The POstOflice Bill.

TIE Postoffice Appropriation bill, as
it passed Congress, fixes the rate on
thirdclass matter at l cent for every
two ounces or fractional part thereof, and
/ cent for each additional two ounces.
1t does not affect the postage on news
papers within the counties OF their pub
LEGATION, and they will still circulate
free. The sum of ST., 800, 900 is appro-
priated for mail transportation, with a
provision that the Postmaster General is
directed to readjust compensation to be
paid to railroads after July l, 1875, by
reducing the rates 10 per centum per
annum from the rates allowed by the
Postoffice Appropriation bill of 1873.
The President is also authorized to APP
point com mission of three competent
persons to examine and report to Con-
gress at its next session such rules as
they may deem expedient to enable the
Postmaster General to fulfill the neees-
sary service of the department. The
highest salary allowed to postmasters is
81, 1000, excepting that of New York,
which is continued as at present.

How 10 Ileooule Healthy.

A writer in 7Gnsley's Magazine gives
his opinion and experience on this fre-
auently discussed subject. He starts
out by saying ,,se1o,f > t.
"Nobody ever repented of eating too
little" was the sage remark of an old
gentleman, on the verge OF 80, next to
whom the writer had the pleasure OF
sitting at dinner the other night. The
host was pressing him to eat more, and
urging him in ths usual phrase, Why,
YOU have eaten scarcely anything
Now, it is to be assumed that the old
pentleman's words indicated one OF the
by-ways to good health, along which he
had travelled through his long life, and
to which he owed his present remarkably
hearty condition so it was suggested to
him, interrogatively that he had always
been small feeder.
YES" he said, sever since 1 was
two or three and twenty; up to that time
was weakly fellow enough; and used
to make the mistake of trying to eat and
drink as much as I could, in the hope of
becoming strong. All my friends and
the doctors backed me in my error; but
fortunately found it out in time, and
knocked off, as your modern slang has
it, more than half my usual amount of
stimulants. l gave up the idea of max
ing myself strong, and merely strove
to make myself well, and i was content
with eating just as much as / could d.
gest and no more. OF course it took a
little time and experience to discover the
precise limits. l could not adopt the
golden rule of always leaving off with an
appetite, because I never began with
one, but, by persistently erring on the
right side, got hold Of one of the great
secrets of life-the secret of knowing
when one has enough-and after year
or tive became SO much better that /
used to find myself keenly ready to eat
at meal time, and by degrees actually
acquired an appetite. Then, once found,
never destroyed it, but always determ-
inately rose with the feeling that shoulp
like to eat more. Naturally, the tempta-
ton for awhile grew greater as my diges.
ton grew stronger; but 1 was firm; 1
did not behave ungratefully to my stom-
ach, and Immediately presume upon it's
increased powers by overlooking it; l
did not live to eat, but only eat to live;
and behold mel / have no need to be
very particular as to what eat even at
my time of life; have only to be care
full not to eat too much.
Here, indeed, is the great secret of a
great deal that is amiss with many of us.
We are in the habit of eating too much,
more than our digestive powers can
tackle, and that when is not assimilated
more or less poisons. The system be-
comes overcharged, and gives any latent
tendency to disease within us every fac
ulty for developing itself. The question
is not so much what to eat as what
quantity to eat; and nothing but sharp
lookout, kept by ourselves, can give us
the answer.

Emf Servia does not firht sinple.hand.

