SLEEP AS A MED1c1NE.-A physician says
the cry for rest has always been louder than
the cry for food. Not that it is more i'm
portant, but it is often harder to obtain.
The best rest comes from sound sleep. OF
the two men or women otherwise equal, the
one who sleeps the better will be the. more
healthy and efficient. Sleep will do much
to cure irritability Of temper, peevishness
and uneasiness. 1t will restore vigor to an
overworked brain. 1t will build up and
make strong weak body. It will cure a
headache, IT will cure q broken spirit. It
will cure sorrow. Indeed we must make a
long list of nervous and other malladies that
sleep will cure. The cure of sleeplessness
requires clean. good bed, sufficient exer-
else to promote WEAKNESS, pleasant occupa-
tion, good air, and not too warm room a
clean conscience and an avoidance of stimu-
lents and narcotics. For those who are
oyerworked, haggard, nervous, who, pass
sleepless nights, we commend the adoption
of such habits as will secure sleep.

Where is the Stupidity.

Vivid pictures are often drawn of the
stupidity of children, and especially of the
ignorance which they display of the mean
ings of common English words. But such
pictures are more vivid than true. A child
may understand the meaning of word per-
fectly without being able to find a synonym
for it. To give a definition of the COM
monest word off-hand, is not always easy.
An inspector expressed his surprise that no
child could tell him the meaning of the
word boat, and, upon being asked him
self to define it, said =
why, a boat is IA boat, you know.
Everybody knows what a boat isl
The story is too good, perhaps, to be
true but it points moral nevertheless.

THE VOTE SELLER.

1.-THE man who will barter his vote
for coin is greater enemy to his country
than the burglar or robber, because his
act extends beyond the breaking open
Of safe or the murder of an individual.
He, in his own dishonor, dishonors all
his countrymen and taints the most
precious gift ever offered to mankind. !"
That is what the Virginia Enterprise
says of vote sellers. That is undoubt-
cdly the honest opinion of it's editor,
yet during the time the corporations
were purchasing the votes of legislators,
the Enterprise had not one word to say
in condemnation of the practice. The
Enterprise is conceded to be the leading
newspaper representative of the party
which controlled legislation at Carson
last winter. Yet during the time the
members were being bought to vote
against every bill which the platform
on which they were elected pledged
them to sustain, the Enterprise did not
reprove them for betraying their con-
stituents, or denounce them as greater
enemies to their country ethan bur-
glars or robbers" though word from
it, as the leading organ of the majority,
might have steadied the wavering, and
prevented the wholesale selling of votes
and breaking of pledges, for which the
late Legislature of Nevada acquired in
famous notoriety throughout the Union.
That the Enterprise, by maintaining
studied silence at the time when it
should have warned the unsophisticated
to beware of the wiles of the tempter,
and hurled its anathemas at those who
knowingly sold their votes and their
constituents, is indirectly responsible
for the acts of the Legislature, is con-
coded by all intelligent readers of that
journal in this part of the State.

The Enterprise publishes the opinion
of the Supreme Court in the case of H.
h. Beck ct al against the Board of
Commissioners of Washoe county. The
case was brought before the Court ON a
writ of certiorari to compel the pay
fihent of 1878 for transcribing evidence
III the Rover case for the Governors
office. The opinion is by Hawley, JUS
tees Beatty and Leonard concurring.
The Court finds from the return of the
writ that after the filing of the petition
for the writ the Board of Commission
ers ordered that the claim of 1878 ''be
cancelled of record by the Auditor, and
that the Auditor, in pursuance of said
order, Cancelled said claim, and the only
question for the Court to- consider is
one of costs. 1t appearing from the re-
turn to the writ that it was not the in
tention of the Board of Commissioners
to have the claim paid, but that the
claim was audited that it might properly
be presented to Humboldt county, and
in case it was not paid by Humboldt
that no warrant should be issued on
the Treasurer of Washoe county. Upon
this showing the respondents, the
Board of Commissioners, claimed that
the costs of the proceedings should not
be taxed against them. The Court
holds, however, that there was nothing
in the public records to show the inten-
tion of the officers in allowing and
auditing the claim, and it not appear
ing from the records before the Court
that the REALTORS, H. H. Beck ct al,
had any knowledge of the officers inten-
tions. Under these circum stances, the
Court ordered the writ dismissed and
the costs Of the proceedings taxed
against the Commissioners.

- The Vicksburg papers report that
the negro exodus has ceased. This was
to be expected, says the New York Tri-
June. The season for active work on the
cotton crop has now begun on the Lower
Mississippi, and the blacks who have re-
sisted thus far the impulse to join the
emigration movement will stay until the
next crop is harvested. After they have
once commenced ploughing and planting
they naturally stick to the fields where
they have already invested some days or
weeks of labor. By next spring the
plaintive voice of the shivering and
starved colored man in Kansas will pene-
trate the everglades and cane brakes OF
the South, and there will be no more
"exodus." Senator WINDOWS Emigra-
tion Society will go into liquidation.
Capt. Eads says that there are now
81 feet of water the entire length of his
Mississippi jetties. He has strengthened
the sea end of his jetties by concrete
Gaping, which stands two and half
feet above average high tide. The cap
ping is made in 70 ton blocks of cement,
sand, gravel and broken stone, which are
mixed in molds, and left till they harden.
They are then placed on the willow mat
tresscs which form the jetties, and pro-
tected on the seaward side by stone and
gravel, driving all the water down the
channel, and forming wall that will be
permanent
