A Fast Story.

AN Englishman was Dragging of the
speed of English railroads, to a Yankee
traveller seated at his side, in one of the
cars of fast train in England The
engine bell was rung as the cars ueared a
station. 1t suggested to the Yankee an
opportunity of "takiug down bis COM
panion a peg or two"
"What's that noise ?" innocently in
quired the Yankee.
eve are approaching a town." said
the Englishmani "they have to com
mence ringing about ten miles before
they got to a station, or else the train
would run by it before the bell could be
heard Wonderful, isn't it? I Isuppose
they haven't invented bells in America
yeti"
"Why, yes" replied the Yankee,
we've got bells, but can't use them on
our railroads. We run SO fast that the
train always keeps ahead of the sound
the sound never reaches the village till
after the train gets by"
Indeed " exclaimed the Englishman.
"Fact, said the Yankee. had to give
up bells. Then VIC tried steam whistles,
but they wouldn't answer ither. l was
on a locomotive when the whistle was
tried. We were going at tremendous
rate hurricanes were nowhere, and l
had to hold my hair on. We saw two
horse wagon crossing the track, about
Eve miles ahead, and the engineer letthe
whistle on, sereeching like a trooper
1t screamed awfulIy, but itwnsn't no use.
The next thing I knew, l was picking
myself out Of pond by the roadside,
amid the fragments of the locomotive,
dead horses, broken wagon, and dead en-
gineer lying beside me. just then the
whistle came along, mixed up with some
frightfu oaths that l had heard the en-
gineer use when he first saw the horses.
Poor fellow! he was dead before his
voice got to him. After that We tried
lights, supposing they would travel faster
than sound. We got one SO powerful
that the chickens woke all along the
road when we came by, supposing it TO
be morning. But the locomotive kept
ahead of it still, and was in the darkness
with the light close on behind it. The
inhabitants petitioned against it, they
couldn't sleep with so much light in the
night time Finally we had to station
electric telegraphs along the road, with
signal men to telegraph when the train
was in sight; and I have heard that
some of the fast trains beat the lightning
fifteen minutes every forty miles. But
I cant say as that is true the rest l
know to be so.

Public Sentiment.

The Radicals are making great ado over the
recent declaration Of public sentiment, aud
arrogate unto themselves a great many airs
because they have been sustained by public
sentiment
It isn't always any great credit to a man to
be sustained by public sentiment-for it Is
tickle thing, to say the least, aud is often
found sustaining the wrong. ~
Public sentiment cruciied the Savior and
set Barrabas, the robber, free.
Public sentiment stoned the Apostle James
to death.
Public sentiment burned John Rogers al
the stake.
Public sentiment drowned innocent Hos
men in New England, as witches.
Public sentiment in New Englgnd bored
holes through the tongues Of the Quakers.
Public sentiment mobbed these same Rada
icals few years ago, for preaching the some
doctrines they now profess, and it is a great
pity they hadn't hanged every mothers son
Of them
Public sentiment is queer thing. It pro-
iesses Christianity. and elects inGdels and
blasphemers to Office processes honesty, and
puts the treasury into the hands of the great
est set OF thieves outside Cf the State prison;
processes to be the champion of freedom, and
suStains the greatest set Of tyrants that ever
escaped assassination.

Wedding Tours--A Railway Scene Very
Common Nowadays,

The Philadelphia Ledger, in discours-
ing on Summer tourists in general, al
Iudes to a particular and interesting
class, who are instantly recognized by all
old tourists at a glance-the bridegrooms
and brides who travel by themselves a
few hundred miles on their tours, fol-
lowed to the cars by weeping, yet bald
headed fathers. On all the routes lead
ing to and from Niagara they are seen.
They have private suites of rooms pre-
engaged at all the stopping places, and
have evidently the idea that they have
so arranged matters that they are not
and cannot be known as bridal tourists.
This is not that they are ashamed Of
each other, but simply that their enjoy
ment is in each others society, and that
they do not want to be criticised and re-
marked upon by profane strangers. So
they fancy they are travelling incQg.-
And yet how easy it is to the careful eye
to tell how many days, or even hohrs
they have been married, by the very
pains they take to seem either like old
married folks or cousins as they prone
made on the deck of a steamer, or sit
ever so demuTely in the cars.
Their dress detects them in part. 1t
is all 50 neat, symmetrical and new. If
the parties have good taste, there is not
a spark of showiness about their attire.
Ali glitter and display are laid aside, and
a1e who was fashionable belle last
Winter, and dove out in such splendid
satins and silks to do her shopping, is
now positively more ike a Quaker, in
simple travelling dress Of mouse or drab
color. Often the young culprits pre-
tend for while to be playing at lovers
or Irritation, but it will not do. There is
too much quiet happiness in their eyes
for sparkling wit and repartee too much
softness and tenderness in their conf
Dental whispers, and such a sense OF pos
session of each other that none In the
cars are deceived for FIVE minutes. Cen
erally the bridegroom discovers this first,
and throws his arms easily round the
shoulders of his wife, as much as to say
defantly to the curious, You cannot
tell but what We have been married these
many years" Not tell? There is sort
of outlines and slyness in the way that
arm steals ;rtun1, first on top Of the
seat back, then gradually closer, and
pleased, unperceived acquiesence on the
part of the bride. Indeed, it is she who
tells the tale most quickly. The broad
guage seats are too broad. She prefers
the narrower Pennsylvania measure;
and if you sit on any seat back of them,
it may be noticed that the lady'S shout
5ars are not even-tbev incline Just q

