What to Eat.

In lecture before the Workingman's s
Lyceum DR.. Seguin spoke as follows OF
food: An ordinary meal is generally
composed OF five ingredients animal or
heterogeneous food, ,starchy or sweet food,
watery vegetables, beverages and condi.
ments. This food when digested, is ia.
ken into the system by blood vessels. -
For persons, and especially for working
men, in this climate, meats are the most
easily digested, and at the same time are
the most nourishing food. Tripe is the
easiest and pork the hardest to digest
Among vegetables rice and boiled cab
bage are the extremes. Anything tina,
is fried in fat is extremely indigestible
Milk contains the five ingredients refer
red to above, and so is really call suffi-
cient." Mothers make great mistake
in trying to induce infarts under two
years Of age to eat starchy food, fol
there is 20 alkaline fluid in the stomach
of an infant by which the starch can be
changed to sugar, and so infused into
the system. 1t has been estimated tha,
a man working in the open air daily
needs Is ounces of meat, lS of bread, 81
of hutter or fat, and 81 of water. l agree
with many eminent chemists who have
proved that alcoholic drinks are an aid
to the system in retarding the waste o.
tissues. So, too, for the same reason
regard tea and coffee as nourishing. Ar
excess of starchy food is to be carefully
avoided. Men who handle lead o1gh'
to abstain from alcohol, for if too much
is taken, the kidneys, which throw of
the poison of the lead, are likely to be-
come diseased.

Major RenO's Trial.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-In the Inquiry
Court Varnum testified that he thought
Reno took the best position after he left
the woods with his command, but there
we're hardly enough men 10 hold it. Re
no, however, createda diversion in the
Indian village. The Indians must have
attacked Custer about the time Reno left
the woods, but witness thought the main
fighting force Of the village was oppo.
sing Reno. He saw Custer's gray horse
company moving along the bluffs down
the river at about the time the skirmish
line was formed. 1t was three quarters
of mile away. An hour later Colonel
Benteen joined Reno over the hill, and
at about the same time witness heard
firing away down the stream, but 1t was a
crash, and did not sound like continu
Gus engagement. At that time he didn't
think it came from Custer, but thought ii
might be the Indians in the village, WheI
he saw the gray horse cavalry be thought
Custer was making detour to strike the
other end ofthe Indian village from th'
east.

FA brsnch of the Brotherhood o
Trsppist Monks has purchased real es
tate in the neighborhood of Baltimore
where monastery of the Order will be
established. They support themselves
By their industry in various branches
OF their habits we find the following in
the New York Star:
perpetual silence, except through spe
cial dispensation, is stringently ordered
by the Chapter of Ii Trappe. Men are
said to pass decades without holding q
minutes conversation on worldly topic
no matter of how edifying a nature
Their only accents are uttered in the mo
notonous salute which each monk offers
another when they meet -memento NOR,
I-"remember death!'' They never taste
meat in any form, and in using veeeta
bles take no spices of any description
They are forbidden the use Of milk, but
ter, eggs and cheese. Their food Is
served on wooden platters, aud their only
table implements are wooden spoons
Each monk has to perform the ghoulish
obligation of digging his own grave
every day as reminder Of death. He
sleeps iE his coarse white dress on pal
let but little broader than a mans body
and resting on the bare floor. Two slen
der partitions and black curtain form
his cell. After less than half the res,
accorded to the hardest Of toilers the
Trappist is summoned, prayers, chant
ing, meditation and mass preceding the
hours of manual labor. Carpenters
cabinet makers, tailors, shoe.makers
blacksmiths, representatives Of all trades
as well as practitioners OF the profes.
sions, are aS their posts"

elected U S. Senators last week, and the
result is, as was expected, that the Dem
ocrats will have majority in the Senate
after the 4th OF March.
RoscoE CoSKLIse is elected bis own
successor in New York. While OF course
we would have preferred some such
Democrat as HoRATIo SEYMOUR, we can
not regret that a man Of Mr.. CoSkLING's
ability and statesn anship should be the
choice OF his party.
Illinois has elected, in place Of Mr..
OsLEsBY, JOHN A. LOGAN, whom we re.
gard as man without integrity, without
education, and without cultiyation-a
mere vulgar demagogue.
Don CAMERON succeeds himself. The
CAMERoNs own the party which controls
:heir State, and complacently help them
selves to what they like best.
DAN VOORHEES, is elected In Indiana.
He is man Of ability, though at times
little erratic, and will be useful in sup.
pressing that wild Yahoo, LOGAN.
ZEBuLon VANCE, Democrat, is elected
in North Carolina. His party could no,
have done better in State In which
there is no great surplus Of first-class
material.

