Don't Work Until After You Eat.

DR.. Hall is authority for the following
sensible thoughts upon breakfasting be,
fore much exercise in the open air par
ticularly in districts where fever and
ague are abundant:
Breakfast should be eaten in the morn.
ing before leaving the house for exercise,
or labor of any description those who
do il will be able to perform more work
and with greater alacTity than those who
work an hour or two before breakfast.
Besides this, the average duration of life
of those who take breakfast before eXer-
else or work, will be a number of years
greater than those who do otherwise.
| Most per ons begin to feel weak after
having been engaged five or six hours in
their ordinary avOcatiOns; good meal
reinvigorates, but from the last meal of
| the day until next morning there is an
! interval of some twelve hours hence tke
body, in a sense, is weak, and in proper
tiOn can not resist deleteriOus agencies,
whether of the fierce cold of midwint r
or of the poisonous miasm which rests
upon the surface of the earth wherever
| the sun shines on blade Of vegetation
or heap of offal.
This miasm is more solid, more con-
centrated, and hence more malignant,
about sunrise and sunset than at any
other hour of the twenty-four, because
the cold of the night condenses it, aud it
is on the first few inches above the soil
in its most solid form; but as the sun
rises it warns and expands and ascends
to point high enough to be breathed,
and being taken into the lungs with the
air and swallowed with the saliva into
the stomach, all weak and empty as it
is, it is greedily drank in, thrown i'm
mediately Tito the circulation of the
blood and carried directly TO every part
of the body depositing its poisonous in
fuences at the very fountain head of life.
If early breakfast was taken in regions
where chIlls and fever and fever and
ague prevail, and if, in addition, a brisk
fire were kindled in the family room for
nhour, including sunset and sunrise, these
troublesome maladies would diminish
in any one year, not tentold, but a thou
sand fold, because the heat of the fire
would rarity the miasmatic air instantly
and send it above the breathing point.
But it is troublesome to be building
fires night and morning all summer. 1t

A Woman at the Prize.Fight.


While the eighteenth and nineteenth
round was being fought, a ripple ran
through the crowd, caused by the appear
ance of a woman on the scene. She was a
tall angular woman ,an all-pervading voice
and a blue cotton umbrella, and as she
dismounted from the buggy in which she
rode and walked up toward the ring, the
boys made a respectful passage-way for her
benefit. " | came to see this ere fight, ="
said she, "and want tOspeak TO the men,"
Joe and Tom, who were just then execut-
ing a pas de deur in the attempt of one
to get in a blow on the other, stopped a
moment, marched across the ring and
spoke to their visitor, both of them shak-
ind hands with her. while Col. Eph. with
his well known gallantry for the sex,
welcomed Mrs. Gorman-for that was
her name-to the entertainment. She
took her place well up to the corner
where Gross belonged, and was a close
and interested spectator during the re-
mained of the fight ,commentingon every
thing that occurred, and clapping her
hands when anything took place to
awaken her admiration. At length.
when the fight was over and Goss declared
victor, she manifested her sympathies
with Allen by crawling between the
ropes into the ring and shaking hand
with him. Alter this part of her duty
had been performed, she gathered up the
meek looking masculine who had come
along with her, presumably her husband.
pushed him into the buggy and drove
off. Talk about the dawn of woman's
rightsl When she can go To a prize fight
and shake hands with the principals, and
cheer and clap hands like a b'hoy, her
day is not far off.
Revival OF Trade in New York.
New York Herald.
In all the down town streets where the
heavy wholesale houses are situated--on
Broadway, Church, Leonard, Worth and
White-the evidence has accumulated
for several weeks that there is a genuine
revival of business in the city at last
The importers, commission houses, i. b.
bers, mill representatives and auction
firms agree in this, and say that while
other revivals since 1878 have been
merely spasmodic, the brisk trade inau.
gurated this season has continued with
out abatement; that the stock of goods
throughout the country are very limited.
and that the manufacturers havs sold
out their surplus, and the few desirable
lots remaining are in the hands of specu-
lators, who are holding for higher prices
In view of these facts, the presence in
the city of swarms OF country merchants
from the southwest, north and northwest
is easily explained; they are attracted
not only by the chance of seeing the cen
tennial exposition and attending TO bus
mess, but also by the inducement of
cheap freights as well as cheap goods.
Therefore the gratifying sight if once
more presented to New Workers of boxes,
bales and bundles piled up on the --1.
walks, of numbering trucks aud busy
express wagons, and all the sigus OF an
active fall business and though cars are
detained and Pedestrianism rendered Gu-
ficult and dangerous. there are smiles
instead of growls as the dawn of better
days become apparent.

