And to that end I am requested to address you this note.

Oh - The difhculty has boen solved at last and the afflicted public breath freer. The Kiro Suwo has at length been un 0orfV.ri -orfi, .,.i.i j wuiutu un vmiiij uuuiilo&CUj UilU LUC panicky public relieve their distressed fooling n The announcement in Saturday's &'ar that the "Kiro Siwo'-' was about to swallow up Jud-e Russell hada tor- rible effect upon such of us as were left here for M,p smmnrr. Afnn wnmon nnrl children, everywhere were terribly ex ercised about it, and the enquiry at every pojnt, on ail the street corners and at the verv church doors. "Have - - ' - v4 VIA lliU V you heard anything more from the Kiro Siwo?" ' The greatest trouble be- ing the fact that no one could locate it and whether it was a comet without a tail Qr a taij Avitll0ut a comct no one ' i seemed ablc to determine. A rush was 1 made for th olB.ce,but it was de- uno- forlorh, ana there was lu.-i.g there.

Telegraphic dispatches were ent out in everv direction, and at last the light ning brought a solution. The Japan nese government (which is. by the way, a little profane at times), stated that the Kiro Siwo was a current prevalent on its own coasts, and the especial proper ty of the? Japanese government, and therefore they could not see what in the li-11 it liskd to do with Judge Russell's election.- llow to liecome Muscular Some Clinnfes of Solid Wisdom lieffard inff Health. In considering the training which a prizefighter goes through to bring him up to that splendid physical, condition Pwhich fits him for die severe tet of muscle and endurance in the ring! the Chicago Tribune draws a moral for the benefit of mankind generally who are seeking to cultivate their health. While with all the doctoring and the drugging and the flocking of the multitudes of men and women to the mountains and the seaside, or across the ocean, to build up their systems;' these means fail, in ninety-nine casffs out of a hundred, to produce the desired result, we find that the professional bruiser in a couple oi months will transform himselt into a marvel of physical perfection. 'The process," says the Tribune, "never fails. The, trainer of the prize fighters knows more' than' the doctors. His patient eats mutton and beef without season ing of any sort, tea without sugar and dry toast.; He makes him get up cany in the morning and go to bed early at ' . t nibt. He gives him plenty oi exer- cise. Hc has no pharmacopia to go to, no; prescriptions to write. He uses nothing but nature's medicines, and he? uses them with unerring accuracy, li the bruiser has a weak spot he strength ens it. He goes over his man as a tuner oes ovc a piano, and brings every note 8 I into perfect tune. If he has not flesh j enough he f uts more on him; if he has too much he takes some off, and he per forms this operation with such accura I cy that he will take off the same amount eTery day, and upon the day of the fight will present his man weighing within an ounce of a specified number of I pounds. One of the bruisers whom our reporter saw weighed four wTeeks ago 168 pounds ; on the day of the inter- yiew he weighed 138. The other bruiser weighed the same amount four weeks ago; when., our reporter saw him 4ie k weighed 135. The reduction had been made gradually, but with diurnal -ex- kaetness. Now. what is good for a brui ser is good for those who are not brui sers, if they have the courage and per sistence to follow the regimen, which of eourse, can be regulated to suit each case. Here is a chance for the over- worked to be made good as new at a verv cheaP rate-, Th clergymen need no more to S lo Europe after their nealtl1- at men neea no longer to oe fat ; lean men have some hopes of cloth- in& Jheir ribs more comfortably. They have onlv to rntrh nlivsie to the dors and take the bruisers' remedies modified . j- .j- c-, to suit their cases." There are some chunks of solid wisd om in these observation, and they are applicable not only to the male adult, but also to the growing boys, who are j I'll r . l r i tit io maKeuie men oi the luture. ve have before remarked that the tendency to athletic jculture is increasing among our PeoPle- and lor tne Yery rcason Inawt 13 aoinS so tne spirit deserves to be encouraged and prompted to greater development. But it is still entirely too mucn me lasnon, wnen a ooy pines ana mopes and seems to be losing his strength , to call in a doctor and have him drench ed with drugs, under the supposition that he is suffering from some specific discase that medicine is required to re move. I'robabJy in a majority 01 such cases the correct remedy would be plenty of fresh air, rough exercise, and simple food. Particularly is this true of the ambitious toysj who have been working hard for a high standing and i-iing the 2ast nitie mofltns and now are entering on their summer vacations. Very likely they are tired and worn down, but itis.not physic that js need ed to set them up again. They want to be toughened in the sunshine and the open air, by r out-door life and plenty of use of their limbs. We arc ' too much in the fashion j of running to a "doctor and the druggist when nature of fers the speedy and permanent cure, and in this respect we can learn a val uable lesson from tho heroes of the ring. Baltimore American. Here is something . from the JRock of Beanti that is strictly local hero as else where. Women should read .at : " A handsome leg is a rarity, we hatl almost said an impossibility, among American women. The reason of this is the place where they wear the garters. No French women, no English; women of cultiva tion now-a-days weais her garters below f her knees. It is ruinous to the shape oi the calf. More than this, it has serious, cou -cucnccs of another kind. The oriu -ipe vein of the leg, vena ?aplirena brev. runs just beneath the skin until it m .rly reaches the knee, when it sinks beucaih the muscles. iNow, it this is obstructed at its largest point b a tight garter, the blood is checked in its return to the heart, the feet are easily chilled, and more liable to disease; the other veins of the leg are swollen into hard, blue knots, become varicose, as it is called, and often break, forming ob stinate ulcers. This is a picture which a physician sees every day. With the garter fastened above the knee, all this pain and deformity is avoid, but it is still better to wear no garter at all, and to suspend the stockings by tapes a round the waist. In this case, however, a well-fitting stocking is needed.'' 1 A Washington correspondent, speak ing of the witty men of the House, says that the gentleman swinging down the siJe aisle, dressed in a gray business suit, with a scarlet necktie, a sallow skin, dark, round, and rather sunken eyes, thin, dark hair-cut like the Prince of Wales' children, and banged across the forehead like Sadie Matilda's, is the new member from jNew Jersey, Wil liam Walter Phelps,of Englewood. He looks as Swinburne might, or Joaquin Miller, as a Bohemian does; yet withal, like ofg nMeman. He s a lucky fellow; he is young, rich,! educated, with a bright wife and a wonderful boy.
