breeds decentralization dangerous
to tile perpetuity Of republican gov
eminent. We therefore regard such
thorough reforms Of civil service as
IRE of the most pressing necessities
of the hour that honesty, capacity,
and fidelity constitute the only valid
claims to public employment that
the offices Of the Government cease
to be n matter Of arbitrary favorit-
ism and patronage, AMI that public
station become again a post of hon
or. To this end it is imperatively
required that no President shall be
candidate for reelection.
6. We demand n system of Fed
eral taxation which shall not nnnec-
essary interfere with the industry of
the people, and which shall provide
the means necessary to pay the ex-
penses of the Government, ecomoni-
cnlly administered +; The pensions,
The interest on the public debt, and
I. moderate reduction annually Of the
principal thereof and recognizing
that there are III our midst homes,
but irreconcilable differences Of opiI-
ions with regard to the respective
systems Of protection and free trade,
we remit the discussion of the sub
ject to the people, in their Congress,

of Cons ress thereon, wholly free of
Executive interference or dictation.
Z. The public credit must be sd,
credly maintained, and we lcnource
Reputation IN every form and g,1jsc.
s. A steady return to specie pay
ment is demanded alike by the high
est considerations of commercial
morality and honest government.
8. We remember with gratitude
the heroism aud sacrifices of the sol
dicrs and sailors Of the republic, and
no act of ours Shall ever detract
from their justly earned fame, or the
full reward Of their patriotism.
10. We are opposed to all fur

II. We hold that it is the dnty
of the Government, in It's Intercourse

friendship of peace, by treating with
all on fair and equal telms, regard

Observations on Diet, Etc.

QUININE should not be eaten after
hearty meal of India rubber the sperma-
ceti contained in the former will unite
with the oxalic acid of the latter, and
wagon grease will be involved with disas-
trous results. Before taking a bath the
entire body should be carefully washed.
Then lay on coating of tar and get into
the water. 1t cannot touch anywhere. 1t
is not so fashionable as it was to chop
cord of wood before breakfast none but
very old men, who cling to the traditions
of youth like a lean leach to a stuffed
frog, ever do it, and they commonly per-
ish at it. Getting out of bed in perspir-
alton is to be avoided-always lie in bed
as long as you can find any excuse for 1t.
Nothing is more injurious than the ordi-
nary method of going up stairs !; it causes
the alkaline in the blood to settle in the
cOrns, producing aneurism and strangu-
latiOn. The proper way is to lie on your
stomach and go up feet first. Never
sleep with your eyes shut; it is degener-
ate habit. Bathing, as intimated above,
is conducted on a wrong principle. 1t is
vantageously abolished altogether. Bath
houses and bathing rooms in dwellings
are a thing of recent growth. Our grand
fathers seldom or never bathed and it is
conceded that they lived to be several
hundred years old. Potatoes should al
ways be eaten with the skins on; skins
contain bi-carbonate Of mucilage, which
is just what the liver requires. When the
custom of giving the skins to the poor
originated, science was almost wholly I'M
known. There are more things it would
be well to know, but strict compliance
with the rules already given will enable
you to live as long as you will wish TO.
Further instructions would but prolong
your misery.-Erening Post.

eral use. The supply of that timber it is
said, however, will not last over period
of more than twenty years.
A CURIOUS and perhaps important dis
covery has been made recently by NJ.
Kletzinsky, Viennese professor. No
ticing that persons sick with the small
poX were often visited by flies, he placed
near an open window of the hospital a
saucer filled with glycerine. Soon the
flies gathered and were caught like birds
with glue. In their endeavOrs to free
themselves, all the foreign matter which
had adhered to them was left in the gly
cerine, which was at once submitted to
the action of microscope. 1t was found
that this substance, which was chemically
pure when offered to the flies, was full of
strange cells very like those seen on per-
sons attacked by the smallpox, but never
on flies. This discovery proves conclu-
sive!y that these parasitical insects are
not only filthy: but can be very dan
gerous means of spreading contagious dis
eases.

