Experiments with Meyers patent safety
brake for railroad trains, we're made on the
Michigan Central road on Saturday, which
resulted most satisfactorily. Tee brake is
managed and controlled by the engineer,
who can himself put on all the brakes, and
can also let them off, so that trains can not
only be promptly stopped, but quickly run
back out Of harms way by the engineer
himself. Near Lake, Ind, with this brake,
train running at 30 miles per hour vas
stopped within the space Of one thousand
feet, the engineer merely shutting off steam
and springing the brake. BY q second
trial, with the train running at the same
rate Of speed THE engineer shutting off
steam, springing the brake aud reversing
the engine-the train was stopped in dis.
tance of seven hundred feet, in twenty. eight
seconds.
The third trial was made at faster rate
Of speed, the engineer springiDR the brake,
reversing the engine, releasing the brakes,
and backing Up. This was accomplished in
distance of 800 feet-tme twenty. three
seconds.
The fourth trial was made when the train
was going at full speed-about 80 miles an
hour. The engineer shutting off the steam,
disconnecting the engine, and springing the
brake on the cars. The train was stopped
in distance of 1900 feet. Time-36
seconds.
The general introduction and use Of this
brake on railroads must greatly diminish
the number of accidents and lessen the con
sequent loss of life.

Nelson would arrive in the capital the

General Rosecrans was to leave imme-
diately for Acapulco. There was con-
siderable excitement about the arrival
of Minister Nelson. The foreigners ex-
pect either the annexation of Mexico to
the United States, or a proteotorate over
the Republic. The Mexicans are jealous
and fearful that parties are connecting
bogus claims to lay before the Commits

CONSEQUENCES OF NEGLECT

Those who indOrse the stupid assertion that
"Catarrh will get well of itself, or Is durable
by snufling or inhaling the nostrums in common
use, will do well TO remember that the local dis.
ease depends always upon Preventative eond'-
ton Of the blood.
Medical writers are wont to speak OF Catarrh
as a simple local Inflammation, and both its i'm.
portanco and rational treatment are either
wholly ignored, or receive but passing notice
from the general practitioner; and thus Catarrh
as surely pTedispOses to Consumption as does
the day pIecede tho night, and Is In fact the
prelude to that disease in eight cases out OF ten.
The disease is everywhere prevalent; people
resort to such means as always fail then give
heed to the popular fallacy that it is inCuraOle,
and settle into a sort of mental apathy, encOur-
aged by the belief that the family physician
knows all that is known on the subject; and
thus matters stand, while the disease progresses
until hope is dead, and life becomes a nOckeTy,
when comes the stereotyped and hacknoyed all.
climate" "a sea voyage" "a return Of health
in the spring" etc. but, alas the country re-
ierred 10 is that which lies beyond the confines
of the fostering grave, and the spring is that
season which blooms eternal when litcs titiul
fever is over.
Let those who doubt this portrayal of Catarrh
question the poor CoRsumptive, whose sun OF
life is going down at noon, or watch its progress
upon those who neglect its timely and judiciOus
treatment. A little while and we miss their
coming youth and health have faded from lips
and cheek, the light from the eye has gone out
the hands are folded peacefully over the still
heart-they are gone.
