An indianapolis journal while noticing Miss
Nilsson in that vigorous, if not decorous, man
ners characteristic of certain Western news
papers, speaks of her as "a young woman who
sings almost as well as Miss Kellogg, and kicks
piano stool clear across the stage apparently
with little effort" The allusion to the caleit-
rant accomplishments of the fair singer seems
to indicate that her performances Of that kind
upon the stage of the Philadelphia Academy
were not singular Her energetic treatment,
not only of the piano stool, but of the music eff
certain unfortunate fiddlers who happened to
be near her, was regarded at the time as the
ungraceful consequence of a momentary ebulli.

part OF the regular performance for which in
fatuated persons were induced to nav IA.

The opinion expressed In the PRESS ofSat-
urday that the Augusta dispatch in the Arqus
OF the previous day was an impudent fraud, a
trick by which the agents of the Maine Cen
trail attempted to head off the general railroad
law, receives prompt confirmation in the fol-
lowing paragraph from the Stars Augusta
letter: ib hl- ''l

There seems to be no limit to the resources
of the corporation whichis making good head
way toward the complete overthrow of the in
dependence of the State. This pitiful false
hood of one of its attorneys, however, is the
loaoest thing it has yet done. We shall soon
see whether it has yet struck bottom.

The Confessions Of Judge Rice.

Consequently they 1.-THE railroads) came
before the Legislature and, as is well known
asked for authority to consolidate, but were
refused. He explained to the committee that
the much-talked of act of 1855 authorized
them to unite but not to consolidate. The
advantage to be derived from consolidation
was simply matter of convenience. 1t
would obviate the necessity of several boards
of directors and facilitate business. The
committee knew and members of the Legis-
lature of 1870 should have known that the
power of indirect consolidation was in the
hands ofeither party. The Practical consol-
idation was thus effected under full and suffi-
Gent authority and will stand despite the in
situations of sundry parties in the State.
Judge Rice was listened to with marked at
tention by a crowded Senate Chamber and
his remarks were received with manifest
marks of approval. 1t is pronounced by all
to be an able and sound answer to the charges
made by divers publications in the State. It
was remarked by more than one, "Well, CON
soildatlon dosn't appear so criminal after ALL
This is from the Advertisers Augusta cor
respondent, and can't be regarded as an I'M
friendly report of Judge Rice's remarks. He
made, it appears, a full confession of those
misdeeds which the PRESS has been so round
ly abused for charging upon the road. He
Acknowledges that leave to consolidate was
refused by the Legislature of 1870, and that
the roads afterwards consolidated. The
members of thelLegislature of 1870 "should
haze knoacn that the power of indirect consol-
dation was in the hands of either party, is
the astonishingly frank language of Judge
Rice. After thus glorying in the assumption.
by the Maine Central of legislative powers, it
is not surprising to find him intimating that
it will also assume judicial powers. The
matter Is now before the courts but the Judge
says dogmatically, sit will stand despite the
of sundry parties in the State
After this we are asked to believe that there
we're people present at the hearing who ex-
claimed ''Well, consolidation doesn't appear
o criminal after allr' ..ff -

There are nearly rs many bad wives
as husbands. Many men who work
hard and try to do well in life are ne
elected and abused 10y imployident wo-
men.
They are condemned t. eat the poor
est dinners when they provide the b.s,
the market affords
On heavy bread, soggy vegetables,
muddy coffee and tough pie crust, how
can woman expect her husband TO be
pleasant and loving.
Such men often drink whisky because
their food distresses them, as would any
one who had cast-iron stomach-and
the habits Of temperance are sometimes
in this way begun, through the fault of
a wife.
1t costs more to cook poorly than to
make food good and palatablc.
If woman runs home from neigh
bors just in time to throw a pie togeth-
er, bake it, and bring it to the dinner
table hot she commits great otiense
against the health of her family.
Ii a man has only an hour TO go home
to get his dinner and return to business
it should be ready promptly on time, or
else he will eat very hot food in the
greatest haste, and start off for a rapid
walk, all Of which is very bad, and will
soon show its effects upon the strongest
man.
When her husband gets peevish, low
spirited and forgetful of the little acts
of love and kindness he taught her to
expect in days gone by, woman who is
such housckecper need not sit in the
twilight and wonder ut such changes.
Dyspepsia is not conducive TO ten
der thoughts or happiness.
Had she acted her part with half the
zeal and industry of her husband, all
would have been well, aad she could
still sit in the sunshine of earlier days.
1t is very hard for man to caress
the hand which for years has been feed
ing him with slow poison

A WOMAN COLONEL.

