All that we ask Is that no class OF our citl-
zeus may be induced to vote for or against
a candidate because Of his conscientious
convictions Of religious duty or because Of
his nationality. The suggestion Of another

tween Pinch and Sodom, and hat tbetWo

is surely unfounded. No sdroitness Oh =
Radical lecturer of loyal leagues can prlnE
ahont this result, and no force of national

combination, Therefore we thought The

THE APPEAL was the first of American
ewspspsrs TO propose an amendment of
the Federal Constitution, and the Federal
Congress is now considering the PROPOSE
ton, by which a foreign-born citizen msy
be eligible TO the Office of president of the
United States. The APPEALS soundness
on this question OF perfect political and
socisl equality can never be questioned,
It is not strange, therefore, that the AP-

WYOMING TERRITORY has had the bene-
at OF "woman suffrage" for the first yesr
or two of its existence as 3 territory.
While there were nc women there, or ex-
tremsly few, no serious inconvenience
wss found in the arrangement but the
sbsurdity of it becomes apparent as the
territory begins to be settled with fami-
lies. A bill TO take away the ballot from
women is now called for by 8 large ma
jority of the people; has passed both
houses of the legislature, and, after q
veto from the governor, has again passed
the house of representatives with only
two opposing votes. But in the senate 1t
is lost for want OF one more vote to make
the two-thirds required; snd thus the re-
form will have to wait one year longer.

DUTY.
The time designated by law for regis
trstlon expired yestesday, and 1t viii be
seen that more than ordinary interest has
been exhibited, as the registration Is
larger than usual. This argues well for
the future Of Memphis. It indicates that
the people feel an interest in the futuIe
prosperity of the city. The friends OF
John johnson, having secured their GER
tifcstes Of registration, must now dis
charge the still more important duty of
voting. Under a government founded on
the representative principle, neglect to
vote is a folly which is b beginning Of
many troubles, and n which never fails
to leave wide open the door for the waste
ful entrance Of corruption. Neglected
bsIlot-boxss are the fruitful causes Of
maIadministrstion and the index fingers
which point out the corrupting way by
which incompetent, u~ascrupulous and az
piring demsCoguss ascend 70 office. These
are truisms which nave been so often re.
pested in the cars of the people that It
would seem hat they should have
msde an indelible impression on
the public mind, while experience gives
them an Endorsement 30 strong and I'M
varying that we might expect to ind their
vital Importance universally scknowl-
edged, and earnestly put into practice.
But, lsmsntabls to say, the reverse has
heretofore besn the fact. a change, how
ever. 10 going on. The people in other
cities, VINO, diAgusted with the potency of
rings, have Lost AL interest in elections,
are accusing themselves, and express q
determination, for the future, to do their
duty. Tho large registration indicates
tina the same spirit has taken root in
Memphis. II those who rave registered
will turn out and vote, John Johns0nis
majority will reach six thousand. En-
tbusissm for The peoples cause is excel

worthy; but voting is Indispensable to
It VIII cost but little trouble and

DR.. Hall on dyspepsia.

Or. Hall says: The first great point
in the cUTt II dyspepsia, j. to eat bat
little AT time. And without gong
into detail "a to other measures to be
taken, it is OfimDOrtance to add, that
Is the stomach Is weak in dyspepsia,
in fact is the essence of tine disease, the
food given il should not only be small
in amount, but it should be such as is
most easily worked up, most easily
converted into blood; for from the
blood all the strength comes. As the
flesh Of animals, fish and poultry is
nearer Icing flesh of our flesh, and
bone Of our bone, than vegetables, so
meat i more easily worked up hCy the
stomach, 10 impart nutTiment to the
system and make good blood, than
vegetables; and as breai is the staff Of
life, the main food of the dispeptic
should be meat and bread, the most
tender OF meat properly broiled, and
well baked, common wheat bread,
several days old, or, what is better,
the product Of the grain made up with
water only aud little salt, formed
into thin, small cakes, and baked
quickly in hot oven, pan or skillet,
and eaten cold or hot. As it requires
about four hours for the .tOmach 10
digest such 8 meal, it must have rest
after work, Just as the hands and feet
require rest after their work. there
should be at least five hours between
the meals of dyspeptics, and not an
atom Of anything should he eaten be-
tween. AS, therefore, there should he
at least five hours interval between
meals for dyspeptics, snd it is not
necessary To eat at night, for then We
are asleep, IL follows that We should not
eat Oftener than thrice day.
But it would be OF little use to get
the nutriment out of the food and
make il into blood, unless it were con-
veyed to every part of the system, to
reach every fibre, so as 10 impart
strength TO limbs, and brains, and
lungs; 10 90 this, exercise must be
taken, for without exercise the blood
begins 10 stagnate in half an hour,
gathers round the heart, leaving the
feet and hands cold and the skin chit
ly and easy to take cold. And as ev-
cry part OF thesystem of the dyspeptie
is weak, il Is important that the exer-
else taken should be active enough to
send the blood TO the rena est parts;
and as meals are taken three times :.
day, the exercise should be taken three
times day
And as the blood gets the greater
part of its life from pure All, and as
there is no pure air except that out of
doors, the exercise of the dyspeptic
should be in the open air; and as exer-
else is more exhilarating, carries the
mind more away from the body and
passes time more pleasurably, it is of
great impOrtanc that the exercise
should be agreeable, should interest,
and even absorb the whole attention;
and since taking the world as it is, the
most agreeable thing to the masses is
making money, that man soonest will
get well Of dyspepsia who steadily fol-
lows nut~dOOr occupation which is ell
couragingly remunerative.

4 New Way of Heating Cities.

Among the many Improvements
in cities which the rebuilding Of
Chicago has suggested, is that of
heating the entire city with steam in
manner very similar to that by
which it was formerly lghtcd-by
means of pipes running under the
ground from some central reservoir
to each house, thus doing. away for
ever with the annoyance caused by
bad coal, damp wood, kindlings, &c.
1t may be doubted whether the time
is ripe for so extensive an improve
ment; but when We remember that
steam may be forced through these
pipes to an immense distance, with
very slight dlminution of heat, and
at the rate of seven miles per minute,
it does indeed seem as if the day
could not be far distant when 3 prse-
teal application shall be made Of
