Railway Companies and the Sale of
Newspapers.

There is q sort of traffic that becomes an
intolerable nuisance in the railway cars, and
which railway companies should not only
not license and encourage, but which they
should prohibit. To make passengers lap
common receptacle for every species of
villanous compound that can be put into
ten cent package seems to be pushing to an
undue degree that ownership of the public
which some railway companies and their
agents assert and practise. But we have not
yet heard that any portion of the public OBJ
jects to the sale on the train of the morning
papers; and we perceive q divided duty,
therefore, in what we must say with regard
to the action of the Troy and Boston Rail-
way Company. For its noble suppression of
itahorse and kindred denominations we shall
laud it to the skies but for its
suppression of all the daily papers we
must believe that it has been badly
advised. Any railway company whose
rules are such that they fail to distinguish
between the sale of papers which passengers
are really eager to get and the sale of cata-
logue of quackeries that is q common nuis-
ance must be managed by men who are
either imbecile or supercilious-me who
cannot comprehend what the public wants
or who are determined that the public shall
not have what it wants because they them
selves have not the same taste. If the sale of
papers and ''prize packages" must go to-
gether on the cars of that company; if the
public is to be starved by the deprivation of
newspapers into surrender on the packages,
it would perhaps be well as a compromise to
have the things on the train but not to carry
them through Keep little shop in one
corner of baggage car stuffed with those
dainties, for the privilege to sell which on the
train the company is paid. If man bankers
for prize package, if he cannot live without
such an accommodation on q short journey,
there let him find his honey of hoarhound
and be happy; but let him, oh let him find
in a corner beside it that journal crammed
with news for which his heart is hungry.
1t is to be regretted that the sale of journals
is interfered with on some other lines and
we are sorry to find the Erie Railway in this
category. There it appears the privilege to
sell papers on the line is made monopoly
and sold, and to that there is no objection,
for the company can give the news agents
advantages for which it is worth their while
to pay, and it has the right to sell these ad-
vantages as it may choose; but when a
monopoly will not do so much to accommo-
date the public as was done by the small
agents the public naturally complains. Mr..
Jewett is a gentleman of recognized public
spirit, intelligence and love of fair play,
and is certainly not party to any restric-
tions on traffic of this sort; but his subor-
dinates, before selling monopoly of SO
much importance should be sure that the
monopolists will cover all the ground from
which they displace others.

We CANNOT WELL UNDERSTAND whv men,
bers of the Legislature consent to introduce
bills 10 which they are careful to say they
are not committed 1t betokens laziness or
want of backbone. Thus Mr.. Fish yester-
day introduced bill authorizing the Mayor
of New York to appoint three Lodging House
Commissioners, who are TO entertain poor
wanderers in lodging houses constructed at
the public expense. Itis described as job,
and Mr.. Fish hastens to say he is not COM

which he was half ashamed? If it is
q good bill he is right in giving the

One of the most cruel swindles eve
perpetrated in this racality- city
came to light on Monday last. An ad~
vertisement recently appeared in all the
morning papers for five bookkeepers,
twelve statesmen, four porters and three
messengers, for new wholesale dry

to be made by letters, and it was added
that all letters inclosing Scent stamp
would be answered. Address Box -.
This may seem very small affair, but
the result proved how many people there,
are in this city watching for situations; )
for it has transpired that the number
answers to this advertisement exceeded
four thousand! No answers are known to
have been sent to any of the responses.
and, although the amount paid by each vic
tim was very small, the perpetrators made
a profit of over 800. 1t was, however,
a very painful joke on those who were
encouraged to hope for situation. The
detectives have the matter in hand, and
are trying to discover the swindlers, in
order to punish them as an example to.

said to be hog cholera. But like many
other diseases common among farm stock.
there is little doubt that this is the re-
suit of improper food or general neglect.
In late number of the National L6Ue
Stock Journal, correspondent, in
speaking of the prevalence of this dis
ease in the Western States, makes the
following very pertinent remarks on this
point:
t'The causes OF the disease are OBJ
scure; but as it is more prevalent in low
and unframed localities than on high
and well-drained soil, it is considered to,
be due mainly to miasmatic and malari-
Gus emanations. Confinement in filthy
sites, impure drinking water, and want,

the causes. We are convinced that many
animals of this class are annually lost
from the effects of improper food, from

poisonous effiuvia, the product Of animal
or vegetable decomposition. Decom-
posing substances, both animal and veg
etable, corn that has undergone change.

known to cause very great losses. Much
that we have seen convinces us of the
necessity of more attention being paid
to the quality of the food of these ami
mails than is generally being done and
also to the nature of their lodgings, as
well as the air they breathe.

ferent forms under different circum-
stances, but the causes are probably the

Fink and Carbys, elected Independents,
have both been Republicans, and are
confidently expected to vote with that

It is thought by some that we will
have considerable trouble with them
this fall, but I hardly think they will
attempt to enter the Hills, for il they
once get the miners well stirred up they
won't leave great many of them on
top of the ground. The interest in
quartz is still on the increase. We hear
of new discoveries every day, always
" the richest yet found.'' There are
some splendid leads, though, in this
district. All we lack now is capital and
machinery, and I imagine We will be
supplied with both next season. From
what have seen and heard from men
who are posted in quartz, am of the
opinion that this will be the richest
quartz region yet discovered. We have
one ledge which, if it yields as largely
as the estimates put upon it by old ex-
perienced miners, will make us our pile
in very short time.
