Good Living and Dyspepsia.

Good living is said to cause dyspepsia;
but the most healthy people have ever
known have been among those who
lived well-who ate freely several times
a day of the most nutritious food. By
some it is said that tobacco, snuff, tea,
coffee, butter, and even bread, cause
this complaint, but whoever will make
inquiries on this subject throughout the
community, will find that this is seldom
true. In fact, dyspepsia prevails, ac-
cording to my experience, altogether
the most among the temperate and care
ful-among those who are careful as re-
CARDS what they eat and drink, and the
labor they put on the stomach, but ex-
ceedingly careless how much labor they
put upon the brain. Such people often
eat nothing but by the advice of doc
tor or some treatise on dyspepsia, or by
weight, nor drink anything that is not
certainly harmless; they chew every
mouthful until they are confident, on
mature reflection, that it cannot hurt
the stomach.
Why, then, are they dyspeptic? Be-
cause, 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 it
is not strange that such persons have
nervous and stomachic affections. The
constant excitement of the brain sends
an excess of blood to the head, and,
| therefore, other organs are weakened,
and morbid sensibility is produced,
which renders the stomach liable to de-
rangement from slight tcauses.-Dr. HoL-
brooks "LiUer Complaint"

A good old minister in the south of
Scotland had servant man, Sandy,
who had an inveterate habit of either
over or under comprehending the truth.
The minister had labored long to con-
vince Sandy that his conduct was sim
ful, but to no purpose. On certain oc-
casion, having been put to considerable
inconvenience through Sandy's bad
habit, he again lectured him about his
besetting weakness, but utterly failed to
convince Sandy as to his shortcoming.
Still pressing the matter more closely
home, he said, "Well, Sandy, if it's not
sin, what do you call it ?" Sandy,
struggling his shoulders aud looking
very innocent, replied, "Weel, deed,
sir, think you may cat a moral
suuint."

THE blowing up of the rocks at Hallett's
Point, or He'll Gate, in the East river, New
York, was successfully accomplished by
Gen. Newton, on Sunday afternoon. For
seven years past the tunneling of the sub
marine reef has been in progress, and more
than million and half of dollars have
been expended. The area of operations
covered several acres. When all the ar
rangements were completed the excava-
tions were charged with over 50, 900 lbs. of
explosives vulcan powder and
rend rock. This was distributed in cases
or cartridges in such way as to be most
effective. At $50 p. NJ, on Sunday, the
whole charge was instantaneously fired by
an electrical battery placed at safe dis
lance. The effect was to tear to pieces the
honeycombed rock beneath the water. The
explosion produced outwardly was nothing
remarkable, and the many thousands of
people who had gathered in the rain to see
it ego off" were rather disappointed. The
water and foam were thrown up in the air
some distance, and there was a slight
tremor of the earth. The broken rock
will now have to be taken out, which will
make channel of sufficient depth for
large vessels. 1t is expected that when the
work is fully completed the commerce Of
New York for Europe will take the route
by the East river and Long Island sound.

Two years ago Tilden was elected Gov
ernor of New York as Reform candidate
over General Dix, whose administration
had been remarkably brilliant and success
full in reducing the State debt and taxation.
A number of influential Liberals seem to
have supported Tilden Oil that occasion
under the belief that he was a sincere Re-
former. But from the revelations made in
the present canvass it is apparent that there
never was greater imposter nominated
for high office, and the Gubernatorial
canvass must have been conducted in a
very slovenly manner or he never could
have been elected. He claimed credit for
prosecuting Tweed, and yet it is now
proven by his own letters that Tweed fur
nished him as Chairman of the Democratic
State Committee with funds to elect Hoff-
man Governor of New York. His Canal
Reform has proved complete tizzle, and
has not turned into the State Treasury
money enough to pay for the investigation.
The reduction of taxes for which he re-
ceived credit was simply the natural result
of the reduction of debt made by Gov
ernor Dix. His career as Wall street
stock operator is the most disgraceful fea
ture of his life, his utter faithessness hav-
ing entirely ruined one of his confederates,
who died of chagrin and modification.
His career as "rairoad lawyer" can be
justified on no principle of legal duty or
common honesty. He was simply a rail
road wrecker and shared the plumber with
his associates. And such is the pattern
Reformer.

