coMMoN.sENsE DIETING.

Practical Application OF the Maxim
"Ent to Live and Not Live to Eat"
By dieting mean taking only such
food as will most promote the health
OF the individual, in such quantities
and at such times as will admit of the
most thorough digestion and assimila-
ton. giving the greatest amount of
health and strength. There is prev
alent notion that one is dieting simply
because little oatmeal is occasionally
eaten, without any regard to what is
eaten beside this, or the quantity eaten,
or when it is eaten, and how.
To take a little oatmeal, or ''cold
blast bread" or "gluten," occasional
ly, OF when the stomach will not toler-
ate any other kind of food, or in addi-
ton to full meal of rich and indi-
gestible food, is not dieting. There is
nothing in these plain, nourishing and
wholesome articles which will render
mince pies easy of digestion; nothing
to counteract the unfavorable influences
on our digestion of strong tea, to-
bacco, whisky, intoxicants in general,
opium and the like, all wearing with
Uue IuuCClOuS Oh inc SLOmaC0.
A full meal of pork and beans with
doughnuts, old and strong cheese, will
notbe easily digested simply by taking
avery little cruel, however simple and
wholesale it may be, since the unwhole-
some food is there, and in some way
must be disposed of, digested- which
is the nature of the case, is not an easy
matter Gluten, as nourishing as It
is, as easily digested and favorable to
health, can not render boiled cabbage,
saturated with grease, or hard-boiled
or fried eggs, safe and wholesome food.
In other words, after person has
taken all that the stomach can pos
sibly tolerate, an addition of whole
some food, taken just for principles
sake, will never constitute sensible di-
citing.
Wholesome food should be taken for
its own sake in proper quantities. that
the digestive organs may be properly
treated, cared for, and not as matterO
penance, to atone for the first wrong.
If the dyspeptic wishes to diet ION the
square," let him select plain and simple
food, that in the matter of digestibility
is adapted to the debilitated state of his
stomach, take it in moderate auanti-
ties, at proper times. chewing slowly
and thoroughly, without the aid Of
drinks, taking less at night, the SIM
,lest of the day.
Dyspepsia, in its natural form, is as
durable as any disease, If disease in
stead of fatigue, this should be called,
the cure consisting mainly in giving
the digestive organs fair chance-a
chance for reasonable rest.-Dr. Ham

An Authoritative Denial.

The esteemed evening Capital thinks
the Confederate bonds will never be
paid. There is not a question but it
believes just what it says. There are
very few if any people in this country
who believe those bonds will be paid,
but there are great many orators and
organs advocating the principles of the
Republican party that endeavor to
make people believe they will be. Be-
fore Democratic President was
elected, the payment of the rebel debt
was discussed on the stump and in the
organs as one of the n.sfortunes which
were sure to befall the country in case
Democracy triumphed. The Capital
does well to correct the wrong impress
sions its party is responsible for,
especially when it is known that one
of New York's shrewdest and most ell
oquent lawyers has accepted a retainer
of British gold to present the cause of
the foreign holders of Confederate
bonds, and has actually been before
Congress and argued the case in the
interests Of his clients. Moines

A Voice from Abroad.

Prof. II. Won Hoist, the famous
German author of "a Constitutional
History of the United States" says in
recent number of the Berlin Nation
that the opinion formed of Cleveland's s
ability and character has proved in tho
main correct.
'He has now shown" says the historian, sin
u higher and wider sphere thar ho Possesses
sound and sober judgment, the best intentions,
high moral courage, nnd an transformations en-
ergy, which are proof even against the violent
and continuous attacks Of those machine pOl.-
ticians who tnd themselves menaoed In their
most vital interests. Whut he has already
done for his country In tho display OF these
qualities suilices TO link his name to those OF
tho best Presidents The bloody shirt tho
legacy of the late war, has forever ceased to
bo u factor In American politios; tho best
sounding phrases and the most vehement ges-
ticulations OF shallow-brainod trimmers, a la
Blaine, can NOT snatch another shred from ita
grave. Tho more obstinately and furiously
they persist In the attempt, the more surely
and rapidly they dig their own political
grave"
The Republicans who applauded Won
Holsts judgments upon Jackson, Van
Buren, Pierce and Buchanan ought to
step up TO the rack and say what they
think. k.-Deh0N Free Press,

