THE new Congo State, which is here­ after to be administered under the aus­ pices of the King of the Belgians, is about to commence business. He has settled $300,000 in perpetuity upon tlie State to tbr^vide for the expenses oftlie administration. The association has also made treaties with no less than 450 Chiefs, whom it has had to subsidize, but Chiefs come very low in that region, as the entire subsidy is only $20,250, equal to $45 per Chief. In considera­ tion of the subsidy each Chief agrees not to interfere with the navigation of the river, if he has any disputes with his neighbors to submit them to arbi­ tration, and to be hospitable to all trav­ elers who have the association's pass. The income of the hew State is expect­ ed to comefrom export duties and the rents of lands 4eased to traders and others.

The first is when two people of no genius or taste for themselves meet, upon such a settlement as has been thought reason­ able by parents and conveyancers, from an exact valuation of the land and cash of both parties. In this case the young lady's person is no more regarded than the house and improvements in the purchase of an estate; but she goes with her fortune rather than her for­ tune with her. These make up the crowd or vulgar of the rich, and fill up the lumber of the human race, without beneficence toward those below them or respect to those above them. The vexatious life arises from a con­ junction of two people of quick taste and resentment, put together for rea­ sons well known to their friends, in which especial care is taken to avoid (what they think the chief of evils) poverty, and insure them riches, with every evil besides. * These good people live in a constant constraint before com­ pany and too great familiarity alone. Whan they are within observation they fret at each others carriage and be­ havior; when alono they revile each other's person and conduot. The happy marriage is where two persons meet and voluntarily make choice of each other without principal­ ly regarding or neglecting the circum­ stances of fortune or beauty. These may still live in spite of adversity or sickness; the former we may in some measure defend ourselves from; the other is the portion of our very make. ^ £v.

The effect Was wonderful. I slept soundly the whole of the first night, and have never since, except When feverish, been so wakeful »s I usually was before. Although feathers are excellent to prevent the dispersion of the heat of the body, so much fault has been found with leather beds that they have quite generally gone out of use, and it is strange that feather pil­ lows have not been sent after them. Feathers in pillows are open to the same abjections as feathers -in beds, and even their chief virtue, that of keeping up a high temperature, is a de­ fect in a pillow; certainly when one- half of the head isr kept at blood heat by being buried in feathers, and the other half is exposed to tbe air, both halves cannot be at the most favorable temperature. A hair pillow does not get warmed up to an uncomfortable degree, because it rapidly conducts away the heat imparted to it by the head. Sinoe hair pillows are not yet in common use, it might be supposed that a person accustomed to the use of one would either have to take it with him every time he was to be away from home for a few nights or suffer consid­ erable inconvenience. But fortunately hair bolsters are more common, and if the pillow is thrown aside the bolster will raise the head probably as high as is-good lor the sleeper. If a hair bol­ ster is lacking, the end of the mattress may be raised high enough to make a comfortable head rest by putting the pillow under it. According to most, but not all, medi­ cal writers, wakefulness and mental ac­ tivity depend upon the circulation of a large amount of blood through the brain, and the flow of blood must be lessened before sleep can come on. I have obtained especial bene tit by draw­ ing the blood into the muscles by means of a brisk walk or a quarter to half an hour's vigorous performance of light gymnastics just before going to bed. The majority of cases of sleep­ lessness occur among persons who use their muscles but little, and for very many taking more exerciso is the best remedy. Sleep can sometimes be brought on by simply worming the body, especially the feet; the drowsi­ ness caused by sitting in a warm room is a familiar instance. The blood may be drawn to the skin by a cold shower or sponge bath, followed by rubbing with a coarse towel. Getting out of bed a few minutes when the air is cool, will often bring relief. I have lain awake half the night, and then, after being up long enough to mix and drink a lemonade, have fallen asleep at once on go ng back to bed. Perhaps the lemonade should have part of the credit On hot summer nights a cold bath will reduce the bodily temperature; so as to admit of sleep. If the skin is not wiped quite dry, the evaporating moisture will increase the cooling ef­ fect A light lunch just before going to bed relieves the brain by drawing the blood to the stomach, and the in­ clination to doze alter a meal is ex­ plainable in this way. Diminishing the cerebral circulation by compression of carotid arteries is advised by some physicians. Lying on the back * with a double pillow placod against the back of the neck so as to tip the head for­ ward will effect this, and Dr. J. L. Corning has invented an instrument in. the form of a. collar for this same pnr- pose. In view of what has been said about the circulation of the blood, coldness of the feet is a natural accompaniment of sleeplessness, and one mean 3 of cure may be made to serve both ends. Bath­ ing the feet in hot water is such a means, but after a few hours a reaction is liable to set in, which will send the blood from the feet to the head and cause the sleeper to wake. It is better to take advantage of the reaotion which follows a cold foot bath with vigorous rubbing of the feet, both in the water and with the towel. The stimulus thus gifen to the circulation in the feet will be more permanent I have found walk­ ing just before bedtime beneficial, and when I do not want to go out of doors I raise myself sharply on my toes to the full stretch fifty or more times. A par­ agraph has already been in circulation to the effect that a continuous low noise favors sleep; the sound of water dropping on a brass pan has been pre­ scribed by a physician with good effect. The explanation seems to be that a sim­ ple monotonous impress on quiets the bra'm by occupying it, to the exclusion of more varied and interesting, and therefore stimulating, impressions. On the same principle are the devices of counting forward or backward, im­ agining sheep jumping one by one through a gap, etc.; but they are open to the objection of causing one portion of the brain to be exerted in order to control the rest of it •» If the hygienic measures which have been described fail to induce 6leep, probably some form of disease stands i<> the way, and a physician should be employed to discover and remove it Soporific drugs should be regarded as a last resort, for, unless skillfully used, they produce a stupor rather than a refreshing sleep. Do not take a nar­ cotic or nostrum st random because somebody says it is good to make you sleep; one narcotic is injurious where another is beneficial, and the chances are that you will choose one which will do you more harm than good.--New York Sun.

