NEED OF REsT.-A writes in Lippincott'

rest than haDdworkers. The old saw pre-
cisely inverted the proprieties of the case,
so far as involved them, declaring seven
hours sleep to suffice the student. eight the
iaboring man, and nine the fool The
hours OF hard brain work destroy, as before
observed, more nervous tissue, and cause a
greater satisfaction of the po>phates from
the system than an ordinary days work al
mechanical labor, the proportion of grains
Tin weight being a. Sc g.: IL Above every
thing else, brain workers need sleep. early
sleep and late sleep, and enough in the mid
die to feel real stupid at the end OF it.
Stupidity is precisely the condition into
which this class of toilers should manage
and advise and strive to get them,eIye for
time, longer or shorter, each twenty four
hours. Nothing rests the brair, and the
whole working system Ike IL Narcotic
stupidity, the product of ale. tobacco or
wine, is not the thing referred to. though

The New Rebellion.

WASHINGTON, Oct %, ,ls6S.-Private ad-
vices from New Orleans state that the city
is completely under the control of the rebel
element; that the Metropolitan Police, or
ganized under the laws of the recent Legls-
lature, composed in part Of ex-col 'red sol
diers, have been driven off the principal
streets by the Kuklux klans, which are con-
stantly parsdiug, and that colorod citizens
generally are afraid to venture out of their
hou. es even TO obtain food and other neces-
ssries of life. General Rousseau orders 10
his troops, land his attempts t. restore quiet.
have had the effect intended by him of ma
king display as if he were trying to keep
peace, but in reality have resulted in aiding
the rioters. Sheridan or any other loyal
general, would forthwith have accepted Gov.
Yarmouth S proposition, which was virtual
y to declare martial law in the city; but
Rousseau merely parades the ex-rebel sol
dlers now enlisted in the lst infantry up and
down the streets, while the intimidation of
white and black Unionists is continued as
usual, aud the mob will not allow the loyal
police to return to their posts. A number
of policemen have been shot, while Others
have been badly beaten, and, IN fact. with
but few exceptions, the entire force has
ceased to attempt to do duty. Rosseau up
to yesterday had not made any attempt TO
restore the possession of the city to the po-
lice authorities. In fact, well organized
rebellion against the city government as re-
modelled by the Legislature has succeeded
in wrestling the control of the city from the
proper authorities, and condition Of chaos
prevails which at any moment may resolve
itself into wholesale massacre of loyal men
OF both races. The rebels openly boast that
they have succeeded in overpowering the
Metropolitan police and set at defiance the
laws of the State authorizing that organiza-
tiOn, which to them are obnoxious because
they empower the Governor TO appoint com
missioners, and consequently 10 secure 10y
al police force. Rousseau claims that he has
no right to interfere with the civil authori-
ties, now that the State has been restored
to the Union, unless an actual outbreak oc-
ours, and a. he construes the situation il ha,
not yet occurred. In short, the rebels have
in New Orleans. re- established their su-
premacy, wrested from them by Fari agut
naval forces in 1862, and have successfully re-
belled against the State government reor-
ganized under the reconstruction acts of
Congress.

The Earthq uakes in San Francisco.

| The recent earthquakes In San Francisco
created terrible panic. A CORES .,ondent
states that the streets were filled with ME
and women in their night clothes running

of all kinds felt the shock; horses became

down by the motion of the earth, while 9th
ers started and ran away. Dogs were run.

Birds even noticed the great CONFUSION OF
nature. But lew persons would enter build
ings, and those would stampede into the
streets with a rush whenever slight vibra
ton indicated that the earth was not vet set
| tied. The earthquake took precedence over
everything, business being for the time for
gotten, and all looked as if another night
might come that would swallow the city;
yet with all this fear the people tried to
look cheerful as they told their experience
and related their hair breadth escapes.
Many most ludicrous incidents occurred.
Persons iii the country noticed an upbeav-
ing aud opening of the earth in several pla-
ces. Large masses of rock. several tons in
weight, were detached and rolled down the
hull, and mountain sides were violently sha.
ken, and water made its appearance where
oil was dry before. From some streams
bubbles containing infamable gas has risen
to the surface. Although one hundred
bui dings in the city have been damaged
more or less. a thorough examination proves
that those buildings which have been prom
erly constructed will stand a much heavier
shock. The Accidental and Cosmopolitan
Hotels, the Lick and Russ Houses, the lar
gest buildings in the city. are uniniured,
except that in some instances the chlmpeys
were thrown down and the plasterng crack |

city, where the buildings are erected on
MADE ground.