But Serv1a does not hight slngle-hand-
ed. Bosnia, Bulgaria, Herzegovina, and
Montenegro, although little principal
ties, weak in numbers, have q common
cause with Servia, and south of the
Balkans the Servian agents are already
at work among the disaffected Greeks,
stirring them up to active rebellion.
Meanwhile Russia, Austria, Germany,
and England have formed ring on the
Turkish frontiers to watch the fight.
Two of those powers, when the time
comes-that is, when the small boy gets
under-will step in; and those two
powers are Russia and Austria. Ger
many is disinterested spectator, so far
as the Eastern question is concerned,
and is only too grateful for Russian
non interference in the France-German
war to array herself against Gar. Eng
land showed her teeth when the Berlin
agreement was submitted to her, but
she will do no more. The lion may
growl, but will not bite.
When this war assumes its final grand
dimensions, it will be fought out to the
bitter end. 1t will not be closed until
the cause of Christian discomfort is Grad.
icated. Like our own war of independ-
ence, the primal cause which has arrayed
the Christians against the Turks was the
attempt of the latter to enforce an arbi-
trary and tyrannical system of taxation.
1t will end, like our own war, In indie
pendence but mere independence will
not satisfy Russ la or civilized Europe.
The contest can only be closed by re-
moving the Ottoman power. The Turk
must be banished from Europe and driv-
en- to his old Asiatic possessions. There
can be no permanent peace so long as
the Moslems remain in Europe. The
partition of Turkey is secondary ques-
ton. The necessity is to remove the
cause of the quarrel so that it may not
recur hereafter. In whatever way this
may be done, the civilized world will re-
joice when it is accomplished.

The Lash.

The Legislature of California passed
a law authorizing the infection of cor
poral punishment upon men for whip
ping their wives. There have been
several cases of wife beating since the
enactment of the statute, but magis-
trates have hesitated in ordering the
use of the lash. A Justice of the Peace
in Colusa, however, resolved to enforce
the law, and sentenced a man convicted
of beating his wife, to receive twenty one
lashes on his bare back. The attorney
for the defendant has appealed against
the conviction and sentence, and this
will probably raise the question as to
the constitutionality of the act. The
constitution of California says: eek
cessive bail shall not be required, nor
excessive fines enforced, nor shall cruel or
unusual punishments be inflicted" 1t
was claimed that whipping is both a
cruel and unusual punishment.

Anausurstion Of Her struggle for Indepen-
dence--The Strength OF Her Army.
From the Chicago Tribuns.l Uoatlis
II is an omen OF happy auspice that
Servia fred her first shot for freedom on
the 4th inst, and that the struggle of
the Sclavic Christians for their OWL and
religious rights will in future history
date from the Fourth of July, upon
which day our own country celebrated
its hundredth anniversary of indepen-
dence. Apart, therefore, from the gen.
eral features of the forthcoming war in
the East, apart from the effort of the
Sclavic principalities to free themselves
from the civil Tyranny and religious fam
atheism of the Turk, the struggle com
mends itself TO the American people as
dating from their own birthday OF free
dom. The moral sympathies of the
American people will be with the Christ
ian mountaineers in their struggle, and
it is not impossible that, in case the
weaker power is pushed to the wall,
Russia and Austria will come to her re-
lief. It is not impossible that Servia's
declaration of war after all is the first
move of Russia towards the expulsion OF
the Turk from Europe, and that
Prince Milan moves to the head OF the
army under the inspiration of the Rus
sian Foreign Office, which is saving its
blow until it becomes apparent that
Servia cannot win. Russia was the first
power to recognize the Herzegovinian
revolt. She has supplied the insurgents
with material of war and money. Her
agents and emissaries have given aid and
encouragement to the Christians. One
hundred and twenty-four of her best
officers are in the Servian army. A Rus
sian General commands that army and a
Russian strateg1st and diplomatist is at
Belgrade. Russia has held Servia In
check until Russian army-corps is
massed in Besserabia, and the Austrian
frontiers are swarmiDg with her bat
talions, from all of which we infer that
it is Russia that has pushed Servia to
the front.
Were the contest to be confined to
Servia, single handed against Turkey,
the hope for Christian independence
might be slight. The following state
ments o. the reiative forces, which we
give in tabulated form, will show this.
The army strength of Turkey in time of
war is as follows.

The funeral of the King of Ounyoro,
in Central Africa, is described in the
Journal de Paris. A pit was dug for
the body, and into it were flung several
natives whose legs and arms had been
broken with clubs. Their cries were
drowned by the shouts of the multitude,
while the dirt was thrown back into the
pit, burying them with the Kings body.
Religious orgies ensued.