little, and unperceivedly, while she is sit
ting uprightly to her broad-set and
bearded partner. For few hours thus
they travel, but, in the long run, the
head graviates to the husbands support
ing shoulder, and there it will nestle in
nocently and confdingly in the repose of
a new found faith, as well as the happi-
ness of honest, truthful love-
Sometimes, in spite of all precautions,
a tress or two of rich black hair will get
loose and stray and fall down. But the
brides tresses are so exquisitely silky
and combed and polished, that there is
order and neatness in their very disorder
and abandon. 1t is in fact, the confusion
of the high and virtuous self-respect and
honest pride of the maiden stepping out
into a new path. And these young folks
fancy themselves lost in the crowd-un-
noticed, unknown, and with the secret
that they are just married. Blessed in
nocents But even those who discover
them must wish them God speed in their
new path, which may lead to happiness
or sorrow, as they start right or begin
wrong.

Water as Fuel.

Few persons are aware of the large
per centage of actual moisture that
abounds in most fuels. The careful
housewife, desirous to economic her
fire, banks it up with cinders. The
poor employ wet tan. And there are not
many who have not watched the mailer
with curious interest, when, after a good
sprinkle with his hand broom, previously
dipped in water, he had made his smithy
fire glow again with q few blasts of his
bellows. The Rev. NJ Mouie, of Dor
chester, has had constructed q cooking
stove, in which the combustion, to a GER
tain extent, of water is the principal fea-
ture. In the trials made a few years
since for ascersaining the economy of
using wet fuel, the results obtained were
perfectly marvellous. Fuel actually con-
tanning actually seventy per cent. of
moisture was burnt in au arched brick
stove or furnace. The heat produced
was sufficiently intense, the thick wrought
iron door having been previously closed,
to raise to whiteness the arch ofthe oven.
The fire, indeed, in the first instance, was
lighted with dry fnel, but afterwards the
wet fuel was exclusively resorted to-

tion.-Nining (Eng'nd) Journal.
It is hard to argue against fact, and we
have had repeated assertions through
the press and By individuals, of the great
apparent gain by the use Of wet fuel, but
common sense would say that the heat
required to drive of or decompose the
gases of water would be equal to that
obtained from their subsequent combus-
ton. DR.. Hagan's water burning stove
has been in use for some time, but
whether it anticipates that of DR.. Mouio

From the Portsmouth (O.) Times.l
Letter from Colonel IIoore late Candidate for
Congress.

! EDITOR TIMES AT the close Of the most
important political contest ever witnessed in
! this country-unparal.ele by its ferocity, ar
| rogance, falsehood, deception and fraud-sl-
low me to offer my cordial thanks to the
many tue aud steadfast men in the Demo-
cratic faith, and the honest johnson men, who
stood by me-and especially the many Ger
mans, and the universal brotherhood of Irish
men in the District-who turning from the
poison so increasingly poured into their ears
by my enemies, and forgetting past differenc-
es and even animosities growing out Of my
past political associations, so nobly supported
me. Such magnanimity and devotion can
never be forgotten. or fail to awaken my live
liest gratitude. While there is much in the
result OF the election to cause despondency
among those who fought under the intelligent
and sincere belief that the future peace and
stability of our Government were involved
IN it, and that upon the success OF the party
opposed to wild lanaticism depended the
maintenance of Constitutional liberty and the
form Of popular government in this country;
while it siekened the hearts OF the friends Of
a free and unrestricted ballot, to see capital,
and those who employ labor by menace-by
Overawing-by indirect and stealthy appli-
ances-and by even open and palpable mani
pulation-inhuence and control labor and the
employe in the exercise of the highest priv
ilege Of freemen while the church is brought
into contempt, and every religious sentiment
OF our nature is outraged, to see the minis |
terial robe thrown off, and the minister COM
ing down from his pulpit TO take part in the /
wrangle and strife OF the meetings, and, by /
virtue of his position as spiritual adviser, lead |
to the polls members of his flock there to
deposit a ballot to his own dishouor and |
shame, because against his fixed lifelong and |
political convictions. Yet amid !
1t all there is a grandeur in the fact that there
are to be found so many who are able to /
stand up against and proudly resist all such /
and corrupting inauences-so
many of the toiling millions who yet val
ue their right to vote above all priee-whO |
can neither be intimidated, overawed or driv-
en-, coaxed, hoodwinked or bought-who |
have the manhood to vote according to their |
honest convictions of right, even il to do so
shall cause those who purchase their toll to |
scowl and threaten, and even dismiss them /
from service. And while there yet remains |
so many OF these, let US not despair of the |
Republic. They may be in the minority to-
day, but there is a moral force and power |
about them that must, in the end, control |
the destiny of the nation. Acting with them, |
as I am now, with a conscientious conviction /
of rectitude, I shall abide by them, even il
to do so shall consign me forever to political
obscurity. o. F. Moore.

