A HARD LICK.-As though the over
whclming defeat of the Radical clique
we're not sufficiently humiliaiing, the
Directors of the Memphis and Ohio
railroad company have struck the
clique organ terrible blow in the fol-
lowing resolution. 1t is as grim a spec.
linen of first class irony as we have seen
for some time. 1t will pay any corpora
ton desiring success to purchase our
contemporary's abuse by the year. tits
as beneficial as its adulation is deadly :
At meeting of the Board of Direct
ors of the Memphis and Ohio railroad
company, held at their office in the city
of Memphis, on the 9Th day of October,
1867, the following resolution was
passed and ordered to be published,
viz:
ResolUed, That the thanks of this
Board is due the Memphis Daily BuAe
tin for the very efficient labor it per-
formed in bringing together such an
overwhelming number Of the stockhold-
ers of this road at their late annual
election for Directors. The vote in this
election, representing eighty per cent, of
the entire stock of the company, being a
much larger amount than ever repre-
scented at any previous election.

THE UNDERGROUND RAILWAY OF
LONDON. New York business man,
of great experience in road matters,
writes from London under date of jan
uary 20, naming some of the things
he has seen which he likes:
"Not the least is their extensive sys-
tenn of underground railways. 1t is
perfectly wonderful how they jerk the
people about, at the rate ofabout fifteen
milesan hour, from one end ofthe town
to another, and across and around
stopping about once every half mile, at
some prominent corner, at station,
from which you emerge to the upper air,
andfind yourselfsomewhere n ear where
you were half or three-quarters of an
hour ago. These trains run each way,
being double tracks, about every ten
minutes; and morning and evening
they often consist of seven or eight cars,
holding thirty or forty peopleeach. The
cars are lighted with gas-not the tun-
nels, except at stations-so that you
can read your papers; and there is no
smell of smoke, or sense of sufocation.
How they ventilate them so well | can
hardly see. lf -..,--sa es.-..a.

HOW TO ECoNomrzE FUEL.


DIR. Samuel Warren, author of 'I'Ten
Thousand a Year." recently wrote a
letter to the Mayor of Hull, England,
to say that before leaving for London
he desired to make practical suggest
ion to the housekeepers of the town.
The suggestion was this: "To econo-
mize the burning of coal, send for an
iron-monger or blacksmith, and order
him to take the measure of the bot
tom of your CRATE and make you a
sheet-iron plate of about one-siXth OF
an inch in thickness, oreven less. Sim
ply lay this and light your fire as usu-
al. 1t will soon burn up, but you must
keep pretty open the lowest bar, so as
to secure light draught. When the
fire has begun to burn poke it gently
from beneath and the fame will grad
ually get through the entire mass OF
Goals, the iron plate beneath gets red
hot, and so keeps up constant COM
bustion, at the same time dispensing
the heat through the room, instead OF
its being sent up the chimney, thus en-
tirely consuming the coal, instead of
filling the hearth with ashes"
DIR. Warren continues;
"In my own house / tried the eXper-
iment for week in the breakfast room,
then in the dining-room, then in the
kitchen, with uniform and complete
success and then / had the sheet-iron
plate put into every fire-place-and
there are many throughout the house
with equal success. So do with the
fireplace in my official residence.
When the fire is once made up, say a.
bout 10 A. NJ, for the day, an OCCASION
al poke and possibly single replenish
ment suffices for the day. In my own
case, and also at my hotel here, where
three scuttles were required, one now
suffices. You must not smile at the
simplicity of my suggestion, but at
tribute my offering to sincere desire
to contribute what little is in my pow
er to promote the comfortof, and lessen
expense to, every householder in the
good old town of Hull"
A citizen of Hull, who has since tri-
ed this plan, writes: ''The result in my
house, where / have had quarter-inch
iron plates fitted at the bottom of two
fire-grates, at an expense of two shil-
lings each, is a saving in coal of about
one-third, with a considerable increase
in heat. A large number of persons
have already satisfactorily tried the ex-
pertinent, and the use of the plates is
likely to become general in this local
ity."
The cost of the experiment is mere
trifie.

HOME N.-Children
hunger perpetually for new ideas, and
the most pleasant way of reception is
by the voice and the ear, not the eye
and the printed page. The one mode
is natural, the other artificial. Who
would not rather listen than read? An
audience will listen closely from the
beginning to the end ofan address which
not onein twenty of those present would
read with the same attention. This is
emphatically true of children.-They
will learn with pleasure from the lips
of parents what they deem it drudgery
to study in the books; and even ifthey
have the misfortune to be deprived of
the educational advantages which they
desire, they cannot fail to grow up intel
ligent if they enjoy in childhood and
youth the privilege oflistening daily to
the conversation of intelligent people.
Let parents, then, talk much and talk
well at home. A father who is habit
ually silent in his own house may be
in many respects, wise man; but theis
not wise in his silence. We sometimes
see parents who are the life of every
company which they enter, dull, silent
uninteresting at home among thei
children. If they have not mental &C
tivity and mental store sufficient 70
both, let them first provide for thei'
own household.

AN EXTRAORDINARY LAKE.-In
Nevada, near Bagtown, there isasmall
lake, the surface of which is covered,
like ice, with alkali, to the depth of
ten to twenty inches, almost perfectly
white and pure. The water, which is
but slightly impregnated with it, does
not seem to be particularly injuriousto
man or beast. 1t is sometimes soabun-
dant as to destroy vegetation, though
it is the very substance our farmers are
ever ready to add to the soil as a fertil-
izer, in the shape ofleeched or unleech-
ed wood ashes. A traveller declared,
after eating several meals in succession
at the overland stations, of soda biscuit
and rancid bacon, and partaking freely
of this water, that he was fast turning
into a miniature soap factory.

OUR STATE ORPHANs.-The report
of Thomas HI. Burrows, State Superin-
tendent of the soldiers orphans, has
just been published, and contains many
interesting statements. 1t is well
known thatthe State has assumed the
care and education of the orphan chill
dren of Pennsylvania soldiers whogave
up their lives in defence of the country.
Schools have been organized, and the
children, boys and girls, are being cared
for and educated. During the past
year four new schools have been estab-
lished, and three additional schools,
now required, will be organized as soon.
as possible. There have been admitted
during the year 1875 children, and the
total number of scholars on the 1st of
December was 1858, of which 1851
were boys, and 1,O67 girls. These are
all cared for until they reach the age Of
sixteen, when they are discharged, be-
ing gjudged competent at that age to do
something towards earning alivelihood.
The total expense of the system for the.
year ending November 80, was $780,
1925, which is small sum, when we
consider the benefits which are to be
derived from it. !.
