A VARIEGATED SALARY.

If there is any preacher or priest
who is dissatisfied with the pay he is re-
ceiving Gas, no doubt, some have reason to
be,) let him secure an appointment in
Kansas. A clergyman in that State re-
ceived the following subscriptions, which
are certainly liberal, if not altogether
available: One mule, guaranteed value.
one hundred dollars; one sewing machine,
twenty-five dollars; five hogs, fifty dollars;
one hundred apple-trees, fifteen dollars;
one hundred photographs of churches,
twenty-five dollars; one hog, ten dollars;
one calf, five dollars; SIX acres of wheat.
sixty dollars; twenty five bushels of oats,
four dollars; one young mule twenty dol
lars; one carload of coal, twenty lone
dollars.
The advantages of the Kansas system are
that the salary is not only certain to be
paid, but there is variety in it. No weari-
some monotony fritters away the pastors
life. When he is weary with his studies,
and his PASTORAL duties are all fulfilled,
he can light out and divert his overbur-
dened mind with the pleasures of trade.
He is at liberty to engage in business pur-
SUITS which his less favored brethren who
get nothing but cash are not permitted to
do; he can engage in commercial transac-
tions, and gain experience in commercial
exchanges. He can even revive the pleas
ure Of boyhood days, and proceed to
"swap" to his hearts content.
The real, genuine enjoyment that would
be his in attempting to trade off mule at
a good bargain is simply inconceivable. 1t
would be equaled only by the exuberance
of spirit that would flow from q sanguine
effort to convert Zone hundred photographs
of churches" valued at twenty five dollars,
(the photographs, not the churches,) into
commercial value. The carload of coal
would, perhaps, be of on altogether too
utilitarian character to administer to his
aesthetic nature, but he could unquestiona-
bly, derive an immense fund of amusement
in driving around his parish in the char
acter of sewing-machine agent, or, failing
in that, he could fall back on the calf
with the most hopeful anticipations of
fresh veal or cash, rsserving the ungar-
nered wheat and oats as q substitute for
those athletic sports which delight the
muscular clergyman of merry England.

around the County Commissioners Office
and insisted that the award should
be made to the Times, although
its bid was twenty per cent. higher and
its circulation several hundred per cent
lower. The award was promptly made
to the STAR without a dissenting vote
Not content with this, at the next meet
ing of the Board Times man was ON
hand to threatenly urge reconsidera-
ton. He neither got the reconsideration
of the vote nor any encouragement to be-
lieve that Mr.. Hopper could be induced
to introduce into county affairs the kind
of management that has impoverished
the city in the interest of the rings to
which the Times belongs. Its assault on
Mr.. Hopper is an admission that it does
believe Zumstein to be just that kind of
person. The course of the Times, if fully
made public, will be worth thousand
votes to Mr.. Hopper. AS the meagre
circulation of the Times would not be
able to give the fact enough publicity to
help very much, we feel that we are dis
charging duty to the voters in letting
them know that the Times crowd is
waging a bitter warfare against Mr.. Hop
per, and that it is therefore the duty Of
all men who want to see the affairs of the
county honestly administered to vote
for him, and do their utmost against
Zumstein, who is put in the light of be-
ing the candidate of the men whose
principal business it is to concoct schemes
for getting hold of the public money.

THE IsOLERO.

