What to Eat.

In lecture before workingman's
lvceum DIR. Seguln 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 con-
diments. This food, when digested, is
taken 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. Triple is
the easiest and pork the hardest to di-
gest. Among vegetables, rice and boil
ed cabbage are the extremes. Any
thing that is fried in fat is extremely in
dieestible. Milk contains the five in
gradients referred to above, and 80 is
really "all-sufiicient." Mothers make
a great mistake in trying to induce in.
fants under two years Of age to eat
s,archy food, for there is no alkaline
fluid in the stomach Of AZ infant by
which the starch can be changed 10 SUI
gar, and SO infused into the system. 1t
has been estimated that a man working
in the open air daily needs ID ounces
of meat, Is Of bread, 81 of butter or fat,
and 81 OF water. | agree with many
eminent chemists who have proved that
alcoholic drinks are an aid to the system
in retarding the waste Of tissues. So,
too, for the same reason, | regard tea
and coffee as nouriehing. An excess Of
starchv food is to be carefully avoided.
Men who handle lead ought to abstain
from alcohol, for, if too much is taken,
the kidneys, which throw off the poison
of the lead, are likely to become dis
eased.

Driving Gentle from His IIOme-- Dead
Men Tell no Tales.
salt Lake Tribune.

Another Mormon outrage is reported
from Cache Valley, Idaho Territory. A
short distance above Franklin there was
living an old man named James
Dwigglngs and his wife. When this
old couple were married, Mrs. d.,
then Mrs. Sharp, was a widow with a
grown-up family Of sons and daughters,
who objected to her marrying again.
But the chief opposition came from her
son, Joe Sharp, who is fanatlcal Nor
mon. who swore that his mother should
never live with "that---old apostate
Dwiggins." Notwithstanding this
threat, the old couple lived happily
together, and prospered. They got
around them nice herd of cattle, n
good farm, and comfortable home.
Last August Mrs. Dwiggins, although
nearly 60 Years old herself, got word
from her sister in Tooele county that
their father, a man 81 years old, was
about to die, and requested the pres
ence of all his children. Mrs, Dwlgglns
left her hone on the 9Th of August, and
went to Tooele county, with the I'M
derstanding that she should remain
there until her fathers death, which
might be several weeks. About the
lst Of September her son, Joe Sharp,
went to Dwiggins' house and severely
maltreated him. After beating him,
Joe tore the clothes from the old mans
person, and was in the act Of stabbing
him when Mrs. JEFF Sharp, a sister-in-law,
threw herself between the irate Joe and
the old man, thus saving the latter's
life. Joe then went for the ak with
which to finish the Job, but the old man

A Grave Doubt About the Pension Bill

There is one point IN the pension ar
rcars bill which it is thought probable
will be referred by the interior depart
ment for construction to the department
of justice The new law says arrear-
ages of pensions shall be paid at the
rate for which the soldiers were origin
ally pensioned. As congress has Changed
the rates several times, and the latest
applicants originally received the largest
pensions, the man who gets pensioned
now gets a heavy sum in arrearages.
The totally disabled man originally got
eight dollars per month; now he gets
seventy-two dollars. The question is,
then. in the case Of a totally disabled
new pensioner, whether he be paid ar
rearages at the rate of seventv-two or
eight dollars per month. The commits
sioner will ask congress at once for an
appropriation to carry out the law and
that it be made Immediately available.
Additional evidence needed in cases of
those now receiving pensions will be
very slight The commissioner will
ask small increase Of clerks, and that
the pension agencies be re-districted
without additional force.

Royalty and Loyalty in Canada.

Writing of this subject III the Mid
winter Sc,ibnT, Dr.! Holland says:
We have no wish tor change in the
American form of government. The
RISKS would be too many, even were a
change IN any way desirable; but one
does not need to be very acute of vision
to see that the peculiar form of Loyalty
which gathers around the queen and
royal family of England is the grand
buIwark of the national stability. In
deed, the queen and her family hardly
exist to-day for anything more or better
IMAM to SIT or serve as the objects Of the
nations loyalty. The sovereign of Eng
land Is person who, IN these days. ex-
ercises very little authority, for the Eng
hsh nation Is about as truly and thor
oughly self-governed as our own. In
deed, England is one Of the freest coun-
ules of the world and, in some re-
spects, her governing powers are more
directly and lmm edlately responsible
10 the people than our own. She GER
taln!y has this one advantage, to which
IN this article we call special attention,
W.; that for long years she has had in
me supreme place woman, who has
represented the nation and been the re-
clWent of Its affectlonate LOYALTY, and
not half dozen men who, for limited
periods OF time, have represented a
party. Through all administrations

stood unchanged the person of the Brit
ga queen, as the incarnation Of the ma

tional institutions, laws, authority and


life.
So we are delighted with the express
sions of LOYALTY which have attended
the reception of the new Canadian gov
ernor and his wife. Canada is a friend
ly neightor, with whom it is for the in
terest Of the United States to cultivate
the most cordial relations. She wants
nothing ofus politically, and we want
nothing of her; and it is gratifying to
learn-what this reception seems to
have proved-that Canada is content
with the very mild foreign rule under
winch she lives; nay, that she has
sense of pride in being brought closer
to the heart of the empire by the pres.
ence within her borders of royal blood.
This reception promises we'll for order
and peace and unity, on which our
neighbor is to be heartily congratulated.
She is to be congratulated on the acqui-
sitlon of a capable and worthy gentle
man to stand at the head of her affairs,
and a woman for her social leading and
political inspiration who represents in
her blood the person around whom
cluster the loyal affections of great
and remarkable people.