Not long ago a lady left a Paris hotel at or about the Bame time that the clock which ornamented her room left also. The landlord pursued her, caused her arrest, and dragged her into court, where she was accused of stealing the clock.- Although justly indignant at such an accusation, the lady, strong in her integrity, asserted her innocence in such a convincing way that the mag­ istrate was on the point of discharging her when she unexpectedly struck 12. The strokes came from the neighbor­ hood of the bustle, and as tbe lady could not prove that Mature had pro­ vided her with a striking apparatus she was searched and the missing clock discovered. This pleasing and affect ng incident will, it is hoped, suggested to dress­ makers the propriety of utilizing the waste space now occupied by the bus­ tle. A small clock capable of striking the hours and half-hours could be easily carried by any woman in the locality in which the Parisian lady car­ ried her ill-gotten clock. Women in­ variably miss railway trains and all manner of appointments for the reason that they have no means of telling the time and nothing to remind them of its flight It may be said that women wear watches.

We borrow itiauy things from England far worse than anything in­ digenous here. I was recently talking to a broken-down man in th|s City who inherited some thousandn of pounds, and with a portion of it bought a place in a British reg ment. That was a few years ago, before the buying of com missions had been abolished.^ He was recommended to buy a lieutenancy in a yery stylish regiment, in which one of the British princes was the nominal Colonel. He had to pay high for the place, and then the acting Colonel presumed to make suggestions to hini,which were in the light of orders. He told him, for example, that there were three horses he oould sell him which he ought to have. Of course he bought the horses at several times their value, and they proceeded to eat their heads off. And then, whenever a ball was given in honor of Lady Shoepeg or Lady Shoofly, the Colonel notified the officer that he was expected to take so many tickets, and contribute so much. Ho was then i&vited to gamble, and to refuse would have been to appear juvenile, and perhaps lose the Colonel's regard. So he gambled. This did not evliuust his money fast enough, and he was next shown a great point on the stock exchange. Next he made a match with a woman of title, gave her olahorate presents, and about the time he was drawing near the end of his purso she ran off and married a fellow officer, who was com­ ing into something as the phrase goes. So the young man sold his commission and started for one of the British col­ onies, where he found the opportune ties for starving so good that he ap­ peared in New York city with another wife whom he had married for revenge, and a broom, and he was sweeping out a stone on Broadway. This is a good deal like some portions of New York club life, with the omission of the faot that the young man never gets as high as the broom.--Geoxye Jljred XftU,vi ChlldrenN Food. ; Some people think it perfectly right that children should be made to eat everything that is set before them, but in carrying out this singular theory too often the gravest ^injury results.* An eminent city clergyman told me that the mere sight of liver cooked in any form made him ill. When quite a lit­ tle felldw his stern father, who was one of the sort that would permit no "non­ sense," as he expressed it, with regard to children's likes or dislikes as far as food was concerned, insisting that they should not exercise ony taste or choice in the matter, required him to eat some liver which had been put on his plnte. There was something about the partic­ ular piece of liver that set the child against it, but he was forced to swallow the repulsive morsel, and ever since his stomach has rebelled even at the thought of the gross piece of tyranny which was practiced upon him. It is a sound rule for all of us that with re­ spect to food our likes and dislikes are the best guide as to what is good for us, and it is safe to eat upon the plan that whatever we relish will prove on the average harmless and wholesome, and whatever produces disgust will prove, as a general thing, indigestible; A recent writer on this point has fully expressed my opinion in Raying that "nothing can be more wrong than to make children eat fat, for example, when they don't want it. A healthy child likes fat and eats as much of it as he can. If he shows signs of disgust at fat that proves him to be of a bilious temperament, and he ought never to be forced to eat it against his will. A good many of us have disordered diges- tione in after-life simply because we were compelled to eat rich food in childhood which we felt instinctively was unsuitable to va."---Exchange. Scientific Education Promotes Truth. Scientific education is a training in mental integrity. All along the his­ tory of culture from savage to modern civilization men have imagined what Ought to be, and then have tried to prove it true. This is the very spirit of metaphysio phvlosophy. When the imagination is not disciplined by unrelenting facte, it in­ vents falsehood,, and, when error has thus been invented, the heav­ ens and the earth are ransacked for its proof. Most of the literature of the past is a vast assemblage of arguments in support of grror. In science noth­ ing can be permanently accepted but that which is true, and whatever is ac­ cepted as true is challenged again and again. It is an axiom in science that no truth can be so sacred that it may not be questioned. When that which has been accepted as true has' the least doubt thrown upon it, scientific men at once re-examine the subject. No opin­ ion is sacred. "It ought to be" is never heard in scientific circles. "It seems to be" and "we think it is" is the modest language of scientific literature. In science all apparently conflicting facts are marshaled, all doubts are weighed, all sources of error are ex­ amined, and the mo t refined determin­ ation is given with the "probable error.' A guard is set upon the bias of enthus­ iasm, the bias of previous statement, and the bias of hoped-for discovery, that they may not lead astray. So, while scientific research is a training in observation and reasoning it is also a training in Science Monthly. €•*. few* m.