Their bolero dances are simple, natural,
and xpressive-expressiv of youtbfulness
and health, and the exuberance of gayety
which goes with youthfuiness and health,
and the reaction coming from rest after
labor. That they are not always, or even
often, graceful admit, for we (miserahle
fault-seeking critics that we all are who
write or read books have come to set up
far too high standard of gracefulness of
motion, getting it in theatres and where
there are trained dancers, and these poor
people are hard-working peasants, their
muscles cramped with labor, their backs
bowed with the carrying of burdens.
Hard field work and good dancing are quite
incompatible things. With the dance goes
the song. Though there is kind of sing
ing in parts of Portugal which has an un-
doubted Roman origin, the melancholy,
long-drawn, often unrhymed chanting
which is to be heard in the fields, and
which often takes the form of a rude hexa-
meter, the singing at feasts and pleasure
gatherings is not of this kind. Each dis
trict has songs peculiar to itself, as it has
costumes, and manners and legends, more
orless peculiar, SO slow and difficult was
locomotion till recent times, and SO rare
the traffic and exchange of ideas in Portu-
gal in its long enduring condition of road
lessness. The national songs and airs of
Portugal will stand comparison with those
of any country, and have 80 much charm
i'll their originality, their variety, and their
sweetness, that it is marvel to me that
they are not as well known as those of
Spain and Italy. How much the origin of
such songs, and indeed of modern passion
verse generally, in its lyric form, is de-
rived from Arab sources, is now an old
and, more or less, settled question. !
need not dwell upon it. Every good
singer at rural festival will have in his
repertory several of such songs as these /
have mentioned; but, if he is to become a
performer of any local repute, he must be
something more than singer with good
ear and memory. He must be an ex-
tempore song-maker, and it is for this de-
partment of song, quite distinct from
Italian improvisation, that claim an un-
doubted Saracen origin. The irregular
quatrain in use by the Portuguese improvi-
satore, the curious unfamiliar accompani-
ment, monotonous but not unmelUdious,
the style of the sentiments, ranging from
passionate emotion to a gay and rather
downright humor the frequent reference
to natural objects SO rare in the popular
Verse of other Europ an countries, SO COM
mon in the poetry of Semitic races, and
above all the constant use of fgurative
speech, and certain extravaganza in i'm

SYMPTOMS OF DYSPEPSIA.

One of the most unerring indications OF
dyspepsia is the peculiar sensitiveness OF
those afflicted with the disease to q discus.
sion of the subject. If sour stomach,
heartburn, water-brash, foul breath, bad
taste in the mouth, etc., that these are all
the effects of dyspepsia, they Indignantly
deny the accusation as regards their in
dividual cases, aad assure you in the most
solemn manner that their stomachs are
capable of digesting every kind of food,
and nothing they eat disagrees with them.
They are willing to admit that they fire.
quently get bilious and their livers be-
come torpid and out of order, but the idea
of their digestive apparatus being inn
paired, or deranged, is perfectly prepos-
ferrous.
Now, the fact is, we never get bilious
until we eat more than is necessary to sup
ply the natural waste of our bodies, and
more than our stomachs are capable of di-
gesting and converting into healthy flesh
and blood. Biliousness is the result of in
digestion, and no one is ever bilious that
is not dyspeptic. Dyspepsia and bilious
ness are synonymous terms, and both are
caused by over-eating, or by improper and
irregular eating. The digestive organs,
like all the other organs of the body,
need, and must have, rest; and when they
are taxed beyond their powers of endur-
ance, they become enfeebled and incapable
of performing their functions.
Regularity in eating, and abstinence
from food sufficient length of time, be-
tween meals, to enable the stomach to rest
and recuperate will, in most cases, restore
impaired digestion. But men and women
generally grow very hog-headed on the
subject of diet when their stomachs be-
come demoralized, and stubbornly insist
on eating, at all hours of the day or night,
whatever their perverted and abnormal ap-
petites crave, until they become hopelessly
incurable dyspeptics. Regulate the diet
to suit the changes of climate and the
changes in habits of life, and the capacity
for human labor, either mental or physical,
is almost illimitable. Under proper con-
ditions, death from overwork," as the
polite phrase reads, is simply an absurdity.
People do not die of hard work or hard
study, but because they disregard the laws
of health by overtaxing their mental and
physical faculties when they are oppressed
and enervated by efforts to get rid of an
excess of improper and indigestible food
crammed into absurd stomachs.
The generally entertained notion that if
the stomach or any internal organ is op-
pressed, pain will be felt in the organ it.
self, is altogether fallacious. Many of the
worst dyspeptics never feel any uneasiness
about their stomachs. Pain is invariably
felt in the weakest and most sensitive Or
gan, and many an aching head, palpitating
heart and oppressed brain, is the effect of
small slice of cake or few Jumps su-
gar, or piece of pie, or some other in
digested and indigestible stuff that is fer
menting i'll stomach too much calloused
by abuse to give direct evidence of
the poisonous intruder it wishes to eject.

FOSSIL FOOTPRINTS.

