Down WITH DEADHEADs.-The leading
Western railroad companies have resolved
upon effecting an abolition of the deadhead
system on their various routes, an example
which the companies in the East and South
would do we'll to initiate.
At meeting held in the Office of the Presi-
dent of the Illinois Central Railroad in Chicago
the other day, in which many of the most I'M
portant lines west of the Alleghanies were rep
resented, it was resolved to issue no free passes
after the present month, and to revoke all
passes now outstanding except in cases where
they have been given in accordance with pre-
vious understanding of the nature of contract.
Railroad employees are to be passed over the
lines with which they are connected during
their period of service; but they and those
having previously acknowledged contract rights
are to be the only privileged classes. Even the
officers of the roads making this compact are
required to return their passes held from other
companies, and in future to refuse requests for
exchange passes of any kind. Editors of news
papers will hereafter be permitted to pay their
railroad fares like Christians and gentlemen,
and all men without distinction of color or
previous condition of servitude to corporations
will be placed on footing of equality in this
regard.
The reform is an excellent one, having only
a single drawback. The most inyeterate dead
head in the country is the President who not
only expects to travel free himself, but to have
special cars assigned for his use and that of his
Immediate followers. Should the Eastern roads
also adopt the new system, Gen. Grant may
either be compelled to deny himself the pleas
ure of travelling during great portion of the
year, or else find in the augmented cost of ex-
istence under these regulations sufficient pre-.
text for lobbying through another increase of
his salary.

EFFECTS OF DROUGHT UPON EARLY Corn.
1t often happens that corn planted early fails
to ear well, ii protractcd drought happens
Just at the time when the tassel is appearing
the pollen which is needed to fecundate the
female flower being deficient, causes the vast
quantities of nubbins we so often meet Well
worked land is sometimes as lily used as poor
piney soil. 1t is advisable to remedy this con-
tingeucy by rcplanting a few hills through. a
field a couple of weeks Liter than the main
crop, the younger corn will often escape sea-
son of drought which may have befallen the
first planting and its pollen be made to remedy
the deficiency. The silk of corn will remain
fresh much longer than the tasseI, especially if
it has not been 'impregnatcd with the pollen,
hence few scattering hills of late planted
corn will often remedy pait of the bad effects
of an unreasonable drought. Now is the time
to try it.

The Christian Union says: owe sometimes
wonder which has the most injurious effect
upon the communicative perpetration of q
great crime, or the manner in which this crime
il generally announced by the public journals.
Freedom of the press is one of the glories of
our peculiar civilization but, while we would
in no wise disparage it, we think some guaranty
should be required 80 that this freedom might
not merge into license. How often we see in
our daily and weekly papers q horrid crime or
tale of woe embelished with sensational
analysis, and treated in sighting and unfeel-
ing manner, to pander to grossly immoral
taste p
We do no hesitate to say that the evil here
complained of is one OF the most disastrous
that corrupts our times. The newspaper is
daily making its impression upon us-daily
reiterating its speech. Not only its direct les
sons, but its very temper and style, thus habit
ually familiar, cannot fail to modify, and,
more or less assimilate the general mind-es-
pecially the feeling and style of the young.
There is probably no educational power equal
to it. Much-we sometimes think most-of
our national decentralization and vulgarity come
from it. The Union justly says that "this ia
miliar dealing with narratives of crime dulls
those finer feelings of tenderness and humanity
which an enlightened community should most
sedulously cultivate for these papers, entering
our homes, induce in our children an appetite
for startling and sinful accounts. This espe.
cially results when, as too frequently occurs, a
crime, instead of being justly condemned, is
worked up by an ingenious writer until its
several degrees and final elimination resemble
the plot and catastrophe of novel, wherein
the criminal plays the part of hero. Such
freedom of the press we heartily oppose, as
being detrimental to public morality"
A remedy for this monstrous evil is crying
want of the times What that remedy can be
we fail to see, for the vices of journalism are
nearly as formidable as those of intemperance.
The best thing that can be Immediately done
is for well-conducted families to utterly exclude
from their thresholds all journals that are NOR
ally Objectionable, however able they may 9TH
erwise be. But the press itself must clean out
its own Augean stable. 1t should disown and
scout the "Bohemianism" which has fastened
upon and degraded journalism. 1t should take
the rank and the self-respect of great, if not
the greatest, educational profession of the
civilized world. 1t is not yet half conscious
of its own importance, or it would have
morale more correspondent with its power

CArERp1LLARs.-We learn from our South
crn exchanges that the caterpilars have ap-
pearcd in many parts of the cotton growing
States, and that in consequence thereof planters
have, in some cases. plowcd up their cotton and
planted corn, or at least have crossed their
fields with corn.
It is unnecessary, we presume to say, if the
destrlctiveness of the catcrpillars shall be as
great as the early date of their appearance
gives cause to apprehend, that the growing
crop, in spite of the increased acreage planted,
will be very small one.
Yevy rarely, if ever before, have the cater
pillars put in an appearance at so many places
so early in the season Wilmington Journal.

