TIE RESULT IN BosroS We. gladly
to>day, at greater leisure, renew our
congratulations to all loyal>hearted
men, on The final event of the strug
gle ia Boston for the supremacy OF
Law over traitorous faaaticism. We
are none the less delighted with the is
sue. because we never had any doubt
of what it would be. To us, the con
test has been welcome, from its dawn,
at such a point I; first, because we de-
sired to see it settled just where the
odds against loyalty were supposed
the strongest, and where, therefore,
the settlement would be the most de>
c%isive; secondly, because, few or many
we desired to see the pluck of those
frothy people put to the test and Bos-
ton is a place where men might be ex
pected to have metal, if any where !;
and, third, because that good old histo-
ricaI city is known, almost wherever
the American name is known, as the
capital of American thought, spirit and
feeling so that what was done there
would be recognized abroad and stand
authentic in the Worlds eye, as the
act of our country. We owe, and
knew that we should owe, gratitude to
Boston, for indicating moi only the
general name of the Union, but her
own

Useful Labor, and thus contribute to the
sensible diminution of human suffering even
without obtaining or seeking the reputation
of benevolence Finally, we can exhort the
fortunate and the unfortunate, the wise and
the simple. to study intently and patiently
the great problem of Human Misery flow
ing from Want, and so devise and concert
measures for its peaceful and speedy solu-
ton. Were the desire for it but general
and earnest, that solution would be found.

Household servants-Rights and
Dulies.

In recent commentary on character
istic essay of The Express on the faulty
which leads American girls to starve at
the needle when they might live plump and
rosy as household servants, we considered
one obstacle to the change suggested by
The Express, and in itself so manifestly
desirable. There IS a deficiency Of the
better class of cooks, nurse-maids and other
helps in this csuDtry-nOne who consider
can doubt it. Thousands Of this class
would be gladly employed and fairly re-
munerated if those who want them only
knew where to find them. VIGOROUSLY,
this kind of help is far scarcer and more
needed in this than in any ether civilized
country. And, as the subject is one of very
general interest, we propose to make some
farther suggestions toward a practical So
luton of the admitted difficulty.
We need better servants in very many
households and the first step toward Sc
curing them is to guaranty them better
treatment. We will presume that, as a
general rule, they are at present fairly fed,
lodged and remunerated yet still the class
OF persons who are most needed prefer
want and anxiety in other employments to
comfort and security in this We must
overcome this repugnance to household
service on the part of those best qualified
to perform it; and one important step to-
ward this is the habitual recognition of our
common Humanity, and of the essential
worth and dignity of all useful vacations.
Rut tlcie are still other Reforms necessary

This elected reply, wherein he repealed the
charge OF Abolition, declared himself yirginian

or no human cattle. This has called out in turn
a friend and neighbor OF Col Johnson, who thus
sets forth the sOundness of that gentleman on the
vital question:
"Col Johnson moved into Harrison County N the
year 1901, was then IA years Of age and has resided
IN this County from that time to the present Col
johnson IS now, and has been for upward OF 20
years. slave-owner Mr.. Summers Is. wealthy.
Col Johnson Is not. but BY his industry has made a

more slaves than Col. johnson. But Mr. Summers

Improved Railroad Cara

~ tN EdHOT V me ~. 4 iTt0hnt.
Improvement and advancement in the
Arts and Sciences is the order of the day An in
yention has recently been patented IN this country
by Nelson Goodyear, Esq, OF this City, which tends
to promote the highest degree OF comfort to Railroad
travellers. All knew that during the Summer season
the annoyance experienced from dust is almost in
suppotable. By an ingenious arran cement Of cur
rents Of air, this great difficulty has at length been
overcome by the adoption OF the patent to cars and
not only prevents admission Of dust, cnders, &C.,
but decreases the temperature Of the from TO
degrees below that Of others running in the same
TRAN. This arrangement consists Of causing interior
currents Of air to pass outward through the sides Of
the car Angular faces, composed Of fine wire
gsuze upon projections the roof of abou, foot
In hight the apex being In the direction Of the axis
OF the car, receive the air, which is indicted bya
valve through the roof into paralleogramic tube
running the entire length OF the car the sides OF
which also OF wire gauze, from whence 1. isdifl
sed through the interior, passing out through series
Of vertical blinds composed Of Stats placed about one
and half inches apart each alternate set placed al
an angle Of say 40 degrees With the face Of the car
the balance in the opposite direction. As the car
moves IN either direction its passage through the
atmosphere increases the DRAFT from the interior,
preventing admission OF everything offensive, oov'
ating the necessity OF open windows heretofore 20
essential to comfort and producing perfect and de-
ligktful ventilation
This invention has been most successfully tired
upon the Vermont Central and other New England
roads, and has proved entirely efcacious in all It's
workings. Officers of these roads, from high 70 low
est, speak in unhe sang terms Of its entire success
This, therefore, IS a desiceratum in comfort which
has long been sought for by the travelling public
journey may now be performed by railroad with the
same comfort as would be experienced by steamboat,
gaining advantage OF time, without sacrifice. This
improvement Will no doubt now that 1t has been
perfected be introduced all our railroads through
out the Union. AE.H.
