APPEAL TO GOVERNOR TILDEN.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
All honor and praise to the HERALD for its con.
slant appeals and arguments for rapid transit.
For over twenty years we have talked rapid

those who have paid taxes and assessments on
uptown property during that somewhat pro-
tracted period. SIC Transit And again the sea-

and modest manner IN the world 20 suggest that.
as Governor Tilden Is well known TO be in
favor OF rapid transit that some personal
appeal be made to him by prominent citizens to
recommend some action this amportant
matter to the Legislature. A committee of public
spirited citizens ought to go TO Albany and i'm

necessity OF some decisive action ON his part. A

AN ADDING PENCIL la NOVEL DEVICE,

A patent is now pending before the
Commissioner at Washington for IN ad-
ding pencil, which the Scientific Amer
ican pronounces ingenious and useful.
Tho object, says that Journal, is to facil-
itate the labor of accountants in adding
up long columns Of figures. It is a
miniature calculating machine, which
performs it's work with unfailing accur-
acy and without requiring any Thought
on the part OF the operator. other than
that involved in noting that pointer
points to the proper figure TO be added.
In shape it resembles pencil, being
no larger, and as easily manipulated.
The device has o metal case, the low
or portion Of which is provided with o
longitudinal slot, similar to the old
fashioned pencil casos, with each Of
the figures from one to nine marked
upon It's margin. A small pointer
works up and down in this slot operated
one way by pressure with the point Of
the pencil upon the paper, and the
other way by o coiled spring within the
case. The upper portion Of the pencil
is grooyed spirally, and marked with
figures from I to 100, this last number
being considered as large as any con-
venient column Of figures aggregate.
These figures have also pointer, which
is raised by the same pressure, which
rnises the digit pointer.
In adding a column Of figures. the
operator presses the pencil upon the

lower figure in the column until 4 cor
responding number is noted by the
lower or digit pointer. This involves
also the pushing up of the upper point
or to the same figure. The pencil i
then raised, the lower pointer forced
back By the spring to 0, and now
pressed upon the next figure, say SIX
until the lower pointer indicates that
figure, when it will be found that BY
the same action the upper pointer in
dicates eleven--the sum OF t5e two.
and SO on through the column, when
the total is set down. il there be
any number to carry from one column
to another, instead of being set back to
zero, it is adjusted to that number. 60
that that is added in, rs it should be.
with tho next sum. 2iHa ~
There is simply no possibility of error
in the operating, unless the user delib.
erately sets the digit pointer to the
wrong numbsr. A little practice will
enable him to cause that pointer, how
ever, to stop OF the right figure almost
instantly, 90 that the column will be
cast up nearly as quickly as he can touch
the separate figures, and as claimed by
the inventor, much quicker than tho
average arithmetician can perform The
same mentally. Interruption during
the computation is no annoyance, and,
indeed. the motion may proceed almost
mechanically while engaged in con-
versation. Or ha may stop work in the
middle Of column, attend to other
matters, gnd resume it after any period
OF time. So long as the pencil is not
altered in the interval, the results will
be absolutely correct,

OFFENSIVE PEOPLE,

If to be q good man and successful
man is offensive to tho world at large,
to be praised is exasperating. No
greater unkindness can be done TO any
man than to praise him much. People
generally will stand moderate COM
pliment paid to neishbor, while they
are left to qualify it, or to admit it as q
matter Of generosity or courtesy; but
praise persisted in will ruin the reputa-
ton OF anybody. There is nothing
more offensive to the average human
being than persistant laudations be-
slowed upon another. To hear q man
warmly praised is sufficient usually to
make us hate him |; and it is only nec-
essary to have tho praise repeated often
enough to make US desire to shoot him.
Praise is one Of the articles we would
like to have distributed littlo-not
that we want it, but the object Of it is
not the best man--if we know ourselves.
Virtue is good thing, genius is not o
bad thing altogether; but no man is to
be mentioned 90 many as ten times as
having either of them in possession
without making his name stencil and
an offence to the nostrils of o sensitive
world. The true way Of getting along
we'll in the world is not to make ones
self offensive 10 ones friends by excel
lence of character and habits Of life. by
success, or by doing any thing praise
worthy. Let as strike tho average as
nearly as possible. Let US be good
fellows rather than good men, and
CHOKE the first man who dares to ascribe
to us q single virtue. Let US all keep
down and out OF sight. All that we do
for ourselves, and all that We do for
mankind. only fesds hell with slander-
ers, and % betrays tho baseness Of hu-
man natare that wo may well blush to
think that we are members OF the hu-
man racs.--Dr. y. c.. Holland; Serb
nsr for October.

