The most universal cause of dyspepsia
is eating too often, too fast, and too
much. The general rules should be:
1 K it tin ieo a day.
li -N-- an between meals.
3 Nothing after two o'clock but a
piece of cold bread and butter and one
cup of hot drink.
4 Spend half an hour at least in
taking each meal.
5 Cut np all meats aud hard food in
pea sized pieces.
6 Never eat enough to cause the
slightest uncomfortable sensation after
ward.
7 Never work or study hard within
half an hour of eatin".
Tho most universal and infallible in
dication that a person is becoming dys
peptic is some uncomfortable sensation
coming on uniformly after each meal,
wnetner that be in the stomach, throat
or anywhere else. The formation of
wind m the stomach, indicated by emo
tion, oeictiings, or otherwise, demon
strates that dyspepsia is fixing itself in
the system. Then there is only one
course-to pursue, and that is infallible;
eat less and less at each meal, until no
wind is generated and no other uncom
fortable sensation is experienced in anv
part of the body. No medicine ever
cured coniirmed dyspepsia : eatinsr ulain
food regularly and living out of doors
industriously, will cure most cases.

Wukiieas, By a false and unjust
financial system of the old political par
ties the industries of the country are
prostrate, labor is paralyzed by being
sold to untaxed bondholders, native
and foreign, forcing millions of labor
ing people into idleness, crime and des
titution, and
WnEnEAg, Tha present financial sys
tem depreciates our national currency,
greenbacks and silver coin compared
with gold, making three different mon
eys of unequal value, thereby causing
confusion in business, a loss to, and a
gross wrong upon the laboring people,
and
Whkheas, The old political parties
have failed even to offer a remedy for
these great evils, hence the necessity for
the Indejeudeut Greenback and Labor
Reform Party to establish a just and
efficient financial system aud a money
eurrency that will be ample for all busi
ness for all time, that our country may
be redeemed from debt, from business
depression, and our people from the
the galling chains of nioneyeuf monopo
lies, extortion, etc., interest and an in
adeaquate and debased currency.
JiemlveJ, The immediate and uncon
ditional repeal of the Specie Resump
tion Act, the repeitl of the National
Bank Act. the rumonetizatiou of silver
coin and the issue of a national curren
cy by the government as a full legal
tender, consisting of gold, silver and
paper, coequal with each other, not in
quantity but iu their standard values,
having the same and equal purchasing
and paying power in the transactionon
all business, public and private, wit'iout
limit.
IiesolveJ, That the paper- money is
sue of the government shall have the
same significance as coin money, not a
promise to pay but money receivable
for all claims and demands of tbe gov
ernment and a full legal tender for every
kink of indebtedness.
Itetolved, The immediate railing iu
of all United States bonds as they be
come due, and payment of the same,
principal and interest, iu legal tender
lawful money of the United States,
and that such legal tender money shall
be kept as a circulating medium among
tbe people, never to be converted into
bonds of any kind bearing nny rate of
interest.
Resolved, That the . depreciated cur
rency now known as the greenback,shall
be withdrawn from circulation and a
full legal tender jwper money substitut
ed therefor.
HesotvfJ, That whenever it ia deemed
promotive of the public interest, we fa
vor the government issuing to auy
State an amount of legal tender, law
ful money, not to excel one-twentieth
of the assessed value of the property of
such btate.the money to be refunded at a
stipulated time, not less than ten years,
witu interest at the rate ot two er
cent. er annum, the KUtto loaning the
same to the people individually for
sherter periods at three per vent. jer
annnm, well secured by real estate.
J'esolvfl, That the genius of our in
stitutions declare that the burthens
and blessings of the government shall
be equally borne and enjoyed by the
whole people, then-fore we favor equal
taxation of all property, bonds or other
obligations representing a recognized
value, when iu the hands of private
owit' t-.J, no matter lv what authority
issue. 1.
licitolc&l, That the ivcent act of Ctn-
gress known as the "Silver Bill" is an
unwise and unequal concession to the
biill'OiiUts, an unjust discrimination in
favur of cold, providing- no relief to
the iiulutrrassed industries of the coun
trv, and financial delusion and a de
ceptive device to strenghten tho metalic
chain that binds the laboring and tax-
paying people to the money power.
Resolved, The law that allows uuutn
ited importation of servile Mongolians
to this country is productive of incalcu
lable social evils, present and prospect
ive, and demands immediate and ap
propriate legislation to properly restrain
the same.
Resolved, That intemperance, from
the use of intoxicating drinks, too often
characterize our public servants in high
and low places, fostering crime and cor
ruption, therefore we will support no
one tor ontce whose general character
for sobriety does not furnish a safe
guarantee against the indulgence of this
prevalent and demoralizing habit,
Therefore we are in favor of the Iocal
Option Law.
Resolved, t hat we favor a reduction
of the present fees of Clerk and Sheriff,
and a rigid economy in every depart
ment of our public afiairs.
Retolved, That good roads are essen
tial to the development of our State,
the comfort, convenience and prosperity '
of the agricultural dags, theretore we
favor a law levying tax upon the assess
able property, including a poll tax, to
be applied under proper restrictions to
the improvements of roads and high
ways instead of optional labor as now.
Resolved, That we lavor a law that
will reasonably restrict exorbitant rail
road tariffs and reimburse those whose
property is damaged and destroyed by
compelling the railroad corporations to
fence their railroads in certain places or
be amenable to a legal judgment by
serving notice upon any of its agents
where the damage occurs.
" Resolved, That a large proportion of
our most productive lands are rendered
useless for want of thorough dra;nage,
therefore we favor a law that will au
thorize any person or persons who de
sire to drain their lands to enter upon
any adjoining lands and construct the
necessary ditching for such drainage at
the -expense of the owner of such ad
joining lands, allowing such damage as
may be assessed by a commission ap
pointed by the court.
Resolved, That we cordially invite all
who are in sympathy with these pro
gressive reforms to unite with us and
work for their accomplishment inde
pendent of all party considerations.

