A WARNING NBBDBD.--Judge sharswood,
Of Pennsylvania, well observed the other
day, when consenting to receive 1000 bail
for Griffin, the sleepy engineer Of the Erie
railway, that the offence charged was most
grave one, and required stringent punish
ment. The frequent recurrence OF accidents
upon railroads, accompanied with loss Of life,
required that employees should be taught
that there Is law which will lay hold upon
them, although there were circumstances
In the prisoners case which appeal to our
sympathies. Yet from the return II appears
that when 1t was the prisoners duty TO be
upon the side track, he moved his engine
upon the main track, whereby many yalu
able lives were sacrificed. This man Grl0in
did not purposely commit a crime, and yet,
through his criminal carelessneEs, ten human
beings were roasted alive, Others were crushed
10 death, and sorrow and mourning carried
to many households. An act productive Of
so much misery cannot DO overlooked. The
Culprlt must be severely punished, not be-
cause there is any danger Of his ever COM
hitting the offence second time, but as a
warning to the tens of thousands of other
railroad employees who may be tempted to
fall asleep at their posts, or In other ways
endanger the lives Of hundreds intrusted to
their charge. An act of the Pennsylvania
Assembly, In which State Griffin Is to be tried
assuming that he cannot obtain the stlpu-
lated bail, or obtaining 1t, returns to trial
-inhicts an imprisonment for the offence
charged against him of not exceeding five
years, and fine not exceeding 5000. In
view Of all tho wretchcdness he has occa-
stoned, Griffin will doubtless not be disposed
TO murmur at the innictlon Of this punish.
ment, as o warning measure.

Our LIQUoR BnL.-Once In a while a
pensive man may be heard to say; 81 wish
| had all the money back that have spent
In drinks for the past ten years." Not one
man in twenty who, restrospectively gazing,
gives utterance to that wish, has In his mind
an ipproximating effort Of the amount which
person of even moderate bibulous propen.
sitter may spend upon drink In the space Of
ten years. Leaving wines and expensive
liquors quite out Of the question, let US see
what q plain cocktailist or modest imbiber
Of old rye Is likely to disburse on his favor
lite refreshments In the course OF year.
Take very moderate man as sample.
Assume that he drinks every day one glass
Of ale at ten cents, and four glasses Of whis-
key at fifteen. That amounts to seventy
cents a day, which makes four dollars and
ninety cents week. Multiply by four, aud
you have nineteen dollars and sixty cents q
month, which comes, as you know, to one
hundred and thlrty-fve dollars and twenty
cents year. Thus II the man who had car
ried on at this rate for ten years had all his
liquor money back, his pocket would be In
fated to the tune OF thirteen hundred and
fifty-two dollars. This is only a small-beei
| calculation; but think Of the men who spend
| five times this amount on liquors, and re-
| member that their name Is legion.

THE ADDRESS Issued to the Republicans Of
Texas by the State Central Committee closes
with the following statement Of the Issues at
stake In the pending election;
"Party lines are now established. There
arc but two sides to this great question. On
the one you have united, solid body Of men,
moved by the eternal principles Of truth, and
sustaining the policy Of Congress; and, on
the other, there Is heterogeneous mass,
made up Of the Democrats, secessionists,
downright rebels, Knights Of the White
Camelia, Ku Klux, and renegade Republi-
cans, who love the spoils Of office better than
the welfare Of the country. These are the
two parties before you for your votes. Cen
eral Z. j. Davis Is the representative Of the
first, and General A. J. Hamilton Is the
acknowledged representative of the last
Choose ye, then, between them. Claiming
Republicanism, General Hamilton stands be-
fore the world the leader OF Its enemies, their
adopted field marshal. No honest Demo-
crat will touch him, and no Republican can
give him his support. And now, Republl-
cans Of Texas, by all you hold dear, by the
love you bear your wives and children, by
your patriotism and love Of country, we i'm.
plore you not 10 be deceived by the honeyed
speech Of the man who is seeking to betray
you. Relax no efforts at organization, and
yield not to tho threats or intimidations OF
| your and your country's enemies. Stand
firmly, work faithfully, and victory will yet
! reward you for all your sufierings, Priva-
lions, and wrongs"

The liberality Of the State OF Connecticut
towards the families and orphans Of h,r
soldiers who fell In the war Is set forth In the
sum Of $26l, 057.l7, which had been paid up
to the 1st Of April, 1869, for their support.
The total number Of orphan children main.
tanned by the State Is 1894, and not one Of
these Is In an almshouse or poorhouse. Nine
teen twontleths Of them are In private fami-
lies, the other twentieth being cared for In
the Mansfield institution, Fitch's Soldiers
Orphan Home at Darien, and In the Orphans
Asylums Of Hartford ard New Haven.
Pennsylvania has done even better than
Connecticut In this noble charity. Governor
Curtin pledged the faith Of the State to the
departing volunteers at the opening OF the
war, that their children should be provided
for In case they fell In the cause of their
country, and Governor Geary redeemed the
pledge with the approval Of the whole people
Of Pennsylvania. Public schools have been
organized for these orphans, In which more
than three thousand five hundred children
are now growing up for lives Of usefulness.
A recent report of the condition ofthe schools
gives the gratifying information that the
health Of the pupils is excellent, and that
both their moral and mental training Is all
that could be desired. The boys divide their
time between the school-room, the wood
shed, and the farm; while the girls are
thoroughly trained In all the mysteries Of
the kitchen, the laundry, and sewing ma
chine. At the age Of sixteen the State re-
linquishes her guardianship over the orphans
Of her soldiers, but she has by that time fur
nished every one of them with abundant
means to make his or her way In the world,
aud has thus set an example to her sister
States Of noble muni6cence and scrupulous
regard for plightcd obligation.

