He has not been out of the house since l'a'

A Splendid Railroad Car,

~ railroad gentleman OF Reading has
just returned from jersey City where he
went to inspect magnificent car of new
and somewhat novel design which has just
been completed in that city. 1t is called a
tourist car, and will work in most conve-
nientlv tor the use of the directors and ex-
cursion parties.
The car is tifty-six feet in length and
nine feet six inches in width, with round
corners and platform. The first room is
the reception room, which is seventeen feet
in length. Ibis is furnished in a most
sumptuous style with revolving chairs,
lounges, tables &c., and finished in birds
eye maple panels with black walnut trim
mings; the roof being tastefully painted
Adjoining thi. room is bridal chamber,
finished in similar manner, ,and furnished
with wash basins, closets and wardrobe.
On the opposite side of the car are the
gentlemen's apartments, which are also
finished in similar manner. the panels
being finished in birds eye maple, with
cedar and walnut trimmings, all of which
are of American wood. Connecting with
this apartment is the sleeping room, which
is thirteen feet long, and contains berths
sufficient to accommodate sixteen persons.
By day the berths are rolled up and
fastened at a convenient distance above the
heads Of the passengers TO the sides of the
car, which, when in position, presents so
neat and attractive an appearance that
no one would for a moment suspect what
they were, but would rather give the i'm
preston that they were placed there for
ornament rather than use. This room is
also finished like the others, and is fur
nlshed with lounges and chairs; also an ex-
tention table for dining purposes.
The kitchen adjoins this room, and
more perfect arrangement could not be we'll
conceived of. 1t is furnished with range
complete, ice boxes, cupboards for GRO kerry
and l,nen,the whole being arranged in reg
ular hrst-class style. 1t contains also
pantry and two commodious berths for the
cook and porter. This apartment is finish
ed equal to frst-class family railway
coach. The panels being of oak with black
walnut trimmings, and finished in the f.
nest manner, and all the different apart
ments are furnished with beautiful chande-
llers, and carpeted with the finest Brussels
tapestry, with the exception of the kitchen
which was of oil cloth.
In each room, and to each berth, are
electric bells connected with the kitchen.
by which the porter can be called at any
time, day or night. The tanks for supply
ing the car with water are arranged on ton
and are filled at the watering stations in
the same manner as the locomotive, so that
no water is'a'i.n through the car The
water pressure is $50 pounds, and the tanks
are so arranged that close observer would
NOT notice them from the outside

most perfect, and not the slightest detail an.
pears to have been overlooked. The run.

ENTERPRIsE AND SUCCESS.

We ask attention, to the fact, that the
HERALD of yesterday morning, contained
several items of Philadelphia news, missed
by all the Journals Of that city save the
wide-awake Times. The very interesting in
terview of our Philadelphia reporter, with
Mr.. Moody, was the subject Of commenda-
BILE comment in this city yesterday. There
never was a paper published in Whining
ton, which gave such complete resume Of
the doings Of the day previous in the city,
State, and county generally, as the HERALD
presented to its readers yesterday. The
evening papers are now but little better
than partial republication Of the HER
AID; as we leave nothing ungatEered, in
the way of news. This accounts for the
daily increase of our circulation, which is
now larger in this city, than that of any Of
our neighbors. In the early morning,
in almost every store and office,
one sees the HERALD in the hands Of
readers: the same can safely be
said of the passengers in the street cars,
and in the trains the HERALD is to be
found with nearly every passenger. Busi-
ness men who are anxious to reach the
public, cannot fail to see the vast ad-
vantage the..HERALD..has, as medium of
Advertising, over any of its cotemporaries

In the Court Room.

A correspondent, writing of the
 0eecher-Tilton trial, says: Mrs. Hilton
 entered the courtroom and came into
 Mir. TIton's presence for the first time since last July. A lady friend, Mrs. Anna
 M. Field, of Hicks street, MT. Field, and Judge Nathan B. Morse, the second hus-
 band of Mrs. Tilton's mother, were of the party. Small, slight, aud plainly dressed in black, Mrs. Hilton was lost in the crowd. When it parted she was seated, seperated from MT. Beecher by a low table, on whose upper edge her hl1s-
 band had laid his arm and was resting his head. Looking past MT. Beecher, the jury had her face ill full view. The scandal has lasted long enough, and has had full enough situations of trying pup- licity to give all. concerned tolerably steady nerves but no one yet has begun to show the rare self-command Mrs. Til ton showed. There were passages when MT. Beecher's face flushed uneasily; a sentence or two ill one of his letters, as read by MT. Morris, drove from Mrs. Beecher's face the bitter smile with which she listens to the plaintiffs coun- sel, and replaced it by look of positive concern. But no line drew from Mrs. Hilton any sign. As she had seated her self, MT. Beecher had nodded, with the quick look that lights his face in and Mrs. Beecher joined him in the greeting, while Mrs. Tilton's face answered with 8 smile. Mrs. Beecher left her husband when the re- cess began, and, stepping to Mrs. Til tons side, warmly greeted her, Mrs. Til ton rising and shaking hands, but with the same sober face she had worn all the

Beecler i'm Court.

