Over ExertiOn.

Long-continued exertion without
proper intervals of rest is followed by
a peculiar sensation of fatigue and often
by tremor or cramp. Fatigue is due,
in part, to the failure of cOntractiIe
material and an accumulation of waste
products, in the muscles. but, in the
main, to exhaustion of the nerve-centrcs
that supply stimulus to contraction.
Both tremor and cramp are probably
caused by excessive muscular irritabiIi-
ty, the former being due to short, IT,
regular explosions cf muscular force,
the latter being prolonged contraction
of the muscle.
When over-exertion is confined to a
small group of muscles, these, instead Of
becoming enlarged and strengthened
as is the case when exertion and rest
are duly interchanged, suffer chronic
exhaustion, which shows itself in a
species of paralysis-as in the palsy, or
cramp, severally peculiar to writer's,
telegraphers, type-setters, violinists,
p1anists, tailors, mixers and men of
various trades whose work is mainly
with the hammer.
1t is computed that the pen-b blade
forger, if Industrious and disposed to
do full work, delivers nearly $4,000 ac-
curate strokes day, and in ten years
over SO, 100000, each stroke involving
expenditure of nerve-force, both in the
nerves of the brain which calculate the
distance and amount of force necessary,
and the nerves of the muscles engaged
in the act.
Another result of oyer-exertion is ir-
ritability of the heart, similarly due to
exhaustion of nerve-fOrce. The heart
may become dilated, so that valves
one or more-cease fully to close the
openings, or the valves become thick
ened and incapable of ready and COM
plete action. The elastic tissue of the
great arteries leading out of the heart
may be weakened by over-distension,
and the walls may, during some strong
effort, so far give way as to form a
pouch, or even to stretch out into a
fatal aneurism. This irritability of
heart gives rise to palpitat1on, cardiac
pain and rapid pulse.
It is estimated that thirty-eight per
cent. of cases of this affection among
our soldiers during the late civil war
were due to long and rapid marches. or
to other forms of over-exertion. Pro-
fessional pedestrians are proverbially
short-llved. Observation-Disclosures, and
persons who carry gynlnastic OF athletic
exercises to excess and especially
laborers whose work is severe and who
also suffer from intemperance, foul air
and improper diet. are peculiarly liable
to heart disease. YOUTHS Companion.

AUTUMN.

(
The leaf is red-the leaf is sere-
Sere as rotten shrOud;
Gray winter gems his icy bier,
And folds his pail of cloud:
For drifting leaves and closing days
he trolls his sullen fun'ral lays.
The leaf is red-the leaf is sere-
See yOnder muff1ed train
OF dismal shadows creeping near,
Old age, and care and pain; ...
They bid me with them tell my beads
For pleasant flowers and bitter seeds.
The leaf is red-the leaf is sere-
Ay, redder than the gold
A royal splendOr crowns the year,
In pOmp he waxeth old;
He laughs and jOvial riches yields
From purple branch and yellow fields.
The leaf is red-the leaf is sere-
Think you my sun is set?
With wine, and song, and friendship here
And many blessing yet.
III live to nobly spend the store
OF boarded joys spared before.

According to Professor Grimmer,
there is terrible seven years before us.
From 1880 to 1887 there will be uni
versal mortality. Asia will be depopu-
lated and Europe will become almost
desert. America will lose fifteen million
inhabitants. There will be tempests
and foundations. No prophet could
possibly be grimmer than this one.

Celluloid Factory Explosion.

NEWARK. N. j., January ga fearful
explosion took place this morning in the
converting room of the Cellulo,d Manufac.
turing Company, by which three men were
instantly killed and two others wounded 80
that they cannot survive. The workmen
were in their accustomed places, when
from some unknown cause mass of cellu-
loid, which is highly inflaumable, suddenly
exploded, destroying the one story brick
baildng with all its contents. Wn. Fem
ter, aged Is, was killed. His body was
found in the ruins, a CHASTITY spectacle.
Under this body were the disfgL red re-
mains of Frederick Stiles, SO charred that
they were scarcely recognizable. John
Yates was also killed. Spencer Atwood
died in ten minutes from conclusion of the
brain. Elmer Bogart and Frederick Price
were fearfully burned and taken to the
hospital. Stephen Wade was severely but
not dangerously injured. The loss on the
building and contents is estimated at $40.
600. The manager of the celluloid works
says the explosion probably occurred from
gas at the machine run by Fred stiles. who
was killed. The machine was used Tor
mixing and grinding materials.

Prosecuting a Property Claim.

WASHINGTON, January 3.-Colonel Bou.
dinot. well-known Cherokee residing
here, made an argument before the Com.

he be pat in possession of hotel property
at Vinita, Indian Territory. Col. w. p.
Adair, second chief Of the Cherokee ga.
ton, with several other members of the
Cherokee, delegation and ex- Congressman
Philips, OF Kansas, opposed Boudinot's
claim. The discussion became 30 warm
that the argument was postponed for ten
days By the Commissioner. Boudinot and
Adai, however, continued the controversy
ina heated manner outside Of the Com
mssioner's room. Finally each struck at
the other with their canes and then clinch-
ed and fell to the floor. They we're then
separated by the department Waterman be-
fore serious injury was inflicted. The

THE BUTTE CHARTER CONTEST.

