The courts have decided that appli-
cants for tickets on railroads can be
elected from the cars il they do not
offer the exact amount of their fare.
Conductors are not bound to make
change. All railroad tickets are good
until used; conditions, good for this

sengers who lose their tickets can be
elected from the cars unless they pur-

and are obliged to comply with all
reasonable demands to show their
tickets. Standing on the platform, or
otherwise violating the rules of the

JEFFERSON DAVIS BIBLE.-Every-
thing connected with the truly noble
man who presided over the late Con-
federacy, says the Tuscaloosa Obser-
yer, and who now suffers in silent
grandeur, must ever be interesting to
the people of our sunny sland. A
friend has related to the editor the fol
lowing little story, which he gives
from memory:
During the prosperous days of the
Confederacy, a lady Of Mississippi,
well known for her piety, her talents
and her devotion to the South, pre-
scented to Mr.. Davis beautiful Bible,
having on the back the words, ITO
the First President of the Confederate
States" Upon one of the blank
leaves she penned the. following lines,
which, II they did not contain prophe-
cy, are, in our Judgment, full of the
beauty of poetry
This is the rock of faith aud love
o, chieftan! nit take thy stand;
And He who rules the powers above,
viii load thee to the promised land;
The Red Sea waves that round thee roar
On either hand shall shrink away;
And thou shall pass in safety DER,
Like Moses through the dread arrays
Another Miriam then shall sing
The triumphs of our chosen racei
And honored more than bard or king,
In fame thou'lt take deathless place !"

The proposition to dispense with
the services of all the lady clerks in
the Treasury is daily gaining ground.
Secretary McCulloch has taken the
matter into serious consideration,
and 1T is believed will decide to dis
charge them all, and where found
necessary will fill their places with
worthy and efficient men. Very many
obstacles are thrown in the way of the
project, and numerous arguments in
favor of the retention of the ladies
have been and are being offered, one
of the strongest of which is that many
of them would be without employ
ment if thrown out of the Treasury,
at the present time, now that the win
ter months are upon us. But notwith-
standing all the arguments offered in
favor of the ladies', the officials of the
Treasury declare that the employment
of women as clerks and copyists
which as yet is but an experiment, is
a failure.

How TO MAKE FORTUNE. The
surest way to make a fortune in trade
is by advertising. Bonner, of the
New York Ledger, quilted the com
position room of the New York Eve
ming Mirror, where he had been re-
ceiving for six years salary of from
six dollars to twelve dollars a week,
and with his savings bought weekly
newspaper at the point of death for a
few hundred dollars. He commenced
advertising, often spending from
$4,000 to $4,000 on a single adver-
tisement, and his regular income is
now about S150,000 a year. DIR. S.
p. Townsend, the great sarsaparilla
man." used to spend from $500 to
100000 a year in advertising his
nostrum. DR.. Moffat, of 'Phenix
Life Bitters," notoriety, spent thous-
ands and made millions by advertising.
Dr. Hostetter ditto; and DIR. Ayre, of
"Cherry PICTORIAL fame, ditto, ditto.
As an English illustration of the bene-
fits of judicious advertising, take, for
instance, H. j. and d. Nicoll. They
began by investing all the money they
possessed in advertising a cheap
OoletOt. They are now millionaires.
If tradesman has really good thing,
he has only to properly advertise it
and make fortune.

The Louisville Courier admonishes
the radicals not to magnify the power
Of the Federal Government. There is
no telling into whose hands 1t will fall
before many years. They have fine

States are against them to-day, and in
the progress of events they may go

look with horror at that power they
are now building up, as they did n few
years ago. Their opponents then will
be sorely tempted to forget the doc
trine Of strict construction they insist

queer pranks among the boatmen and
