WAsHINGToN, Jan. 6. 1873.

The attempt to set up the Nc
Emery government will prove a
still more ridiculous farce than the
effort to inargurate the Garter Leg
islature. The abstract question Of
what ought to be has been tempor-
arily suspended in favor Of the ac,
tual fact as to what is. We have "A
government that came into power
contrary to any precedent i'll the
history of these American States,
but that does not say the govern
ment is a bad one or that it is not
the legal one. Some say it was as
sisted by fraud, to which the reply
is made that those who a1ege fraud
were themselves the first TO employ
it, and not only that, but violence.
The charge and the counter charge
offset each other, and leave us where
we started in presence OF the actual
TACT that there is a government in
Louisiana, which the United States
supports and upholds, and which
10 amount of noise and confusion
will be allowed to overthrow. This
government was not the one or our
choice in all its parts, but being the
government we accept it, because it
is better to do that under the cir
cumstances that to go swelling
around with selfih anG, sometimes
alt-drunken mob to overcome it.
Some reformers are worse than the
evils they seek to relieve us of, and
that il the sort whose lead we re-
fuse to follow in the present in-
stance.
II the people, then, GO about their
business and quit the consideration
Of politics until the next election,
they will soon stop the present con-
fusion, and the country at Large will
hardly know whether K'sllogg or
McEnery is governor La. State

No New Deal

The Picayune commenting upon
several propositions TO settle the
election difficulties in this State, is
violently opposed to the suggestion
of Col. Jno. w. Forney, editor of
the Chronicle in Washington City
and the Press in Philadelphia, that
there should be an entire new cleo
ton. Nothing could more clearly
demonstrate the fact claimed by the
Republican party, that Louisiana
is Republican State and would
under a fair election give Repub-
lican majority, than this opposition
of the leading or at least one of the
leading organs of the Democratic or
Fusion party to a plan certainly
the easiest and shortest way to end
the dispute. We for one should be
gh,i to see it adopted, for if it was,
nothing but the most stupid folly
aud blindness in the Republican
party in nominating men every way
unfit and unworthy of Office could
prevent their success, whilst should
they adopt SO suic idal policy de-
feat would be as certain as it would
be deserved.

Plants In Rooms.

Mr.. Wick in his Floral Gaade for 1878,
gives the following hints and illustrations
on this topic:
In regard to house plants, I would re-
mark that few plants can endure the high
temperature and dry atmosphere of most
of our living rooms. The temperature
should not be allowed to go above seven
ty in the day time, and not below forty
in the night. AS much air and light as
possible should be given, while the leaves
should be sprinkled frequently A spare
room, or parlor, or extra bedroom, is bet
ter for plants than living room. 4 bay
window connected with warm room,
especially if facing south or east, makes
an excellent place for keeping plants in
winter. 1t should have glass doors on
the inside, which can be closed part of
the time especially when sweeping and
busting. The main thing in keeping
house plants in health is to secure an
even temperature, moist atmosphere, and
freedom from dust. Sprinkle the leaves
occasionally, and when water is needed
use it freely. If the green fly, Or aphis,
appears, wash with soap-suds frequently,
and occasionally with little tobacco
water, Or a decoction of quassia chips. Oc-
casionally, but not often, worms appear
in the pots. This can be avoided in a
great measure by careful potting A lit
tie weak lime water is sometimes of bene-
fit in such cases, also five drops Of liquid
ammonia to gallon of water, though,
perhaps, the better way is to repot, re-
moving the earth carefully, so as not to
lnjure the growth of the plants.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1873-03-20

When the danger really exists it may gen.
orally be remedied rather by re-distribut
ing the burden than by diminishing
1t A very slight physical exertion
may injure man for life, if only he un-
dertakes it in the wrong way. Try to
lit thousand pounds weight by sud-
den jerk, and YOU may probably break q
blood vessel Divide the weight into ten
portions, and lift each calmly by itself,
and the exercise may do you good. Run
a mile after hearty meal, and you may
be injured for life; walk ten miles a day
and you may materially improve your
health. The same principle is applica-
BILE to intellectual labor. To lay down
any general rules is impossible. because
constitutions vary infinitely. One man
requires twice as much sleep as another;
one man can do work before breakfast
when another finds it answer better to sit
up at night; and SO on. A few practical
rules win be learnt by practice. The
Lancet, for example, in sensible
paper on the subject, remarks upon
the Importance for men who work
at night of having white power
full and steady light concentrated
J upon their papers; Pickering and diffused
| lipht being one of the most serious causes
of brain irritation. Good food, with a
| moderate supply of stimulants, and a
final pipe before turning into bed, is a
comfortable recommendation of the same
authority; whilst, Of course, excess in
tobacco and alcohol is a constant cause
of the incapacity for sleep which is often
complacently attributed to overwork
The rule is. in short, that a man should
take care that he gets good sleep and keeps
his digestion in order. A little UMPIRE
JUDGED observation of his own symptoms
will teach a man of ordinary sense how
to keep himself in health; and, by judi
cious arrangement of his time and
habits, he will find that he can do as
much work with perfect impunity as will
serve him, if he 50 pleases, with an ad
mirable excuse for committing suicide
and becoming text for leading articles.
1t is not overwork that should be de
nounced, but the bad habits for which
work is made to serve as an excuse. Eat
too much, drink too much, smoke too
much, and do everything in hurry and
at the wrong time, and five hours day
may send you to an early grave. Show a
little common sense, and without injuring
your health you may be as voluminOus an
author as Voltaire, or do as much legal or
official work as the most industrious min
lister or barrister of the day, and see your
children's children, and laugh at the de-
generacy of the rising generation in the
twentieth century.-Sdta,day hegleac.
