PENNSYLVANIA has some decidedly COOL
headed young ladies. The 1itusviIle Herald
tells astory of one who should have the
medal. On the Union and Titusville Rail
road there is a long, high trestle, which is
on one side concealed from the engineer Of
an approaching train by a sharp curve in the
road. A short time ago, as train wheeled
around this curve, the engineer was horri-
fed to discover lady midway on the tres
tie. Quick as Thought he checked the train,
though he knew it was an utter impossible
'ty to bring it to a, stand in season to prevent
a dire catastrophe. The lady heard the
warning whistle, and turning her head. saw
the iron monster almost upon her: sEscape
seemed impossible foreman was certain
death ; to jumPEto the ground beneath,
distance of thirty orsforty feet, equally Ger
tain death; and to attempt to run ahead and
escape was out Of the. question: She neith.,

inches below the ends of the ties, and i'm
mediately under the stringer which supports
them, there. was Q jpist iyei inches wide run
ming from one support Of the strestle to an.
other. Quickly she swung herself down to
this harrow thread with the apparent ease
Of a gymnask and With hsf AIMS cIssped
around it, stretched herself at run length
along it as the train. thundefed by almost

action he thrswoff his brakes and putting
on steam hurried past as seon as possible,
when she nimbly sprans to the track again
and pursued her journey as though nothing
had happened.

In all the changes and eyolutions con-
stantly going forward in the vegetable world,
the sunbeam plays most important part
Analysis of sunbeam shows that it DOS
sesses three distinct functions on powers.
1t is capable of supplying light and heat,
and also it has dctinic force, or the capabil-
ity Of producing chemical decomposition
and decomposition. Upon the chemical in
fuence of the suns rays depends the ger
mination of seeds, as well as the growth of
the plant. We bury the seed in the ground
and shut it out from the influence of light,
but we do not place it beyond the reach of
the SUMS actinics influence, for that pene-
trates like heat to the little earthly couch
where the embryo plant lies hid, and arouses
lit into life. Light. or. the, luminous rays.of
the sun, SO important to the well being of
the plant, is actually inimical to the excita-
ton of vitality in the seed. How singular
is this fact! a series of carefully conduct
edrexperiments have proved that seeds will
not terminate in light. although supplied
with heat and moisture, when the actinic
rays are cut off. Deprived of the luminous
rays, with the actinic in full force, they
spring into life with great rapidity.. Seeds
sown upon the surface Of the earth will
scarcely gsrmiHate, as soil cultiyators very
well know and on the other hand, seeds
buried deep, so that the actinic rays cannot
reach them, win certainly perish The
piaating of seeds so-as 10 secure the proper
distance below the surface is mostr i'm
portant point in husbaDdry, as it has much
to do withsthe early starting of the plants,
and the success of the crops.-NichoLs'

l. IHE American IN EUROPEIhe StDtsS
Economist devotes in its last issue an inter-
esting and instructive article to the influence
which the steady growth of American trav-
ell in the Old World has had upon continen-
tai affairs in general According to that
journal, the general estimate that twenty
five thousand Americans annually visit the
Old World is correct, but it says that the
general estimate that these Americans on
an average leave one thousand dollars each
in Europe is by far too low, and that that
sum should at least be trebled. 1age
TO the expensive habits of the American
ttraveler, according to the writer, is pripci-
pally due the enormous rise in hotel charges
on the Continent during the last few years.
Nay, he confidently asserts that, but for
American customers, the Continent would
still be without most of the superb first
class hotels which have been erected since
the close of the civil war in the United
States. Previous to the large and regular
influx Of tourists from the Old into the
New World, most of the Continental hotels
bore strongly national character. Since
then they have, as a general thing, become
International caravansaries. Twenty years
ago who would have heard of an American
hotel even in those parts of Switzerland,
Italy and France principally visited by for
eign tourists? To-day Paris has three or
four, Lyons two. Marseilles two, Dresden,
Berlin and Hamburg one, Vienna three,
with two more in course of erection, Nice
two, Venice, Florence, Rome and Naples,
each one. OF American newspapers, there
are now on the European Continent FIVE,
and their number will soon be. increased by
four more. The number of newspapers
published in the United States and received
at the post-offices of the various continental
States has grown in al few years at a truly
enormous rate. Berlin alone receives by
every Atlantic steamer nearly twenty,f five
hundred American dailies, and in conse-
quence a special American clerk has been
employed there. Five hundred New York
dailies are regularly takenin Dresden elev-
en- or twelve hundred in Paris two hun
dred in Geneva two hundred in Rome, and
one hundred even in the distant St. Peters
burg. Formerly even the largest reading
rooms on the Continent rarely contained
any American reading To-day even
second and third rate reading establishments
are considered incomplete without full files
of the prominent daily and weekly New
York journals. Besides, American news
paper spirit has exerted most sensible in
fuence on the management of the best con-
tinental journals themselves. Emile de
Girardin, who justly deserves the name of
the best and most enterprising newspaper
manager in France, said in the programme
with which he issued the first number La
Li6erte, :" I will strive to make it an Amer
lean journal, SO far as enterprise, vivacity
and variety are concerned" -Appleton's