Say, what makes it look so awful
queer The dirt won't come off," said
Emma.
81 don't KNOW" said Ellie, rejecting.
Why, I'll tell you We didn't know
much, did we? We must put soap on
them, of course "
So they got mammals soap-dish, and
soaped the clothes with Lubin's soap,
putting it on freely. Swash, splash, and
scrub again, until both of the children,
and everything within reach, were about
as wet as the clothes in the tub. Still the
dirt didn't come out.
elbow funny the water looks What's
the matter of it ?" asked Emma.
~ don't know" said Ellie, puzzled.
"What shall we do?" asked Emma,
who was beginning to think that washing
was not so much fun after all. Ellie,
who did not know any more than she did
what to do, said gravely:
"Sister, it's awful naughty to go jump
ing into mortar-beds and spelling your
pretty little dress"
Emma began to cry. That cheered
Ellie up. 1t was popularity of the
twins, that if one was sorrowful the other
was not; and when ore was naughty the
other was almost always as good as she
could be. Their mamma thought it very
convenient to have them so.
''See here, sister," she said brightly, :
81 know. We must put something on to
take it off-that's the way to do it."
"What? Put on what ?" asked Emma
vaguely
"rll find something" and Ellie looked
about. "Oh here's some cologne, that's
nice ~
So they poured cologne on themselves
and the clothes until the room seemed to
them like big colognebottle.
" 1t don't do bit O. good" said Emma
in despair.
Ellie got her papa's "cocoaine," and
began pouring that on plentifully.
IF this won't do it," she said solemnly,
as she poured, "we'n try the pallogolic.
That's kind o. strong, you know"
Just then Bridget, hearing little voices
in the bathroom, tried the door, and
knocking and shaking the door, telling
them to let her in. She, very naturally,
wanted to see what was going on.
But Ellie would not let her in, though
Bridget pounded, scoIded, and coaxed.
Not until her mamma came, a half-hOur
afterward, would she open the door.
Mamma and Auntie Nell saw two little
girls that looked as if they had just been
dragged out of pond. No wonder
mamma looked sober for a moment.
Bridget had told her that. "those children
were up to some dreadful mischief, she
was sure she couldn't tell what"
thought they looked so cunning, that
mamma fsrgave them, and in a half-hour
two sweeter little girls in white dresses
and blue ribbon sashes had never been
seen before-at least, not by Auntie Nell.
But ever since then, whenever papa
wants to tease, he calls them his 'littlc
washer women. "-Hearh and Home.

Eccentricfty.

THE following singular instance
eccentricity, illustrating the close connec
ton of this condition of the mind with
insanity, is related by Professor Ham
mond in his work on diseases of the nerv-
Gus system.
A lady had since her childhood shown
a singularity of conduct as regarded her
table furniture, which she would have of
no other material than copper. She
carried this fancy to such an extent that
People laughed at her, and tried to reason
her out of her whim, but in vain. In no
other respect was there any evidence of
mental alteration. She was Intelligent,
by no means excitable, and in the enjoy
ment of excellent health. An uncle had,
however. died insane. A tritling circum-
stance started in her new train of
thought, and excited emotions which she
could not control. She read in the morn
ing paper that Mr.. Kopperman had ar
rived at one of the hotels, and she an
nounced her determination to call on him.
Her friends endeavored to dissuade her,
but without avail. She went to the hotel
and was told that he had just left for Chi
cago. Without returning to her home.
she bought ticket for Chicago, and
actually started on the next train for that
city. The telegraph, however, overlook
her, and she was brought back from Ro-
chester raving of her love for a man
whom she had never seen, and whose
name alone had been associated in her
mind with her fancy for copper table
furniture. She died of acute mania with
in a month -ScribH6r's fer Iugua.

A WORD FOR THE CHILDREN

Children, make your mother happy,
Make her sing instead of sigh
For the mournful hour of parting
May be very, very nigh.
Children, make your mother happy;
Many griefs she has to bear;
And she wcaries meath her burdens
Can you not those burdens share!
Children, make your mother happy;
Prompt obedience cheers the heart,
While a wilful disobedience
Pierces like poisoned dart.
Children, make your mother happy;
On her brow the lines of care
Deepen daily-don't you see them!-
While your own are smooth and fair.
Children, make your mother happy;
For beneath the coffin-lid
All too soon her face, 80 saint-like,
Shall for evermOre be hid.
Bitter tears and self-upbraidings
Cannot bring her back again;
And remorseful memories
Are legacy of pain.
oh, begin to-day, dear children,
Listen when dear mother speaks
Render quick and sweet obedience;
For your highest good she seeks
Loves you better than all others
For your sake herself denies
She is patient, prayerful, tender,
Gentle, thoughtful, true and wise.
Though you search the rounded earth,
Will you find a friend more faithful
Than the one who gave you birth.

THE death of an old man at Mapping
cr's Falls, Duchess County, n. Y, few
days ago, ended a novel bargain, in which
more was paid than was intended to be
paid. About twenty five years ago, when
the old man was about eighty years old
he was a partner in n manufacturing es-
tablishment, which he started and built up,
afterwards taking in two other partners
These, after learning the business, wanted
to shove the old man out, but didn't sue
coed until they promised to pay him
81 600 year until he died. So the old
man retired, but lived on. In course of
time the younger partners died. Their
sons succeeded them, and they, too, died
before the old man, who continued in the
enjoyment of his 81 900 income for years
after they were buried, and at last died,
at the age, it is said, of 104 years.