At the recent term of court Mr.. Charles
3. Trowbridge, of Butte, by his attorney,
Stephen DeWolf, Esq, applied for an al
Tentative writ Of prohibition against the
officers of the City of Butte, the occasion
being, We believe, that the city had levied
certain taxes and lines on the applicant.
On January I'd the Court granted the TEN
porary injunction and ordered the Mayo
Council, Police Magistrate and all Offices s
acting under them to appear at 10 a. m.
Jan. eth and show cause Why the in.
injunction shall not DO made perpetual.
In the mean time the city proose 1ings
against Trowbridge remain in stdtu quo.
The allegation m;-de is that the right of
voting guaranteed by the general election
laws of Montana was denied 10 the act
authorizing the submission of the charter
to election, that only taxpaying house
holders were permitted to vote, and that
consequently there was no legal submis-
sion Of the charter. This case, therefore,
brings up the contest over the Butte char
ter in its widest scope, and it is best that
it should be judicialIy determined and set
at rest. We think there is no doubt about
the result. II the Legislature had the
power to enact the general election law it
bad the power to enact the charter cleo
ton law and so long as it did not violate
tho Constitution or laws OF the United
States could make any restrictions it chose. :
Undoubtedly it was not intended to restrict
the franchise to the extent it has been held
the phraseology actually required, but even
that restriction was within its powers.

Christmas Gifts Worth Receiving,

CINCINNATI, Dec. 2S.-On Christmas day
Robert Mitchell, one of the foremost busi-
ness men and capitalists of Cincinnati, as
sembled his family, consisting of sons,
daughters and grandchildren, 90 in all, for
a Christmas dinner. The first course was
20 envelopes, passed around on a tray,
one envelope for each member of the com
pany. Opening these the astonished rela.
tives found gifts Of houses and lots and
money ranging from $4,000 down, aud
aggregating fully half million dollars, the
bulk Of Mr.. Mitchells estate. His two
sons and two daughters received $50, 600
each; the daughters-in-law gifts of valuable
real estate, aud the grandchildren sums of
money. IL is the most extensive ante
norton distribution of property that has
taken place Ia Cincinnati. Mr.. Mitchelps
desire was 10 keep the matter quiet, but
the peculiar manner of distribution soon
led to rumors which he has found neces.

The Utcs.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-Secretary Scburz
at q late hour tonight received telegram
from General Hatch, dated at Lake City
to-day. It reports that he has brought sew
eral Indian chiefs from the reservation 10
Lake City with him, and that they are held
by him for the purpose of preventing any
demonstration by the young men of the
tribe, and that he desires to tai Q them to
the military camp at Garland, and If deemed
advisable to send one of them back to see
whether surrender cannot still be effected.
He expresses hope that this may yet be
effected. The dispatch also refers to The
subject of rations, which does not clear up
the uncertainty in his former dispatches to
this department.
Secretary Schurz Immediately replied to
the dispatch by telegraph, requesting in
formation upon the following points ::
Whether the White River Utes offered for
surrender are still in Ouray's power, or
whether they have been released? Also
what chiefs are with General Hatch, and of
anu also "HothtE tuGIO 10
any prospect of General Hatch now getting
into his possession Chief Douglas and the
son Of Douglas, and other culprits Of i'm
portance who were in December offered for
surrender? His proposition to take the In
dams now with him to Camp Garland is
approved, aud as he expresses bope that
complete surrender may still be accomplish
ed be is requested to say what in his opinion
can be done by direction of the Washing
ton authorities to aid him. In conclusion,
Secretary Schprz telegraphs that he viii!
send to General Hatch dispatch to DO read
to the Indians at their reservation immedi-
ately after an answer TO the former inqui-
ries have been received here.

in another column Hon d. II. Weston,
Territorial Treasurer, gives notice that he
has cash in the treasury to pay warrants
Nos. 81 to $50, both inclusive. The most
significant fact stated 10 the notice is that
these warrants comprise all not heretofore
called for payment. In other words, to-
day, for the first time in our history, the
Territory Of Montana has not one outstand-
ing warrant which she is not able and ready
to pay on presentation. In tact, the Terri
torial Auditor yesterday drew bis wal rant
upon the Treasurer for over $20O, which
was paid by Mr.. Weston on presentation.
This has never before occurred in Montana
and does not often occur anywhere. 1t
means that our current receipts, over and
above the amount required by law to be
applied to our sinking fund, are in excess
o. our current expenses. The fact that
our bonds sell readily at premium and
that We have no warrant indebtedness ie-
fleets great credit upon the wise legisla-
ton concerning finances enacted by our
legislature, and upon the capable man
agement Of our Territorial affairs BY che
officers in charge thereof. - ndependent,7 th.

the better Democrats coinci,ie,i. prevailed

Ion attempted to secretly transform the State
House into military arsenal by removing
thither arms and ammunition from other
cities. Finally, Senator Morrill, wrote him
letter asking that the questions at issue
the exten. to which the Governor and
Council could legally 60 in determining
upon the returns and creating Legislators
should be submitted to the Supreme Court
OF the State for arbitration. Garcelon, de-
spite the protest Of nearly all his co con-
spirators, accepted the proposition made by
Morrill, and selected from the memoranda
the latter had furnished certain questio MS
which he submitted to tho tribunal propos-
ed. The Supreme Court, composed of men
OF both political parties, met and adjudica-
ted the case. The decision is unanimously
adverse to the Garcelon conspirators on
every point presented and they have no
ground left to stand upon. Their position
is the more unenviable in that they have al
ready issued certificates TO the persons now
declared by the highest legal authority not
entitled to seats and these certificates can.
not be recalled. Such membe can, how
ever, decline to take seats and the Legisla-
ture thus be constituted OF those duly cleo

or other wise, to be gained by the political
trickery attempted by Garcelon IL success

cision the recoll upon the Democratic party
will be tremendous. 1t is another of those
