Congestion of the brain is dan
gerous disease, and pretty sure to termin-
ate fatally. Mcfarland had it, with the
peculiarly that instead Of killing him it
put him in condition to kill another per
son. This extraordinary manifestation
OF the disease ought to have brought on
an investigation of causes. The world
would like to know how congestion of
the brain can be induced in such form
that the life Of the patient can be saved
by killing somebody. But a law court
differs from a consultation in this, that
results are regarded in the one, and
causes in the other, of the most fmpor-
tance, Incessant sucking, drinking,
night-wandering, and brooding over real
or imagined domestic injuries, seem to
have conspired in McFarland's case to
produce the proper state of congestion
to take life. But. even these would not
have screwed his courage to the stick
ing point without a superinducing
cause, Had the prisoner, said DR..
Hammond, in his testimony-'had the
prisoner kept away from the Tribune Of
fice, his insanity would not have been.

acute spasm, and, before he had recov-

FIRST MORTGAGE BOND
CHESAPEAKE & OHIO
Railroad Company.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, con-
Meeting the Atlantic coast and the magnih-
cent harbors of the Chesapeake Bay with
the Ohio River at point of reliable navi-
CATION, and thus, with the entire Railroad
system and water transportation of the
great West and Southwest, forms the adj
dItionaI East and West Trunk Line,
so imperatively demanded for the accom-
mediation of the immense and rapidly
growing transportation between the Allan
tic seaboard and Europe on the one hand,
and the great producing regions of the Ohio
and Mississippi Valleys on the other.
The Importance of this Road as n
new outlet from the West to the sea
magnifies it into one of national conse-
ouence, and fnsures to it an extensive
through traffic from the day of its compile
ton; while, in the development of the ex-
tensive agricultural and mineral resources
of Virginia and West Virginia, it possesses,
along its own line, the elements of a large
and profitable local business.
Thus the great interests. both general and
local, which demand the completion of he
CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO RAILROAD to the
Ohio River, afford the surest guarantee of
its success and value, nd render it the
m Ost important and substantial Rail-
road enterprise now i'm progress in
this Country.
Its superiority as an East and West route,
and the promise of an immense and profit
able trade awaiting its completion, have
drawn TO it the attention and cooperation
| of prominent Capitalists and Railroad men
of this City of sound judgment and known
integrity, whose connection with IT, to-
gether with that OF eminent citizens and
business men of Virginia and West Vir-
ginia insurcs an energetic, honorable,
aEd successful management.
The road is completed and in operation
from Richmond to the celebrated White
/ Sulphur Springs of West Virginia, 227 miles,
and there remain but 200 miles (now par
TALLY constructed) to he completed, to carry
it to the proposed terminus on the Ohio
River at, or near, the mouth of the Big
Sandy River, $50 miles above Cincinnati
and $50 miles below Pittsburg.
Lines are now projected or in progress
! through Ohio and Kentucky TO this point
/ which will connect the Chesapeake and
Ohio with the entire Railroad systems
of the West and Southwest, and with
the Pacific Railroad.
It's valuable franchises and superior ad
vantages will place the Chesapeake and Obi
Railroad Company among the richest an,
most powerful and trustworthy corpora
tions of the country; and there exists 4

Our Democratic contemporary Is in
formed that neither soldiers orphans nor
refractory girls are merchandise to be
bought and sold for the benefit of any
particular locality, and if they were, our
county would have better bargain in
securing a permanent institution than a
temporary one, with a very reasonable
probability oflosing both. The first and
paramount thing to be considered in the
location of such institutions is1the inter-
est7of the inmates, and if our neighbor
had a wide-awake interest in the sol
diers.s orphans he would not advocate
their isolation at White Sulphur. Our
county is not in the business Of trading
in the children of dead soldiers, nor is it
so contemPdbly sordid as to put its own
interests before those of these helpless
and suffering children. If it was left to
our county to provide for them We opine
that It could do much better for them
than the State has done, and would treat
them far more literally. Here at Della
ware, for example, where our schools
and4ohurches would open their doors
and our people their hearts to these chill
dren, and where there would be oppor-
tunities to teach them trades and find
them useful employment, we could fur
nish them such Home as they need
But in the neighborhood Of White Sui
phur Union soldiers received precious
little sympathy during the war, and we
do not apprehend that their orphan
children viii receive much more, unless
it be, with other nobler exceptions. from
certain Shylocks who, as our neighbor
suggests, would like to make money by
their presence.
Our neighbor asks: ''XVhy, pray. isn't
Delaware county as good a point for an
Orphans Home. as Greene county ?'
But that isn't the point, The question
IS: Why is White Sulphur better place
for such a Home than Xenia, and why
isn't the town of Delaware a better place
for It than either

The remarkable success which attended
our negotiation of the Loans Of the CEN
TRAL. PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY and the
WESTERN PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY,
and the popularity and credit which these
Loans have maintained In the marke cts,
both in this country and Europe, have
shown that the First Mortgage Bonds of
wisely-located and honorably-managed
Railroads are promptly" recognized and
readily taken as the most suitable, safe, and
advantageous form Of Investment, yielding
a more liberal income than can hereafter be
derived from Government Bonds, and
available to take their place.
Assured that, in the selection and nego-
tiation of superior Railroad Loans, we are
meeting a great public want, and rendering
a valuable service-bOth to the holders Of
Capital and to those great National works
of internal Improvement whose intrinsic
merit and substantial character entitle
them to the use OF Capital and the conf
