The New York Bulletin stat that official
returns of the business of the English rail-
roads prove that only the third-class passen-
&c traffic pays expenses. The first and sec
ond-class carriages are run al a loss. In 1872,
out of total of AS, S75,000 passengers in
England and Wales, 81, 67S, 600 were first-class,
Y, AGO. 900 second and 313,000,0 900 were third

sengers was S51, 594, 900, against only $25,
$4,000 from first and S21.000,000 from Sec
ond-class. 1t would seem, therefore, that al
though every effort is made to divert travel
to the dearer cars, the cheapness of the tariff
carries the day against all ideas of personal
conf TT. The obvious lesson to be drawn
from this experience of British companies is
that only one style of vehicle should be pro-
vided for the travelling public, as fictitious dis

LYNCH LAW IN MIssoURL-The st. Louis
Democrat seems discouraged by the outrages
COMMITTEE by vigilants in Missouri. 1t says:
SIN every county in our State we have secret
police organizations controlled by Judge Lynch.
We have been sadly made aware of late that
these organizations do not at all fulfill the pur-
poses for which they were instituted. They
are utterly insufficient to prevent the terrible
crimes committed in our vast agricultural dis
trcts, and exhibit horrible injustice where they
assume to punish crimes. They hang horse
thieves sentenced to the penitentiary, and kill
officers of the law taking these thieves to the
penitentiary, and at the same time they permit
murderers to strut about in public places unmo-
Tested, and robbers and thieves to carry out
their vocation IN open daylight. In one word,
Judge Lynch is failure in every respect, and a
coward and cruel scoundrel besides. Under
these circumstances, would it not be well for
the State to organize public State Police in
every township and county of the State? Such
d police would make the mob organizations,
now so shamefully usnrping the functions of
justice, useless and impossible, and would at
the same time not only punish, but also present
the crimes that have called these mob organi-
cations into existence"

THE POWER OF THOMAS A. SCOTT is in in
slant decision, activity followed up by executive
spirit, and never vaciating, and in his despatch
of an infinite number of different items consec-
utively. Thus, memory, confidence, and to
considerable degree, Judgment, enter into the
man. He acquired his art by original endow.
ments, and by experience in every field of rail-
reading, from repairing track and selling tickets
to managing legislatures and boards of drec-
tors The mental straiu to which this applica
zion would subject him is apparently neutraliz-
ed by his control of sleep. He can sleep in a
minute-in his office chair, in railroad car, in
stockholders meeting After business hours,
he diSmisses every responsibility from his mind
and plays euchre like a boy He never enrages
his mind with petty provocations, and antago-
nizes nobody except by an agent; but he will
beat an oppo ent for the Legislature or Con-
gress, without showing himself. He is tea
drinker, aud at o'clock takes his cup of tea in
his Office chair, dispatching business all the
while to Mr. Barclay or Ma Green, his assist
ants both of whom are cautious and prompt as
himseif.-George Alfred Townsend.
NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT TELLING
WHERE You ARE GoING.-One Jones of New
Hampshire, left home in August, 1871, two
years ago, and has not been heard FROM His
son died intestate a few months after. If his
father was then dead his estate was his sons,
and, at his death descended to his heirs at-law
II the father survived the son, his estate, on
the fathers death, went to his legal representa-
tives, who were not the same persons as those
of the son. The finding of the fathers body in
September 1872, afforded no light. In the alb
sence of evidence, the court held as in cases of
contemporaneous loss by shpwreck, that the
son, being the younger and presumably the
stronger, was the survivor. Thus simply by
not leaving word with somebody when or where
he might be looked for, the old man has per-
haps diverted his property from the heirs who
