other stymuiants. Children should not
be allowed to touch either during their
period of growth. We are sorry to say
that more coffee is used in the United
States per capita than in any other coun-
try in the world; and we think it will
account for the attenuated frames, shat

great many of our people. We know
that our temperance friends will not

RAISING THE RATES.

A meeting of the general freight agents Of
eastern railway lines was held in this city yes
terday afternoon to consider the ACCESSIBILITY Of
advancing the rates from Chicago to New
York and other eastern points. There were
present representatives, of the Michigan Central,
lake Shore and Michigan Southern, Pittsburg,
Fort Wayne and Chicago, Baltimore and Ohio,
and Pittsburg, Cincinnati and st. Louis rail-
roads. A proposition was made to immediate
" advance the rate on fourth-class freight
from 80 to IS cents per 100 pounds on mer-
chAndise to New York, and . proportionate in
crease of the rates to Boston, Philadelphia, and
Baltimore. The proposition was defeated, and
