WattersOn's Advice.


Henry Watterson, writing to his
journal on the Tribunal disgrace
winds up his letter as follows:
am sure that can not see the
wisdom, or the blessing, in this
present business; but, for my part,
l mean to accept it, as l have accept
ed many things, son faith," faith in
the creative principle of the uni
verse, faith in human nature, faith
in the people and faith in the flu
ture. l earnestly advise everybody
to do the same; especially urging
upon Democrats the good sense, as
well as the duty, of doing these
things, to-wit:
First-Preserve the party organi-
zation intact, without flaw or
doubt.
Seeond-Suppress violent thoughts
and extreme ejaculation, for anger
never mended any cause.
Tird-Treat Hayes like a gen
tleman until he proves himself a
usulper by his acts.

The extent to which the currency
has been contracted within the past
two years is shown by the New
York Times:
The act of Jan. 4, 1875, known as
the resumption act, removed ali re-
strictions upon the maximum Of
National bank issues, and provided
that, until the legal tenders out
standing became reduced to $780,
100000, $50 OF them should be
Withdrawn and Cancelled for every
800 of additional bank note circu
lation emitted; the act of June 90,
1874, gave the banks permission to
retire their circulation. The un-
limited permission to surrender cir
culation has now been in force two
years and seven months, and the
unlimited permission to emit new
notes has been in force two years.
After giving complete statement
of the actual operations under these
two acts, the Times says: "The net
result is a contraction of S30,96l,- =
504 in the bank circulation, and
s17,O15,l88 in the legal tenders, or
$47.976.G92 in ALL"

Piles as food on the same principles
that grapes are used. The cure by
apples might be equally popular if
introduced. Who has an orchard
where it can be triedF A writer
states that after being troubled with
heartburn, wakefulness, indigestion,
etc., he adopted the practice of eat
ing apples with each meal daily, and
it cured him. When he begun he
weighed one hundred and thirty
pounds. Two months later he had
increased to one hundred and sixty
pounds, his strength being similar
ly increased. Instead Of .bitters
for the stomach, cathartics for the
bowels, iron for the blood" all
of which weaken tae vital organs
and give relief that is only tempo
rary, apples are natural stimulant.

Happiness is unborn. 1t is not
an outward trait. II is generated
in the soul. 1t is never bought or
sold as an article of commerce.
You may fill your house with all
manner of beautiful and curious
things but you cannot lay in a stock
of happiness in the same way. If
you are happy your happiness is
that which you are able to make by
the use of mind itself. A funda-
mental condition of happiness in
this world is activity, and that kind
of activity which carries with it all
the faculties.