On Thursday night, III New York,
Miss Tennie G. Clafin was elected colo
mel of the S5th colored regiment of that
city by a vote of 1913 to so. This regi-
ment, composed of the wide awake
young colored men of New York city,
numbers 600 men, 250 OF whom have
uniforms. Since the fact has became
known that Miss Clafin has signified
her intention to lead it on 10 victory if
she was acceptable to them, great addl-
tions have been received TO its ranks
The great desire among the members
is to have the regiment uniformed, and
one of the captains at the meeting which
elected Miss Clafin said that he was
willing to be led by man or woman il
either would uniform the regiment.
Miss Clatiiu occupied conspicuous
place on the platform while her claims
We're presented. One opponent only
spoke against her, and he, the senior
captain, was hooted out of the armory.
Miss Clatlin made the closing speech,
after which she was elected amidst con-
siderable confusion, the lights being
put out at the end, making everybody OF
one color truly. Miss Clatlin, in the
course of her remarks said when she
wrote to the 9th regiment, late Fisk :,
white, offering herself as candidate
for the colonelcy of that body, she did
not expect to be elected. She put her
self forward because she could GO TO
the front with the regiment, and lead
them on to victory on the field of battle.
She was well verscd in military tactics,
she said, and she would rather accept
the colonclcy of 4 colorcd regiment
than that OF one composed of white men.
T Applause She had faith in the fight
ING ability of the colored race, but very
little in that of one composed of the
white soldiers. She could pick out
more white men than blacks who would
run from the field of battle. Long
and continued applause. She was,
she said, warml y refused the entrance Of
the hotels of this city because she ad-
yocated certain principles for the good
of women.

BARyUM's MESAGARIE WREcEED.-
The following account We clip from the
Erie Observer of the 10th inst: Very
early on Saturday morning. the train
with Barnums show was leaving the
city for Cory, drawn by two locomo-
tiyes. 1t was made up on the Twelfth
street track, which joins the Lake Shore
road beyond the western freight depot,
whence it was to be shifted to the PhIla.
q Erie road. The switch at the juno
ton of the Lake Shore road was mis-
placed, and the locomotives, while run
ming at moderate speed, were thrown
from the track and one went over on It's
side. The sudden check crushed some
Of the caIs, and q number ot the cages
were pitched off and broken. Among
the cages that suffered were those con
tanning the monkeys, the "happy iaml-
"" and the sea lions. None Of the large
animals were injured or set loose, cir
cumstauce that afforded good deal OF
satisfaction to both citizens and show
men, rs it would not have been pleasant
for the savage beasts to have gained an
opportunity to wander at random through
the city. The monkeys took advantage
Of the smash to scamper III all dlrec-
tions, but they were captured when
daylight returned. Their cage was a
complete wreck. That containing the
sea lions was also badly damaged, and
the queer creatures had to be left here
several days, while their place of CON
fnemcnt was repaired The night was
pitch dark, and the scene that occur
red, the howls, the fright, the curses
and the confusion defy description.
Soon after daylight, the big train was
got off for Cory, where it arrived safe
Iy, though too late tor morning cxhibi,
ton. The accident will probably lead
to nice little dispute for damages.
Barnum had contract with the i. IL
+. road for carrying the show over
their track, but as the smash-up occur
red on another road, which his agent
had made verbal arrangement in re-
gard to, the company claim that they
are not responsible for the mishap.

"DEAD HEADS There are more
classes OF dead heads" than those who
receive flee tickets to concerts and cir
cuscs, aud travel on free passes overall
roads, as we think We can prove in a
few lines. Newspapers, no matter how
indifferently conducted, are help TO
any town. aud business amounts to but
little in places that don't support one or
more Of them. Absence of newspapers
is as bad a sign for a place, in bust
ness point Of view, as absence of church
es is in morals, or school houses in edI-
cation. In every town there are live
90 ahead business men, who advertise
literally These men support tho pa
per, and thereby do more to build up
the place and make it prosperous, and
draw trade there, than all other infuen-
ces combined. Therefore the merchant
or the business man, who comes into
the place and takes the benefit Of that
prosperity, without contributing in the
least to sustain it, is nothing more
nor less than dead head on the rest
Of the business men. However this NAV
be taken, whether az a word for our
selves OF our business patrons, 1t Is
nevertheless undeniably true.

pointed adventures who have from time

is simple enough. The reputation Of

upon a rock, the Rock or EXrERlENcE.

some How, then, could tricksters and
cheats expect to rival it with com
pounds of cheap drugs and refuse Ii

of acetous fermentation? OF course
the charlatans have come to grief Their
little game has failed. Their contempt
for the sacaeity of the community has
been ftly punished. Meanwhile Plan

way of eventually superseding every

4 TIGER Loose N THE SrRnET-
Says the Chicago Inter Ocean of the
2Ist: As the wagons of the Great
Eastern Menaga-ie were moving in pro-
cession yesterday no little excitement
and alarm was caused by the loosing ofa
large Royal Bengal tiger Herr Lengel,
the tanner, was riding with three Of the
beasts upon the top Of one Of the cages.
a defective spot inrthe road was reach
cd, and the jolt Of the wagon frightened
the tiger so that be jumped to the
ground, breaking the heavy chain that
bound him. Quick as fash Herr Len
gel also landed on terra frrn1, and,
amid the most intense excitement on
the part of the spectators, started in
pursuit. After chase of some rods
the frightened animal was captured,
placed in one of the baggage wagons
and carried back to the canvass. The
good judgment Of Lengel alone preyen-
ted what might have been a bloody
piece of business.
