WHY SHOULD WE WALK?
Although intelligent people admit
tho fiict that walking is netci'ssary to
tho preservation of Tioulth, and is un

walking is better than carriage or
horseback riding, than running, jump

gain the utmost possible benefit from it.

is tbo more to be doplorcd because
ladios bave both leisure and opportu

penalty must sooner or inter be paid.
Nature is inexorable, and appoints to
every offence against her statutes a

this is not all. Not only in natural,
unrestricted walking, one set of muscles
urges one leg forward, while another
set pushes the other leg back, and oth

part of the trunk from one side to ihe
other as tbo body advances, but still
other muscles sway the arms slightly

maccics. in tact, noarly every muscle
of the head, trunk, and limbs partakes
in the action ol walking, epeomlly
when one has an agreeable companion,
so that the talking tongue, the smiling
luce, and the gestures ot the hands sol
in motion a vast nuinbor of othor little
muscles.
Whon we inquire into ihe crTuct of
all of this, we learn that the norvous
system of the body is closely inter
woven witb the muscular system or
apparatus : that motion is lite to both,
and stagnation is doalh. The nerves
cannot be set In motion unaidod by
the muscles, and without a nervous
motion the various functions of liie
cannot bo carried on. Thus, we can
not breath without both nervous and
muscular motion ; we cannot think
without both forces combined and
that every one may nnderstand thii, I
will state that the blood vessels, ab
sorbent and gland duels have muscular
coats, and the skin a muscular sub-
stance: and as these venous parts,
witb othors, onler into tbo composi
tion of the bralu wi therefore can
not think without muscular as well at
the nervous motion. t

previously accumulated in too groat

smaller muscles now set In molion by
tht) larger ones call for their share oi
blood, and sinoo whon that life current
Is supplied it is found to be loo much
decarbonized from previous sluggish
action ol the lungs, or from breathing
the same air ovor and over, tho lungs
are now set In powerful oporalion by
their nervous' and muscular forces to

rapidly flowing, vilalzied blood Is ea

life, only partially eliminates Ihe our

We all know bow brilliant and
blooming a healthy boy or girl will
look on coming in from a good brisk
walk ; bow vivacious thoir spirits are
then, how every little care has van
ished, and they are "childishly happy."
, This effect is commonly attributed
to thoir youth, which is truly the chief
cuuso, since in youth the body is still
growing, its nerves and muscular force
still in molion, and one inspiration of
pure air into their lungs is sutllcient
to oxygenize all their blood and stim
ulate all their vital forces to action.
Their hardly formed bodies are con

It is a sad fact that most middle
igcd people have so accustomed thoir
extcrnul and internal muscles and
nerves to torpidity that tho functions
of lifo sro very imperfectly carried on;
the organs of nutrition and absorption
act very feebly, so that but a small
portion of tbo food supplied is used,
and Ibe rest, remaining unassimilated,
acts as an irritant and clog upon ihe

TEE CAUSES OF INDIAN WARS.
JA Truly Bemarkable Prophecy.
'Among civilized men war usually
springs from a sense of injustice. The
best possible way, then, to avoid war,
is to do no aot of injustice. Whon
we learn that the samo rule holds good
with Indians, the chief difficulty is
removed. But, it is said, our wars
with them bave been almost constant.
Have wo boen uniformly unjust? We

enstny be pushes his enmity to the
excesses of barbarity. ' This shocks
the moral sense and leaves bim with
out defenders. '
If Ibe lands of the white man aro
taken, civilization instifios bim in re
sisting the invader. Civilization docs
more than this; it brands bim a cow

the savago resists, civilizstlon, with
the ten commandments io one hand
and tho sword in tho other, demands
his immediate extermination.
Wo do not contest tho ever-ready
argumont that civilization must Dot
be arrested in its progress by a hand
ful of savages. Wo earnestly desire
the speedy sottlement of all our Tor
rilories. None aro more anxious than
wo to see thoir agricultural and min
eral wealth developed by an industri
ous, thrifty and enlightened popula
tion. And we fully recognize the fact
that the Indian must not stand in the
way of this result. Wo would only
be understood as doubting the purity
end gonuinenoss of civilization which
reaches its ends by falsehood and vio