In the bed of the stream, just above the
village of Bellona, says correspondent of
the Rochester, New York Democrat, is
rock about fifty feet square, uncovered at
low water. 1t is entirely covered with
footprints, deep into the rock, of men and
birds and extinct animals. They are as
clearly defined as the footprints of the
children who had played on the damp
bank the morning visited the glen. Some
of these human footprints are very small
and delicate; others are large-shockingly
large, yet retain their symmetry. The
dstinctness of these tracks and their rela
tive position preclude any doubt of their
character even to an unscientifc observer.
Iplaced my feet i'll some of these tracks,
and of course felt the usual awe incident to
treading in the footprints of this lost
tribe and all that sort of thing, but the
emotion uppermost in my mind was one of
indignation. l remembered the thrilling
descriptions by Indian historians and ro-
mancers of the fine art of following the
trail of the savage. In common with most
American youth l had admired the detec-
tive skill of Leather Stocking and those
other experts. You know how these fel-
lows used to crouch down and follow the
trail by examining every leaf? Well, you
can imagine my feelings of resentment at
the deception practiced by these historians
as followed that deep trail over the rocks
in the Bellona glen. Why, here are foot
prints in these rocks deep enough and dis
tinct enough to have existed since the
food, and to still exist for decades and
centuries, and large enough to envelop
q Bullymore ham! If that is the kind of
trail the untutored savage left, who can
blame him for taking to the water to hide
it2 1t almost shames the track of the
mastodon, not ten feet away. I was par
ticularly interested in one set of footprints
especially large and distinct. I obtained
some plaster and stereotyped that foot,
and it rests on my table as write, verit-
able monument of departed greatness. l
found tracks of some animal in this rock
which measure nearly thirty inches in
length-I mean distinctive tracks, several
times repeated, with such exactness of out
line as to identify the species to which the
animal belonged These rocks are fa-

WALKER Ii. Brown is a candidate for
Congress in the Ninth District of Iowa.
He is said to possess legislative qualities
of the highest order. They were devel-
oped when he was acting as member of
the Board of Supervisors of Emmet
County. The Board consisted of three
members, and he was made the Chair
man. At certain meeting Brown pre-
Sented a measure to the Board for action
to which the other two members were op-
posed. Brown called one of the other
two to the chair while he discussed the
measure. While on the floor he called
for a vote on the question, which, of
course, the Temporary Chairman not
voting, resulted in a tie. Chairman
Brown then proposed to resume the chair,
and then announced that as there seemed
to be tie vote, the law required the
Chair to decide it by his vote, which he
gave for the measure and declared it car
ried. Such precious morsel of legisla-
tive wisdom should not be lost to our Ma
tional Councils When we catch states
man he should be kept as sacred as
white elephant.

WHEN the Times crowd makes one of
its howls against a candidate this may be
taken as a notification to the world that
the candidate is man of honesty and
good business capacity-one who knows
enough to see the right and has the hon
esty and firmness to do it, in spite of any
amount of bulldozing. That is just the
kind Of man Mr. Hopper, candidate for
reelection to the position of County
Commissioner, has shown himself to be.
Hence the howl. The public might as
well understand just what the grievance
Of the Times crowd is and there will be
no difficulty in understanding the bill
lousy condition of yesterdays paper.
The Times had bid for publishing the
delinquent tax list and so had the STAR
and all the other city papers. When the
STAR bid was found to be the lowest all
the papers retired from the contest, ex-
.cept the Times. Two or three of the
representatives of that concern hung

ONE moment you may be tripping
lightly over a Chicago sidewalk, gazing
cheerfully into shop windows, and the
next you may be foundering in a cellar.
Last Sunday a gaping crowd of specta-
tors stood watching a procession, when
the sidewalk for long distance gave
way and fell about ten feet, carrying
with it scrambling, kicking mass of
humanity. The good people seemed to
be familiar with such occurrences, for they
clambered out again and ran away after
the procession like so many delighted
children.

THE attack made by an intoxicated in
dividual upon the wooden Indian sign of
a cigar store in New York would be un-
important were it not typical of the re-
suits of Indian fights in general. This
man knocked the wooden image down,
and after an unsuccessful attempt to
scalp it, was finally arrested and sent to
the Penitentiary for month.
