The Central Railroad of iowa Opene d

We learn from the announcement of the
Treasurer of the company, in another column,
that the CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY OF
Iowa have opened their line across the State,
and given direct communication between st.
Louis and st. Paul. The work upon this line
has been pushed forward with great rapidity.
135 miles of new road having been built and
equipped during the past eight months. The
whole projected line has been finished, with
the exception of about 25 miles, which, hew-
ever, is graded and bridged. The amount of
work thus done to the present time, and the
large expenditure made for the purpose by the
stockholders in advance of the funds received
from the sale of the Company's bonds, show
the con n6dence felt by the Company in the fu-
ture success of the enterprise, and also serve
as a guarantee of the soundness of the bonds.
The amount issued upon the work is but
$4,000 to the mile, while many reads issue
feom 500 900 to $4,000. First Mortgage Bonds
to SO small an amount, upon road practically
done, must be considered perfectly safe. Gov
ernment bonds now pay an average of but lit
tie more than 5per cent inter EST upon the in
vestment, while the Central Iowas are sure to
pay per cent. gold for thirty years. The
proht OF exchanging Governments for these
| bonds Is mus as certain as the security More
than two-thilds OF the entire issue have been
disposed OF, and the sales of the balance are re-
ported active. The figures given in the Treas.
urer's advertisement exhibit, in a striking
manner, the positive advantage which will ac-
| crue TO those who exchange Governments for
| for these Bonds. Full Information concern
| ing the road can be had on application to the

evening, by spontaneous gathering at the
Rectory OF Congress street. completely hlling
the house with one of the gayest and most de-

city during the holidays. The period fixed by
custom for the celebration of the crystal we'd
ding had already passed, but the people resolv

their hosts, and long table was made brilliant
by the generous gifts Of the
of use and ornament. In the mammoth bri-
dal loaf, prepared by the ladies of the parish
and elabora!e'y "frescoed" by Lucy, reared its
line proportions, to be partaken of at later
hour by the gaests. Music, mirth and genial
enjoyment ruled the few hours, and the ex-
pressed hope of Bishop Nicely, who was among
the guests that the pastor and his wife might
be spared to celebrate many more such auni-
versaries among the people with whom he had
labored so devotedly, were warmly responded

Boston, Jan. 2.-The Inauguration of May
or Castor aud the new city government took
place to-day With the customary formalities.
The total debt of Boston, as appears by May
or Gaston's address, amounts to $26.629 OIL 30,
of which amount $23, 3,9OS, $50, 81 is funded, AMI
$2,721, $50 ,61 unfunded. Increase OF gross debt
during the past year, $2,845. .973. Sinking fund
and other means of redemption amount to So
780 900, leaving the nett city Indebtedness $16.-
$50 ,459. The gross debt will require tax this
year of over 81, 100000 to pay interest and pre-
MUM on gold in which portion of it is paya-
bic. The public school expenses this year
amount TO 1896, 800. The new mayor urges up
on the city council economy, and says: "Waste

reckless expenditure OF every kind, whether
for private gain or personal qualification, or re-
sultiug from lazy Indifference. should receive

THE DEMOCRATIC "UNPLEAsANTNEss."
CONCORD, Jan. 2.-The recent effort of the
Democratic Central Committee to heal the
"little unpleasantness" existing between the
organs of the party in this city by the purchase
of the Patriot and 'People" and uniting and
placing them in clean hands is not likely to
succeed, although in charge Of some Of the old
est political managers of the party. The pro-
prietors of the Patriot say it would be great
sacrifice to them to thus dispose of their proper
ty, but if the good of the party demands it
they are willing, provided the proposition Of
the committee is carried out in good faith The
proprietors OF the People are understood to be
averse to the proposition, desiring to maintain
what influence they have in the State legisla-
ton, but are willing to purchase the Patriot
thus taking the political horse into their own
training. This leaves the newspaper breach as
wide as ever. The nominotion for Governor
probably lies between Hon. Albert r. Hatch oil
Portsmouth and Mayor Weston OF Manches-
ter.

To the Editor Of the Press:
"The greatest study of mankind is man."
The world is full of people who are victims Of
i'll health because they are not acquainted with
the needs and requirements of their physical
systems. The vast myriads of denzens on this
mundane sphere swallow far too much medi-
cine. People are apt to think that medicine
will cure anything and all things, while they
at the same time, neglect the simplest rules
and regulations of health, eat everything and
anything, drink fire. water, and no water, turn
nights into days of dissipation and run riot
generallywith their bodies, if not with their
souls.
We would discourage a morbid sensitiveness
as to oneself and constant imagining of ills
and ails that do not exist, but we certainly
ought to know enough Of ourselves to take
proper care of our health. Health brings COM
fort,i ennobles the soul,it clears and strength
ems the mind and makes ones days long and
happy. Physiology sh ould be studied in the
public schools everywhere.
We are therefore glad to notice that Prof
W. w. Hebbard, M. D., of Boston is to give a
course of lectures upon Physiology, Health
and Hygiene this week at Congress Hail. We
are not a follower of the many quacks who
travel medically" but we do remember with
great pleasure attending some medical lee
lures by DIR. sHebbard in another city some
years since and they were the best ever given
then and we are sure they, like good wine,
need no bush" now, as they .have been grow
ing better by age and experience
