THE CONGRESSIONAL CON-
TEST.

At Mound City yesterday, Mr.. Glenn
ents was nominated, withoutopposition,
as the candidate for congress Of the
Republicans Of this congressional dis
trict. ,
The campaign may now be said to
be fairly opened. The opposition Of
the Eighteenth district--the oppoSers
Of the imitation and soft money theo-
ries Of the Republican leaders of llli-
nois /; the opposers of forward pay to
members Of congress for services un-
performed; the opposers Of Radical
ism and OF perpetuation of all the
evils of the government comprised
in that word-the corrupting influences
of the Credit Mobilier, and the Sanborn
contracts the Louisiana muddle and
Arkansas troubles the moral and polit-
ical corruption exhibited in South Caro-
lima; the later evidences Of the results OF
radical teachings as manifested in the
present deplcrabiy unhappy. condition
Of affairs between the whites and blacks
in the States of Mississippi and Tennes,
see-the opposers Of all these evils now
have the opportunity and should en-
brace it,of saying to the radical party in
the Eighteenth congressional district Of
Illinois "thus far shalt thou 60, but nc
farther"
Asa representative of the party il
power aud responsible for these things
though himself perhaps very small
drop in the overfowing buckle
of radical corruption, Mr.. Glenn
ents should be defeated W,
believe the power to do so is in The
hands of the opposition in the Eigh

success is to nominate man, person

superior, and one whose name alone i

BROOKLYN, July "A, 1874.
Ny DEAR Mr.. BoNSER-Why
should one be disturbed on such u
great and glorious day as the Lord is
now rolling across the world Your
messenger came for the weekly article.
One feels as if he were a mill and must
grind regularly. Surely no better bag
vas ever hung to catch the grist being
ground than the Ledger. But why
should even the Ledger be served on
such day as this?
The heavens are deeper than the
thoughts can reach. Round and round
the horizon the sun pours effulgence
which does not burn, but pierces with
a new life and makes the clod vital. |
rejoice on these great days that seem
illlmitable and unfathomable, full Of
cool heat and blue brightness. When
clouds dare not come forth, and the
pavilion above is without spot, or rift,
or film, and no shadow falls down on
the mountain-Cet me zee, what do |
rejoice in-oh, | remember } II re
joice in the infnitesimal life that |
see.
The population Of the globe is not
counted by the human family. Our
egotism speaks Of how many men live
on the globe, as if that were the only
thing worth thinking of. God is
pleased to think differently. When he
looks out of the heavenly window he
sees a great many men, doubtless a
great many more perhaps than he
wants to see: But over, beneath and
around him he beholds an immense
life, various, versatile, infinitely
equipped, and with one attribute in all
the pursuit Of happiness.

the old rotten logs, the hooks and

are outdone by the in6nitesimal crea-

some pursuing, some running away,
some eating, and some being eaten

with wonderful adaptation, not only
with physical condition, but inter

education.

do who gave him fourteen ounces Of butter
or sugar instead of a pound, or nine yarjs
Of calico when the bill charged ten.
An assistant in a shop who instead OF
caring Tor his masters interest rs il they
were his own, puts no heart into his work,
exercises no ingenuity, treats customers

A medical correspondent Of the Boston
Globe puts forward the theory that the present
method breadmaking is mainly instrumental
in communicating many diseases and produc-
ing many deleterious effects which do not
assume the form of positive disease. He
says:
That impurities of the blood are worked of
through the pores is a fact so well recognized
that specific disease are treated by this means,
and it is even proposed to eliminate from the
system the virus OF hydrophobia by aprocess
of sweating The pores of the hands are more
open than those of many other parts of the
body. The constant Precipitation OF the hand
in warm weather, even when uncXercised will
remind one of this fact. When the hand is
exercised, 1t perspires freely. The present
process of kneadlng bread is decidedly Oh
jectionable at any tme, but in constant now
it is an undoubted means of Introducing INTO
the most universal article of diet the impur'
tiles and, too frequently, the seeds OF positive
disease from the body OF the person making
the bread. How many persons can eat bread
without so much as knowing who makes II
or whether the maker is infected with dis
ease or not? 1t is not pleasant consdera-
ton, and all of those impurities OF which 1t
is designed to free the system, are constantly
exuding from the skin are and mixed with
the bread 1t is no security that the hand
is externally clean. The cleaner the skin the
freer the Precipitation. What il l-eifects result
and what diseases are communicated in this
way can be learned only by experiment and
close observation Letus hope it will be well
considered, and that some Improvement may
be devised upon this long established but Oh
jectiouuble method of preparing the common
est article Of food.
