We learn that the President, Gene
raj Superintendent, General Freight
Agent, several other general officers
and some of the directors of Chicago
& Northwestern Railroad, travelling
by q special train of their own came
down the Central as far as Muchiki-
mock, where they stopped and made
q general and pretty thorough exam
nation Of the extensive coal mines
ct that place. We are not informed
40 to the purpose of this visit, but
presume it was made with view OF
informing then selves as TO the situs-
ton of the country, the condition OF
the farming interests and the extent
of the coal beds underlying all this
country. 1t has been generally under
stood that the Northwestern was anx-
ious to extend their road in this direc-
ton and this visit is possiblymade with
that object in view. The. n Northwestern
10 situated something like the Mil
waukee & st. Paul as to it's carrying
trade and branch leading into the
stock raising country of Southern
Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska is not
without range of probabilities. The
Northwestern people mean some
by this trip, and if they propose to
build a branch of their road down
here we know of no person that will
object. The Milwaukee & st. Paul
is morally sure of being built next
and why not the Northwest
ern too?

A Big Railroad.

The Davenport Democrat says
sThe Chicago, Burlington and Quin-
cy company is one of the most solid
railroad corporations in the country,
and occupies prominent position in
the territory through which it runs,
and now that it has reached out its
iron hand to grasp atill more of the
business of Iowa and the great north
west, its position among the giant
railway corporations will be looked
upon with more significance. Its
main line is from Chicago to Quincy,
q distance Of 263 miles, but it owns
and operates the following roads

What Kills.

In the school, as in the world. far
more rust out than wear out. Study is
most tedious and wearisome to those who
study least. Drones always have the
toughest time. Grumblers make poor
scholars, and their lessons are uniformly
" hard D." and too long" The time
and thought expended in sinking would
be ample to master their tasks. Sloth.
gormandizing and worry kill their thou.
sands, where overstudy harms one. The
curse of heaven rests on laziness and.
gluttony. By the very constitution of
our being they are fitted to beget that
torpor and dependency which chill the
blood, deaden the nerves, enfeeble the
muscles, and derange the whole vital
machinery. Fretting, fidgetipg, ennui
and anxiety are among the most common
causes of disease. On the other hand.
high aspiration and enthusiasm heIp

increased supply of vital energy to aIl
parts OF the body. Courage and work
!nU8orate the whole system, and lift one
into purer atmosphere, above the reach
OF contagion. The lazy groan most over
their arduous duties" while earnest
workers talk little about the exhaustinq
labors OF their profession. OF all crea.
lures, the sloth would seem to be the
most worried and worn.
