AN oriental traveller describes
this busy scene, witnessed on histor-
ic shores: "Our steamer landed on a
beach which was the port of Anti
och, where the disciples were first
called Christians. There was no
town at the waters edge, no people,
no wharf. The passengers and the
merchandise were put ashore in ligh-
tiers, which ran up into the sand. A
troop of camels, with their drivers,
lay on the beach, ready to transport
the goods into the interior. Among
the articles landed were boxes mark
ed Or. ]. C. Aver s. Co., Lowell,
Mass, q. S. A. showing that they
contained medicines and whence
they came. These with other goods
were hoisted on the backs of camels,
for transportation to Antioch. Thus
the skill of the West sends ack its
remedies to heal the maladies of pop
ulations that inhabit those eastern
shores, whence our spiritual mama
came. = Windsor (Vt.) Chronicle.

The Railroad.

The work on the Railroad, during
the whole Of last week, has progress
ed we'll and fast, and about this time
the laborers are coming down to it
in dead earnest. There has been
some light sickness among few of
the men, owing to the use of Red
River and Bayou water, but not
enough to seriously checksthc rapid
progress now fully inaugurated. Of
the 80 men here at present, fully
275 haze turned out daily to work,
and with this proportion kept up, we
can but look forward hopefully for
the complete grading in our Parish.
We mention these things for the for
cign market where there may still
be doubters, and not for home croak-
ers; they have surrendered and now
acknowledge the Railroad a fixture
and certainty. Major James, the
Contractor, goes down to-day on the
Packet, and will be back the latter
part of next week with an addition
of 240 laborers to his present force.
These will be placed in camps, just
over the Bayou, and put to work to
complete the Road to Town, starting
from where the old hands left off
about three quarters of q mile from
the McLaurine Clubhouse. In the
mean time the old force will contin-
ue on the upper line and strike for
Natchitoches Parish.

Thompson, of Pennsylvania, was adopted
striking out that portion OF the bill which di
rects the Secretary of War to construct the
work in case of the default of Capt. Eads.
The bill was then passed without divis OH.
While the Tariff bill was under consideration,
Air. Roberts of New York, from the committee
ON ways and means, moved to amend section
three, which relates to stamps on matches, by
making the repeal take effect on the lst OF
May. Also requiring the Secretary OF the
Treasury to redeem the stamps on hand un-
used. Both amendments were agreed to.
MIR. Ward, of Illinois, moved to strike out
the third section, and sent up to be read COM
munication from manufacturers of matches i'll
favor of maintaining the stamp-tax OH matches,
as being protection against foreign manufac-
trers. He said that no one felt the burden
OF the tax that it yielded 1880, 900 in three
months, and that it WAS wrong to strike it out.
Tho molten was agreed to- and tax remains.
The House after considerable discussion
passed bill which provides that every person
who i'll the line of duty i'll military or naval FER
vice of the United States shall have lost limb
or sustained bodily injuries depriv ng him of
the use Of any of his limbs shall receive once
every five years an artificial limb or an appli-
ance to support and strengthen his disabled
limb under such regulations the surgeon
general OF the army may prescribe; that such
artificial limb or appliance shall be furnished
through the medical department of the army
and that the period of five years shall be held
to commence with the filing of the first applica-
ton after the 7th day Of June in the year 1870,
and that every person entitled under the laws
of the United States to pension on account of
a leg or arm which is wholly disabled and can
not be rendered serviceabo by any mechanical
appliance shall be entitled to receive the same
pension as if said leg or arm had been amps-
tated az or above the knee or elbow. 1t also
provides that all laws prohibiting the payment
of pensions to the soldiers of the revolutionary
war and the war of 1912, and to their widows,
on account Of their disloyalty, be and the same
are hereby repealed.
The House went into Committee of the
Whole on the Army Appropriation bill, which
calls for S27, 7O1, 500.
On motion of Mr.. Randall, of Pennsylvania,
an amendment was inserted forbidding paw
ment for any patent for the preservation of
cloth from moths or mildew.
The bill was then passed.

Nearly Got Out.

Young Murray, a former clerk at
Titfany's, who stole something like $12,-
600 worth of diamonds from his employ
ers, was sentenced to seven years. A
few days ago, says Sing Sing CORE
spondent, the time of another convict
by the name of Murray expired. Muir
ray, Tiffany's clerk, became aware of it,
presented himself at the office and stated
that his time was out and he would like
his discharge. While the preliminaries
were being arranged and the pvpers for
Murray's discharge being made out, q
keeper presented himself at the office
and asked why his man Murray had not
been sent for. He said his time was out,
and thought it strange he had not been
sent for. Then the first Murray was
walked back to his cell and the right
Murray discharged. The diamond thief
is still in prison and will remain there
for about six and half years.