FRIDAY MAR. 29, 18T8.
(Prom our regular correspondent)
WABI.TO IETTKH.
Washington, D. C,
Editor iJtrnocrat:
The means, manner, and methods of
collecting news in Washington aro vile,
vicious and various. The most success
ful reporter is the most successful spy.
The "newspaper man" that can garble
in gossip till he gets the grain of truth,
and then outrun gossip to the wires, is
more valuable to his patr than the
uilder of sentences weighty with
thought and resplendent with wit. The
average retiorter is a yeung man of vast
and varied misinformation and large
mental requirements, but " he knows
die ropes," and lias the cunning to hold
his tongue. This last accomplishment
endears Lira to Cabinet officers, Sena
tors, and heads of committees, the
original sources of intelligence on sub
jects purely political. An executive
session in the Senate is held with closed
doors, aud every precaution is taken to
revent the publicity of its proceedings,
but the Argus of the press is there in
spirit, if not in eorpore, and more than
one gravo Senator is noting the words,
actions nay, the very looks of Lis
peers, in order that he may pander to
what Bismarck lias called the lust for
journalistic sensation. It is the same
way with the closed doors of Congres
sional committees and Cabinet councils.
Be they ever so hermetrically sealed,
their detailed proceedings will be known
and discussed by .the farmer, the me
chanic, the tradesman, and their wives,
in the four quarters of the Union on
the fallowing morning. The ubiquitous
reporter has shelved the mysteries and
mystifications of diplomacy among the
curious but not venerable historical
relics, belonging to an era of govern
ment for the good of the governors, and
to an era of censorship of the press.
True, the press is not now without cen
sorship, but it is as broad as its circu-
ating area, while the mass meeting and
the polls have lifted diplomacy above
the intrigues of a few privileged or ac
credited individuals, and infits,-1 it into
politk-s.
These sojnewbat trite n-lU-ctious hate
been suggested by the secttu:le of a re
porter who is accused of such prac
tices as crawling under a be.l (this was
before he had grown so fat) to overhear
the secrets of statexni.-u walk riu
arm the length of Pennsylvania Avenue
with tho most popular candidate for the
Presidency at the late Cincinnati Con
vention. Nut that it is intimated either
party was disgraced by the association,
nor is it designed to point the text that
a man is known by the company he
keep-, (only a half truth, by-the-way,
and one that would condemn Jesus
Christ) nor yet to point to the intimacy
.....
01 newspaper men autl politicians as
a sign of social degeneracy ; for, in this
last case, it might be difficult to tell in
behalf of which guild to protest. The
kings and courtiers of past times fur-
ulsh wide margin ior example. The
demigods of history and their families,
if we only knew it, were more offensive
to high heaven. How would they have
appeared under the calcium light criti
cism of 0,000 newspapers 1
The reporter is a phenomenon worthy
ot study, lie calls faimseu and is
pleased when he is so called a journal
ist. But what be writes is not litera
ture. The moment he attempts to get
beyond narrative and vulgar facts, he
flounders in vile and vapid expressions
of a human want of understanding.
What he writes will not live, at least
not in the form he leaves it. To-day it
appears in the ostentation of head-lines,
to-morrow it is waste paer; but, mean
while, it has passed through the refinery
of the editorial room and become a part
of the chronicle ami philosophy of the
time. C. A. S.
Profound thinkers are sometimes so
absorbed by their thoughts as to forget
what is passing around them. The
storv is a familiar one of Sir Isaac
Newton, whose frugal dinner was eaten
by a hungry visitor, but who thought,
from seeing the empty dishes, that he
had dined. Socrates, tlie famous pml
osopher at Athens, had his moments of
utter oblivion of ordinary lite. One
morning, when in camp at Potidaca, he
fell into a trance. The soldiers gath
ered around him in large numbers, won-
derinc at his appearance; but he did
not notice them, nor even the noon
tido heat of the sun on his bare head.
The evening drew on without any
change in the posture of the philosophr r
and a great crowd gathered around him
spreading their pallets for the night to
watch him. Through the cold night he
stood, still lost in thought, and only
when the sun rose again over Mount
Athos did he start from his strange
absorption, and return to the duties of
the camp. .During twenty-tour tours
he had been wrapped m mediation
wholly unconscious of the hundreds uf
curious eyes fastened on him.
William Shaw, a convict at Jeliet,
111., has baffled a court. He had been
stabbed by a fellow-convict, and when
the latter was brought to trial refused
to testify against him. The court could
not commit him for contempt because
he was already a prisoner, and so that
was the end of the case.
TO THE ClBM.
from Join Billing. Cerreeted.
Dear girls, are you in search of a
husband) .-
That is h bumper,- and you are not
requested to say "Yes" out loud but are
xpected to throw your eyes down onto
the earth, as though you were looking
for a pin, arid reply to the interrogatory
with a kind of drawling sigh.
Isot to press so tender a theme until
it becomes a thorn in tbe flesh, we will
presume, to avoid argument, that you
are on the lookout for something in tbe
male line, let me give you some small
chunks of advice how to sjwt your fu
ture husband :
1. The man who is jealous of every
little attention which you get from some
other fellow, vou will find after vou are
married to him he loves himself more
than he does you, und what you took
for solicitude, yon will discover bas
changed to indifference. Jealousy isn't
heart disease, it, is a liver complaint
2. A mustache is not indlsiiensable;
it is only a little more hair, und is much
like moss and other excrescenses often
does the best on soil that won't raise
anything else. Don't forget that those
things which you admire in a fellow be
fore marriage, you will probably dislike
in a husband after, and a mustache will
get to be a very weak diet after a long
time.
3. If husbands could be taken on
trial as cooks are, two-thirds of them
would probably be returned ; but there
don't seem to bs any law for this.
Therefore, girls, you will see that after
you get a man, you will have to keep
int even if you lose on htm. Conse
uently, if vou have cold victuals in the
house, try him on them once in awhile
tiring scouring season, and if he swal
lows them well and says he wiil take
some more, he is a man, who, when
blue Monday comes, will wtish well.
4. Don't marry a man w ho is al
ways telling how his mother does things.
It is too hard to wean a young one.
5. 'If a man can beat you playing on
piano; and can't hear a fish-horn play
ing on the street without turning a
summersault on account of the music
that is in him, I say to leave him, he
might answer to tend baby, and if you
set him hoeing out in the garden, you
will find you have got to do it yourself.
man whose whole heft lies in music,
and not so hefty at that, ain't no better
than a seidlitz jtowder; but if lie loves
to listen while to it sing some gentle bal
lad, you will hud him mellow and not
soft. But don't marry anybody for just
one virtue, any quicker than you would
fio;t a man for just ece fault.
0. It is one of the toughest things
r female to be an old maid success
fully. A treat many have tried it, and
made a bad job of it and had a hard
im. Kvft-yUody seems to look upon
il I maids just as they do upon dried
herbs iu the garret handy for sickness
and thsvefore, girls, it ain't a mistake
that you should be willing to swap your
self off with a true-hearted fellow for a
husband. The swap is a good one, but
don't swap for any man who is respect
able just because his father is. You
had better be an old maid four thousand
years and then join tbe Shakers, than
to buy reiieutanco at this price. ?n
woman ever made tins trade who duui t
get either a fool, a mean cuss, or

