Breathing Gymnastics.

The importance of breathing plentfully of
fresh air as an essential of health is generally
admitted. Well ventilated rooms, open-sir ex-
ercise and excursions into the country are
appreciated to some extent by all classes. But
the art OF breathing is very much overlooked.
Being process not depending on the will for
its exercise 1t is too much left to the mere call
of nature. 1t is, however, an act which can be
influenced very materially by the will. Prop.
erly trained singers are taught to attend very
carefully TO their breathing. When brisk mus
cuIar exercise is taken, breathing is naturally
active without any special effort. But when
the body is at rest or engaged in occupation
requiring a confined posture, and especially
when the mind is absorbed in thought, the
breathing naturally becomes diminished aud
the action of the lungs slow aud feeble. Asa
remedy for this, it has been suggested that
there is room for what might be fitly termed
breathing gymnastics-to draw in long and foil
breaths, filling the lungs full at every inspira-
tioD, and emptying them as completely as possi-
BILE at every expiration and to acquire the habit
OF fuil breathing at times This mode of
roaming has a direct effect in SUPPLYING the
largest possible amount Of oxygen 60 the
blood and mora thoroughly consuming the car
Don and so producing tmal heAt It has also
the very important effect of expanding the
chest and so contributing to the vigor OF the
system. The breath should be inhaled by the
nostrlls as we'll as by the mouth, more ss.

The Fight in the HOnse.

I The fight in the House has ended in a Re-
publican repulse, and the contest for the
preservation of the ballot-box remains to
be fought out in the Senate. The amend
ments to the legislative appropriation bill
will of course be rejected as they should
be by that body, and the calling of an extra
session will thus be necessitated. The re-
sponsibility for the extra session, it should be
borne in mind, is wholly upon theDemocrats.
The Republicans have been ready and eager
10 vote the appropriation, but they object
to an amendment mischievous in itself and
utterly foreign to the bill-an amend
ment which SO good Democratic authori-
ty as Senator Bayard condemns as revolu-
tionary in its tendency. There is no possible
reason, which will bear discussion. why a
bill providing means for carrying on the leg
islative department should have attached to
it provision removing the supervision of
Federal elections from the control of Federal
a measure 80 unjust and reckless become
law.
As Mr.. Hale forcibiy stated it the question
is whether the laws for the protection of the
ballot shall be swept from the statute. book.
If so then the heresy of Calhoun is made the
creed of the country. There will no longer
be any protection against the election of a
House of Representatives by the fraudulent
voting of the slums of New York and Cincin-
natl and other cities unfortunately under the
control of the lowest and worst elements of
the Democratic party. Mr.. Hazleton did not
express the issue too strongly when he de-
clared that the proposition is to destroy the
muniments of the -ballot-box, and he spoke
but the sentiment of the loyal and indignant
North when he inquired, "Who asks for
the repeal Of these laws? Not voice from
the sentiment that has stood by the govern
ment since 1866 has asked for it. Does the
demand come from Louisiana, whose regular
diet for the last ten years has been fraud,
intimidation and blood? Does it come from
Mississippi, whose escutcheon is blackened
by the murder of Chisholm, of that boy aud
of that young girl, whose memory will out
last the memory Of that Roman mother
whose name she bore?"
The Republican minority in the House has
the loyal majority of the country behind it on
this question, and its duty, a duty it clearly
recognizes, is to stand firm.

Governm cnt Surveys.

