Promising; Prospect for the Nicar

New York. July 22. The Pan
ama Mar aud Herald of July 5th
savs :
According to late advices re
ceived from Nicaragua the outlook
for the canal seems brighter now
than at any pieviou time; but
people are not saii-fled at the
cham-e of permanency, as there
has been so much chiily-shallying
previously that seeing will haidly
be believi g ior home. Tbepaperi
we, however, observe, are making
much w ind on account of tbe suj
den influx of engineers.
A tremor ot unrest seems to
pervade the political sphere of the
Kepnblic of Nicaragua. In some
(marten is is assumed that Dr.
Sic;rEa has from the first intended
to return lo power if necessary,
and he has certainly gone the
rijdht way aliO'.it it. It is generally
bel eved, however, that it wou.d
be better for ihe country if the

t'RAMBr.RLAIN. 6. D., July 22.
Judi;e Haney, oi this district, sus
taiuined his temporary injunction
closing the original pa -kage houses
oi this citv. The grounds given
or the decision are that the enabl
ing: act admitting Soutn Dakota to
statehood, authorised tbe enact
ment of a prohibition clause m the
State constitution. Such enabling
act having been passed by con
gress subsequent to the passage of
the interstate commerce law,
therefore the prohibition law re
ceived the sanction of congress,
and the sup-erne court dec sion
does not, therefore, apply to South
D-kota.
This brings up a new question,
which will be carried up ana
which, if sustained, will be of great

CYCLING AND PHYSIQUE.
Danger to Young; People In Exces
sive Wheel Exercise.
In the current number of bin
quarterly journal, the A sclent ad,
Dr. B. W. Richardson, himself an
enthusiastic cyclist, presents an
article on "Cycling and I'htsique."
He recommends that cycling tie
delayed by young folks until the
body is approaching to its : aturi
ty. He admits that cycling tends
to induce a certain amount of de
rangement of the conformation of
r he framework of the body; Every
kind ol riding which tends to throw
the body forward in a bent or
curved posi'ion, in s temporary
-toop, will in time produce a fixed
bend or stoop. The large musclee
in be fore mrt of the thigh are
a p', ai -", to receive uudue devel
opmetit. On the other band, he
never knew cramp or spasm ss a
'lirect result ol working tbe ma
ohitte? nor sprain, unless in case
of eolbek ne or falls.
Competitive cycling he justly
condemns. The "proper method o.
riding in to walk ascents, and al
ways to walk steep ascent-, when
the healthy condition of body in
cident to pedes1 rian exercise is
sustained. Dr. U.chanison's ow n
experience is tnat ior every eight
nili e of distance traversed in con
ioiinity w ith health it. is wise to do
ne mile on foot. In a ride of fifty
utiles iu a day six at least should
be done on foot. He uttei s a warn
ing to thote who exhaust their
capital stock of vitality by compet
itive racing; that there is no goiig
back for more capital, no making
up no, not even by rest for tbe
prime loss from tiie original capac
ity. The most and best that can
be effected ie to keep on, with a
measure of the original store of
energy dissipated forever. Cham
