RAILROAD SIGNALs.-Those who travel
on the cars, or who witness the movement
of the trains, and the men who operate the
roads, may desire to know the signals used
everywhere on the roads. The signals are
given by the whistle, by lanterns, flags and
motion of the arms. Their signification is
as follows:
One whistle-"Down brakes
Two whistles-"OfP brakes.''
Three whistles-"Back up
Continued whistle-''Danger.''
A rapid succession of short whistles is
the cattle alarm, at which the brakes will
always be put down.
A sweeping parting of hands on level of
the eye is the signal to "go ahead.'
a downward motion of one hand, to
"back up"
A lantern raised and lowered vertically
is signal for Starting swung at right
angles, or crosswise the track, to ''stop -
swung in circle, 'back the train
A red flag waved upon the track must
be regarded as a signal of danger. So
with other signals given with energy.
Hoisted at a station is signal for
train to stop.
Stuck up by the roadside is signal of
danger on the track ahead.
Carried unfurled upon the engine is
warning that another engine or train is on
its way.

The Local Of the Madison Wis., Eniaas,
one Of the best papers Of the Northwest,
thus touches up the cholera. More humor
and indifference about the dead destroyer
is preferable to SO many remedies.
CHOLERA PAN1c.-We met man yester-
day looking gaunt, blue about the eyes,
his lips colorless and dry, his stomach ap-
arently having taken refuge between his
shoulders; his voice weak, cracked and pi-
ping-a perfect walking nonetity. We
asked him what the trouble was. He had
been victim of the cholera panic. We
were curious to know by what means a
strong healthy man of a week ago could be
brought to such a condition without ever
being sick enough to go to.bed. We found
that he had been scared by reports of chol-
era, and here is what he did:
First--He took, within few hours, a
bottle Of pain killer.
Second-A bottle Of extract of Jamaica
ginger.
Drank strong glass-full of brandy and
pepper several times a day.
Took pint of "Manning's damndest.''
Wore half pound lump of sulphur in
his stockings ever since he saw the remedy
In the newspaper.
Three times a day took opium pills, with
one of asafGtida each morning before break
fast. Kept a mustard plaster over his
stomach for four days and nights. Sat for
three hours every day with his feet up to
his knees in warm water, and had his spine
rubbed with hot sand bags at twelve o'clock
at night for an hour. lie said he thought
that he had succeeded in keeping off an at
tack. We then asked him as to the health
of his family. They are all well, except
his wife, who he thought had worked her
self out by attending ON him, bnt hoped,
now that he was out Of danger, she would
get better. We hope so too.

: If ever a man told the truth it was Pres.
johnson when he said in his speech last
Saturday:
There is on the verge of the government,
as it were, a body which assumed to be
the Congress of the United States, but in
fact Congress of only part of the States.
We have seen this Congress assume, and
pretend to be for the Union, when it's every
step and act tended to perpetual disunion,
and to make disruption of the States in
evitable instead of promoting reconcilia-
ton and harmony. Its legislation has
taken the form of retaliation.
This is the whole story in nutshell
Congress assumes to be for the Union,
when its every step and act tends to per-
petuate disunion. The President has got
the point expressed in exactly the right
language.

Mr.. Patrick Agen, of Syracuse, N. Y,
a member of the Republican party, in high
standing, and for years an editor of an in
fuential daily, thus expresses what he be-
lieves to be the duty of every patriot:
''The Presidents policy is the only one
that can stand the test, and it must be sus-
tanned and carried out to the end. We have
had enough Of war; the cause Of the bloody
struggle is removed; there remains no long
er any cause of alienation between the
sections; let us now have peace and re-
union; let the North and South join hands
in common effort to restore fractured re-
lations, and let tranquility reign over
country acknowledging a common lam
guage, a common flag, and a common alle-
giance"

PoLIr1CAL PARoDlEs. The Radicals
seem to be so barren of ideas that they can
do no better than parody, in a feeble way,
those of the Conservative Union Party
Shortly after the call was issued for the
great Convention of National Unionists at
Philadelphia, which has just adjourned,
certain pretentious Radicals issued q cali
for disjected Convention of this sort at the
same place, which will certainly be an odd
affair when compared with its predecessor.
And again, when u call was issued the
other day for National Soldiers Conserv-
ative Convention, which was signed and
approved by an immense majority of the
most distinguished officers of our volun-
teer army, it was Immediately followed by
another call for Radical Soldiers Con-
vention, which was signed by-nobody can
tell whom. We like Il parody occasional
ly, but such pitiful ones as those, can only
make the nation grin at their projectors

