Talk is Cheap:-It costs nothing to talk.
The wear and tear of the tongue and lungs is
very slight. 1t takes but little power to keep
them running, and what misery it causes some
if it remains idle. Probably the cheapest
commodity in the world is talk, which per-
haps makes it SO delightful TO indulge in it.
There is a cost, however, that falls on some
one Somebody pays for the intimations that
are started, and like the nvalsnce gather as
they roll, until before they stop base ISLANDERS
have grown from that talk which is so cheap.
When there is talk it is about something or
somebody, and generally the latter character
is handled as though it was a worthless chip.
If people could be persuaded to look after
their own interests as assiduously as they
watch the affairs of others,- our generation
would be one of individual models, perfect in
character, unexceptionable in conduct. The
time is coming when this rushing torrent Of
cheap talk must be checked, aud value put
upon words that will bring discretion into
more general use, and whoever helps TO do it
will be benefactor to his race. The stock Of
cheap talk that hovers about street corners, to
couple virtue with vice, and the other kinds
of talk INDUCED in by people generally, about
the life, conduct, habits, standing, &C., of 9TH
ers, is entirely too cheap. People rarely be-
come entangled-in petty quarrels except as
others spread the net, and drive them into it.
The expression which you utter, wholly inno-
cent OF any Prejudicial effect comes back
shortly, by a circuitors route, 50 mutilated
and exaggerated that you do not recognize your
own statement, in the hateful accusation
which is credited to you Vsxation,
and many troubles that now agitate society,
would in great measure cease if talk was
not so cheap.

Night Thoughts,-The season and dark
ness of night bring with them feelings of Sc
curity and compOsure truly refreshing to the
pestered tired soul that is hunted and tortured
from hour to hour in the day light. Back in
to the night, within the protecting walls Of
your own apartment, you are relieved by the
sweet consciousness that you will not be dis
turbed by the distracting opportunities of a
persistent book agent, who continues her en-
treaties over your refusals, until you wish in
your desperation, that the author had died at
birth, and that she was the beloved teacher
of district school, in some peaceful valley
far away. The pensive life insurance agent.
can not inspire your discouraged mind with
hope, by the refreshing assurance that you
may not live an hour, although for the sake Of
your destitute family, he will insure you on
the ten year plan. The bland, beardless, ell
derly gentleman, in well worn broad-cloth,
having about him such Ministerial air, dare
not approach you with Aattering accounts Of
the Skinemquick Mining Company, Just or
ganized, and you have been voted charter
member, provided you take ten shares. In
this miraculous escape you preserve ten years
Of your life. Neither do importunate creditors
hunt you after night, displaying to your mind
spectacular representations of a public vendue
which occasion will be house-cleaning time in
your history. The gentle, coaxing rustling
paper, headed eve the undersigned agree to
pay 6sc' which forms the fore ground to half
your street visions, during the day, is folded
at night, and your dreams are not troubled by
it. Night is good for many purposes aside
from the sleep it brings and its all a mis-
take trying to turn it into day.

gslins Sublimity, are soon to be married.
Whether they win marry each other or not is
not made public. eHatd
Ths public we're alarmed yesterday at the
rumor that another freckle had appeared on
Miss Lucinda Shippers nose. We are glad to
be able to state upon the authority of one who
examined them that the original number has
not been increased.
We should be pleased to notice at length
the new turnout of the irresistible young
Wbeezingsnipe, but We are not informed
whether the carriage is trimmed with red or
yellow.
The graceful and highly accomplished Miss
Greasywinkle, slipped and fell, on Beeswax
Avenue, at a quarter of ten yesterday, and ac-
quilted herself with such ease and grace as to
preserve her hustle and chignon entirely in
tact.
The dignifed and modest young Fritz Won
Squeakerton, was placed in deeply embar-
RAISING position yesterday, while conversing
with friends. During an Intellectual attempt
to spit, his linen collar was slightly wrinkled.
To one Of such modest prOeliVities the mortica-
ton must have been truly painful.
The wealthy Alpheus Pimpleton, and his
amisble spouse, Mrs. Pimpleton, together with
their lovely daughters, the Misses Pimpieton,
also their three promising sons, were merci-
lessiy exposed TO the whOOping cough on Mon
cay of the present week. The berea7ed FAM
ly viii have the sympathies of many friends,
during their prospective afliction.
We hasten to do justice to our learned
friend DR.. Pigeonstrap, by correcting the an
nouncement made last week, that he intended
to keep hen the coming season. 1t should
have been COW. We shall never forgive our
selves for the damaging effect which such a
misrepresentation might have on his moral
character.
1t viii be interesting to the many friends OF
GehiAh Goosaker's family to learn, that here
after they will enter church by the center
door, instead of the West entrance as hereto
fore.
Many important personals are unavoidIy
crowded out of this issue for want of breath.

