don't believe any sagacious and un-
-prejadieed mind now doubts the policy
of consolidation. One would have sup
posed that its good results elsewhere
would have been sufficient to salts. Z
even the most old-notioned people
thoce who still stand to it that the earth
stands still-that this policy was the
thing, but the facts are now brought
out too plainly, aud at their very door
they are to be seen. - - y
What has built up our road, which
was well nigh destroyed, and what has
resurrected the old Southside whose
trains have come long since to run like
clock-work, and whose track rides as
easy as that of any road in the South
except its neighbor, the Norfolk road,
which has no equal, and as for the new
part of the Southside road, where the
rail has been laid upon ballasted bed,
why there IS no better railroad any,
where. You slide along so smoothly
and SO noiselessly that you fail to real
izs the rate of speed at which the ma
chine now runs; and then look at the
passenger coaches and freight cars and
the engines upon this consolidated line,
and where do you find such stock +?
| have been over the line, and know
whereof speak And is all this luck ?
Where does the same happen on any
other line III the State? And does any,
body remember the orlorn state of
things and Uncertainty on two Of these
roads before the new theory @ss put
into application =?

COMPENSATION FOR RAILWAY Acc

COMPENSATION FOR RAILWAY ACCl-
DENTs.-The London Economist, in al
luding to the complaints OF railway
companies as to the injustice of the law
on compensation for accidents, observes
that the injustice Of particular cases is
of little conse qnehce so long IS COM
panies are made more careful than they
would otherwise be, from the dread of
the law hanging over them. 1t might
-evenbe & lv;sable to consider whether,
if the system of compensation o injured
passengers is amended, it would not be
expedient to levy fines on railway COM
panies in the public interest whenever
any accident takes place. The como
panies might say they were unjustly
treated, but there is no justice or, injus-
tice in the matter, the only question
being how the public advantage is to be
promoted.

LAw.-The law for the protection of
female employees in New York provides
that whenever any execution issued
upon judgment shall be returned unsat-
isfied the clerk CT the court shall issue
further execution,in default of payment
of which the defendant shall be arrested
and confined in Jail until the said defen-
dant shall pay the said judgment or be

H. Parsons, the attorney for the Work.

had over thirty claims, amounting in
the aggregate to $3.50, against one
clothing firm in that city. Several of
them were paid when the summons
was iasued upon the parties to appear,
and the balance of them will probably
be paid without resort'ng to extreme
measures. NI -s.

CONVENT LIFE-STRASGE ACTION BY A
SISTER OF MERCY.-A strange case came
before the Queens Bench, in London We'd
nesday, February 3. One Catholic lady,
named Saurin, a member of a convent at
Hull, brought an action against two others
one o. them Mrs. Starr. her lady superior
for assault, libel and the detention Of certain
articles of clothing, all the charges arising
out of the expulsion of Miss Saurin from the
conven: for alleged improprieties, which ex-
pulsion, she declares, was calculated to in
lure her character and was effected BY un-
lawful means. The case is full of details
and is likely to occupy some time.
The ladies had lived together in one
convent for many years and had once been
on the best of terms. Their quarrel may
prove instructive; not that it is like ly to re-
veal to US any of the "secrets" of convent
ual life, as the term is sometimes understood,
though it may bring to light one or two Of the
plain truths. The evidence has gone far
enough to prove that the life inside these es-
adjustments is very much like the life out
safeguards between the ladies, heart
turnings, iealousies. "rows" on this side of
the curtain, and in that in which the world
sees peace, propriety, occurrences and sisterly
love, just as in any large family of grown
daughters or ladies' school.

RrS AwAY.-Capt. Wallace, Of the Warm
Springs. came to town last night in search
of the foot sore and weary sojourners in our
midst, that he might gather them up and
take them to place of rest. While gather
ing up the belated travellers, some unmitiga-
ted scamp turned the Captains team loose,
they sped over the road for home, but stopped
not for barley or hay at the old familiar barn,
but continued on up the road as far as the
halfway house, where they straddled gate
post, and were brought up standing. The
only damage done was a broken pole, and
two horses little stiff this morning. OF all
the mean things done in this world, the act
of turning a mans team loose Is the mean
est. From present indications some fellow
will get his head broke in very scientific
manner.

ScURP ON THE LEGS OF PoULTRY.-In
some of the larger breeds of fowls-and, as
we have observed, especially with the Brah-
mas. on reaching two or three years old
the legs occasionally become much swollen,
and covered with scab or scurf. This not
onIy Injuries their appearance. but retards
thrift Such birds grope about, unhealthy
and inactive. A prominent physician in
this city, also deeply interested in the breed
ing and physiology Of our various breeds Of
domestic animals, has ascertained bv micro
scopical investigation, that this scurfiness or
scab is the work of an insect-a scaly kind
of louise. He gives us the following recipe,
which has been found an efectual remedy :
20 grains of carbonate Of soda | ounce of
lard l drachm of sulphur. Applied occa-
sionally on the legs till healthy appearance
is restored.-Practicai Farmer.

FATAL AccIDENT.-The Nevada Gazette
says that man named E. E. Bird was
killed on Monday forenoon by cave in the
claim of the American Company, Manzan-
tia Hill, near North San Juan. Bird and
two other men were holding pipes at the
time. They saw the cave coming, started
and ran from the spot, but in jumping OYER
the ground sluice, Bird slipped and fell,
striking on his head, and breaking his neck.
This is the version of some who were there
at the time. There are others, however,
who think he was knocked into the ground
sluice BY the cave. He covered only
about foot deep by the debris, and was but
slightly bruised. He leaves a wife and
three children.

out of the house his instruments were gone

after short illness, Ruth A. L. Shipley, in
the l7th year Of her age, daughter Of Brice
and Jane Shipley.
Seldom are we called upon to record the
death Of one whose Christian life and char.
acter were so pure and blameless. Con.
verted to God in her fourteenth year, she
united with the NJ. L. Church, where her
exemplary conduct was worthy of imitation.
She loved the Sabbath School, was faithful
in her attendance and much beloved by all
who knew her. In the home circle she was
the idol OF all hearts, and although her now
deeply stricken parents, were unsbleto reach
her in time to soothe her dying moments,
which adds so much poignancy to their
grief, they have the blessed assurance that
her pure spirit was born on angels pinions
beyond the reach of suffering and death.

New USES OF PAPER-One Of the
latest uses Of paper is its application in
the manufacture Of pails, wash basins,
pius, spittcons, etc., aud, strange as it
may appear, il Is nevertheless true, that
the above articles, from n chemically
prepared paper, are superior in many
respects to any ever before made. The
paper is rendered impcrvious to the &C,
ton Of water or acids; the utensils eau
be placed in an oven till the water will
boil 10 them; placed in the sun at the
hottest season OF the year, or exposed to
the severest cold, without the slightest
effect 90 them; where wood would rot
aud iron rust, these articles are unaf.
fected, aud, with proper usage, would
be as good as new. 10 pals there is an
advantage-that water will not taste Of
the material aud will never fall to pie.
ces; being non conductor of heat, will
keep water cool. The articles are coated
with vegetable composition which, il
il does wear of, does not affect their du
rability, aud does not injure them, ex'

representation from the other States

tons which have been INDUCED about
new apportionment Of members at the
present time, seem TO be based upon the
idea that Congress has before il the
facts necessary to authorize a new OPP

repembered that the apportionment and
recent election Of Congressman have
taken place under existing laws of
