A GUIDE TO HEALTH AND HAPPINEss.-The
command of the Grecian sage-'Know thyself,'
is no less applicable to us than to the inhab,
itants of ancient Athens The best of political
statutes and the purest code of ethics can never
render nation happy. Law, morals and health
are the essential elements of national prosperity
Indeed health is the real basis of all success either
individual or national; hence it is the duty OF
each person to earnestly study and comply with
the laws of his being, thereby insuring his own
happiness and, in a measure, that of posterity,
This study should form branch of home educa-
tion, hence it is necessary that we should have
books on physiology, anatomy and hygiene, de-
signed especially for the family. The PEOPLES
COMMON SENSE MEDICAL ADVISER" is a work OF
this character. The subjects considered-among
which we may mention Biology, Physiology,
Temperament, Marriage, Reproduction, Hygiene
and Medcine-are treated in an easy but COM
preheasive manner, and the language is shorn of
all technieaities and reduced to plain common
sense In the Authors own words he seeks "to
nculcate the facts of science rather than the the
ories of physiology" and, while his work will be
an invaluable guide to the worlds artisans, it
cannot fail to be of equal interest to the scholar
in its original and practical discussions of Affinity,
Life and Mind. Theories aud facts are placed
side by side, each being submitted to the indi-
vidual reason of the reader. The subject of
Temperament is rendered peculiarly interesting
by new and practical ideas, the bearing of which
is specially shown in the Transmission of Life. I"
Part II on Hygiene is pithy, instructive and sug-
gestive, and well adapted to the wants ofparents
and educators. In Part III we find brief dis
sertion on the progress of medicine, and also a
history of the various Schools" or sects, and
their pecularites. Remedies for disease are
classified according to their effects and their prep
aration described. Part " is exclusively devo-
ted to diseases-their causes, symptoms and
treatment. In brief, this volume is practical
and cOmmon-sense guide in everything which
pertains to the well being of the physical man.
The Author, r. V. PIERCE, NJ. D., Buffalo, n. u,
is well known as a gentleman of high profession
al attainments and an extensive experience in
the practice Of medicine and surgery. This work
is devoted to the best interests of humanity,
contains valuable information and medical ad-
vice, and although written amid the cares of a
busy professional life, cvinces deep thought.
originality, careful investigation and an earnest
desire to impart Truth. copy of his work will
be sent to any address postage prepaid) on re-
ceipt of sl.50. Address the author who is also
the publisher.

Cow Chowder.

The wreckiDg of the engine and mail train on
the Kansas City, st. Joseph and Council Bluffs
road, near Forest City, on Monday evening, re-
suited in no accident to person or limb. A pes
ky bovine stirred up the muss, and now lies in
her grave beside the swamp in that vicinity. 1t
is stated, general principles, that this partic-
ular COW was damned by Mrs. O'Leary's COW at
first, and latterly by the Kansas City, st. Joseph
and Council Bluffs officials. She knew no fear.
All light ballasted freight trains slackened speed
when approaching the latitude she roamed over,
and all lightning expresses transferred passen-
gers. The COW fed on any truck thrown to her.
The news-bOy, who was a skeTy sort of fellow,
always threw ont TO her what of rotten apples
he had left at Forest City. Every regular pas
senger knew that animal well as his own. In
ditching train of forty cars loaded with lumber,
some time last Fall, all but two rear cars, load
ed with pig iron, left the track. The last car
stuck, and the dissatisfied COW i'll her anger buck
distance, or overestimating her anger, caught
the wheel in position trying as to break off
a horn. She at once sat down just outside the
track and tapped her tail over the rail as sort
of challenge to the engineer. The engineer did
his level best to stop this train, and the COW, in
laughing at the throttle-valve man, forgot to re-
move her appendage, and that made two dsfg-
urements by which all general passengers reeOg-
nized her. Her last triumph and heroic death
we have above recorded. She was thirty -four
years old the day of her death, counting three
for every ring upOn her horns. She never had
but one offspring, and the owner shot that as
soon as he discovered it, and the brute, in its
dying agOnies, managed to knock the poor man
down and break his best leg.-COURcl Bluffs Non

