some Of our readers seem to have some
doubts about the merits Of hotel cars,
or their superiority over the ~so-called
dining car that is u for a few miles
on some roads. II am not so SURF of
that" said one of our friends, as he
finished reading our first article about
these hotel coaches that are to be run
on the Omaha and California line of
the Chicago & North-W Western railway.
81 I'M not so sure 1 would care to take
my dinner in any car, no matter how
much like a palace, while it is running
at the rate of forty miles an hour" 1t
is a saying, shat the faster you run
the safer" Why, last June it will be
remembered, that this road hauled from
Chicago to Council Bluffs. in less than
ten hours, the now celebrated Jarrett
and Palmer Train" On that train a
hotel cur, not as large, with less wheels
under it, poorer springs, and in no way
as strong and easy for riding in as these
new airs are to be, and yet, Mr.. Jarrett
said ''while on the Chicago Sc North
Western line, running at an average
rate of fifty miles an hour, we took our
breakfast as comfortably as we would
at Delmonico's, in New York"
1t is well known that the Chicago &
North-W Western railway is built over the
most favorable line as to grades that
could be found between Chicago and
the Missouri river, with but few curves;
its track is mostly Of heavy steel rail,
gravel ballasted, with wide roadway. CIV
ing it permanence and solidity-it is as
smooth as a floor; all its cars strong,
with plenty Of wheels under them, and
with springs so adjusted that the usual
bouncing and oscillation is reduced
to the minimum. We observed last
week that in an ordinary car the side
motion and raising and falling of the
a was less than half an inch, and
sometimes scarcely preceptible. We
believe it will be found that a person
will sit in these hotel cars and eat or
tcrite as comfortably as he could at his
desk or table at home this We choose to
call the triumph Of art in railirdy trdrel.
We learn that this new line of hotel
cars is being pushed to completion as
fast as the full force of workmen in the
Puleman shops can do it. We shall be
certain to see them in n few weeks.

STRANGER CAREERS THAN CRAwFoRD's.-
1t is not improbable that Osman Pasha is
the Tennesseean Crawford. The Cincin-
natl Commercial affects to dlsbelieye it, but
this is simply chagrin at Crawford's not
being an Ohioan. History is full Of more
marvellous careers than this Of Craw-
ford's would be should he turn out Osman
Pasha, ex-convict, eX-gambler, ex-guerilla,
though he be. In our own day and
generation Buringame's and Wards ca
reers in China are fully as brilliant and
unlocked for. Henry Meigs, the railroad
king Of Peru, practically "runs " the Gov
ernment of that country. He was de-
iaulter in California, and has not dared to
return to this country. General Grants
course from the gutter to the presidency,
through the most enviable fame as SOL
dier, and finally the recipient OF honors ut
the worlds hands, rendered by kings
these are quite as marvellous examples as
Crawford's would be. and hold their own
beside John Smith and William Tell.-In-

LOCAL MATTERS.

NoPFE1T REGIsTERs-THE WORK OF Put
TING THEN UP STILL GONG OE.-About a
hundred registers were put in place yester-
day. The work is a tedious one, and de-
mands the exercise OF great patience on the
part OF the officers. Luckily, Deputies VIII
kins and Wilkes are well suited by tempera-
mcnt for the duty required OF them, and in
every case have carefully ex planned the ope-
ration OF the register, and have given, as far
as possible. information about the law. In
most cases the liquor-dealeTs have received
them kindly. Onlya few have shown bad
temper.
The opposition to the register. however,
is undiminished. Yet, as the revenue-men
are not responsible for it: and must do their
part whether pleasant or not, 1t ls sensl-
ble conduct not to worry them with de-
nunciation OF DR.. Motfett or complaint
OF the law. It will probably take all OF to-
,av and Tomorrow to supply all the liquor
dealers of Richmond with registers. Five
hundred were sent here by the contractor
900 for alcoholic and 200 for malt-liquors.
All the latter will not be needed, while the
former will be insufficient. Either some OF
the malt registers will have to be converted
into alcoholic, or the contractor will have to
furnish more OF the alcoholic.
The Moffett law, like the old one, permits
bar-room keepers only to sell liquor to be
drunk on their premises. To sell by mea-
sure to be removed an additional license
must now, as formerly, be obtained.
Some complaint is made that all arc not
treated alike in the matter OF the location OF
the registers. Most Of them have been fixed
on the counters. In exceptional cases they
have been put on shelves back OF the coun-
ters. The latter is the preferable plan. No
doubt the Commissioner, or his deputy, will
do their best to please the dealers in this
respect as far as consistent with their duty.
Where the registers are fixed OH The coun-
ters the complaint is that parties who have
no right to do so are constantly inspecting
them for no good purpose.
The amount OF taN-receivablc coupons
maturing annually is about eleven or twelve
hundred thousand dollars, nearly all OF

