ENGLISH RAILROADS. Ds.-The power of
Parliament over railways, writes an Ame-
rican in England, is indicated by the
exquisite manner in which they are run.
They are built very extravagantly, and
yield nothing to stockholders. The
ordinary way-stations look like lodges
to q country gentleman's dwelling, and
the stations in the city are more elegant
than the palaces of her Majesty. 1t is a
felony to cross track at o station. If
you want to reach train on the other
side, you must either go over the bridge
or under the track. Officials in uniform
guard the gate, and no one is allowed to
enter the cars without ticket. For
person to ride in first class car who
has second class ticket, Is fraud, pu-
nishable by fine and imprisonment. The
switches are called points. These are
carefully guarded. A room elevated on
tall posts, completely walled with glass,
is assigned to the handles of the
switches. In comfortable room, car
peted, and in the winter warmed and
we'll lighted, the man who tends the
points has his position. He can see in
every direction, and there is no excuse if
he does not attend to his business.
Elegant eating rooms are connected with
the station, and reasonable charges are
required by the authorities. The trains
come in one side and go out the other.
Baggage is never checked. The traveller
must see his baggage on the van, and if
it is taken off at the wrong station, which
seldom happens, he has no redress. A
broad paved road is found in every sta.
ton, where the cabs stand in line.
There is no noise, confusion or solicita-
tion OH the part of cabmen. On your
arrival. the policeman asks you whether
you will have cab or hanson. The
first cab in the line takes your baggage,
and the rate is fixed by law for the dis
tance you ride. For O first class coach
on the line the fare is probably higher
than in any other city in the world. The
guards are in uniform, and are usually
very civil. If you are travelling 200 or.
400 miles, shilling to the guard is
good investment. The law requires that
every line in the kingdom shall run
what is called Parliamentary train once
a day each way. The rate is fixed by
law at q penny mile. This train runs
at inconvenient hours, and stops at
every station. It corresponds to our
emigrant trains. No one takes it who
can help it.

SUMMER PERILs-How TO ESCAPE

SUMMER PERILS-HOW TO ESCAPE
THEM.-It will not do to trife with the health
In hot weather. Vigor oozes through the skin
at every pore, and it is by physical vigor only
that unhealthy influences can be bailied and
repeled. The vital elements are evaporated
in rerspiration. Intense heat converts a man
into self-acting pump, and the moisture that
is pumped out of him is derived from the we'll
springs of life within him. There is great
need, therefore, that these sources Of physical
strength should be in condition to bear,
without danger or inconvenience, the extraor-
binary drain. il they are not in such condi.
tion, the individual becomes languid and low
spirited.
The main thing is to keep the digestive ar.
paratus in good working trim; for if the sto-
mach, the purveyor Of the system, does it's
duty thoroughly, the liver, the bowels the
brain, and the nervous system, being duly
nurtured, will be likely to do theirs. In view
of these facts, it is manifest that q powerful
and wholesome vegetable tonic like HOSTEL
TER'S STOMACH BITTERs is especially re.
quired at this enfeebling season. 1t is the most
admirable of all correctives and invigorants,
and for this reason-it does not over-stimulate
the system. The proportions of aperient, tonic
and stimulating components are so judiciously
graduated, that the processes of invigoration
and puriication go on simultaneously, and no
undue excitement is created in the circulation
or the brain. All unmedicated stmulants,
however pure, excite the pulse and the nervous
system. Their exhilarating effect is temporary,
and when it passes off, the physical and men
tai depression they were employed to remove
returns in an aggravated form. But this is not
the case when HOSTETTER'S BITTERS arc
taken as a stomachic and nervine. The medi-
cinal herbs, roots and gums with which they
are impregnated neutralze the exciting prin-
ciple of the rye spirit, which forms their basis,
and which is, in itself, the most wholesome of
I'll the Varlotles or alcohol. July 16 t6

Rather Good.-The Erie
Republican tells of a good
joke, said to have taken place a
few miles from that city during
the recent hurry in the wheat
harvest. Cooks, like, drug
gists, make mistakes and use
the wrong condiments in get
ting up the dishes for dinner.
In this case the girl Of the pc
riod,' who was hurrying up
he dinner for a lot of hungry
men, picked up the wrong jug,
and in cooking her onions,
poured in a good dose of 'oid
rye instead of vinegar. The
harvesters at the dinner table
relished the onions very mnch
and were not aware that they
had been cooked in whiskey;
but they found it out III a short
time after they were through
eating, and one old stur dy
member of the church was so
drunk from eating the onions
that he was unable to work till
late in the afternoon.

Stone from SOiOmOM's Tenn
pie.