there are more of them.

t'LEOPATKA'S NEEDLE.
An effort is to be made by the Brit
ish government to transport the famous
Cleopatra's Needle to England. This
lure curiosity is thus described in
London Times:
It is a fine monolith of red granite,
sixty-four feet in length and seven feet
in diameter. Its weight has been vari
ously estimated, but the maximum
given is two hundred ana eiguty-lour
tons. It now lies prostrate and paral
lel to the sea, at a distance of twenty
four feet, on a sandy bank fifteen feet
high, with nothing between it and the
water save a ruined sea-wall
Tbe hieroglyphics are in good preser
vation, and record that the obelisk was
erected at (Heliopolis, near Cairo), by
Shothmes II., about 1500 B. C, during
whose reign Egypt is recorded to have
"placed its frontiers where it pleased."
The lateral inscriptions record the same
and the title of Rameses II. (known to
the Greeks under the name of Sesos
tris), and relate how he had conquered
all the nations of the world.
It is worthy of note, too, that the
Isarelites were inEgyptatthe time of the
construction of this monument. It is
said to have been brought to Alexan
dria in the beginning of the Christian
era Various schemes have been sug
gested for the removal of the stone, but
the most feasable seems to be construc
tion of a jetty to deep water, so as to
convey it along an inclined pine of
beamst o a raft, on which it might be
secured and towed to England in the
summer months.
Sence the above was written this
famous "Needle" bas bee transported by
sea to London.

