DeStitutiOn in Nebraska.

There are at least 5000 people living
in eleven counties on the Western Dor
der of Nebraska who will require to be
fed the coming winter. This is the es-
innate OF Gen. James S. Brisbin, who
was commissioned by Gen. Ord to visit
the people of these counties and ascer-
tain their numbers and needs. It is in
the presence of such a fact, and the near
approach of what may be a severe win
ter, that, Notwithstanding the efforts
making for relief by State and local Or
CARNATIONS, we earnestly urge an i'm
mediate appeal to the Secretary of War
to authorize Gen. Ord to issue 400, OG0
rations, more or less, according to their
actual necessities, to these distressed
people, just as was done in the case of
the people of the South in the season Of
the recent Omaha Herald.

Better Times Ahead.

The news as to the condition of the
harvests all over the world is very good.
There is every reason to anticipate a
year Of cheap food, and, as the general
revival of business depends in the long
run on cheap food, it is not unreasona-
BILE to believe that we have seen the
worst OF the dull times, which certainly
could not well be duller than they have
been during the past few months. A
comparison of prices in 1873 and 1874,
made 10y the Economist, shows con-
siderable fill in leading commodities
since last fall, and prices being now IA
vorable to consumers, we may fairly IL
fer that the improved tone in the iron
trade, which is attracting attention ID
England, is prophetic of improvement
IN other branches Of business, here as
well as there. -NeaU York Nation.

Sleep.

Persons who live by mental labor not
only require full supply of sleep, but
they also need letting down gradually
to the level of repose. Hence, the long
er the interval between the time of the
active use of the brain and the hour of
rest, the better the chance of refreshing
and restful sleep.
The An1erdc0n journal Of Insanity
not long since attributed much of the
prevalent nervousness and impaired
health of individuals to the want of
sufficient and quiet rest. 1t says FsTo
procure this it is important, in the first
place, that the mind should not be dis
turbed for several hours before retiring
to rest. Study during the evening is
improper. Some few persons, we know,
are able to perform much mental labor,
and to study late atnight, and yet sleep
well. Some require but little sleep.
But such individuals are very rare"
Another medical authority, the Lancet
places the minimum of sleep at six
hours for men, and seven for women,
with an extra hour or two to be taken
whenever practicable. DR.. Hammond,
an authority on nervous diseases, says !:
-" For the brain there is no rest except
during sleep" Southey slept seven
hours and half at night, but he also
took siesta during the day. "Sleep
agrees with me" he wrote, "and I nave
good substantial theory to prove that
it must for as man who walks much
requires to sit down and rest himself,
SO does the brain if it be tho part most
worked, require its repose."
In respect to sleep, President Grant,
E. e. Hale, and others have confessed
to requiring nine out of twenty-four
hours. Milton in winter invariably
took eight hours repose, and seven in
summer. Humboldt is reported to
have slept but four hours in the twenty
four, but this was in his old age, when
he did not need much sleep, and be-
sides it is said that he was great Gle
a-bed," and spent many hours in this
half-wakeful state.
Campbell slept over seven hours
Douglass Jerrold retired at 10 and rose
about 7, while he slept a little after
dinner. Chief-J Justice Story always
slept eight and often nine hours. John
G. Calhoun went to bed at 10 and rose
at daYbreak. DR.. Arnold allowed him
self about eight hours sleep. Dr.
Charming usually took an after-dinner
nap, besides taking full nights rest.
Melanchthon used to take but six hours
rest, but he would not even open let
ter in the evening, and retired at g.

The Revival of Trade.

The Toronto Globe, speaking in re-
cent issue of the revival of trade in the
United States, remarks that the fact
that a few days since $3,000,0 1000 worth
of New York Central railway bonds
were sold in London at 105 is sufficient
proof of itself of return of confidence
in American securities, and of the pleth-
ora of money in the European ex-
changes waiting for investment. This
is but one straw which points to better
times. Business men in New York pre-
dict a sound and healthy fall and winter
traffic. Orders from the interior null
tiply, and collections are made with ease.
The export trade in grain has
been stimulated by the recent ad-
vance of wheat in the Liverpool
market. It is known that the
last years grain crop has been pretty
exhaustively depleted by the uninter-
mitted orders for export, and the do
nestle as we'll as the foreign demand
for the grain of the current year must
keep accumulation down and transport
alton active. The consequence is, that
the feeling in the great business centers
is excellent, nor are any approximations
felt of q change for the worse. The re-
ports from the Internal Revenue Office
areas we have already pointed out
OF highly favorable nature, as COM
pared with those for the same time in
1873. In short, the general tone of the
talk is hopeful and assured, and the
confidence in revival of trade gains
rapidly in strength as the season adj

Trade Prospects.

The New York Tribune, in an edito.
rial article on the future prospects Of
trade, closes as follows
30 far as the progress Of events and
available statistical information enable
us to make a comparison with the state
OF trade which prevailed in this country
1or two or three years after the panics Of
1901 and 1857, and in England after 1897.
1o41, 1897 and 1866, the result is re-
markablyfavorable to the present period,

rottenness has been developed in Great
brltaln, our great customer and creditor.
The same remark may also be made of
The state OF affairs here On the whole
our banking system has been more Dr11-
IDENTIFY handled than it was in the wears
previous to 1887 and 1867. There have
been some great abuses, as some recent
failures show, and as indeed is appar-
ent from the official statistics. but
after all the banks bid fair to come out
OF their difficulties In better shape than
they did twenty and forty years ago.
Ihe above observations apply with still
greater force to banking in Great
Britain. While, therefore, we do not
shut our eyes to the features which are
common to the present depression and
those which have preceded it oneach side
OF the Atlantic, and would earnestly
recommend the history and philosophy
OF such depressions to the careful study
OF our merchants, manufacturers and
bankers, we think the country will
escape from the consequences Of 1873.

ancestors did in atoning for their ex-

Beecher, sister of Henry Ward, headed "An
Appeal to the Public The most important
portion Of her paper is an admission that
Bowen originated the great scandal
AT meeting Of the Executive Committee
OF the National Board of Underwriters in
New York, few days ago. a resolution was
adopted recommending that all companies be-
longing to the National Board discontinue the
business of fire insurance in Chicago. This
action is taken in consequence of the Boards

City Council in not complying with the de-
mands OF the former body made at meeting
in July last Chicagoans are Indifferent to
the action or the Board, as they can get along
wholly independent of what they regard as an
odious monopoly. The insurance men of
Chicago are particularly jubilant. They ex-
press the belief that this sudden and arbitrary
| action Of the Board will result in it's de-
struction.
Fuller and later accounts of the recent ex-
petition to the Black Hills moderate very
| sensibly the roseate descriptions of the co1n-
try furnished by Gen. Custer and Gen. For

instructed to observe the geological formation
of the country and report upon it's mineral

very small.
Thomas Fl. Montgomery, General Agent of
the National Board of Fire Underwriters, says
that the recent action of the Board recon-
mending the withdrawal of insurance business
from Chicago was absolutely necessary as a
protective measure, The authorities of Chi
cago had In some instances utterly ignored
the requirements Of the Board, and in others
| they had made spasmodic efforts at reform.
