N. re
INTERESTING TO RAILROAD TRAvELERs.
The following "rules of the road
are based upon legal decisions and
ought to be universally known:
The courts have decided that appli-
cants tor tickets on railroads can be
elected from the cars if 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 day on
ly," or other admitting time of gen.
uineness, are of no account.
Passengers who lose their tickets
can be elected from the cars unless
they purchase a second one.
Passengers are bound to observe de:
ccrum in the cars, and are obliged to
comply with all reasonable demands
to show their tickets.
Standing on the platforms or other
wise violating the rules Of the com
pany, renders person liable to be put
out oil the train.
No person has right to monopoliz'
more seats than he has paid for; anC
any article LETT in the seat while th'
owner is temporarily absent, entitle
him to his seat on his return. =.

THAT unfathomabIe oil lake at Burn
ing Springs, into which one Alvin c.
Temple was said to have fallen, and
about which there was amystery pro-
found and q romance poetic, existed,
so it now appears, only in the imagfna-
ton Of the ingenious individual who
concocted the letter which was put,
forth by the Parkersburg Times with
the name Of r. H. Steinway attached
to it. The Times admits that il was
guIled in this matter, the letters being
purely fictitious, and adds: "Thcre
nsver was a Steibway arrested4 at
Burning Springs, and no Alvin Tenn
pie ever drowned inan oil lake" Well.
It is lucky for Temple, but great dis
appointment to oil hunters Marietta
NeEs.

Elevation.

A Democratic paper asks, as sort OF
political knock-down:
ut is not the intention (of the Re-
publoans) "as far as possible, to elevate
the negro to the level of the white
man :"
To which the Toledo Blade appro-
priately and scnsibly replies: "lt is
no part of the business of any party to
elevate anybody. But it is the inten-
tention of the Republican party to re-
move all the impediments placed in
the way of the negroes, and for that
matter, oil other classes of men, and
permit them to elevate themselves to
whatever hight they can. II they
have the capacity to reach the level OF
the white man, we'll and good; If they
90 higher, just as well. We do not
propose to legislate them above or up
to any other class, but we do, propose
TO remove sll checks and hindrances
imposed by senSeless prejudice, and
give every man, white or black, a fair
| field. We do not believe that the NO
gro is superior to the white, and hence
are not fearful Of competition.

MAKING A GREAT SOUTHERN CRY
Houston, Texas, that bad only 5000 in
habitants in 1860, now has over 10000.
The Telegraph of that city says:
Our city is perfectly filed With
strangers from all the four quarters OF
the globe, and our hotels and restau-
rants are filed to overAow;ng with
them. We are at loss to know where
they all come from. But the best Of
it all is, they have all mostly got mon
ey, and are buying up the vacant lots
and blocks around the city, with the
intention Of building on them.

THE YANKEES IN PALEsrINE--The
Philadelphia Inquirer prophesieS hu-
morouslyo Of what the Yankees are TO
do IN Palestine:
THIS emigration to the Holy City
will be but beginning OF the hegira
which will populate Jerusalem with a
dreadfuily smart people They will
introduce TO the benighted Asiatics
subsoil plonghs, moving machines,
steam engines and the electric telegraph.
They will transform the appearance OF
the Holy City. They may put up a
cotton factory on Mount MoriRh, and
run a saw mill with the water os the
brook Kedron. They win plant
Indian corn on the Mount Of Olives,
and perhaps pumpkins in the valley Of
HinnOm. Bean-poles will support
their leguminous treasures in tho val
ley of Jehosaphat. The establishment
of Congregational church Oh Mount
Zion, and the erection of gas-works
opposite the Hebron Gate. may be
reckoned among the possibilities of
this strange emigration, which recon-
penses the world for the migration, al
ways hitherto from the East to the
West, by sending few pioneers back
again.

no Pickle Rcd Cabbage. .

Take firm fresh cabbage, remove
the whole Of the outer leaves, keeping
the ball entiro--cut into tour quarters,
and subsequently into strips, and
place them on hair sieve or clean,
dry cloth, and sprinkle with salt. Let
them remain for three days to allow
the brine to drain off After they arc
thoroughly drained, put them into a
clean jar Take as much vinegar as
will cover them, and let it simmer over
a slow fire, with alspice, whole black
pepper, coarse brown ginger, and lit.
lie pimento. When the vinegar is suf-
ficiently favored let it cool and pour
it over the cabbage in the jar, which
must be stopped down for use, and
kept for three months.

AN TNNENSE EMIGRATION.

An immense emigration viii pour into the
Southern States with the restoration OF peace.
Thousands of southern refugees, from all the
towns and cities of the North, will return
home; thousands Of northern soldiers will
move in the same direction, and settle, in the
closest bonds Of union, among their southern
brethren; aud, in obedience to the laws OF
demand and supply, thousands Of northern
farmers, mechanics, and laborer5, will swell
the mighty volume for the tepeopling and re-
building the waste places of ''the snnny
South" In anticipation Of this grand diver
aion of the tide of emigration, and from the
increasing demands upon them, the proprie-
tor. of fHOSTETTER'S CELEBRATED STON-

ADVICE TO tbs DEMOCRATIC PARTY.-The
following advice to the Democratic party is
timely and to the point. It is from the late
issue of the Nsw York Herald. Let sensible
Democrats read and ponder.
The attempt of the Democratic members of
Congress to keep up the distinct organization
of their party is q useless and Improbable
task. The Democratic party of past days is
defunct. 1t was shattered by cid hunkerism
and seceSSiOnism before the rebellion. and il
was slaughtered by Copperheadism, during
that period The Democratic legislation of
former years prepared the way for the final
collapse of the party. The trucking Of the
Pierce Administration to the Southern fire.
eaters was followed by the incapacity Of the
hlundering Administration of old Buchanan
These were both Democratic Administrations
and the worst that ever ruled the country.
TEE Position OF THADDEUs STEVENS. In
the course of debate in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes, on Saturday last, Hon. Thaddeus
Stevens defined his position in reference to
the status of the late revolted States. He
said he never held the doctrine that the
Southern States were dead, but had argued
it made no difference whether they were in
or out Of the Cuion, as to the question of re-
construction. lie held that these States were
organized under another government besides
our own. His position as to confscation was
also misapprehended. He did not advocate
a general sweep, bat that the lands of large
number 3f the rebels ought to be conG5cated
in order to meet the expenses incurred in
putting down the rebellion, and to increase
the pensions of soldiers:
