Rules to be Observed in Eating

1. While spare or low diet is seldom
either necessary or harmless, the stom-
ach should never be filled to an extent
sufficient to cause any sensation of I'M
easy fullness.
2. That eating should always be suffi-
GENTLY slow to admit of thorough mas
tication of food.
3. That solid food should not be taken
with much fluid, it being better to drink
freely between meals.
A. That neither mind nor body should
be actively exercised very soon after a
full meal.
If these simple rules are attended to
and at the same time sufficient amount
of exercise is taken, pure air breathed
and proper habits of life adopted, al
most any kind of food may be assim-
Hated and the processes of nutrition
will go on in healthy manner.-JV Whit
takers Journal.

A Curious COmpac ct.

The Indianapolis Sentinel relates the
following incident: Young Anderson,
the lawyer, whose funeral occurred
Wednesday,, was cousin of Earnest
Morris, and between them there existed
the greatest friendship. There is a
compact entered into and signed by
them two or three years since, to COM
pare notes at the age of forty, and see
who had achieved most in the world of
science or letters-but alas for the I'M
certainty of all earthly things! So i'm
pressed with the spirit of rivalry was
young Anderson, that in his long
lingering sickness, when unconscious,
he would mutter to himself audibly,
Earnest will excel me, Earnest will
excel me!''

A DAY or two since, says the Bedford
(Mass.) Mercury, five dogs were shut
up in yard in that city by the gate
swinging together after they passed
through it. When they wished to go
out they were unable to open the gate,
as it swung inward. The animals had
an apparent consultation for a few
minutes, after which big Newfound-
land clambered over the fence. On
reaching the street he at once pushed
the gate open and released the pris-

EDMUND YATES always dictates his
novels, and has for an amanuensis an
exceedingly grave and unimaginative
man. On one occasion, when about to

THE towboat Dictator, of st. Louis,
while passing up through the bridge a,
Hannibal, Mo-. about 2 O'Clock on the
morning of the 18th, became unman-
ageable, on account of the swift current
and high wind, and struck against
the upper portion of one of the bridge
piers She then swung around
and careened against the bridge, taking
out an entire span, upon which, unfor-
tunately, the whole crew of the boat
had clambered for safety. The boat
and bridge span went down together,
precipitasing some 20 persons into the
water, about one-half of whom were
rescued. Among those drowned were the
clerk, Henry G. Young, and second en-
gineer, VIM Foster.

The Chicago Inter- Ocean of the goth
published crop reports from various
points in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan,
and Ohio, from which it is ascertained
that in Illinois winter wheat generally
promises well; peaches badly injured
and in many cases totally destroyed by
the cold weather; apples and small
fruits promise an abundant yield. In
Indiana and Ohio the wheat is in worse
condition, but fruits about the same
Michigan promises plentiful yield of
every thing.

$4,000 for a Picture.

The story, incredible enough on the
face of it, that Mr.. Millais is to have
S75,O 900 for single picture, l believe to
be quite true. The fact that it is for
picture not yet painted, does not make
it less remarkable. Mr.. Millais's con-
tract is with Mr.. Marsden, a picture
dealer of the highest order, who desires,
it is said, to be reckoned above Mr..
Agnew himself, who has long been
known as the leviathan among English
dealers. Mr.. Marsden proposed to Mr..
Millais to paint picture for him at the
price above named, and Mr.. Millais, not
unnaturally, accepted; for the sum is
probably larger than has been paid to
any living artist for single work, or
perhaps than any picture by an artist
not dead has been sold for at auction,
OF otherwise. Turner's Sc Grand Canal'
was thought to have touched high value
mark at s35, 900, last year at Christie's.
l will not ask, is Millais a greater paint
er than Turnerp-that would be to touch
on dangerous ground. He is, at any
rate, the most fashionable of living Eng
fish artists, and the cash value of fash
ion makes up certain part-every body
may determine for himself what part
of this extraordinary price. 1t is said,
know not whether truly, that Mr..
Marsden made but single condition,
viz, that the picture should not be ex-
hibited by Mr.. Millais. Subject, size,
and all the rest, seem, if this account
be correct, to have been left to the
painters discretion, and about twenty
per cent. of the purchase money was
paid down to bind the bargain. Mr..
Marsden, of course, intends to exhibit
the picture himself. The number of
people who will go to see it solely be-
cause of the amount paid for it is not
small. Then the copyright is doubtless
included, there will be an engraving
which will also be fashionable and sell
largely, and finally the picture itself
will remain to be sold. Altogether, it
may turn out good speculation. Hol-
man Hunts SHADOW of the Cross "
fetched $50, 900, and L never heard that
the enterprising buyer and exhibitor of
it repented of his bargain.-London

THE Indiana Democratic State Con-
vention was held at Indianapolis on the
18th. James ID. Williams, of Knox
County, was nominated for Governor,
and Isaac P. Gray, of Randolph Coun-
ty, for Lieut--Governor. The resolu-
tons declare ssagainst the contraction
of the volume of our paper cur
rency. and in favor of the adop-
ton of measures looking to the
gradual retirement of the circulation of
the National Banks, and the substitu-
ton therefor of circulating notes issued
by the authority of the Government; -
that IS the legal-tender notes constitute
a safe currency, and one especially val
liable to the debtor classes because of
its legaltender quality" and demand
ing therefore the repeal of the Resump-
ton act. Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks
is recommended as the Democratic can

A PROCESSION Of Home-rulers at Linn
erick, Ireland, on the 18th, was set upon
by several hundred Nationalists, armed
with stones, bludgeons and knives, and
a desperate fight ensued, in which over
100 persons were wounded, some fatal
ly. The Nationalists got worsted in the
encounter. The cause of the riot was
the discomfort of the Nationalists, who
form remnant of the Fenian party, at
what they declare to be the utter neglect
of the Home-rule question by so-called
Home-rule leaders during the present
session of Parliament.

The progress of the revolution in
Mexico, rs detailed in dispatches up to
the 22d, is briefly as follows: The
Revolutionists, under Gen. Naranjo,
occupied Mier on the 18th, without any
resistance. Quintana, with a small
force of Government troops, advanced
upon New Laredo on the 18th, but was
routed by the Revolutionists, who went
out to meet him, and forced across the
Rio Grande. Later advices state that he
was again in position before the town, and
asthe Revolutionists had goneto Mier to
join Naranjo, it is presumed the Gov
eminent troops are again in possession
of New Laredo. The merchants of this
unfortunate town, both natives and for
eigners, have been assessed heavily,
first by the Revolutionist and then by
the Government commander, but as the
United States officer in command at
Fort Mcintosh has been instructed to
protect American merchants against
such lawless assessments, no collections
have SO far been made. Gen. Diaz was
still at Matamoras, and Gen. Labarra
at Galveston, awaiting the approach of
the Government forces.

CURRENT TOPICS.

The recent publication in an Indian
apolis paper of a statement that some
S64, 900 of Union Pacific funds had been
traced to the possession of ex-Speaker
Blaine, has-caused quite a sensation in
political circles. Mr.. Blaine promptly
denied the story in whole and in part,
and produced letters from Treasurer
Rollins of the railroad, declaring that
no money had been paid by the COM
pany in which Mr.. Blaine was inter
ested.
