THE ORDER IN NEW JERSEY.

Special Correspondence National Tribune.
TRENTON, n. J., June 10.-The Department
Commander of New Jersey, Colonel Edward l..
Campbell has issued the following circular:
The following is promulgated for the infor-
nation of the comrades of this Department
At a meeting of the Council of Administra-
ton held at Trenton, Saturday, June Sd, the
following resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed:
" Resolred, That in consideration of the infor-
nation presented to the Council Of Administra-
tion, in respect to the advisabiiity of holding q
summer Encampment, and of the fact that only
a small minority Of the comrades to whom the
question was submitted voted in favor of an
Encampment, and in view of the fact that so
many intend participating in the Reunion at
Baltimore, and also of the condition of the
finances of the Department, the holding of a
summer Encampment the present season is not
advisable"
Resolrcd, That the Council of Administra-
tion of the Department of New Jersey, Grand
Army of the Republic, having had their attcn-
tion called to certain public reports rejecting
upon the personal and official conduct of Col.
Charles H. Houghton, the last previous Com
mander of this Department, hereby express
their unabated and unqualified confidence in
Col. Houghton's personal and official integrity,
and extend to him the expression of their cor
dial affection and good will, and their full be-
lief that impartial inquiry will completely vim
dicate him as man, a soldier, and All officer of
the Government, from all injurious imputa-
tions.
"Reso7red, That copy of this resolution be
officially forwarded to Col. HoughtOn, and to
each Post in the Department."
It was further decided at the meeting above
named that the Department Commander and
staff will leave for Baltimore on the train which
leaves New York at 1876 on the afternoon Of
the Goth inst; that they wear blue coat and
pantaloons, with G. A. L. buttons, white vest,
black felt hat military style with gold cord,
and white gloves; and that the Department
Commander and A. Q. NJ General employ a
band to join the Department on the morning of
the 2lst at Baltimore, and accompany them and
such Posts as may attend, during that day, at
cost of not moro than $50.
Action was also taken with a view to pro-
longing the next Annual Department EnCamp-
ment lin January next so Us TO continue dur
ing two days.
The Department Commander cOngratulates
the Department that at the recent vote taken
upon the subject a pronounced majority voted
to have no beer sold at the summer Encamp-
mcnt, should one be held. Such a result taken
in connection with the strong inducements of
profit and policy TO the contrary, indicates
high standard Of character and moral senti-
ment. lie desires to express some surprise,
however, at the indifference manifested
throughout the Department in regard to
summer Encampmcnt. Many Posts took no
vote at ALL or, if they did, no return of it was
made.

About Hiuh Heels.

Those who persist in wearing high
heeled shoes are requested to peruse the
following from the Medical News:
The heel is made too small and too
high, and is displaced forward. Its mar
rowness makes women unsteady in their
gait, like the Chinese. Their euui]i-
brium is unstable. Its height is still
worse. It puts the sole on an inclined
plane, as if the wearer were constantly
going down a mountain; and how fatign.
ing that is let anyone say after a trial.
It predisposes to falls. The foot sliding
forward on the toes doubles them up,
producing painful corns on their upper
surface. It throws the weight on the
forefoot instead of the heel. Onimus
shows by the graphical method, to which
we lately alluded, that this twists the
axis OF the foot forward and often pro-
duces painful contractures of the calf
muscles, the anterior tibials, and even
the muscles of the thigh, due to extra
work required by the abnormal posture
to maintain the body in equilibrium, and
prevent it from falling forward. Els
pecially is the peroneous longus muscle
put on the strain by these two defects.
Let anyone stand bare legged on one
foot, and watch the tendons of these
muscles in looking glass as his equili-
brian is disturbed. Every slight want
of balance causes one or another to
spring into strong relief, showing their
vigorous contraction. Imagine this
gong on all day in both feet. and one
can readily believe that walking and es.
pecially running (well nigh lost ART
among coraet bound and Chipese-shoC
womcn) will he rarely INDUCED in except
when necessity admits OF no excuse.

Struggled CeIestiais.

Among the reported schemes for the
evasion Of the Chinese immigration bill
is one that is designed to keep up the
supply OF Chinese women, who have al
ways been few in number in proportion
to the men. These women are said in
California to be bought and sold as
slaves, and should scarcity in the sup
ply occur, their price would be likely to
go up to q high figure, say $500 to ST.
600 each. But the Chinese traders are
likely to get around the immigration law
by bringing on every business trip two
or three women apiece from China.

Bad for Doctors and Wives.

The Winnemucca Silver State of Sept.
16 says: "The Piutes hereabouts have
learned by courier that Winnemucca
chief of all the Piutes, is lying at the
point of death near Fort Bidwell, where
he was on visit to Ochoho, one of his
faithful henchmen. The sub-chiefs are
Respondent, and, as Indians are very
supersttious, some attributed his illness
to the witchery of his new wife, while
others think the medicine man is to
blame. 1t is quite probable that, il h E
sickness ends in death, bis wife and doc
tor will be made to atone for it with their
lives. 1t is customary for the Piutes, as
well as many other tribes, to kill the
medicine man who attends chief dur
ing an illness which ends in death, aud
they sometimes sacrifice the unfortunate
wife of q dead chief on his grave. An
instance of the latter kind took place
here two years since, when ON innocent
squaw was taken with the corpse of her
husband to the Harmony mountains some
eight or ten miles above town, and sacri,
feed on his grave, the charge against her
being witchcraft. T:'S3 : ~. 49,. i

able person to be at the same time

then genius in this direction, if there

the benefit of those who are fighting

of man can offer no parallel, woman
is expected to daily endure a strain
