JfflXHTK. KeDlscaata Upon Railroads ttd Rail- ro Briers. Perhaps there is nothing in the line of discovery and improvement that has, shown more marked progress in the last contury than the railway and its different auxiliaries. When we re­ member that much less than a centtrry has passed since the first patent for a locomotive to move upon a track was issued, where now we have everything that heart can wish, and, in fact, live better on the road than we do at home, with but thirty-six hours between New York and Minneapolis, and a gorgeous parlor, bed-room, and dining-room be­ tween Maine and Oregon, with nothing missing that may go to make life a rich blessing, we are compelled to express our wonder and admiration. To Peter Cooper is largely due the boom given to railway business, he hav­ ing constructed the first locomotive ever made in this country, and put it on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The first train ever operated must have been a grand sight. First came the locomotive, a large Babcock fire- extinguisher on tracks, with a smoke­ stack like a full-blown speaking-tube with a frill around the top; the engineer at his post in a plug hat, with an umbrella over his head and his hand on the throttle, borrowing a chew of to­ bacco now and then of the farmers who passed him on their way to town. Near him stood the fireman,-now and then bringing in an armful of wood from the fields through which he passed, and turning the damper in the smokestack every little while so that it would draw. Now and then he would go forward and put a pork-rind on a hot box* or pound on the cylinder head to warn people off the track. Next comes the tenderloadedwit.il nice, white birch wood, an economical style of fuel because its bark may be easily burned off while the wood itself will remain uninjured. Beside wood we find on the tender a rainwater and a tall, bio: wicker-work around it, a small sprig of tansy gallons of New Engl; engineer has brou; in case of accidi in preparing vance. Next plug h; nim. frocj shir ends o ing brfcfg use gaged t in ad- KM" akeman in a too large for "a long-waisted nstle to it and a tall a table-spread tie, the utter gayly in the morn- As the train pauses at the fH'sJfstation he takes a hammer out of jjkie tool-box and nails on the tire of the fore wheel of his coach. The engineer gets down with a long oil-can and puts a little sewing-machine oil on the pit­ man. He then wipes it off with his sleeve. It is now discovered that the rear coach, containing a number of directors and the division superintendent, is missing. The conductor goes to the rear of the last coach, and finds that the string by which the directors' car was attached is broken, and that, the grade being pretty steep, the directors and one brakeman have no doubt gone back to the starting place. But the conductor is cool. He re­ moves his bell-crowned ping hat, and, taking out his orders and time-card, he finds that the track is clear, and, look­ ing at a lurge, valuable Waterbury watch, presented to him by a widow whose husband was run over and killed bv the train, he sees he can still make the next station in time for dinner. He hires a livery team to go back after the directors', coach, and, calling "All aboard," he swings lightly upon the moving train. Jk is now 10 o'clock, and nineteen weary miles still stretch out between .him and the dinner station. To add to the horrors of the situation, the front brakeman discovers that a very thirsty boy in the emigrant car has been drink­ ing from the water-supply tank on the tender, and there is not enough left to carry the train through. Much time is consumed in filling the barrel again at a spring near the track, but the con­ ductor finds a "spotter" on the train, and gets liim to do it. He also induces him to cut some more wood and- clean out the aslies. The engineer then pulls out a draw- head and begins to make up time. In twenty minutes he has made up 'an hour's time, though two miles of hoop- iron are torn from the track behind him. He sails into the eating station on time, and, while the master mechanic takes several of the coach-wheels over to the machine-shop to soak, he eats a hurried lunch. The brakeman here gets his tin lan­ terns ready for the night run and fills two of them with red oil to be used on the rear coach. The fireman puts a fresh bacon-rind on the eccentric, stuffs some more cotton batting around the axles, put8 a new lynch-pin in the hind wheels, sweeps the apple-peelings out of the smoking car, and he is ready. Then comes the conductor, with his plug hat full of excursion tickets, orders, passes, and time-checks; he looks at his Waterbury watch; waves his hand, and calls "All aboard" again. It is up-grade, however, and for two miles the "spotter" has to push behind with all his might before the conductor will allow him to get on and ride. Thus began the history of a gigantic enterprise which has grown till it is a comfort, a convenience, a luxury, and yet a necessity. It has built tip and beautified, the desert. It has crept beneath the broad river, scaled the snowy mountain, and hung by iron arms from the canon and the precipice, carrying the young to new lands, and reuniting