IMPORTANT INSURANCE DECISION. The

Judicial tribunal in the State, has decided
that suicide does not vitiate a life insurance

OF Marcus W. Gibson the su m for which
his life had been insured because he COM

decision of the lower courts, the policy must
be paid. The company attem pted to prove

Hon. G. W. SCoFIELD.-The following
paragraph from the Upper Dauphin
Journal" meets our hearty approval, and
hence we give it place in our columns to
day:
I'VE are gratifed TO find that our notice
in favor of Mr.. Scofeld for United States
Senator, meets with the appreciation OF our
friends and our prominent Republicans in
different parts of the State. We have no
lake TO grind in this matter, and are only
influenced by desire for the prosperity and
welfare of the party, and for the elevation
of man who will reflect honor upon the
State and add strength to the loyal party.
Mr. Scofeld experience and services a.
a member of Congress have 6ttedj him for
the high position for which ne is named,
and has made the people acquainted with
hi merits. His locality also is such as to
him We know that other candidates are
seeking this Office, and it is probable that Sc
1uctivc influences will be brought to bear in
their favor. But we do not believe that
they will be able to create public senti-
ment against the Importance Of electng
first rate man to that position and we are
certain that no man whose locality is favora-
bic, can be selected that in point of talents
and qualifications will compete with Mr.
Sco6eld
1t is time. and this will be the OCCASION
for, the Republican party to rebuke all at
tempts TO elevate inferior men to important
positions. We are aware that Mr. Scofield'S
friends will have to combat the cupi!iIy
and money influence of aspirants and their
hopeful hackers We know the position is
one to be coveted and aSpired after, but the
desires of no one should be encouraged who
i. not fully qualified to fil the position in
the ablest and most satisfactory manner"

An ATentipp O. Scene

The Richmond Enquirer, of few days
since, has the following:
An affecting scene took place few davs
since, at the police station, which melted
more than one heart to tears. A young
man Of respectable connections had been ar
rested for drunkenness and disorderly con
duct, and was raving like a maniac in his
cell when his aged mother, at ired in widows
weeds, entered the station house and re-
quested to be allowed an interview. The
reyuest was granted. and she stood face TO
face with her erring son. The surprise So
bered him for moment, and he greeted her
with manly tenderness, but the demon of
in'oAiUaoiUu 1rolso fnrfh in fresh raw
ings. The mother endeavored to calm and
soOthe him, but without avail his dulled
ears were deaf even TO the tones Of mater
nal love, and retiring from the cell she sank
into a seat, while the sobs, so long choked
down burst forth in passionate vehemence
for her son-her fallen son, her fond hope
and pride, the prop and stay of her old age
for whom she would willingly have laid
down her own life. For two hours her un-
controllable agitation had full sway, and
then with an effort at caimness, she depart
ed. Ii was a scene which none cauld view
without emotion, and spoke in thunder
toues of the evils of strong drink. For our
own sake, for our mothers sake, and for
Gods sake, spurn the intoxicating bowl 1t
is fraught with ruin to body and soul; it is
a liquid fire; distilled damnatiou, the
strongest weapon Of all the devils enginry.
Don't drink. The ruby bowl nay invite,
but there is death in every sparkle; tears
and sighs in every glowing Drop 1t will
deprive you of health, fortune, reputation
and friends; mar your every prospect, and
blight your every hope, bring down the gray
hairs OF your parents in sorrow to the grave
and finally consign you a poor. bloated. dis
tracted wreck, to a rauper's trench in
potter field. Boys don. drink.
