THE American Railway Master Me-
chanic Association have taken steps to
lessen the frequency of railroad accidents, by
setting on foot inquiries in regard to the use
of brakes and the construction oflocomotives.
Circulars are to be sent to all railroads. asking
for description of the continuous brakes in
use, the cost of their maintenance and re-
pair, accidents caused by their failure to act
at critical times, and their effect on car wheels
as compared with the hand brake. Informa-
tion is also asked about the improvements in
boilers and water boxes in locomotives, the
use of spark arresters and smoke consumers,
&c. These last pertain rather to the comfort
than to the safety of travellers, but are not
the less of public interest. From the data
collected it is thought that conclusions OF
great benefit to the managers of railroads
may be drawn.

In response to query from the Cincinnati
Gazette as to the position OF the Democracy
ON the currency question, the New Yor1
Commercial Adeertiser opines that it is much
like that of man who has got astraddle OF
tight rope, and isn't at all particular on which
side he gets off, so long as he gets off safely.
Steam, like Dryden's plough-boy, "whis:hs
for want OF thought" 1t pretends to have
thought behind it, but if there was one in the
mind of the man who lets loose this screech-
demon, he would surely pause before he
poured out so much hot and vaporoas misery.

Hrs. TiltOn and Anna Dickinson

The Eli Perkins who attempts to pass for a
wit, sends the following to the New York Sun
from Saratoga:
One day last December, while in conversa-
ton with Anna Dickinson, the Beecher-Titon
scandal came up. 1t seems that every one of
the strong minded women have been discus
sing the question for two years. The week be-
fore Miss Dickinson mad spent day with Mrs.
Elton When / asked her what she thought
of Mrs. Tilton, Miss Dickinson said
Mrs. Tilton is queer woman. 1 do not
know what to make of her. She changes like
kaleidoscope; you cannot depend on her word
for twelve hours. She will state a thing one
moment and deny it the next.
"How?" / asked.
'Wby, for instance" replied Miss Dckin-
son, "the other night Mrs. Tilton took me in
her room and told meethe most woefal stories
about TbeodoreS treatment of her. She said
her husband didn't love her, didn't support her.
was cruel and abusive to her, and she wished
she had divorce, and the very next morn
ing" continued Miss Dickinson, 81 received a
letter from Elizabeth contradic.ing flatly all
she had sald the night before. This is the let
ter:
MY Dear Anna: am afraid you may have
gotten the impression last night from some
thing said that my love for Theodore has
grown cold. If conveyed the impression to
you that Theodore was not the most gentle and
loving of husbands, / wish to retract it. and
said, or not to interpret it that do not love my
husband and he me. We are devoted to each
other. Affectionalely yours.
ELIZABETH"
"What do you think of this etter?' asked
Miss Dickinson.
''Why, think Elizabeth in petulant mood
told Theodore what she had said to me, and
that Theodore made her sit down and contra
dict the truth in this note.''
The incident WILL perhaps, shed some light
on the changeable character of all Mrs Tilton's
letters and sayings.
The same correspondent writes as follows in
regard to Miss Susan b. Anthony: At one time
/ was spending an evening at her rooms on
East Twenty third street. Mrs. Harriet Beech
er Stowe, Mrs. Hooker, Mrs. Stanton, Miss
Pauline Wright DAVIS and others were present.

The Pennsylvania state government ap-
rears to have done wise thing in requiring
the publication of detailed reports of the as
sets of the different insurance companies of
the state. The reports are minute in detail,
showing just how much capital is and is not
paid up, stating the aggregate liabilities for
losses unadjasted, and debts unpaid and par
ticularizing the assets, giving par and market
values. They are made under the new insur-
ance law of 1873, and give the first really full,

THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH IN ENGLAND.-A
Parliamentary return for the year 1873 shows
that the deficiency Of the revenue from the
postal telegraph was e2SS.007. 1t seems that
the government paid more than fair value for
the lines bought up, and the system has been
conducted with a continual loss. A singular
fact iE connection with the conduct of it is that
the managers, not wishing to call on the House
of Commons to make good successive de-
ficiencies, had quietly, and without any legal
warrant for doing it, converted to the postal
telegraph department 100000 held by the Post
Office savings bank as the property of an army
of small depositors. This became known in
1872 and had to be acknowledged by the Glad
stone government, which was obliged to restore

Nor to be outdone in the originality of
methods of warfare the women of Fort
Wayne, Indiana, have invented peculiar
manner of inflcting bodily injuries, known
as ''gouglng with parasols." 1. is said to be
very effective in the hands of a muscular
woman. The point Of the parasol is inserted
in the corner of the eye, an expert turn given
to the wrist, and the eye-ball drops out.
Sometimes, by way Of variety, the handle OF
the weapon is inserted in the back-hair OF the
enemy, and peculiarly vicious turn given,
productive Of astounding and ear-splitting
results. The amusement is said to be very
popular with the women of Fort Wayne, and
was tried WITH wonderful success on a certain
day last week. One remarkably vigorous
and agile amazon came out OF the conflict
with whole pocketful of eyes, which she
proceeded to string to her chdteloine, after
the manner of the onions sometimes seen in
the grocery shops.
