Good Living and the Brain.

From DR.. Ho'broot's oliver compl2int."l
Good living is said to cause dyspepsia;
but the most healthy people ] have ever
known have been among those who live
well--who ate freely several times day
Of the most nutritious food. By some it
is said that tobacco, snuff, tea, coffee,
butter and even bread cause this COM
plant; but whoever will make inquiries
on this subject throughout the commnn-
ity will find that it is seldom true. In
fact. dyspepsia prevails, according to my
experience, altogether the most among
they eat and drink and the labor they put
upon the stomach, but exceedingly care
less how much labor they put on that
more delicate organ, the brain. Such
people oftenest eat nothing but BY the
advice of the doctor, or some treatise on
dyspepsia, or by weight; nor drink any
thing that is not certainly harmless;
they chew every mouthfui until they are
confident, on mature reflection, that it
cannot hurt the stomach. Why, then,
are they dyspeptics? Because, with all
their carefulness, they pay no attention
to the excitement of the brain. They
continue to write two or three sermons or
essays every week, besides reading a
volume or two, with magazines, reviews,
newspapers, ETC., and attending to much
other business calculated to excite the
mind. To me tits not strange that such
persons have nervous and .'stomachic af
fections- The constant excitement o.
the brain sends an excess of blood te
the head, and therefore other organs ars
weakened, and morbid sensibility il
produced, which renders the stomach
liable to arrangement from very sligh

Professor Evans, of Hamilton College,
tells story concerning an interview
which his grand uncle Joseph Ellicott,
an Indian agent, once had with the Indi-
an chief Red Jacket. Ellicott and the
Indian sat.down on a log which happen
ed to be convenient for the purpose, both
being near the middle. Presently Red
Jacket said, in his almost unintellisible
English: "Move along, Jo." Ellicott
did so, and the sachem moved up to him
In few minutes came another request:
"Move along, Jo," and again the agent
complied and the chief followed. Scarce
ly had this been done when Red Jacket
said again: "Move along, Jo" Much
annoyed, but willing to humnr him, and
not seeing what he meant, Ellicon COM
piled, this time reaching the end of the
log. But that was not sufficient, and
presently the request was repeated for
the fourth time: "Move along, Jo,'
"Why, man." angrily replied Ellic",,
'I can't move any further without get.

THE SIUMBLING-BLOCK.

In common with the public we await with
much interest the final action of the General
Assembly on the superintendent Of represen-
tation in the Senate and House. as required
by the Constitution of the State. That Con-
stitution has never had the appreciation Of
the people. The census which it demands in
1875 was ordered by body which was with
out legislative capacity, and it was made
under the direction of one who wrongfully
assumes executive authority. AS census it
is SO full Of errors. irregularities and omis-
sions, as to appear to the most Of us to be
fraudulent in intent Nevertheless it is
enough of census to operate as stumbling
block to the General Assembly, and to hinder
all completed legislation until an apportion-
ment based on it shall be made.
As reforms are possible when tbs obstacle
shall be surmounted we should be glad to
see an superintendent Effected, provided al
ways that it can be made without sanctioning
as correct or accepting as valid census
fraught with errors ana ta-ntsd vita fraud.
Any triding advantage one way or another
won by either party in the subdivision of the
State into senatorial and representative dis
tricts need not be seriously considered, for
such might happen under genuine census );
but there is one thing which our legislators
can not do even with the example Of Cover
nor Kellogg before them they can not pro-
claim his census to be correct by their words
or bv their actions ANYTHING ia better than
compromising fraud.
If by means strictly justifsble the great
obstacle can be removed there will be no I'M
generous criticism as to details In the appor-
tionment which may be made. But there is q
wide difference between concessions as to
minutiB and compromises as to trcth and
Justice.