The commissioner of the general land
office has decided that parties who have
made entry under the Sth section of the
homestead act of 1862, on condition of five
years continuous settlement, have right,
at any time before the expiration of that
period, to make proof of such settlement
up to a given day, and then pay for the
tract at 81 % per acre, and at once get q
title. When tract of more than l6O acres
is taken, the settler is required to pay for
the excess in cash, and, should he desire to
change his homestead to cash purchase,
he is credited with the amount of such ex-
cess, and only required to pay for 100 acres.
In case party abandons his tract, he for

From the Quincy Ill.) Herald, Aug. 5.

From the quincy lll) Herald, Aug. 5.
One evening last week a gentleman, who
is said to possess very jewel of wife,
received intelligence in regard to business
affairs that necessitated his leaving home,
for some point up the river. He ut once
sought his domicile, changed his clothes,
and, after informing his better half of his
intended departure from the city, babe her
an affectionate farewell. He then proceed
ed to the levee to await the arrival of
Northern Line steamer.
Now it appears that the fair lady, the
charming better half, the accomplished,
beautiful and fascinating wife, had been
carrying on rather extensive, if not GRIM
inal Irritation with a handsome gentleman,
and this unexpected departure of her hus-
hand afforded an opportunity for an inter-
view with the handsome paramour. He
was informed Of ''the situation and at
once proceed to the house, from whence
the confding and doting husband had but
a few moments previous, departed. We
will here drop the veil over what transpired
from the time the guilty lovers met, until
lOA o'clock the same evening" when the
ed the disgraceful affair.
The husband waited until lO4 o'clock
for the arrival of the expected boat, when
firing of patience he concluded to return
home and postpone his departure till the
following morning. Arriving at the door
of his residence, and the lights being ex-
tinguished and the house wrapped in COM
plete darkness, he did not wait for any one
to open the door, but unsuspectingly pass
ed in by the aid of his nieht-key So
quietly did he enter the house that it was
not until he was ascending the stairs, that
led to his wife's bed-chamber, that she be-
came warned of his approach, and of the
awful consequences of her Illicit love.
Her guilty paramour fearing the vengeance
of the outraged husband, donned his
clothes as best he could in the confusion
incident to his near approach, and at once
leaped from the window to the ground,
thereby making his escape. All this trans
pired without once arousing the husband s
suspicious, and it was not until he enter
the room, lit the gas, and discovered pair
of strange pants lying on the floor that
the thought of his wife's guilt flashed
across his mind. He inquired of his wife
how the mysterious pants came into her
room, but she, conscious of her own
guilt, remained mute. The husband then
determined to examine the pants with a
view to ascertaining who the owner might
be, and in doing so found in one of the
pockets portmonnaie containing upwards
of 5000.
1t seems that in his haste to escape, the
guilty owner of the pants had taken a
pair belonging to the husband of the lady,
and did not discover his mistake until it
was too late.
Whether the individual has made any
efforts to recover his money we are not ad-
vised.

Some one says Andy has fulfilled one of
his promises he has made treason "Odi-
ous;" but unfortunately it's his personal
treason to the party that elected him.
We clip the above item from the Deco
rah Republican of the 23d. Other sheets
have the same-the same in substance
but the authorship, or who the g some one :"
is, can be of little Importance now. We,
in all candor, ask the journals everywhere
which deny the right of states to secede
but assume that congress may ratify seces-
sion by holding states as conquered prov
inces or territories, to tell us of single
speech made by the president while in con-
gress or Of a principle advocated by him
before or since, which, in whole or in part,
differs from the reconstruction policy bear
ing his pcn-marks, and supported by the
platform of principles laid down by the
Philadelphia convention.
All agree that there is but one political
issue before the people now, the old ones
having been wiped out. Andrew johnson
has not leaped from the platform, touching
that issue, upon which he fought in and
out of congress. and yet because he don't
swallow his own words and follow the rad
icals on tangent he is vile traitor, and
worse if possible. lie is not our presi-
dent, but we don't like to see him malign-
ed by the inmates of his own household.

endorse, expressed it as being his highest
known wish that the people Of the rebell-

of goodness VIII en- liv ing, but why
not pronounce the dead Lincoln a