A New York correspondent writes as
 follows of the appearance of Henry
 Ward Beecher in court:
 At five minutes past eleven there was q
 sensation in court. A noise was heard at the door and Q whisper ran through the room. moment afterward the long,
 gray hair and full, ruddy face of Henry
 Ward Beecher was seen. He stopped and turned i'll the doorway as if to lead ill another person. Everybody arose to his feet in anticipation of, it was hardly possible to say what. The person that MT. Beecher led in was his wife, the only
 woman not witness that could under any circumstances gain adnlittance. Her silky white hair showed under bonnet
 of rich black material. Her black veil was raised. Both she and her husband were smiling, and greeted counsel and other friends pleasantly and heartily. MT. Tilton cast Il momentary glance toward them, and then directed his gaze elsewhere. MT. Moulton regarded them steadily but unobstrIlsively for a longer time. MT. and Mrs. Beecher sat near the head of the long counsel table, and MT. Henry B. Beecher sat to the left of his mother. Every eye was fixed on them. Soon afterward ex-Judge Morris was delivering his opening address; his voice often tremb,ed with emotion. There was a twitching sensation about MT. Tilton's eyelids, but otherwise he preserved the calmness of his features. Mr. Beecher, during some of the scathing denunciations that ensued, held his face toward the floor It was flushed, but otherwise did not express emotion. Mrs. Beecher sat steadily looking at the speaker. Her face was cast down, and her eyes directed upward under her sharply cut brows, giving hey peculiar aspect, suggestive of mingled anger and watchfulness. The corners of her mouth were drawn down, and added to the sternness of her expression. Once when the speaker stated that his client could not, of course, produce direct evidence to prove his charges, Mrs. Beecher turned toward her husband with smile, q ut soon resumed her look of bitterness.

Protecting Trees from Mice.

Since the sad havoc made by mice in our apple and pear orchards several years ago, we have adopted the plan of placing around each tree covering of tarred paper late in the autumn. This has proved entirely successful, and as it costs but little for material or labor, we venture to recommend it. The cylinder of paper should be brought close to the ground, and extend high enough to pro- tect the tree for a foot or more above, and the cord holding it in place should be securely tied without loop knot. Trees that are liable to be covered by deep snows must be protected for more than one foot, as we have had trees from which the bark was gnawed three feet above the ground, not only the trunk being den1lded, but many of the limbs. Mice attack almost every kind of bush, shrub, and tree. The bitter barks of the peach and cherry appear to be fully as acceptable as those of the pear or plum. Where mice prevail, it will not do to depend upon any of the usual eXpedients, such as banking trec with earth or manure, or treading down the snow ill winter. Reliance upon these has cost us more than 100 of our choicest fruit trees. The tarred paper coverings must be renewed fresh each year, as tRey become so tender or brittle that they cannot well be used 8 second lime

Suicides.

The disposition to commit suicide
 seems to be growing one of this coun-
 try, the Louisville Journal says. Our
 columns contained an elaborate account
 tho other day of the striking and sad
 case of Colonel Anderson, in Atlanta :;
 then of Presbyterian minister in Wash
 ington, and for the past month there has
 not been single day in which the tele-
 graph has not made one or more addi-
 tlons to the list. A correspondent,
 writing from Indianapolis to the Cincin-
 natl CO77anaerci0l, mentions large num-
 Der that have occurred in that city :; some of them, apparently, being without provocatlon. Two men who were we'll to-do in the world terminated their existence to avoid the payment of taxes. They seem to have thought it time to square the account with one government and to open 8 new one with another,
 under the conviction, doubtless, that the worst government on the other side of death was an improv ement upon :' the best the world ever saw.' What is singular, there was but one bachelor among the number, while the names of several unmarried girls appear. The statistics of New York show a large in crease in that city also, and if we keep on in this way we will rival the old Romans in our readiness to face the dis advantages and t.angers of another world in preference to enduring the cares and disappointments of this. It was an easy thing for heathen, ignorant of the re- responsibilities of our Christian life, to plunge into t' the yellow Tiber,'' and bury his grief beneath the tr1rbid flood. But even had not heaven "fixed it's canon 'gainst self-slaughter it is diff cult to understand how a sane being would wish to make an untimely plunge into the dark unknown, however un- comfortable might be his situation here. The trivial cause assigned by the Indian apolis correspondent for most of the cases in that city is what is most sr1pris- ing, and we may next expect an intro duction of the Oriental custom of cutting ones throat upon the premises of an un- kind neighbor to give him the entertain ment of an arraignment and trial for murder.

