Rapid Transit.
New York News.1

When George Stephenson first preached
to the world his idea of hauling carriages
by steam on tramway, be was derided
as an impracticable visionary; and even
when he had. after battling manfully and
almost single-hsnded with overwhelming
discourageEents, succeeded in christening
sufficient amount Of sympathy and ma
terial aid to enable hitS 10 make practi-
cable experiment of his project, his warm
est supporters started back incredulously
at the bold announcement that he would
take them along on the experiment trip
at the rate oftwelve miles an hour. One
of them, an eminent bsrrister, besonght
him not to talk Of twelve miles an hour,
as it would kill the whole thing. No one
would believe it possible He was told
that his old friends would desert him as
lunatic if he did not modify his assertions
to seven miles. But he refused to make
the modification. and after everything
was got ready, he actually whisked the
party over the track at the rate Of thirty
five miles per hour. 1t was a greater
triumph than Stephenson had promised.
There was no longer any place for incre-
dulity, and today We see in every part.of
the globe where civilization has penetra-
ted, the splendid results of this expert
ment There are still Geo. Stephensons
in the world, and men are still incredu-
lous. They move the limit Of their faith
forward Just as far as the evidence Of their
senses goes. Generally, people do not
calculate beyond the capacity Of material
endurance. And if power can be multi
piled indefinitely, when used for propul-
sion, the rate Of steam that may be OBJ
tanned as indefinite, or limited only by
the capacity of the material, of construc-
ton for endurance. The range Of the ex.
pediency, too, is steadily widening What
was once considered eminently perilous,
ii now performed with perfect safety,
leaving out the results of culpable care
lessness,o or CASUALTIES from foreign causes.
Many would scount the idea of making
the trip Between Ne- York and San
Francisco by rail in lees than tuenty-fohr
hours; yet it is possible, and some now
born into the world may live TO see it ac-
complished. Those who are skeptical on
the subject would do well to visit the
rooms of Mr.. Jesse Frye, NJ. E. No. 800
West Twenty-sixth street and see-not a
written theory. not a mere picture Of I'M
tried mechanical combinations. but a
working model, which illustrates far
more advanced idea of rapid transit than
any that has been exhibited, on scale

sufficient for a demonstration. 1t is

thing more about our little town and its
surroundings. In our last, we omitted
stating that we had situated in our town

But think you presume
When only this poor boon ask

'Tis such as you-the rich and strong,

Could give the weak lift along,
And help them up the hill.
Tut no you jOstle, crowd and drive!

You are the only man alive
In want of elbOw-rOom!
But thus it is on Life's round path

Up Heart, and push along!
Your skin will soon grow rough with knocks
Your limbs with labor strongi
And there's . hand unseen to aid
A star to light the gloom
Up Heart, my boy! nor be afraid
Strike out for elbow-room
And when you see, amid the throng,
A fellou-toiler slip,
Just give him, as you pass along,
A brave and kindly grip!
Let noble deeds, though poor you be,
Your path in life illume;
And, with true Christian charity,
Give others elbow-room.

fessed TO make Il specially of such Gu

at once proposed to cure the wife for
fifty dollars. Under the treatment of
this lmrositor the poor woman en-
dured the most terrible agony, grad
ually sinking under his horrible prac-
tice until death came TO her relies
Upon being examined before the Coro.
nors jury this doctor (?) testified that
that he had never studied medicine |;
had been bred farmer, and knew
nothing mt all about cancer or any
other disease. His treatment consist
ed in the application of plaster, or
salve, by which he claimed to "draw
the cancer out.n He did not even
know the names of the herbs used, and
was totally unacquainted either with
their use or virtues. Such cases rs this
are only too common among US; and
yet so fond are the general public OF

flourish where the regular practitioner
