LIFE HEIGHTENED.

DR.. Hall in his excellent Journal of
Health gives the following sensible and
suggestive rules under the above head
ing:
1. Cultivate an equable temper; many
have fallen dead in fit Of passion.
2. Eat regularly, not over twice a
day, and eat nothing between meals.
8. Go to bed at regular hours. Get
up as soon as you wake of yourself, and
no not sleep in the day-time-at least,
not longer than ten minutes before
uoon. x<t stl r.
4. Work always by the day, and not
by the job. -.s.g
5. Stop working before you are very
much tired-before you are Tagged
out"
6. Cultivate generous and accom-
modating temper.
z. Never cross q bridge before you
get to it; this will save you half the
troubles Of life.
8. Never eat when you are not hun
CRY, nor drink when you are not thirsty.
9. Let your appetite always come un-
invited.
10. Cool off in place greatly warm
er than the one in which you have been
exercising. This simple rule would
prevent incalcuable sickness and save
millions of lives every year.
IL. Never resist a call of nature for O
single moment.
II. Never allow yourself to be chilled
through and through; it is this which
destroys SO many every year, in a few
days sickness, from pneumonia-called
by some lung fever-or Inflammation OF
the lungs.
10. Whoever drinks no liquids OF
meals will add years of pleasurable ex-
istence to his life. or cold or warm
drinks the former are the most PERM
cious. Drinking at meals induces per-
sons to eat more than they otherwise
would, as any one can verify by exper-
iment; and it is excess in eating which
devastates the land with sickness, suf-
fering and death.
IA. After fifty years of age, if not a
day laborer, and sedentary persons at
forty, should eat but twice day-in
the morning and about four in the af-
ternoon; for every organ without ade-
quate rest will give out" prematurely.
Is. Begin early to live IN der the be-
nign influence of the Christian religion,
for it "has the promise of the life that
now is and of that which is to come"

The BIvOUAC OF THE DEAD.
Decoration Day and Our Mexican War Dsa


While the gallant dead Of our late civil war
are going to have the yearly tribute paid to their
memory bS loyal and loving hands, decking their
graves with fcral tributes-a touching.and rev.
erentiaI homage Of q grateful country to its
heroic defenders-there are others Of our
country's braves whose achievements long years
ago were the theme of every household, whose re-
mains are mouldering in almost forgotten graves,
while the fruits of their dauntless courage and
endurance have largely contributed to our terri
torial and commercial greatness-I mean the
veterans Of the Mexican war. without referring
10 the thousands whose graves are scattered
throughout the United States and Mexico, we
have here right in our midst, in the different
eteres of the District, the remains of officers and
men. whose deeds of valor in the deadly breach
won unstinted praise from their country, and
their surviving cOmrades-who. alas, are not
many-shOuld even at this late day bestow upon
their ong-neglected graves the need Of a few
immortelles, while, as well-deserved act Of jus
tice, Congress should gladden. the declining years
Of the survivors by passing their pension bill
while happily there are any still living.
l subloin the numes of a number who are in

except in few cases to partcqlarize the different
cemeteries in which they are all inferred: Gems

are a number of others, but the writer deems IT
unnecessary to extend the list further. Some Of
the above served with distinguished gallantry in
our late civil war. Our local association of the
Associated Veterans Of the Mexican War should
have taken some action in the matter, so as to
have made the observance of Decoration day a
united affair, but l suppose hardly any number
thought of it, in truth II did not strike the writer
until 4 day or so ago, and It probably is now too
late for any united action.

The Late Col. ]. q. Ruckel.

Col. ]. S. Ruckel, of Oregon, who died in this
city On Tuesday morning, was in many respects q
remarkable man, possessing in a marked degree
those traits Of character that have made the men
of the Pacific coast famous-enterprise, energy
and liberality
Col. Ruekel settled in California at an early
day and embarked in mert altile pursuits, and,
by his thorough knowledge of business and great
abilities, soon obtained control of one Of the most
important branches Of trade of that section. Gen.
Sherman, in his Memoirs, i" among Others, refers
to the late Col. Ruekel as having been one Of the
earliest and most enterprising merchants Of San
Francisco. While q resident Of California de-
ceased was connected with many enterprises Of
great public benefit. and for several years was .
member Of the Legislature of that State.
! Subsequently Colonel Ruckel removed to Ore
gon, where he organized what is known as the
Oregon Steam Navigation Company, an organi-
ration representing many millions, and Of which
he was president for several years. He was q
member Of the Oregon Legislature, and at one
time was prominent candidate for the United
States Senate, falling to secure the caucus noui-
nation by one vote.
Deceased possessed many rare qualities of
heart and mind, and was beloved by all who
knew him, and his death will be mourned BY
thousands, who will ever remember him as a
generous, noble-hearted gentleman.

