LabOrCr and Mechanic.

The student, the seamstress, and
all others who lead a scdentary or
closely confined lie, always need
some mild preparation which will
relieve them Of coEstipatcd habit
and torpid liver and at the same
time desire something that will not
dctarn them from any business avo-
cation one that is pleasant to take
and economical. Such an article is
" Bailey's Saline Aperient," which
Is sold at 80 cents for large bottles,
is Just like glass of soda water, Is
far superior to grlping, nauseating
pills, and never fails to give entire
satisfaction. One dose frequently
cures sick headache. For the ladies
II has no equal, and every bottle
warranted strictly pure. Physicians
everywhere prescribe it. Sold by
druggists generally. As general
Aperient for the bowels lis action
is highly satisfactory, relieving acid
stomach, heartburn and nausea al
most instaotiy.

African Explorations.

The extraordinary interest taken
IN African travel and explorations,
by the entire reading world, is phe-
nomcnal. That quarter of the
globe has not only been the thcater
of some of the grandest achieve
ments and adventures in the annals
OF human travel, but has been the
subject OF an infinitUde OF books.
But the people do not tire of read
ing Of this wonderful continent, and
hence the supply Of literature is
adequate TO the want. The latest
contribution to historic literature
on this subject, is the new book by
Hon. J. 7. Headly, giving in graph
ic and thrilling detal, the achieve
ments of Henry NJ. Stanly-the
greatest, most successful and daring
explorer of this or any other time.
Mr.. Headley's experience, scholar
ship and literary ability well fit him
for this task, and Stanley is FORUM
ate IN having the story Of his deeds
told by so skilliul hand. Mr..
Headloy will be remembered as the
author OF those fascinating works
of nearly a generation ago: "Na-
poleon aud his Marshalls and
" Washington and his Generals"
They created marked sensation
at the time, and have since held
their place IN literature as standards
OF entertaining biography and de-
scrlptivc writing. They are guar
antees of the value and great inter
est of the new work, which will a.
so be rendered doubly interesting
aud salablc by nearly 100 full page
illustrations representing African
scenes and adventures. The peo-
pie will welcome the work to their
libraries.

Resumption or Labor.

PHILOSOPHY teaches MS that no
material substance is ever annlhila-
ted. 1t is also said that mind con
trolls matter, and it ought to have
been said that hbor controls mind and
matter. Suppose Il poor man has n
large family (and they generally do)
depending upon his daily labor,
should be stricken down with chilIs
and fever, dumb aguc, or something
of the kind. He resorts to quinine,
but the chills return, he would en-
ploy a doctor but the cost is too
great, and a few days lost time is
told by the scarce and scanty table
and the hunger Of his poor family.
Quinine sets HIM crazy, arsenic
bloats him, and gelsemimun makes
him see double. Such a man should
use nothing but Days Ague Tonic,
1t cures him sound and well at once,
the chIlls will not return, and then
his labor can be resumed.

p On da that while in ST Louis.

On dc that while in ST Louis,
on business, some OF our young
Murphy's so far forgot their pledges
as to indulge immoderately in social
conyiviaIlty. We are inclined to
doubt these rumors, well knowing
that the word Of a gentleman when
coupled with a solemn Obligation is
never violated, no matter what the
temptation, ard until we have proof
as strong AS holy writ, we shall
credit these reports to the emlssa.

On the War Path,

Two reports of gun in quick
succession, on the streets last Tues.
day evening about dark, was the
cause of much anxious solicitudc
among our usually quiet and peace
iul citizens and citizenesses. The
cry OF "whats up p or, dis any one
hurt = was on every tongue. and
for Il while excitement ran riot.
Careful inquiry disclosed the fact
that one Capt. William A., who had
during the rising and setting of the
great orb of day, held sundry and
divers grand pow vows with the
chiefs of the anti-Murphys, and alb
sorbed too much &c blue ruin" led
him to imagine himself a fall grown
C"manche warrior, and mistak ing
Osceola, with its dim lights, in the
early twi light, for a Piute camp,
mounted his Mustang and with tae
yell peculiar TO that tribe made a
dash in vain attempt to capture the
entire camp. After the first shock,
a rallying signal was sounded by
chief Hasklns; scouts were dispatch
ed to scour the plains and learn the
whereabouts of the foe. After q
painful suspense Of halt an hour,
during which women and children
huddled together in groups for mn
tual protection, two of the scouts
returned, bearing upon their shoul-
ders the noble chief in triumphant
victory. He was brought before
the chief of the tribe, counsel was
held, the pipe Ofpeace was whitfield,
and the brave warrior being inform
ed that he was making war on de-
fenccless women and children, shed
tears of repentance, and pledged his
tomahawk for his return on the
morrow with the piIce OF bis ran
som, aud departed in peace.

The Lodge of the Ancient Order
of United Workingmen in Vancouver
is prospecting, and gradually extend
ing its membership.
The objects of the Order, very
briefly stated, are: To give equal
protection to labor, mental and physi-
cal; to improve the moral, intellectual
and social condition of its members;
to create fund for the benefit ot it's
members, during sickness or other
disability, and in case of death to pay
stipulated sum of two thousand dol
lars to such person or persons as may
be designated by each member, thus
enabling him to guarantee his family
against want. This is maintained by
assessments of one dollar each in the
proportion Of one to every two thous
and, and is sacredly kept for that pur-
pose alone.
The order now numbers sixty three
thousand, there having been an addi-
ton of twenty seven thousand men,
bers during the past year. New
York leads the van with member
ship of 10000. The Grand Jurisdic-
ton of Oregon and Washington Ter
ritory numbers upwards of 400 MEM
bers and is rapidly increasing. 1t is
confidently expected the entire men,
bership will number 100000 by the
time of the next meeting Of the SUI
preme lodge in March, 1880.
There has been an idea among the
uninitated that the Order is in
some way connected with the politi-
cal organization known as the work
ingmen's party, or what is termed the
Kearney movement in California.
This idea is an entirely mistaken one,
as the Order has nothing in its work
ings that in any way partakes party
politics nor ofdenominational religion.
| 1t requires of an applicant for men,
bership that he shall be over twenty
one and under fifty years of age;
that he shall be in sound bodily health
and competent to earn livelihood
for himself and family; shall be of
good moral character, and shall be-
lieve in Supreme Being, the Creator
and Preserver of the Universe.

SUFFICIENTLY INDICATED. The Bendire
court martial at Vancouver has ended in air.
Col. OTIS who came here from the Depart
ment of Dakota with his witnesses, at big
expense to our Government. has seen fit to
settle amicably what he at one time con-
sidered an objectionable insult We most
cordially congratulate our old friend Capt.
Bendire but were always perfectly satisfied
that he would come out on top in this trial,
as he does in almost every undertaking. A
paper says that the court martial has made
its findings, which will be unknown until
officially promulgated from Washington.
This is calculated to convey a false idea.
Col. Otis was fortunate in having the inves-
tigation close where it did, thereby saw
ing thousands of dollars to the Government,
