"a man who would be a good worker"
says Henry. Ward Beecher, "must be a
good sleeper. The quality of mental &C.
tivity depends upon the quality Of sleep
Men need on an average eight hours OF
sleep day. A lymphatic man is sluggish,
moves and sleeps slowly. But nervous
man acts quickly in verything. He does
more in an hour than sluggish man in two
hours, and so in his sleep. Every man must
sleep according to his temperament-but
eight hours is the average. Whoever by
work, pleasure or sorrow, or by any other
cause, is regularly diminishing his sleep, is
destroying his life. A man may hold out
for time, but the crash will come, and he
will die. There is great deal of intem-
perance beside that of tobacco, opium or
brandy. Men are dissipated who overtax
their system all day and undersleep every
night

j. snra to be the best of its kind, while in
the line of teas, particularly, no store in

great experience in selecting the articles in
which he deals, and prides himself especial
ly upon supplying his customers in a man

Therefore, we think that his store should

AN ENTERE-TING MEMENTO.

| To know the late Richard Yates, in tbs
| days OF his vigorous mental and physical
prime, from 1861 up to 1867, was to love and
| respect him as no common man could be
| loved and respected. He was the very per
sonihcation of honor, truth end patriotic
| ardOr, and his personal esteem and endorse
ment WAS proud distinction for the highest
| In the land. 1t is this undisputed fact that
| renders so valuable a brief autograph note
| which We print below and which we give
| the history of.
| At the date of it December, 1861, our
| Governor was organizing q cavalry regi-
ment, which be after ward commanded with
| credit in the field, and it was business re-
lating to this command thai took him to
Cairo. We preface the introductory note
given him by bis loved friend with one of
| much later date from the PRESENT postmas
ter at Fredericksburg. Virginia, showing
how this interesting document has been pre-
served all these years. and now comes to us
with the old frank and manly ring about it
still OF Illinois great war Governor:
FREDER1cKsBURG. Virginia,
DecelnSer3 3, 1873.
His Excellency Governor W. P. Kellogg Louisiana
DEAR GovERFOR-I served as clerk at
General Grants headquarters. from Vicks
burg till he was iDaugurated President and
l possessed the confidence of that truly
noble and good man, General Rawlins. l
was detailed as clerk from the Twenty
ninth Illinois Infantry Volunteers, and re-
ceived the position 1 now occupy through
the recommendation of the late General
RawIns.
When the headsuarters' papers were
being overhauled by Colonel Bowers at
Nashville number of them were con-
signed to destruction. The inclosed was
taken possession of by me because of it's
bearing the autograph of our distinguished
Governor and afterward State Senator.
Now that the Governor has been gathered
TO his fathers. and / believe the Colonel
Kellogg introduced in the accompanying
note is now the Governor of Louisiana, l
thought it would possess peculiar interest,
and therefore incsose it to you.
trrst your efforts to secure an honest re-
publican government in Louisiana may be
crowned with abundant success.
Yours very truly,
Here is the inoiosure:
