Southern Railroads.

A railroad manager, now in Boston
gives the following as the condition OF
the railroads south of the Potomac
Che represented capital OF these roads
is S571, 100000 Twenty millions OF
this capital are paying dividends and
only ten millions earning dividends,
the other ten millions being In roads
leased to other corporations, which, in
consequence, are obliged to pass their
own dividends. Three-fourths Of ali
the stock and bonds of these roads have
been sunk, and the roads are virtually
bankrupt. The main cause of this, ae-
cording to the same authority, is reck-
less competition. The price of all
transportation has been reduced to cost,
and as these roads intersect almost the
entire agricultural district, this reduc-
ton has not increased the business. A
convention is soon TO be called for the
J urpose OF adopting measures to put a
stop to this competition.

Improvement of the Fast Mail Service,

From Saturdays New York Tribune.
The fast mail train has had the usual
experience most good things suffer
while they are new. So much was ex-
pected of 1t that ii was overloaded with
work at the outset, and every trivial
lapse was exaggerated into all utter
breakdown. Then it had for critics q
multitude of newspapers which unwiseiy
considered it hostile to their interests,
and watched for every chance to say
an unkind word of it. But in the face
OF all difficulties it has gradually been
getting into excellent working order.
We hear fewer and fewer complaints
every day from subscribers and the in
terror is rapidly becoming accustomed
to consider the old luxury of New York
morning papers present necessity.
There is a hope that the operations Of
the system may be rapidly extended
southwark as far as Washington, and
there can be little doubt that, If our i'm
patient people will only wait for this
germ to develop itself, we shall soon
have a general quickening of not less
than twenty five per cent in the mail
service between distant important points
everywhere throughout the country.

Whistling.an Indication of Character

An old farmer once said to US that he
would not have hired man on his farm
who did not habitually whistle. He al
ways hired whistlers. Said he never
knew a whistling laborer to find fault
with his food, his bed, or complain of
any little extra work he was asked to
perform. Such a man was generally
kind to children and to animals in his
care. He would whistle chilled lamb
into warmth and life, he would bring in
his hat full of eggs from the barn with
out breaking one of them. He found
such man more careful about closing
gates, putting up bars and seeing that
the nuts on his pillow were all properly
frightened before he took it into the
field. He never knew a whistling hired
man to kick or beat cow, or drive her
on the run into stable. He had no.
ticed that the sheep he fed in the
yard and shed gathered around him
as he whistled, without fear. He had
never employed d whistler who was not
thoughtful and economical. That this
farmers philosophy is generally correct
is true. A cheerful, hopeful, buoyant
man is sure to get through this life
more smoothly and with less friction
than one OF those chaps with acute an
giles and rasp-like sides to their charac-
ters. A cheerful family on farm is
more likely to be a prosperous one than
one that Is composed of glum and
growing individuals, who are forever
finding fault and turning even prosper
ity and success into complaint. Men
and women who are employed to assist
in farm labor will work cheaper and
more zealously with family who Guilt
vate q cheerful spirit: enjoy innocent
fun and, wakes the echoes all over the
farm and in the house, morning to
night, with jollity and good cheer. The
merchant will deal more literally with
keen, wide-awake, jolly farmer, than
with long and sour faced grumbler.
This is no trivial matter. 1t enters into
business al integer, just as sunshine
makes crops.-RaIrat NeaU Yorker.

Playing Seyen-Up for a Baby.
From the Council Bluffs Globe.


We have it from good authority that
near this city few days ago, a game
of "seven-up was played, little girl
of five summers being the prize. The
father had played and lost everything
he had, and while under the influence
of liquor proposed to put up his little
girl against certain amount of money.
The proposition was at once accepted
ind the game began. At the last hand
the game stood-father 5; opponent 2.
In the deal the father received the fol-
lowing trumps King, ten, seven and
tray. His opponent received ace. Jack,
four and deuce.
The father begged and was given
one, which made him within one of
going out Confidently believing that
the game was his, lie threw down the
king and tray, exclaiming, "Can you
beat that for high or low? His OPP
ponent replied that he could beat both,
and showed his hand, and claimed high,
low, jack and the game. The claim
was denied, the father hoping that he
could take the game himself. The
game went on, resulting in the success
of his opponent, who secured the game
by two points.
The winner still Las the child. and
states that he intends keeping it unless
the father uses the law to regain his
loss. She is in good hands, much bet
ter than those of her father, who is a
widower, and man of dissolute habits,
although the possessor of a kindly heart
when not under the influence of liquor.

