THE INAUGURAL.

The inaugural of Gen Grant, delivered
on taking the oath of Office as President
of the United States, will be read wirh
pleasure by all who confidently looked to
him as the vindidator and supporter of the
great principles IF the party which elected
him to his present position. II starts out
boldly by saying that he did not seek the
Presidential office, which is the truth. The
President next alludes to the necessity of
collecting the revenues and harvesting the
public resources, declaring in the same con.
nection thet he will not admit any but
competent and honest men in the public
service. Ifhe succeeds in this, he need
do no more to render his country immense
service ; aud if he rids the revenue service
of the thieves who are now fattcning on it,
and declines to appoint men as bad in their
stead, he will not have flied half his first
term until the reduction of our debt and
taxation vii! ast9nish the world. For the
payment of that debt the President pledges
himself, emphatically declaring that every
dollar of it must be met. The case of the
Indian tribes is discussed in manner
which will result in legislation ultimately
to admit them all to citizenship Of the
United States.
OF suffrage he speaks as follows :
The question Of suffrage is one which is
likely to agitae the public attention 50 long
as portion Of the citizens OF the nation are
excluded from its privileges in any State
1t seems to me very desirable that this
question should be settled now, and | en-.
tertain the hope and express the desire it
may be By the ratification of the fifteenth
article Of the amendment to TIE Cunstiu-
ton.
In conclusion, ask patient for5carancc,
one towards another throughout the land,
and determined effort on the part Of every
citizen to do his share towards cementing
happy union, and ask the prayers of the
nation to Almighty God in behalf Of this
consummlton.

Position in Sleeping.

It is.better to go to sleep on the right
sida says Halls Joornal Of Health, for
then the stomach is very much in the posi-
ton of a bottle turned upside down, and
the contents of it are aided in passing out
by gravitation. If one goes to sleep on the
left side, the operation Of emptying the
stomach of its contents is mDre like draw.
Ing water from well.
After going to sleep, let the body take
its own position, If you sleep on your
back, especially soon after a hearty meal
the weight of the digestive organs and that
of the food resting on the greai vein Of the
body, near the back bone, congresses it,
and arrests the flow of the blood more or
less. II the arrest is partial, the sleep is
disturbed, and there is unpleasant dreams.
If the meal has been recent and hearty, the
arrest is more decided and the various
sensations, such as falling over a precipice,
or the pursuit Of the wild beasts, or ether
impending dangers aud the desperate eft.

suned that there was no doubt about what
that declaration would be, but after con.
sideration have come to the conclusion

TIE printers who formerly stuck type at
the side Of Horace Greeley have died out
OF the Office, and Horace himself, though
Il practical printer, rarely visits the com.
posing room. The last time the writer saw
him at work in the composing room was at
three O'Clock in the morning following
President LineOln's election, when he ran
his eye over the type of the New York
election table on the editorial page, aud
sudden y cried out /: Here, Sam, bring
me bodkin some id fool has spelled
Allegany with an" h." And thoug h the
prsssmen were impatiently Changing the
bells for the forms. Horace deliberately
drew jack knife from Lis pocket and dug
|" h " out of Allegany before he would
allow the forms to so down.
