TAKE A TOUR-REST YOURSELF

TAKE A TOUR-REST YOURSELF.
Because we, individually, are tied down
to the tread-mill of duty, with no expecta-
ton OF season of relaxation, we are not of
those who hold that we should do nothing
but "make hay while the sun shines
While the thermometer ranges as now,
above the COS, the man who has enough
hay to answer ordinay needs, should lay
aside his scythe and pitch fork, and recre-
ate until the sun shines less fiercely.
An individual of philosophic turn, as
sumes that man MUST have rest and amuse-
ment. His manhood degenerates into
condition of selfish boorishness without
them. To confne the mind and body I'M
ceasingly to the business groove, is to blunt
the intellect and impair the vigor and tone
Of the body Rest for both is essential,
and to argue yourself into the notion that
the sleeping hours give that rest, is to con-
vince yourself of lie. A week or months
rest and recreation in mid summer, when
the mind has become sluggish and the phys
ical energies impaired, is, in the economy
of nature, time saved. In discoursing upon
this subject, Royal Purcell states
well known fact when he says that after
q season of recreation the mind resumes its
accustomed channels of thought, with in
creased vigor-with a strength and tone
that divests the burdens of life Of half their
weight; that smoothes the rough places,
and straightens out paths that were former
ly most perplexingly crooked. Besides
rest, the mind needs amusement. Rest
gives mental vigor and sharpens the powers
Of penetration. "The hour spent in social
talk with friends is not thrown away; it not
only makes one agreeable to his associates
but it also benefits him individually. 1t is
q rest that all should take, and the physical
and mental constitution Of man demands it
Frequently you meet man who is like an

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
WASHINGTON, Apli! IA, 1879.

WASHINGTON, Apli! IA, 1879.
In the Senate to-day Messrs.
EYithers, Wallace and Blaine will
commence the discussion of the
Army bill, or amendments to 1t
proposed in the Senate. There will
without doubt be prolonged discus
sion, perhaps lasting for two weeks,
AS all the lawyers OF the Senate like
Thurman, Hill, Voorhees,, Eaton,
E,lmunds, ETC., and such pOlitici ans
as Blame. Logan, Chandler. and the
like, will have something to say. In
the House the Legislative bill, with
its talr jury and free election Prov
sions will he UP. There is no doubt
of the ultimate passage OF the two
bills, almost exactly as favored by
the Democracy and two thirds OF
the voters of the country. Then
the alleged President will have
chance 10 go back by veto on the
professions he has made for the last
| halt dozen years. Then the people
will take the question up, and an
much mistaken if they do not settle
it i'm way to bring repentance to
those who profess to think that
prescription, the bayOnet, the spy.
and arbitrary arrest are necessary
parts OF our Government machinery
in time of peace. The truth is that
an enormous majority of the people
are with the Democracy in this fight
and that the majority is sure to ill.,
crease.
MIR. Randall receives little but
cOmmendatiun for his course in
making up the House committees.
A few object tn the consideration
shown Mr. Ladd and other Green
hackers, bat all know that behind
the Gr.enback Representatives, is
a constituency vastly larger than
that of other RepI esentatives. In
the case OF Mr.. Ladd, who was given
what was equivalent to two chair
inanships, the Speaker, who is a
good Judge of men, was doubtless
aware that the favored gentlemen
would do credit to any committee
to which he might be assigned.
1t seems that the Radicals are
willing 10 be guilty of any meanness
in order 10 carry they points. To
day, which Is the first ''bill day" Of
the session the House having here
t0fOre adjourned over FROM Friday
or Saturday till Tuesday, IA large
number of members are anxious tn
present bills, bat the Radicals who
wish to prevent "geueral legisla-
ton" will attempt to consume ii e
time by introducing and demand
ing the reading of some very long
bill, Ike the Army reorganization
bill, which will consume the whole
day. No doubt Speaker Randall
will temper with common sense and
fairness in his construction of the
rules, and see that justice 10 done.
