Strangely good news is that wificir
comes across the water from Europe
of the discovery of the means o.
preventing sea-sickness. The oceaif
is robbed of half Of its horrors to
the majority CT travellers by the an-
nouncement. Bessemer, the inven-
tor of the new process of making
steel, is the man who has thus be-
come doubly beuefactor to his
race. Lest the reader who has yivi,t
recollections of his last attempt or
shipboard to throw up bis shoes aG.t
stockings may suppose this Is apotIs-
er newspaper sensation, we viii con
vince bin Of its reality by brief
description of the vessel of the fu-
turs, on board of which the passen-
ger with delicate stomach may laugh
at the swelling waves and enjoy his
dinner amid the howling OF the
winds. Mr.. Bessemer's Steamship Is
built very long, with low freeboard.

This will enable it to cut through
the waves instead of rising to them.

saloon, seventy feet In length, thirty
feet In width and twenty feet in
higath, carrying promenade deck
at a hight OF seven feet above the
ordinary deck, has been placed in tie
center of the vessel and suspended
at points in q line with the keel
This saloon is governed by a set of
hydraulic apparatus beneath it, and
SO arranged that as the vessel rolls
to either side the pressure OF resist
ance afforded by the water is at once
brought into use to check the motion.
A pair of equilibrium valves, actuated
By double lever like the handle OF
a bicycle, are managed by steers
man. who. with curved spirit lever
before him, watches the slightest
indication OF rolling in the vessel,
and immediatly suppresses the Ten
dency of the saloon to follow the
ship. Thus the travellers may sit or
walk on the promenade deck of this
new craft wkile it is tossing IN the
chops of the English Channel, the
most trying sea for qualmish people
in the world, and feel no more motion
than he now experiences in railroad
car. Steamboats, built on the new
plan are intended for the business
between Dover and Calais. We nev-
er permit ourselves to be beaten III
the inventive line by other people.
Why, therefore, should not some
American improve ON the Bessemer
idea, and give us passenger steam
ships which will take Us to Europe.

GREELEY's SoN.-One of the mos,
touching features OF Mr. Gfeelev's
character was his wonderful love for
his son, Arthur T. (.Pickie") Gree
ley, who died over twenty years ago,
but whom he delighted to talk about
till the end of his lite. 1t is of him
that MIR. Greeley speaks in the affect
ing passage with which he closes a
statistical sketch of Lake Superior
and its shores: "who shall then know
or care that l. tired wanderer from
the city's strife, once roaming along
these shores, patiently turning over
the pebbles and sand in search of .ag-
ates and comedians, or joyously gath
ering the red berries of tho mountain
ash, and all for thee dear son of my
heart! Polar Summer of my rugged
life. then SO anxiously waiting me at
our distant cottage home, as now
more calmly in the radiant Land OF
Soulsl God keep me worthy of thy
love through the long, weary years
till meet thee and greet thee in tha,
world where the loving reunite, to
be parted no more forever"

A most remarkable case of con-
science comes to us from Boston.
From doorstep of that most. con-
scientious town. few mornings
since, was stolen pitcher containing
q pint of milk. What pangs of re-
morse the thief suffered we can only
infer from the fact that upon subse-
quent morning the pitcher was re-
turned to its accustomed place, and
in it were found four cents, the valae
of the stolen milk. which the thief
had probably drank for his breakfast,
and SO could not return.

A few days since. one of our pop

his opinion upon certain roint of

drew a half-dollar fractional, from
his pocket, and handed it to the 9TH

SURE TEST OF DEATH. To learn
with absolute certainty whether per-
son is dead or not, Mr.. Hugo
Magnus suggests the following
simple method: Tie strong string
ligature tightly around q finger or
toe of the supposed corpse, and if
life is still present, reddening,
which grows gradually darker until
it becomes a bluish-red, will occur in
that portion of the member beyond
the CONSTRUCTED point. Where from
exposure or toll the skin of the finger
has become very much thickened, o
toe may be selected. On the other
hand, if life is extinct, no change in
color will ensue.
1t is recommended in the applica-
ton of this method that the large
limbs, such as the arms or thigh, be
not chosen. because the necessary
amount of construction cannot be so
readily obtained. the numerous large,
deep-lying veins of the muscles not
being sufficiently compressed by the
ligatnre. In case the fingers or toes
are not available, the lobe of the ear
may be employed. GALAXY.

The RAnwAYs AND THE PEop1E.-To de-

The RAIwAYs AND THE PEopLE-To de-
ny that the excitement on the railway ques-
ton in Illinois is intense would be to ignore
facts. A distinguished citizen, familiar for
twenty years with the habits of thought Of
the people of the State, said: 81 never saw
the people SO wrought up before in my life. !"
AT the point when the railway monopolists
began to tighten their grip upon the indus
try of the country and make themselves felt as
an oppression, the war of rebellion broke
out The peril of liberty distracted the at
tention of the people from the peril of prop
erty interests. But while the farmers and
mechanics shouldered their muskets and went
to the front to crush ort the rebellion, the
railway companies continued to seek and OBJ
tain grants Of special privileges, to build new
lines, water stocks, charge exorbitant rates
FOR transportation, and to rivet the chains of
their corporate despotism more firmly upon
the people. In 1861, when the war COM
menced, Illinois had but 2,S67 miles of rail-
way. During the period of tumult and war
and of the scarcely less exciting period of re-
construction, the companies added 5000
miles to the system-more than duplicating
pre-existing lines, and fastening their power
more firmly upon the necks of the people.
1t was not until 1870 that the people began
to wake up to a realizeing sense of the huge
ness and completeness of the tyranny estab-
ished over them. 1t now turnes out that
4 1000 new miles of railway were built, not
to accommodate them, but to oppress them
and absorb their substance. The American
people are long suffering and slowto anger,
but when once aroused no power can sue
cessfully antagonize them. They have de-
termined to throw off the incubus of the sys-
TEN of abuses and extortions which have be-
come synonymous with railway management
In Illinois they have determined upon the
mode of its accomplishment; and neither
courts, nor Legislatures, nor governors, can
defeat their solemuly formed purpose any
more than civil engineer can dam Niagara.
