WE confidently expected to be able this
week to announce the success of Gen.
Howard in his pursuit of Ch;ef Joseph and
his Nez Perces warriors. TIE telegraph
las, however, failed to furnish any such
information. II was zen days on Wednes-
day last since Howard started on his hunt
from General Gibbons disastrous battle

from that point and then west, aud that
on Tuesday last he had got back into Idaho
and quietly oncamped at IIole-in the. Rock
stage station, ninety miles north of Fort
Hall. The country must patiently wait
until Howard is heard from. Some of the
army officers have expressed the envious
opinion that in this famous huut after
Joseph, Howard might carry the thing too
far and accidentally find him.

Governor says he will not remove them
until perfect peace and safety are secured.
The miners declare that at the present rate
of wages it is utterly impossible for them
to support themselves aud their families,
while, on the olher hand, the owners protest
that at the present price of coal they can
not increase the pay without an absolute
loss to themselves. Who will cut this
Gordean knot between the workingmen
and their employers? 1t is impossible to
say, for no outside power can interfere.

The Canary o Very Sensible Bird.

AS general rule, you cannot give a
bird too much fresh air. Even in the
winter time, although it is never safe or
expedient to hang the cage in the window,
it is advisable to throw open the window
once or twice day and let in the air.
Canaries are tender creatures, but they
will stand low temperature-as low as
80 degrees-providing they be out of the
reach of draughts. A temperature not
lower than 60 degrees is perhaps more
desirable, and this should be maintained
day and night if possible. More birds
sicken and die ftSm diseases contracted
by exposure to night chiIiness than from
any other causes. Again, the air of the
room should not be over heated or sutfused
with gas. If of morning you should
chance to observe the same tinge gather
ing on the wings of your canary that is
constantly noticeable on silver plate in
winter, the chances are that coal gas has
much to do with it. On the other hand,
the odor of tobacco smoke, instead of in
juring, seems TO have the tendency to
improve the brightness of the plumage,
and at the same time to put more vigor
into the canary's song. Were I writing
without some experience, l should un-
hesitatingly say, never subject your birds
at all to tobacco smoke. But facts ap-.
pear to convert any counsel of the order;
for my own birds, whenever tobacco is
lighted, will, if the cage doors are open,
Immediately fly toward the smoker, and
vie with each other in getting into the
densest cloud. Having shifted the aro-
ma, they will light upon the shoulder,
or the back of the chair, and pour forth
the sweetest harmonies of the day. Per
nit me to suggest, then, plenty of fresh
air, and even moderate temperature and
occasionally tobacco smoke. Be sure,
however, that during and after smoking
a current of fresh air is allowed TO pass
through and to ventilate the room,-Ap-
pLetonS' Journal.

dyspepsia.

If man wishes to get rid of dyspepsia
he must give his stomach and brain less to
do. 1t will be of no service for him to
follow any particular regimen--to live on
chaff bread, or any such stuff-to weigh
his food, ETC. so long as the brain is in
a constant state of excitement. Let that
have proper rest, and the stomach will
perform its functions. But if he pass
fourteen or fifteen hours day in his
office or counting room, and take no ex-
ercise, his stomach will inevitably become
paralyzed, and if he puts nothing into it
but cracker day it will not digest it.
Iu many cases it is the brain that is the
primary cause. Give that delicate organ
some rest. Leave your business behind
you when you go to your home. Do not
SIT to your dinner with your brows knit,
and your mind absorbed in casting up
interest accounts. Never sbridge the
usual hours of sleep. Take more or less
exercise in the open air every day. AL
low yourself some innocent recreation
Eat moderately, slowly, and of what you
please, provided it should not be the
shovel and tongs. If any particular
dish disagrees with you, however, never
touch it or look at it. Do not imagine
that you must live on rye bread or oat
meal porridge; a reasonable quantity of
nutritious food is essential to the mind as
well as the body. Above all. bafish all
thoughts upon the subject If you have
any treatises on dyspepsia, domestic
medicine, etc. put them directly into the
fire. If you are constantly talking and
thinking about dyspepsia, you will surely
haveit. Endeavor to forget that you have
stomach. Keep clear conscience;
live temperateIy, regularly, cleanly; be
industrious, too, but be temperate.-Ap-
plet0ns' Journal.
