press those of his neighbor down. If he
would hold his own he must keep battling
like those who surround him and the result is
that for fve-sixths of the year, every energy is
in use, every power of the mind and soul is
kept in full tension. II any machine COM
posed of iron or steel is drawn persistently,
without time being allowed for repair, it will
in short time break down. If any horse is
worked day after day, at a headlong gait,
either he becomes diseased or else he dies. In
these we can have a parallel care in the
human frame. What iron, and steel
and horse flesh cannot endure, cannot be en-
dured by mankind. When, therefore, after
weary stretch from September to July, the
man of business, the lawyer, clergyman, edi-
tor, physician, or mechanic, is overtaken by
the oppression of warm weather, it is sound
policy, If he has the means, to expend it in
recuperating his energies. 1t is for this reason
that so many fly from the city, and for two
weeks, if not for longer time, devote them
selves to doing nothing. 1t would be a diff
cult task to estimate the proportion of the
people of our city who 60 away for greater
or less time during the summer months. We
cannot but deem it a fallacy which is circulated,
that comparatively few residents of the city
are unable to 60 for day or SO, at least, away
from the toll of everyday work. This absence
is really nothing more than the storing up OF
just so much health to be expended during
the approaching winter. Now it is being hus-
banded, then it is recklessly expended. How
many thousands of our most active citizens
would in few years wear themselves out
were it not for this relaxation, this relieving
of the burdenH Especially is this true of the
younger portion of the country. Boys who
are studying all winter, and young men,
whether professional or mercantile in their
pursuits, require, not as a luxury but as a
necessity, this relief.
We therefore deem the spirit which would
begrudge the money thus spent, narrow and
mistaken one. OF all the expenses of the
year, none yields so abundant return as
funds laid out for recreation and rest during
the oppressive months of summer.

TIE .ENGINEERS STRIKE.
Tho TROUBLES on ths Kansas Pacific
HALLWAY.

There has been serious trouble for several
days past along the eastern end OF the Kansas
Pacihc Kali way, on account OF the dlssatlsfhc-
tion OF the engineers with the withdra val OF an
engine and the Imposition of extra work on the
remaining engines. Previously i've engines
performed the service between st. Louis and
jefferson City.
When the force was reduced to four engines,
each was required to make six trips a week, IN.
stead OF hye. The engineers demanded the re-
placing OF the filth engine, and at first the
master mechanic yielded, but the superintendent
procured engineers from other reads and deter
n iDed to hold out.
The result is thus described by the st. Louis
Democrat
"Ergneers in the neighborhood got wind of
the matter, but as neatly all of them were
'Knig hts of the Foo board, IL was necessary to
proceed slowly. We are credibly informed Ton
the authority of member of the orgaOzaton)
that their rules prescribe the conditions on
which they VIII be sustained in strike. One of
them Is hat they must have the sanction of the
Grand Master, or the concurrence OF two neigh
boring associatlons. 1t they receive this con.
sent then 10 member fron other places can
come in and iase their engines, and the idle
'kngb s. are TO be allowel their wages while
the strike continues. No formal request
for concurrence was made of other orgaul
cations, but several engineers on the In
oiADaL oils and s.. Louis road desiring to conc
TO this city to take positions on the Pacific road,
n ked The consent OF their association, which
vas gran ed unanimously, thereby in etect re-
fusiDR to sustain the action OF the 'FootOoard' iu
the Footboard on the Terre. Haute road, aud
others belonging TO the same association were
engaged 10 take places on the Pacific Railroad,
In ADDITION IL these Others came here from Chi
Cago, and on Wednesday morning the railroad
company had thirty relaple men at their COM
mand. Thus matters stood day before yester-
day. The old engineers thought they had wou
a great victory over the superintendent of the
ROAD in securing a restoration OF the fifth eugiue
aud were entirely unprepared for the impending
blow.
"On Wednesday the extra engine was ordered
of, aud at the same time the old engineers on
the run between here and Jefferson City were
d smissed ano new men substituted. No action
was proposed regarding the freight engineers,
but an arrangement made that II they ql't work

the directors of the road as a vital question,
affecting its discipline and its pecuniary ntere sts
alike. There was little or no jarring on account
OF the changes anywhere, save ia st. Louis.