property is occupied and Ill her inhabi-
tants who desire employment, fnd it.
The work done at public expense increases
the value Of property and the outlay comes
back to the treasury in the form of taxes
on an increased valuation.
Louisville can better afford to collect and
expend an annual revenue Of four millions
than New Orleans can one of three millions,
yet we see her unpaid Counoilmen and Alder
men economizing in all the details Of city
expenses. Here are facts worthy of the
serious consideration of our city authorities,
and of the people whom they represent Ex-
elusive of police, schools, and the fire depart
ment Of New Orleans, the budget Of the cur
rent year provides for salaries amounting to
more than 5000, 600. Of which single item,
the salaries of Mayor and Administrators. is

| $4,000 and his clerk $1,000. The city attorney
gets $500, the assessor $4,000, each of four
assistant assessors $1,000 and each of two
clerks $780, making the total outlay in sala-
ries for assessments $4,000. The salary Of the
city auditor is $500, treasurer $500, book
keeper $500, clerks of the City Council $1,000
each. There are sundry others employed in
and about the City Hall at salaries ranging
from s45Ojto 5000 each.
The Fire Department consists of one chief
engineer, at q salary of $1,000; two assist
ants, s1OSO each; ten company engineers,
ten captains, ten pipemen, ten drivers, ten
reel drivers, ten fremen, two hook and ladder
drivers, two steersmen, and about eighteen
other employees.
The salary Of the Chief of Police is s24OO;
four ieutenants, $l0S0 each; janitor, $500;

The largest salary next to Mayor is that of
the Chief Civil Engineer, which is $500.
Four assistant engineers, supervisor Of
street repairs, a clerk, four rodmen, Q

Louisville has population of about l25, 600,
or about three fi!ths OF that which the censu
gives to New Orleans The assessment Of
taxable property amounts to 1856, Sl2,
representing property worth at least one-third
more. The tax Of last year for city purposes
was sl,5O9, 900, and all was paid except $780,
600. The total bonded debt of the city was

The difference is not remarkable when con-
sidered with reference to the relative size of
the two cities, especially as the debt Of New

A WOMhN'S VENOM.

Somehow anger, malignancy and venom
always excite more disgust when exhibited by
woman than waen evinced by man. There
is something peculiarly repulsive in venom
GUS woman. She is even worse than drunken
woman, because, in the case of the latter,
there is always hope of reform, whereas the
former is as hopelessly incurable as though
she were bitten by rattlesnake or dog with
the rabies.
We can afford to smile at the malignant as
saults upon the South and Southern people
made by the lurid and vengeful Morton or the
hyena-lik Blaine, for we feel that these men
are simply heartless demagogues, striving for
position, and willing to sell themselves, if
need be, to attain their diabolical purposes
men who, like Lucifer, would rather rule in
hell than serve in heaven. For these
masculine demons we can feel scornful
indignation; but what shall be said
of woman vho so far forgets
the divine attributes OF her sex as to Danish
mercy and truth from her heart, and indulge
in coarse and venomoas abu:e of Southern
gentleman simply because he is q Southern
gentleman. This woman, whose type of true
manhood seems to be the dark-visaged, bloody
minded Morton, is the Washington CORES
pondent Of the Cleveland Herald, and in
letter, under date Of January 14th, on the
amnesty debate in the House, she thus refers
to that gallant gentleman, Mr.. Hill, Of Georgia.
On Tuesday they brought forward their
boosted Hill, of Georgia, with many iniunc-
lions to him to be tenn perate IN word and tone.
Mr.. Hill, ex-Confederate Senator, with
record blacker than midnight, is tall, long
limbed, loose-jonted man. with face mild
enough for Quaker. Hs sits we'll up in

and sickly smile with which he gazed at Mr.
Blaine while undergoing condign punishment
Yesterday by the quoting of his own assertion
made in 1868, that he would rather be con-
vict in the Georgia penitentiary than be
restored to citizenship. The smile deepeLed
into one Of actual enjoyment when he admit
tad the use Of bloodhounds by the Confed-
crate prison keepers for retaining escaped

under his tongue. Ah, it is true, what one OF
our Union generals long in service. and whose
name is honored Dy you all, said 70 Iae Tues
day, when Mr. Hill had done: 1.-THE South

And this is the Centennial year. the year
in which the past is to be forgiven and for

consequences buried forever, and the people
of both sections to shake hands in amity and
brotherly love at Philadelphia. Let Us hope
