1t is generally admitted by honest ply
sicians, that when once the Consumption
is fairly fastened upon the lungs, no hu-
man power can save the patient from
death. They also say that about fifty
per cent. of those who die from this dis
ease can trace the cause to neglected
cough or cold, which might have been
cured by small bottle of liquid Opo-
deidoc. or what is the same thing. John

DIR. Wistar knew this when he discovered

correctness of his opinion.

KENTUCKY LEGIsLATIoN.-The char
acter of the work being done by the
Democratic Legislature of Kentucky has
been we'll described as that which has
"no ear for mercy or heart for simple
justice To conjure up legal fictions BY
which to hinder and impede the full en-
joyment to the colored race of the privi-
leges of the 10Th amendment will confer
upon them, has been, says the Louisville
Commercial, the burden of its occupa-
ton by day and the idol of its thoughts
by night" 1t is a body of BourboDs
and its love of the defunct system of sla-
very is only second to its love of whisky.
Made up of Nasbys and Pograms, it
strives to turn backward the wheels of
progress, and obstinately refuses to learn
of the present. 1t has just refused to
pass bill legalizing negro testimony in
courts of justice. Nine democrats had
the manliness to vote for the measure
and one republican @ the unspeakable
meanness to vote against it. In the mat
ter of common schools, the Bourbons
have determined on a measure which
will Danish them altogether in the even
the school fund is used for the benefit O
the colored children. And this is Ken
lucky legislation in this year of grace

they first make mad"

Rutland n Burlington Railroad
Case.

The famous Rutland d Burlington
Railroad Case, being mainly a contes
between the first and second mortgag,
bondholders, has finally come to an end
a decision or Mandate having beer
rendered by the Supreme Court, at Rut
land last week. We copy a few com
ments and explanations from the Rut
land Herald, by which it will be seen
that the Mandate is not likely to result
in any change in the management a;
follows:
ut will be remembered that at the
special session of the Legislature, in
1869, the holders of the second mortgage
bonds of the Rutland Il Burlington rail
road were Incorporated by the name OF
the Rutland Company" and were au-
thorized to issue preferred stock for the
purpose of retiring the first mortgage
bonds. or such of them as their holders
would surrender for that purpose. By
far the greater number in amount of the
holders of these bonds have consented to
receive such preferred stock in exchange
for their bonds, but small number, rep
resented by the orators in this cause,
have refused to make the exchange, and
now the court have decided that they
must be paid prior to the first of June,
and in default of such payment that
Messrs. Cheever and Hart, shall, as Trus-
tees under the first mortgage, take pos
sessi n Of and control the road
We learn from trustworthy sources
that there is no doubt that such payment
will be made, and that there will be no
actual change Of possession of the road
and property. The only change as we
understand it, will he that after the first
of June the road will be run by the Rut
land Railroad Company, of which Mr..
Page is President"
After copying the Mandate of the
Court, the Herald says farther:
"This decision substantially ends a
long litigation and confirms the title of
the Rutland Railroad Company to all
the property of the Rutland & Burling-
ton Railroad, subject only to the lien for
the uncongerted bonds under the first
deed of trust or mortgage. These out
standing bonds amount to seven hundred
and eighty thousand dollars and interest.
The paid up capital of the Rutland
Railroad Company is over four millions
of dollars, and, with the right OF issue,
preferred stock to pay the outstanding
first bonds, the inference of the Court
will prove to be the truth, that the stock.
holders of this company will take such
steps as will result in the payment of the
outstanding first mortgage bonds, and
obviate the necessity of any transfer
from the present managers"

The METHODIST Book CONCERy-A minority
report on the alleged frauds i'm the Methodist
Book Concern at New York, signed by Rev.
Henry Slicer and others, regards the system of
employing a middle man to purchase for the
house as damaging and discreditable, especially
since II appears that in the article of paper the
said middle man has been paid commissions on
paper he did not buy, but which was ordered
directly from the house. 1t is not known how
much his profits and commissions have
amounted to, but the purchase in this depart
ment since his connection with it have
amounted to seven hundred thousand dollars
His profits on sixty-three Thousand six hundred
dollars in one instance, are set down at
nearly seven thousand dollars The minority
also find objection to the manner i'm which
the bindeIy has been managed, showing losses
counted for, OF over twenty thousand dollars
The appropriation of gold sweepings by the head
OF the bindery, amounting to at least twelve
nundred dollars year, is another ground of
complaint. The minority feels compelled to say
also that the methods of making purchases in
the printing department, the methods of paving
wages and keeping accounts thereof in the bind
goods received, have been defective and likely
therefore, to lead to losses. They at the same
time express their belief and hope that the book
committees investigations have so far awakened
attention, and will head to such improvements
In the methods of business, that the Book Con-
Germ will be secured to a verv great extent
against the possibility Of similar irregularities
and losses hereafter.
The New York Sun, Times, and other Jour
nails, in view Of these disclosures, comment with
severity upon the general management of the
Book Concern, and call for a sweeping reform
at once, If it expects to retain the confidence of
the Methodist public.

CH1LDREN's PAITIEs-The Lancet has the
following admirable observations on children :
parties, n subject akin to the "late hours, re-
Gently discussed In the papers:
=, Children's parties are among the many pecu-
uarltles OF our present life. The scale and
style OF them at the present day are quite pecu-
llar. Inc little guests are summoned two or
three weeks beforehand, probably by gilt-edged
circulars, and in terms formal and compliment
tary; they assemble in the evening, and stay
well on towards midnight.
We shall leave to others the consideration of
the moral consequence with all the forms of
1ashl0nabe society, and shall cOnfine ourselves
10 consideration of the physical consequences,
which we take to be injurious and undeniable.
Children are excited beforehand, and still more
at the time. They are dressed insufficiently:
they dance themselves into great fatigue; they
eat and drink at late evening hours what would
try their digestion badly enough in the midday
vigor; and, worst of all, they lose from two to
six hours sleep.
The Interior consequences of this disar-
rangement OF their habits and their functions
are paleness, languor, and the development OF
various other ailments. By all means let chill
dren have their own gatherings, but let them be
within reasonable hours. Let food be simple,
dress suffi cient and warm. And above all, let
not the precious hours OF sleep be curtailed
just when, by reason of excitement and exhaus-
ton, they need to be extended.
What pleasure are children to get out of socie-
~ when they become young men and women, if
they are to be satiated and exhausted with for
NAL and late evening parties when they have
barely gOtintO their teens.

AN INDIAN SUICIDE-Hoeo a Red Nan Kills
Hirsself.-On Wednesday an Indian by the name
near the COldwater bridge with a fatal wound
in the throat. He was brought to the village,
and post mortem examination held. 1t ap-
pears from the testimony that he left home
the Pine river. near MillbrOok. He had gone
about four miles from home on the direct
route to his destination When found his body
was yet warm, but life was extinct. 1t seems
that he unsheathed his knife, which is a long
bowie knife, with a blade about eight inches
long and one inches and half wide and with
one heavy stroke thrust it into his neck just
above the breast bone, the knife passing down
ward and trif.e to the left to the depth of
about five inches, and inhicting wound in the
aOrta about one-half inch wide. The blood in
the road indicated that he had walked about six
rods after the fatal stab before he fell. He had
sheathed the knife and held it in his right hand,
his hand resting on his breast. There were no
signs of a scuiile and no signs of foul play
