An Important Fact.

Exercise for the body, occupation
for the mind-these are the granC
constituents of health and happiness
the cardinal points upon which ever
ything turns. Motion seems to bt
the great preserving principal of ma
tqre, to which even inanimate things
are subject; for the winds, the waves
the earth itself, are restless, and the
waving of trees, shrubs, and flowers
is known to be an essential part OF
thier economy. Afixed rule of taking
several hours of exercise every day,
if possible, in the open air, if not,
under cover, will be almost certain
to secure one exemption from disease,
as well as from the attacks of low
spirits, or e1aaasSi, that monster who
is ever waylaying the rich and indo-
lent. "Throw but stone and the

In Ohio there are fifty railroads,
exclusive of the narrow guage
'roads-eight of which did not pay
their running expenses during the
year of 1875. Thirteen paid no in
terest on their bonded Indebtedness
Seven are in the hands of receivers
The gross receipts of these railroads
for 1875 amounted to $34, lie, ,049,
while the operating expenses were
$24, 4,4O4, ,575, leaving S9,714,484
The total cost of these roads, inclu'
ding all debts, was $3l7,225,232,
showing that the net earnings are q
trifie over three per cent. of the in,
vested capital. The total bonded
indebtedness of these roads is $780,
600, 900, ali of which bear six pei
cent. interest or more, so that the
net earnings will not be sufficient te
pay the interest on the bonded debt

1,ona,.,l c..r.tield,s e,nlanation of

General Garfeld's explanation OF
his withdrawal from the Senatorial
contest in Ohio is given out by
correspondent of The Chicago Tn
5uae, who processes to have heard
It from the Generals lips just be
fore the opening of the recent Ohio
canvass. When asked why he had
Welded to the Presidents request,
he replied: "Well, l thought at
first the President had no right,
in reality, to interfere in the mat
ter. But concluded TO think the
subject over, seeing he had asked 1t,
and see if there was not, after all, a
side from which 1t might be all
right. In the first place, l was well
enough off, perhaps, where l was,
aud the new position was only for
the short, unexpired term.of another
man, and | would not get fairly
started in it, provided l was sue
cessful in getting it, before l would
be Obliged 10 go through the un-
pleasant process of recanvass- In
order to accept the Senatorial cleo
tion, l would be obliged to give up
the old XIXth District, which has
stood by me so long. But what
was the greatest argument, perhaps,
WAS the opinion that this being an
off year, there would probably be
considerable Indifference among the
people, and that nine chances out of
ten the State would go Democrat
CO. The General has no reason to
regret now that he came to so wise
conclusion. When he sees what
that short Senatorial term has done
for Stanley Matthews, he ought to
be filled with eternal gratitude to
the President for removing him
from harms way.

will reduce the Republican majority
to four, when all the seats are full.
AS Senator Sharon is habitually alb
sent, the actual majority is only
three. The admission of the Demo
cratic claimants from Louisiana amp
South Carolina would balance even
lv the strength of parties upon the
floor, but the Republican supremacy
would still be maintained by the
casting vote of Vice-President
Wheeler. Since 1871 the Republi-
cans have lost sixteen Senators, and
gained one-not considering the
seats now in dispute. The gain is
in California, and the losses are in
the following States, Connecticut
(2), New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Indiana (2), Illinois, West
Virginia, North Carolina, Florida,
Mississippi. Arkansas, Missouri, and
Texas (2). Unless a breaking up of
parties should sooner occur, the
Democrats will be certain during
the next two years, to make further
gains of one Senator IN each of the
following States: Ohio, South Car
olina, Florida, Alabama, and Ar
kansas. In no State have the Re
publicans any prospect of gaining a
seat, unless it be in Connecticut.
1t would therefore seem as well as
sured as anything can be in politics,
that the control of the Senate will
pass into the hands of the Demo
Gratis in 1879
