Ten Minutes for Reti'eshment.
From the Philadelphia Post.
How much longer will We be condemned
te hear this horrid cry upon our railroads.
On certain German railroads about the ordi.
nary dinner hour man gets on the train
and takes orders of oil the passengers who
desire dinner. At another station, about
half IN hour distant, the said dinners are
placed before each passenger the number
of orders having been telegrsphed from ,ha
station where they were taken.) For half
an hour or thereabont the passengers are at
liberty to enjoy their meal, and then at an.
other station the empty plates and baskets
are taken away. It need not be supposed
that there is any Inconvenience or possible
discontinue in those railway dinners.
One does not hold plate on his lap and
cup of coffee In his hands. Upon the arm.
val Of the train at the dinner station each
passenger ordering the meal is furnished
with tall round basket, about Is high but
not of 20 great diameter as -four barrel.
This basket has fiat top, with rim round
1t, and door in the side, which, opening,
shows the shelves within, with hot soup,
vegetables, meat, perhaps desert, bottle of
wine, bread, etc., etc. A depression in tho
top Of the basket holds the drinking glass.
and al the passenger has to do Is to take
out his plates, one At time. and eat at his
leisure. The cost of this meal is something
like half dollar. The value to hungry,
tired traveller 10 at least five dollars. Are
the American people 20 stupid that they
would not appreciate some improvements Of
this kind. Let any enterprising railsosd
try them.

Woman Suffrage Meeting in f falmouth.

Mr.. EDrroR:-I think your expression toe
strong when you say that Mr.. Starbird Sun
dertook to evangelize the community" BE-
If you know Mr.. Starbird personally, you mus
believe him to be modest, unassuming man
who although an earnest is not an impulsivt
worker. He is thinker, and could see the
right side of question all the same, whether
the community in which he lived see it or not
Having seen it, he would not fear, even though
alone, to express his convictions. Yet he
doubtless did not call together the foes of his
cause without fully expecting its friends to
meet them.
The defeat is trife, and no particular
injury to the cause, while the fact of meeting
having been called for the cause, must certain
ly prove help. For while this question is be-
ing sifted in other States, it would seem to be
good time for somebody somewhere in Maine
to venture on an experiment.
The meeting at Falmouth will no dodbt sci
the good people of that town to thinking, as
they never yet have thought, upon the inter.
esting subject. And the more they think upon
it, the paler will become the prejudices of cen
turies All honor to those who dare face thos,
prejudices fearlessly in good cause.
BELIEVER.

with colored individual with whom he was

his intention to take vacation of about two
years, after which he would see if he could get
back to the United States Senate. The vii

for the ex-President until in four or Ave years
he gets ready to participate in political affairs
again. During his Presidential career Mr..
johnson has issued the extraordinary number
of nineteen veto messages-more than those Of
all his predecessors combined. Besides the
nineteen veto messages he has killed five bills
by pocketing them and sixteen bills, not being
signed by him have become laws by the expi-
ration of time. So that in all Mr.. johnson
has found himself compelled to differ with the
representatives of the people forty times
