why the railroad companies could not do .
very large portion of tho express business of
the country, and perhaps all Of it, simply by
handling and delivering parcels and hight freight
with dispatch and with the accommodating
spirit shown by the express companies.
| Once more. To burden the business OF the
country with any great addition to present
rates, especially If the addition we're announced
as permanent policy. would be disastrous to
the last degree, not only to business interests
! generally. but to the railroads themselves, es-
pecially in the West. At present rates, gram
can be raised and shipped to market certain
distance alta profit. When rates are placed
above those at present exacted, that distance
is greatly lessened. and the railroads at the
end Of the line suffer great dimnution o.
business. 1t ought to be the policy OF every
road to favor by every means the settlement
Of the country through which it runs. 1t has
a practical monopoly Of its local business, and
an enlightened self-interest should lead to eff
forts to foster that as much as possible. Sup
pose, for instance, that by handling fruit at as
low prices as it can be done-at the bare cost
of the service, even the manager Of the Cmca-
90 Il Michigan Lake Shore Railroad could In
duce men to engage in the fruit business all
along his line, so that the couatry should be
cut up into small farms lie those close by |
Benton Harbor and st. Joseph, who can doubt |
that the other business it would bring would |
pay more profit than all now made in carrying
fruit
The real interest OF the public and the roads
is identical. 1t is for the interest of the roads
that the public prosper; 1t is for the interest
OF the public that the roads should be profit
able but In order to establish them together,
the thieves and money-chapgers must be driven
out OF the temple with many stripes, and the
management Of railroads reduced to legti-
mate basis, fictitious values swept away and
business reduced to = bottom principles" We
must have railroads, and more Of them. They
must be managed honestly, efficiently and eco
The great through-lme which first
places its affairs upon such foundation will
be able to distance its competitors in the race
for business-although its manager may not
succeed in amassiug so large private fortune
at the expense Of those whom he serves, as
has heretofore usually been the case.

IHE MARsHALsHIP.-There has been
gr"I, activity among certain politicians in re-
gard to the u. S. Marshalship, within the mast
week. The reconsideration by the Senate of
the confirmation of The appointment of Marshal
Dunn, created quite Juror. Some of the an
plicants for the position posted of to Washing
ton' others got ready to do so, while other tele
graphed to Lohand, and fitted up "rhe 81 ate,
to suit their wishes. In the meantime word
arrived that the vote on reconsideration had
been rtconsidered, and the chances of the con-
hrmation again doomed up. The Marshal of
course was elatel, and felt ready to give thres
cheers foi the prospect of another term, while
the hopes of his rivals fell down to zero.

are marvellous. 1t has produced more cures of
rheumatism, neuralgia, palsy, locljaw, sprains,
swellings, caked breasts, scalds, burns, salt
rheum, ear-ache, &C., upon the human frame,
and of strains, SPAWN, gals, &C., upon animals
In one year than have all other pretended REM
edies since the world began. It is counter-ir-
ritant, an all-heating pain-reliever. Cripples
throw away their crutches, the lame walk, poi
sonous bites are rendered harmless, and the
wounded are healed without scar. 1t Is no
hulnbug. The recipe is published around each

pretends to do. Those who now suffer from

one OF the most important duties being the al.

drafts, sent from st. Lonis by the Third Ma
tional Bank to the National Bank of Commerce
on the night Of January 81, failed to reach their
destination, but have not since been presented.
The mails Of the 14th and 18th of February
were also robbed, and few days ago inforna-
tion came fiom Buffalo that draft for $4,000,
issued by a bank here in favor of j. G. Ayres d
Co., Of New York, had been presented to an
express company in Buffalo, with the name OF
the firm forged.
The forgery was not discovered until after
the draft had been paid. Upon receipt OF this
Information, Gen. Smith, postmaster, imme-
iliately commenced investigations, and ascer-
tanned that the mail of January 18th did not 60
through, and that the mail box was robbed Of
several letters, apparently between st. Loui.