A CENTRAL AMERICAN RAILROAD.
The Line Which is Building ACROSS the
Republic of Guatemala.
San Francisco Chronicle, Jan. "a.

The ship Reunion, now lying at Mis-
sion street wharf, has been chartered bv
the Guatemala Central Railroad COM
pany to carry cargo of railroad sup
plies to the port of San Jose lie Guate-
mala, to be used in the construction of
the road extending from the latter port
to the city of Escuintla, Guatemala,
twenty-eight miles from the sea. The
cargo will consist of about |, 800 tons of
railroad ties, a large quantity of iron
plating and castings for building pur-
poses, coal, rice, construction nipple
ments, and last, but not least, about one
hundred Chlnamen, who will be put to
work at once on the line of the road.
Seven miles of the road-bed are already
prepared for the rails, and they are on
their way from New York via Panama,
and will be received in San Jose about
the time the Reunion reaches there.
This enterprise, the successful inaugu-
ration of which has been quietly ac-
complished, cannot fail to ultimately
result in great benefit to San Francisco.
The present objective point of the COM
pany is Escuintla, to which city they
have a franchise from the government
OF Guatemala for ninety-nine years, and
during the first twenty-five years there
of, after the opening of the line, are
guaranteed net profit Of II per cent.
per anaum on $l,O0O,000, and loan of
S21S 900 toward construction 1t is the
intention of the company to eventually
push the construction of the line to the
city of Guatemala, almost sixty miles
inland, as similar concessions have
been promised them by the agents of
the government. The ground from the
sea of to Esculntla has uniform grade
OF about forty feet to the mile, and is
sandy loan, with light vegetation, and
it is stated that gravel for ballasting is
conveniently near. The city of Escu-
lntla Is the great centre of the coffee
trade of Guatemala, and, when once fa-
cilities are given for moving it, the pro-
duction will be q eatly increased. The
present annual exports from the coffee
section consist of about six thousand
tons Of coffee, three hundred tons of
cochineal, three hundred tons of hides,
three hundred tons of rubber, cocoa,
etc, three hundred tons of timber and
native manufactures. The company
are now putting up an IRON warehouse
and custom-house at San Jose. The
present iron piers, which extend out
nearly three hundred feet, will be filled
up by the company, and then extended
farther out until a depth of twenty ia
thoms is reached, where the ground
swell will be avoided, and ships can lie
safely and comfortably. By far the
most important of the future prospects
of this road, however, is its extention to
the Atlantic side, distance little
more than two hundred miles, where it
reaches the magnificent harbor of
Sante Thomas, the finest port between
New York and Rio Janeiro. The Qua
temala route has no serious topograph-
ical difficulties to overcome, and is two
thousand miles shorter than the route
via the Isthmus of Panama.

If there is man in the whole round
world who has an idea that fine corn
cannot be produced in Bradford
county, we want to say to that man
that he is sadly, nay, wofully mis-
taken We have now on exhibition
in our museum or collection of "Brad-
ford County Productions" a speci-
men of corn produced on the farm of
Mr.. r. M. Alvarez, which will COM
pare with the best corn raised any
where else in the world. The ears
average full ten inches in length and
are SLED out to the tip of the cob
with grain. Twelve ears of this corn
weigh ten and half pounds, and was
produced on land which has been in
cultivation for the past twenty years,
and is a fair average OF the entire
crop. Mr.. Alvarez, is a systematic
and thoroughbred tiller of the soil,
and if Bradford county had few
hundred more such farmers the real
and true value of her superior soil
would soon become known the wide
world over.-zslegraph.

The Cat in the Meal.

II any one will take the pains to
Examine critically the McCulloch
Debt Bill it will be seen that, while it
processes to make the 3 per cent term
of the new bonds ten years, it does
nothing Of the kind. IF the associa,-
tions should come up to the terms, it
will require about three years to COM
plete the funding. or course these
men can buy up a large share of these
bonds and hold them to the last, SO
as to get s per cent coupons from
them and then fund them and get !,
per cent for the remaining 7 years.
So that on such bond we shall have
only a 7 year term at 8 per cent
But this is not all. 1t is provided
that whenever they fail to fund 8
millions during 1879, or S millions
for any succeeding s months the Gov.
may make a ike contract with any
other parties to fund the debt, mark
you, such failure does not forfeit their
contract to 60 ahead with funding
They only lose the extAusye right to
fund. These men even by their fail
ure cannot be deprived Of their con-
tract to fund. The Governor can on
ly let some one else attempt it along
with them. And this "some one
else" could very easily turn out to be
some one in league with McCulloch.
So that McCulloch, by his own fail
ure, could get unlimited extension OF
his time to draw his 6 per cent. inter
cat by his old coupons from his old
bonds. lie could draw his 6 per
cent. interest for the entire ten years
at least and then fund at 4 per cent.
In other words he can profit by his
own defaul,--by his own wrong. To
the extent that he should play this
little game-and he can play it for
the whole debt Of 80 milIlons--we
would have this compromise pervert.
cd into a settlement of our entire
debt for ten years at 8 per cent. and
20 at 4, and 10 at S.
