EB Sleep obtained two hours before mid
night, when the negative forces are in
operation, is the rest which most recuper-
ates the system, giving brightness to the
eye and glow to the cheek. The differ
ence between the appearance of person
who habitually retires at ten o'clock, and
that of one who sits up until twelve is
quite remarkable. The tone of the sys-
TEN, so evident in the complexion, the
clearness and the sparkle of the eye. and
the softness of the lines of the features
are, in person of health, kept at "con-
cert pitch :" by taking regular rest of two
hours before twelve O'Clock, aud thereby
obtaining the beauty sleep" of the night.
There is heaviness of the eye, a sallow-
ness of skin, aud absence of that glow in
the face which renders it fresh in express
sion and round in appearance, that readily
distinguishes the person who keeps late
hours.

bankers to direct the bonds to be sold
"What is the trouble?' was asked
"Why do you sell them ?'' The reply
came quickly: 81 don't like these Demo-

were sold With the proceeds a draft was

How Badly the Murderers of Poor Billings
were Used,

The Democratic papers of Alabama have
sent up a howl against United States
officials, for alleged ill-treatment of the
murderers of Billings while being conveyed
under arrest to Mobile for trial. They
were stared at, starved, and thrown into
vile dens in irons at the stopping places on
the route, &c.
The writer has talked with Mr.. Curtis,
of the Inter- Ocean, who was in the car
with them. He states that they were
simply handcutfed in pairs, rode in first
class car, had three meals on the route,
from the same tables at which he had a
seat, for one Of which meals he paid their
bills, while the United States Marshal paid
for them at the other two They had the
same food of which the Marshal and others
ate. They were provided with papers to
read, tobacco to chew and smoke, and one
of them who was i'll was given stimulants.
They were taken from the train to the Jail
in carriages, and were not exposed to the
view of any one who did not enter the car.
Arriving at Mobile late in the evening, the
jailor could provide no supper, and the
Marshal sent to a restaurant and got them
food, for which he paid from his own pri-
vate funds.
That was the i'll treatment to which
these murderers were subjected Now,
suppose this murder had been committed
by negroes, in self-defense, and that Bill
lings had been White League Democrat,
what would have been the result? Would
the black skins have been carried to the
city and granted a fair trial? Not at all;
they would have been taken from Jail by
masked mob of Leaguers at night, and
shot, or suspended to the branches of the
nearest tree, and their fate would be pro-
nounced just one, and in exact accord
ance with their deserts. Illustrations Of
this fact are painfully numerous, even
where colored people are arrested on mere
suspicion or pretense of their having COM
mitted Il criminal act.

JOURNALISTIC ENTERpRIsE.-The Lon
don Times has, at an expense of $50, 900 a
year and the telegraph tolls, and the cost
of its Paris office, secured the use of spe-
cial wire from Paris to London; and the
Paris correspondent of the Times being the
focus of all the other European correspond
ence of that paper, receives from every
capital on the continent by telegraph every
day, the latest news and collates, and tele-
graphs it to London. This being entirely
ahead of all competition in London, the
other journals will be compelled to follow.
The Telegraph, a daily newspaper, has
more than thrice the circulation of the
Times, and has ample capital for competi-
ton. But it is worthy of note that none
of the European journals dreamed of the
extensive use of the telegraph until the
American journals showed them the way.
The opening of the Vienna Exposition was
a case in which the American journals beat
them clear out of sight. The recent feat
of the Times seems like the sudden awak-
euing of a sleepy old fogy, for it's telegraph
news was, until lately, meagre and shallow
in comparison with that Of the American
journals.

THE CONDITION OF THE SoUTH-THE
PRESIDENTS NIEws.-A special Washing
ton dispatch to the New York Republic,
says:
The President since his return, has de-
voted considerable time to reading the COM
ments of the press upon the action of the
Government with regard to the revolution
in Louisiana and the outrages in several of
Southern States during the Summer. In
conversation, the President, referring to
the persistent denials of the opposition
press of the correctness of the official in
formation as to the condition of the South
in September last, stated that the informa-
ton in possession of the Government is SO
extensive and so we'll authenticated that no
fair minded man can examine it without
acknowledging the truthfulness of the re-
ports. And he further said that Congress,
if it wishes to know the facts, can be sup
piled with the evidence which will confirm
all official statements and justify all official
actions in this regard. AS to the condi-
ton of affairs in Louisiana, the President
maintained the position which he from the
first has consistently held. The failure Of
Congress, after repeated requests from the
Executive, to define, the legal status of the
contending governments, forced the Presi-
dent to the course which was finally
adopted.

The School Commissioners in Court
On Saturday last, quite an interesting, as
well as important case, was tried before
squire Brown, in which Caleb r. Wilkin-
son was plaintiff and the School Commits
sioners of Cecil county were defendants.
The plaintiff in this case, held certificate
of qualification duly issued by the County
Examiner, and was employed by the Dis
trict School Trustees of School No. 8, in
the Ninth Election District, as teacher.
After having taught for few days, he was
visited by one of the School Commissioners,
who inquired of him in regard to his age,
and who then discovered he (the plaintiff
was under the age required by Act of AS
sembly emitting teacher to hold certiti-
cate of qualification. At a subsequent
meeting of the School Board his certificate
was annuled. The plaintiff then made
out his report for the time he had been
teaching in proper form and signed by the
District School Trustees, recommending
him to be paid. This the Commissioners
refused to do upon two grounds; one on
account of irregularity in the report, and
the other on account of his age, he being
under the required age when the certificate
was granted. The plaintiff instituted suit
to recover payment for the time he had
been teaching. Judgment for plaintiff
