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. Dr. Hall s Journal. ALBANY, OREGON, II TV rOl'NTY CKEEJBAt K PlATrSatM. 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.

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 clown for a husband. Iu digging down into this subject I hint the digging goes harder the far ther I get. It is much easier to infirm you who not to take, for the reason there are more of them. I don't think you will follow my ad vice if I give it ; and I keep it, for look upon advices as I do upon castor oil a mean dose to give and a mean e to take. But I must sav one tiling, cirls, or spoil. If vou can find a bright- eyed, well-ballasted boy, who looks npon poverty as saucy as a child does upon wealth who would rather sit down on the curbstone in front of the Fifth Av enue Hotel, and eat a ham sandwich than to go inside and run in debt for his dinner and toothpick and who is man with that sort ot pluck tliut mis takes a defeat for a victory, my advice is to take him body aud soul snare him at once, for he is a stray trout, a breed very scarce in our waters, lake him, 1 say. and build onto him as hornets build on a tree. , - 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. NO. 34. rSTEB AM AtlCK. , 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. itaut Journal of Ueailh. 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.
