Hearty Suppers.

It requires about five hours for the
stomach to work on an ordinary meal
and pass 1t out Of Itself, when It falls
Into a state OF repose. Hence, If a man
eats three times a day his stomach
must work fifteen hours out Of the
twenty-four. But the multitude Of
mechanics who are wildly clamorous
for only eight hours a day, do not
hesitate to impose OIL their stomachs
fifteen hours n day work-or nearly
double. After a nights rest we wake
up with a certain amount Of bodily
vlgor, which Is faithfully portioned
out to every set of muscles, each Its
rightful share, the stomach among
others. When the external body gets
weary after a long days work, the
stomach bears Its share of the fatigue;
but II, when the body is weary with
the days toll, we put IL to bed, giving
the stomach meanwhile a five hours
task, which must be performed, we
impose upon the very best friend we
have-the one that gives us the largest
amount Of earthly enjoyment and II
this overtaxing continues, It must az

body itself will II 1t Is .overworked

meals, then the stomach has no rest
from breakfast In the morning until
one, two, three or four o'clock the
next day. Hence 1t is that so many
persons have dyspepsia; tho stomach

that 1t becomes too weak to work at
all. 1t Is to be hoped that every intel
ligent parent will press these things

like consumption, has Its foundations

From the Milwaukee Sentinel, Sept. 23.]
Through q letter to q prominent citi-
zen We learn that q serious disaster be-
fel the Older circus on Thursday morn
ing. The establishment was on Its an
nual tour through the interior Of the
State, and had entertained the resi-
dents of Reedsburg, when it was In
yolved in o ruinous loss through the
destruction Of q tent aud forty horses.
Older's show combined a circus, NIL
scum and menagerie, and consequently
required a large number of horses for
transportation ofthe wagons and cages.
Of 100 belonging to the Institution, Al
were destroyed by fire.
On the conclusion Of their entertain
ment at Reedsburg, on Wednesday
night, eight horses were provided with
quarters under three large tents on the
place Of exhibition, each containing
respectively %, 81 and % horses. About
2 o'clock In the morning, when nearly
| ready to start for Baraboo, the canvas
men and drivers went to the hotel for
breakfast, leaving no n in charge but
q hostler belonging to ono Of the side
shows. Shortly after their departure
the tent on the eastern extreme Of the
line, filled with straw to a depth OF
three feet for bedding purposes, caught
fire from q torch, and In a short space
OF time 10 horses were roasted to death.
Twenty-one were rescued in a DAM
aged condition, some with their eyes
burned out, some entirely skinned,
and Others with their hoofs 80 badly
burned that blood streamed from their
feet ut every step. They were removed
to the stables Of the Mansion House
and Northwestern Hotel, where, after
inspection number were put to death.
Several of the poor animals, wild with
excitement and pain, strayed off into
| the country, and were found between
three and four miles from the scene Of
the disaster. The ihorses belonged
mainly to the baggage wagons, the
company losing only one ring horse.
The fire was q severe blow to Mr..
Older, whose loss is estimated at $10,-
900. The company, though sadly Grip.
pied by this untoward circumstance,
will, through the energy Of the pro-
prietor, renew its engagements for the
season as soon as he can obtain q new
complement of draught horses. The
main tent, containing the menagerie,
was located at some distance from the
Inflated tent, and therefore escaped
destruction.

The fires which are now prevailing

and streams and all vegetation, and
has parched the ground to such q
depth below the surface that the soil
itself now acts a. q conductor. Living
trees are falling from the action OF the
fire, which undermine them. All out
standing property Is swept away, there
being so little water in available situa-
tions to stop the fires. Barns and their
contents, hay-stacks, cord-wood and

among pine forests In this region, but

TnE FRIENDS or ScHURz.-lt Is sig-
nificant that the warmest word Of az
prevail, and almost the only one, that
has greeted Senator Schurz's recent
attack upon the administration comes
from Southern rebels. "Several hun
bred exc Confederate soldiers" OF all
ranks have written to the Senator to
say that they entertain high admira-
ton for him and for his theories, and
that they honor and revere the
American flag as the assured herald
Of that day when the races of men OF
all conditions will be redeemed and
delivered from all species Of political
and mental thraldom." The address
Is full Of such fine sentiment as this,
and II it seemed to be sincere We might
admire 1t exceedingly. But It Is at
least suspicious that men who fought
the old flag for four years, and strove
desperately to keep an entire race In
thraldom Of the most degrading and
horrible kind, should be found SUP
porting a man who has no other claim
10 prominence at this time than that
he Is the opponent Of the soldier who
fought under the flag and achieved the
disenthralment Of the enslaved race.
Schurz has behind him men who fought
on the side Of the rebellion: Grant Is
supported by that portion OF the ma:
ton which achieved the results OF
which the friends Of Schurz speak In
such pretty language. Under such
circumstances 1t will not be difficult
for the American people to decide
which Of the two men Is moro likely
to occupy the safer position. The
task will be made easier by the fact
thar It Il directly to the interest of the
ex-rebels to support Schurz with en-
thusiasm. for one Of his favorite theor.
les Is that all the ex-rehels In the
South. great and small, should be per-
mitted to participate at once without
restriction In tho government Of the
country.-PaRadelphid Bulletin, Sep
