Railroad Discrimination.

The Chattanooga Times March 9, says:
The Nashville Board of Trade has been
discussing the freight question, and has ar
rived at the conclusion that Nashville is do
ing as well as could be expected, and that
there is a general decentralization in the
freight business. We guess this is about so.
We understand that the Green Line author
tiles are going to get after the w. & A. r. R.
for using Green Line cars TO carry local
freights, and also that Gen. McRea has been
appointed Superintendent of the w. & A.
r. r., and insists upon a new track, and
more rolling rock. The fact is that the
rolling stock of all the roads is not suffi-
Gent for their increasing business, and they
must supply the deficiency at once.

The PhiIadeIphia Medical Times.

We acknowledge the receipt of this valu-
able medical weekly at this Office for some
time past, and admit, through inadvertence,
the acknowledgment has been too long de-
layed. The number for March is on our
table, and contains its customary valuable
contents of original and translated matter,
together with correspondence and Society
transactions, reviews, etc. Its briet edito-
rials are in the interest of medicine as a
science, and oppugnant to ''isms," whatey-
er their disguise.
The last item sent TO press in this num-
Der is a notice of the death of DR.. Hugh L..
Hodge, Emeritus Professor of Obstetrics in
the University of pennsylvania, on Feb. 20.
The occurrence was sudden. DR.. Hodge
had attained the ripeness of old age, and
bis works pertaining to the special branch
of medicine to which he was devoted, are
standard authorities.

Death Of the Noted Racer Bayleaf.

The LIE xiDgton, KY, Gazette Of the 5thinst.
says this renowned race-mare and mother
of racers died at Woodburn on Friday last,
much to the regret of all lovers of the
thoroughbreds. Baylesf was the dam of
Bayonet, Preakness and several other cele-
brated racers. She was considered the
finest brood mare at WOODBURY., and will
be great loss to her owner. Two years
ago Mr.. Sanford offered Mr.. Alexander
$4,000 for her, which was refused. She
was twenty years of age st the time of her
death. A yearling colt out Of Bayleaf will
be sold at Wood 9urn at the annual sale in
June. She was by imported Yorkshire,
dam Black Maria, and her pedigree ran
back to the best strains of English thorough
breds.

state of facts, was submitted to a jury on
Monday last, who returned verdict in the
sum of $500.

A DRUNKEN ENGINEER.
A Brakeman Crushed Almost 10
Death.

The Pulaski Citizen and Press, March 6,
rays: Our friend, w. G.. McGrew, an en-
ployee of the Louisville and Nashville and
Great Southern railroad, met with an acct
dent the other day which came near prov
ing fatal. A coupling between the engine
and baggage car had broken, and the cars
came to stand upon the bridge near
Franklin. Mr.. McGrew took position
to make the coupling again, when the engi-
neer, being drunk, as alleged by Mr.. NJ,
came back with such force as to break the
pin-head and crush him between the cars.
Two ribs were broken, bis shoulder disloca.
ted and his head badly cut. The conductor
happened to be standing near and rescued
him in time just to save him from being run
over. This is the second time Mr.. McGrew
has been severely injured in the past few
weeks by accidents on this road--both the
result of drunkenness.

COLORADO Atmosphere.


Its Medicinal Lnauences-Remar
BILE Phenomena Resulting from Its
Dryness.
In letter from Denver, Colorado, cor
respondent to the st. Louis Globe telling Of
the remarkable atmosphere of that region,
says that rain seldom falls, while the tower
ing mountains to the west act as strong at
sorbent, and attract the moisture in the air.
Besides, Denver Is higher than the Alleghe-
nies, being 5.317 feet above the sea level.
These causes combine to render the air sx-
tremely rare, and the rays Of the stars be
ing less refracted, and passing through
thinner fluid, are so much the brighter.
This explains why persons not accustomed
to our atmosphere can hardly believe that
the nearest foothills are actually twelve
miles distant, and that Longs Peak, to
them apparently only five miles of, is over
seventy miles away. This also explains
why persons from the East, when hunting
game here, have made such mistakes, for
not seldom has it happened that spOrtsmen
have shot at antelopes mile distant. This
peculiar scarcity of moisture causes things
here to dry instead of rotting. l have fire.