those long separated. It has taken the hopeless to lands of new hope. It has invaded the solitude of the wil­ derness, spiked down valuable land- grants, killed cheap cattle and then paid a high price for them, whooped through valleys, snorted over lofty peaks, crept through long, dark tun­ nels, turning the bright glare of day suddenly upon those who thought the tunnel was two miles long, roared through the night and glit­ tered through the day, bringing alike the groom to his beautiful bride, and the weeping prodigal to the moss-grown grave of his mother. You are indeed a heartless, soulless corporation, and yet you are very essen­ tial in our business. Funny Little Romans. Harry, aged 5,- had never happened to see the moon in the day time. He came down to breakfast shrieking with laughter. "Why, Harry, what's the matter?" inquired his mother. "Oh, mamma," said he as soon as he could speak, "I've got such a joke on the Lord; he's forget to take his moon in.'" One mother, in a despairing tone, asked: "Where do children leara slang? I didn't suppose my 4-year-old Helen had ever heard such words in her life, but the other - day site came in look|fig Itk® a chernb, and asked me for a cooky. I told her she could not have one until meal time. She looked up and said.: "That's a mean skin. Cant a kid have a cooky ?" Florence, aged 4, demanded as her perquisite the wishbone of every fowl brought into the house. One day she was carefully arranging her collection when her father came into the room. "Fader," she said, looking up--"Fader, is you doin' to die?" "Why, yes, Florence, we must all die some time," he said touched by her earnest look. "Fader, when you does die, may I have your wishbone ?"--Jjiome Sentinel. ,, Marriage and Business, Marriage a fiords a sufficient, satisfy­ ing, and ennobling end for all business endeavor. When the end of business life is self it debases manhood and pro­ duces a creature of avarice, sordid, and groveling, whose thoughts are materi­ alized, whose tears of sympathy are frozen, whose feelings are fictitious. The beneficent end of business life is seen in the change which the purpose of marriage brings in the lives of young men. It is sometimes observable twenty-four hours after betrothal, so wonderful is the transforming power of a purpose on life when love lies like a palpitating heart in its bosom. The loss of gallantry among young men is an injury to business. It *is an ominous departure when they would rather go in gangs by themselves thaA in the companionship of young wem^u. The fact is but too apparent '* ** morals will not endure Tippling, doubtful action are restrain not often ove business triuMf^^^^^^^^^^Hansnre hours wiiU^^^^^^^^^^m^rhere suring sight n and maidens e house of God. It means of saving multi- ng man, have your own pew sitffligs in the church, and bring with you, like a man, the woman you espect. Feel it a pleasant duty to erve these conservators of society, whether you may be in love with them or not. Treat your mother and sisters with all the gallantry of the one you love. It is a greatful and pleasing thing to any woman to receive this at­ tention, and it is manly and noble to give it. Be gallant; it is right, it is manly, it is a debt you pay, and will pay with interest in the end. Marriage is related to the reverses of business life, for business and what we call prosperity are not now the same. Adversities are often the best part of business. A man is not often on a safe business foundation until he has been truly crazed by disaster. Then comes the power of home life. Then the wife, often like a tug, takes the whole family out of the breakers into the broad sea of prosperity. A man will come home in financial disaster, often sorrowing most as how the wife will take it, and when he gets there he will find that she is the better man of the two, and girds up her loins and his, too, and is at it again to repair the lost fortune. The business of life is not so much in making money as in getting to be bet­ ter, and in helping others to be better --in getting rid of sinful habits, and in going on to Heaven. It is here that married life is the mightiest force for good, except good itself. If a man have a Christian wife her prayers and entreaties are keeping him from hell. Her prayer grip is holding him up from the pit. How she has besought and stormed the very gates of Heaven for him! O let her lead Where she is wisest and best! Let marriage install each in that church which the apostle says "is in thy house." Seek the king­ dom of God, and when sorrow comes, which is an inevitable segment of life, man and wife will be brought into a unity that prosperity never gives. Very sorely they weep together over little graves. And if they must part, the bitterness is mitigated in the fact that love leaves its last kiss, and love gives its tribute of tears at the grave.