THE FOUNDATIONS of immense fortunes,
which are being laid by enterprising rail
road consoidationists in this country, will
very possibly one day lead to an entire
change Of our form of government. Our
princes and dukes will not be men who
have conquered territory by glorious deeds
OF arms, but rather who have acquired II
by successful stock operations. In sober,
serious earnest we say that nowadays there
Is nothing like owning a railroad.-Batti.

The Means Of Escape.

The fan has many perils for the weak and fee
BILE, and its sudden atmospheric changes are try
ing 70 the constitutions Of even the robust. The
chilling temperature Of the nights, as compared
with the almost summer warmth Of the days,
necessarily exercises an unhealthy influence on
all who are exposed to it. Hence dysentery, di-
arrhea, intermittent fevers, bilious attacks, and
arrangements Of all the seeretiOns, are common
at this season. The true way to escape them is
to meet the causes with protective and invigor-
ating medicine. HOstetter's Stomach Bitters are
designed for this exigency. This powerful veg
etable specific relieves the system of all aerid hui
mOrs, purifes the fluids, tones the secretive or
gans, promotes healthy Corporations through the
pores, increases the activity of the digestive
functions, cheers the spirits, and regulates the
bowels. To do this is to make the whole body
vigorous and render it proof against the vicissi-
tudes of temperature, and against malaria. A
course of the great tonic and Alternative is there
fore in all cases advisable preventive at this
season. If, on the other hand, the mischief is al
ready done, and intermittent or remttent fever
is actually present, the liver, bowels, or stOm-
ach disotdered there is no medicine 50 certain 10
effect quick and thorough cure as this harmless
and agreeable preparation.

1-'Aa eA-~ '-Athcf Elil I'LL Gazette.
From Mr.. E. G. Rigsbee we have the mar
ticulars Of remarkable discovery which
win perhaps open field of investigation to
the Swans of the brush in the vicinity. Tho
statement is to the effect that Mrs. Sciberd
Of Gillespie, in making fire one day re-
Gently, found il necessary 10 break up a
lump of coal, and found imbedded therein
an iron hammer, similar to the large seized
riveting hammer now in use. The implement
was without a handle, and was considerably
battered upon the face, betokening severe
service. The coal from which the hammer
was taken is from the Bethalto mine, and
came from depth Of some fifty feet. The
hammer is now on exhibition at Meineke's
boarding house at Gillespie.
We might speculate upon the source
whence came this relic of past age, but
speculation win arise in every mind Of IL
self We had much rather have been the
owner Of that lump of coal, and then would
not dare to produce the hammer unless in
the presence Of few thousand witnesses.

GOSSIP ABOUT NILSSON.

The world has been instructed in regard
to the manner in which Miss Nilsson per-
forms nearly every public and private duty,
but until Thursday New York had yet to
learn how that young lady ate. An evening
paper, which obviously makes a close study
of the public taste, gave the yearned-for
information by republshing a portion of the
New York correspondence of the St.
Louis Republican. In this we are told
that Miss Nilsson ''does not eat like a fine
American lady, with her fingers on the
very tap of the fork, "but ''handles knife and
fork with freedom and vigor, and violates
all the DEGREES of fashion in holding the fork
at the lower end" This information re-
veals the writer's intimate familiarity with
the habits of good society, and settles at
once all vulgar cayilings as to his fitness to
handle his theme. AFFECT creature that
We are, however, we confess to some curl
osity as to how, under the above specified
conditions, the food upon a fine Amer
lean lady's plate is conveyed to the fine
American lady's mouth. With shame and
confusion We also acknowledge our former
ignorance of the fact that all the DEGREES of
fashion were limited to prescribing the man
ner in which the fork should be held. But
we will not keep the impatient reader from
fuller view of the charming songstress' gus
tatOry habits. Miss Nilsson, continues the
correspondent, in beautiful and bird-like
figure of speech, ''doeS not hOUey over her
food On the contrary, "she eats il as if
she was (Sic) no lady of fashion at all, but
only very hungry woman" in short,
"with such alacrity, vigor and relish,
that it makes your mouth water" This is
very dreadful, indeed, and the cOrreSpon-
dent to whom the appalling facts became
known should have had the self-command
to keep them to himself. After reading
them, the reader is not surprised to learn
that Miss Nilsson sis very fond of cham
payne, drinks it at all her meals, and is, in
deed, the gayest and happiest creature alive.
We should think so, indeed. Excessive
champagne drinking is well known to
be be the clement of lasting joy. off
a man is cOnSumptive or has the
Spleen" continues this COwperian letter
writer, ''let him be day in Miss Missions
company, and he will be well again. The
remedy is cheap and pleasant, provided the
man with the consumption or the spleen is
held entirely irresponsible for the wine bill
Miss Nilsson may run up during the process.
Want of space alone prevents our quoting
more from this delicate and heightened cor
reSpondence, and we can only hope that the
writer~of it will be an eye witness to many
more of those ''little dinner parties" to
which he refers, and at which he was evil

In looking over the ruins of Chicago,
near the Union Depot, the singular sight
presents itselfof two-story frame building
unframed, not even giving forth the semb-
lance of being scorched. Twenty feet on
the north of it, a large brick block burned to
the ground, and ON all other sides the flames
swept every thing before them. 1t seems
from the position of the building that escape
was impossible, and yet stands that two
story house, the only inhabited tenement
within half a half.

r. 573 it is said. "a privileged communi-
cation means nothing more than that the
occasion of making it rebuts the pTimd tdcie
inference of malice arising from the publ
cation of matter prejudicial to the character
of the plaintiff and throws upon him the Onus
of proving malice in fact; but not of PROV
ing it by intrinsic evidence only; he has
still right to require that the alleged
libel itself shall be submitted to the jury,
that they may judge whether there is
evidence of malice in the face of it.

in a course of judicial proceedings, it has

is admitted rests that such report must be
strictly confined to the actual proceedings in
Court, and must contain no defamatory OBJ
servations or comments from any quarter
whatever in addition to what forms strictly
and properly the legal proceedings" These
doctrines of the English courts have long
been recognized and followed in this coun-
try, and we consider it to be the settled law
here, as stated by the Supreme Court Of the
United States, in the case Of White VS..
Nichols, 3 How. 265, that malice may be
proved, though alleged TO exist in the pro-
ceedings before court or legislative body
or other tribunal may have been the appro-
pirate authority for redressing the grievance
represented to it, and that proof of express
