Life Lengthened.

First-Cultivate an equitable temper:
many q man has fallen dead in fit of
passion.
Second-Eat regularly, not over thrice
q day, and nothing between meals.
Third-Go to bed at regular hours Get
up as soon as you wake of yourself, and
do not sleep in the day,ime-at least, not
longer than ten minutes before noon.
Fourth-Wosk always by the day, and
not by the job.
Fiith-S op working before you art
very much tired-before yon are "fagg, d
out"
Sixth-Cultivate generous and accom-
modating temper.
Seventh-Ncver cross a bridge before
you come to it; this will save you hal f
the troubles of lite.
Eighth--Neyer eat when you are no
hungry, nor drink when you are not
thirsty.
Ninth-Let your appetite always come
uninvltcd.
Tenth-Cool off in q place greatly
warmer than the one in which you have
been exercis;ng; this simple rule would
prevent inca!culable sickness, and save
millions of lives every year.
Eleventh-Ncyer resist call of nature
for single moment.
Twelfth-Never allow yourself to be
chilled ''through and through" it is this
which destroys so many every yeer, in u
few days sickness, from pneumonia
called by some, lung fever-or inflammation
of the lungs.
Thirteenth-Whoever drinks no liquids
at meals will add years of plcasurable ex-
istence to his life. or cold or warm
drinks the former are the more rernicious;
drinking at meals induces persons to cat
more than they otherwise would, as any
one can verify by experiment, and it is
excess in eating which devastates the land
with sickness, suffering, and death.
fOurteenth-After fifty years of ago, if
not day laborer, and sedentary pers rs
after forty ,one should eat but twice day
in the morning and about four IN the af

quate rest will "give out'' prematurely.
Fifteenth-Begin early TO live under the
benign influence of the Christian religion;
tor il "has the promise of the life that
now is, and of that which is to come"

Rumors or strikes.
questions,

It will be we'll for people generally to put
very little faith in reports Of strikes that
are threatened or impending. There is no
doubt that the gentlemen Of Wall street
and other streets Of that nature have imme-
diately and fully recognized the importance
of the strike as an element in that calcutta
ton Of chances on which 80 much Of their
business is based. 1t has taken tor the
time being the place of Commodore Van
derbilt's illness and of other facts that may
have in common with it the quality of un-
settling values. IT a strike occurs on
great railroad down must necessarily 60 the
price Of its shares and bonds, and if people
can be frightened by the shadow Of COM
ing strike on the same road the same effect
will be produced in lesser degree. It is
safe just now to believe that oil concerned
have had enough of striking.

The Survivors OF '4s,

It was happy thought of the venerable
Mr.. Downer to summon to clambake on
his own pleasant grounds near Boston rs
many as he could get together of the sur
viving free soil leaders of 1848. Yesterday
was the anniversary of the meeting of the
famous Buffalo Convention, ut which came
together men from both the parties, wings
and democrats, to protest against the
policies of both parties and TO make
a platform of their own in de-
tiance of party bonds. On this platform,
which was protest against slavery extern
sion, they nominated Martin Van Buren,,
and by this nomination they caused the
election OF General Taylor but eventually
the destruction of the wing party, which
had outlived its usefulness quite as much
as the republican party has now.
Of the three hundred grave and reverend
seniors who met around Mr.. Downers
festive board yesterday not few had been
long estranged from each other politically,
and it must have amused and perhaps sur
prsed Charles Francis Adams, Judge Hoar,
George L. Hoar, Frank Bird, Elizur Wright
and others, to find themselves seated AMIGA
bly, at the same dinner table But
they forgot, by common consent, all
recent differences, and united to recall
the days in which they stood together
in good fight for liberty. One wishes, as
he reads the names of those present, that
Sumner, Henry Wilson, John A. Andrew,
Horace Mann William s. Robinson Arson
Burlingaine and many others could have
lived to join the company and to hear Mr.
Downer's brief but felicitous remarks and
follow Mr. Adams in his account of the con-
dition of political affairs which led to the
Buffalo Convention.
Nor are Mr. Adams remarks without in
struction to us OF the present day. When
he spoke of n condition of parties in which
the political leaders 1.-THE more prominent
and active statesmen of the time, content
with the positions they had gained by their
public services, were not disposed to shake
these by taking mp new questions"
he gave an accurate picture of the
condition of parties now. The interesting
sketch lie gave of the rise of a new party,
and of the measures which led to the
destruction of one and the defeat of the
other of the old organizations is instructive
reading for these days when both the old
parties are in n state OF disorganization, and
when the leaders are striving in vain to
push back the new questions which yet
will not down.

How the Strikes Are Used Abroad.
In France very free use is made Of our re-
cent labor disturbances by the parties OPP
posed to the republican principle, who hold
up these unpleasant facts as reproach to free
government and as an evidence that Henry
V. or Louis Philippe II. should be king of
France or Napoleon Nv. emperor. From
this it appears that they had better opin-
ion of republicanism than we did. They
thought that under it people ought to be
governed forever without any friction in the
machinery. We did not. 1t is certain that
the founders OF the Republic did not believe
the government they originated was perfect,
and they never made such claim. Neither
have their descendants. They believed it
was, as form of government, the best yet
known and prominently the best for
this people. In our opinion both points are
brilliantly proved by experience. Compare
the operation of our government for hun
drcd years with the operation of any gov
eminent in Europe. Compare them even
for the simple fact of the main
tenance of order. Is disorder, riot,
revolt, revolution on the part of
a people an evidence that the form of gov
eminent under which they live is hope
lcssly defective? How terribly, then, is
monarchy condemned in the history of
France! In one hundred years one civil
war menaced our government but could not
destroy it. Count the terrible revolutions
and minor reyolts that have afflicted France
in the same period. We do not refer to
these rs reproaches in the history of great
people, but only as in themselves an answer
to the silly pretension that the forms of gov
eminent based on privilege secure order
better than form based on equality. There
will be disconnected people from time to
time under any form OF government, and
where the American people arc discontinued
to any great OK tent there will always be re-
volt; for they understand that their liberty
depends on that. It is better to have order
deranged little now and then than have
liberty overlaid and hidden by orderly in
crustations These storms clear the air. 1t
is claimed, and rightly, as we believe, for
our government that they will occur less
frequently under it than under any other
and be recovered from more readily.