WHAT New York POLICEMAN THINKS

WHAT A NEW YORK POLICEMAN THINKS
Among the persons who arrived at French's
Hotel in New York on Thursday was gentle
man from Virginia. In the evening, while he
was crossing the City Hall Park on his return
from a toar of Broadway, quietly making his
way toward his hotel, he felt something fell on
his head Under the blow he fell unconscious.
When he recovered he found himself minus ono
hat, one gold watch, and sixty dollars.
The Virg;nian was surprised. He had often
read of such things, but had never expected to
be o victim. With little hope of recovering
his property, he approached a policeman and
told him his loss. The officer asked the num-
Der and maker of the watch. The Virginian
gave him both Then the policeman asked the
denomination of the money. This was given,
and the Virgiuian began to have some hope
that he might recover his property, the officer
seemed so intent on his duty. But he was snr-
priscd By the next question.
"Now," said the officer, "do you know what
1 think?"
"No."
"Well, I don't think you'll ever see them
things again"
That's what the man from Virginia thinks.

A few years since there was Presbyteris

"A few years since there was Presbyterian
minister at Columbus, Miss, who had horror
of shouting in church, which fact was we'll
known to his congregation. One day, after he
had preached very spiritual sermon, an old
lady was observed to leave the church in very
hasty manner Meeting her a few days after,
the minister asked her why she had rushed
from the church so suddenly the Sunday before.
"Well," she responded, "the fact is, was so
filled with grace in listening to your sermon,
that | found I couldn't contain myself, so L
ran over to the Methodist church across the
way and shouted"

Rev Stcphen H. Tyng. in a recent Sc

- Rev. Stephen H. Tying, in recent ser
mon to children, expressed himself in this
emphatic way as to the comparative hopeless
ness of religious effort for adult believers
have lived so long in sin that their skins are
as hard as a turtles she'll? You can't make
them feel. You might strike them with a
pitchfork and it wouldn't go through then" ;"
Yet there are pastors who actually preach to
this class of iron-cad sinners, in preference to
children, ffty-two Sundays in year. Is it
not strange?

A young officer, serving with his company

Condition OF tho Ex.Empe
Napoleon. ~

The Condition or tho Ex-Emperor
Napoleon.
Our latest despatch from London is to the
effect that the condition of the ex-Emperor of
France is favorable. The suffering which
followed the operation of Monday has greatly
diminished, and his rest on Monday night
was i,ndisturbed. One Of the most encourag-
ing facts connected with the situation is that
DIR. Gull, who has been in attendance since
Thursday last, left the patient on Monday
evening, the case being, in his judgment, no
longer such as to demand his immediate atten-
ton. When we remember how such persons
as princes and even ex-emperors are waited
upon by their medical advisers the departure
of DR.. Gull from Chiselhurst must be regarded
as satisfactory proof that the condition of the
ex-Emperor is no longer critical. DR.. Gull it
will be remembered, is the physician who
waited with so much attention and success by
the bedside of the Prince of Wales during his
late serious illness at Sandringham. His sue
cess with the Prince of Wales removed him
from Kings Lynn to London, where he now
ranks among the very first Of his profession.
He is not the man to leave his patient unless
he believed him to be out Of danger. There is
hope, therefore, for the Emperor and the
Emperor's cause.

The CREDIT MoBnIER INFAMY.-The Credit
Mobilier scandal continues to excite the poll
ticians ct Washington and to disgust all hon.
orable men. Yesterday there was a scene Of
rowdyism in the committee room between
Alley and McComb, and Vice President Col
fax "made an explanation" of his connection
with the 'good and safe investment" SO lib
orally offered to congressman by Cakes Ames.
If we remember correctly, Mr.. Colfaxs denial
during the campaign, like that OF Senator
Wilson, was very broad and decisive. His
present statement is scarcely satisfactory
one. Indeed, the more the unfortunate
affair is explained the more humiiating it
becomes. Meanwhile the Attorney General is
considering the best manner in which to COM
mence suit against the Credit Mobilier for the
five millions of interest the corporation is in
arrears to the government of the United
States. He declares his firm determination
to bring the suit. 1t is to be hoped the At
torney General will keep his pledge; at the
same time it will be well to take care that this
new agitation does not distract public atten-
ton from the investigation into the charges Of
bribery and corruption made against those
who still hold positions Of high trust at the
hands of the people.