THERE is dismal uniformity, says the
New York Times, in the statements of the
Democratic speakers of all grades when
talking of the condition and prospects of
the country. Mr.. Tilden struck the key
note when he depicted the universal preva-
lence of distress throughout the land. His
supporters everywhere have adopted the
same tone. They profess to see nothing but
the darkness of despair as the result of Re-
publican rule. Our improved public credit is
to them as nothing. They ignore the high
standing which our public securities have
acquired in the markets of the world, and
which testifies as eloquently to the conf
dence that is reposed in the integrity and
sagacity of Republican administration, as
to the resources of the country and the
self sacrificing fidelity with which they
have been applied to uphold the nations
faith. With equal recklessness, they dis
card evidence which proves that the depres-
sion from which this country is happily
emerging prevails with greater severity i'll
England and Scotland, and therefore can
not be attributed to causes connected with
politics. Following out the same wretched
policy, they refuse to recognize the signs
of improvement which are multiplying on
all sides, content, apparently, to prolong
depression and embarrassment, if these
can be used as auxiliaries to partisanship.
The defeat of the Democratic party may
not be essential to better times, but it will
suppress those prophets of evil who take
special delight in assailing the credit of
the country and magnifying the misfortunes
of the people.

Campaign Notes.

1t is admitted in Alabama by Democrats
that their apparent great victory in the
late State election was due simply to the
non voting of the negroes, and that the
prospect in the State in the Presidential
election is at least debatable.
A crisp little pamphlet of nearly 800
pages, solid octave, closely printed, has
just been issued from Gov. 1ilden's Liberty
street campaign gristmill, but it does not
contain a word about that income business.
Crowded out for want of space, probably.
The Cincinnati Commercial says that
there is no danger that Governor Hayes
will be controlled by bad men when he is
elected President. "Those who are calcu-
lating that Hayes can easily be pulled about
by the nose and managed according to the
susceptibilities of the machine managers,
are, we believe, mistaken. There is fight
in Hayes when there is war"
Mr.. George William Curtis addressed a
large Republican mass meeting at Concord,
New Hampshire, Friday evening of last
week, in which he predicted that New FORK
would vote for Hayes in November, and
said: "Mr. Dorshemer told us in Faneuil
Hall the other evening that General Hayes
was an amiable, we'll meaning and mega
tive man. A negative man, is he? Yes
When the tide of battle was raging in our
country he put negative upon George II.
Pendleton, in Ohio. After the war he put
a negative upon Senator Thurman. Last
Fall, in the hardest contest ever waged in
this country between honest and rag money,
he put a negative on old Bill Allen. And
mark my word, on the It'll of November
next, he will put another negative upon
Samuel J. Tilden."
At the close of its editorial remarks upon
Governor Tilden's "explanation that does
not explain the New York Tribune sums
up the case in this pungent manner: "Gov.
/ Tilden may indeed have kept himself within
the letter of the law, but it is plain that he
evaded its spirit. He could not be sent to
the penitentiary, as he is trying to send
Jarvis Lord, for defrauding the Govern
ment, but he contrived to keep the Gov
eminent from getting out of him the money
to which it was entitled. He did not tell
the horse car conductor he had paid his
fare, but he kept his hands in his pockets
and looked unconcernedly at the conduc-
tor, as if he had; and tho effect was the
same. When the conductor detects such a
passenger, he generally wants to put him
off the car. When the American people
find him running as Reform candidate
for the Presidency, they are going to vote
for the other man."

THE REFORM PRETENSE.

