THIS is the reason why the Brooklyn re-
vival il such a failure.
An Olcr e. ChambeTmaids.
II used to be the boast of the founder
OF the Ncjo lorh Iicra}d that his mann de-
prndcnce was ON the chambcrmaids ana
washcrwomen, and thata longas they con-
tnuod 20 send him their advert ispmeuls,
nobody else could destroy his business.
The income Of his successor, in great part
derived from the same source, has recent
" been publicly stated to amount to near
~ thrce-uuaIt1rs OF a million 81 dollars II
year.
Fortunately good thing has happened
TO the chamhcrmuidsand whshcrwomcn, by
which an opportunity is Afforded them, in
these hard times, TO save their hitherto
heavy contribution to this enormous in
come They have only TO defer their
advertisements till Sunday ana then in
stead OF inserting them in the Hcrdid TO
put them IN the Telegram, which is issued
from the same office and which generously
offers to pdblish their advertisements for
nothing.
Besides saving the expense of adver-
women VIII IN this way get their wants in
sertcdin papcro much larger circulation.
The Telegram is sold for one half the price
OF the Hcrdld, aud of course more people
will buy il. How many persons are going
to be fools enough TO pay four cents for II
paper when they can Get better one, is
sued from the same Office, for two? In
fact, il l. officially announced from the
Htidld Office that the Telegram already
has circulation of 100000 copies-much
more than tue Herald can boast Of.
the Telegram, besides having the same
points OF eXccllenceas the Herald, abounds
in spirited illustrations, which, Of them
selves. must keep its sale far above that Of
the Hcrdld Wethcreforo cordially urge all
persons who have hitherto advertised their
wants IN the Hcrdld, rs well us such rs are
too poor to insert them in THE Sun, to get
them put into the sunday Telegram FOR
nothing. In doing tins we are actuated by
II double motive: first, 10 aid the clam
hcrmaids and washcrwomcu; and second
~, TO give tho Sunday Tt'cHnria a lit.
II was little startling 20 read in the
morning papers, few day ato, that train OF
| cits mad run through an open drawhridgc into
ne.rys creek, near Rutherford Park, the
! Erie Railway. 1t happened to be a freigh train,
but H. might just rs well have happened to be "a
pa senger train. The engineer discovered that
the draw was omen IN time TO leap OF and save
his he: but this was not owing to anv signals Of

tors that ever took place on railroad.
! Many lives we're sacrinced-we think about
f,rty-and many OF the passengers who sur

was In tho evening, aud the signals that the
dr W was open were up, but the engineer dli
not see them. lie was a very careful man who
had been IN the company employ long time
and was highly esteemed. Criminal proceed
nas were instituted against this engineer. but
ne was acquitted. However, lie experienced
the most poignant grief at the thought OF
having caused so many deaths, aud after under
going the fortunes OF remorsc for several years
he sought relief IN suicide.
Among the passengers was daughter OF TN
late DR.. RUrUs W. GRiswoLD, and most TO
mantle story was related at the time Of he
rescue from drowning, at the last moment, by
young man at the imminent risk OF his owl
lie.
The New Hnven Railroad Company, in com
pllance with the imperative demand OF the pub
he sentiment at the time, immediately adopted
ar lie that all trains on the road should com
to complete stapdstll before crossing an
| drawhridgc, whether the draw were open O
, shut. The Legislature Of Connecticut also en-
acted statute requiring this, and the practic
is still adhered To, SO that no further accident q
the Kind has since occurred on that road.

Island road seem to have been pa'teIne