fort. Ilo, too, assured the Indians of

men, women and children. It was
here, under the pledgo of protection
that they were slaughtered by the
Third Colorado and a batlallion of
the First Colorado Cavalry under
cemmnnu ot t;oionel Chivington. lie
marched from Denver to Fort Lvon.
and about daylight on tho morning of
iiiu iuiu oi iuveraiier, surrounded llio
Indian camp and commenced an indis
criminate slaughter. Tbo particulars
of this massacre are too well known
to be repeated hero witb all its heart
rending scenes. It is enough to say
that it scarcely has its parallel in the
records of Indian barbarity. Floeing
women, holding up their hands and
praying for mercy, wero brutally shot
down ; infants were killed and sculped
in derision ; men were tortured and
mutilated in a manner that would put to
shame the savago ingenuity of interi
or Africa.
No one will beastonishedthst a war
ensued which cost the Government
thirty million dollars, and carried con
flagration and death to tho border sot
lloments. During the spring and sum
mer of 1865, do less than eight thous
and, troops were withdrawn from the
effective force ongagod In suppressing
the rebellion to meet this Indian war.
The rosult of the yoar'i campaign
satisfied all sensible men that war with
Indians wag both useless and expen
sive. Fifteen or twenty Indians had
been killed, at more than a million
dollars apiece, whilo hundreds of our
soldiers bad lost their lives, many of
our bordor settlers butchered, and
much properly destroyed.
., If it be said that Ihe savages are
unreasonable, we answer, that if civ
ilised, they might be reasonable. At
least they would not be dependent on
the buffalo and the elk ; thoy would
no longer want a oountry exclusively
for game, and the prcsonco of the white
muu asould become desirable. If it
be said because thoy are savages they
should be exterminated, we answer,
that, aside from the humanity of the
suggestion, it will prove exceedingly
difficult, and, if money considerations
aro pormittod to woigh, it costs loss
to civilizo than to kill.
To say that no oulragos were com
mitted by the Indians would bo claim
ing for liicm more than can bo justly
claimed for tbe most moral and ro
ligious communities. Many bad mon
are found among tho whites; they
commit outrages despite all social re
straints ; thoy frequently, too, escape
punishment. Is it to be wondered at
that Indians aro no bolter than wof
Let us go to our bost cities, where
churches and ichoul houses adorn

