The New England Sunday is certainly
one of the most distinctive characteristics
of the community, as compared with
Europe or some parts ofour own country,
and one which, We believe, should be sed.
ulously preserved. Public excursions of
holiday character, composed as they must
be for many years largely of persons of
the less scrupulous class, will not be on
ducive to public morals and sobriety.
Whatever in ~novations may be intro
duced upon the Puritan Sabbath should
be of a naturekto make home more attrac-
tive, to render the churches more a~ccessi-
BILE, or to open resorts to the public of q
character entirely harmless and with a
tendency to elevate the popular tastes.
The Sunday paper is q home attraction,
and serves to detain, to interest and ele-
vate many whs would not or could not
attend church. The public library
should complement the Sunday paper by
adding the widest opportunity of reading.
The horse railroad is a matter of local
convenience to church-goers. Beyond
vel defined limits of public convenience
and benefit, the New England Sunday
should be preserved as a day of cessation
from labor and from public excitement.

The Products of Indigestion.

Inability of the stomach to act upon the food
is productive of serious and speedy mischief
to the entire bodily economy. The circulation
languishes and grows poor; leanness, pallor,
and q loss Of muscular and organic power
associated with and dependent upon digestion,
such rs evacuation and the secretion OF bile,
grow irregular, and the organs whose business
1t is to discharge those functions become badly
disordered. This disastrous state OF things is
more readily and thoroughly rectiied with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters than any known
medicinal agent. The stomach being invigo-
rated, the life-giving principles of the blood
are increased, the systems properly nourished,
leanness and debility overcome, and the bowels
and liver thoroughly and promptly regulated.

A MACHINE, invented in 1861 by W.
Ell. Wash, millwright, for the manu-
facture of gun caps, has been unearthed
at Danville, Va. The machine first in
vented by Wash had capacity of
10000 caps in ten hours. He sold it to
the Government for $4,000, returned
to Lynchburg, made another, which had
a capacity Of $4,000 per day (ten hours),
aud sold it for $4,000. He subsequent
" manufactured another with capaci-
ty Of 10000 caps per hour. When Rich
mond was evacuated his last machine
was put on heavy wagon and carried

Senator Edmunds interviewed.

Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, ar
rived at New York from Europe a few
days ago, and was interviewed by a
reporter. When questioned concerning
the results of the election in the several
States, and especially in New York,
Judge Edmunds said: "It is no more
than expected. I regard the issue as
eminently satisfactory. It secures the
election of any good Republican candi-
date for President next year" How
about Gen. Grant," was asked. "Gen.
Grant is very strong man." replied
the Senator, deliberately, and with deep
meaning" very strong man. He has
always been strong man. He is man
of very great modesty, but he is man
of grip-of very great grip. He would
be very strong candidate, but con-
slider that any good Republican who
should be chosen as candidate would
be elected, whether Grant, Secretary
Sherman, Washburne, Blaine, or Conk-
ling. Any one of these who should get
nominated by the Republicans for Pres
ident would be elected. You know" he
said, we vote for Republicans, and not
men. Success is assured. That is my
view of the election; only, of course,
there must be work. Every man who
expects to get living must not be lazy,
and so of great political parties. Those
who would win must not relax their
efforts"

One OF our printers, returning home
the other evening after a hard days
work, concluded he would have quiet
smoke, and proceeded to incase his
feet IN pair of slippers. He slipped
off his shoes and put one foot in, but
that foot hadn't been in the slipper but
half second when it was jerked out
with such force as to knock the table
over and demolish five chairs; at the
same time he let out howl of anguish
of such intensity that several gentlemen
rushed in, expecting to find some one
in the clutches of foul murderer, but
instead found the printer dancing one
of Strauss select waltzes on one foot,
while his arms were going round like a
windmill. They advanced on him to
investigate the phenomenon, when a
wasp took one of the gentlemen behind
the ear, completely routed the relief
committee, and settled the question
then and there. There was whole
family of wasps in that slipper, fortified
for winter.-C lar ksU5lle (Te1a4a.J To-

A CORRESPONDENT of the San Fran

and temperatures of California, says
that in the interior valleys he has found
the thermometer as high as ia degrees
in the shade, and at least 125 degrees
in the sun, yet the air was SO pure and
dry that he did not fnd it enervating
nor even very inconvenient, as much
lower temperature east of the Rocky
mountains certainly would have been.
He rode twenty-five miles on horse
back in that sun of 125 degrees, OBJ
serving, questioning, and making notes
for his newspaper, and felt perfectly
well through it all. A constant gentle
breeze, that is never wanting in summer,
kept him comparatively comfortable.

COLLISIONS at sea are frequent
enough to make the recently promul-
gated international code of rules reg
ulating the manner in which vessels
shall pass each other matter of great
interest and Importance. This new
code will not go into operation till
Sept. |, 1880, and meanwhile pilots and
Captains will have time to become IA
miliar with the provisions. The new
code gives rules for vessels passing
each other at sea, regulations to secure
the safety of steamers laying telegraph
ic cables, for steamers that have been
disabled, and for slow steamers, and
DEGREES that steamers and sailing vessels
shall go at slow speed in fogs, mists, or
snow-storms. Doubtless these sea
laws, being binding upon all nations,
will greatly simplify navigation.
