Lost Health Regained.

Self-neglect lays the foundation of much bodily
suffering. As a rule men are more solicitous to re-
pair and preserve their houses, stock in trade and
other pershable property than to repair and
themselves. They can see when wall requires a
prop, or weak structure girder, but appear to be
unconscious Of or Indifferent to, the cracks and flaws
and evidences of decay in their frail and sens-
tive organizations l.-f.
The consequence of this want of common prudence
is that thousands fall by the wayside in the prime of
life every year who might have lived to enjoy hale
and hearty old age if they had resorted the proper
means ofrecruing their failing vgor at the proper
time. .., t- aa.4 .ra.
Seeing what that famous vitalizing and invigora-

Political Notes.

Pike County, Pennsylvania, is stronghold
of the Democratic party and, in common with
Berks County, is credited with the possession
of that discreet and eminently conservative
Democrat who still votes for Andrew Jack
son. 1t has, says Mr.. Greeley,-or rather
said Mr.. Greeley in his Republican days.
Give gallons of whiskey to every spelling
book" Nevertheless, we now learn from
the news columns of the Tribune that the
Democrats of Pike County are one and all in
favor of Mr.. Greeley as their candidate. Has
Mr.. Greeley been secretly engaged in the
tobacco business, and has his distillery sup
piled the five gallons of whiskey which in Pike
County coexist with one-fifth the number of
spelling-books?
After the nomination of Greeley at Cincin-
natl, Ex-Governor Koerner, of Illinois, who
was vice-president, openly repudiated the
ticket. A few days later a letter was publish
ed over his name, warmly endorsing Greeley.
He has since been out in a card pronouncing
that letter forgery. But later he has &C
cepted the Democratic-Liberal nomination
for Governor and is probably settled. But
what about his previous numerous denials

Mr.. Greeley'S Friends.

An Associated Press despatch from Green's
borough, North Carolina, says:
Judge Settle Republican candidate for Con-
gress in the fifth district, addressed the citizens
of Caswell county at Yancyvile, Saturday.
Some of his opponents attempted to stop his
speaking. They went to the stage and threat
ened him if he continued his speech. He de-
fled them ard by his resolutemanner prevented
them from using personal violence. Others of
his opponents insisted on fair hearing. This
brought on a general fight among the anti
Grant men, in which rotten eggs were thrown
mt an American flag with the names of Grant
and Wilson and Settle printed upon it. The
Judge hually made his speech.
Thus early in the campaign the Tu-Klux
tendencies of Mr. Gleeley's newly found friends
are evident A year ago the Tribune would
have demanded federal interference, but that
was before the editor dreamed of being a candi-

THE Boston Advertiser in noticing the defeat
of the Portland and Ogdensburg loan says:
On the one side there was an advantage to
ed; on the other side a very heavy debt 1t was
proper that Portland should decide the question
for herself, but we cannot help thinking that
the majority of the voters took the right view.
1t is too late to discuss the principle of munich
case in which it was clearly for the interest of
a city to aid railroad, that case has just been
before the city of Portland. The benefits of
the road, if it should be built, would be almost
entirely hers, and no one can fail to see that
freight from the West Boston will certainly
not become melancholy over the result of the
vote, which certainly indicates short-sighted-
ness on the part of the people of Portland
which their former enterprise had not led us to
exDect.

A NOVEL SUIT.-A case somewhat novel in
its details was on Tuesday concluded in the Bal
timore city court, where it had been removed
from the circuit court of Baltimore county,
The main points in the case are these: SIN
1864, a son of Mr.. William Gent, residing in
the eighth district of Baltimore county, was
drafted in the federal army, and the father not
wishing that the son should enter the service,
induced his indentured apprentice, Jacob Cole,
a colored boy, to believe that he had been
drafted and must obey the summons. The COL
cred boy demurred at first, but believing that
he was in duty bound to do the bidding of his
master entered the army and there remained
until the close of the war. The father of the
boy Cole then entered a suit against Mr.. Gent
laying damages at $4,000, but the jury Tuesday
decided that $500 was sufficient damages and
awarded that amount

fattering self-assurances that slavery cannot
exist under the shadow of the cross of st.
George; but facts are stubborn things, and no
amount of patriotic rhetoric, corrective or
denial, can upset their testimony. Nearly
thirty years ago England negotiated treaty
with the Sultan of Zanzibar, with the object Of
gaming footing in the more civilized portion
Oh AFRICA, and as an inducement for the Sultan
to replace himself in state of vassalage al
lowed him to continue his nefarious traffic in
slaves. From Zanzibar the poor wretches are
sold into Turkey and Arabia and other eastern
and no effort is made by the British Govar39tt
ment to stop this infamous traffic from which
she draws a dividend in the shape of the Sni-
tan's allegiance. .-

But if the good people of Long Branch wish

substantial changes, which are: First, the time
during which bankrupts may be discharged up
on payment of fifty per cent. of their indebted
ness is extended until July i, 1873; life insur-
ance policies to the amount of $4,000 are ex-
empted from assets available for creditors, and
all judgments obtained against parties or prop
erty before petitions filed are to be first and
fully satisfied. 1t. also allows all exemptions
allowed by any State law on the LIST of Janu-
airy, 1871. This will save to bankrupts in Vir-
ginia $4,000 worth of property. 1t also ex-
empts widows dover, or other estate in lieu