too, is it found impossiblo to discover

these things, war should bo waged

To maintain poaco with the Indian,
lei tho frontier settlor treat him with
humanity, and Railroad Directors see
to it that he is not shot down by em
ployes in wanion orueliy. In short,
If settlers and Railroad mou will Ireul
Indians as thoy would troot whites,
undor similar cirounistanoes, we ap
prehend but utile trouble will exist
Thoy must aoojuuint tbemsclvoa with
the treaty obligations of the Govern,
mont and respect them aa the highest
law of tho land. Instead of regard
ing the Indian as an enemy, lot them
regard bim as a friend, and they will
almost surely receive his friendship
and esteem. If they will look upon
him as an unfortunate human bolng,
deserving their sympathy and care.
instead ot a wild beast to be leared
and detestod, them their own hearts
have removed the chief dungcr.
Aside Irom extermination this is tho
only alternative now left us. We
must tuko tho ssvage as we find him,
or, rather as we buvo made him. We
bave spent two hundred years in cre
ating tbe present stato of things. If
we can civilize in twoniy-nve years
it will be a vast improvement on the
operators of tho past. If we attempt
to lorcc tho Older Indians from the
chase, it will involvo us in war. Tho
vounirer ones will follow them into
hostility and another generation of
savnges will succeed. When the buf
falo is gono tbo Indiana will cease to
hunt. A few years of peace and tho
game will have disappeared. In the
meantime, by the plan suggested, we
will have formed a nucleus of civiliza
tion among the young that will re
strain the old and furnish them a homo
and subsistenco when the game is gone,
The appeal of these old Indians is
irresistublo. Ihey say, "Wo know
nothing about agriculture. We have
lived on gume since infancy. We love
the chase. Here are the wide plains
over which tho vast herds of buffalo
roum. In the spring they pass from
south to north, and in the full return,
traversing thousands of miles. Where
thoy go you bave no settlements; and
if you bad, thero is room enough for
us both. Why limit us to certain
boundaries beyond which we shall not
follow tho game r If you want tbe
lands for settlement, come and settle
them. We will not disturb yon. You
may luim and we will bunt, lou
love tbo one, ice love the othor. If
you want game we will share it with
you. If we want bread, and you bave
it to sparo, give it to us: but do not
spurn us from your doors, iio kind
to us and we will bo kind lo you. If
wo want ammunition, give it or soli il
to us. We will not usu it to hurt vou.
but pledge you all we bave, our word,
thai at tho risk ol our own we will
defend your live."
If an Indian is to be trusted at all,
lie must be trusted to tho lull extent
of his word. If you betray symp
toms of distrust bo discovers it with
nature's intuition, and at once con
demns the falsehood that would blond
friendship and suspicion together.
Whatever our pooplo may choose to
say of tho insincerity or duplicity of
too inaian, would luii to express the
estimate ontcrtaincd by many Indiuns
of the while man's character in this
respect. 1 romiaes have beon so often
broken by those with whom thoy usu
ally come in oontact, cupidity has so
long plied its work deaf to their cries
of suffering, and heartless cruelty has
so frequently sought them in tho garb
ul chanty, mat to obtain their confl
donco our promises uiut bo icruuu
lously fulfilled and our professions of
irienasmp aivobteo oi an appearance
oi seinstiness and duplicity.
Naturally, the Indian bus many no
ble qualities. He is the very ooibodi
mcnl of courage. Indeed, ot times,
ho feels inaensiblo of fear. If be is
cruel anil revengeful, il is becauso he
is outlawed, and his companion is tho
wild beast. Let civilized man be his
companion, and the association warms
into lite virtues Of tho rurest worth
Civilization has driven him back from
the homo lie loved ; it has often tor
tured and killed bim, but it never
could make him a slave. As wo have
had so little rerpvet fur those wo did
enslave, to be consistent this element
of lndiau character should challenge
some admiration.

earnestness and determination. He
goes on an orrand of vengeance, and
no amount of blood satisfies hint, it
may bo bocauso, with him, nil wrongs