QUICK WORK.
A Bold Robbery and Prompt Arrest.


Detectives Miller and Coomes yesterday after
noon made prompt arrest, and secured stolen
property from two thieves who had it in their pos
session less two hours. A few minutes before o
o'clock, while the members Of the household were
in the lower portion of the residence of DR.. H. H.
Barker, at the corner Of Twelfth and II streets
northwest, the upper part was entered by two
bold and desperate robbers, who made hasty
work in collecting all the valuables to be found,
and then departed. They entered vacant house
two doors below, assembled to the second floor
and then crossed to the shed at the rear that
covered the bathrooms, to the back of DR.. Bar
Eers house, where an entrance gained
through an open window. Although having but
a short time in which to operate, they succeeded
in capturing, lady's gold hunting-case watch,
infants armlets, lady's cuff buttons, gold studs,
two spiral studs, estruscan gold, gold pencil,
gents cuff buttons, IS in money belonging to a
servant, lady's penknife, sliver-mountei pistol,
a certificate of five shares in the North American
other valuables.
In their hasty exit by the same route they en-
tered, person on Twelfth street discovered them
leaving the premises, but who gave the alarm too
late to effect their arrest at that time but sut-
GENTLY early to obtain good description Ofthem.
The case was Immediately reported at police
headquarters and taken in hand by Detectives
CoOmes and Miller. They proceeded in search of
parties whom they suspected, and at well-known
Restaurant on Pennsylvania avenue found these
individuals and took them into custody. On
reaching the Fifth precinct station q thorough
search was made, and on them was found the
ladies' watch, revolver, certificate of stock, and
other articles that had been stolen only a short
time previous. There was also found other goods
which were recognized as the property Of Mr.
Sidney Austin, whose residence, on Columbia
street, was entered and robbed few days ago
The the thieves gave their names as James f.
Thompson ard George Williams which are known
to be fictitious, and the correct will be sup
piled to-day. They will be photographed for
the benefit of the gallery, and then receive a
hearing before Judge Smell. The officers, by
their promptness and efficiency, deserve the sue
fhpV with in fyrn 1Iahp
characters.
Not long after the thieves had been locked up
in the Fifth precinct station the officer on duty
heard a noise In the prison, and on going to the
cell where Williams was confined found that he
had succeeded in removing portion of brick in
the solid wall near the iron door-jamb in his at
tempts to escape. Williams had concealed an
oyster knife in his boot, which escaped notice
when he was searched. The knife was taken
from him, he was removed to another cell and
securely handcutfed and made no more attempts
to escape.

CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Killed While Excavating a Banl

A cOlored man named Benjamin Van Barber
was killed about O'Clock yesterday afternoon, by
the falling Of bank, which he was excavating.
Van Barker and a fellow-workman were engaged
in digging under house on Twenty-ffth street,
between H and streets, belonging to a gentle
man named Love. The bank is quite high and it
was intended TO dig out q cellar and underpin the
structure: As 1t was impossible to begin to dig
from the top, the workmen began to excavate at
the bottom. When the bank fell in Van Barber
was at work under Il and was buried beneath it.
HIS fellOw-labOrer barely escaped the same fate.
A portion of the falling embankment struck him,
but in such a manner that he was not injured. AS
soon as he realized what had occurred, he set to
work to uncover Van Barber, and. with the assist
ance Of Omcer Morris and several citizens, Van
Barber's body was quickly brought out from
the debris. The body was crushed terribly. The
head was crushed out Of shape, and the skull bent
until it was broken, and the body and limbs were
broken. The remains were taken by Oficer
Morris to the Fourth precinct station. Coroner
Patterson last evening viewed the body at the
station and gave q certificate in accordance with
the circumstances of the death. Van Barber has
no family and no immediate relatives in the city,
