At A MEETING OF THE BOARD OF
a Directors of the Nashville, Chattanooga and
s.. Louis Railway, held on the Sd day Of March,
1874, a dividend of two per cent was declared on
the consolidated stock OF the Company, payable
on and after April l, 1874.
This is virtually six per cent on the old Nash
vile and Chattanooga Railroad stock. hope
Stockholders will so understand it.
Those who have not had their stock renewed
will receive two per cent upon the consolidated
stock. or six per cent upon their original stock.

THE Fayetteville Express, noticing
that the dispatch of business at the re-
cent Circuit Court was much retarded
by the frequency of chung juries,"
says
IF the Legislature will introduce in
to the statutes clause providing that
juries failing to render a verdict shall
receive no compensation whatever, we
are Of the opinion that the difficulty
VIII at once be obviated. When it is
well understood that if there is no Ver-
dict there will be no g~reenbacks, we
feel sure that a verdict will be forth
coming in ninety-nine ases out Of a
hundred"
This is rather a violent remedy. Ia
view Of the frequent escape of criminals
through the meshes of the law, doesn't
our contemporary think some juries
ought TO be "hung."

THE CRUSADE IN OHIO.

The Cincinnati Commercial states
that the crusade against the saloons in
Ohio. which commenced in December
last. has resulted In the closing of
about three hundred saloons, most of
them, however, small affairs, and dis
pensers of but limited quantities Of
liquor, and that journal adds: But the
effect of the agitation of the question
of temperance has been to diminish the
consumption of s%pirituous liquors even
in the large cities. Many moderate
drinkers have sworn off entirely, and
some excessive consumers have dimin-
ished the number and quantity of their
daily rotations. The receipts of
the Revenue Department from
the Ohio and Indiana district
fell off a half million dollars in
February, and it is probable the
returns from other States to which the
agitation has extended, viii show a de.
cline, though hardly so marked as IN
| Ohio, where the crusade has been push
ed most vigorously and swept oyer TIE
largest area. If it goes on as those en-
gagged in it declare it shall go on, and
the manufacture and consumption
fall off for the next nine months as
they have decreased in the past thres
months, Congress will have seriously
to consider upon what articles of pro-
duction and manufacture a heavier tax
may be laid to make up the deficit in
the evenue. The tax upon liquor has
been the most profitable source Of rev.
enue to the Government, and a dimi-
mutton in the manufacture and sale is
a direct blow at the National income"

Comfort for the Poor.

One of the pleasantest features OF
Liverpool is the great number of really
neat and very comfortable houses for
the working class. In some parts of
the city, especially toward and in the
environ known as Bootle, there are
hundreds of small, two story brick cot
tages "allin row." cheap, convenient,
and attractive. In walking through
the city enc finds street after street
lined with small houses about sixteen
feet wide by thirty-fve feet deep, built
in Gothic style. These houses are SINH
lar IN design; narrow hall with stairs
leading to the upper story. \ parIor,
or front room, perhaps twelve feet
square. 4 dining-room of similar size
back of the parlor, and then leanto -
or kitchen (; from two to four bedrooms
upstairs. Thus are arranged the homes
OF thousands of people III Liverpool,
who for a yearly rental ranging from
twenty to twenty-five pounds, or from
hundred to hundred and twenty-five
dollars year, have homes instead of
tenement house rooms in which to live.
AS general thing, the houses of the
working class are very neat, We n-fur-
ui0HOi anu PiododHe. Lie HUE yaru III
front of the house is kept clean the
little window over the door enables one
to see that on the ledge inside has been
placed some ornament-usually plas-
ter cast of horse, a COW, Christ on the
cross, a Jolly tailor. Mary and her little
lamb, ar something of that kind. In
some instances the wife takes one or
two boarders of her own order to exc
out carefully spent income The En-
glish working-man lives on less food
than does the working-man in America.
He buys closer and wastes less. He
drinks beer instead of whisky, and takes
more time for his meals. In England
people are more careful to buy what
they need, very sensible plan worthy
OF universal adoption.

Behind the Scenes.

Sothern. according to an interviewer
in litter Dinner, says: "Does acting
tell on me? Yes, indeed, it does. I'm
til within the last two years, have
never given myself more than four
weeks rest in a year. have noticed
the wear and tear ON my constitution
because my labors are heavier than the
public know anything about. I will
give the work of one day, when there is
a matinee. 1 perhaps have a scenic
and property rehearsal at o'clock; a
company rehearsal at 10 o'clock, and
this rehearsal lasts until l o'clock [
have half an hour for lun h, go on the
stage at o'clock, and act till half-past
four dine at 5; from six to seven
rest; at s o'clock ON the stage again !;
the performance is over at half-past ten
or quarter to eleven and then I am
so weary that after light supper l am
compelled to go at once to bed. In my
early days, when the star actor had to
write out his own part, instead of buy
ing printed books, / have frequently
written and studied twelve long parts
week, and each of these were seven
lengths, making an aggregate of twelve
times sos lines of fresh matter per
week. This was to arrive at the mere
question of getting the words into my
head the analyzation of the character
being another thing to do afterward
I have had to study all day when 1 was
not rehearsing or eating and to go
straight home from the theater at night
and stay up till three and four and five
in the morning; have been Obliged to
get up at eight o'clock the same morn
ing, read my parts over again and go to
a rehearsal at 10 o'clock. I got my
memo ry SO well cultivated that at last
would get my wife to read through a
long farce, just repeating the speeches
twice, without ever having seen the
words myself, and get through it actu-
ally every word.

The Governor Of Wisconsin and {
Railroads.

