A Conscientious Engineer.

SCri6ner's Monthly has the following
item : Mr.. Peter A. Dey was the engi-
neer who surveyed and located the first
hundred miles Of the Union Pacific rail
road. He estimated its cost at not over
thirty thousand dollars o mile. When
this estimate was shown to the directors
it was returned to him with orders to re-
touch it with higher colors, to pat
in embankments on paper where none
existed on earth, and to make the old
entertainments heavier, and to increase
the expense generally; and then he was
requested to send in his estimate that it
would cost fifty thousand dollars q mile.
When MI. Dey found that this part Of
the road was to be let to parties ut
$50, 600 per mile, for work which he
knew could be done for $50, 000-this
difference ofS2O, 900 a mile amounting to
two millions of dolla:s on the first hun
dred miles, and to five millions on the
two hundred and forty-six miles-he re-
signed his position as chief engineer,
with o letter to the president of the road.
BE closed that letter thus:
"My views of the Pacific road are,
perhaps, peculiar. I look upon its
managers as trustees of the bounty of
Congress. You are, doubtless.
informed how disproportioned the
amount to be paid is to the work con-
tracted for. I need not e1patiate on
the sincerity Of my course, when You re-
fleet that I have resigned the best posi-
ton in my profession this country has
offered to any man !"

A New England Type Of Insanity.

The superintendent of the Taunton
lunatic hospital thinks he has discovered
q New England type of insanity, Ger.
tainly more positive, clearer cut, and
less easily managed, than the majority
of cases elsewhere. "It may" he says,
"be a trace of the old Puritan blood,
but I think, rather, it is due to the
character of our climate, as it soon ap.
pears in our foreign population. It is
characterized by intensity-used otter
to eliminate in Bells disease, which I
have not seen of late 4; it delights il
notes.-the crash of glass is music to its
ears !; it rends it's garments, refuses
food 90 as often to require the stomach
tube, settles into despair 80 deep that it
would seem dementia were it not 80
actively suicidal, and, in acute cases,
dies Of maniacal exhaustion out OF all
proportion to that recorded elsewhere.

Standard Remedies.

It is a fact well known to all III read
ers that u few proprietary medicines
have achieved a reputation as standard
remedies, and occupya placein every we'll
regulated household ,almostas universally
as the Bible and the family almarac.
Foremost among these is the Merchants
Gargling Oil, manufactured y the we'll
known company Of that nam at L>ck-
port, N. Y.-a sovereign remedy for
man or beast, and n which has
wrought hundreds of we'll attested cures.
We need hardly say hero what the
patrons of the Blade fully understand
that We do not make a practice Of
praising indiscriminately the numerous
compounds offered to the public, but
since we believe the "Gargling Oil" to
be q carefully compounded and efica-
oious remedy, we do not hesitate to say
as much.-Toledo (Ohio) Blade.

Anxious to Die.

Santanta. the celebrated Kiowa chief,
who is under sentence for life in the
State prison of Texas, made an ineffec-
tual attempt to end his life by suicide.
The chief has been for some time in a
depressed and melancholy state of mind
chatting under the restraint of prison
Life. For some time, however. he has
been allowed to walk within the limits
Of the yard, up to the picket line, being
placed among the "trusties," who are
allowed q certainfreedom from restraint.
Watching his opportunity he had pro.
cured a small rope, and, fastening one
end to a scautling, tied the other end
al,out his neck, and was caught dangling
with his feet about twenty-four inches
from the ground, but was cut down be-
fore LIFE was extinct. Thus the brave
old scstper was saved from strangula-
tion,jald the surgeon cheated out Of a
subject. @TF@A ~ ~

Diseased Lungs.

From P. G. Smith, Esq, Of Ithaca, N. Y.
Having for the last fourteen years used
Wistar's Balaam of Wild Cherry in my family
always with the best success, and confidently
believing hat it has on several occasions saved
my Ife-I give it as my opinion that 1t is the
best remedy in use for diseases Of the throat
and lungs. About two years sinco my
youngest son, then fifteen years OF age, took q
violent cold, which settled upon bis lungs. 30
rapid aud severe was the progress OF the
disease, that We became very much alarmed.
We commenced giving Lin the Balsam, and
G, n.inued to do 10 until FIVE bottles were used,
when this dangerous attack was removed.
Last year he was again seized with . violent
cough and cold. and believing his lungs to be
diseased wo applied to the late Dr.. ]. F.. Haw-
ley, one of our most distinguished rllJs.cisns,
for an examination, the result Of which was
that his lungs were pronounced diseased. On
learning that We had made uee of the Balsam
he advised us to continue to 10 80, which We
did, and in the course Of q few days the health
of my son WAS entirely restored. Feeling under
obligations for the benefits derived from this
great remedy, I cheerfully recommend it to
all who suffer from diseases Of the throat and
lungu,"

Consumption Cured.

An old physician, retired from active prac-

East India missionary the formula OF q simple
vegetable remedy, for the speedy. and per.
manent cure Of consumption, bronchitis,
catarrb, asthma, and all throat and lung ahec'
tions, also q positive and radical cure TO,
nervous debility and all nervous complaints,
after having Thoroughly tested its wonderful
curative powers ir Thousands Of cases., feels ii
his duty to make it Known to his suffering
fellows. Actuated by this motive, and a con.
scientious desire to relieve human suffering,
he will send (free Of charge) to all who desire
it, this recipe, with full directions for prepar'
ing and successfully using. Sent by return
mail by addressing, with stamp, naming this

Piekina up an old aisteoat of ginger

colored cloth, she Clipped off the but
tons, and mechanically turned the peck
cts inside out to cut them away. There
was o piece of folded brownish paper in
one of them. Judith took it out, with
out thinking much of it, and unfolded it.
To her surprise, she perceived that it
was a twenty-pound note. (
In her first establishment she uttered
O little cry, all alone though she was.
And then she remembered what MIR.
Stedhurst had said about the misery
old one who had "hoarded up his little
gains and died in q cellar at last" This,
doubtless, was one of the old mans hid
ing places-and he died and made no
sign.
And this precious bit of psper-was it
not hers by right of discovery?
Her eyes cleaned and her fingers
trembled convulsively as they frightened
upon it! She needed it 30 much! She
was so poor-so pinched for money.
And these Stedhursts, to whom it would
naturally revert, were rich and did not
need it. They would never know. No.
body would kn W.
For a minute the temptation battled
iercely with her better nature. For
minute only; and then she rose up and
went straight to the door of the tool
room-went with dropping eyt lids and
a scarlet stain on either cheek.
"Come in" said Mr.. Stedhurst, as
she knocked at the door, and she on
tered.
"Mr. S%tedhurst," said she, in a voice
that would falter a little in spite of her
resolution to control it; "Lere is some
money-a twenty pound note. have
found it in the pocket of n Of those
old waistcoats."
"Ah," said Mr. Stedhurst, putting
down his plane and taking the crumpled
bit of paper. "And why didn't you
keep it7 Did it not occur to you that I
would never know anything about it2"
eyes" said Judith, slowly, "it did
occur to me, sir"
"Then why didn't you keep it,"
"It was not mine," Judith answered,
in a low tone.
Judith" said old Phineas, CT put
that roney there"
"You did,"
"I did. To test you. To make sure
that the girl to whom my boy had given
his heart was worthy of him"
Judith's face glowed a deep scarlet.
Ill don't understand you, sir"
said she.
"No, T suppose not. But you will in
a few days"