Before these in­ dictments were returned Gen. . Hatch and several prominent citizens of Arkansas City were before the Grand Juty and gave their testimony. Prior to thu time District Attorney HaUowell was in reoeipt of a letter from Attorney Gen­ eral Garland, at Washington, upon him to at onoe proceed against the colonists and prosecute them so far as possible un­ der the law. The point by which it is hoped now to hold and convict the men is that, by remaining in camp at Arkansas City, they were "inciting and assisting in rebellion" in opposition to President Cleve­ land's proclamation. It is a fact that the men did remain in camp as charged, and it is also a fact that some of them used harsh language in their denunciations of the interpretations of the law which kept them from entering the Oklahoma when cattle barons and stock- were not only allowed to but were protected after they got Dist Atty. HaUowell, in con­ versation to-day, said that he had but one course to pursue, and that w.vs to carry out the instructions of the - Attorney General. He had written Atty. Gou. Garland that information had been received that the colonists had left Arkansas City? and inas­ much as it would entail upon the depart­ ment heavy expense if the men were ar­ rested and brought to Topeka he should wait for further instructions before having the indictments pushed. He believed, however, that the final result would be that Capt Couch and ten or a dozen of the leaders of the movement would be arrested, brought to Topeka, given a hearirg, and placed under bonds, and that the remain­ ing indictments would be held over. This to him seemed the best thing to do in the present situation of affairs. CATTLE INTERESTST i&W lands men enter, there.

Aiz- puru surrenders unconditionally, and, together with his followers will retire from the city. According to the treaty agreed" upon, the city, together with all revolution­ ary armament, will be delivered over to the Government troops under the command of Col.

Until the reorganiza­ tion of the Stite Government all political offenders will receive a full pardon except­ ing those implicated in the recent Colon incendiaries. These latter will be appre­ hended and tried as criminals. A Washington dispatch states that Secre­ tary Whitney is not disposed to criticise Admiral Jouett for his course at Pnnnma. He says that the instructions of the Ad­ miral were not to interfere in the local government or any established order of thiugs except so far as might be necessary to protect American citizens and American property from violence; that when Admiral Jouett saw that barricades were in process of erection in the streets, which were a certain indication of impending mob vio­ lence, he very properly took practical pos­ session of the town and prevented an out­ break and protected the interests which he was sent there to serve; but, those barri­ cades having been removed and order hav­ ing been restored, he with equal propriety withdraw the marines to their ships. convention." saye.

