CALLS FOR WONEN.-Never in the
annals of history, or at any period of
mans existence, has there been so great
call for wOman's influence rs at the
present time. Woman is now con-
stantly receiving calls to give her infiu-
ence to assist man to accomplish his de-
signs, either religious or refOrmatOry.
| There is call now from the temperance
reformers in Michigan for woman to
/ give her influence in enforcing the pro-
| hibitory law. Then there is another
call for women of the United States to
/ give their influence in "behalf of such
amendment to the Constitution as will
recognize God Almighty as the source
/ Of all authority in civil government"
! To the latter call l would say: NY
dear Christian brothers, your religion
has ever deprived woman of all rights
as a human being; and now that we are
making some headwayin educating and
elevating ourselves, here you are asking
US to sign our own death-warTant by as
sisting you to govern US and to trammel
free thought and action.
No, brothers! we have sad experience
under the bonds of the Christian
Church, and will now throw the chains
Of bigotTy from off our spirits, and will
now stand free and untrammeled. We
will think our own thoughts and find
our own employment.
We are now waiting to have another
call from our national House, to get the
tangles out of the criminal snarl there.
The House is getting so disorderly and
in such confusion that the men there
Will be calling on woman to give her
influence and ingenuity to clean, scour,
purge and purify, and to set the house
III order. Well, we are ready to clean
and purify, and minister to real wants;
but as for giving our labor and influence
to prevent freedom of thought and
speech, we never can.-lL-s. VI. T. Ian

mirth as foolish and sinful, is himself dis
eased, views things through false me
dunn, and needs the very spirit and essence
of hearty merry Christmas to restore
him to health and happiness.
The plainest duty of the Christmas time
is to remember the poor and administer to
their needs. The table furnished with
abundance will be better enjoyed if the
owner makes glad poor neighbor with
substantial gifts for the body. Happily
in our State the amount of restitution is
not large. In the great cities want de-
stroys its hundreds, sending them to the
grave from the effects of cold and hunger,
but in this locality, or in the broad, open
country anywhere, such cases are rarely
known. Still in every city and village
there are proper opportunities for the ex-
ercise of charity, Tor the practical applica-
ton of the teaching of Him who was al
ways friend to the poor, and whose word
is full of eXhortation to beware of exclu-
siveness and selishness. Let the needy
at our doors be searched out and helped.
Ii is better to give than to receive. Where
cases of want are known attend to them
personally.
And do not forget the children. Make
them happy with some token OF love,
something though it be small that shall
cause them to remember Christmas with
pleasure. This is peculiarly a festival for
the young, the world over. Let it be to
them one of peculiar gladness.
To all readers Of the Journal we send
the greeting of the season, hoping that
they may enjoy it in an abundance of good
things, with thankful and loving hearts,
and in the belief that the promises, the
blessings of which it foreshadows and
typifies, shall be completely fulfilled.

THE RAILROAD DISASTER.

From the accounts given OF the disaster
on the Eastern Railroad it seems that the
responsibility for it is upon those who had
immediate charge of the trains, or upon
the telegraph operator at Kennebunk-
probably the latter. Upon whatsoever Of
these parties it rests, there is no escaping
the conclusion that the catastrophe was
due to the most gross carelessness, the
greatest disregard for the safety OF prop
erty and human life. 1t is astounding
that men holding positions by which they
have the lives of others in charge, and
large amounts of property, will for any
purpose Or through any neglect leopard
the important interests with which they
are intrusted, but sad experience proves
that large share of our railroad horrors
have no other cause than the folly or stu
pidity or carelessness of those employed.
Whatever blame attaches to the compa-
ny for the late disaster is that which be,
longs to it in regard to the men employed.
If they were men whose character was
such as to recommend them for the places
they filed, the company it seems should
not be harshly judged; but if they were
unfit men then the company is as culpable
as its employees. In behalf of the East
ern Railroad, it is but fair to say that the
management has provided all the precau-
tons and safeguards ON its trains adopted
by the best roads in the country to prevent
accidents and insure the safety of passen-
gers and property. This fact will weigh
very much in its favor in public estimation,
as it properly should. The evidence in its
general management of prudent and
thoughtful regard for the security Of life
and property, is an argument for the road
that is as valuable to it as good charac-
ter is to an individual.

CHRISTMAS.

