RULES FOR RIGHT LIyINa.--1. Keep the
body clean. The countless pores of the skin
are SO many little drain-tles for the refuse of
the system. If they become clogged and SO
deadened in their action, we must expect to
become the prey of ill-health in some one of
it's countless forms. Let us not be afraid of
wet sponge and five minutes brisk exercise
with crash towel every night or morning.
2. Devote eight hours out of the twenty
four to sleep. If mother is robbed of sleep
by wakeful baby, she must take nap some
time during the day. Even ten minutes of
repose strengthens and refreshes, and does
good like a medicine Children should be
allowed to sleep until they awake Of their
own free will.
8, Mover 90 out to work In early morning
in any locality subject to damps, fogs and
masms, with an empty stomach. If there is
not time to wait for a cup of coffee, pour two
thirds of cup of boiling water on two tea
spoonfuls of cream, or beaten egg, season it
with salt and pepper and drink 1t while hot
before going out. This will stimulate and
comfort the stomach and aid the system in re-
sisting poisonous or facilitating atmosphere.
A. Avoid over-eating. To rise from the
table able to eat little more is provcrbially
good rule for every one. There is nothing
more idotic than forcing down a few mouth
fuls, becaase they happen to remain on ones
plate, after hunger is satisfied, and because
they may be "wasted" if left! 1t is the
most serious waste to over-tax the stomach
with even half an ounce more than it can
take care Of.
s. Avoid foods and drinks that plainly
disagree with the system. Vigorous out
door workers should beware of heavy indi-
gestibie sdppers. Suppers should always con-
lists of light, easily digested foods-being, in
the country, SO soon followed by sleep, and
the stomach being as much entitled as the
head to profound rest. The moral pluck and
firmness to take such food and no other foi
this last meal of the day can be easily acquir-
ed and the reward Of such virtue is sound
sleep, clear head, a strong hand, and CAPT
tai appetite for breakfast. Agrf-
culturtst for Sept. l.

"DAV1s HADN'T THE c0UR4GE.' !
FROM AN INTERVIEW WITH ROBERT TooMBs
IN THE MACON TELEGRAPH.


81 was the Secretary OF State and as such
was ehdeavoring to secure recognition by
foreign Powers and It was that sent Yancey
to Europe for that purpose. Both France
and England were ready to recognize us but
they objected to slavery. replied that slavery
should not stand in the way of our recogni-
ton. then demanded the right to Issue a
proclamation of emancipation freeing every
slave by the stroke of the pen, as it was
finally done. Davis and the Cabinet neither
course. 1t would have made the success of
our cause as certain as the sun will rise on
another day. Davis hadn't the courage. The
proclamation could have been for gradual
emancipation and then repudated, as Wash
ington did the neutrality treaty, il necessary.
We had plenty of precedents for such action.
| would have taken the responsibility, and
ought, as Secretary of State, to have been al
lowed to, but Davis wasn't dipolmat
neither was he statesman nor soldier. There
are many queer things about the Confederacy
which have never been told. These so called
histories don't touch the bone. One of these
days may conclude to write the interesting
facts. No, not !, but will leave the facts
and documents for some one TO write after |
am gone.
In 1855 had talked over this question of
the abolition of slavery with Napoleon Ill.
and with Gladstone and Palmerston. fore
saw the war then, and was preparing for it.
Both Napoleon aud the English Government
would have recognized us in moment but
for slavery, and l knew it, bnt Davis stood
in my way of meeting the objections of the
foreign Powers as expressed to me therefore
/ resigned. knew that our success depend
ed upon such recognition. When | went to
Europe after the war was more than ever
confirmed IN the wisdom of the policy would
have adopted. Yes, we had queer govern
ment. remember one day a secret agent Of
the English Government stepped up to me
and said
"NIr. Secretary, where " nj find the State
Department."
90 In my hat, sir and the archives in my
coat pocket" And that was true, too. We
were doing business on very small scale At
that time, and It naturally seemed strange to
the representatives of great Government
that we hadn't pretentious building for our
departments"
"What do you think of MIR. Davis discus
sion of the constitutional rights of the
States ?'
81 do not care anything about Mr.. Davis's
discussions. What earthly sense is there in
discussing questions that are the natural out
growth of our form of government after the
war has destroyed them? 1t is the sheerest
nonsense, and will have no effect upon any
section of the country. Mr.. Dayis's book
may be bought or read, either from desire
to do a charitable thing for the author or out
of curiosity"