Pillsbury and Troup to 'strengthen the party,' thereby brilliantly exhibiting the foolishness of professional politics?" The Boston Advertiser, speaking of the appointments of Pillsbury and Chase, says: "The appointments of Internal Revenue Collectors for Massachusetts and Maine made by the President yesterday are as bad as they could be, Onless he had chosen men convicted of crime. Pillsbury's record of consistent antagonism to the efforts to sup­ press the rebellion, and the notorious par­ ticipation of both in the scheme by which it was attempted to steal nn election, are not the whole of their disqualification for service under an administration which pro­ fesses a motive of progress and reform. Neither of them, in his political career, has been so much as named in connection with any action which looked to the better and more honest methods in politics. Theyare devotees of the old spoils system, and are held in such disesteem that neither of them in the State where they are both best known could command the full vote of his party for any office. They have been useful in such ways that it would be extremely un­ wise to expose either of them to the fierce light of a popular election. Their selection for honor by the Democratic administration is a blunder of large proportions, signifi­ cant of an essential weakness." The selection of Pillsbury, and Chase may be included also, was a direct defiance to the ordinary decency and self-respect of every man in New England. If Cleveland had scoured the political slums he could not have fouud more offensive representa­ tives than these upon whom to bestow offices of honor and trust. And yet we are compelled to listen to the reiterated twaddle about this reform administration! It is time to stop it. It is becoming nause­ ating. If Cleveland actually believes that these men whom he has been appointing recently are not offensive partisans, but men of spotless virtue and Official integrity, he is not fit to be President. If he does not believe it, then let his friends acknowl­ edge that he is carrying out the doctrines of the spoils system and give us a rest on this "reform" humbug.--Chicago Tribune Whisky and Democracy. The vast majority of the consumers of whisky in this country are Democfnts. Out of every ten persons who die from whisky nine are Democrats. Republican^, as a rule, if they drink at all, drink wine and beer, containing but little alcohoL It is the 40 per cent, of alcohol in whisky, added to the poisons with which whisky is adulter­ ated, which sweeps off the Democrats in such frightful numbers. Measuring the 7,000,000 voters in the North by the figures which the statisticians give us of the num­ ber of deaths from whisky every year, it is within bounds to say that three-fourths of 1 per cent., or 57,000,' perish annually, of whom 52,000 at least are Democrats, leav­ ing a gross Democratic deficit or party loss of votes every year of 47,000; or at every Presidential election a loss of 188,000 sent to their graves by whisky. This of itself will suffiee in large part to explain the mys­ tery why the Democrats, who gain so large­ ly on the Republicans from European emi­ grants, still make no headway on them in the aggregate results of the elections ip the North.--Chicago Tribun.\ Democracy's Repudiation of the Bine. We have contended that (he Democratic administration is doing light by giving the South the lion's share of office and patron­ age, inasmuch as that section was the main factor in bringing Democratic victory. We say so still. But, it is, after all, unfortunate for that party that in giving out favors upon that footing, loyal men who served in the Union army must give place to ex rebels who wore the gray, for this one thing will go very far toward again solidifying the North against the South, and with a solid North, a solid South is powerless. Call this "waving the bloody shirt," "opening old wounds" or "digging up dead ana buried issues, "if you please,but let the Dem­ ocratic party favor the gray above the blue and it will feel I he keen blade of retaliation from the North at the very first opportunity.

Beyond New York is the West, and here in the West, where the eye can range over boundless prairies thick with thriving farms and dotted with great and growing cities, the blessed thought that m all the broad expanse from the Allegheny Mountains to the Rockies there is not one single Mug­ wump, induces iu us such a spirit of pro­ found gratitude that it is impossible for disaffection to exist with it in the heait of the Western Democrat.--St. Louis Rtpub- licau (Dem.).

War on the Colored The administration has commenced its warfare on the colored men in the depart­ ments. Several messengers have recently been removed and ex-Confederate soldiers, not Southern colored Democrats, put in their places.--Washington telegram. A MISSISSIPPI patriot of the Southern, stripe has made formal application to Cleve­ land for the pardon of Jeff Davis, and in the course of his appeal says: "The Soulh- ern people trusted you. Mr. President, and their power was felt, and they will call you blessed if you grant this petition." This is a neat way of reminding the President that he owes his present position to the ex- rebels and that they accordingly expect him to do their bidding. Why not? He lowered the iiags to half-mast in honor of Jacob Thompson and named an unpardoned rebel to one of the highest offices in his gift, while his Attorney General virtually decided that tne fourteenth amendment is null and void! It would be only going a stap further to pardon Jeff Davis and give a banquet in his honor at the While House. The South­ erners naturally expect something of the kind, and the application for the pardon of Jeff Davis has no doubt been made in the belief that it will be granted. Mr. Cleve­ land, however, has doubtless heard some­ thing about the effect of laying on the last $t:aw, and may possibly refuse this last de­ mand. ________________ i ' DTTRINO the war, in reply to the remark of a Union paper tint the name ot Abraham Linco n would shine in the country's his­ tory, u Democratic editor retorted:" "Yes, it will shine and stink and stinK and shine like a rotten mackerel in the moonlight."
