tingaished by the term 'dyspeptic class.
The rapid increase in mercantile activity IN
this country, associated with our national
restlessness, has caused a swift decline IN the
health and longevity of the race, and these
accelerated by our, almost, universal disregard
to the laws of eating. In this respect, many
merchants take better care of their horses
than they do of themselves, The three power
lul adjuncts necessary to the health OF busl-
ness man are, food, exercise and sleep. Abuse
of either Of these factors is followed by mos
serious results. With regard TO eating, our
business men seem TO think that 4 man $
stomach partakes of the character Of the
chickens gizzard. But it is not so man 5
gizzard is situated i'll his mouth. The stomach,
that sensitive organ, rebels against tie ur-
masticated masses which are chucked into
it. At first it labors patiently to perform its
overwork, but at last succumbs and dyspepsia
follows.
Business men are continually complaining Of
what they call "biliousness." They find their
tongue frequently coated with a thick,
brownish fur; feeling of lasstude and oc-
casioudl pains in the chest. These, however,
are but the symptoms of that fearful disease,
dyspepsia, and the remedy lies not much
with the doctor as with themselves. Learn
to live. eat, work and sleep like rational
beings, and SO enjoy lie without abusing it

ALTHOUGH the University received
no aid from the Territory by legis
lative appropriation. it is quite evil
dent that its usefulness will not be
impaired by the streak of economy
which prompted the Assembly to
plug the spigot while they allowed q
stream to flow from the bung-hole.
1t appears that Mr.. Willard, wrote
a letter to President Anderson last
October, expressing bis willingness
to extend pecuniary aid to the insti.
tuition, provided the Legislature
failed to do its duty. Publicity is
now given to the letter, and the
closing paragraph requesting its re.
cipient to keep the matter a secret

ostentatious gift, but merited do.

WHILE the Legislature was exceed.
ingly economical" in making O
contract for printing a pamphlet
containing the more important laws,
involving few hundred dollars ex.
pense, it had no such scruples when
it hired its clerks. The sum of 500
was paid for ten days services Of
one Enrolling clerk, and all the other
Enrolling and Engrossing Clerks re
ceived $35 per week, during the
whole session, which was double
what the work might have been con.
tracted for from competent scribes.
This is not the only instance in
which the Assembly has made an un-
just discrimination in the price OF
labor, as will be fully shown before
the matter is allowed to pass into
oblivion.

PATCHED Up.-Tbe showing the
STANDARD made of the illegal action
of Governor Newell in appointing
his daughter to Territorial office,
and tho no less illegal act OF the
upper-house Solons in confirming
the appointment, has resulted in
herculeau labors the past week to
patch up the law so as to permit the
Governor Tor his daughter rather)
to draw the salary. The plan
adopted was to amend the law
creating the office, while renacting
it in the code, but the House voted
down the proposition, although
majority of its members favor the
enfranchisement Of women. The
Council then amended the bill so as
to make women eligible, and the
House again voted on the PROPOSE
ton and refused to concur. A
committee of conference was then
appointed who refused to consider
the subject. as it had twice been
acted upon in the House. This was
regarded as final, but on the last
day of the session, when seven men,
bers were absent the measure was
sprung and carried by the friends of
the amendment, more,'it is said, to
relieve the Governor from embarress-
ment than from sense of right or
propriety. The Council then re-
confirmed the appointment, a clear
acknowledgment of the illegality of
its former action. SO the admission
has been clearly made that the ap-
pointment was in violation of law.
If the Executive knew it to be so, he
did very, very improper thing; if
he did not possess this knowledge,
it indicates that he is very incom-
petent officer. Either horn of the
dilemma is presented for him to
accept.
