A High Old Passenger Conductor.

A FEW days ago a freight conductor on
one of the railroads went to the Superin-
tendent and said he thought he ought to
be advanced, having served on the freight
for several years. The Superintendent
agreed with him, and told him hat the
change should be made the very next
week. And it was made. The Superin-
tendent a day or two after took a seat in the
rear end of one of the coaches to see how
the new conductor would take to the bust
ness, and pretty soon the official danced
into the door, cap on his ear, sleeves
pushed up, and a half-acre smile on his
face.
sect out your pasteboards!" he shout
ed; I'm the high muncky muck that
runs this %train," and then, turning right
and left, he continued:
Fright bowers this way-play lively
pass or order up-how's trumps with you
slide you right into Chicago-hurry
up, there-trump this ace-what kind of
a hand do you hold, old man"
There was something novel and exhila-
rating in his style, but yet the Superin-
tendent called the conductor upstairs the
next day and told him that he was the
best man in America to run a freight
train, and that he should have to promote
him backward. He was too talented
for a passenger conductor.-DetroH Free

A MAN named Niles Taylor, of Smeth-
port, Pa, while driving with a friend,
was forced to jump from the carriage,
owing to the breaking of an axle. He
was unhurt, but he had considerable diff
Guilty in getting the carriage home and
on arriving there he was very tired. Hav-
ing eaten his supper he went to bed, from
which he soon atterward arose in his
sleep and, going to a side door, he sprang
out, falling a distance of eighteen feet.
He was picked up conscious, but his in
juries were fatal. 1t is supposed that he
was dreaming of the accident which had
happened only a short time before, and
while dreaming sprang from his bed and
leaped through the door.

We do not in the least feel like blaming
Macbeth for this expression of disgust; in
deed, We are rather inclined to sympathizc
with him. Even nowadays most. OF the ca
thartics offered to the public are great, re-

of which is sufficient to turn ones stom-
ach.n Had Macbeth ever taken DR.. Picrce's
Pleasant Purgativc Pellets he would not
have uttered those words Of contempt. 1t
is really encouraging, when one is ill, to find
that a little, s~ugar-coatcd Pellet, no larger
than Il grain of mustard, will as promptly
produce the desired effect as a dose of great,
nau>cating pills. These little Pellets, IN.
like other cathIrtiCs, are really natures

A FAMILY arrived yesterday from Mis-
souri,, on their way east, and they laid
around the levee all day in a drunken
condition. The man was drunk, so was
his wife, and, saddest of all, their daugh-
ter, fifteen years of age and quite good
looking, was in the same condition. She
lay with her head against her mothers
shoulder, while the latter gazed idiotically
around, in a hopeless effort to appear
sober. Two pretty little boys, one with a
bright, curly head, who were %innocently
playing about, completed the picture

In the old days there were angels who
came and took men by the hand and led
them away from the city of destruction.
We see no white-winged angels now But
yet men are led away from threatening de-

leads them forth toward a calm and bright
land, SO that they look omo backward;
and the hand may be a little child's.-

It's a safe principle to do business
strictly for cash. But doctors can't do it.
They must have patients to earn money.
and more to collect it. A New Orleans
physician, however, has adopted a very
admirable way of collecting unpaid bills
in certain cases. When he makes a post
norton he takes the heart, stomach, lungs,
and maybe a limb or two of the deceased
to his office, and doesn't bring 'em back
till his bill is paid. The mourning
friends don't like the idea of weeping over
the grave of but a small portion of the
dear departed. They a to have the re-
mainder OF his remains, so as 10 weep
over him as a whole, and consequently
they pony up.

When my daughter hair came off she had been
afflicted with neuralgia in her head for three wears.
She had u-ci, during that time, many powcrfnla APP
phCaliCna. These, with the intense heat caused by
the plinS, burned her hair so badly that in October,
1901, 1t all came of. and for two years after her head
was rs smooth - her face.
Through the recommendation of \ friend, she was
induced to try your COCAINE. and the result was
astonishing. She had not used half the contents Of a
bottle before her head was covered with a fine Young
hair. In four months the hair has grown several
inches in length, very thick, soft and fine, and of a
darker color than formerly.

A WORLDS PEACE CoNaREss.- Il

- W OAeA51 . n Hh0h SON1hidol. III
a carefully prepared statistical paper
on the Errors Of Modern Civilization,
the Republic Magazine for April, pub
lished at Washington, shows that the
Great Powers are carrying larger ar.
mics to-day, than at any former peri
cd in the worlds history. 1t is also
shown that as direct result of war
and standing armies national indebt.
edness has increased for beyond that
of any former period. Ten govern.
ments, namely: France, Great Britain,
United States, Italy, Spain, Austria,
Russia, Germany, Turkey, and India,
owe twenty thousand million dollars,
an amount which, 10 be transported in
gold from New York to London, would
require vessel to make over thirty
voyages across the Atlantic, carrying
one thousand tons of gold at each
trip. And this enormous debt.burden
has been increased ten per cent. in the
last two years.
With these national precedents be-
fore them, sub-governments--coloni
states, cities counties, and towns-have
adopted the pernicious practice of Dor,
rowing money, especially in the United
States, and often for purposes of ques.
tionable propriety, until government
and municipal tax burdens have be-
come matters of the gravest import.
In view of these facts, and in order
to reach and strike at the fountain
head, The Republic urges a general
movement among the nations for The
suppression of the war spirit and the
Inauguration of an International
Peace Policy, and suggests the assemb-
ling of Worlds Peace Congress in
Washington in June, 1875. There ap-
pears to be no insuprable barrier to
such movement, and if once inaugu-
rated and carried out in good faith,
the result could not fail of permanent
benefit to the entire world, in the adj
vancement toward higher and hap
pier civilization.

The decrease in receipts for 1874 has
resulted from the general depression

erests, upon which the road is largely
dependent for its traffic; and also from
general reduction of rates of freight.
