We have known persons, habitual
sufferers from sleeplessness at night,
to experience material benefit, even
though they were not hungry, by
light luncheon before bedtime. In
place of tossing about two or three
hours as formerly, they would soon
grow drowsy, fall asleep and not
awake more than once or twice till
sunrise. This mode of treating in
somnia has recently been recon-
mended by several distinguished
physicians, and the prescription has
generally been attended with happy
results Scri6ner for March.

SLEEPLEssNEss.-To take hearty

course, injurious, because it is very
likely to disturb ones rest, and pro-

dinner; the consequences of either
being disturbing and harmful. A

EXCITEMENT AND SHORT LIFE
The deadliest foe to mans lOngev-
ity is an unnatural excitement.
Every man is born with a certain
vitality, which cannot be increased,
but which may be expended or hus-
banded rapidly, as lie deems best,
within certain limits he has no
choice, to move fast or slow, to live
abstemiously or intensly, to draw
his little amount of life over large
spree or condense it into a narrow
one; but when his stock is expended
he has no more. He who lives alb
stemiously, he who abstains from
all stimulants, takes light exercise,
never Overtasks himself, indulging
IN no exhausting passions, feeds his
mind and heart on no exciting ma
terial, has no dabilitating pleasures,
lets nothing ruffie his temper, keeps
his accounts with God and man du-
ly squared up, is sure, barring aeci-
eldents, to spin out his life to the
longest limit which it is possible to
attain; while he who intensely feeds
on highly seasoned food, whether
material or mental, fatigues his body
or brain by hard labor, exposes him
self to infammatory disease, seeks
continual excitement; gives loose
sway to his passions, frets at every
trouble, and enjoys little repose, is
burning the candle at both ends, and
is sure to shorten his days.-SeLected

A Natural ArtesIan Prairie Well.

Three miles southwest of New
Canton, in this county. can be seen
one of the most wonderful sights
ever witnessed. On the land of Shaw
& Rupert, known as the north
west quarter of Sec. 90, of Town
ship south, west, is found what
has been known for years as the
salt spring. This spring rises out of
level prairie, and few weeks
since the locality gave no indications
that you were approaching one of
the greatest wonders of this coun-
try. The spot has long been the re-
sort of wild game and domestic an
imals, who came to drink It's saline
waters, which never go dry or freeze
winter or summer. A few weeks
ago the proprietors, who had long
conceived that there was some un-
developed secret connected with the
spring, sunk an iron pipe some 40 TT.
down the mouth of it, and immedi-
ately it began to throw out from the
upper edge of the pipe water to the
height of % feet. 1t has remained
for a few days, attracting large
numbers of visitors, who came to see
and wonder. Some days after six
more pipes, of the diameter of II
inches were driven into the spring
the longest pipe about 55 ft.-and
such cascade of water was never
seen before on a level prairie. Some
of the pipes have covers perforated
with small holes, and the jets of
water thrown from these form, in
the sunshine, beautiful rainbows..
For ten feet or more in every direc-
ton, and Is to 20 feet high, the
white spray rises, glitters, and show
ers around, forming pool 80 feet
in diameter, clear, limpid, and COOL
In clear day the column of water
can be seen for miles, and on
cloudy, drizzling day over miles.

The weather on MT. Washington.

The w WeaIner on MI. Wash1O2LOn.
To those who have suffered from
the extraordinary cold of the present
winter, some account of the expe-
rience of the United States signal
observers on Mt. Washington will
prove Of interest. The mean tenn
perature for the month of January
was two degrees below zero, nearly
fourteen degrees below the mean for
January, 1874. The mean of the
highest and lowest temperature last
month was eight and half degrees
below zero. The velocity of the
wind is an important factor, which
must also be taken into account in
considering the character of the
weather On Mt. Washington. The
greatest velocity noted was ia
miles per hour, but wind storm of
the 14th and 18th, reached a far
greater velocity, but the anemome-
ter was broken, so that no record
could be made of it. This month, up
to the 18th inst, the mean tempera-
ture has been above zero only three
days. The mean temperature for
this time was nearly nine degrees
below zero. The wind has been dri-
wing at heavy storm or hurricane
velocity all the time, except for three
or four days, and clouds have cover
ed the summit nearly the whole
time. Assistant Observer Fred De
Kosher ascended the mountain on
the 18th inst, and when he reached
the summit the wind was blowing at
the rate of 70 miles an hour, and
the thermometer marked % Degrees
below zero.

NEW ORLEANS PRESS OPINIONS OF
GOVERNOR KELLoGG's CALL FOR AN
EXTRA SESSION OF THE LEGIsLATURE.
New ORLEANS, March 25.-Com.
menting on the call for an extra session
OF the Legislature, the Times saws:
I'VE regard an extra session of the
Legislature as simply afTording an op
portunity to do now what has been
neglected in the past. Everything de-
pends upon concert of action and de-
termination on the part of those hay-
ing the material interests of the State
at heart to see the adjustment carried
out in good faith by both parties to the
agreement, and that nothing shall pre-.
vent the reformation to gain which
this arrangement is made"
The Pcdyune says: 1.-THE subjects of
legislature selected for precedence in
he order of business are certainly of
importance, and if appropriate action
shall be taken on them much good NAV
be accomplished. The several sessions
must not be made the agency or pre-
text for the revival of partisan schemes
or for the perpetuation of party con.
fiicts. 1t should be devoted solely to
the task of adjusting political difrcren,
ces, and enacting the necessary meas.

The New York World well remarks
There is no need for anybody to lament
the close OF the extra session of the Sem
ate. That session was held to confirm
the appointments of number of people
whom the public service could have got
along without, and for the consideration
OF the Hawaiian treaty-a piece of non-
sense, as We have several times taken
the trouble to show, since we got moth
ing in trade to compensate at all for
what we give up in revenue, and simply
discriminate in favor Of the products Of
the Hawaiian islands against the Ike
products of all other countries. This is
all the public business that the Senate
IN extra session made pretcnce of do
ing, for nobody will maintain that n SUI
perHuous and illogical puff of the Presi-
dent or the postponement of Pinchback
I'LL a more convenient season could be
SO characterized. In fact the postpone
ment of Pinchback's case was in itself a
virtual denial of the claim of the Presi
dent to be lauded for his behavior in
Louisiana. If the government which
MIR. Grant has maintained in Louisiana
is the rightful government of that State,
1t is outrageous to refuse Pinchback, the
accredited representative of that gov
ernment, seat in the Senate. If il is
not then 1T Is outrageous to approve the
action of Mr.. Grant in setting it up and
maintaining il.
