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
ana restful sleep.
The american 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. It says "To
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 at night, 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 ne," he wrote, "and 1 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 the 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 'lie-
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 little after
dinner. Chief-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.

Charming usually took an after-dinnei

Failures in Business.

Peter Cooper failed in making hats,
failed as cabinet. maker, locomotive
builder and grocer, but as often as he
failed he tried again, until he could
stand upon his feet alone; then crowned
his victory by giving 81, 900, 900 to help
poor boys in time TO come.
Horace Greeley tried three or four
lines of business before he founded the
Tribune, and made it worth 81 900, 900.
Patrick Henry failed at everything he
undertook until he made himself the
ornament of his age and nation.
The founder OF the New York Her.
aid kept on failing and sinking his mon
ely for ten years, and then made one of
the mostprofitable newspapers on earth.
Stephen A. Douglas made dinner
tables and bedsteads and bureaus many
long year before he made himself a
giant on the floor of Congress.
Abraham Lincoln failed to make both
ends meet 10y chopping wood failed to
earn his salt in the galley slave life of
mississippi hat-boatman he had not
even wit enough to run grocery, and
yet he made himself grand character
of the nineteenth century.
Gen. Grant failed at everything except
smoking cigar; he learned to tan hides,
but couldn't sell leather enough to pur-
chase a pair of brooches. A dozen years
ago he C. brought up" on top of wood
pile "teaming it" to town for $40 a

Tie Revival OF Trade.

The Toronto Globe, speaking in a re-
cent issue of the revival of trade III the
United States, remarks that the fact
that few days since $1,000, 900 worth
of New York Central railway bonds
proof of itself of a 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 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 adj
vance of wheat in the Liverpool
market. 1t is known that the
last years grain crop has been pretty
exhaustively depleted by the uninter-
mitted orders for export, and the do
mestic as well 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 apprehensions
felt of 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 a revival of trade gains
rapidly in strength as the season adj
vances. Chicago Inter- ocean.

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 by the Economist, shows con-
siderable fell in leading commodities
since last fall, and prices being now ia
vorable to consumers, we may fairly in
fer that the improved tone in the iron
trade, which is attracting attention IN
England, is prophetic of improvement
in other branches of business, here as
well as there. -NeW York Nation.

Trade Prospects.

The New York Tribune, in an edito-
rial article on the future prospects Of
trade, closes as follows:
SO far as the progress of events and
available statistical information enable
us to make comparison with the state
of trade which prevailed in this country
for two or three years after the panics OF
1897 and 1867, and in England after 1897,
1847, 1857 and 1866, the result is re-
markably favorable tothe present period.
To begin with, very little commercial
rottenness has been developed in Great
Britain, 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 pru-
IDENTIFY handled than it was in the years.
previous to 1887 and 1857. 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 ont
of their difficulties in better shape than
they did twenty and forty years ago.
The 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 on each 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,
having suffered less distress than our
ancestors did in atoning for their ex-
cesses. So far as panics are concerned,
there is nothing new under the sun.

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. 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
dissatisfaction with the action OF the Chicago
City Council in not complying with the do
msnds 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 jubilsnt. 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 coun-
try furnished by Gen. Custer and Gen. For
syth. Col. cd Grant, who accompanied the
expedition, and who, it appears, was specially
instructed to observe the geological formation
OF the country and report upon it's mineral
resources, gives it rs his opinion that the gold
g discovered >" by the expedition would bring
about SO at public sale, and he believes that
the ore was imported from some assay Office.
He speaks in disparaging term Of the vegeta-
BILE products of the Black Hills region, The
timber, he says, is for the most part spruce
and yellow pine, and the area Of tillable land
very small.
Thomas II. 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
The Fire Department was sadly lacking in dis
cipline, and was controlled by politicians.

There are at least 5000 people living
in eleven counties on the Western bor

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. 1t is in
the presence of such fact, and the near
approach of what may be 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, 600
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 foods.-On1dhG Herald.
