1t is said. are hard. but how much harder for us
to be without the good feeling guaranteed in
every family, and "somctmes little outside
the family" by our failing to remember. as In
former years, at this season our friends.
How many cheerful remembrances have been
occasioned by seeing the fine tile watch, gift
OF some former Christmas, or some article OF
Jewclry, so constantly about the person, or at
the Family Table, pieces OF silver, all telling OF
some happy December 25th
Times may be hard, but can you AFFORD to
loose such golden opportunities to give lasting
remembrances which can be had so cheap, and
of such superior quality at the BEE HIVE

A short time since q case or spurious hodro-
Phobia was reported in Baltimore. The VIC
tim died, but 1t was believed from the eff
feet Of another disease Aggravated, perhaps,
by dread of hydrophobis. There is similar
case in New York, which is exciting a good deal
OF attention. The victim Is q policeman who
was bitten few weeks since, and who exhibits
many Of the symptoms of genuine hydrophobis.
The man himself does not beiieYe he has the
disease, and the physicians concur in his view.
At last accounts he Was somewhat better and
his recovery was regarded as certain. These
simulated cases Of hydrophobis will furnish
erumh Of comfort to the medical men who ar
que that the disease is a purely imaginary one,
induced solely by fear. The weight OF proof,
however, Is in the other direction. Children
too youBg 10 be troubled with fear of imaginary
results Of dog bites have bydrophobia. Persons
who have been bitten ard forgotten the circum-
stance altogether have been suddenly stricken
down with the disease. There are thousands
OF such cases on record, and they are quite suf-
neient TO disprove the mimicry theory. That
there have OF late been several cases of spu-
Tious hydroPhobia there can De no doubt, but
that fact does not affect the actually Of the
genuine malahy.

Reference was made in this column YESTERDAY
TO the fact that. with all its immense resources
and wide reputation, the house of A. T. Stew
art & Co. is not able to keep its business up to
proper point without constant and extensive
advertising in the newspapers. The same thing
Is equally true of the two next greatest dry
goods establishments in New York. Biessrs
Lord & Taylor spend annually not less than
s225,OoO for advertising alone, while the books
OF Arnold * Constable show a yearly expendi-
ture OF over $4,000 for the same purpose.
Several OF the large clothing establishments
spend nearly as much, and the leading houses
In many other lines of business pstronize the
newspapers almost as literally. In short, il has
come to be recognized as established fact
that no person can become prominently sue
cessful in any branch of business without sys-
temstic and persistent advertising. Here and
there few houses, favored with large capital
and experienced managers, slowly Accumulate
wealth without publishing their business if
lucky through long series OF years; but very
large fortunes are made rapidly only by adver-
Using largely. Advertisements are as essential
to the development OF business as rain is to the
growing crops. Without rains little something
may be raised, but nothing less than frequent
and eopious showers will insure q first elias,
harvest. Its just 50 with advertising and busi-
ness.

North Carolina and Tennessee hold elections
to-day. In North Carolina the election Is for
Congressmen. members Of the legislature, and
a superintendent OF public instruction, and in
Tennessee for county officers only. In both Of
these states civil rights has been the main sub
ject Of discussion during the canvass. In Ten
nessee recently Hon. Horace Maynard made q
speech. in which he took the ground that the
mixed school feature should be stricken from
the civil rights bill. Many republicans in both
OF the states mentioned take the same vie VS.,
but the eolored voters insist thSr their candi.

Tricks upou Travellers.

The imposition pTacticed on overland trav-
elers in compelling a change OF cars and re-
checking OF baggage at Council Bluffs and
sgsin at Omaha, a point less than three miles
distant, and at considerable expense of time
and money, in addition to the inconvenience, is
referred to and denounced in fitting terms by
an editorial correspondent of the Chronicle. in
yesterdays issue of that paper. THE STAR has
more than once commented upon this gross out
rage, which ought to have been broken up long
sgo, and we are glad to see that it is receiving
the attention il deserves at the hands of our
contemporar es.
The theory upon which this wrong upon the
public Is perpetuated is a pretsnce that the
terminus Of the Union Pacific railroad is on the
western and not on the eastern bank of the Mis-
eouri river, and that the bridge and track over
that stream between the cities of Council Bluffs
and Omaha are not part of the main line but
the property of a separate organization, calling
itself, IL ne remember rightly, the Missouri
Transfer company. Under this plea passengers
are compelled, under all sorts of discomforts, to
change cars and recheck baggage between the
two points named, while an extra charge of fif-
ty cents for each person and seven dollars for
each freight car passing over tbs bridge is
exacted. The truth is, however, that the bridge
was built by one of the corrupt rings inside the
management Of the Union Pacific road, with
the money or land subsidy granted to that cor
porstion by the government, and the trans
parent trick Of treating it as the property of
another concern Is a mere device to rob the
public, without the slightest regard to law or
justice.
1t has been within the power OF the govern
ment to have absted this swindIing nuisance at
any time since its Inauguration, by settling the
question Of terminus, but so far, we believe, no
steps have been taken looking to that end. That
nothing has been done in that direction argues
either that those charged with protecting public
interests care very little for the rights of the
people, or that a subsidized railway company is
too powerful an adversary to grapple with.
Possibly both.
