SLEEp.-A physical says the cry
Tor rost has always been louder than
the cry for food. Not that it is moro
important, but it is often harder to
obtain. The best rest comes from
slcep. OF two men or women, oth~
erwise equal, the ono who. sleeps the
best will be tho most moral, healthy
and efficient. Sleep will do much to
cure Iritability of temper, .peevish-
ness, uneasinoss.. 1t will restore to
vigor an overworked brain. 1t will
build up and make strong weak
body. 1t will cure headache. 1t
will euro a broken spirit. It will
cure sorrow. Indeed, we might mako
long list Of nervous and other ma
ladies that sloop will cure. Tho euro
OF sleepIessnoss require clean, good
bod, sufficient exercise to produce
weariness, pleasant occupation, good
air, and not too warm room; o clear
conscience, and avoidance of stimu-
lants and narcotics. For those who
arc ovorworked, haggard, nervous,
who pass sIoepless nights, We COM
mond tho adoption of such habits, as
shall secure sloop; otherwise life will
be short, and what thore is of it sadly
imperfect. -.

The Florida Disclosures"


A Washington letter says: The
statement of Dennis that Governor
Noyes, of Ohio, knew of every move
ment made in FLORIDA is undou btedly-
correct. When the nomination of
Governor Noyes for minister to
France was before the Senate, it was
stated in executive session that by
all the rules or honesty and proprie-
ty he Should be rejected, Oh account
of the gross criminality of his pro-
ceedings in Florida. 1t was stated
to-day by gentleman of the Nigh-
est character, WHO was in Florida
during the whole time of tho canvass
of the vote, that Governor Noyes
came there openly as tho personal
friend of Mr.. Hayes; that it was he
wing was mainly instrumental in
etiffening mp the backbone of the Re
publican canvassers through his pro.
posed promise of what Mr.. Hayes
would do when he became President
and that it would be proved that Mr..
Hayes WAS cognizant of cvcryth ing
that took place. When the investi-
CATION commences the President will
be requested to recall Mr.. Noyes
from France, so that he can testify.
Yhe whole drift Of opinion still
seems to run to the idea that no mat
ter what else may come out of it, the
thing will not result in unseating
Hayes. A distinguished South hern
Senator said to night that 10 him it
looks as if itwas a great opportunity
forthe Democratic party to strength~
en- itself for the future, but that this
could only be dono through the m ost
able and discreet management. A
Confederate brigadier, a member Of
the House, said he "did not care
how much fraud could be proved
he was in favor of letting Hayes
alone, aS he had a great deal more
respect and admiration for a man
who would steal the presidency than
for q man who was such q coward
and a sneak as to allow it to be stolen
from him" 1t is appearant that a
good deal Of the opposition among
Democratic congressman to extreme
measures against Mr.. Hayes is
prompted by personal antipathy to
Mr.. Tllden and an nnwilipgness that
be should be benefited. That there
will be an investi CATION seems certain
or almost so, but the probability is
that if ordered it will be directed to
the purpose of making capital for the
Democratic party rather than to the
displacement of Mr.. Hayes. 1t Ger
tainly affords rich field for legiti-
mate political capital. The follow
ing letter shows the appreciation in
which Dennis was held by Mr.. Hay.
es just one year ago:
EXECUTIVE MANSION;
WASHINGTON, April 6, 1877.
DEAR SIR: am reliably assured
that l.. @. Dennis, of Florida, would
make a capital special agent of the
treasury. Lespecially desire that
bis claims may have your fayorable

a United Democracy How to Achieve
It.

We must have, and will have a
united Democracy, and the only
hope of ding so, is to approach the
campaign with a square honest de-
sign, do nothing for self, but every
thing for the State, rs the embodi~
ment Of our social we'll being. We
know this is impossible, for some
mcr, because they hid aud believe,
that all men are ac'uatcd BY solfsh
motives in whatever they do, and it
ia too lac and wasto Of time to
argue this point with them. From
their very natu' cs, they accept this,
}erlaps from their earliest training,
they have been taught j, as the true
philosophy Of ljfo.
1t would be scarcely charitable
then to endeavor to lace such as
these men on any other platform, for
they cannot apprchcnd it even. Bat
there are many, very many, men
who do not so hold, and who do not
SO act: They recognize certain fel
lowship amongst men, in which their
fellow men are an alter ego having
eolemn claims upon them, and 80 far
recognises society as a Godsgiven
element of human life, as dear to us
as the most treasured objects OF per-
sonal desire, and az essential to our
wcll,being as the air we breathe.
Hence, such as these take an ab,
solnte pleasure in serving society and
regard it as one of the choicest pri-
vileges of their lives to be able to do
30 No State, no government, no
people can exist without this feeling,
and the deeper it is felt, and the
more earnestly it is cherished, the
higher rises that society or people
wherein it is maintained as q car
dinal principle.
There Is certain amount OF dis
location which arises out Of periods
OF conflict, especially internecine
strife, which demoralizes and de-
grades all classes of men on both
sides of the conflict. This is pain
fully true in our day. We are no
better than other people who have
lived under like circumstances. Men
80 situated lose confidence in each
other, and learn to look to selfish or.
ganizations for the qualification OF
selfish purposes Little knots of so
cial conspirators are formed in the
very bosom of society, and are con-
tinnally plotting against each other;
othat the people at large have no
Eest, and society is kept on the tenter
hooks from day to day---not knowing
what the day and ,hour may bring
, fourth. This, call it what you may,
is anarchy, and there can be neither
liberty or peace.so long as these orr
ganizatioDs 60 unwhipped ofjustico.
If these organizations prove too
strong for the people, all liberty is
at an end, and thothroes of despair,
diemay and discord are soon followed
by the quick breath, and anxious
glance of tho dying sufferer. An.

