After Dinner Maps,

No wonder if half the world knows
qOw pleasant ii is to take an after din
ner nap, and what a reliefit is to the
Overburdened brain--or stomach. We
used to know lawyer who took his nap
every day after dinner on the chairs {;
and that lawyer, if he continues the
practice, will die an old man. If there
is any one time when man is forced
to exert himself-whether in muscular
or brain labor--to work, 1t is after the
MONDAY meal. If all men could only
rest, not one hour, but two hours, and
cOnld put the extra time on the closing
hours of the day, what an improve
ment would be made in their health
Whether he be farmer, or mechanic
or professional man, good rest after
dinner leaves the man In better condi-
ton for hard labor than even In the
morning. 1t was a sensible farmer
who, in harvest, always made an agree
ment with his workmen to work ten
hours a day and from twelve O'Clock
no work was done unless In case Of
emergency, or something that required
extra exertion. The men had glorious
times sleeping under trees after dinner.
They always used up three quarters Of
an hour at the table, and then slept
one hour and a quarter during the heat
Of the day. The result was, they were
never over-workcd, and the former got
more labor from his men than did any
Of his neighbors from theirs, though
their men often worked twelve hours a
day. When two oo'clock came the hands
were all in good trim, completely res
ted, and could do double the work with
more ease than if they had commenced
at one o'clock A single hours rest at
the proper time works wonders.

For the EAGLE.
The Presidents Policy, as Viewed by Man
Who Served Upon His staff.

EDITOR EAGLE The sympathies
of every unprejudiced mind are in uni
son to-day with the acts of President
Hayes in all that relates to civil serv-
ice reform. The Individual or the
party that attempts to block the
wheels of progress in this direction
will simply be crushed. But the SYM
pathies of thinking, unprejudiced
people are not the sympathies of an
organized party-leastwise of the
dominant party of to-day.
The position assumed by President
Hayes is not an enviable one, viewed
from partizap standpoint. Taking
up the tangled skein of government
where his predecessor had consider
ately left off, he is confronted at the
very outstart by state of affairs re-
curing the exercise of the utmost
skill and profoundest judgment. We
know that plaudits by an enemy are
to be viewed, in general, with dis
trust; but how about the snecrs of
friend? We see the spectacle of this
mans supporters denouucing him,
whilst his adversaries show marked
signs of appreciation of his acts in the
case of South Carolina and Louisiana.
'He serves his party best who
serves his country first" Blot out
this grand sentiment from the career
of Rutherford u. Hayes and you leave
him as a tree shorn Of the wealth and
beauty of verdure. Invest him with
it, as he is invested with it, and you
get glowing insight into the charac-
ter of the man who will not only car
ny the country safely through the
widest pcriis, but will bring the
principles of his party TO a triumph
ant issue. AS regards his policy in |
the case of South Carolina and Loui- |
s.ana, we believe the result will In no |
way prove TO the disadvantage of the |
colored race. But it has already I
the death knell of once rul- /
ing element, known as the &. b. Ac-
cepting all the opprobrium heaped
upon him for the act, without muir.

sight beyond the Indians position.
Miller pushed out in skirmish order
and met the train, and escorted it sue
cessfully. They had hardly formed q
junction with us when the artillery
battalion, already beyond the enemy's
flank, made rapid movement, taking
the Calling guns and howitzer along.
The Indians made one desperate eff
fort to flank Miller, but failed, and
then gave way. Everything was then
pushed in pursuit, and we shelled
them rapidly from the high bluffs as
they issued from the left bank of the
river, and followed them, escaping in
every dirertion as far as the river, and
are now across aud are going into
camp at 1880 p. m. The loss OF the In
dams are thirteen killed and several
wounded. We have, Captain Bancroft
and Lieutenant Williams and eleven
enlisted men killed, and twenty-four
wound. Their camps were aban-
doned in great haste, leaving much
plumber. The Indians fought as well
as any troops ever saw, and so did
ours. l now believe that | am in a
fine condition, Just as soon as Green
appears from Boize, to make thorough
work of these Indians.

The Narrow Gauge.

The board OF directors OF the mer

adopted resolution favoring the con.

Central narrow gauge railroad. 1t is
an enterprise of great importance to
st. Louis and the country through
which it is proposed to build it. The
route especially mentioned is from ST.
Louis to Lebanon, Missouri, by laying
a third rail on the St. Louis & San
Francisco road thence TO Boliver, on
the road bed already graded, and
from there to the coal fields of Barton

Z Spanish Outrage.

a letter from Captain Sayler, of the
whaling schooner Rising Sun, states
that on the Goth of May he was cruis-
Ing off the South Keys, on the coast of
Cuba, on the lookout.for whales. AT
nine a. m. school was sighted, and
Captain Sayler and his chief mate had
killed two small ones and were pur-
suing others, when he was fired upon
by Spanish cruiser, and his chief
mate taken prisoner and held as a
hostage until the arrival of a Spanish
gunboat. The mate was detained five
days on board of the cruiser, when
the Spanish gunboat arrived and de-
clared the papers correct. His deten-
tion at this particular time, in the
midst of school of whales, was a
serious loss to Captain Sayler and the
vessel.

muir rejecting the appreciation of an
other class, he has gone straight for
ward in the discharge Of his official
duties; restoring peace to the south,
instituting reforms in every branch of
the government, every day unfolding
some new beauty of the workings of
his system. Its immediate results
will not accrue to the benefit of the
Republican party, but if it follows the
leadership of Hayes aud seconds all
his efforts at genuine reform it will
ride triumphantly into power in 1880.
