IN THE NATTER OF DIET.

PAoSon1 is Il very unhealthy season
OF the yearsand that people must
exercise great; cane in gard to tlleir
diet. She says they can not eat
everything u at I4I
And Mrs. n. is quite correct.
People can'teat everything and keep
well and hearty.
1t is unhealthy, for Instance, for a
person to eat stove-wrenches, either
boiled, fried, or on the half shell,
for it would probably give him the
"shakes" immediately.
Shoe brushes in ali forms should
be avoided as steady diet. They
are very apt to give one the black
tongue.
Bee bread should be partaken of
very sparinSly. as an attack Of hives
is almost sure to follow an iIdul-
gence Of this kind.
tPolishing-bricks, especially, must
be avoided, either mashed or whole,
for they generally bring on an AZ
tack of scours.
Sands Of all kinds, either sea sand,
ordinary sand, or the sands of time,
are particularly lnlrtfuls inIwarm
weather, as gravel almost always
follows q meal Of this kind.
Dish clothes, either chopped fine
or fried III batter, are unhealthy,
and almost sure to result IN sour
stomach.
Lamp-wichs. used as relish, es-
recially when eaten with oil, in
duce heartburn or light head.
Memorandum books, with or
without covers, when partaken of
too heartily, often cause severe
and distressing attack OF diary.
Needles and pins, especially when
eaten hurrie,lly and without suti-
Client masticatlon, are conducive of
prickly heat. ',
Saw-horses should not be par
taken of late in the evening, unless
one wishes to be visited by night
mare.
Green "trash," such as grass,
leaves, burdocks, Paris green, etc,
is apt to give one the blues. a,t
Stvyepipe, either Russian or
American, being tubular, is likely
tu,make person hollow with pain,
if eaten freely. A man who ate
only one denied joint at a dinner
recently, said it did not SCOT him.
He evidently felt the tormeuts Of
the damned.
Saws of all kinds, especially hand
saws, should be avoided. They are
sure death to wooden men.
Greenbacks, when eaten too free
ly, ,re apt to make Il person biti-
Gus. Nitrate of silver relieves
stomach that is gorged with green
backs.
Iron in the blood is quite essen
tial, but that is no reason why pad
locks shouid be bolted down lnuis-
criminat-ly.
= Many more hints might be given
in regard to eating In warm wea-
timer, but enough have already been
cited to enable blind man TO see
that Mrs. Nicklepinch is right in
her assertion. In conclusion. it
may be said that plain diet (either
hand OF machine pianed) is better
for the summ.r board OF al man
kind Rome Snifaa.' !.

THE STATE GOVERNMENT,
Are the Fusionists Preparing to
Steal TIP
Signs that Some Sort eff Scheme is Be-
ing Concocted.
rsnecial despatch to the Press


AUGUSTA. Oct. 30.-Considerable talk has
been made in this vicinity the last lew days
about the Governor and Councils gong be-
hind the returns of the recent state election
and of Counting OUT a sufficient number OF
the members elect of the Senate and House to
give the opposition to the Republicans ma
ioritv in both branches. But little credence
has been given to this report By thoughtful
men until within a day or two when certain
loose charges have been circulated in the
newspapers concerning bribery and corruption
which seem to be paving the way for some
fresh Democratic outrages.
The Governor and Council have been IN SEES
sion for few days past but no one can ascertain
if the returns were opened. This duty is reqnlf-
ed by law to be7performed in open session. Inc
Governor and Council are required to issue
certificates to the members who appear to De
elected, and if bribery or fraud has been prac-
ticed in the election it is not their province TO
investigate
The Council meet again the 18th of Novem-
Der and should there be an attempt to over
throw the result of election as indicated, the
Republicans will be fully prepared to assert
their legal rights Should the Governor and
| Council take the course which is now darkly
and lnysteriously limited at, The Supreme Court
| will have something to say on the subject
Nothing definite can be learned but it is report
ed that an attempt will be made to count out
the Republican Senators from York, Cumoer-
land, Lincoln and Franklin counties and
enough of the members Of the House to give
the Democrats and Greenbackers majority