The legislative, executive and judicial bill,
which has passed the House and is now pend
ing in the Senate, provides for the consolida-
tion of the several surveys heretofore carried
on by different organizations, establishes a
bureau of surveys, and bureau of geology
under the Interior Department and makes
the present coast survey organization the nu-
cleus of the former bureau by transferring 1t
from the Treasury and the Interior Depart
ments and assigning to it all surveys of
mensuration and geographical position.
The want of unity of plan arisin gfrom the
separate growth of the different organ iza-
tions known as the Hayden, the Powell, and
the Wheeler surveys has proved source Of
great perplexity to Congress and at the last
session the National Academy of Sciences
was asked for advice in the premises. The
report of this body was to the effect that all
government surveys should be consolidated,
including those of the public lands, under a
bureau of the Interior Department. The
advice Of the Academy was accepted by the
House committee on appropriations, but as
their proposition implied the abolition of the
offices of the sixteen surveyors general and
their stats it was in that respect defeated in
the House by the Western men. Notwith-
standing this the bill has gone to the Senate
with the support of such leading Republicans
as Messrs. Hale, Garfield, Cox of Ohio and
Others, with very healthy provision for
consolidation which can be resisted only by
personal interests, and it is to be hoped on
grounds of public policy that by asserting to
the House proposition the Senate will put
an end to all controversies and evolve order
outo confusion.

Matrimonial BLIGHT.

Sometimes, when the blighted being puts
forth its marriage as the cause of its melan-
choly, no one knows why il should. The run
of things as the world sees them is smooth
enough; why, then, should that wretched wo-
man 60 about like the concentration Of despair?
Her husband is really very rice fellow, and
whatever flaws he may have, his dement's were
all known before marriage. Why, then, act
aud look as if they were things which have
grown since, and which were not in the bargain
when it was made? And again, why should
that disagreeable little pecularity-this un-
pleasant little characteristc-spoil the rest of
his good qualities, and make her life wretched
because he is not perfect all through? The
same may be said of men who make, at times,
SO much account of this or that unpleasant
trait in their wives. though cOunteIbalsnced by
such sterling excelencies. Men, however, sci.
dom let themselves be so utterly crushed by an
unhappy marriage as do the weaker, less ener-
getic abd, we must add, less reasonable sex If
their home is uncomfortable they keep out of
it as much as they can; and when in it do the
best possible to minimise the misfortune con.
tanned in the shrew or the satterp Women,
poor souls, cannot do this SO much So far fate
and custom are hardest on the weaker sorl
bat. for all that, even an unhappy marriage has
it's ameliorstions in duty and occupation of
which wise women take advantage, and
bghted beings do not. One can understand
that marriage should contain blight even
when one does not understand how or why.
There are mysteries of uucongeniality which do
not come to the surface, but which are quite
sufficient TO destroy all happiness; and social
woman married to a recluse, shy one to a
snowy bosster, an honorable soul to a dishon-
oiable, generous to mean, and so on, may
account Tor blight, if even then you think lit.
tie philosophy the better.

The Issue In the City,

The argus makes the city campaign this
year on the question of "retrenchment and
REFORM" Tbs Republicans gladly accept
that issue. With the record of Republican
administrations they are glad to 60 before
the intelligent voters of this city, and submit
the question whether or not their steward.
ship has been worthy. They cannot but
wonder at the fatuity of the Democrats in
making this issue while the wise manage
ment of the city debt, the judiclous manner
in which our great railroad liabilities have
been met, the discreet reduction OF the salary
list, the close economy displayed in munich
pal administration, the prompt discontinue
ance of expenses which have ceased to be
beneficial, and the admirable manner in
which the city has been generally governed,
are fresh in the minds of all citizens. Our
opponents have chosen to attack our mostly
strongly fortified and best defended position,
and we confidently await the issue of the
assault. While we admire their course we
wonder at their foolhardiness.
1t is intimated by the wiser Democrats that
the argus has made mistake in raising the
cry of ''retrenchment and reform;'' for they
say, the people will prefer to entrust the
further execution of whatever reforms and
retrenchments may be needed to those who
have already accomplished SO much rather
than to new and untried hands. The ques-
tion in regard to the policy of the argus in
raising the issue it can settle with its sup
porteIs. But that the issue raised is the only
real ono must be conceded. The object of
the election is to secure the best attainable
government tor the city of Portland. The
Republicans certainly are very glad to have
the question fought out on its merits, and
pointing with pleasure to the manner in
which they have discharged the duties in
trusted to them ask unhesitatingly for vote
of confidence.