elected have their National regulations

CAPTURED CHEYENNES,
The Runaways Caught and Gagged at
Last

FIR. RoBrsos, NEE, January 22-The
Cheyenne Indian campaign has closed,
for time. at least. On Monday C. n.
Evans, with Companies B and D, Third
Cavalry found the rendezvou, in a strong
position in the cliffs, four miles north OF
the stage road, and partially succeeded
in cutting off their progress. They ef-
fected their usual escape, and moved to-
ward the Red Cloud Agency. Captain
Vessels, whose scouts conveyed the
news to him, started at once on their
trail with bis four companies OF cavalry,
and at noon to-day he came up to them
some forty.five miles from this post.
Then the work OF capturing them, either
dead or alive, began in dead earnest. In
fact, but thirty-twc, with nine of that mum
ber badly wounded, were found alive ol
the forly-nine fugilives that were in the
field, leaving seventeen killed. Captain
Vessels was slightly wounded. The
first sergeant of Company E and an 1ndi
an scout were also wounded to unknow n
extent. Three ofWessell's command, s
Sergeant. farrier and one private, were
killed This news arrived verbally by
courier Of midnight and more couriers
with details of the battle are expected
soon. Ambulances have just started
(miduight) to bring in the dead ant
wounded.
Later news from the field stated tha
only nine Chevennes, all OF them woun'
ded, we're captured. The balance o
the party, twenty three in number, were
killed. Seventeen are still unaccountef
for. 1t is supposed some died from
wounds and others escaped.

AN INSURANCE. POLICY,
And How Trip to Deadwood AZ
fects Its Value.

Prr7sBuseH, Pa, Jan 2l.--To day
she Clerk Of the United States Circuit
Court here, n. D. Gamble, Esq issued
a commission to r. A. Wetmore, Esq ,oi
the West, to take testimony at Deadwood,
Dakota Territory, in the case OF Miss
Sarah N. Timbfn against the Mutual
Life Insurance Company Of Hartford,
Conn. This is quite remarkable case.
It is an action on life insurance policy
for e5, ,000, and the defense is as follows
The insured was not to go into an un.
civilized community, and, II be did, and
met with death, or II he engaged in q
fight, having any of the characteristics
/, OF duel, the policy was to be consider.
ed void and of no effect.
The defense claim that In 1875 Tim.
blin did 60 into an unciviIized place, to
wit: Deadwood; that he there learned
that q man intended to shoot hirn /; tina,
Timblin armed himself In expectancy oil
a meeting with his antagonist; that be
tried to get the "drop" on him as soou
as he saw him by firing quickly, bat IN.
fortunately the bullet missed and the
"Deadvood man" brough. down Tim
bin, and thus maintained the reputation
Of the place.
The theory OF the defense is that Tim.
bin died by duel. Messrs johnson
& Black appeared for the plaintiff, and
w. S. Purviance for the Insurance Com.
pany. The case viii be heard at the
next term Of Court, provided the Dead
wood afldavits are returned In time.

tits rumored that the California race
mare, Mollie Mccarthy, will be sent east
in the spring, and that she will make her
second entree at the Baltimore meeting.
The New York World insists that law
makers should "exclude the testimony of
parents and children against each others
life, liberty and character" And, really
this matter is worthy Of serious atten-
ton.
In spite of the saying about "The
better the day the better the Decd" the
Indiana Courts have ruled that where a
man gives church his obligation at q
Sunday night debt-raising, payment
thereof cannot be enforced by law.
The snow blockade is no joke to the
cashiers OF railroads The New York
Central and Harlem River state that their
loss from all causes during the embargo
is about $65, 900 per day, the Erie about
$4,000 daily and Lake Shore $45,OO0.
The most remarkable feature Of the
mortality that has affected the Forty fifth
Congress is the fact that Of the nine
members that have died since it was
elected eight were Democrats, and the
popular branch has lost seven from it's
majority. There is already one vacancy
in the next Congress. by the death of the
Republican who was elected in the place
of Hon. Clarkson II. Potter.