NYE ON THE CoMEf. The versatile editor
of the Boomerang saw the comet the other
morning under peculiar circumstances which
he thus describes:
Yesterday morning between three and four
o'clock we were called from our bed by the
presence of sorrel COW with an inadequate
tail in the grounds of our winter palace.
She had eaten row of tube roses and some
mgnonet.e to sweeten her breath, and was
just smelling Of the statue of Eli Perkins,
which stands on the west side of our boule-
ward, when we came up behind her with a
bed Stat and smote her on the snoot.
While merrily romping with her over the
yelvety lawn, our attention was Suddenly
cal He'd to large $3.50 comet, northwest BY
nor, and about three feet above the horizon,
with its tail over the dash board.
When first seen it was in perihelion with
the dome of the court house, but while we
watched it, either the court house changed
it's position, or we did, and the space became
more clearly defined. fab
Some are of the opinion that this comet is
the one that appeared about twenty-five years
ago, but our idea is that 1t is new one and
that it has never been used.
1t is something the style of Roscoe Conle-
ling, with more subdued and pensiye air,
however, and it is making good time.
1t has nucleus that shines with nebulous
light. 1t also carries with 1t a byperbola and
paraboa, In common valise.
A well known astronomer claims that this
is comet which, according to the books,
was not due yet for / 500 years. There must
be some mistake, however, unless it lost some
thing when it was here 500 years ago and has
returned to see if it can find it. Still It's run
ming time may have been changed in order TO
stir up competition with other comets.

Upon that memorable scenn.li

Upon that memorable scenep gess
SO the poet describes tho demeanor Of the
Inflated Charles Stuart when brought to the
headsman's block, aud the same words might
without exaggeration, be applied to the sick
bed of the wounded American statesman Of
to-day. Eulogy and panegyric would be
wasted and out of place in dwelling on the
serene fortitude with which Gen. Garfield has
met the cruel and unexpected blow that has
fallen upon him. Nevertheless, 1t is uuques-
tionable that public sympathy is still more at
tracted than would otherwise be the case to
one who sets such heroic example of patient
endurance in suffering. All the reports that
reach us from the bedside of the grievously-
wounded President depict him as cheerfully
accepting the decree of Providenos, hard as
it must necessarily appear. There is some
thing of the old Roman fortithde about the
way In which this representative of the new
world bows before the might of destiny.
" To fall be eomingly "-such was the object
of the noble Latin when be knew that the
hour of his death had arrived. Yet it would
be impossible to hide from view that, at the
bottom of the dignified serenity with which
the President looks into, the face of fate, there
is an element Of true piety which hardly enter
ed into the grim stoieism of the ancient Ro-
man. In President Garfield at this moment
we can see the union of that manly courage
which is common to brave men in all ages
with something tenderer, purer, and in a
single word, more Christian than the heather
world could ever show. Caesar would have
ordered the sobbine Calpurnia sternly to quit
his presence, had it been his fate, after being
wounded by his assassins, to be brought back
to die at home but in modern America the
true position and dignity of womanhood are
better understood, and President Garfield
pillow is smoothed by the loving hands of his
best earthly com forter and life-l long compan-
ion. Tender as well as strong, the American
ruler of men thought first of dspatcbing a
message to his wife, that would break the
bad news gently to her, after which, Ii is re-
ported, she appeared to be more at ease, and
conyersed pleasantly with his friends 1t is
not every man who, when told by his physi-
clans that he is in all probability near his
end, can reply, Gods will be done. am
ready to die, in the simple unaffected words
of President Garfield. Such a display OF man
hood, whatever may be thought of the in
tellectual powers or the political wisdom of
the wounded statesman, is good to be set mp
before our eyes in an age and generation
marked far too much by flippancy and fri
volity. Whether tho man on whom the
thoughts of two continents are fixed lives or
dies, he has, at all events, presented picture
of unfaltering courage and noble fortitude
on his bed of sickness. - london Telegraph.
