Experiments which have been
made on one of the railways of
Pennsylvania, to test the efficiency
of wooden rails, are said to have
succeeded much beyond the expec-
tations of the projectors of the en-.
terprise. The rails are of sugar ma
pie, seven inches by four inches in
thickness, and about tWslYe feet in
length. The ties are laid down in
the ordinary way, notched, and the
rails let into them about four inches.
They are then keyed firmly with
wooden wedges driven on the sides.
The cost of laying this track is $3.50
o mile. No iron spikes are used,
and the cost of track laying is about
the same as for iron rails. The
highest rate of speed for locomotives
passing over this track has been fix
ed at Is miles an hour. 1t has been
estimated that wooden track will
last, ordinarily. from three to four
wears,

itics, and the more men think the
less Democracy suits them. 1t was
this feeling that overthrow Tamma-
ny this fall-it is this feeling that
will give the State to the Republi-
cans next year, sure. The rings that
have plundered this city and Brook
lyn own the Democratic party, and
the taxpayers find that they can on

Democracy in New York is not a
corpse yet, but the death rattle is in
its throat. Let US make a judicious

BEECHER
may be as popular as ever in his own
church, but he is not outside of that
body. He attended the Moody and
meetings quite regularly up
to last Saturday. The clergymen
present on that day were invited to
remain after the meeting, to consult
as to the best means of carrying on
the work, and Beecher stayed with
the rest, but, alas! he was coldly re-
ceived, and many of the reverends
did not speak to him at all. He has
not been at the Rink since. In his
sermons he speaks of Moody as
i'Brother Moody" but the evangel-
ist always prefxes the plain ''Mis
ter" to Beecher's name. There is
no getting rid of the fact, the public
have lost confidence in Beecher. He
does not stand where he did two
years ago, and never will. Innocent
Or guilty, he has lost his grip, and
the sooner he withdraws from pub
lie gaze the better it will be for his
name. PIETRO.

Some time ago there was an order
ISSUED from the General Superin-
tendent's Office of the Chicago & AL
ton Railroad requiring agents and
other employees connected with the
trains upon the road to wear badges
when upon duty, designating the po-
sition they have, that the travelling
public might, without mistake, know
who to apply to for information or
protection required. This order, in
due time was sent to the different
agents along the line of the road,
together with the badges they were
to wear.
Among the agents that received
this order and badge was Mr.. J. B.
Madison, of Washington, upon the
Western Division of the road, who
Immediately carried out the order.
He was very much pleased with the
badge, as it was quite ornamental,
and showed to every one the posi-
tion held. He thought it would save
many questions as to the rank he
held upon the staff of this large cor,
poration, so he wore it continually
not only around the town, but to
church and other places of amuse-
ment-and when he took off his hat
he would place it in a very conspicu-
GUS position, that it might draw at
tention. The young men of Washing
ton began to feel quite taken abaek
by the attention given to the young
railroad agent, therefore they set
their heads together to get rig on
him, which they saw fully carried
out lately to the delight of all the
citizens of the above named city.
They purchased very fine sword
and belt down the road somewhere,
and then wrote letter purporting
to come from the General Superin,
tendent, informing all agents that
in future they wonld be required to
wear the sword and belt, as it would
add greatly to the appearance of the
leading official at the station, as well
as give him something with which
to defend the patrons of the road
from the confidence men and pick
pockets that are always to be found
at railroad station, This was tax
en- north and given TO the train men
who, on the arrival of the train at
Washington, delivered it to Mr..
Madison, who promptly put it on;
and he was seen prominading the
streets in full dress, strutting about
as proud as a Major General. The
novelty of the thing created consid-
cradle laughter among citizens, who
began to question him about the
cause of all this display; whereupoq
he showed the instructions, Some
one told him that the whole thing
was joke put upon him, and that
he had better see if the thing was
general throughout the line; so he
repaired to the Office, and by tele-
graph asked the agents at Laeon and
Wenona if they had got their swords,
&c, to which they replied they had;
that they were the laughing-stoek of
every one, but they did not mind it,
as they would soon become used to
it. Getting this assurance that there
was no joke about it, he resumed his
business without any further trouble.
Before night the joke had gone
the length of the wires on every di-
vision of the road, and a ripple 0f
laughter was continuous from Chica-
go, Louisiana and Washington, to
Chicago, and probably by this time
to every telegraph line in the Union.
If Mr.. Madison ever hears the end of
It he may bless his lucky stars.

AT a successful seanee in Cincin-
natl the other night, a mau burst in
to tears when the medium described
very accurately a tall, blue-eyed
spirit standing by him, with light
side whlskers, and hair parted in the
middle. "Do not know him ?" in
quired a man at his side, in a SYM
pathetic whisper, "Know him ! 1
guess | do" replied the unhappy
man. "He was engaged to my
wife, and if he Lad't died he would
have married her. Oh, George,
George !" He murmured in voice
choked with emotion, "why did you
peg out ?"

A little pencil, slate and rule.

A little rest from hardest toll.
A little silver in his hair,
A little stool, and easy chair;
A little night of earth lit gloom,
A little cortege to the tomb.

Death of Req. DIR. Thomas.

Rev. Thomas E. Thomas, d. D., Profes.
sor of Biblical Literature, in Lane Tneo-
logical Seminary, Walnut Hills, died
last evening.
Although native of London, England,
he came 10 this country at the age OF two
years, was here educated and here did
his life's work. Graduated from Miami
University i'll 1854, he has ever since been
identified with the work of the Presby-
terian church, and in his latter years has
been regarded as one of its most PROM
inent leaders.
He has altsrnated from pulpit to Pro-
fessorship several times, having been
identified with Hanover College, Ind,
aud the Theological Seminary at New
Albany in earlier years. He was once
pastor at Hamilton, in this State, also at
DAYTON, where be remained twelve
years, coming thence to the labor of his
last days.
After Rev. DR.. Burt resigned the pas
torate oil the Seventh Presbyterian
Church of this city, DR.. Thomas supplied
the pulpit until the successor, Rev. Hugh
Smythe, was elected to the vacancy.
The Church were greatly attached to DR..
Thomas and made many endeayors to
induce him to become their pastor. but
ne would not consent, believing that his
held for usefulness was larger as an in
structor Of ministerial candidates at
Lane Seminary.

Mr.. Lords "rimothy filters" is rendered
in highly commendable manner, and
his ludlcrous "EXCUSE ME" is SO far
pleasing to the audience as to provoke
all encore. "Musette" will be repeated
again this evening.
The Harmonic Concert last evening
was complete success. Pikvs was, in
spite of the rain, crowded with an audi
ence, the intelligence of which was alone
compliment to those participating in
the exercises, while the rapt attention
with which every part of the programme
rendered was rewarded and the tre-
quent applause and encores Of the large
audience were even more gratifying to
the Societies and their friends. Alto
gether, the enterprise of the giving of
the two concerts has been success both
in point of pleasing the public and in a
financial light.
Tomorrow night the Georgia Min
strels appear at Pixies, and will remain
during the week. Calender is running
two companies, one being permanently
located in Baltimore and drawing full
houses the season through, and the other
composed of the choice selections from
the old company, with number of new
and excellent embers, is the one which
is promised us this week.
