THE RAILROADS..
saratoga's syndicate The New Freight
Tariff.

sorutoga's Syndicate The New Freight
Tariff.
The resolutions and minutes OF the
recent meeting of railroad men, at Sara
toga, have been taken to Indianapolis
by the secretary and a copy is not to be
obtained. The railroad men state 1t IS
not true that the meeting was called
for the purpose of combining against
the granger or any other interest.
They say that the object was simply the
development Of their respective ROADS
and their abolition of the system OF
underwriting and litigation which mas
proved so expensive to all. The confer
ence will soon be resumed and the bus
mess introduced at the previous meet
ing be brought to a close.
The freight agents report that the
action of the railroad officials has SIM
pliGed their work materially. Hereto
fore there was such competition to pro-.
cure freights, there was no pretense OF
preserving nominal rates. BY n grad
nal process of cutting down, the rates
had been reduced from 20 to Az per
cent, while special rates were made
with large shippers. The following are
the new rates agreed upon. Chicago,
S75 for first class, $40 for second class,
$50 for third class $f5 for fourth class,
!235 for fifth class. indianapolis, 81,

Manners in Iceland.

Manners are simple in Iceland, as in
deed in all the Scandinavian countries
and all the simpler here because there
is really no distinction of ranks. No
body is rich, aud hardly anybody alb
jectly poor everybody has to work for
himself, and works Except to be sure, a
few storekeepers in Reykjavik, and at
one or two spots on the COAST with his
own hands. Wealth would not raise a
man above his fellows, and there are
indeed no means of employing it except
in supplying a house with what would
be thought in England indispensable
comforts. Wealth, therefore, is not
greatly coveted although the Icelander
likes a good bargain, especially in
horsehesh), and an air of cheerful con-
tentment reigns. The farm servant
scarcely differs from the farmer, and
probably, if a steady fellow, ends by
marrying the farmers daughter and get
ting a farm himself. There is no title
of respect, save Herra to the bishop and
SRA to q priest !; not even such a title
Mr.. or Mrs. or Esquire. If you go to
call for a lady You tap at the door and
ask if Injibjorg OF Valerdr is in or if
you wish to give her full name, Iniib-
lord Thorvaldsaottir, or Eiriksdotair,
or Biarnardottir Gas the case may be-
for there is no title of p%oliteness to APP
ply, Her name, borrower, is her own
name, unchanged from birth to death
for as there are no snrnames or fam
lily names among the Icelanders, but
Gully Christian names, there is nc rea-
son for Il wife assuming her husbands
name, and she is Thorvaldsdottir after
her marriage with Gudmundr just as
before, while her children are Gud-
munlsson and Gudmundsdottir. When
such q concession is made to the
rights of women, it is a little suppris,
ing to find that she is. in any other re.
spect treated as an inferior, not usually
sitting down to the table with the mer
of the family, but waiting Oh them and
dining separately. Otherwise, how
ever, women seem sufficiently well off
having full rights of property, and rid
ing vigorously about the country wher
ever thoy will and we could not hei
that there was any movement for the,
emancipation, or indeed for social re
form of any kind, though to be sure
imperfect knowledge of the lanRuag,
restricted our inquiries. In one regard

The SKEPTIoAL CONvINCED.-Every
advance in medicine, every new remedy
has encountered an opposition, which is
the test of truth. Galen and Jenner only
were believed when they had proved
their discoveries against opposition. But
men are observing, and benefits always
make believers. No incredulity can
stand the silent argument of good re-
suits. When DR.. Walker proclaimed
that he had produced from the medicinal
herbs of California an elixir that would
~regenerate the sinking system and cure
diseases not organic, the incredulous
shook their hea 8. Yet his Vinegar
Bltters is now the standard restorative
of the western world. The truth could
not be resisted. Under the operation of
the new remedy, dyspeptics regained
health, appetite and strength, the bill
ions and constipated were relieved of
every distressing symptom the con-
sumptive and rheumatic rapidly recov-
cred intermittent and remittent fevers
were broken up the faint of s~crOfula
was e~radicatedl Who could gainsay
facts like these? Not even the faculty.
Skepticism was routed. All doubts as
to the claims of the Bitters to the first
place in the first rank of modern medi-
cines were silenced, and this wonderful
preparation is to-day the most popular
tonic, Alternative and blood depurent
eve advertised in America. In CON-
mon with other journalists, we are free
to add our testimony to this remedy. 1t
is a domestic medicine, and no house
holI should be without it.

