The Wisconsin railroads are obeying the Potter law on the principle that the Dutchman's wife became reconciIed to untimely death. '"Mein Gott, she had to be!' The injunction of their Supreme court leaves them no option. Still it will not do for the people to crowd down railroad fares and freights below the iv- ing point. The main thing to be impress ed on the companies by what is termed
 hostile" legislation is the fact that the interest of the public must be regarded as well as the interests of stockholders

An English ship-builder is about making an experiment that promises to do away, to a certain extent at least, with the nui- sance of sea sickness. The plan is simply the hanging saloon, 75 feet long 35 wide and 20 feet high, in the center of the ves- sel, in such way as will allow it to keep its level notwithstanding the motion of the ship. It seems hardly possible that such an arrangement could avoid the violent motion of storm, but if the unlucky passenger care only keep his level in mod. crate weather it will be Q relief that all who have ever been ''rocked in the cradle of the deep" will appreciate.

The contest in the French department of Maine ct Loire has resulted in favor of republicanism. At the first vote, there were three candidates, Republican, a Napoleonist and a supporter of the Nc Mahon ''septennat." The republicans had more votes than any other, but not a majority. Before the second vote the Bonapartist withdrew and the government candidate was easily beaten by the repub- hcan. The victory is a very significant one and shows how thoroughly republi- can in feeling France has become.

 BEST ORGANS FOR EASY PAYMENTS. The new scheme of easy payments for Cabinet Organs. offered by the well-known Mason

If 1t does not prove satisfactory, or | the party taking 1t gets tired of it, he may l return it after six months, having paid ! nothing more than the rent of it. 5. If he concludes to purchase and pays for 1t Ill the course of year, the whole cost to him is but five to ten per cent. more than if all cash had been paid. Dealers say this will ruin the business of organ selling, as they cannot afford to compete with such terms The Mason X Hamlin Co. know so we'll the quality of their organs, and that scarcely any will be returned to them, that they believe they can afford such terms. Circulars can be obtained with full particulars by writ ing to the Company for them to Boston, New York, or Chicago.

Make Haste Slowly.

1t is not at all wholesome to be in a
hurry. Locomotives have been re-
ported to have moved a mile in a
minute for short distances. But loco
motives have often come to grief by
such great rapidity. Multitudes in
their haste to get rich are ruined every
year. The men who do everything
maturely, slowly, deliberately, are the
men who oftenest succeed in life.
People who are habitually in hurry,
generally have to do things twice over.
The tortoise beat the hare at last.
Slow men seldom knock thar brains
out against post. Foot races are in
furious to health, as are all forms of
competitive exercises steady labor In
the field is the best gymnasium in the
world. Either labor or exercise, carried
to exhaustion, or prostration, or even
to great tiredness, expressed by Gagged
out" always does more harm than the
previous exercise has done good. All
running up stairs, running to catch up
with ferry boat, are extremely iDju-
rious to every age and sex, and condi
ton of life. 1t ought to be the most
pressing necessity which should induce
person over fifty to run twenty yards.
Those live longest who are deliberate,
whose actions are measured, who never
embark in any enterprise without
sleeping over it, and who perform ali
the every day acts of life with calmness.
Quakers are proverbislly calm, quiet
people, and Q1akers are thrifty foil
the world over.

Saving is Wealth.

One great cause of the poverty of the
present day is failure of our common
people to appreciate small things.
They do not realize how daily addi-
ton, be it ever SO small, will soon make
a large pile. If the young men and
young women of to day will only begin,
and begin now, to save a little from
their earnings and plant it in the soil of
some good saving bank, and weekly or
monthly add their mite, they will wear
a happy smile of competence when they
reach middle life. Not only the desire
but ability to increase it will also grow.
Let clerk and tradesman, labOrer and
artisan, make now and ut once begin
ming. Store up some of your 20 lthful
force and vigor for future col tingency.
Let parents teach their children to be-
gin early to save. Begin at the foun-
tain head to control the stream of eX-
travagance-to choose between poverty
and riches. Let your youth go on in
habits of extravaganza for fifty years to
come as they have for fifty years past,
and we shall have nation of beggars,
with mOneyed aristocracy. Let gen
Grafton of such as save in small sums
be reared, and We shall be free from all
want. Do not be ambitious for extrav-
agant fortunes but do seek that which
is the duty of every one to obtain, in
dependence and comfortable home.
Wealth, and enough of it, is within the
reacn of all. 1t is obtained by one pro-
cess, and by one only-saving.