Gov. Taylor, of Wisconsin, has issued a
proclamation warning the railroads not to
violate the new law, and declaring that he
will employ the whole power of the State to
enforce it. The following is the closing por-
ton of his proclamation:
Nor, therefore, I, William r. Taylor, Governor
of the State OF Wisconsin, do proclaim and make
known that the law of the land must be respected
aud obeyed- While none weak as to be with
out its protection, none strong as to be above
its restraints. If the provisions of the law be
deemed oppre ssive resistance to Its mandates will
not abate, bat rather multiply the antici-
pated evils. 1t may be that the law is
defective in some of its details but it is still the
law of the land, enacted by the Legislature the
exercise Of its conceded powers ard in accordance
with the clear.y-defned sentiment OF the people of
the State 1t is the right of all to test its validity
through the constituted channels; but with that
right is coupled the duty of yielding general
obedience to its requirements until 1t has been pro-
nounced invalid by competent authority. 1 am
not without hope that better counses will yet pre-
vail with the railroad companies of the State but

Letters from Livingstone.

John w. Livingstone, who lives at
Listowel, Canada, lately received two
letters from his brother, the late DIR.
Livingstone, covering eight pages of
closely written foolscap. One is dated
Monyuma, in the CanDibal country,
April and November, 1870, and the
other Lake Bangwodo, December, 1872,
and both are marked private and con-
fidential." The doctor mentioned meet
ing Mr.. Stanley, whom he styles his
good Samaritan, sent by Mr.. James
Gordon Bennett, of the New York Her.
aid, and whose conduct while there was
beyond all praise. The doctor finishes
the last letter by saying If the good
Lord alone gives me strength and in
fuence to complete this task, 1 shall not
grudge my hunger and toll. Above all,
if He permit me to put a stop to the
enormous evils of this inland slave
trade, / shall bless his name with all my
heart. The Niles sources are valuable
to me only as means of enabling me
to open my mouth among men. 1t is
the power L hope to apply to remedy an
enormous evil, and join my poor little
helping hand In the great revolution
that, in his all embracing providence,
He has been carrying on Tor ages.

How the Eye is Swept and Washed.

For us to be able to see objects clear
ly and distinctly, it is necessary that the
eye should be kept clean. For this
purpose it is furnished with little
gland, from which flows watery fluid
(tears) which is spread over the eve by
the lid, and it is afterward swept off by
it, and run through hole in the bone
to the under surface of the nose, where
the warm air passing over it while
breathing, evaporates it. 1t is remark
able that no such gland can be found
in the eyes of fish, as the element in
which they live answers the same pur-
pose.
Ii the eye had not been furnished
with a liquid to wash it, and lid to
sweep it off, things would appear as
they do when you look through dusty
glass. Along the edges of the eyelids
there are great number of little tubes
or glands, from which flows ar oily
substance which spreads over the sur
face of the skin, and prevents the edges
from being sore or irritated, and it also
helps to keep tears within the lid.
There are also six little muscles, at
tached to the eye, which enable US to
move it in every direction; and when
We consider the different motions they
are capable of giving to the eye, we
cannot but admire the goodness of Him
who formed them, and thus saved us the
trouble of turning our heads every time
we wished to view an object.

P0nnlar Weather Signs.

Would it not serve useful purpose
if some scientific meteorologist were to
gather into a mass the various weather
signs-whether valuable or not-treas-
ured by the farmers and other common
sense people of the country, and then
sift them, so that those of real value
may have their proper influence, and
those which are merely fanciful may
cease to mislead?
That there are weather signs of abund-
ance, everybody knows. Thatthe greater
part of these signs are utterly valueless,
every person of intelligence can testify.
Yet that they do practically influence
the time and mode of the planting of
crops, and of their after culture, will
be acknowledged by many who would
not be suspected of the folly, and who
can give no other reason for it than the
force of habit.
"We are going to have dry month, -
said farmer the other day.
How do you know?" he was asked
"By The Indian sign of the new
moon" he replied. "Its horns hung so
sloping that they could hold no water. 3"
His companion laughed. "Why,
that's my Injin sign for wet moon. The
horns slope so that they loose all the
water"
The sign in the one case was no doubt
rs prophetic as in the other.
always plant your potatoes in the
dark of the moon, if you wish to have
a full CROP" heard my neighbor say.
"Bnt never kill your pork nor boil
OF
are willing to have then shrink to moth
ing"
"What is your authority for this ?"
81 have always so heard" he an
swered with some hesitation, "and al
ways so practiced. Potatoes, you know,
being roots, naturally love darkness.
And soap and bacon-I suppose they
take their cue from the state of the
moon. The fact is, 1 only know that
this is the old-time rule
eve are to have frost on the 10Th Of
May" said farmer to me on the 9Th of
April.
L was shocked, for he looked wise and
lugubrious, and frost at that time in
our latitude would have cost millions of
dollars. I asked Chow do you
know"
because we had fog on the 10th
of March.
He saw me smiling and added, 81
have heard this rule even since L was a
boy, and it has never failed yet"
1.-The surest rule know for fortell-
ing the weather throughout the year, -
said a planter possessed of at least a
seni-collegiate education, els to note
the twelve days between new Christmas
(from Dec. 25 to Jan. g.. The months
of the ensuing year are apt to be wet or
dr7, cool or warm, according to the days
corresponding" He seriously declared
that for many years he had pitched
his crop" and ordered his plantation
work under the guidance of this rule,
and found that it served we'll. No
doubt, for that amount of time in adj.
vance, it was quite, as good as any
other rule in ordinary use.-E II. G.,