and indeed in tho same spirit with

that he never accepts capitulation al

Under this head, Dr. Hall, in his
Journal of Health, humorously dis
courses on tbo tendency of tbo timet
as loiiows :
It is really a great wonder that
o very body is not deud and buried, and
tho world itsolf usod up entirely, if
the thousandth part of what is told us
about microscopical and other "dis
coveries," so called, is true. Ono mnn
will havo il that the glorious Lmon
ovor which the stripes und stars flout
so proudly will soon become depopu
lated, becauso respectable poople don t
have chiidron ; another has discoveree1
myriads of bugs in tho chatelaines
and waterfalls of tho ladies, boring
Into their skulls and sucking out aii
the remaining brains of the dear do
iigblfuls. A German saixin now lolls
us that every sip ot toa we take is full
of oily globules which got into the
lung direct, wenken them, set up a
cough, and the porson dies of consump
tion. Another man has found that
tho purest spring water, clear at cry,
tal to all appearance, if lot alono will
deposit a sediment which generates
typhoid fovor; hence he proposes that
everybody shall quit drinking wntor.
Another says that bread has so much
li mo in it that it is turning us all to
bono, and mukes us stiff in tho joints,
that being tho reason we have no litho,
sprightly old men nowadays; honce
we aro full of limps and rheumatics
long before our timo, thereforo wo had
better quit eating bread altogether,
and live on rice and sago and tapioca.
Tbo water cure folk assure us thai
pork snd beans and ham and eggs are
full of abominable trichina, and that,
if one is swallowed and gets fairly
nestled into the systom, he, she or it
will breed a million more in a short
time, and that roast beef has juvenile
tapo worms in it. And here come
Tom, Dick, and Hurry, all in a row,
loaded down with microscopes and spy
glasses which show as plain as day
that tho air Is swarming with living
monsters and putrid poisons, which
fly into tho mouth and crawl np tho
nose and creep into Ibe ear; hence il
Is death to brealho such pestilential
air, and that the best way is to keep
the mouth shut, plug up the noso, and
ram colton into the ears.
Evor so many learned professions
gentlemen havo been torturing poor
ngures ior yours io niuko them tell
the stupendous fib that everybody is
cither cruzy or soon will bo ; that the
annual increase is ten per cent., con
scquently in eleven years everybody
win do crazy, ana moro loo.
Tho fact is that the people who
spend their timo hatching out those
tomfooleries, ought to be put lo work
anu ue made lo earn an honest living,
This world has been pretty well taken
cure of for some thousands of years,
increasing in comfort and wealth and
lifo, tho average length of which lust
has doublod within two centuries, and
Ihe population peihnps increased three
fold ; und tho presumption is that tho
ureal Alakor ol all will so arrango all
the antagonistic forces uf lifo for the
future us eventually to make "the
wildorness and solitary placo to be
glad, and the desert to rrjoico and
blossom as tho rose," and the race be
happy still.

Saratoga and Alonruoulh I ark Associ
atious, tbo six-year old weight, which
used to bo 118 pounds, being reduced
lo 114 pounds, which is now tho ruaxi
mum weight. Thero is no doubt thai
Ibe chango will be beneficial ia one
respect, as tho old horses formerly
had a great disadvantage. But il
would have been a wise step for tho
associations to raiso tho scale of
weights all through, so as to obviate
the difficulty which exists of procur
inggnod ridors. Tho weight for Ihree-year-olds
in the purse races is only
ninety pounds, fur too small, and il ia
of course next lo impossible to got a
good rider at this weight. Tho mania
lor fast lime is one reason for the low
scalo, and there can bo no objection to
having it raised. A three-year-old
that cannot carry 100 pounds two
miles is not worth tho expense of
training.
Not taking into account the four