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
THE ELFIN.

when the Sun, In his white cloud nightcap
Cots tired, and saws: "Good-night,"
And sinks, where the SKI is reddest,
Completely out OF sight,
And the man, with his torch and ladder.
Goes trampinp up and down,
Setting the lamps a-RlOwing
And hickerlng through the town,
Then the littlo Twilight Elm,
With lnugh and merry smile,
Slips out from his cozy corner,
And travels many a mile.
Ger land and water goes he.
This elf, with his face SO mild,
And as he goes he kisses
The eyes of each tired child.
As soon as the kiss has fallen,
They follow the drowsy god;
They climb up the Drcanl.land ladder.
Aud reach the Land of Nod.
Then all night long they travel
The Journey wOndrous seems
The elm still beside them,
A-whispering: pheasant dreams"

Making a Navy.

1t is evident from the way in which
the Secretary has addressed himself to
his duties that he means to inaugurate
naval establishment worthy of the
United States. He believes and says,
and such is the opinion of all informed
and just men, that the naval
service should be considered quite
apart from the naval administration.
The naval service, the personnel of the
navy, is in the main composed, to use
his own words, "of Il body of accom-
plished men, representing a high, So
cial standard of personal character,
who are deservcdly respected and hon
ored throughout tho world" Contin-
uing his own language: "This, unfort-
unately, can not be said with equal
justics of the Navy Department, and
whatever dissatisfaction the country
has ever experienced with the naval
arm of our Government will be found to
have had its origin, not in the naval serv-
ice, but in the naval administration,
and even there dissatisfaction should be
limited to certain branches only of the
business OF the department" The plan
of business reorganization which he
outlined in his annual report has busi-
ness principles of directness, economy
and practicability on its side. 1t has
commanded the appreciation Of thought
full men everywhere. The evils and
blundeys of tho present NAL system he
laid bare with an unsparing hand; but
he was careful to discriminate between
the blame due to faulty methods and
the consideration to be extended Ia
honorable men who were at the mercy
of such methods. The large discretion
OF power given him under the law is to
be used by the Secretary in the direc-
tion OF business-like reconstruction Of
the department itself.-Brookiun Eaole.

UNEQUAL MATCHES.
Social Obligations Resting Upon Every
Young Man and Woman.


Young Man and Woman.
Another silly young lady has mar.
ried her fathers coachman. We say q
silly young lady, because such un.
equal matches are unfavorable to hap
piness. and are generally as bad for
the party who seems to have the adj
vantage as for the other. They are
not good for either; but are awkward
and annoying to more than the parties
themselves. 1t is common for persons
who have made such alliances to say
that they had right to please Them
selves; but this is maxim to be
taken with some exception. A mar
ried pair are not quite isolated in
society. They are, on the contrary,
associated and connected with many
persons who owe to them, and to
whom they owe, duty. 1t is felt by
these persons that the unsuitableness
OF the match is productive of much
inconvenience to them, and must
needs be so, while such thing as
society exists. 1t is, therefore, in some
measure necessary, in marriage, to
please friends as well as ones self. IL
we would discharge all the obligations
which rest upon us as social belugs.--,

Not Ruined by a Party.

We have always held that one good
result of the last national election
would be the dissipation of the fear
that Democratic Administration
would bring some sort of disaster upon
the country. Some of our Republican
friends in the Presidential campaign
indulged in the widest forebodings
about the probable effect on business.
Even the Republican candidate for
President, well known as u business
man, expressed grave apprchensions.
Some of our esteemed contemporaries
really seemed to suffer anguish on ac-
count of their fears.
We have now had full fiscal year
under the Democratic Administration
and the comparative receipts and eX-
penditures are as follows:

Baron J. Won 1. Wyngaert publishes
some interesting "reminiscences of a visit
made to Longfellow at Cambridge six
years ago last month. "On day in
May, 1880, visited him, and took my
place on u chair beside him." writes
Wyngaert. "'Sit here,' said Longfel-
