MARRIAGE Whatever faults VOltaire may
have had, he certainly showed himself a man
of sense when he said The more married
men you have, the fewer crimes there will be-
Marriage renders a man more virtuOus and
more wise" An unmarried man is but half
of perfect being, and it requires the other
half to make things right and it cannot be ex-
pected that in this imperfect state he can keep
the straight path Of rectitude any more than u
boat with one oar, or bird with one wing, can
keep straight course. In nine cases out OF
ten, where men become drunkards, or where
they commit crimes against the peace of the
community, the foundation Of these acts wa,
laid while in single state, or where the wife
is. as is sometimes the case, an unsuitable
match. Marriage changes the whole curren
OF mans feelings, and gives him centre iol
his thoughts, his affections, and his acts
Here is home for the entire man, and tn
counsel, the affections, the example,, and tn
interests of his better half keep him frOr
erratic courses, and from falling into a tho9s
and temptations to which he would otherwis
be exnosed. Therefore the friend to marriag
is friend to society and to his country.

that day the Talbot fell in, off the Isle of Man,
with heavy snow storm, which lasted three
hours, during nearly the whole OF which time
from each mast head OF the vessel, and also
from each gatf end "a beautiful blue light was
seen to proceed. During part Of the time a
similar light proceeded from the stem head,

Whistles as Signals on Trains.

One of the most extraordinary things to an
American Is the mystery and difficulty they
make In England about communicating between
the engineer and passengers on q railway train.
In this country, as our readers we'll know the
cars are one large apartment on wheels, but in
England they are different, being like several
stage coaches coupled together, each car con-
slstng OF three or more compartments This
affords special facilities to murderers and other
agreeable persons who arc not slow to take adj
vantage of them, as criminal records show
All sorts of ingenious and impractcable
schemes have been devised to communicate be-
tween the engineer and conductor or guard,
as he Is called but the simplest and most etfec
tive has not been tried, or if tried meets with
little favor. That Is, the plan Ill vogue here,
consisting of bell and cord which runs the
whole length of the tram and to be found ON
every railroad in our land.
1t must not be supposed that this plan is not
tried because it is unknown, but 1t is left uncs-
sayed for some reasons not stated Whether
the passengers would ring the bell :" Tor fun,
or whether the murdcrcrs if left alone, would
steal the rope, does not appear; 1t Is sufficient
| to know that British ingenuity has not as yet
solved the problem of communicating between
the engineer of train and the passengers on
! it.
The latest proposition is that the engineer
| SnOulQ De SlgHdutu ny Souhu' IL lh.AhO NV
sound the inventor uses compressed air and Il
whistle. He congresses the air with pair OF
bellows, and he places the whistle III front OF
a reflector" (which is probably defector)
to throw the sound forward the whistle ma
chinery being in the guards wan. This
van, curious mlsnOmcr, Is In the rear, beng
300 feet from the engineer.
At recent experiment with this machine
(the speed of the train was about thirty miles
an hour the engineer heard the sound with
difficulty on the foot board of the engine, al
though the whistles employed were four inches
in diameter and were heard distinctly two mile
in the rear.
OF course they were; that was the p lace t
t hear them The Eagtncer says: On the foo
t plate We heard the whistle very distinctly Will
: the speed did not exceed - miles per hour
but in the open country at higher speed 1t be
came indistinct though never totally lost. Il
e cuttings it was at all times heard plainly, bu
f the position OF the hearer cxerted considcrabl
influence; thus when standing under the lee 0
the fre-box which was large and high, it coul
be plainly heard, while it was inaudlble to tn
e engineer looking out We are also turthe
told that this apparatus is simple and not ilahl
to get out of order and it may yet take til
place of the ordinary signal cord. That Is i
g England Scientific 1mcrictn.