storm and found his dog kennel buried in

mercifuI to his beasts But after he left

POWER OF THE WnL.-Even if battling
with inward disease as well as outward foes
you may, with heroic spirit, triumph in the
end. Men have cured themselves of pain
full diseases by herculean effort of the vo-
lition, and physicians always count upon a
cheerful, hopeful frame of mind in their pa
tients as one of the most important agen-
cies in effeeting restoration to health.
Aaron Burr laid aside wasting fever like
garment, to join the expedition against
Quebec. One of the greatest generals of
the Thirty Years War was Torstenson. On
account of his suffering from the govt he
was usually carried about in litter yet
the .rapdity of his movements was the as
constituent of the world. When Douglas
Jerrold, being very sick, was told by his
physician that he must die, What p he
said, land leave family Of helpless chill
dren? l soomt diep and die he did not for
several years. When were the prospects of
any man gloomier than those Of Wolfe just
before he captured Quebec? From his ear
ly youth he had suffered severely from
fatal disease and the seeds of. others were
deep laid in his constitution. He had been
severely repulsed in an attack ON Mont
calm's intrenchment south of Quebec his
troops were dispirited the promised auxil-
iarles under Amherst and johnson had
failed to arrive; and he himself, through IA
tigue and anxiety preying on his delicate
frame, fell violently i'll Of a fever. Partially
recovering his health, he s~rites to the gov
eminent at home, as if to prepare the pub
lie mind in England for his failure or re-
treat, a, letter full of gloom, concluding
thus: al am SO far recovered as to do
business, but my constitution is entirely
ruined, without the consolation of having
done any considerable, service to the State,
or without the prospect of it." Within
five days only from the date of that letter,
the Heights of Abraham had been scaled,
Montcalm defeated, the seemingly impreg-
nable fortress surrendered, and the name of
Wolfe had become immortal to all ages =

WHEELING, February -, Is

WHEELING, February -, 1873.
Edi'oIs OF the Register:
wish to make few remark through
your valuable paper in relation to q
communication signed by a Suffering
Nail Feeder. Now, to begin with, he
goes OIL to state that feeders as a gene
raj rule are young men, who have to
depend on 50 to 81 so per day and the
nailers as a general rule make from s35
to s5Op week. Now, Mr., Editor, who
ever heard of rule in a nail mill aver
aging a mans wages No, there ID no
such law existing a mailer makes &C.
coriing to the number of machines be
superintends and the style OF nails he
makes, and the feeder makes according
to the style OF nails he cuts; and the
Sufferers average OF feeders wages
are based upon bottom rates, as any
feeder who reads his communication
will find it as / say, for feeder that
cuts l0d nails or anything over that,
his average is far above what he says.
He states that he does net want 10
Black Sheep, and asks his brother SUI
ferers to assemble to go to work in
body. Now Mr.. Editor, in reality this
vile man contradicts himself, for be
wants TO Black Sheep but is ashamed
to come out like a man and say 80.
Now a man that will do as he has
done, in trying to inveige some other
feeders into doing as mean trick as
he is trying to perpetrate, has not the
principal OF brute. Now, Mr.. Editor,
the Sufferer knows, and we feeders all
know that this strike is as much to the
feeders advantage as the nsilers, and |
think more to ours, tor the simple rea-
son that it the nailers would not make
an effort to keep wages up, what would
we do? Why, just what is in our Sut-
ierer's head nothing; for if the man
ufacturers were to reduce the nailers
fifty per cent we would have to engage
rooms at the County Farm.
And now in conclusion. l will inform
the Sufferer, If he wishes any support
rom the nailers, let him 60 to them
and state his case and he will be the re.
cipient of handsome sum, which he
will be charged with, and he can pay
it next pay day.
Hoping that this may be the end OF
my newspaper controversy, We are
Yours very truly,

There Is no pain that the Centaur Lini-

is true. Where the parts are not gone its eff
'ects are marvellous. 1t has produced mere
cures of rheumatism, neuralgia, lock-jaw,

scalds, burns, salt-rheum, ear.sche, &c,

SPAWN, gals, &C., upon animals in one
year than have all other pretended RENE
dies since the world began. 1t is count r
irritant, an all healing pain reliever. Grip
pies throw away their crctches, the lame
walk, poisonous bites are rendered harmless
and the wounded are healed without scar.
1t is no humbug. The recipe is published
around each bottle. 1t Is selling as no otl-
er ever before sold, and 1t sells becau'e II
does just what 1t pretends to do. Those
who no 4 suffer from rheumatism, ran or

use Centaur Liniment. More than 100 GER
tifcatel OF remarkable cures, including
