Railroad Slgnais..

The varieties Of the ''toot" of the 10
comotive, and gyrations of the arms o
the conductors by day, or lanterns by
night, are about as intelligent to mos
people as first-class Choctaw. The fol
lowing will give the reader correct Idea
Of their signiiicatlon:
One whistle brakes
Two whistles-"0f brakes" ".
Three whstles--sBack up"
Continuous whistles Danger. "
A rapid succession of short whistles
is the cattle alarm, at which the brakes
will always be put down.
A sweeping parting of hands on level
of eyes, is a signal to ego ahead"
"A downward motion of the hand, with
extended arms, 's.to, stop
A beckoning motion of one hand, "to
back =
A lantern raised and lowered vertical
ly. is signal for staring" swung at
right-angles or crossways the track, ssto

A red flag waved upon the track must
be regarded as signal of danger. So
of other signals given with energy.
Hoisted at station is signal for a

Stuck up by the roadside, it is sig
nal of danger on the train ahead.
Carried unfurled upon ,an engine, is
a warning that another engine OF train

The valae Of Advertising.

Many a business man is afraid of the
expense of advertising, and yet will pay
high rents for d prominent store to ex.
|hibit his wares, and put up expensive
signs. and seems not to know that both
are expensive methods of advertising
The instances of mer who have made
fortunes by advertising, are too numer-
Gus toa1question: but how have they
doneit9 BY exercising good judgment;
by knowing how, where, and when to
advertise. The whole secret is there
Advertising has become sdence--and
unless its principles are adhered to, large
amounts of money may be expended to
no purpose. To advertise successfully;
requires more knowledge of the means
than most business men possess, and
more thought than they have time to be
stow upon i. Hence many large houses
find it profitable to employ competent
men who make ittheir speciality s.
Iyenture. the opinion, that every per-
son experienced in advertising will bear
me out in saying, that the business man
who controls the sale of an article that
supplies an actual want, need not fear
to invest largely in advertising, if he
does it with intelligent TACT and discrim-
'ination as to the use of the best means.
Under proper circumstances, he cannot
fail of realizing afoftune

The Ruling Passion Strong I'm
Death.

The New York Star, in an article on
betting, relates the following:
| A distinguished physician called to
attend an inveterate better, who was at
tackled with sudden and dangerous ILL
ness. After careful diagnosis, the
doctor assured him that his condition
was extremely critical, and his chances
of recovery very doubtful. Thereat the
|patient rallied somewhat, and the follow
ing colloauy ensued:
"Ill bet you hundred dollars, doc
tor, that l don't die"
"My dear sir, you may not; but !
think it proper to advise you that, in my
opinion, you will"
'-Well, doctor, if l die will / Cd to
heaven?''
81 hope so, SIR"
"Will l be an angel p
ayes, sIr"
'Will have wings?"
| II presume so, sir"
"Well now, doctor, when you die will
| you go to heaven and be an angel ?'
"Yes, / suppose / will ~
swell then, doctor, I'll bet you hum
dred dollars I'll Out-fy you.'
The man died, but the doctor, who
has not yet taken the bet, is still living.
If as some theorists hold, we take with
us into the new world the same propen-
sites which we have in this, we have no
doubt that all the betting young Ameri-
cans, and old too, who read this, will,
J in due time, be running around to make
bets on the flying match Of our deceased
sport, whose ruling passion was strong

shot as a Medicine.

DR.. Maydieu, of France, has revived
the old practice Of giving shot for bill.
ious cohc. His method is, to take No.
5 shot, after carefully washing them with
sweet oil, and give a desert spoonful
every half hour. He claims that in five
or six hours the vomiting ceases. The
editors of the s.Pacifc Medical ard Sur
gica1 Journals relate the following an
ecdote, illustrative of this treatment -
A clergyman was taken very sick and
stopped st the house Of a good old lady,
who was familiar with the treatment, who
stated thst she had no shot, but a bullet
which would answer the, purpose. She
gave it to the divine, who. after beng
assured Of its great efficacy, swallowed
it, and to his JOY and surprise found that
in q very short time he was entirely re-
lieved of the collie. Before leaving, he
expressed some doubt to the old lady
about the piece of lead SO heavy finding
its way through the bowels. "Oh. my,
she replied, s'you need have no anxiety
about that, as it has been through me
ten or twelve times" a

nIusty Oats. {

A South Carolina correspondent, after
the loss of a horse, supposed
to result from eating mnsty oats, says; |;
ssI am certain more horses, die in the
South from eating damaged leats, than
from all other causes. As the oats are
cut rather green, and often with many
green weeds among them, it is, very 3dif-
fcult to keep them from molding more
or less in the center. Many animals die
from this cause, which are supposed to
have had blind staggers, As IN the case
of mime Another horse recently died
near me insthe same ways after being fed
on oats mostly sound, but some OF. the
bundles musty in the middle. Report

A Curiosity in Nature.


A gentleman from Messy Creek Jefferson
county, yesterday presented as with photograph
Of snake hanging at fuD length, ofwhch he
gives substantially the folio ring history
y few days since, the snake was found
suspended in a spiders web under q shelf
IN the store Of Messrs. johnson & Branner,
at Messy Creek On inspection, it was
clearly ascertaiued that tie sn Ike, about a
loot in length, and sill alive, bad been lit
orally captured by a spider about The size Of
a common house fy. The spider had spun
AS web tightly around the neck and entire
head Of the snake, and. drawn him clear
from the floor, making him 4 close prisoner
The snake was taken, whilst in the coils of
the spider, to Mr.. RufTner, a photograph.
or, and the picture is before US as we write.
The facts are curious, and suggestive Of va
rious theories. After the photograph was
taken the web was removed from he snake,
whcreupou he exhibited his wicked instincts
striking at those present, evidently show
ing desire 10 aveuge himself for the TEL
Nble indigniiy put upon him by soinsignii-
cant creature as a spider not much larger
than a grain Of wheat. We regret that
the snake was finally killed, instead Of be-
ing saved that his peculiar species might
be identified. 1t was evidently n vcno.
nous reptile, which had crawlcd into the
store unobserved, to be thus ANONYMOUSLY
captured and brought to rUc
Wig.