The rolling year has brought around
again the Christmas season, long antic-
ipated with pleasure in the most Of house
holds where the story of the babe in the
manger is read. Now the holly and the
more common evergreens deck church
and parlor, while JOY and gladness sit
around the hearth-stope, and the heart Of
humanity is touched with kindlier feelings
and prompted to acts of goodwill and
charity. From the child in the cradle to
him who occupies the "dozing chair Of old
age" the glad impulse runs, reaching all
classes and conditions.
1t is evident from the appearance of
places Of business and the lack of Christ
mas display in the newspapers, that this
season is not to be distinguished by
lavish expenditure for gifts. The financial
panic has operated to check profuseness
in giving. The curtailment of wages and
employment. or the difficulty OF obtaining
sums due, have limited the resources of
the industrial classes, while those of am
pier means are frightened by the tumbling
of stocks and the failures of supposed NIL
lionares into close keeping of their cur
rency until they know whether dividend
day will have any thing for them. The
merchant felt as Christmas approached
that the omens were not promising for a
holiday trade. and so his windows and
shelves are not so richly and temptngly
filled as customary. Still we have no doubt
that those who are prepared with goods
suitable for the occasion will drive pretty
brisk business. There will be trade at
Christmas let the times be ever so hard.
Presents will be given in token of friend
ship, articles of luxury or ornament for
the family will be supplied under the in
spiration of lberality, Christmas trees and
stockings will be loaded, tribute must be
paid to brides and bridal parties, churches
and pastors must be remembered, and so
in various ways the stream of holiday
traffic will flow on, though the volume be
somewhat less than at other seasons. A
"merry Christmas in the midst OF the bus
mess depression may exert Il healthy in
fuence. 1t may drive away gloom, lift
the spirits to better resolutions and Drawer
purposes, SO that care will be banshed
and difficulties be overcome that look
mountain high. Many Of our troubles,
the most of them, spring from ourselves.
Seasons of merriment and festyity are an.
tidotes to the cares that eat into the soul
and destroy its happiness. We "laugh
aud grow fat;' dance and sing and forget
trouble; give and increase in riches.
Because panic has swept over the land,
AID men have fallen here and there who
were rich, let us not unwisely suppose
that the country is stricken with poverty,
but consider rather that in all the elements
of material prosperity it never was richer
than at the present time. The true heart
knows that after the storm comes the sun
shine. He who sees gloom everywhere
and continually, and frowns upon innocent

An Invention Wanted.

A correspondent of the Scientific
american says: 'PIowshares, as
now used, are enough to make any
farmer complain, especially if they
are steel ones, which are generally
ruined after being sharpened once.
The cast steel ones will not scour in
black lands. Why could not the
share be made smaller. so that it
would not be necessary to weld q
plate of iron on it? The share and
point might be made OF two pieces,
and the point used in some way to
fasten the share. Plugs or wedges
could be used instead of bolts, which
are so placed that are they hard to
unscrew. Would not such a con-
trivance be as successful as the NOV
able saw teeth? | think so. If such q
thing could be made, it would be one
of the most paying inventions"

fore he had another action, and re.
turned to bis books. In a little
while he had another call to evacuate
his bowels, and with it he felt some
nausea. He concluded then to re-
turn home, especially as cholera was
! prevailing. He accordingly walked
home through the sun one mile and
a quarter. By the time he reached
his destination he was exhausted
and commenced vomiting and purg-
ing. He sent for me, but before the
remedies could be procured and APP
piled he had collapsed, and died in
five or six hours. mention this
case to show that fatigue is as fatal
as bad diet, and to enforce in the
most emphatic manner the maxim,
''obsta princeplis"-''stop the very
beginnings of things"
In 1849, friend of mine, large
cotton planter in Arkansas, told me
that cholera had broken out among
his negroes that they would leave
home for the field in the morning,
would be taken with loose bowels,
and by the time they would reach
their cabins they would collapse and
die. He asked my advice. I said
to him: Send cart with your
hands, appoint a sentinel, and when
ever hand dropped his hoe and
went over the fence to notice what
kind of deposit he made, if loose put
him in the cart, send him home and
give him dose of calomel. kmore-
over advised him to set watch, at
night, and whenever a cabin door
opened go with torch and see what
was done, if the discharge was loose,
give a dose of calomel." He at once
put this advice to practice, as he in
formed me afterwards, with many
thanks that he lost no negro after
that.
These facts, together with the
general line of treatment, which l
have indicated, varied to suit indi-
vidual cases, constitute inestimable
truths, they are gospel.
In conclusion let me say guard the
people against nostrums, and cholera
syrups of all kinds, especially dew
ilish peppers which injure the tone
and ultimately upset the stomach
A little spirits of camphor and laud-
anum together with box of mus
tard and three or four ten grain
doses of calomel and a bottle of
good Robertson county whisky are
all that is necessary. With these,
and laying fat on the hack, any one
may bid defiance to cholera.

months, or years, at furthest, sus-
pend. We hope those who have had
little or no experience in managing
papers, and who are contemplating
the starting of them, will bear these
suspensions in mind, and learn q
lesson from the result. OF all bust
ness in the world, ours is the most
difficult to conduct, and whilst it
does not always require great abili-
ties, it does require peculiar talents
to maintain a journal and make it not
only an instructor of the people, but
a financial success. This fact needs
no demonstration. The adage that
''the watched pot never boils,' is not
true as to journalism for if a print
ing office is not watched unremitting-
ly, whether the exerci>e be painful
or otherwise. success will remain in

The decision of the supreme
court of New York, in the case of
Mrs. Putnam, widow of the man
who was killed on the street cars in
that city, goes to the extent that
railroad companies as common car
riers are bound mot only to guard
each passenger from violence and
assault Of its own agents and en-
ployees, but from the assaults and
violence of other passengers carried
in the same conveyance, and from
other causes of discomfort or injury
which could have been reasonably
anticipated or prevented" The
court awarded Mrs. Putnam $4,000
damages, which viii, no doubt, prove
a wholesome lesson to the managers