How to Prevent Fires.-An eastern
exchange has the following suggestions for
prevention of fires, which we consider as
worthy attention form every person:
In the first place matches should be kept in
metal boxes and out of reach Of children, as
also rats and mice. Fill fluid lamps
only by daylight, and nsver near any fire.
When depositing coal or wood ashes, first be
sure there are no live Goals or cinders, and
then do not place ashes in a wooden vessel.
A light. or ashes, should never be placed un-
der a staircase; and an open light should new
ar be carried on examination of gas metres or
Gas pipes IN a building. Never take a light
into closet or near curtains. Do not read in
bed bv candle or lamp light. Place glass
shades over gass lights in show windows,
and do not crowd goods near them. No
smoking should be allowed In warehouses.
When furnaces are used the principal register
should be fastened open.-Stove pipes should
be at least four inches from wood work, and
guarded by tin. All hatchways-o or openings in
the floors of stores, factories or warehouses
should be closed at night, as also, all iron
doores between stores.

Promoted to the 5uperentendency.
With the extension of the Lake Erie and
Louisville Railway, which makes it an i'm
portant line Of road in its connections and
local business the directors have relieved the
President of a portion of his responsibilities,
by making Assistant Superintendent Burgoon
General Superintendent of the road. The
company is to be congratulated in having a
man SO well qualified for the position
at the head of the business
of the road. Thirteen years ago MIR. Burgoon
went into the company's employ as an Office
boy. Faithfulness and careful attention to
the interests comitted to his care pushed him
up from one position to another, until be be-
came Conductor and General Freight Agent.
In this capacity he served for several years,
aud last spring was made Assistant Superin-
tendent, and at a late meeting of the directors
was made Superintendent. Being thoroughly
acquainted with railroad management in all
its details, the business interests of the road
will receive careful and judiciOus management
in the hands Of the new Superintendent.

Mexican Mustang Liniment,

FOR MAN AND BEAST,
Probably few articles have ever had
so extensive a Sale, while none have
been more universally beneficial than
the celebrated MEXICAN MUSTANG
LINIMENT. Children Adults, HOrs-

liable to accident, and 1T is safe to say
that no family can pass single season
without some kind of an emoIIient being
necessary. H6ecoBles a matter of importance

HOW TO GO WEST.


This is an enquiry which every one should
have truthfully answered before he starts on
his journey, and little care taken in exami-
nation of Routes will in many cases save much
trouble, time and money.
The &C., B. S5 O. R. R." running from
Chicago, through Galesburg to Burlington,
and the IL, B & W. Route" running from
Indianapolis, through Bloomington to Bur-
lington, have achieved a splendid reputation in
the last two years as the leading Passenger
Routes to the West. At Burlington they con-
meet with the B. s. NJ. R. R. and from the
great Burlington Route, which runs direct
through Southern Iowa to Nebraska and Kan
sas, with close connections to California and
the Territories; and passengers starting from
Sandusky County, on their way westward,
cannot do better to take the BURLINGTON
ROUTE.
This Line has published pamphlet called
"How to go West" which contains much val
liable information; large correct map of the
Great West, which can be obtained free oi
charge by addressing the General Passenger
Agent B. & NJ. R. R. Burlington, Iowa.

Simultaneous, and what is better, permanent

presented for the frst time on Wednesday, Jan,
sth, and three evenings thereafter. The operetta
itself is Of the most brilliant and fascinating char

gorgeous description, and the mechanisns tri-
u1nphs of mechanical skill which serve to inspire
the beholder with admiration and wonder.
Nothing approximating to this elaborate enter
tainment has ever before been attempt ted here.and
notwithstanding the expenses attending it are
nearly Thousand dollars, and the admission fee
in other cities has been 75c. and $l.Oo. Mr.. Nc

from his usual rates, the price fixed upon being 50
cents, with no reserved scots. which is sure to
crowd the hall to its utmost capacity.