over two menths, yet with no ofensive
o1or arising therefrom, and unless in unus-
ual weather, it rarely will be disagreeable to
pass the carcass. This dryness of the air
has caused Colorado to be sought by per-
sons of feeble health. The lack Of moist
ure, and the abundance of ozone in the
atmosphere, are said to be well adapted to
cure catarrhal complaints, and many pa
tents have been sent here by their physi-
clans. Persons suffering with consumption
have also been greatly improved by coming
here, and, generally, sufferers with an af-
Fiction of the lungs, receive, after arriving
a longer lease of life. A few days ago L
met man with the glow of health upon
his cheek, and an elastic spring in his walk,
who arrived here year ago, emaciated, in
'the last stages of consumption" He feels
ten years younger. Such cases are not
few. The warm glow Of the sun and the
deliciously cool-yet not cold-nighis, are
well adapted to make the life of an invalid
more pleasing than elss where; and one of
the best Of cures is pleasant life.

The Gilbert Troune.

The Gilbert Troupe have teen visiting
the principal cities and towns in the South
during the winter months, and have been
winning golden opinions wherever they
performed. The Selma Times, in noticing
an entertainment in that city, pays the fol-
lowing compliment to member OF the
company well known in this and adjoining
counties: "The thrilling interest Of the play,
and the admirable manner in which 1t was
rendered, gave universal satisfaction, and
nothing but words of praise could be heard
as the large audience dispersed. Katie
Gilbert is little gen. and lust as bril-
liant as she is natural and beautiful. In
personating the difficult character OF
Camille She evidenced the talent and
genius that will command success, and GER
tainly added to the number Of friends that
she has made in this city. It will suffice to
say, that she was called before the curtain
twice, during the evening"

PROGRESS I'm IRON SMELLING.


The proceedings atthe late meeting of the
American Pig Iron Manufacturers Assocl-
alton, present very gratifying facts regard
ing the iron industry. Since the trade felt
the impulse of high prices and increasing
consumption early last year, the progress
has been wonderful; the production of 1872
being 2,3SS,250 tons, or more than that OF
any previous year in our history. Impelled
by the success attained, and by the i'm
pending scarcity of iron, the progressive
movement continues, and it appears from
trustworthy data that at the close of this
wear there will be at least IT'S more blast
furnaces in operation than there were a
wear ago, while the demand for manufac-
tured iron gives assurance that the market
will not even then be overstocked. 1t is
pleasing tc find that this prosperity is widely
diffused, and that every section possessing
minerals is awakening to consciousness OF
its latent wealth.
The aggregate product of pig iron In the
three States, Georgia, Alabama, and Tenn
essee, will, it is calculated, increase from
26, 100 tons last year to 10000 tons in this.
Steps have been taken to build twelve
iron furnaces within an area Of as many
UQu6S STOuuu LuO NlOy VI AsOAAOJ Nf~1 1890
The statistics of our foreign iron trade
show that the country is at the same time
releasing itself quickly from dependence on
foreign supplies, and isprofting by the par
tial immunity our ironmasters enjoy from
European competition. Although the con-
sumption last year was greater than ever,
our iron imports were 4, PAS tons less than
in the year before. The increase in values
was, however, SIS, 100000 greater, showing
the extraordinary advance which has oc=
Cured in the price of all kinds OF iron,
abroad as well as at home.
The desire for improvement and orsanl-
cation keeps pace with the increase in pro
duction. The number of members In the
PIG Iron Manufacturers Association has
increased within a year from 30 to 200,
while general spirit of inquiry and enter
prise pervades the entire trade. Oa tne
whole, the condition of the iron industry IS
a source of pride to the nation, and is aound-
antly indicating the wisdom Of the pro-
lection it recelved.-Nelo York tribune,