our "Heathen Chinee.,

We this week print our paper on our new pow
or press, the Heather Chinee,D manufactured
Inv the Cincinnati Type Foundry Company,
known of old as Wells Foundry The machine
;s n beauty, and works to a charm-as witness
the appearance of our paper this week. The
public are invited TO "eome and see u.s." on
printing days, when We shall take pleasure in
showing them how the sold thing works." Sub
scribers are invited to come and see how their pa
pers are made; and those not subscribers are in
vited to come and see, and perhaps they may
take notion to become subscribers.
Apower press costs heap of money. Perhaps
those of our subscribers whom we have so often
and earnestly asked in vain for the little amounts
due us, will wonder how we made q raise to buy
the press 1t is dead sure that they have not as
sisted us in doing it, and perhaps the easiest con-
clusion they can come to is, that We stole the
money. But the fact is, we had to have it, and
have had to depend upon means outside of oul
business to help through. All accounts due u
will come handy, just now; and all new favor
will be thankfully received. We intend to max
the Chief as good paper as we know how, ant
spare no pains to make it indispensable to ever,
citizen of the County, as well as to many outsid
of it.
1t required some heavy lifting to get the ma
chine to its place, which was accomplished wit
the assistance of the muscle and head-wOrk of

of the st. Joseph Steam Printing Company, Sc

BLUFF OLD BEN.-The last time / passed
through the great corridor leading to the Senate
chamber, saw, leaning against a pillar in
most striking attitude, ex-senator Benjamin f.
Wade, of Ohio, "the noblest Roman of them all"
Erect, rigid, frm-faced and keen-eyed, splendid
in intellect and unimpeachable in integrity, he
must always excite admiration and command
respect. He is much in the Senate these days /;
still the war-horse snuffng the battle from afar.
He was in Congress in the old stormy days, be-
tween 1851 and 1869, participated in those sharp
and bitter debates, and it is quite natural that
he should feel an interest in the new warfare
that is waged against human rights. 1t is often
suggested, in Washington circles, that Senator
Wade should be the next Republican candidate
for Governor of Ohio. He would be grand man
to rnn against State Rights William Allen. In
a recent conversation, Mr.. Foster, of Ohio, said
that he was the first man to suggest that candi-
dacy of Senator Wade.-Washiagtoa Cor. Toledo

ANOTHER PYGMY SENATOR.-Still another great
unknown goes to Washington in the capacity of
United States Senator to represent the yieto-
riOus Democracy whose tidal wave was to sweep
Jones, and he halls from the peterborough of
Florida. This new light of Democracy belongs
to the pygmy race of Cockrell, Mcdonald, Came
ron and Coffee-pot Wallace. The highest posi-
tion hitherto held by Jones is that of member of
Assembly, and he only reached that exalted dig
nifty at the late election. As an Assemblyman
he found that he could lay wires for the capture
of the greater prize, and he used his new expe-
rience, and presumably his purse ALSO with such
effect as to distance his competitors after pro-
Statesman! The country has been langnishing
for refOrmers, and in his advent sees the fulfill
ment of Democratic promises of n tornado or re-
fOrm.-NeIU York Commercial Adrertiser.

Very destitute, individuals in search si
Aid,

The destitution of some of the Kansas sntfer-
should excite the envy of paupers in less favor
ed clmes. The Kirwin Chief has been looking
into the assets of some who have taken the oath
prescribed by the Government rules regulating
the distribution of Government aid, in its issue
of the 22d the Chief publishes the following tales
of woe:
BY inspection of the Roll of Application now
on file IN Phillipsburg we find the name of John
Ward, citizen of Solomon Township, who has
taken the oath that he is destitute, and has the
following remarks opposite his name: "Has IL
head of horses; 90 head of cattle; 800 acres of
decided land in Phillips County, farm of 16O
acres in Nebraska; and said (by parties who
know to have s, 500 deposited in the First Ma
tiOnal Bank of Omaha.
Upon the same record we find tho name of
Thomas Cox, Sen, formerly one of the Board of
County Commissioners of this County. Has 4
head of horses, cows, besides other cattle; 4sO
acres of decided land within five miles of Kirwin
and generally considered one of the wealthiest
men in the County.
We have the names of other men, men who are
drawing pensions, holding County offices, etc.,
which will be given to the public as soon as we
can ascertain the amount of property owned by
them. Then there is another class of men a.
young, SINGLE able-bodied, with no one to care
for but themselves, who have fallen so far below
manhoOd's genuine estate, who, lost to every
principle of independence and honesty, have ia
ken the oath without a blush, and are to-day liv-
ing on the bread of charity.