, It is more prevalent during the spring
and fall than at other seasons ; the rea
son is, that changes of temperature are
then more suddon and frequent. There
are persons who have lived many years
in lever and ague districts without hav
ing had the disease. With proper eare
and attention all might avoid it. An
ebservance of these simple rules would
generally ward off the disease.
Avoid exposure to the damp air of the
early morning and the early evening, ex
cept when exerei.-ing, and then do not
remain in the open air to cool off. Avoid
great fatigue; sleep eight hours out of
twenty four. Be sure that the water
used for drinking and cooking is per
fectly pure. Wear fiaanel undercloth
ing at all seasons. Keep the feet warm
ad dry.
To cure the fever and ague, take
twelve grains of quinine at one dose,
about an hour liefom the chill is ex
pected. J ust one week from that boar
take another twelve grains of quinine.
The disease will seldom return. This
is the dose for ail adult. Children
should take smaller doses according to
their age. The reason that decided
doses cure fever and ague seems to be.
that the disease receives a shock which
breaks it Small doses of quinine only
hold it in check during the time the
medicine is being regularly taken ; as
soon as it is susjieuded tbe disease gen-
rany returns, yience the popular no
tion that quinine only feeds the disease.
The fault is not with the medicine, but
the manner of administering ! it
While we do not believe in eneourairins
the employment of medicine, we ate
bound to say that quinine, heroically
administered, bas proved the only dead
shot for fever and ague ia our practice.

TREATMENT )F SMLS.
How many unhappy jjirls have iiaid
dearly for the -early upbringing ef their
yeung husbands, who, the first glamour
of love passed, treat their wives as they
were allowed to treat their sisters, and
they saw their fathers treat their
mothers, carelessly, disrespectfully, with
a total want of that considerate tender
ness which is worth all the passsionate
lore in the world. This, tbaugh they
may muster outside as excellent bos-
bands, never doing anything really bad.
and possessing many good and attract
ive qualities, yet contriving somehow
quietly to break the poor womanly
heart, or harden it into that passive ac
ceptance of pain which Is more fatal to
married happiness than even temporary
estrangement Anger itself is a safer
thing than stolid, hopeless indifference.
The best husbands I ever met came
out of a family where the mother, a
most heroic and self-denying woman,
laid down tbe absolute law, "Girls first;
not in any authority, but first to be
thought of as to protection and tender
ness. Consequently, the chivalrous care
which these lads were taught to show to
their own sisters naturally extended it
self to all women. They grew tip true
gentlemen generous, tanexacting, cour
teous of speech, and kind of heart In
them was tbe protecting strength of
manhood which scorns to use its strength
except for protection ; the proud hon-
ty of manhood which infinitely prefers
being lovingly and openly resisted to
being "twisted round ones finger.

Jrxack eyes indicate powers of r.hvs-
ical endurance, but they are choleric.
aud may be, though not always, treach
erous. Gray oues denote quickness of
temper and desire for novelty. Hazel
belong to shrewd natures, and such as
delight in intercourse with friends.
Clear blue eyes are associated with a
love of change and progress. A mixed
or indeterminate color of eye may be
taken as evidence that the individual
is a poor judge of shades and hues, if
not quite color-Llind. The organic
cause of black eyos i that the sclerotic
membrane or outer covering is most
tensely drawn. This may be, and has
been, demonstrated en tbe eye of a
newly-killed ox, which is rendered black
by tightening this membrane. Black
eyes are universal among the natives of
hot climates ; blue and gray are found
in cold and temperate regions, where
the blood of various races has mingled
by intermarriage. The result of such
mixture is that relaxation of the sys
tem which produces the blue eye and
light colored hair. Intellectually the
effect is to produce progressive nations;
and, as a rule, blue-eyed people are
more disposed to change, progress and
intercourse than those with black eyes.

that this kind never get there.

Husbands, if you wish to preserve
the happy, smiling face yea thought so
beautiful at the marriage altar, from
wrinkles and premature age, do not fail
to clean your feet before coining into the
house; put your boots in the proper
place instead of leaving them in the
middle of the floor; hang your coat
away instead of throwing it off en
chair, and place your hat on the rack
instead of tossing it on the tete
table.
