OFFENSIVE PERsPIRATION. In ordinary

GENERAL WoLFE-The celebrated General
Wolfe invited Scotch officer to dine with him;
the same day he was also invited by some
brother officers.
"You must excuse me, said he to them !;
II am already engaged to Wolfe"
A smart young ensign observed that he
might as well have expressed himself with
more respect, and said General Wolfe. "
"Sir" said the Scotch officer with great
promptitude, 1--WE never say Gen Alexander
or General Caesar.
Wolf, who was within hearing, by low bow
to the Scotch officer, acknowledged the pleas
ure he felt at the high compliment.

LECTURE ON TEMPERANCE.

What is the cause of Intemperance He hai

about, but had never known the cause stated.

whole range of sciences nothing was found so
fearfully wonderful and sad. Ignorance had
something to do with this disease. Nen did not
look at it In the right way and when they went
to work at it they invariably made Il blunder,
When men saw the beautiful ice palaces float -ng

work In the proper way not standing and look

People folded their arms in pious ccmplacency,
and looked on intemperance with Indifference.
His conclusions were that incompetence was a
kind Of insanity that drunkards could not be re
formed and that the best plan for preventing in
temperance was to begin in the Sabbath school
with the children. Drunkards would all die off,
and the time would come when all the world
would be temperate.
The lecture was listened to with great atten-
ton, was delivered with much earnestness. and we

TIE GROWTH OF RAILWAY TRAFFIC.

The enormous Increase of railway freights is
one of the marvels ofrecent business development
IN the United States Notwithstanding the i'm
mense increase OF railroads in all the Northern
States, there is not now one of the leading lines
which is not fairly blocked with freight. It may
be, moreover, broadly stated that not one of the
great east and west roads possess today tracks and
machinery to do properly the business that crowds
upon it. The Pennsylvania Central, this Lake
Shore, the Erie and the Atlantic, and the Balti-
more and Ohio are all in the market as heavy
purchasers ofnew engines and cars, one of these
lines having in process of construction one hun
dred and twenty new engines, and another two
thousand hYe hundred cars of q single class. Car
and locomotive builders surfeted with orders
covering all the work that they can possibly turn
out for months to come. Not less notable is the
enlargement Of the capacity OF the roads them
selves Lines that for years have struggled along
with single track now yield to the pressure OF
growing trade, ard are laying with all possible de-
spa Oh second line of rails. The dOuble-tracz~
ing OF the Lake Shore road throughout the entire
length is an example OF this. The Pennsylvania
Central is rebuilding entr y its eastern division,
stralg htenlng the last thirty five miles so as to
save seven miles Of hat distance. Much of the
new road cOmprices three distinct tracks. 1t will

evidence that, Notwithstanding all the sorry

to create business aud develop a c uutry is Just
