Two Chann nIadinInaa.

One of the cheapest medicines that
mortal can use is sleep. 1t is sOWer-
eign remedy for weakness; 1t cures rest
lessness, uneasiness and irritability; 1t
will remedy headache; it also curesner-
vousness.
When weary we should rest when
exh austed we should sleep. To resort
to slinulants Ia suicidal what weary
men need is sleep. Tue lack of sleep
causes neuralgia, paralysis and insanity.
Many person dies for want Of sleep,
and the point where many a sufferer
turns his feet from the very gates of
death to the open path of life Is where
he sinks to sleep. OF almost every
sick man 1t may be said, as of Lazarus,
eff he sleep, he shall do well. !"
Another excellent medicine ia sunshine.
The world requires more oft, moral.
~ and physically. 1t 10 more soothing
than morphine, more potent than pop
pres. 1t is good for liver complaint, for
neuralgia, for rheumatism, for melan-
oholy-for everything Maize your rooms
sunny ald cheerful; build your house
so as to command the sun all day long.

PeterSburR's Dilemma.

PETERSBURG, Va, July IA spe.
cial meeting of the new City Council
was held tonight. Fifteen thousand
dollars was appropriated to purchase a
site for the State Central Lunatic Asy-
lum to be located here. Repeated ef-
forts were made to have the amount ap-
propriated when the Funders had con-
troll of the Councils but without snc.
cess. The Funder members in the
present Council determined to absent
themselves from the meetings of that
body so long as the Readjuster Coun'
cilmen make party issue of the ad-
ministration of city affairs. Not sim
gle one was present tonight. The
Council is now organized, with thir.
teen Readjusters and eleven Demo.
cratic members. Under the rules Of
the Council it requires two.thirds ma.
jority to suspend the rules; hence there
can be no suspension of the rules with
out the presence of three Democratic
Councilmen. The deadlock remains
unbrokeu, and the city still has dual
set Of officers.