Harvest. !. |.

Harvest.
With throbbing heart aud fearful eye
/ watched the Springtime feeting by.
I saw the snowdrop at it's birth
Felled, by spears of rain, to can't.
The iris burst her emerald sheath,
And show the amethyst beneath.
The painted tulip fade and close
Before the glory Of the rose;
And now, down fields of sunburnt grass
see the whitening rose leaves pass;
And, night by night, and day by day,
The life of Summer Gibbs away.
I see the granaries overflow,
The mellowing orchards bending low.
0 God! my heart in awe and fear,
Looks back upon Thy perfect year.
Thy bounty covers all the lands;
[ lift in prayer my empty hands.
OF. all the Summer of my life
My harvest is but sin and strife.
Oh! could these tears, like April rain,
Make moist my hearts hard soil again.
And stir the seeds which Thou didst SOW.
Oh never should they cease to flow.
Could prayer but melt this ice away,
Oh! never would cease to pray.
Till Thou in mercy, Lord didst bring
Into my soul q second Spring.
Oh thou what rich reward and sweet
To lay its harvest at Thy feet!
Good Woras.

4 Marvellous Snake Story.
The Paducah. Kv.. Tribune saws,

IHo TauUCNn, Ky, ITlHuHe says.
We heard lady relate last night
quite remarkable snake story.
It took place in Lyon county some
years ago. An oak tree two and half
feet through, was cut down to make
rails. The first cut was split open, and
about fifteen feet from the ground, in
the middle of the tree, an open space
was found, and in this space lay a
snake of dark color. It was taken
out and lain in the sun, when it moved
about some, but soon died. The tree
was thirty or forty years old. There
was no Indication of there ever having
been hole for it to have crawled into
the tree, and the mystery is how it got
in there, as the tree was perfectly
sound

the saving power of grace. After Tom
had been travelling on the road to
Heaven for about three weeks his turn

sOn Sunday last mouse made its APP
pearance in the First Presbyterian
Church of this village during the hour
of morning service, and by his antics
and mischevious pranks endeavored to
emulate the action of the Pennsylvania
imps of darkness. He ran along the
tops of peWs, sprang on the shoulders
of nervous ladies, old and young, scam
pered over their clothing, ran up gen
tlemen's coat sleeves, and succeeded in
causing connection anything but
favorable to the reception of religious
truth. Failing to break up the wor-
Shipping assembly, he hastily retired to
the shelter of a friendly hole in time to
save his pelt.

A Colony of Madmen.

The town of Gheel, situated in the
province of Antwerp, has been for six
centuries an abode of madmen, and ira
ditien even takes the story back eleven
centuries. There are II, 900 people in
the place, and they have charge of /,
300 lunatics from abroad, who are
boarded around in the families, and
treated with great consideration. The
| children from youth are familiarized
| with the business, and all the people
know how to manage those committed
| to their care. The inhabitants are all,
SO to speak, engaged in the surveillance
of the lunatics. One of. the great
est social punishments that can be in
| ficted on a family is to declare that it
| is unfit TO receive such boarders The
lunatics are disposed of among the in
habltants according to their wealth or
stations, wealthy patients being sent
| into rich families, and poor ones to the
poorer. Of course, the very immoral
or dangerous lunatics are not thus dis
posed of. The cures average from sixty
to seventy-five to the hundred. Gheel
is divided into four districts, each with
its overseer and physician. Large sums
OF money are spent by the patients, and
families generally are always DESTROYS
of having one or more lunatics on their
| hands.
Stopped too Soon.
About two years ago two young men
had between them about $4O0, the
savings of long spell of work. They
were offered q half interest Ia a gold
mine at Central City, Col, if they would
sink it thirty feet deeper. Upon each
side were the ''Veto" and other paying
lodes, but these had good roads to the
mills and furnaces of wealthy compa-
MES. Moreover, the mine was difficult
of access; it was necessary to carry the
ore in gunny sacks for considerable
distance, then to pack it upon mules,
and thus by the time it reached the
mills the gold In it would not pay ex.
penses. The young workers when they
had spent all their money became dis.
couraged and abandoned their contract
| This year two new spectators came
and undertook to go on with the work
upon the same terms. They had not
sunk more than two feet in this aban
doned claim when they struck ore worth
900 per ton. The feelings of their
unfortunate predecessors may be
| imagined.
