charged that the Governor Of the

introduced. Such testimony was
the brought before the House as
went to show that Rosa had VIC
lated the rules Of the prison, and
had subjected himself to punish

MED that be had been harshly
dealt with. After these official
declarations, the matter was not

no doubt hat the condition Of

The New York Evening Post
saws that DR.. Jarvis, OF Boston,
has. al the request Of Revenue
Commissioner Wells, after elabor-
ato examination Of facts and ag-
ures furnished by the Govern
ment, and from other sources,
made an estimate Of the probable
wealth and population Of the
country in 1870. The method by
which he arrives ct his results are
Of interest only to statistiCians
the results themselves ere OF
wider interest.
He believes that in June, 1870,
the United States will contain w.
6l3,ll5 persons, Of whom 4,466,.
AIS will be blacks; and the old
free States will have %, 76S,57l
persons, against 13,s44,544 in the
old slave States. This would be
an increase for the whole country
of over eight millions in the last
ten years. ,,
AS to wealth, he estimates that
Of the whole country next June at
1927, 443, 1856 O7, Of which, in
round numbers, eighteen and 3
half billions will be In real estate,
and eight and three-quarters in
personal. This is On increase OF
over ninety-One per cent. since
1860.
He estimates that the wealth Of
the country, divided annually
among the people, would give, in

Remembering how near the

How TO IMPROVE OUR SANITARl
CoHDiTIoN.-A great cause Of dis
ease is improper food and hurried
eating. In order fully to under.
stand how to eat and how to con,
duct ourselves after eating, it is nee.
essary that we should be acquainted,
in some measure, with the process OF
nutrition. Many persons tumble
their food precipitately into their
mouths and swallow it without mas
tication, contrary to express laws of
nature. Food should undergo thor
ough mastication and salvation be-
fore it enters the quodenum and be.
comes mixed with the bile and pam
creatic juices. This bile Is there Sc
creted by the liver. The chyme
having undergone the change advert
ed to is urged, by the peristaltic mo-
tion ofthe intestines, onward through
the alimentary canal. If the peris-
taltic motion be diminished, owing
to the deficiency of bile, the pro-
gress of digestion is retarded and the
bowels become constipated and dys-
pepsia often follows. In such cases
a thorough and active cathartic
should be used to produce specific
action, arousing the Secretion and
producing free bilious excavations.
The best article for this purpose is
DR.. Roback's Blood Pills, the use of
which should be followed by Ro-
backs Stomach Bitters, to give tone
to the stomach and aid digestion.