One for Congressman Cox.

In the United States House Mr..
Wheeler, of New York. who was speak
ing on the Army bill, referred to n
speech by Mr.. Cox in which he most
zealously defended the use of troops il,
dispensing one of the so-called legisla-
lures of Kansas, in the civil strife in
that State at that date. Mr.. Wheeler
asked Mr.. Cox if he did not approve
Colonel Summers rout, by the military,
OF Kansas Legislature in 1856.
No, sir; did not" said Mr.. Cox.
1t Is well known L acted with Judge
Douglas on that question
"Well, let us see how the gentleman
acted, replied Mr.. Wheeler, and, with
countenance beaming with confidence.
he sent to the clerk desk the speech of
MIR. Cox, as it appeared in the GIobc,
defending the action of Colonel Sumner.
1t was for moment n palpable hit.
Mr.. Cox, himself, did not seem to un-
derstand it. The Republican side laughed
and applauded.
Mr.. Cox, of New York, only for n mo-
ment bewildered, i'll vain tried to be
heard.
Read" Read" shouted the Re-
publicans.
Mr.. Cox, above the din, cried, GA
point of order," and ut last was heard.
Then he said that the Cox being quoted
was one Lysander Cox, of Kentucky.
who was in the Congress of 1856, of
which he Is. S. Cox was not member.
Then the Democratic side reared with
laughter, and the Republicans turned to
Mr.. Wheeler. That gentleman was as
much confounded as the others, and
finally admitted that the speech was
handed to him without examination, and
he supposed, of course, that it had been
made by his colleague.

The Salaries of Professional Men.

Talking of salaries in the learned pro-
fessions, says an exchange, it is estimated
that the receipts of great actors in our
day will about equal those of great law
yers. Edwin Booth has made as high
as S12, 900 a month. Jefferson has made
even more. This year, in a season of
forty weeks, Clara Morris will net about
$4,000; Charlotte Thompson about
half as much. Boucicault, combining
his royalty as dramatist and his percen-
tage as star actor, is making $1,000 q
week at Wallacks Theater, in New
York. Great physicians, but only few
even of these, make incomes comparable
to those made by great lawyers and great
actors. Mott, Parker, and Clarke have
made as high as 100000 each in the
course of one year. In comparison with
those professions the divines and edi-
tors make but paltry compensation. Ten
thousand dollars year is a salary paid
but to about four employed editors in
the country, while Messrs. Beecher and
Chaplin are the only divines whose in
come reaches beyond $4,000. Of leo
turers John b. Cough makes the largest
income. His average price is $3.50 n
lecture. Of these he will in n year de-
liver about 100, netting about $25, 900 u
year. The great lawyer, the great ply
sician and the great actSr are said to be
the best paid brain-workers in America.

BY Tubes.

1t is generally supposed that packages
andie letters can he transmitted from place
to place through pneumatic tubes with
extraordinary rapidity, in something
less than at the rate of mile in one
minute. That not even q high rate of
speed can be attained is shown by the
operation of the pneumatic tubes now
used in London, where they have a line
for carrying large packages and mail
bags, and large number of small tubes
for sending telegraph messages. The
messages are placed in carriers which
are driven through the tubes by an air
pressure produced by six air pumps
worked by three tifty-horse engines.
But when the length of the tube is only
one mile the best through time made is
not better than three minutes, and in
longer tubes the speed is proportionately
slower. 1t has been found that tubes
made of lead work much better than iron
tubes, as the interior of the lead remains
smooth.

Vinegar Bitters.

DIR. J. Walker, regular practicing
physician of California, has conferred a
priceless boon upon mankind, by the
introduction of a "Bitters" compounded
from herbs exclusively, which may be
truly said to be superseding all Others,
and is becoming bitter dose indeed for
the charlatans and quacks, ON account of
its immense sale and universal popular
ity. Not only are these Vinegar Bitters,
as he calls them, an invaluable tonic and
Alternative, but they are acknowledged rs
a standard medicine, and the astonishing
rapidity with which they cure diseases
hitherto declared incurable, seems almost
incredible. After having been carefully
tested, they are kept on hand in thou
sands of households, and used for any
and every form of disease, many relying
upon them in preference to the most
celebrated physicians. They have be-
come recognized "family remedy" and
