The Jersey City Argus says: Lloyd
Clark, an engineer on the Long
Branch division of the Central rail-
road, is probably the richest man
holding such position in the country.
For several years he ran an engine on
the Central Pacific road, during which
time, becoming seized with the specu-
lative fever, he launched out, buying
and selling gold and stocks, always
with success, until at the end of five
years he came East, the owner of be-
tween $4,000 and 100000. He es-
tablished himself in New York with q
view of living in a manner consistent
with his means, but such life was too
irksome, and after several attsmpts be
gave up the experiment, and securing
position on the Central went to
work at his favorite business. Mr..
Clark is one of seven brothers, all of
whom are railroad engineers in differ
ent psFta Of the world.
A man may drink moderately but
steadily all his life, with no apparent
harm to himself, but his daughters be-
come nervous wrecks, his soma epilep-
tics, libertines or drunkards, the he
reditary tendency to crime having its
pathology and UNMARRIED laws, precise
ly as scrofula, consumption, or any
other purely physical disease. These
are stale truths to medical men, but
the majority of parents, even those of
average intelligence, are either ignor-
ant or wickedly regardless Of them.
There will be a chance of ridding
our iails and almshouses of half their
tenants when our people ere brought
to treat drunkenness as a disease OF
the stomach and the blood as we'll as
of the soul, to meet it with common
sense, and physician, as we'll as with
threats of eternal damnation.

When man jams his head against
beam in the cellar, no one comes in
to sympathize with him. We don't

Yesterday afternoon at about two o'clock

years, was on his way from one of the

Mail Robbery.

The mail bag and mail from Springfield,
intended for the G. 80 p. m. train at Charles
town, was stolen out of the stage while
standing at the depot. No clue has yet
been obtained of the thieves. The bag and
most of its contents-excepting the valua-
bic part-was found in the back of the
hotel at Charlestown. The bag had been
cut open with some blunt instrument, and
every letter and paper examined. The
National bank of Springfield sesds its daily
remittances to Boston by this mail and had
about 5000 worth of checks in this bag
They can do the present holders no good
as payment on all of them has been stopped,
and if they could he returned it would save
the officers Of the bank good deal of work
in obtaining duplicates. Present indica-
tons are that the thieves did not obtain
enough money to pay them for sharpening
their knife in order to do Il better job on
the next mail bag. BROWNIE.

The Forty-Fourth Congress.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81.
Mr.. Boutwell, presented a report pre-
pared by the chief clerk of the treasury de-
in December, 1872, in regard to the erro-
neous practices in accounting in the treas
ury which have grown up in usage, or have
been authorized by, law. Mr.. Boutwell,
said when the report was prepared bill
was submitted to the committee on ways
and means of the house, which was ap-
proved by that committee and passed by
the house, but failed in the senate that the
bill was for the purpose of correcting all
such erroneous practices. He thought the
report prepared by the chief clerk was of
sufficient importance to be printed for the
use of the senate, and therefore moved to
have it printed. Agreed to.
After taking up of the homestead bill,
the pending amendment being that sub
mitted yesterday by Mr.. Howe, providing
that nothing in the act shall be construed
to affect the title which the state of Wis
consin, or its assigns, may have to lands

ment providing that the commissioner of
the general land office shall not hereafter
restore such lands to market, without au-
thority from congress rejected-yeas 10,

MIR. Howe next submitted an amendment
providing that nothing in the act shall be
held to confer upon the general land Office
| power to restore to market any land once
T granted to state for railroad purposes ;
rejected.
Mr.. Freelinghuysen of New Jersey, sub
mitted an amendment, providing that moth
ing contained in the act shall affect any
rights that are now vested rejected-yeas

Mr. Cameron of Wisconsin, submitted
an amendment to strike ont of the third
section the words, ''or when granted was

ditions imposed by such grant, so that the
section should read "That all such pre-
emption and homestead entries which may
have been made by permission of the land
department, or in pursuance of rules and
instructions thereof, within the limits of
any land grant, at time, subsequent TO
the expiration of such grant, shall be
deemed valid and compliance with the
lrws and making of proof required shall
entitle the holder of such claim to a patent

Mr.. Merrimon of North Carolina sub
mitted an amendment that the act shall not
be so construed as to imply any obligation
of the United States to compensate any
person on account of any claim or right
