Don't Worry Abomt Yourself.

To retain or recover health, persons
should be relieved from anxiety concern
ing disease. The mind has power over
the body. For person To think that he
has a disease will often produce that dis
ease. This we see effected when the
mind is intensely concentrated upon tho
disease.
Il is found in the hospital that surgeons
and physicians who make 4 speciality OF
certain diseases are liable to die of it
themselves; and the mental power is SO
great that sometimes people die Of diseas-
es Of which they have only imagination.
We have seen person sea sick in aniici-
patton OF sea voyage. before reaching
the vessel. We have Known person 10

well persons. 70 remain well, should be

possible directed from themselves. 1t is
heir laiti, that men are saved; and it

not by their bodies. Their bodies have
no life of themselves; they are only re-
reptacles of life, tenemcnts tor their souls.
aud the will has much to do in continuing
the physical occupancy or giving ii up.

In cur issue of Monday we COM
mented upon the gratifying assurance
from Washington that owing to the
reduction in expenses in all the De-
partments, there would be no Def
cheney Bill presented TO Congress at
its next session. But this is not the
only gratifying fact connected with
the financial operations of the Admin
istration. The current financial year
closes with the month of June, A
footing up of the past monthly state
ments, and continuation of the
figures for the current month on the
present basis, will, it is stated, give
the result for the year very nearly as
fellows:
Receipts from all sources............s360,00O 000
Expen ditures, including interest
ON the public debt....-.......... 3z3, 900, GOO
Surplus applicable to reduction
OF debt S0eB0,O00
This is certainly very different from
the electioneering assertion of HoRA-
ITO SEYMOUR. that theyears expenses
Of the army alone would be $240,000.-
600. His friend and supporter, Mr..
DELMAR, made still more eompre-
hensive and lugubrious prediction.
in which he figured up deficiency
for the year of S134,000,000. These
Democratic statisticians, however, did
hot distress the country very much.
Commissioner DAVID A. WELLS
was much more successful In his esti-
mates. His. figures were: Receipts,
$3.50. 100000; expenditures. 1926
100000 This was remarkably cor
rect forecast of the years finances,
and ought to add weight to the gen.
eral views and recommendation of
Mr.. WELLS. In the meantime, as
favorable as the exhibit of the first
fiscal year of General GRANTS Ad-
ministration is, there is every reason
to believe that a steady Improvement
will be witnessed henceforth. The
economy with which the Treasury and
other departments are now managed,
is apparent to all. Secretary BOUT
WELL has already turned the tide Of
public opinion 10 favor of his policy,
the last financial statement having
outweighed with the people, all the
remonstrances of Wall Street and the
sharpest criticisms of the New York
press. With continued peace and
good crops, the next yearly exhibit
cannot but be highly satisfactory.

not one of them coming into or run
ming through the county seat2 Have
we the enterprise to take hold of the
significance of the times, and 90 on
with it to prosperity and wealth, or
workings of others and die IN our
shell?
As we stated last week, if the right
kind of interest is manifested, and an
effort made to- induce st. Louis to
build a road crossing the River at this
place, we will then be certain of hay
ing all the proposed Ohio river roads
run through our place. W 2 do not
ask that they terminate here; but all
the roads that aim at Southern con-
nections by the way of Paducah can
be induced to pass through our place.
We have been asked. What in
| ducements can you offer st. Louis for
/ this route?" We would reply by ask
ing any one to take the map and ex-
anime the proposed route from that
city through Du0uoin and Golconda
| to Nashville, making connections at
other points with Norfolk and the
South. We are sanguine that IN time
this road, now under charter all the
way, will be built. But can We afford
TO await when little interest mani
tested might procure it at much
earlier day.
Railroads are becoming the very
nerve and bone of our country, and
any feasible proposed route need not
so begging, fits friends will but bring
It rightly before the parties and the sec
tons of country that are to be bene
fitted by it. And this route opens VI
to st. Louis trade, and large one
that she could not get nor control II
any other way. Now will our people

to the hope that after while fate vii

The French Atlantic Gable, it is

vessels are the Scanderia, Of 1 800 tons,

sections intended to be laid between
the Island of st. Pierre to the coast of
the United States, a distance of 600
miles. The depth at which the cable
will lie between Brest and st. Pierre
is not yet accurately known, but will
be fully ascertained before the exne-
dition starts. From St, Pierre to the
States the whole distance has
been sounded, and the cable will lie
IN shallow water, the greatest depth
being 800 fathoms. The Great East

From the Goleonda Herald, June 10.l
Southern Illinois Railroad - What
Will our PeOnIe Hop

VIII our People DO?
In a recent number of the Evans
vile JOURNAL, we noticed that at a
meeting of her business men, they
proposed TO build railroad from that
city to Paducah, Ky, via Carmi. Ills.
IL can be seen, by this move, that Ey-
ansville Is fearful that if she does not
do something to hold on to her South
ern Illinois and Kentucky trade. that
It will be taken from her, almost en-
tirely, by the building of the Chicago,
Olneg and Paducah road.
In order to prevent this her mer-
chants have begun to move for a road
through this part of the country. 1t
will run on a direct line from Evans
vile to Carmi, and from Carmi to our
place, on a direct line through White.
Gallatln, Hamilton aud Pope Coun-
ties; all OF which do large business
IN that city, and which she would lose
It she had no road offering greater
inducements for merchants to 90
there.
The reasons Why the proposed road
should strike the river at this point is
that BY SO doing it would get the busi,
ness here; that there is no other
point below US of any Importance m
til it reaches Paducah; that the object
of the road is for the trade of this
part Of the State. and that it is much
cheaper to follow the river from here
to Paducah, as it is on an air line.
This new proposed route makes
connection, for Evansville, with all
these roads which are striking for the
Southern trade, and all of which can
and should be brought to the river at
this place. Paducah cannot be Injured
by It, nor IS there any other place be-
low Us to offer any inducements for
1 our place to be avoided.
Now, are our citizens going to in
terest themselves in this matter ar
not9 Are We to have our county lit
orally cut into checks with roads. and

ERsoN, in his recent ddress before
the Woman's Suffrage Convention in
Boston, says:
IF the vote is to be granted to wo-

we must arrange to have the voting
clean and honest aud polite. The
State must build houses, instead of
dirty rooms and corner shops; the
State must build palaces and halls, in

that reform upon the general voting
Of the State all can feel.