-- Christian Advocate. Mi T, R:- a Colaborer with Man. ° Two difficulties lie at the root of wo­ man's success as a colaborer with man. The first is her lack of training; the second her lack of permanence. As a rule, woman is not educated with a view of any special trade or profession. She drifts into it. Men expect their daugh­ ters to marry. The daughters expect it. But so long as women numerically exceed men, the problem of woman's support cannot be solved by marriage. Even when a woman's necessities com­ pel her to become self-supporting, she does not lo*k upon it as a permanent thing. When she marries she drops it. She does not look upon a trade or a profession either as a life work. There­ fore, her heart is often not in her work. She looks upon it as a makeshift--a stepping-stone to something better. Of course there are honorable exceptions-- whole-souled, hearty, enthusiastic wo­ men, who throw themselves into their work, whatever it may be, either from a genuine taste for that work or from conscientious motives. And such wo­ men make a success of their work--be it culinary, domestic, literary, or artistic. Many a woman fails through timidity. She is conscious of a strong leaning toward some vocation; it may be a serv­ ice, a trade, or a profession. But she is held back by custom, propriety, the restraints of family, her station in life, what the world will say, etc. Custom has a powerful influence over woman. She is still in swaddling bands. We are not speaking of lawless endeavors, but of lawful channels, opening a little out of the beaten path. That one wo­ man should run a saw-mill in Florida, and another navigate a steamboat in Louisiana, seem anomalies; in one in­ stance a thriftless husband, in the other a defunct spouse were the instru­ ments which set these two plucky fe­ males afloat. Many women are capa­ ble of carrying on their husband's busi­ ness, not only with the hand, but with the head. They have tacc, thrift, judg­ ment, probity m their favor.--Corre­ spondence Philadelphia Times. Central Park. Central Park, in New York City, was the first, public pleasure ground of the kind in the United States, and was first proposed in 1850 by a gentleman named Downing, a landscape painter and writer on gardening. It was planned by Messrs. Frederick Law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux, whose propositions were accepted April 21, 1858. This park is one-half mile wide by two and one-half yiiles long, divided into un­ equal parts by the Croton reservoirs, and containing 843 acres. Twenty years ago the greater part of it was a mass of rude rocks, ash-heaps, and broken-down shanties, but to-day it is considered one of the handsomest parks in the world. „ A BOOK of etiquette lately published in Paris says that no modest girl will shake hands with gentlemen. City of Cain. The signs of the zodiac have come down to us from the very earliest times. We know now, from a very valuable tablet in the British museum, that the Chaldeans received the names and the signs of the zodiac from people still more ancient than themselves. The sign of the third month, as with our­ selves, is the "sign of the twins," the gemini, but the Chaldean word by which it is known means "the month of brick making." At once the meaning and the sign are connected by the Bi­ ble narrative, which associates the building of the first city and the mur­ der of his brother by the man who built it. This notion is far too un­ natural to have any origin other than historical. The murder of a brother and the lmilding of a city are two thoughts too far apart ever naturally to have come together. It could only have been an actual occurrence which brought them into coincidence. Not only do the zodiac sign of the third month and its Chaldean name bear witness to the truth of the biblical nar­ rative, but, as M. Lenormant has pointed out. the voice of this witness is heard speaking often from the earliest histories of most peoples, just where the phantom forms of myths begin to mix with the more solid personages who people the domain of lustory; there you often find a city founded by a hero who had taken his brother's life. Rom­ ulus killed his brother Remus as he laid the foundation of mighty Rome. Similar stories are connected with the foundation of the Temple of Capitoline Jupiter, and of the citadel at Argos. But all these stories are more or less enveloped in the garments of myth. But read the same history, only put at a date still further back than any of them, at a time so far off, that, in such dim distance, how the eye can see the clear-cut lines of the transactions, not confused and distorted and mystified, is altogether a marvel* and how it came to pass that this, the oldest document in the world, is so matter-of-fact, so meager in its details, and yet so full in its suggestiveness, and so completely answering the intention of the inspired writer of Genesis, is a standing wonder. All who compare this document with those which have been preserved for us from times hoary with antiquity, can­ not but conclude that here we have an unvarnished tale of actual occurrences. A Wood Shot. "Game used to be thick near Toledo," remarked an old citizen: "I have heard so." "Yes; there were lots of deer and ducks and squirrels. Why, Capt. Huntley shot seventeen squirrels off one tree on the east side of the river, not far from where the brickyard now is. Old hunters did not think it much of a trick to shoot three or four deer or 100 wild ducks in a day. Right down there, where Point Place Club House stands, I shot