EATING LEMONS.

A good deal has been said through the
papers about the healthfulness of lemons.
The latest advice is how to use them so
that they will do the most good, as fol-
lowsj Most people know the benefit of
lemonade before breakfast, but few know
that il is more than doubled by taking
another at night also. The way to get
the better of the bilious system without
blue pills or quinine is to take the juice
of one, two, or three lemons as appetite
Graves, in as much ice water hs makes it
pleasant to drink without sugar before
going to bed. In the morning, on rising,
at least half hour before breakfast, take
the Juice Of one lemon in goblet of

stomach by eating lemons clear; the pow

corrosive, invariably produces inflammation

A committee representing the cattle
men of the Cheyenne reservation waited
on President Cleyeland on the 4th inst,
and set up an elaborate complaint at the
request made few days ago that the
cattle be removed within forty days.
The president listened to the reading OF
their paper with polite interest, and after
they were through, as politely gave them
to understand that his proclamation, Or
dering those lands vacated in the time
specified, was no array of idle words, but
meant what it said. He told them tina
to grant their request would further en-
rage and agitate the Indians to threaten
the lives Of hundreds of people only for
the personal interests of lew; and they,
instead of promptly obeying his procla
nation, had wasted precious time in
vain eudeavor to have him recind that
order. They went away fully convinced
of the fact that there is no "milk ana
cider" in Mr. Cevelsnd's imposition.

Twenty years ago, or for that matter
ten years ago, the Mobile Register would
DOT have admitted the preservation OF the
Union by the overthrow Of the armies oil

South as we'll as the North Bnt the
world moves and what in the heat OF q
fratricidsl contest seemed to US of the
South the most glorious achievement
the establishment of an independent con-
federacy-is now looked upon as a pro
iect which if realized, would have ended
in disaster. We wanted confederacy
and fought bravely for one, but coi1fed-
sracy of sovereign states with the right
of secession as an acknowledged princi-
pie would have been what Washington
declared the government under the Artl
cles of Confederation to be---"a rope OF
sand" There is scarcely man of the
survivors Of the struggle for Southern in
dependence who now believes that victo-
ry for our arms and the establishment of
an independent government would have
beet other than misfortune to both
North and South. 1t is not to be doubted
that the men who espoused the Confeder-
ete cause and fought against fearful odds
for more than four years were honest in
their convictions. Their heroic endur-
snse and the terrible sacrifices made by
them clearly proves this. But the great
majority of the survivors are thouroughly

great magnitude, of such unparalleled
grandeur, so representative Of the wurld'e
lchness and progress, so indicative Of
continued great commercial and lndustrl-
Al possibilities, gathered together after
so many months of incessant labor and at
such great expense, and finally having
reached completeness and perfection; and
naving through unfortunate and unavoid-
able circumstances been attended by so
paratiyely small proportion Of th'
people of this country, it sremed sacri
egr that it should now cease and pass
from existence.
Prominent citizens of New Orleans and
of the Mississippi Valley feeling that it's
lestiny had not been accomplished, that
she great work it had inaugurated was
not sufficiently advanced, determined
hat the great Exposition should again 5e
