AN ITEM WHICH EVERY MAN SHOULD READ
We have probably all OF rs met with in
stances 10 which word heedessly spoken a.
gainst the reputation of female has been mag
nifed by malicious minds until the cloud has
been dark enough to overshadow her whole
existence To those who are accustomed, not
necessarily from bad motives, but from thought
lessness-to speak lightly OF ladies, we recon-
mend these hints as worthy of consideration:


Never use lady s name in improper places
at an improper time, or in mixed company
Never make assertions about her that you think
untrue, or illusions that you think she herself
would blush to hear.


When you meet with men who do not scruple
to make use CT woman's name in reckless
and unprincipled manner. shun them-they are
the very worst members of the community
men lost to every sense of honor, every feeling
Of humanity. Many good and worthy wo-
man s character has been forever ruided and
her heart broken by lie manufactured by some
villain and repeated where it should not have
been, and in the presence Of those whose little
judgment could not deter them from circulating
the foul and Dragging report.


A slander is soon propagated, and the small
est thing derogatory to womans character
will fly on the wind, and magnify as it clrculates,
until its monstrous weight crushes the poor un-
conscious victim. Respect the name Of woman;
your mother and sisters are women, and as you
would have their fair names untarnished, and
their lives unimbittered by the sanderer's Bit
ter tongue, heed the ills your words may bring
upon the mother, the sister or the wife Of some
of your fellow creatures.

A great sensation was caused at Salt Lake
City, on the 10Th, by an announcement in the
Journal that one. Eliza webb Young, seven
teenth wife of Brigham Young, had forever
left him, carrying off her furniture and person
al effects. Brigham, it is said, will endeavor
to replace the goods. Mrs. Young is at the
Walker House. and three leading lawyers are
about to institute suit for divorce and alimony
in large sum. Great revolutions are expect
ed concerning the inner domestic life of the
prophet Mrs. Young is enjoying the sympa-
thy of the Gentle ladies, and polygamous Nor

The following sentences from Archbishop
Seekers Wedding Ring" are worth reading
twice:


Hast thou soft heart ? 1t is of God break
ing. Hast thou sweet wife-She is Of Gods
making. The Hebrews have a saying, He is
not man that hath not woman" Though
man alone may be good, yet it is not good that
man should be alone. Every good gift and ev-
cry perfect gift is from above. A wife though
she Is not perfect gift, is good gift, is beam
darted from the Sun of mercy. How happy
are those marriages where Christ is at the we'd
ding Let none but those who have favor in
God S eyes find favor in yours.


Husbands should spread mantle of charity
over their wives inirmities. Do not put out
the candle because of the snuff Husbands wives
should provoke one another to love and they
should love one. another notwithstanding pro
vocations. The tree of love should grow up in
the midst of the family, as the tree of life grows
10 the garden of Eden. Good servants are a
great blessing; good children are greater
blessing but good wife is the greatest bless
ing and such help let him seek for that lacks
one ]; let him sigh for that hath lost one; let
him delight in that enjoys one.

PROFANITY. Why will men take the name
of God in vain ?" What possible advantage is
to be gained by it? And yet this wanton, vul
gar sin of profanity is evidently the increase.
Oaths fall upon the ears in the cars, and at the
corners of the street


There are among us now not a few who feel
simple assertion of plain or obvious facts will
pass for nothing, unless they swear to its truth
By all the names of the Deity, and blister their


lips with every variety of hot and sulphurous
oaths. IF we observe such persons closely, We
shall generally find that the ferceness OF their
profanity is in averse ratio to the afHuence of
their ideas.


We venture to affirm that the profanest men
within the circles OF your knowledge, are all at
flicted with chronic weakness of the intellect
The utterance Of an oath. though it may pre-
vent vacuum in sound is no indication of
sense 1t requires no genius to swear. The
reckless taking of sacred names in vain, Is as
little characteristic of true independence of
thought as it is of high moral culture. In this
breathing and beautiful world, filled, as it we're,
with the presence of the Deity, and fragrant
with its incense from Thousand affairs of praise,
it would be no servility should We. catch the
spirit of reverent worshippers, and illustrate in
ourselves The sentiment that the Christian is

He liveth long who liveth well;

 All else in life is flung away; He liveth longest who can tell

 Of true things truly done each day. Then fill each hour with what will last, Buy up the moments as they go; The life above, when thIs is past,

 Is the ripe fruit of life below. Sow love, and taste its truitage pure; Sow peace, and reap its harvest bright; Sow sunbeams on the rock and moor, And find a harvest home of light.

WORK has at last commenced at both ends of the Texas and Pacific Railroad. Ground was broken at San Diego, April 21. A. E. Hor- ton, the founder of new San Diego, was placed in the position of honor and turned over the first sod. It IS said that up to this time the people of that place have lived OH a beautiful climate for breakfast, an unequalled harbor for dinner and the near and certain construction 0t the Texas and Pacific Railroad for supper, We sup pose now they will get something

 more substantial to eat, and hope they wII grow fat and wealthy. Speak ing of this light diet of the San DIegans we heard 1t questioned some time since, whether they could live long oil oucn Ioou, and an Old moun- taineer said that man did not know on how little he could live, until he had tried it; that he had existed for several years on deer signs and hog yoke soup, but that he was not feshy during the time to any great extent. But we don't blame the people of San Diego for feeling good over this event; we rejoice with them, for 1t marks an era in the future progress of Arizona. It reassures us that but few more wears will mass bpfOre we shall he placed in speedy and cheap conmuni- cation with the outside world, when we shall be able to utilize our mil lions of acres of unoccupied grazlng and agricultural lands, and astonish the world with the products of our gold, silver, copper and lead mines. And to San Diego we say-as in our misfortunes you sympathized with, and as best you could, sustained us so now ill your prosperity, we rejoice with you.