The Bulgarian Campaign.


The long line representing the Russian
front in Bulgaria extends from the mouth OF
the River Vid southwark in front of Plevna
and curves eastward by Lovatz, Selvi and
Tirnova. 1t then curves toward Osman
Bazaar and northward by Rasgrad to the
southern side of Rustchuk. Within the
circumference described, and which is
completed by the Danube between
Rustchuk and the mouth of the Vid.
the main body of the Russian army is en-
camped. The force presents fronts toward
Plevna, Lovatz and Selvi on the right, and
toward Osman Bazaar, Rasgrad and Rust
chuk on the left. The right wing is covered
by the Roumanian detachment of twenty
five thousand men, which recently crossed
the Danube for that purpose. The left il
held by the troops under the Czarevitch, who
operates against Rustchuk. Tho centre, or
great bulk Of the Russian force. has its
headquarters at Bjela, under the imme-
diate eye of the Gar The Grand Duke
Nicholas has his headquarters at Bulgareni,
on the Osen, whence he directs the opera
tons of the right wing against Plevna and
Lovatz. In the mountain passes Of Shipka
and Demir Kapu General Gourkha is
intrenched, awaiting the order to march to
the support of the main army or to resume
operations IN Roumelia. Such are the present
positions of the Russians south OF the
Danube. In the meantime, as our de-
spatches announce, reinforcements are
in, IN IN a
immense army OF the Car.
On the other hand, the Turks occupy
very strong lines from Plevna to Selvi, and
from east Of Tirnova to northeast of Ras-
grad, and covering Osman Bazaar The
fights at Lovatz and Jaslar were COL
of both armies ut these places The
Turkish headquarters continues ut Shumla,
whence force is thrown out to the north
eastward against the Russians under Zim-
hermann in the Dobrudscha. The reported
defeat Of the Russians at P1evna is uncon-
advance against the Turkish position, and
the rumor of conflict comes from
Constantinople- doubtful source
of information. 1t is certain, how
ever, that great battle cannot long
be Delayed. The movement toward Ras-
grad indicates that grand effort will be
made to break the Turkish line in that
direction. Another assault on Plevna is
inevitable, and the result must have great
influence on the campaign. The Servian
mobilization of forty thousand men brings
another factor into the calculation of
chances.

A number of personal and political friends
OF Senator Conkling propose to welcome
him on his return from Europe by sere-
The HERALD joins with them in welcoming
the distinguished Senator and hopes that he
returns with restored health and renewed
vigor to serve his country.
Mr.. Conkling returns to find party ques-
tions and issues put aside by oil thoughtful
men for considerations Of greater and i'm
mediate importance. The railroad strikes
have advertised to everybody the want and
suffering brought upon all interests, en-
ployers as well rs workingmen, by the pro-
longed stagnation and prostration Of all our
Industries. When hundreds of thousands
of honest and industrious families are suf-
fering, when hundreds Of thousands of
willing workers stand in enforced idleness,
when factories and workshops of oil kinds
are stopped, it is an impertinence to stir up
faction quarrels and magnify the petty and
vulgar strife for Office. The two parties are
dead. The country calls for statesmen able
and willing to rescue it from want, for men
wise enough and strong enough to push
aside the squabblers for office, the
demagogues and psrtisans, and to bring for
ward measures needed to revive our perish
ing industries and comm cree and 10 set the
people once more ut work. We hope to see
MIR. Conkling take the lead in this needed
work. He is man of great influence in the
Senate; his talents and his position combine
to raise him above the position of mere
partisan. He can do the country great and
real service, as he has done before. We
trust he will come at once to the
work, and that he will show, in the very
first days of his arrival, that he means to
play the part of statesman, and not Of
partisan as his enemies pretend. In our
judgment he has great opportunity, the
greatest of his life, and we hope he will not
hesitate in using it. A few ringing words
from him, calling men from partisan strife
to attend to- the country's needs, will be
hailed with JOY oil over the land and make
him in oil mems eyes the leader in the new
questions.

Auential Senators. and the harder he fights

fuential Senators, and the harder he fights
the worse it will be for him.
We regard the action of the Maine Con-
vention, therefore, as beneficial to the
country, because it will hasten the disor-
ganization of parties; and as fortunate for
the President, because the alliance OF Mr.
Blaine could only have brought him annoy
ance and trouble. The fall elections are
chiefly important because they intensity the
strife within the two parties and hasten
their disintegration. The Maine plat
form will help this good work and hasten
the day Of new party organizations so much
needed. The present party leaders do not
serve the country's interests; they seek only
to maintain their own positions. New lead
ers are required, and the country waits
impatiently for men who are not
afraid OF the "new questions" OF
which Mr. Lamar spoke the other day.
What hope for the country is there in such
ridiculous and empty platform as that OF
the Maine republicans? It would have
been q misfortune for the President to be
approved by men who had no more to say
to the country than the stale ten-year-old
twaddle of the Mainc platform.