Union Lodge No. 60, A. f.
A. M, of Baltimore, has been
presented with a fragment of
stone from Solomon's temple.
Mr.. John A. Hardenbrook
made the presentation on be-
half of Rev. Mr.. Gilbert. Mr..
Hardenbroo6 in his remarks
stated that Mr.. Gilbert, while
journeying in the East, fell in
with Lieutenant Charles War
rem, of the Royal engineers,
who has been for some time
past and still is engaged, under
the auspices of the Erstern Elk
ploration Fund Society, in
making excavations and explo-
ing the ruins of ancient Jeru-
salem, extensive public notice
Of the remarkable discoveries
he has made having already
been given. Mr.. Gilbert spent
three days with Lieutenant
Warren in examining the won
derful structure known as King
Solomon's Temple, portions Of
which edifce, after a lapse of
several centuries, have been
again brought to light, and
upon leaving brought as a me-
mento a fragment Of the build
ing, cut with his own hands
seventy feet below the surface
of the earth. A portion of this
stone, which closely resembles
marble in its formation, was
presented to the grand lodge of
Pennsylvania, and the balance
placed in the hands of Mr..
Schotield, P. M. of Monumen-
tai Lodge, for distribution to
the principal lodges of Balti-
more, to be laid up in their ar
chives.

ton gins, that they seem now
to be brought almost to perfec-
ton. The latest we have ex-
amined is the 'Gullett Steel
Brush Cotton Gin,' anufac-
tured by the Mystic River Hard
ware Manufacturing Company,
of Connecticut, of which MIR. G.
T. Stronach of this city is the
Agent. This gin combines
many points OF excellence not
heretofore considered in the
construction of gins, while at
the same time it has one or two
draw backs. 1t is certainly
superior to any other we have
examined in the arrangement
of the board, by which
choking is prevented; in the
process tor sweeping the saws;
in Strengthening the Int, and
separating the notes from =
and in delivering it j
lint-room in a light, u. uotreu
condition. and less malgled in
the process of separation from
the seeds.
The draw backs we allude to
consist in the increased power
required to run it, and the
greater complication Of the
parts, which will require more
intelligent operatives than ma
ny of the older gins.
This Gin is beautifully and
substantially constructed, and
is as far ahead of the old and
roughly constructed cotton gins
of forty years ago, as the pres
ent powerful and swift railroad
engine, that brings Henry
Eppes to the Legislature from
Halifax, is of the old white oak

The kissing Deacon.

In one of our puritanical
towns of New England, says an
Eastern paper, lived Deacon
Brown, a very staid dignified
sort of Christian, a perfect
model of propriety. Deacon
Brown had the misfortune to
lose his wife, and at the age Of
forty had found himself with
family of four children; wi
out a mistress to his farm
house. AS he could not ilame-
diately take another wife and
avoid exciting scanda aAd
could not get along ~4taout
some one to take charge of the
kitchen and nursery. ne had
recourse to employing a young
woman as housemaid.
Nancy Stearns was a laugh
ing, romping beauty, who de-
lighted in experimenting upon
the Deacon by way of testing
the strength of human nature.
For a long time the Deacon
was invulnerable; but at last,
in a moment of unguaraod
weakness, he was led into temp
tation, and committing a slight
indiscretion' with his beautiful
house maid. When he recov~
cred his wonted GOODNESS and
presence of mind, he was nor
rified at the enormity of his
sin. In vain he repented and
grieved over lost virtue. Final
ly, as a last effort OF easing his
conscience, at the services on
the following Sabbath morn
ing, he arose and requested the
forbearance OF his brothers and
sisters a few minutes, VII
electrified them by MAXI
following confession:
my Christian trienus, J gu
know that l lost my wife some
months ago, (sobs and tears)
and that Nancy Stearns has
been keeping house for me.
A nd you know | have a little
child not a year old. Well,
sometimes that child would cry
in the night, and it would be a
long time before l could quiet
it, and last Tuesday night
God forgive me;-the child
cried SO bad that Macy arose
and came into the room, and
leaned over the bed to hush the
child-and brothers and sisters,
her leaning over me there made
ne forget Christ a.
" what did you do?' deman-
dod the minister, sternly.
'l-I-ki-ssed herl' SIAM
mered out the Deacon between
his sobs, 'but l have been very
sorry about it, and prayed to
be forgiven, and 1 want you to
forgive and pray for ME, broth
ers and sisters s-za
AS the Deacon bowed him
self upon his seat like the
mighty oak before the tornado,
Deacon Goodfellow arose and
astonished the audience still
more by saying: .'''-,
Brothers and sisters, you
have heard what Brother Brown
has said; now he wants on
forgiveness. For my part be
lieve Brother Brown is t.uly
penitent, and | am willing to
forgive him with my whole
heart. And brothers aud ais

An Adventure Of Commo

An Adventure of Commo-
dore Vanderbilt s Daughter
A stirring incident occurred at
Rye Beach, Westchester coun-
ty, New York, a few days ago,
in which Mrs. Kate Baxter, a
daughter of Commodore Van
derbilt, was the chief actor.
Mrs. Baxter was riding in
a Victoria carriage, accompa-
MED by her child, the little
daughter of a friend, and Mrs.
Prison and child, when the
horse ran away. Mrs. Baxter
determined to first save the
child Of her friend, and watch
ing her opportunity threw the
liGol0 ono- 0ut ON tho grass SO
that it was not injured.
Mrs. Baxter then took her
own child and leaped from the
carriage. Fortunately both es-
capped with slight bruises. Mrs.
Prison was slightly injured
about the head. The child of
the latter was not injured.
The shape of the carriage IA
cilitated the escape of the occu-
,,ants. The vehicle was finally
L-,.shed against a stone wall,
