A writer in the Gentleman's s Magazine (England) has an article on the typical Yankee. He advances the theory that the '1ank and shriveled aspect of the typical Yankee" is the result of the dry ness of this continent as compared with the moist climate of England. ''Dessi- cated Englishmen" Is his description of the typical Yankee. In support of his theory he recites several special incl dents. Mr. R. A. Proctor, the astrono- mer, during each of three visits to Amer ica lost about 30 pounds of flesh, which he regained on returning home. A son of MT. Williams employed as an assistant to Major Hirschel in his pendulum ex- periments, while engaged in his pro- fessional labors at Washington got into state of abnormal excitement, ''a sort of dry oxygen intoxication, and had to be sent home for cure. During his stay in this country he had grown "'taller and thinner, lank-iawed and sallow, !" displaying all the characteristic symp- toms of what the writer calls acute Americanitis, from all of which he speed fly recovered at his English home. The third Illustration is found in an exhi- bition of certain portraits of the Combes AoAAAJ, AAOAuelAAIS e11OoO O1 uOoScuOhutS of the family who dad emigranted to this country generation ago, as we'll as those of persons now living in Edin- burg. With these was the portrait of the Indian chieftain Black Hawk. An inspection of the portraits was thought to demonstrate that the deviation from the family type in the American DOT traits were all in the direction of the '.red Indian, /" who was regarded as typi- cal of the native American. On the strength of these somewhat peculiar data, the writer concludes that there is constantly going on in America, as a result of the climate, drying up of fiber, development of constitutional intensifcation, tendency to chron- ic disturbances, the only effectual rem edy for which will be change of eli mate. He prophecies that American physicians will soon prescribe for their well-to-do over-worked patients a resi-, dence in England, ''to breathe the sooth- ing humidities of it's anodyne atmos- phere.'

ONE of the live issues since the elec- tion is the beef supply question. The probability of healthful rivalry in the business of western dressed beef is ex- citing the attention of all classes, as all are interested in the prospect of cheaper prices. The prospects are that the prices must come down but not perhaps to ante bellum times. As to the com parison of home raised beef with western beef, there are those who believe that the latter is the best. They believe that the young stock fattenened on the western prairies make better beef than worn-out oxen and old cows. When it comes to home-raised young stock, fat tened expressly for the markets, our choice would incline to these, and in the other case we should prefer the western beef. In any event, let the prices come down.

 It is now some time since we have told you anything about our Stock of Clothing, but as Fall is here and Cold Winter is coming, we want to call your attention to some goods in our Stock, which we believe will just suit your wants for the Winter.
 FIRST, However, we would say that a change has taken place in our store since last Spring. MT. Rogers has left us to take a position in the city. His good will he has left with us, and we shall endeavor to keep his trade as far as possible, if good goods, low prices and telling the truth about what we sell will do it, we shall not lose many custom CTS, we have not time or money to throw away in buying plates of good or poorly dressed gents to head our advertising columns with, neither do we claim to be editors of an illustrated paper. What we are trying to do is to run our store as cheaply as pos sible and give our customers the benefit of what we can save in rent, clerk hire, cheap advertis ing and buying goods for cash.
 Now a few words in regard to our stock:

adelphia are i. a stew over the prop
er observance of Sunday. They want
to shut up saloons, barber shops, etc,
and stop railway cars and newspapers
that everything may be quiet. 1t
only remains for some of the more
radical to advocate the delivery of
sermons on Saturday as that is a
species of work and makes a certain
amount of noise. Then the good
people of the Quaker City would have
entire quiet on the Lords day and
could enjoy the quiet in meditating
over what the preacher said on Sat,

The Benefit Of Sanitary Precau-
tiona.

New Orlesfs. which in years sgone
always dreaoeN ; Summer season,
with its yell,s ever and other cpl
demical scouis-s nas been taught q
profitable lesson by experience. The
city never, heretofore, has been in so
healthful a condition at this season
of the year. Her exemption even
from local diseases is remarkable, and
this desirable state of affairs is de-
rived from her sanitary precautions.
To canal digging, sewer flushing and
street. washing are attributed this
great change. Those who formerly
he'd the city in the Summer season to
escape prostration and threatened
death now remain at home and attend
to business. The Press of New Or
leans dvells with delight on The sltu
alton, and its Influence will hereafter
be devoted to maintaing cleanliness
as the safest refuge of the city from

PREPARING AMMUNITION.

Some Democratic journals are al
ready preparing ammunition for the
campaign. Foresesing Mr.. strother
will in all probability receive the
nomination for Governor they sic
making ready to fire the usual rail-
road and monopoly cartridges. They
state upon hsarsay that he is the can
didate OF the railroads and Bonanza
people, but their hearsay Is incorrect.
Mr.. Strother Is . candidate before the
Republican party, and is neither SUP.
ported nor opposed by either railroad
companies or any other corporations
No corporation will spend money
either to elect or defeat him, and
when elected, as he probably will be
if the Republican party is sufficient
ly alive to its own interests (and this
is also probable) to nominate him, he
will be Governor of the State of Ne
vads, neither for nor against corpora
tions, but opposing them if they are
in the wrong and sustaining them if
they have the right on their side.
Without the enormous wealth Of the
Bonanza owners he is sufficiently
wealthy to be above the influence of
money or power, and to be able TO
carry his party without pecuniary
assistance from the people whom the
Democratic papers appear to dread !;
and will not be embarrassed by en-
tangling obligations should it be
necessary to act in the interest of the
people against encroachmeuts on
their rights. The anxiety OF the OPP
posite party regarding his nomina-
tion is a good indication to Republi-
cans, but their anxiety will be in,
creased many fold when questions as
to whence their pet Canavan derives
his support begin to be asked.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE

A card and affidavit relative to the
school troubles will be found in an
other column. The ladies signing
the affidavit have no doubt reason to
complain of the conduct OF Trustee
Lothrop, but the man to whom they
in reality owe their grievances is j..
L. Campbell, the butcher, who while
not taking prominent part himself
has enough influence over Mr.. 10th
rop to cause him to act In the unde-
cided manner which is complained
of. Mr.. Campbell from motives of
personAl malice towards some neigh
bors had determined to retain the
principal although he had knowledge
of his rascally character. 1t is evi'
IDENTITY his intention when he gets
tired of the play to affect sorrow at
having been deceived and excuse
himself under the plea that he did
not know the facts and thought he
was doing right. In the meantime,
while keeping in the background, he
is making Mr.. Lothrop rake in the
chestnuts for him and take the blame.
1t IL his policy to affect desire for
the best interest of the school, while
he is actually making those against
whom he bears vindictivs enmity

as it influences the scales Of school