THE PowER OF CORPORATIONS.

The latest statistics shows that we
have in the United States about "a 900
miles OF railway, with o nominal capital
OF "a, 2O0, ,000, 600; their gross receipts
aggregate over $500, ,0OO, 900, amounts
greatly in excess of the government
debt and revenue all this sum is capa-
bic OF being controlled and directed by

armies in operating the various lines OF

press IL controls the Telegraph lines,
has the readiest access to the public ear,
and is the all-powsrful abettor or terri

of our laws ore made in its interest, and
along every line of railway it keeps in
its employ the best legal talent; these
men become our judges, and, having
been educated to view laws relating to
railway matters from railway stand.

In its favor. Members Of the legal pro-

wanting where representatives Of the
people, while holding official positions,

yet immortal wiser than philosophy,
it has found in q perpetual charter she
elexir Of life. When our fathers nbol-
ished tho law of primogeniture, they
supposed the country was secured
against the evils of vast individual
wealth aceumulating from generation
to generation, because the certainty OF
death would bring the certainty OF dis
tribution; but perpetual charter,
granted without consideration has be-
come spindle to twist the gossamer
thread across the chasm Of death. ALI
this vast and constantly-incrsasing
wealth is under irresponsible control.
A corporation can neither be hung nor
sent to the penitentiary that is to say,
there is an entire absence Of individual

ioI iner aiter tnaC. AN army OF JOKES
quite overwhelmed her protestations and
disclainings, and she was thankful to
beat o retreat to the kitchen when the
meal was over. But even there she
was pursued by o laughing trio of the
ladies, harassed with questions and
wonderment and merriment until the
last dish was set away and she had
sliced her hat, with the excuse that she
must go to the village for letters. In
stead OF going to the village, however,
she stole along the hedge, climbed the
wall and ran to the furthest end of the
orchard, where she flung herself on the
ground and cried rs if her heart would
break.
She had, perhaps, cried half an hour
when step crushed the dry grass at
her side, reused her, and the very voice
she most dreaded to hear said:
'I'ye come to return your ring, Miss
Prudence"
Poor little Prudence sat up hastily,
and took tho unfortunate ring with q
faltering, "Thank you;' then immedi-
ately hid her face again. go
"You needn't thank me. I should
have brought it before, but couldn't
find you. I hope you're not troubled
about those ridiculous jokes" he added
dignifedly, -. ''.. .a1.
"N-o," responded Prudence, misera-
bly,, between her sobs; Ell thought
you'd think I did it on purpose"
Glow could I have thought so? It
was more accident my getting that
particular biscuit. TN very sorry YOU
have been so annoyed in this way. I'm
going away tomorrow, Miss Prudence. Z"
The sobs partially coased, and Miss
Prudence said surprisingly, 'sAre your

Prudence said Eyes," unsteadily, but
did not raise her head.
"You will shake hands, won't you.
Miss Prudence
No answer.
"I can't go away while you are Of
Tended with me. Won't you at least
tell me why you are crying?"
because II lost my grandmother
ring" sobbed Prudence, making great
effort for composure.
Mr.. Wentworth laughed in spite of
himself.
"Why it's safe on your finger and not
whit the worse for its baking. Is
there no other reason?"
"N-no."
"But there is. I shall never have
another happy moment if I've offended
you," sail Mr.. Wentworth, tfagically.
81 was brute to treat you as I did this
afternoon; but I'm going away, and
shan't annoy you again. Won't you
forgive me now, and shake hands ?"
Another long silence. Mr.. Went
worth turned away in despair, but was
detained by faltering voice.
"I--I'll forgive you, if"
"Well ?" was the brcathless interpo-
sition. +s4 ,-
"You-won't--go-away."
The moro observant boarders noticed
at breakfast the pext morning that Mr..
Abbot Wentworth wore the ring he had
found in tho biscuit, on the little finger
OF his left hand, and that Prudence
wore heavily chased gold circle in the
place of her lost ornament. To use the
words of ono of the before named board