No better illustration is needed of the
shallowness of the Democratic cry of Re
form than the position which John Kelly
and John Morrissey occupy in that party
tot day. The one the leader Of an organi-
cation recognized and admitted as the most
corrupt this country has ever produced, the
Boss of a society whose most conspicu-
GUS member was William NJ. Tweed: the
other an ex-pugilist and a professional
gambler, whose whole life has been devoted
attainment of influence only by the most
unlawful and disgraceful means. These
two characters are to-day the most promi-
nent figures in New Y ork politics, so far
as the Democracy is concerned. They are
the men put forward to represent great
party in great State. They are the per-
sonages who are the exemplars of great
principle. Upon them is made to hinge
the success or the defeat Of reform can
vass. Theirs the names most frequently
and loudly applaudcd by Democratic meet
ings and conventions. At the State Con
vention of that party, at Saratoga, few
days ago, the name of Samuel J. TIldeu
sank into insignificance when that of Kelly
or of Morrissey was mentioned. Theirs
were applauded to the echo, his was re-
ceived in comparative silence. Nothing
and purposes, the real spirit of those i'm
maculate patriots who are banded together
under the banner of Democracy. Behind
this specious cry of Reform there is, of
course, an Interior design. No better proof
is needed of what that design is than is
furnished by the lives and known charac-
tiers of these two men. Reform is what
they demand; but reform that will give
to them the opportunity of putting their
principles into practice on a larger scale.
A reform that will permit them to carry
into National affairs the same low trickery,
the same system of public plumber that has
characterized their rule in New York City
A reform that will allow them to divide
the spoils, to distribute the patronage, and
to illustrate their version of the phrase
addition, division and silence" What
do such men as they care for honest gov
eminent, for integrity in officials, for purity
of the ballot box, for the untrammeled
rights of citizenship, except SO far as a
pretended defense of them may serve their
present purposes? Under such Defense
however, they hope to steal into the posi-
tions of authority, and to gain that control
which in no other manner could they reach
Our faith in the intelligence of the Ameri-
can people has not yet been so shaken as
to induce US to believe that they will not
perceive the utter hollowness of the cry
defense.

THE intelligence from Ohio and Indiana
is of the most cheering character for the
Republicans. The canvass in Indiana ex-
ceeds anything ever before witnessed in
this country. The best speakers of the
East and West have traversed the State
from end to end, and have everywhere been
received with the most unbounded enthusi-
asm. The reception of Mr.. Harrison, the
candidate for Governor, has been one con-
tinual ovation. Within the past fortnight
new viger has been infused into the Ohio
fight, the Democrats driven from under
cover, and the promise now is that we shall
have a good majority on the second Tues
day in October, as a send-off for tremen-
dous one for Hayes and Wheeler in Novem-
her,

THE Commissioners to negotiate "trea
ty" with the Northern Indians have at the
second attempt-the savages holding back
got them together and induced the chiefs
to sign treaty, after making many objec-
tions, also complaints against the "Great
Father" in not fulfilling his promises to
them; and even after the signing was done,
evincing an indisposition to leave their
present reservation; but at the same time
expressing a confident expectation that
they were to be fed and otherwise provided
for by the Government. Even Red Cloud
made querulous speech, urging many
foolish reasons why they should not go to
the Missouri River, and not leaving very
favorable impression. Still, the so-called
signing with "crosses" was completed,
the treaty containing the exact terms and
words as at first presented.

CARD TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC
For many years we have made two med
icines suited to the ailments of a vast class
of sufferers. Thousands of cures have
been made by them, and, in fact, the word
failure could never be coupled with them.
But within the last two years counterfeits
of our medicines have sprung up, danger
ons in their close imitation of our Trade
Mark. To secure the people we have
placed upon each genuine box of Holloway's
Pills and Holloway's Ointment the fac
smile of the signature of our Agent, Mr.
Jos. Haydock. TO counterfeit this is felony
We shall relentlessly pursue any one who
initiates this with the utmost vigor of the
law. We most earnestly beg that the
great mass of the American people will
aid us in our efforts to protect their health,
and help US in our task of bringing these
most unprincipled men to the bar of
justice. Uniformly refuse to purchase
Medicines purporting to be ours unless Mr..
Jos. Haydock's signature is attached to
each Box of Pills or Pot of Ointment and
the end will soon be reached.
The public's obedient servants,