these are some of the footprints of
material progress of the present gem

will he unaffected by these changes t?
If you do, let me call your attention
to the fact that this same generation
has seen the abolition of slavery on
a grand scale, the ascendancy of Re
publican America, the opening of
China and Japan, the institution of
worlds Fairs, the spread of the in
sarance system, and the agitation for

march is steadily on, with accelerat-

From ali parts of the country re-
ports come of the immense sales and
increasing demand for that desery-
ingly popular Sewing Machine, The
Old and Reliable STANDARD" the
price of which the prOprietors wisely
reduced tO $50, including all the at
tachmentS, and at once secured for
them popularity among the peO-
pie, far beyond that ever vet attain
ell by any other machine at any
price, the consequence of which is,
agents are leaving the old high priced
machines, and seeking territory for
the "SrANDARD." Knowing from
experience that with the best goods
at the lowest price they can outsell
all other Machines, where the supe-
iOr quality and low price is made
known. This splendid Machine
combines all the improvements. Is
far ahead of all others in beauty and
durability of its work. ease of man
agement, light running and certainty
Of operation, is sensibly made upon
sound principles, with positive work
ing parts all steel, and can be safely
put down as the very perfection OF a
Servceable Sewing Machine, in
every particular. that will outlast
any Machine, and at price far down
below any other. 1t is thoroughly
warranted for five years. Kept in
order free of charge. And sent to any
part of the Country for examination
by the customer before payment Of
the bill We can predict equally as
large demand for them in this
section as in others. Families desir-
ing the best Machine manufactured
should write direct TO the Factory.
And euterprising persons wishing to
seize the chance should apply for so
desirable an agency. See advertise

In states where lotteries are pro-
nounced illegal it has come about
that this species of gambling is con-
fined, as far as its public practice is
concerned, almost exclusively to
church fairs. Vermont now proposes
to give no greater privileges to re-
ligiOus than to secular ventures Of
this kind, and a bill has been intro
duced in the legislature forblding
even "rafIling" and recourse to the
familiar grab b-bag. 1t is to be re-
gretted that these thinly.disguised
lotteries could not have been uni
versaIly discontinued through the
force Of a healthy public sentiment
ON the subject without he necessity
of prohibitive legislation.

had just returned from cave in
Canada. Being asked if he had any

Piled that under no circumstances

In answer to assurances that Ala
hama was free from all political dis
turbances, he said that while he sup
posed such was the case, nevertheless
the belief had become so general in
Europe that the Southern States We're
in an unsettled condition, and that
the rights of person and property,
especially of those not natives, were
| so constantly disregardcd as to rem
der it impossible to induce capitalists
to trust either their money or the
representatives of their interests in
any part Of the South. He further
observes that lately this feeling haC
increased among foreign capitalists
owing to the lpnient and cOnserya
tive course puasued towards The
South by President Hayes. The in
reference of the general governmen
in Southern affairs, he remarked
had in the past excited much sympa
thy in Europe for that section, bu
the opinion now was that under tn
present administration, no eXcus
existed for the laWIessness that wa

ThAbill for the reorganizationEof
the armysFagreed upon by the mill
tary commission, is very sweeping
measure. 1t abolishes the offices of
genersl and Northumberland upon
the deaths of Sherman. and Sheridan, !
and provides for but two major gen.
erals and six brigadiers. AT the
general staff it makes fell swoop,
reducing its numbers By l5S officers.
In the line it strikes at 165 officers,
of whom 1876 are taken from the in

grades, from major general down to
second lieutenant, whom it affects

feature-What is called a "reYerSe
list"-tO which they may be sent for
three years, a proportion of pay be-
ing assigned to them bearing a re-
lation to their years of previous
service. We are inclined to look at
this section of the bill as designed to
induce many officers to tender their
designations, for few young men en-
doWed with the excellent education
they have obtained at the West
Point Academy would probably elect
to waste the best portion of life in
idleness and on the pittance of
military upernumerary. But the
reductions which the commission
proposes do not stop at the line and
staff. The cavalry regiments are to

man, whose business kept him from

Last week Young, who has been at.

eyes that his frequent visits to Mrs.
Cole were of a criminal character.
His guilty conscience could stand the
pl eSaure no longer, and he poured
out his troubled story into the will
ling ears of sympathetic deacons and
divines. Mrs. Cole, who was a mem
ber of the congregation, was inter
viewed by the clergyman, and at
first Indignantly denied Young's
statement, tut finally admitted that
she had been intimate with him, and
prayed to be forgiven and again re-