Husband and wifi Seeking Suicide that
they Might Meet Beyond the Grave.
Claude Aventine, surgeons assistant
in the navy, while insane committed
suicide at the Mountain House, South
| Orange, n. j., a week ago to-day. He
was under the hallucination that his wife,
! Pauline, aged twenty-three years, was
dead, and a letter directed to personal
friend explaining that he was killing
himself that he minght meet her "on the
other shore" The letter was filled with
words of the tenderest devotion 10 her.
and he requested that preserved rose
she adgiven him might be buried with
him. He insisted that her spirit was
calling and beckoning him from the other
side. He took poison internally and
hypOdermIcally, and was dead when
sought in his room.
Meantime Pauline was in Portland
Me-, worrying becau.e her Claude had re-
mained so long away from her. She was
q partial stranger there, and as Claude had
been away for some time, and she was
unknown to her landlady, that person
suddenly turned Pauline out of the house
for non-payment of board. The news of
her husbands death, reaching her at the
same time, she became insane, and on
Thursday took the ferryboat for Cape
Elizabeth, and sprang overheard, but was
rescued. wriDging her hands and moan
ing, ooh! my husband, my husband"
She was cared for. On her person was
a letter breathing great devotion to
Claude. 1t says she has gone to join
him on the heavenly shore, where there
will be no more trouble or pain. She de-
sires that her diamond ring may be
placed on her forefnger. the same finger
her dear Claude placed it on the day be-
fore they were married. and that she
may be dressed in her white morning
dress her dear husband liked so well and
have her hair combed as she always wore
it. She leaves her love for her babe and
begs Mrs. Lawrence to take care of him
and never Let him know this story

THE sale of tie Missouri Pacific rail-
road i'll St. Louis, the 9th instant, illus
trates the financial condition of railtoads
in the United States. The Missouri Pa
ciic was sold to Mr.. Andrew Pierce for
SO. 10000 The bonded debt of the
company is S15,0OO,OOO, and classified as
follows: First mortgage, 81, ,OOO, 900; sec
Ond mortgage, $2,7OO,OOO; real estate
bonds, $800,00O; CarondoIet branch,
100000; third mortgage, S4,OOO,OOO
The stockholders are extinguished, and
get nothing, and the proceeds of the sale
will not pay fifty cents on the dollar of
the first mortgage bonds. There are not
dozen railroad corporations in the
United States that will escape the same
mode of liquidation. The whole system
must be recognized, and it will be bet
ter for the business interest and the
general prosperity of the country.-Aua-

THE peach packing business is now at
its hight in Baltimore. 1t commences
about the 10th OF August, and closes
about the 1st of October. There are
fifty oyster and fruit packing establish
nlents in Baltimore, and hundreds OF
thousands of dollars are invested in the
business. In one peach establishment
six hundred girls and women are en-
PlOyed, in another five hundred, and so
on. In the city II, 900 bushels of peaches
are put up daily, using 100000 cans and
employing 5000 persons. The great
bulk of the canned fruit finds its mar
- ket in the west.
IKE new loan which the Spanish gov
ernment has secured to cover the ex-
penses OF the Cuban war-from 10000
900 to 25,OO0,0O0 pesetas-will amount
tc nearly /, 500, 600, for which Spain pays
ten per cent interest with two per cent
fOr expenses. The Cuban customs rev.
enues are the guaranty of the debt. This
amount, however, large as it is, is but
drop in the bucket. The Cuban war is
now in its'eighth year, and, since it first
broke out, the attempt to govern Cuba
has cost Spain s599, 900, 900, not includ-
ing the expenses incurred by the govern
ment of Cuba, and an actual loss by war
and disease of I3O. 900 men.

MORE GOVERNMENT OFFIcERs.-In the
O. s. Senate, on Monday a bill was
passed providing that animals shall not
be confined in any railroad car or vessel,
without food or water, for long er
period than twenty -four hours, and that
they shall have at least seven consecu-
tive hours for rest.
Mr.. Bayard, in addressing the Senate
against the bill SAID ct seemed to him
that there was too much intermeddling
by Congress with affairs which had bet
ter be left to the police powers of the
States. This bill would create a whole
brood of deputy marshals or United
States police officers, " no could without
regard to locality, enter vehicles for the
transportation of animals and exercise
a system Of espionage which would be
exceedingly annoying. lie thought this
legislation not wise because it was un-
necessary. He gave notice that he
would demand the yeas and nays on the
final passage Of the bill, that he might
put himself on the record against it,
This bill will probably meet with op-
position in the Hou 7e, which is now not
in a temper to saddle the country with
any more government officers.

Bad Everywhere.

1t seems that the r publican party
leaders have become corrupted every
where. 1t is not only in the South that
the leaders of this party have been
shown to be extravagant and dishonest
but according to Il ,ir own party papers
it Is 80 elsewhere; and the Republican
papers, or many Of them, have been al
least compelled by public opinion to de-
clare against the reelection of Republi-
cans.
This is go in our sister city of Phila
delphia where an election is in progress
to-day for municipal officers. The e1.
travagance, dishonesty and peculations
(for it amounts to that although they
cannot be reached by the law have been
exposed by the press of both parties
and the most influential Of the Republi-
can newspapers are as denunciatory OF
Republican nominees as are the Demo-
cratic papers. These corrupt Republi-
can leaders everywhere seem to think
the taxpayers were made to labor for
their especial benefit. As soon as poor
devil, like several in our State. got into
Office, he assumed to think himself Of
immense consequence and worthy OF a
higher salary than was ever given be-
fore; and if he did not get more money
legitimately commenced to help himself
in any way that his fruitful imagination
could suggest. 1t is fact, that the Re-
publican Party has not bestowed it's Off :
ces on the most worthy men but has gen.
orally placed in position fellows who were
utterly unable to keep themselves above
