If walking alone is adopted as the
means to counteract the effect of too
much sitting, then care should be taken
that system enters into the walk. A
slow, desultOry sort Of walk is of no
earthly use; it simply tires one without
any beneficial result. The walking
should be brisk with the head up and
the chest thrown forward The breath
ing should be regular and as free as the
swing of the limbs. The distance is
optional of course, but two miles ought
to be no task for the man who wants Ia

A Gong in a Queer Place.

An eminent clergyman, travelling in
the East, wrote home letter in which
about "the sound of q gong IN the tops
of the mulberry trees" The type
setter, not very familiar with the Bible,
mistook the "going" for the word
"gong." We could scarcely believe our
eyes when we read about the sound of
a gong in the top of the mulberry trees.
We did not believe that it could have
been possible that man had climbed
up into such a place with that familiar
hotel instrument of music. If he had
reached that elevated point with gong,
he would not have been able to poise
himself we'll enough to strike it to any
advantage. We felt disposed to pro-
nounce the whole thing to be libel,
until we thought it must have been
typographical error.
But what writer or speaker has not
suffered from similar mistakes? Hon.
Daniel S. Dickinson told us that he
thought the type-setter had shortened
his life by ten years. After what man
did really say has gone through three
or four different HANDS the speaker
would not recognize his own deliver
ance. We recently read in Boston
paper two columns of sermon which
once or twice reminded us of something
that we ourselves had said, when on
finishing we looked up to the heading,
and to our surprise found it our own.
The process through which the sermon
had gone had changed its entire texture.
But faults are often charged on report
ers and printers which belong really to
the speaker or writer. If people real
lied how many inarticulate utterances
come from the pulpit, platform, and
forum, the reporter would be excused
for occasional mistakes. II people
knew how much infamous chirography
comes to o newspaper Office there would
be more leniency for the printer who
puts the gong in the top Of the mulber-
ry tree. DR.. Tdlmdge, IN Frank Les

Extent Of the DistilIing Business.

According to the census of 1880 the
whole number of persons employed In
the production of distilled liquors OF

sixty-three branches of industry, in
cluded under the head of manufactures
alone, which were more important, be-
cause furnishing occupation and sup
port to q greater number of the people,
a1d at least twenty-six of these exceed
cd the business of liquor distilling in
the value of annual product, although
the distilling business is one of those
which yield very large nominal value
in proportion to the number of persons

Two colored delegations called at

respects TO President Cleveland. To the first
squad, which came from Virginia, the Presi-
dent said:
/ have listened with much interest to the
words in which you have addressed me. and / am
glad that you are determined to claim only the
rights and privileges of citizens by a proper
performance OF your duties as such citizens.
1t has been said that eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty. desire to remind you OF this.
and to say that the vigilance to which refer is
based on that thoughtful consideration which
induces you to see and apprehend the things
that pertain to your interest as citizens. and
gain a knowledge OF these things in your way
and without being blindIy or cunningly de-
ceived, and when this is fully accomplished the
day will come which ], for one, will be glad to
see, when something better than race or color
will divide the political action of those who are
citizens of the United States.
To a delegation of colored preachers Presi-
dent Cleveland spoke as follows:
am very much pleased to see you here, and
am exceedingly gratifed with the address which
has just been delivered. lam glad to know that
this goodly number represents such large por-
ton of my fellow citizens belonging to partic-
ular race. AS religious teachers your mission is

cannot be ignored, and should not be I'M

morals, honesty, and proper regard for estab-

necessary to good citizenship. You have seen fit
to refer TO the Democratic party to which be-
long My conception Of Democratic principles
embraces equal rights and privileges to all who

OF all the multitude of fearful ills that
prey upon and destroy the human race,
consumption stands out with distinctive
prominence as the most alarming. A cold
at first, then neglected cough leads to the
development of this scourge of mankind:
One remedy that has survived the test OF
trial is Aliens Lung Balsam, compounded
from the purest ingredients and free from
all combinations of opium. For coughs,
colds, Group, bronchitis, and all other af-
fections of the throat and lungs it stands
unrivaled. 1t approaches so nearly spe-
cifc that, with the common sense directions
around each bottle strictly complied with,
ninety-i per cent. of consumptive cases
are permanently cured by this invaluable
remedy. The safety of every family would
be consulted by keeping bottle of Aliens
Lung Balsam in the house and have 1t
ready for use when coughs, colds, and Group
make their unwelcome intrusion.