suit will be that the Treasury will be great

Two DOLLARS BUSHEL AND BETTING ON
THE TURKS Some members OF the Corn
Exchange say that some farmers arc holding
their wheat, insuring it at two dollars Il
bushel, and betting on the Turks-that Is,
that the resistance made by the CreScen,
will be long. stout. and strong, ana as
consequence breadstuflS must 90 hlgh.
Now, on the other hand. some people on
'Change who arc as good Judges as the 1arln-
erS, and have rs deep an interest In the mat
ter. too, are most positive disbclievers III
the policy OF such insurance, and are betting
that even though the banner OF the Prophet
be uniurled, the Car will soon "clean out .
the Porte. In other words, that the war
will be q comparatively short one, and
breadstufs will not go so high; and they
point to the condition OF the wheat market
in the last few days as evidence that the ad-
vance towards two dollars has received q
check.
For some days past there has been lively
time on 'Change, for Fultz wheat has en-
tered into active competition with Lancas-
ter and white. On Saturday prime white
Lancaster and Fultz made a dead-heat ut
s1.55. Lancaster in the next heat made q
bold push and came in ahead. On Monday
prime Lancaster, choice Fultz, and prime
white came in together at $3.50. On Tues
day prime Lancaster sold at S1.55, prime
white at S15G, and very good Fultz at S1.3l
there being no prime Fultz on market,
and on yesterday very good Lancaster at
31.5O and S1.52, and very good Fultz
and very good white at 31.50. Prime Fultz
hoisted the banner OF z. T., which is be-
lieyed to mean the highest figure OF all.
Thus it will be seen that as far as the evil
deuce OF figures goes the disenthroned Fultz
has been reestablished, all essays and essay
lists to the contrary Notwithstanding. When
the word reestablished is used, it means as
far as present prices go !; for it is still main
tanned that Lancaster and white make bet
ter bread than Fultz. The secretary Of the
Corn Exchange, on being asked the other
day which wheat he thought would make
the best -four, answered: "Any OF them Is
good enough for me, and il Fultz be good
enough for an 1rishman, yea, verify is it
good enough for Dom Pedro; for an Irish
man i9 as much superior TO Brazilian as
Irish potheen is to coffee"
Corn has taken start. When the secrc-
tary's bell rang on 'Change yesterday morn
ing five cents additional was charged, like
the five cents on whiskey charged by the
Motfett bell. for sellers said, with a peculiar
logic, "Whiskey has gone up five cents !;
whisker is made out Of corn; and corn
ought to 20 up, and the consumer, like the
whlskey-drinker, ought to be madeto pay"
No rye on the market. 1t remains to De
seen how that will be affected in price, it,
too, being a generator OF whiskey.

I would most respectfully call tue atten-
ton OF the police authorities to crowd OF
bad boys who assemble on the southeast
corner of Fourth and Jackson streets, and
from to 10 p. NJ. render it dangerous for
persons passing to and fro. They throw
stones, bricks, or anything they can lay
hands on, use indecent and vulgar language,
insult little girls, remove gates, throw sand
and dirt on little children in arms, and use
gravel-shooters, &C., and in the day invade
peoples premises, grayel-shoot pigeons in
neighbors' yards, and make themselves a
nuisance generally. This state OF affairs IS
OF long standing, and should be abated at
once. No policeman can be seen after the