The INCREASE OF PosTAGE-When Senator
Hamlin kindly undertook to augment the profits
of the express companies 5y smuggling an amend
ment into bill during the hurry of the last days
of Congress, by which, without previous notice
to the public, the rates of postage on a large
class of mail matter were enormously increased,
he probably failed to foresee what a storm of in
dignatiOn il would arouse. 1t is curious fact
that the average American citizen will look upon
dangerous legislation calculated to infringe upon
the rights of States in which he has no particu-
lar interest, or upon the passage of huge jobs by
Congress for the depletion of the treasury, with
apparent equanimity, and yet become immedi-
ateiy indignant, not to say ferocious, when bill
is passed which directly affects his own pockets,
even though the amount of the imposition i'll the
latter case may be comparatively trifing. If he
is suddenly, and without reasonable show of
cause, compelled to pay eight cents for the pos
tage of magazine, which he has been in the hab-
it of sending to his mother-in-law every month,
after reading it himself when he has heretofore
paid only four cents for the same publication,
the parting with the extra four cents will wrench
his heartstrings worse than the discovery that
some ring thief in Washington has pocketed
SI0000 which comes out of general taxation.
And this unnecessary and totally uncalled for
measure of Senator Hamlin, which doubles the
rate of postage on a large class of matter, from
present appearances promises to excite more i'll
ceiling against Congress than many far more Sc
riOus errors made by the same body. Besides,
its effects will be very disadvantageous to large
class of business men, such as booksellers, who
do a heavy trade in supplying orders by mall
and it will be difficult to find any one, except
those who own stock in express companies, who
will denOunce the change in rates as a vaxatiOus
job, carried through Congress from improper mo-
tives.

Concerning The THIRD TERM-The Chicago

CONCERNING THE THIRD TERM.-The Chicago
Tribune exchanges with nearly every Republican
paper in the United States of any note, and, with
the exception of a small organ of cheap office
holders and beggars around Washington, there
is not one Republican paper which favors a third
term. Even those papers which are edited and
controlled by POstmasters, dare not offend the
universal sentiment among Republicans by ad-
vOcating, even indirectly third term.
Under the circumstances of the origin of the
story, its use by the Democrats to prejudice the
country against the President and the Republ-
can party, the signal failure of all those who
have attempted a third-term party, is it not time
that the whole nOnsensical business was buried,
and the Republican party relieved of all thought
of any further discussion on the question: As
well attempt to repel an accusation of purpose
to establish a monarchy, as to deny the shadowy
imputation of fayoring 4 third term; the one pro-
position has about as much foundation in truth
as the OtheT.-C Chicago Tribune

ANOTHER CHRISTIAN WOMAN GONE To HER RE-
wARD.-lt is with profound regret that We chrOn-
icle the death of Mrs Rebecca Townsend, the
mother of John Townsend, Esq, of this city.
The intelligence will be received with feelings
of sorrow and pain by the many who were per-
sonally acquainted with this truly excellent wo-
man. She had been lying i'll for some time at
the old family homestead near Jimtown, Andrew
County, but all along hopes were indulged that
she would survive and there was every reason
to believe she would, until day before yesterday
morning she died. At the time of her decease
Mrs. Townsend was sixty-four years ofage. She
leaves six children to mourn the loss of as good
and afectionate mother as the world ever saw: !:
Thomas Townsend, of Andrew County; John and
Edward Townsend, of this city; Moses and
George Townsend, of Troy Kansas, and William
Townsend, now in California.
Mrs. Townsend has for many years been an ac-
tive member of the Methodist church. She was
good Christian woman. noted for her charitable
deeds and noble, womanly life. Her decease Is
loss, indeed, and Will be almost universally de-
plored.-St. Joe. Gazette LIST.