A Minister Offended,

MT. Monroe, the Minister to England, writes Jesse Fremont, was justI y of tended to find himself, at the State din ner given to the diplomatic corps, placed at the foot of the table, between two Envoys from German municipalities. This made him angry and abstracted, and when the first health was drank and all rose, he in nsitting down, did not notice where he placed his wine glass, but brought it down into his finger bowl, splashing his neighbor, who thereupon was civilly insulting.
 MT. Monroe had not time for wrath. for the Russian Minister rising, all rose to follow his toast. It was "a health and welcome to our new confrere, the Minister from the United States of America, and to his ruler and his coun- try. Whether this was already C pared, or was the gracious inspiration o4 the moment, was the secret of the old diplomat. But he must have had a new sensation, when Mr. Monroe in his thanks to him after dinner, went on to say that "James Monroe did not care where he sat at table," but {" for the minister of such country as I repre- sent, to be put down at the foot, be- tween two little principalities no bigger than any farm in Aibemarle I was blind with anger; but I shall make no apology for splashing his laced coat"

Recovering. a Picture.

A few months ago the most important figure in Murillo's picture, "The Ap- pearance of the Infant Christ to St. An thony of Padua," in the Cathedral of Seville-the Saint in an ecstatic posture was cut from the canvas and carried nobody seemed to know where. On the 2d of January, during the forenoon, two Spaniards, one acting as interpreter, called at New York picture gallery and stated that one of them had valuable oil painting that he wished to sell, and mentioned Murillo as the artist. The proprietor felt great interest, while he looked at the picture, and requested the men to call on Monday, bringing 1t back with them. The men left, promising to call, which they did, and the proprietor, who had suspected it was the stolen pie ture, found his suspicious were true. The picture was tackled by the edge to plain strainer, though it looked as if 1t had been rolled for somo time. Much of the paint from the head, face and eyes of the Saint had peeled of, and in fact, the picture was much damaged. It will require the most skilful retouching to restore it to anything like it's former beauty. The man did not wish to name a price, and requested the proprietor to do this, and the picture was left for few days, The proprietor then hastened to the Spanish Consulate, where he com municated the discovery to the Consul, who was greatly pleased at it. The Consul and MT. Sidney Webster called to see the picture, and both were satis- fled that it was the stolen one so highly valued The arrangements for it's pur- chace were made, and $250 was paid for it. It has been sent back to Spain.

A Modern Gineyra,

A foreign town has recently been the scene of sad event, very similar to that of the Mistletoe Rough. A gentleman by the name of Kelk, cashier to ;l building firm there, had recently got married. He gave party at his house. His young wife, in her anxiety to get out of the hot air, ventured up stairs, and seeing small closet with ventilator, she entered to fasten it, when the cur rent of air closed the door. In vain she called to the servants, although she could hear the door-bell ringing and the visitors enter, and as none suspected that the imprisoned lady was in the roof of the house, all the other parts of the dwelling and grounds were searched. When at last found, Mrs. Kell was seri- ously ill and hysterical. Violent epi1ep tic fits followed, and the shock being more than the nervous system could slls- tain, death shortly put an end to her sui ferirgs.

Acids and AIkalies for Headaches.

Dr. Lauder Brunton, in paper pub hshed in the Practitioner, states that the administration of brisk purgative, or small doses of Epson salts, thrice day, is most effectual remedy for frontal headache when combined with constipa- tion; but if the bowels be regular, the morbid processes on which it depends seem to be checked and the headache removed even more effectually by nitro hydrochloric acid or by alkalies, given before meals. If the headache be inn mediately above the eyebrows, the acid is best; but if it be little hi gher up, just where the hair begins, the alkalies appear to be the more serviceable. At the { me time the headache is removed, the feelings of sleepiness and weariness, which frequently lead the patients to complain that they rise up more tired then they lie down, gea6rally disappear. Dr. Brunton's long and careful investi- gations in this direction render the re- suits of his researches of peculiar in- tavnSt