two deer with a rifle at one shot. If a fellow had no meat in the house, all he had to do was to pick up his rifle and go out for an hour or two and shoot all he wanted. And fish! Why, I have seen the spawn of whitefisli roll up along the shore of the lake until it was at least two inches deep. You don't see that now. White- fish have been pretty well cleaned out of the lake. "Out where Fitch lived I saw a man shoot four rabbits with a rifle at one Bliot, and down at Presque Isle a man shot eleven wild ducks at one shot. You see he got their heads in line and clipped the whole eleven of them as easy as rolling off a log." "That was doing pretty well," sug­ gested the scribe. "Yes, fairly well, but not as wall as old man Odeon did. You know Odeon Hall in this city and Odeon Island are called after him. He used to be a crack shot, and I was told of a shot he made that would make some of our modern-day hunters blow their bazoos for ten years if tliev would make such a one. But old Oaeon did not think it any great thing." "What was it?" "Well, he went 6ut hunting near the bay shore one day and came across a deer. He killed the deer. The ball went right tiirough it, killed a swan in the lake, and bored right through the heads of nine wild ducks. Now that was a shot. But Odeon could shoot; and please don't forget what I have told you about Odeon, when you hear these modern-day snipe and sparrow hunters blow about what they have shot "--Toledo Blade. Intellect of Fishes. I#. Charles C. Abbott, in a recent number of Science, tells the following story of some pike which avoided their cunning enemy. These pike had gone into a rivulet in search of minnows, but were cut off by a gilling net. The first pike was caught in the meshes of the net: "Straightway the others stopped as suddenly as they had started, and rec­ ognizing their fellow in trouble, 'took in the situation' at once. Each pike evidently realized the true condition of affairs, and reasoned thus: that pike tried to go through this obstacle in the water, and is in trouble; it is necessary for me to avoid it by some other means. There were five of tlipse fish that paused close to the net; and each acted, I believe, as it thought best. One of them came to the surface, and, after a moment's pause, turned upon one side, and leaped over the ' cork-line. Seeing the success to this effort on the part of one, a second did the same. A third came to the shore near where I stood, and discovering a nar­ row space between the brail and the pet, passed very slowly through, as though feeling its way, although the water was so shallow that its body was fully one-third out of the water as it did so. The others were either more timid or less cunning. They turned to go up stream, but being met by my companion, who was making a great noise by whipping the water, they rushed 'again toward the net, but checked their course when their noses touched tbe fatal net. Prompt action was necessary. They had not confi­ dence in their leaping powers, and both, as though struck with the same thought at the same moment, sank sud­ denly to the bottom of the stream, and burrowed into the sand, and beneath the lead line, which was in full view. In a moment they reappeared on tbe Other side of the net, and were gone." The author gives also a touching story of parental love in a catfish, ascribes "vocal powers" to the eel. and asserts that fish have cunning, fear, grief, ingenuity and anger, like other creatures. * \ THE living get credit for what they might be quite as much as for what they are.

A gentleman who baa spent tae summer abroad said to our reporter that the thing that lmjarcvaed him most of all was tho number of ho iilayn one encounters abroad, and the little aiiXteiy the peoplo display m the conduct ot business affaire. "Men boast here," he said, •that they work for years without a day off: in Europo that would be considered a crime. . Mr. If H. Warner, who was present at the time, said: "This is the first summer in years that I have not spent on the water. Been too busy." "Then I suppose yon have been advertising extensively?* "Mot at alL We have always heretofore c.osed our laboratory during July, August, and September, but this summer we nave Kept it running day aud night to supply the de- maud, which lias been three times greater than ever before in our history at this sea­ son. * "How do you account for this?" The increase has come from the uni»er$al recognition of the excellence of our prepara­ tions. We have beea n^ute ten years before the public, aud the saU^^re constantly in­ creasing while our news" toor advertising is constantly diminishing. " \{iv, high scien­ tific and medical autlioi,e_l now publicly concede that our Warn HlJ Vafe cure is the only scientific specific for'kidney aud liver diseases, and for all the many diseases caused by them." "Have you evidence of this?" "Abuiiaauce! Only a few weaks ago Dr. J. L. Stephens, of Lebanon, Ohio, a specialist for the cure of narcotic, etc., habits told me that a number of eminent scientific medicat men had been experimenting for year*, test­ ing and analyzing all known reniea.es for the kidneys and liver, for as you may bo aware, the excessive use of all narcotics and stimu­ lants destroys those organs, and until they can be restored to health the habits cannot be broken up! Among the investigators were such men as J. M. Hall. M. D., President of the State Hoard of Health of Iowa, and Alex­ ander Noil, M. D., Professor of Surgery in the College of Physicians and Surgeon's, and President of the Academy of Medicine at Columbus, who, after exhaustive inquiry, re­ ported that there was no remedy known to schools or to scientific inquiry equal to War­ ner's sale cure!" "Are many persons addicted to the use of deadly drugs?