A Genuine Surprise.
Boston Commercial Bulletin.

Boys brought up on the sea-coast of the
British Islands have usually passion for
the sea, and by the time they reach the
age Of IA or Is years, the generally come
to the determination to run away from
home, end ship as apprentices on board
the Newcastle GOLFERS or foreign trading
vessels. Indeed, it may be said with
perfect truth, that the merchant navy of
Great Britain is largely recruited from
such runaways, and there are few men of
shore-going occupation, whether mcr-
chants, clerks, artisans, or laborers, who
canuot look back to one Of these run
away experiences in their lives. It
would be destroying the romance of the
thing for boy to ask the consent of his
parents to go to sea; he must run away
and ship on his own hook, as all sailors
have done from time immemorial. Many
Of these boys arrive in Newcast!e-on-
Tyne without cent in their pockets, and
so worn out with their journey that they
are not able to walk the remainder of the
way to the shipping port, NORTH Shields,
which is eight miles down the river.
These boys are frequently referred to the
keelmen, and these worthless never hest
tate to give boy passage down the
river in their wineries. On one occasion
a couple Of boys were given passage by
a keelman, and on the passage he had a
curiosity to examine the bundles they
carried. They opened them, and, after
displaying their Sunday clothes and
white shirts, pipes, and tobacco, the lat
ter of which the keelman took possession.
one pulled out bar of soap.
"What's that?" the keelman INQUIRED.
"A bar of soap," answered the boy.
SAY man; is it gud for eatin'9" sal d
the keelman.
"Good for eating" said the boy, smil-
ing. "No; that's for washing yourself -
''Ay man, dye say sae," said the keel
man "an' how di ye use it2"
"Why, you wash yourself with it,
said the boy. '1t's soap, don't I tell
you2"
"Ay; but it's hard, an dinna see ony
water in it, observed the keelman, as he
examined it and held it between him and
the light.
The boy drew bucket of water from
the river, and with the soap washed his
face, the keelman watching him curl
ously.
"Ay, ay, see," said the keelman sbut
/ never would have thout it. Man imam
what inventions there is in this yearth.
Let me try that
The keelman tried the process. but as
he had not been washed for some twenty
years before, the incrusted dirt came of
only in spots, and when he looked in the
glass, which one Of the boys carried in
his pocket, he started back and cried
"What is it2 Its made me like lepy-
yard i the circus!"
As may be surmised, that keelman
never tried the experiment again. AS he
was constantly carrying coal the white
spots soon healed over and he recovered
from his fright but he never afterward
looked upon a piece Of soap without a
feeling Of aversion.

Of the many remedies advertised in
our columns for the cure of Coughs, Colds
and kindred complaints, we desire to call
the attention of our readers particularly
to that of Madame Porter's Cough Balsana.
This is a remedy which has been long
'known, and is very generally and exten-
sively used, particularly iD New York and
in the New England states. where it is
kept on hand as household remedy, and
where its virtues are highly and justly
priced. 1t is peculiarly adapted to child
rem, being very palatable and free from
nauseous taste, aud therefore readily
taken by them, and is at the same time one
of the most eficacious remedies in use.
1t has maintained its high standard of
excellence for over forty years, despite
the many remedies which in the meantime
have been extensively advertised In the
public prints. 1t is not claimed of it that
it is cure for Consumption, although ever
in the worst cases of that disease we heal
that it affords relief. when relief is all tha
can be expected

THE PACIFIC RAILWAY
Senator Chaffee is Determined to Make
Them Live Up to Their Contract.


WASHINGTON. Nov, 8,-Senator Chaffee
began raid upon the Union Pacific rail-
road to day He Intends to make fight
upon this road and its associate corpora
tions until he compels them to comply with
their legal obligations. This morning be
introduced preamble and resolution in
tended to compel compliance with the law,
under penalty of immediate forfeiture
of all rights, privileges, franchises, and
lands received from the United States,
together with all property of every kind
belonging to the companies. 1t is designed
to test the question OF the power of the
executive department to execute existing
laws regulating the operations of these
Pacific railroads, and points to further leg
islation for the removal of all legal imped-
iments, if any should be found, which
prevent the president from enforcing the
acts of congress.
After the paper was read for the infor,
nation of the senate Mr. Chaffee asked to
have it printed and lay over, at the same
time giving notice that he would at an
early day call it up for consideration
The senator said that according to q
| decision of the supreme court of the
United States, it was held that the Omaha
bridge was part of the continuous line oil
the Union Pacific railroad company. and
yet, in spite of that decision the company
confines to levy an additional charge of Sc
cents a passenger and a charge of $40 g
car on freight for passing the bridge. Mr.,
Chaffee says this movement on his part i;
no child's play. He means business. He
offers this resolution mainly for the pur.
pose of bringing this matter before the
senate. and obtaining the opinion of the
attorney general on the subject. He say;
he regards the acts of incorporation o.
this road and it's branches, by which the
government agrees to grant certain subsi
dies 10 the way of land grauts and other
wise, as virtually contract between ths
compan and the government. The gov.
ernment has lived up to its side of thu
agreement, while the company has not, anC
therefore the contract is at an end, and tht
government can proceed against the road
He says he is determined to bring thesl
irregularities to an end.
