We were surprised TO see in dispatch TO the
Boston Advertiser of yesterday, reference to the
bill introduced in the house OF representatives
by Mr.. Negley, of Pennsylvania, as 'qibera
measure" and one which would be "to the pub
lie good generally" We should speak of it in
quite different language. although, SO far as the
railroads are concerned it is liberal enough, if,
by liberality is meant the plumber of the treas.
ury for gratuities to corporations. The bill pro-
poses to pay to certain railroad companies,
which carried soldiers for the government
during the war, the difference between the price
already paid, two cents per mile, and their full
tariff rates. Only two New England railroads,
it is said, the Northern of New Hampshire and
the Old Colony and Newport, are interested in
this job. The amount which it would take from
the treasury is estimated at one hundred mil

dies ever introduced into congress- The
railroads which ask for this enormous sum have
already been well paid. The rates at which SOL
diers carried were, it is true, less than the
regular passenger tariffs, but the conditions were
always very different The government fur
nished an immense amount of business and
filed its trains, so that there was no expense
wasted in carrying unnecessary dead weight
1t is doubtful whether any of the roads, which
now ask additional compensation, would have
been willing to relnquish the government bust
ness at government rates TO a competing road;
and we know that they generally find it their in
terest to make reductions as great as were made
10 the government, for the sake of securing the
increased business which special occasions offer

that the railroads did not always furnish

A Sound Mind.

Health of mind very closely dependent upon health

physical of the brain in large determines
what the is both morally and intellectually. The

proportonate to the health and condition of the
system generally. The brain demands more abundant
nutrition than any other part of the body This is owing
to the peculiarly rapid molecular changes which its sub

action. The brain is also remarkably susceptible to the
presence of Impurities in blood. From all this

A REVISION OF THE BIBLE.-There is at
present sitting in the Jerusalem chamber of the
old Abbey at Westminster a committee ap-
pointed by the archbishops and bishops to re-
wise the Bible. Of their labors the London Tele-
graph writes as follows: "The two bodies of
English Bible revsers who, with grave and rev.
erent care, are now slowly working their way
through the obstacles that beset their learned
task, may take comfort from the mode in which

A BURGLARS INGENUITY.-There was bur
glary in an Albany jewelry store on Thursday
night and one of several skilllul devices 10
which the burglars resorted to prevent detec-
ton while operating upon the safe was the fol-
lowing: On a work bench on the south side of
the shop, small looking glass is placed, in
front OF which is gas burner. This small glass
reflects the back of the safe on the large glass.
and those who PASS the store have q full view Of
IT, The burglars, to conceal their operations,
had prepared a curtain made ofdart green mus,
lin, across which black muslin stripes were
sewed, to represent the bars on the back of the
safe. This muslin was tackled on small wooden
strips after the burglars entered the premises,
and was hung over the large mirror. 1t was well
calculated to deceive the patrolling watchman.
and, but for his suspicious being aroused early
IN the evening by observing two or three strange
characters in the vicinity, they might have
operated successfully. On passing the store he
noticed that the reflection of the back of the
sale IN the glass was darker than usual, and he
shook the door three or four times. Receiving
no response from the inside Waterman, his sus
pcion that something was wrong was strength
ened, and breaking open the doors, found that
his interference had been too long DELAYED, for
