To oretain or recover health, persons
should be relieved from anxiety con-
cerning disease. The mind has power
over the body-for a person to think he
has a disease will often produce that
disease. This. we see effected when the
mind is intensely concentrated upon the
disease Of another. We have seen a
person seasick, in anticipation Of a vOy-
age, before reaching the vessel. We
have known people to die of cancer in
the stomach, when they had no cancer
in the stomach or any other mortal dis
ease. A blindfolded man, slightly
pierced in the arm, has tainted and died
from believing he was bleeding to death.
Therefore persons should have their
minds diverted as much aspOssible from
themselves. 1t is by their faith that
men are saved, and it is by their faith
that they die. AS man thinketh, so IS
he. If he wills not to die, he can often
live in spite Of disease; and if he has lit
tle'or no attachment to life, he will slip
away as easily as a childwill fall asleep.
Men live by their minds as well as by
their bodies. Their bodies have no life
Of themselves they are only recepta-

Some years ago the French govern
ment directed the Academy Of Medicine
to INQUIRE into the influence Of. tobacco
on the human system. The report Of
the commission appointed by the Acad-
envy states that large number of the
diseases of the nervous system and Of
the heart, noticed in the cases of those
affected with paralysis or insanity, were
to be regarded as the sequence Of exces-
si7e indulgence in the use Of this artl-
Gle and it is remarked that tobacco
seems primarily to act upon the organic
nervous system, depressing the faeul-
ties and influencing the nutrition OF the
body, the circulation Of the blood, and
the number Of red corpUscles in the


blood. Attention is also called to bad
digestion, benumbed intelligence, and

For quarter Of century or more the
New York commi. sioners of emigration
acting under the law OF that State, collec-
ted head tax Of Sl.j0 TO $3.50 upon i'm
migrants landing in the port Of New York.
The supreme court OF the United States
has decided this head tax unconstitution-
al, and in consequence OF the decision The
tax hasnot been collected for some time past.
The steamship companies are now seeking
through the courts TO recover the entire
amount, estimated at about Sl0,000,000,
collected by the commissioner under the
State law. The tax, although SO much per
head upon immigrants, was collected from
the companies. They therefore take the
ground that, as they paid the tax, and as il
was unconstitutional and void, the State is
bound in law to return the money. The
test suit, brought by the Inman line for
the recovery Of over a million dollars, is
now pending in the United States court oi
the southern New York district. The
Chicoga Times says:


The companies may, perhaps, have the law
on their side, but their course in seeking 10
recover the money has nevertheless created
surprised. They opposed the tax, and took
measures TO test its constitutionality, but
they did not intimate that they thought OF
such q thing rs seeking to get back any OF
the money they had paid. Their only avowed
object in opposing the tax was 70 rid them:
selves of that, which was NOT 50 mach bur
den or cause Of direct loss in itself as a
source OF some inconvenience, and some in
direct loss arising nom the encouragement
of immigration, or its diversion to other

At Governor HOWard'S reception, on
his arrival IN Yankton, Gov. Pennington
delivered the following address:


GOVERNOR HowARD-I welcome you to
the duties, cares, responsibilities, and to
the honors and emoluments of the exec
utlve office Of this territory; and con-
gratulate the people and myself that we
are committing its responsible duties to
one 50 entirely competent to perform
them, and to one who will so eminently
dignity the position.


During residence and public servi ce
of ,ver four years among these people, l
have received nothing but courtesy, kind
ness and the most generous hospitality
from the entire respectability and intelli-
gence OF the territory, and as citizen and
in their name I pledge for them and my
self the same open, manly, frank and gen
erous treatment for you a. my successor.


We who come to this frontier country
as strangers, are not long in ascertaining
the fact that. Notwithstanding we are on
the very outpost Of civilization, all the
professions and pursuits of business, as
we'll as those social relations that make
up refined society, are represented by
men and women who are the peers OF the
best people to be found in the older CON-
munities of the east; and that SO far from
that wild lite of deprivation and discom-
fort that most Of us expect, we find the
usual comforts, elegancies and efnements
Of the older settled portions Of the coun-
try, together with thrift and prosperity
seldom to be met with elsewhere certain
ly not to be found anywhere east OF the
Mississippi river.
And now, governor, with these remarks
I welcome you to our young and growing
territory; welcome you to the cares and
to the honsrs of this important Office, the
duties Of which yen are about to assume.
trust and have no doubt but you will
find these duties pleasant and agreeable;
and hoping also that we may be able to
throw sunshine along the social pathway
of yourself and family, and render all
future recollections Of your residence
among us pleasing to you and to them, l
now resign this chair and the duties it in
wolves into your hands; again congratu-
lating the citizens of Dakota and myself
that am succeeded by one so eminently
worthy cur confidence and support.


Gov. Howard, in reply, expressed his
gratitude for the attentions he had re-
ceived, and extended his personal thanks
to Gov. Pennington, saying that ne had
received at his hands every courtesy
which one man could give another. The
governor was gratified at the cordially
and confidence Of the people. AS to the
duties of his Office he did not think it
proper to make any promises in advance.
He had reached that period of life when
he had expected not to hold another Of
fce-he had said there was no position
within the gift of the government which
would tempt his acceptance. Health had
become the leading purpose of his life.
AS to money, he had become very rich in
economical habits, and by the use OF
those habits he thought he had enough
to carry him through. He sought mel l:her
honor nor profit, but if our climate would
bring him health his. labors would be
freely given towards making Dakota one
of the grancest states in the union.

A romantic encounter took place the
other day between two Indian women
and tall chief, on board the Soulanges,
at Fredericton. The two, it appears,
had been travelling with the setting sun
towards the great Salt Lake, and had
brought bottle with them to keep their
spirits revived. One of the women was
rather inclined to be handsome, and Joel
seemed to glory in conversing with her.
But she had promised ere three moons to
bestow her hand upon more youthful
brave. Joel, however, began TO make
love to her, and even hinted young Gabe
was mere squaw. This was too much
for Swan Neck. Naturally irritable of
temper, and now excited with fire.water,
she rushed upon the unfortunate Joel,
and with the grip of tigress dragged
him to the floor. The other woman, who
had all along been taking an occasional
dram out of the bottle, now broke the
calumet, and siezing billet of wood
began to cudgel the unfortunate Joel.
She had, it appears, for many years cher
ished the fond hope that he would bring
her to his wigwam and make her the
trainer of his pappooses. But her love
had been treated with scorn, and now
every welt that she gave him with that
billet Of wood paid for many hours
watching in the still hours Of night, with
nothing but the pale moon streaming
down to comfort her AS she tried to catch
his figure returning from the hunt. Well,
from what we can learn, but for the in
tervention of some of the crew. Joel
would never again hunt moose.-HaI9ar

EARLY RIPENING OF THE TOMATO. BY
cutting back the ends of tho tomato vine
as soon as the fruit is sufficiently set to
insure plentiful crop, the ripcuing sea-
son can be pushed to good advantage.
Not only will the fruit ripeu sooner, but
it will be Of finer size and more perfect
development. If possible, the fruit should
be ripened on the vines; the flavor is SO
much richer when so ripened, that it is
worth while to take extra pains in order
to protect it so that it may ripen in its
natural state. A most eifectdal scare
crow to fight away poultry from theripen-
ing fruit can be made by sticking turkey
or hen feathers into crooked neck sum-
mer squash, so it will resemble hawk;
put stick through the body, tie strings
to either end, and fasten to long pole,
letting the "nondescript" swing back
and forth over the tomato bed. 1t will
prove etfectual, we know.