Was ever woman so favored with ar
indulgent fortune? Within year from
the utterance of this remark, Mrs. Jones
was the happy-no, the patient mother Of
a real genuine glorious baby. MIR. Jones,
who had with difficulty refrained from
happiness before, was uncontrolablyjubi-
liant now The boy was healthy, and
handsome, and bright There was no
mistake about him; he was a fixed fact,
a star of the first magnitude. He had
wants, it is true for which the fond
father was intently thunkful, for to graft
fly and prevent them was his supreme de-
light
But the mother! Alas? hers we're all
a mothers cares, anxieties and forebod-
ings. >Tillthe child was weaned she scar
ceIy left the house, or INDUCED in the
simplest luxuries of diet Then there
was the long period of teeth-cutting,
during which her maternal anxieties
were never appeased. Then she lived in
fear of the measles, whooping cough, and
scarlet fever, till the young hero met and
conquered them all. He grew round and
rosy, and she thin and anxious, but still
unalterably patient At schoolshe feared
he might study too much or too little,
and as her fears were pretty equally di-
vided between the two perils, it is pre-
sumed that he avoided both.
Then she had a general misgiving lest
he should be spoiled, and from too much
petting at home become an indolent and
useless member ofsociety. But, though
the reader may share her fear in this re-
gard, Master Jones falsifed them all. In
diligence and opportunity seemed to
agree with him. He was ambitious and
self-reliant, and not obiectionably will !
ful. When at last he decided to study
for profession, the mother fitted out his
wardrobe with reluctant care, and the
first letter she received from college was
moistened with some more than the full !
proportion of her maternal tears.
l am glad he is doing we'll, she said, |
in reply TO a remark from her husband, |
: but miss him more than can tell you |
Since we have only one we could but wish
he could have stayed with US. The seven |
years of his student life are very long to
wait.
TO wait for wbat?' inquired Mr.
Jones.
For the good time coming replied |
his wife.
Why, woman, the good time has come
long ago. Can't you see it? We've
been having it all along
1t may be so with you, Mr.. Jones,
but | have never been free from anxiety
ior a minute in my lie
And you viii never be, my dear, re-
piled Mr. Jones, as he shook the ashes
from his cigar. 1t is positively your
strongest point, and I have quite an ad-
for your skill in it. You will |
find more to submit to in any given cir
than any woman have ever
known
Mrs, Jones raised her eyes to her hus-
bands face in meek surprise. She for
give him and was silent.

THE DURABILITY" OF CoxsUMPTIoN having
been conclusIvely demonstrated by the pro-
gress of Medical Science during the past six
years, it is OF importance to understand clear
ly what is meant by this expression.
Consumption, rs a matter fact, often ex-
lists in the system long before it manifesrs its
elf by tubercular deposits within the Lungs
Weakness and Wasting are its first general
signs There is evidently a Depraved Con-
dition slowly establishing itself, and this Con-
dition is what the scientific physician has in
view when he speaks Of Consumption. By
its curability he means the correction OF
this Condition. Yet the popular conception
is, that Consumption is only and merely a
disease originating in the Lungs themselves,
and this mistake entails untold misery upon
the suffering because OF the encouragement
which it gives to the preteusiOns of the in
halationists, and because it leads the patient
to parley with the symptoms Of his disease,
instead Of giving battle to the Depraved Con-
stitutional Condition which is his real foe
He loses his strength, and he takes tones
and 'stimulants.' He loses his color, ard he
takes iron. He loses flesh, and he taxes cod
liver oil, and gains little deceptive fat He
has Night SweatS, Cough, Hectic, Fever
Chills, SC, and for these he takes acids
cough mixtures" quinine, &C., but all in
vaiu-becauSe none of these things singly,
nor all of them combined, can do more than
mitigate or modify the severity OF one or more
of the Symptoms Of this malady. It shonld
be understood that the whole series of Symp-
toms NAV safely be left to take care Of them
selves, if a treatment be adopted which will
correct the General Morbid Condition in
which the Symptoms have conception and
from which they take birth.
do not hesitate to say, in full view OF my
that the lite Of nine persons |
out of ten, who now die Of Consumption,
might either be saved or greatly prolonged. |
The most important matter in the treatment
of Consumption, and all It's related disorders
{ the right remedy being pre-supposed }, is |
Time. The work Of repair or recovery IRON
an insiduous, wasting Constitutional Disease
must necessarily proceed slowly. The more
the disease, the more clearly does |
this truth appear; and it is OF paramount i'm
in these cases, that the treatment |
should be both moderate and persistent. The /
right remedy. improperly used, may prove
as hurtful or useless as a wrong or a worth |
less remedy. Remember, therefore, that |
