How TO Do IT.-The following OBJ
servations on diet, habit, etc., will be
found quite valuable as any: Quinino
should not be eaten after hearty meal
Of India rubber; the spermaceti con-
tanned in the former will unite with the
oxalic acid of the latter, aud wagon
grease will be evolved with disastrous re-
suits. Before taking bath the entire
body should be carefully washed.
Then lay on coating of tar and get
into the water. It can't touch you any
where. 1t is not so fashionable as it was
to chop a cord of wood before breakfast; /;
mono but very old men, who cling to the
tradition of youth like lean leach to q
stuffed frog, ever do it, and they com
monty perish at it. Getting out of bed
in perspiration is to bo avoided
always lie in bed as long as you can find
any excuse for it. Nothing is moro in
furious than the ordinary method of
going up stairs; it causes the alkali III
tho blood to settle in the corns, produc.
ing Arianism and straugulation. The
proper way is to lie on your stomach
and go up feet first. Never sleep with
your eyes shut; it is degenerate habit.
Bathing, as intimated above, is conduct
ed on wrong principle. It is proba-
BILE that the custom might be advan-
tageously abolished altogether. Bath
houses and bathing rooms in dwellings
are thing of recentgrowth. Our grand
fathers seldom or never bnthed; and it
is conceded that they lived to be eeve-
raj hundred years old. Potatoes should
always be eaten with skins on; skins
contain bicarbonate of mucilage, which
is just what the liver requires. When
the custom of giving the skins to the
poor originated, science was almost
wholly unknown. There are moro
things it would be we'll to know, but q
strict compliance with the rules already
given will enable you to live as long Of
you will wish to. Further instructions
would not prolong your misery.

A SPRING FEvER.-About this time
look out for the cry OF reform" Il
will come from oil kinds OF people You
will be surprised that those whose whole
livelihood has been gained, and whose
fortunes have grown huge from the
practice of jobbery, bribery and corrup.
ton. should now profess o longing for
return to honesty, purity and ccono-
my. When you remember that the full
brings with it tho general election you
will cease to wonder. The reform fever
is very prevalent biennially, and always
sets in about this time. It RACES until
the second Tuesday in October, when it
subsidies. and there is seldom any return
OF it for the next eighteen months.
Even in the spring previous to tho
election it is not dangerous and mny be
allayed by pill called SO ring nomina

Everybody has heard of Molgan. the
man who was murdered. exported, spi-
rited away, smothered, manned, and in
al! possible ways maltreated by the Free
Masons. Everybody, too. has heard of
how travellers in Egypt, Malta and India
have found him alive and woll at each of
those places. now living as an humble
dervish, now as knight. and now rs O
lonely hermit. Everybody will therefore
be surprised-or MOTTO hear the San
Francisco E:caminer sny that Mr.. H.,
lawyer of San Francisco, told his son
long ago that Morgan was not killed,
but was pnt on board Of British man
of-war. From this son tho E.rnmine, has
learned that in 184S he, the con of Mr..
H., went to Hobartown, in Van Dieman' g
Land, md there met an old friend with
whom he conversed about Morgan. The
Old friend laughed and said, "Morgan is
living here; I will introduce you to him. "
And so he took him to the Office of the
Hobartown Advertiser, where lie met the
veritable Morgan, who told him that ho
could not return to America, even if ho
would. He could not get a permit, and
even could he do so he would be killed
on the passage. So tho recreant Mason
is yet alive and we'll.

HE Color QUESTION. N.-Tho color
question is agitating the Free Masons in
New jersey. Two years ago application
was made to the Grand Lodge of the
State for charter for new lodge in
Newark. to be called Alpha Lodge. It
having been reported that the new lodge
intended to initiate colored men, the ap-
plloants were questioned on that point,
and declared the report false. A charter
was granted to the new lodge, on receiv-
ing which proposals for membership
from dozen colored men were enter
tanned. This created great excitement
among the white Masons throughout the
State, and on the night when the candi.
dates were to be balloted for, the Grand
Marshal OF the State appeared by order
OF the Grand Master, and demanded the
charter of the lodge. He received it,
and Alpha Lodge WAS formally suspend
ed. The matter came up ut the last ses-
sion OF the Grand Lodge of New Jersey.
and, after sharp discussion, the char
ter of Alpha Lodge was restored by O.
vote Of 1l2 to 103. Alpha Lodge then
elected the colored candidates, and be-
gan to give them their degrees. This
action aroused the white Masons to new
Efforts. Trenton Lodge, No. 5, imme-
dately petitioned the Grand Muster to
call special communication of the
Grand Lodge to reconsider its action,
and united effort was made to again
secure the revocation of tho charter of
Alpha Lodge The effort has failed.
Grand Master Paine has refused to con.
vene the Grand Lodge. Mean while
Alpha Lodge had given it's colored breth-
rem the degree of fellow craft, md on
Monday last two black men were raised.
through the aid and assistance of their
white brethren, to the sublime degree of
Master Mason.

has been often demonstrated that there is Just

elder Rothschild, gave his advice once to o

Sonny" Some parties, ignorant Of, or reck-
less Of this advice, have been selling Erie for

the usual method of speculation by selling
first and buying afterward. But too many Of
them did the same thing. and there wasn't
enough stock to go around The consequence
is "corner" in Erie, which prevailed up to

LADIES IN THE COUNCIL ROOM IN GENEVA
The Court of Arbitration for the settlement of
the Alabama claims will assemble in Anal ses-
sion in Geneva to-day. The iynodae v,dgus of
the people will be carefully excluded, and the
council room graced by the presence of a num-
Der of ladies who have been invited to witness,
with other personages, the closing scenes of
the once serious international difficulty. The
ladies will, no doubt, hail the triumph of the
Goddess of Peace with their very sweetest
smiles and unanimously vote old Mars q most
disagreeable, disturbing parsonage.
