lowing brief extracts from very SEN
sible article on the subject of politics
and politicians in the Jefferson Times:
1t is not uncommon for men OF
inferior minds to boast that they
neither know nor care anything about
politics. They seem to asegibe to
themselves a peculiar merit, in pro-
Tossing 30 take no interest in public
affairs; that an ignorance of Federal
aud State Constitutions, and all
knowledge of the political history of
the country is most praiseworthy.
This is extraordinary under a free
government, where all questions have
to be decided by the people. Isit just
or wise2
In brief, a free government is based
on the intelligence of the people, and
that intelligence should be exercised
by any member of the commonwealth.
A free government is one Of great
responsibility. Every member of so
cicty is responsible for its purity and
preservation. No man has a right to
pride himself upon an ignorance of
public affairs, or to assume an indifler.

IEXAs PAcIFIc.-Col. Tom Scott
having been chosen President of the
Texas Pacific Railroad, the company
passes into the hands of an association
of capitalists, which, it is said, will
push the road TO immediate completion.
This road extends from Marshall. Tex.

miles. 1t is entitled to grant of
13 440, 200 acres of public land from
the general government besides very
liberal grants from the State of Texas.
1t is understood that the narrow guage
will be adopted by this route, though
this will practically isolate it from ali
other lines. This is now the most
powerful railroad combination in the
world, and it will be fortunate indeed
if any inducements can be offered
whereby Vicksburg can be put on the
through line. Memphis is awake to
the Importance of the matter, and the
present indications are that the through
line will be by that route. However,
the great benefits to be derived from
lis coming here will be worth the most
strenuous efforts, and we trust our
people will spare none in securing it,

CURE FOR CEREBno SPINAL MEN

gentleman in Michigan to a friend in
Freeport:
only write to tell you what will
save every case of "cerebro-spinal men
ingi;is." 1t is the same epidemic that
ragged in this state in the winters of
1917 and '4S, which broke up our leg,
islature, and which carried TO the
grave every one it touched, until the
old,fashioned hemlock sYeats were
adopted, after which every case was
saved.
Our people sent about twenty-five
miles and procured hemlock boughs,
and they sent for it from all parts OF
the state. There was a company here
that was called the Hook and Ladder
company, that for weeks did nothing
night and day but 90 from house t.
house giving hemlock sweats, and il
saved every case. Thorough sweating
might do, but there is no mistake about
hemlock sweats being a specific.

LASTING LONELINESS. Twenty

Balm was brought out as pure botan-
zeal cosmetic, guaranteed to restore

producing an artificial, metallic surface,
like the deadl y enamels, or willing the

under various names as "beautiiiers,
it keeps the skin as soft as velvet, renr

and imparts to it to delicate, rosy tinge,
which is the beau ideal OF complcxional
lovliness. This exquisite chromatic
effect is not transient. BY applying
the Balm daily it may by prolonged

week, as he was taking an insane man,
named Sheridan, to the Poughkeepsie
asylum. During the journey down,
Sheridan obtained possession of the
handouts and papers with which Hox-
sic had provided himself, and when
they reached Poughkeepsie, Sheridan,
who was lawyer, insisted ON going to
New York.
Hoxsie expostulated, and finally in
duced Sheridan to alight. On reaching
the platform, remarking that their
ways should now separate, the real
insane man started off. Mr.. Uoxsic
seized him, and struggle ensued be-
tween the two, which speedily attracted
a crowd. Sheridan called on the by,

Are we on the eve Of another great revO-
tuition! Not civil war, but such TtvOlu-
ton as resulted from the invention of the
5OcOmotive and electric telegraph. Only
thirty years ago Professor Morse was strug-
CLING to get aid of Congress to make a trial
of his wonderful invention. And now an
other inventor has gained permission of the
government to make another experiment
which may yet become as interesting an
event in history as the trial of the famous
electric wire between Baltimore and Wash
ingtOn. The coming man is Albert Bris-
hane, for a time a resident Of IrvingtOn,
and his invention is a kind Of pneumatic
tube, by means Of which time and space
are to be annihilated. His unremitting
efforts last winter succeeded in getting from
Congress an appropriation Of $4,000 for
the purpose of laying a tube between
the Capitol at Washington and the gov
eFnment printing otice-a distance of
half q mile, and if this experiment proves
satisfactory another appropriation will be
granted for the construction of a tube be-
tween Washington and Baltimore, the
ground of the first telegTaphic triumph.
The method of transit will be by hollow
spheres propelled through the tube by COM
pressed air, and some idea of the velocity
with which they can be driven may be got
from hr. Brlsbane's prophecy that the New
York papers Will be sent to Chicago and Sc,
Louis in time for their eight o'clock break
fast tables. The general establishment of
this mode Of transportation would be sad
blow to the railroad system of the country.
An immediate loss Of all freight traffic
would ensue to the railroads, and they. with
steamboats, that ply our rivers, would be
consigned to the insignifcance of mere
pleasure excursion party cOnveyances.
Although Mr.. Brisbane's invention has
been achieved upon the basis of an old
theory, he will deserve none the less credit
IN case of success, for the man who most
deserves the worlds gratitude is he by
whose effort the world derives practical
benefit. The inventors confidence in the
result, and the generally acknowledged
feasibility of practical application of the
pneumatic theory seem to promise success,
and it is to be hoped that the coming exper-
Eaeut may be a satisfactory One.-Ne1cark