* "There are forty millions of people in the world who use opium alone, and there are many hundreds ot thousands in this country who are victims of morphine, opium, quin ne, and cocaine. They tlunk they have no such habit about them--so many people are uncon­ scious victims of these habits. They have pains and symptoms of what they call malaria and other diseases, when in reality it is the demand in tho system for these tern tile drug.*, a demand that is caused largely by physicians' prescriptions which contain so many danger­ ous drugs, and strong spirits, and one that must be answered or silenced in the kidneys and liver by what Dr. Stephens says is the onlv kidney and liver specific. He also say« that moderate opium and other drug eaters/if they sustain the kidney and liver vigor with that great remedy, can keep up these habits iu moderation." "Well, does not this discovery give you a new revelation of the power of safe cure?" "No, sir; for years I have tried to convince the public that nearly all the disease* of thi human system originate in some disorder or the kidneys or liver, and henoo I have logical­ ly declared that if our specific were used, over ninety per cent of these ailments would dis­ appear. The liver and kidneys seem to absorb these poisons from the blood" and become de­ praved aud diseased." _ "When these eminent authorities thus pub­ licly admit that there is no remedy like ours to enable the kidneys and liver to throw off the frightful effects of all deadly drugs and ex cessive use of stimulants, it is an admission of its power as great as any one could desire; for if through its influence alone the opium, mor­ phine, quinine, cocaine, and liquor habits can be overcome, what higher testimonial of its specific power could be asked for?" "You really believe, then, Mr. Warner, that the majority of diseases come from kidney and liver complaints?" "I do! When you see a person moping and groveling about, half dead and half alive, year after year, you may surely put him down as having some kidney and liver trouble " "The other day I was talking with Dr. Fow­ ler, the eminent oculist of this city, who said that half the patients who came to him for #ye treatment were affected by advanced kid­ ney disease. Now, many people wonder why, in m ddle life, their eye-sight becomes so poor. A thorough course of treatment with Warner's safe cure is what they need more than a pur of eye-gla^M*. The kidney poison in tho blood always attacks the weakest part of the body; with some it affects the eyes; with others ttio head; with others the stomach or the lutigs, or rheumatic disorder follows and neuralgia tears them to pieces, or they lose the powers of taste, smell, or become im­ potent in other functions of the body. 'What man would not give his all to have the vigor of vouth at conimaud?" "The intelligent physician knows that these complaints are but symptoms' they are not the disorder, aud they are symptoms not of dis­ ease of the head, the eye, or stomach, or of virility, necessarily, but of the kidney poison in tbe blood, and they may prevail anil no pain occur in the kidneys." .It is not strange that the enthusiasm which Mr. Warner displays in his appreciation of his own remedv, which restored him to health when the doctors said he could not live six months, should become infectious, and that the entire world should pay tribute to its power. For, as Mr. Warner says, the sales are constantly increasing, while the newspaper advertising is constantly dimin piling. This speaks volumes in praise of the extraordinary merits of his preparations. ° Stopping a Cannon Ball. "Iremember," said a physician, "that one of the most daring and strongest- willed men in our regiment was much given to laughing at the poor fellows who went down under disease or who complained much of what we called mere scratches of wounds. For two years it seemed that he was proof against all troubles incident to army life, but one day as he stood in Hne of battle, as fine a specimen of soldiery spirit and courage as I ever seen, there came bounding and rolling toward the line a heavy cannon ball tired from one of the large guns of the enemy. The temptation to stop a spinning ball of this kind waa BO strong that most sol- diers nerved themselves up to the point of resisting the inclination to give the apparently harmless ball a kick. The only man to yield to the temptation was my superb soldier. He put out his foot with a smile on his face and went down a shattered, maimed, and help- lese man. His foot was cut off as if by an ax, and the shook made him on the instant as helpless as a babe."--Chica­ go Inter Ocean. J. T.