WE publish the following letter from Sulphur Springs by permission, and will say that we think that MT. Holbrook is very sound in his opinion that the Francisco portion of the Ter ritory should be left out of the res ervation. We know from personal observation that the Indians do not live in or occupy, nor do they desire to occupy, any portion of that coun- try but 1t was feared that fl We asked that that section and Pueblo Nieio valley at the same time bo left out, we might lose both; and as the including the latter in the reservation would be such a vital stroke to the best interests of the Territory and rUiuous to a mum Der who hrd invested ali they possessed, 1t was thought best to only ask that Pueblo Viejo valley be left out of the reserve:

 have noticed the letter from Hon. H. R. Cum, acting commissioner Interior de- partment, Washington, and the vague manner of the wording leads me to ask a question: 1 wi,h to know what he means by 'the Valley of Gila," and are there no limits to it, and if so, where is the line :? I know you will pard me for sugges- lion there is valuable corner of the Ter ritory north of the Gla river that think should be kept free from any ntahgle- ment of Indian rvation, for the reason that it is a mineral country that the In- dians don't want, and the white man will be always trespassing upon, and if struck off or set apart, will at no very distant day contain large and prosperous population.

NOMINEE.


HARTFORD, Jan. 3.--There is another serious
difficulty, in addition to those given in letter printed
In THE TRIBUNE yesterday, in the way of nominating
Haven man for Governor. The difficulty is purely
local in its character growing out of party divisions
The Journal the leading Republican paper In New-Ha-
ven after viewing the ground generally says il does
not blame friends Of other candidates than Mr. Har
rson) but is persuaded that they take mistaken view
of the matter and that "he Of their
is more likely than otherwise be the utter defeat
Haven in the Convention" These local differences,
with the other opposing elements which will center in
the Convention. render the prospect more and more
hopeless for the New-Haven programme.


haye Just been informed Of the debate OF OF the
incidental things in that programme which promises
settle the whole contest 1t appears that the New
Haven managers had conveyed the impression TO lead
ing Republicans In the eastern part Of the State that
Hartford united In favor Of New-Hayen candidate
and acting that presumption some signs OF ndofs
ing the New Haven movement were made I'D Newton
don and Wlndham counties. This deception prac-
ticed the strength OF Gov JewePs support or New
Haven the fact being that the position of Gov Jewell
Hartford does not In the slightest degree determine
the sentiment of Republicans here and In his present
attitude he acts quito alone and does not represent


faction In the whole Of Hartford and Toand counties
become informed OF the actual state of public feeling ~
this section the probability is that they win unite either
upon John p. WAIT OF Norwich or Henry p. Haven Of
New London, as candidate for Governor and which
ever name Is presented will be pretty sure TO have the

ALBANY, Jan. S.-There was a great panic
In the ranks OF the Customhouse politicians on learning

The danger of this result, however, is
lesscned somewhat by the gradual dis
covery by the land owners, that the more
inaccessible hills are worth more for
wood.lors than any other agricultural
purpose. The old practice Of clearing
land, that is, Of sweeping of the forest
and putting in crops, is falling into dis

land left to lie unvexed by hoe or harrow
The next year it sprouts thick with a new
growth, and in 20 or 25 years another
valuable harvest of timber is ready fol

Most chronic diseases, and many acute
ones, are produced at the table. As a
rule, no fluid of any kind should be
taken at the table, especially if the stom-
ach is weak. The stomach should never
be overloaded; not more than two or
three articles should be taken at one
meal no stimulants used before eating !;
tobacco arrests digestion. Milk is the
best diet for infants and children. To-
matoes with cream and sugar are healthy
and nutritious. Bread and butter is the
staff of life, and easily digested. Too
much salt irritates the stomach. Colds
are frequently produced by drinking hot
tea and exposure afterwards. Late sup
pers induce heart disease. Pastry and
cake constipate the bowels. Boiled
potatoes are not SO healthy as baked
ones. Fruits are to be eaten at break
fast and dinner. The stomach requires
much rest to be healthy; purgatiye
medicines weaken the bowels. Cheerful
conversation promotes digestion anger
prevents it.

The New York World says The
economy of the application of long
man1res depends upon circumstances.
We have applied them with satisfactory
results to stiff clayey soils, plowing them
under on sward land where we were
going to plant corn or potatoes. The
result attained by such course was not
so much manurial as mechanical. The
decomposition of this long manure, thus
buried, warmed and disintregated the
cold clay. But we would in no case
apply such manure to light and sandy
soils, except in this way When crop
of corn is growing and after the last hoe
ing, when the corn shades the ground
pretty nearly, we have seen excellent re-
suits from muzzling the horses to driv-
ing astride the row, spreading coarse
strawy manure between the rows, cover
ing the ground completely with a mulch.
This benefits the corn, especially in q
dry season, and on any kind of soil,
especially on light ones also on shallow
plowed, stiff soils.