:: AQUEDUCTS, "
Tbe construction of artificial chan
nels for tbe convoyanoe of wator dates
far back in antiquity. We find evi
dences of thoir exintonco among near
ly all nations. In the roign of King
Solomon capacious roservcirs wore
constructed from which water war
carried fix mllos by an aquodoet to'
Jerusalem ; and it Is said that such id
thoir present state of preservation,
that this city still rocoives a large sup
ply of water from ibis source. . Jrr
Mexico, during tho reign of Monlezumc.
an aqueduct, many miles in length,
furnishod water lo the capital, and it
ruins tostify to its ancient magnitudo
and grandeur.
Tbo most rcmarkabto aqueducts on
record, oilhor in respect to thoir length,
tbo difficulties attending thoir construe
linn, or tho vast expense thoy In
volved, aro those of the lucas oi Peru.
Thesa sagacious rolers woro oompollod
to adopt this course for the purpose
of ferlalizing thoir bsrroti and sandy .
territory, which was unproductive
without artihoial irrigation, ibeso
aqueducts wore Bovcral hundred milo
in length, and anmo portions necessa
rily built upon tho slopes of the Andes.
Those portions often required tunnels
which penotrutcd the solid rocits, ana
again were earriod over wido chasms,
compelling tbo erection of walls of -solid
masonry, which had to bo con
structed without thoussislanco of ihoso
labor saving appliances tbst modern
mechanical genius has invented. Even
tho use of steel or iron tools was then
unknown. These- aqueducts were of
massive blocks of hewn stones, nicely
adjusted to each other without any ce-
mout, with the mubuing ot which ibo
I'eruviuus were entirely unacquainted.
1 he most eclehruted ol these aequo-
ducts extended a distance of between
four and fivo hundred milos, and bear'
the mosl remarkable evidence of tho
energy and prcsevcrance of this poo
plo. We find authentic records of
similar structures, hough of far mora
limited proportions, in Egypt and in
babylonia, but our information respect
ing tbem is too meagre and unsatis
factory to justify more Ihun a passing
notice.
But no nation of ancient or of mod
ern times, even with all tbe advnutago
advanced scienceand mechanical inven
tions havo conferred, have excelled tho
Romans in tho wonderful skill and in
genuity which their aqueducts show.
Historical evidence establishes the fact
that not less Ihun twenty -four of theso
structures, varying in length from teu
to sixty-tivo miles, conducted water
ir.to the city of Rome. Though their
knowledge of civil engineering, com
pared with modem attainments, was
very aciroumscribed, they yot readily
overcame all the difficulties which
natural impediments presented. Be.
ing unacquainted with ihe manufac
ture and uso of tho strong motalio
pipes now employed by nteunsof which,
ravines and rivers uro crossed, by de
scending on ono sido and ascending oa
the other, tbey woro compelled to
construct their conduits upon grades
of easy and regular deconls, otherwise
tho presstiro of heavy columns of Wa
ter would seriously endanger if not
destroy them. On account of tho cir
cuitous routs which, for this reason,
tbey were frequently forced to follow,
their aqueducts, wero of much greater
length than modern scienco would
bave indicated. Ono of theso, stylod
tho New A nio, extended moro than,
sixty-three miles, and in consequence,
of the depressed stato of tho territory
ovor which it passed, six and a half
miles wero supported on an uninter
rupted lories of urches, many of which
wero ono hundred foet in height.
Another, tho Aqua Martia, was thirty
eight miles In length, in the construc
tion of which seven thousand arches
were required. Hard burnt brick on.
polished and delicately adjusted stonay
work, imbedded in cement, were used
in the construction of theso water
courses. The quantity of water sup
plied to the citizens of Rome by these
stupendous works Is without a paral
lel in modern limes. One ancienl
writer, in his enthusiasm, declared
that whole rivers flowed through the
streots of Homo. To an estimated
population of 1,000,000 citizens, not
less than 50,000,000 cubic feet of water
were daily supplied, or moro than 800
gallons tocach individual. The I'.o roan,
people built other similar structures
in various portions of their possessions.
One, at Metz, in Belgio uaul, is re
ported to havo cxcello I iti magnitudo
und grandeur even thoso which sup
plied tho capital. In modern Europe
wo find many works of this descrip
tion worthy of note, particularly in
Turkey and Spain, but the most de
serving of mention is that constructed '
by Louis tho XIV., ut Versailles.
The bridgo by which it is supportoj
is pronounced by engineers one of tho
most splendid triumphs of modorn art.
It is about forty-four hundred foot In
length, more limn two hundred in.
height, and rests upon three liors of
arches, ono upon another, each tier
comprising two hundred and forty,
two nrchoH, with a space of filty feet.
This aquoduul is sixty miles in length,
passes through forty-livo tunnels, and
has the capacity lo dischurgo 108,000
gallons of water per minute.
Among tho moro modern aqueduct'
which can now bo found in almost
every cily of any magnitude, thoso of
Now York, Philadelphia, and Boston
are noted. The oily of Boston ia sup
plied by Luke Cochiluate, which cotii-
firehcnds a water area of nearly seven'
tundred aeres, and Is distant about
twenty-three miles from Ihe reservoir
in East Boston. This is capuhlo of
supplying 10,000,000 gallons every
twenty four hours.
Now York City is supplied from the
Croton Hivcr, which, ut tho point
where tho aqueduct starts, is distant ,