THE OTHER EVENING two Irlshmen, new to
the country and belonging to tho better class
OF emigrants, arrived In Toledo late in the
evening and stopped at tho Island House.
They were shown to room far up In the
building, the gas lighted, and they were left
alone. The weather was hot, the windows
open, and the two gentlemen sat down ia
enjoy chat. Soon, attracted by the light
and the prospect of square meal, a troop
Of the hungrest of the hungry Toledo mos
qultoes bore down on the Inflated IIibernians.
They fought and bled, but the enemy con-
stantly received achievements, and the trav-
elers were In despair. The clerk was sum-
moned and asked agonlzinglyi SIS there no
defence against these bloodthirsty craturs ~
He told the travellers that If they put out their
gas and closed their windows they would ex.
perience relief. They acted on the sugges-
ton and placed themselves between the
sheets. Just as they began to doze q light.
ming bug, which had strayed into the room,
caught the eye Of one Of the travellers. He
reused his companion with punch. "Ja-
mic, Jamie, ii Is no use Here's one Of the
craturs sarchin' for us wild a lantern"

MEETING OF THE PLATE PRINTERS UNION.
The members of the abovc-named assocla-

consideration the action Of the president
Of the National Bank Note Company In
employing men who are not regular members
Of the union and arc working under the
usual prices,
President slocum occupied the chair.
ing, the following resolution was read and
adopted
Rs,oires, That we held our business not only
to be OF skill but Of trust, aud that we will not
hatard our reputation by working with men
who are not acquainted with the profession
R,iolred, That the effort of the plate prlnters
Of the National Bank Note Company to OBJ
tain fair price for their labor be sustained
The committee appointed at the last meet
Ing to confer with the president Of the COM
pany reported that they had been treated
with contempt by tina. Official, and those
composing the Committee were subsequently
discharged from their positions by his orders.
Upon the reception OF this news by the
meeting other and stronger resolutions were
drawn up and passed condemning the course
Of the National Bank Note Company.
A dispatch was received from the Union
at Washington city stating that a special
meeting was called this evening, in which
the members pledged their support OF their
brethren In this city, and told them to "stick
1t out"
Should the officers Of the Bank Note Com.
pany still continue on their course, they will
have to encounter formidable strike
among their employees, which will cause
considerable trouble In the currency printing

WoRLDLISEss IN RELIGIos.-Two mat
ters of much moment are seasonably and
sensibly discussed in the New York Metho-
dist Tho one Is "Sunday Clothes" and the
bad practice Of making the church place
for the display Of The latest fashions. 1t Is
indeed quite true that millinery rather than
religion fills the churches, and that fash
lonable congregation may well inspire a
doubt whether they are
Miserable sinners, met for prayer and praise
Or an animated series from La Courier De.
Danes.
But the Methodist is less likely to effect a
reform In this matter than in the other to
which II has addressed itself-the worldli-
ness of camp-meeting. care they camp
meetings or plc-nicsi" asks the editor, speak
ing OF these assemblages. Clearly the lat
ter, us any one may DO convinced who will
travel along the line of any railway In New
England at this season of the camp-meetlng
Observance. And the popping of corks, the
cracking Of peanut shells, and the gossip OF
lce-cream eaters, OF which the editor COM
plains, are innocent abuses In comparison
with others that might be named In connec-
ton with this manner of Out-Of-door wor-
ship, at least in the populous Eastern States.

Exuberiant Health

Is q blessing vouchsafed to few. Even those
who have been favored by nature with
strong constitutions aud vigorous frames are
apt to neglect the precautions necessary to
preserve these precious endOwments. To-
deed, as rule, the more healthy and robust a
man Is, the more liberties he is inclined to
take with his own physique. 1t is some
consolation TO the naturally weak and feeble
to know that they can be so invigorated and
built up, by proper use of the means
which science has placed at their disposal
as to have a much better chance of long
life and exemption from disease aud pain,
than the most athletic of their fellows who
are foolish enough to suppose themselves
invulDerable, and act accordingly.
Il is lot too much to say that more than
half the people OF the civilized world need
an ocCdSiOna! tonic, to enable them to sup.
port the strain upon their bodies and minds,
which the fast life of this restless age occa-
sions. In fact, pure, wholesome, unerciting
tonic is the grand desideratum of the huSy
millions, and they have the article 10 HOS

TTAMINAL MEDICINE, 1. e., it imparts per.

rivaling it, but they have all either per-
ished in the attempt, or been left far in the

CESS OF THE PRESENT CENTURY, and il is
quite certain that no proprietary medicine
in this country is as widely known, or as
generally used.