Only Il few families know how to
keep fresh butter sweet and finely fla

they make or purchase it.. Hence with

Jars or crooks wet with strong brine ;
and be sure to keep the brine m inch or

ers and consumers. In the first place
COWS should have plenty OF green fresl
feed like grass, clover, green corn, cow
peas or miIlet, to yield sweet butter. A
steady supply of rich yellow milk il

In the south, corn forage will he our

lard in the shape of pork and bacon

said in his sermon last Sunday, ON tho

months ago the pastor of one of the

celved several anonymous letters from
II lady member OF his church. He
was much exercised over it. He non.
dered long r"d deeply as to what hc
should do n the case. He finally Went

Coop BEEF CHEAPER THAN pooH,-
In market quotations of our western
towns, we find cattle quoted something
like this Good shipping steers, $3.50
to $3.50; butchers stock, &3. 80 to&i 50.
Now why is it that, living as western
people do, where So many cattle are
bred, they should eat 80 much poor
beef? " is h cause such quotations rs
the aboyo Indicate that the poor beef is
cheapest, But this il not true. A we'll
fntted animal, weighing !, 400 to l,GOO
lbs, Of small bone and fine quality, will
give MS more catablo meat for the same
money Mt $3.50 per hundred, than n
thin, GDirsr-bpuel oil COW or steer,
weighing from 900 to | 100 lbs., at &3. 80
to $3.50 per 100. This wns illustrated
not long since by IN investigation made
into the management OF one OF our
western state prisons. II was charged
that the prisoners had better beef than
the people Of the city. This the snper.
intcndeut did not deny, for he said his
purpose had alwnya been to buy tn,
best cattle in the market and we nm.

An eminent German surgeon, DR..
Kuestcr, has been conducting a series
of experiments concerning tho action
of bullets used in modern warfare from
which he has derived several important
results. In the first place he has dis
proved the commonly accepted medico-
legal dogma, "that guuslot wounds
are more extensive in the living body
than in the dead, and thai this altolds n
means of distinguishing whether the
injury has been inflicted during life or
after death :" the character of the
wounds being similar in living and dead
animals with all the arms tried by him,
including the ordinary muzzlo-loading
rifle, with conical ball, the needle-gun.

cumstance that in gunshot wounds from
the more powerful modern rifles the
aperture of entrance IL small while that
Of the exit is Of frightfully large di.
mansions is shown to depend not on the
melting Of the missile, but on the fact
that IA soft lead ball when discharged
from a short distance is broken up on
entering the tissues into n multitude of
small fragments (abont oRe.half of its
substance being thus subdivided) which
act like a charge Of shot, lacerating the
textures in all directions. The extent
Of destruction is " inverse ratio to tho
distance and in direct relation with the
initial velocity Of the bullet" This
mechanical subdivision only occurs in
soft lead bullets, the hard balls used

A soNNANBuLIsT's WALx.

A somnambalistic sensation caused a
autter Of excitement in Tarrytown, N.

About $50 in the morning, Mrs. Ma
vans, the wife Of a well-known mans-

aide.
A. although sixty one years Of age,
be was known to be given to walking

search by the two cons of MIR. havana,
the missing husband was found up to
his neck IN water IN a disused cistern,
and clinging to cross bar for support.
He was very much exhausted and could
not have held out much longer, but re.
vived on being rescued and cared for.
TO get in that precarious situation he
had walked three hundred and ten feet
- ledge of wood but two inches wide,
covering the top of the grape arbor that
ran from the back OF the house to the
barn. Although lie Lad safely accom-.
plished this feat, On reaching the end of
the structure, at which was the cistern,
he had fallen of, and the covering of
she cistern being much decsyed, was
received into the water. The shock of
the fall, combined with GOODNESS of the
