lasting remembrance Sir, say it is
employment that makes the people hap

be forgotten; it ought to be placed upon

ought to be placed in every farmers
magazine and mechanics magazine. 1t
should be proclaimed everywhere, not
withstanding what we hear of the use

of cheap food-notwithstanding that the

A ShreMd Widow.

The widow of Normandy peasant
has exhibited u more than ordinary
share of woman's with the duty which
her husbands demise imposed upon her
of executing his will. His property
consisted OF good horse and a worth
less cur, and he directed that they
should be sold, the proceeds of the sale
of the horse to be divided among his
other relatives, while the widows por-
ton was to be the sum which the dog
would fetch. This discrepancy in the
value of the two animals was naturally
not little CALLING 10 the lady, but after
turning affairs over in her own mind she
discovered means by which she could
fulfill her late husbands S behests without
suffering pecuniary loss to herself. She
announced for sale horse for the sum
five francs and dog for five hundred.
Those who wished to buy the horse
were informed that they must also take
the dog; and when Mt length purchaser
for the pair was found, the widow
handed over five francs, to be divided
| among the dead mans family, keeping
for herself the five hundred, as the sum
(which the dog had fetched"

In the Matter Of Diet.

Old Mrs. Nicklepinch says the
present is very unhealthy season of
year, and that people must exercise
great care in regard to their diet. She
says they cannot eat everything.
And Mrs. N, is quite correct; people
cannot eat everything and keep well and
hearty.
1t is very unhealthy, for instance, for
a person to eat stove- wrenches. either
boiled, fried or on the half shell, for it
would probably give him the "shakes'
Immediately.
Shoe brushes in all forms should be
avoided as a steady diet. They are very
apt to give one the black tongue.
Bee bread should be partaken of very
sparingly, as an attack of hives is al
most sure to follow an indulgence of this
kind. .
Polishing bricks, especially, should be
avoided, either mashed or whole, for
they generally bring on an attack of
| scours. 'a-
Sands of all kinds, either sea sand, or
binary sand or the,sands oftime, are par
ticularly hurtful in warm weather, MS
gravel almost always follows a meal OF
this kind.
Dish cloths, either chopped fine or fried
in batter, are unhealthy, and almost sure
to result in sour stomach.
Lamp wicking used as relish, es-
pecially when eaten with oil, induces
| heartburn or light head.
Memorandum books. with or without
covers, when partaken OF too heartily
often cause a severe and distressing at
tack ofdiary.
Needles and pins, especially wher
eaten hurriedly and without sutficien
.mastication, are conducive OF prlcklI
heat.
Saw -horses should not be partaken o
late in the evening unless one wishes t.
be visited by night mare.
Green "trash," such as grass, leaves
bm docks, Paris green, etc., is apt to Civ
one the blues.
Stovepipe, either Russian OF Ameri
can, being tubular, is likely to make
person hollow with pain, if eaten freely

Nitrate of silver relieves stomac

Iron in the blood is quite essentia
but that is no reason why paddock
should be bolted indiscriminately.

terson voted with the Democrats in the mega
tive. The deficiency appropriation bill was
then taken under consideration. The vice.
president laid before the Senate, by request,
telegram from the California constitutional
convention, transmitting the resolutions OF
that body thanking Congress for the triumph
ant passage of the bill restricting the immi-
grafton of Chinese to the United States, and
declaring that the Senators and members who
supported the bill will receive the lasting
gratitude of the people Of California. Mr..
Hoar, of Massachusetts, objected to the re-
ception of the paper under the fourteenth
rule, it not being properly authenticated, and
under that rule the telegram could not be
received. The vice-president decided the
point of order well taken. Sergeant said the
rejection Of this telegram simply punctuated
its contents A lively debate ensued by
unanimous consent, until, finally, Mr.. Kirk

ceeded with the regular morning business.

field, for statement made by Garfield last
week that enough men had been sent to the
penitentiary from Cincinnati for election
frauds, to take away the majority of one of
the members from that city (meaning Ban
ning.) Banning denounced the statement as
an Infamous falsehood, and accused his COL
league of violation of the ninth command
ment against bearing false witness. Garfield
said he had not referred to his colleague by
name, and that all he knew of the matter was
from current history. The House went into
committee of the whole on the legislative
appropriation bill, and discussed for an hour
the amendment offered, by Southland, of
Ohio, to repeal the election laws. Speeches
were made by Hale, of Maine, against, and
by Southland for the amendment, each taking
the position that his side Of the House would
never yield on the point. 1t turned out, how.
ever, that Hale could not get the undivided
support Of his own side of the House in his
tactics to defeat the amendment by refraining
from voting, and thus preventing the appear
ance Of quorum. Three of the Republi-
cans did vote, and these votes, with that of
the Speaker, constituted quorum, and so the
amendment was carried amid great demon.
strations of triumph on the Democratic side.
The bill was reported to the House and there,

similar circumstances. The amendment re-

A CALIFORNIA THREAT OF SEcEss1oN.-
The San Francisco Daily Stock Report, the
oldest financial newspaper on the Pacific
coast, in urging that monster mass.meeting
be held in San Francisco, to demand of Pres
ident Hayes that he sign the Chinese bill,
says: "Already such dread possibility as Sc.
cession from the Union. in the event of our
failure to obtain the relief we demand from
the Chinese evil, is broadly talked of in high
circles. The East has utterly failed to under
stand our situation, and to extend the aid and
sympathy we have right to expect from the
sisterhood of States. Leading men say that
we have pleaded, have exhausted arguments,
have cried aloud for relief, but our most earn.
est appeals have been treated with indignity,
and our sufferings have been a mock. AS a
last resort we will take advantage of the geog-
raphical lines that surround us, the vast ex-
tent of soil within our boundaries, the mex.
haustless resources of wealth that are ours,
and will set up an Occidental Republic, which,
if it cannot rival the old Republic in its glory
of the past, will at least be magnificent En-
pire Of white freemen, whose heritage shall be
preserved to their children and their chill
dren's children forever" .. ,e..ar,.@
