a9- A railroad in Tennessee, which cost
$8,O00,000, was sold the other day by re-
ceiver appointed to administer its affairs, for
just enough to cover his own fees and legal
expenses. The stockholders held meeting
the next day and wrote said official sarcas.
tic letter, thanking him for not bringing them
into debt. The receiver replied cheerfully,
begging them not to mention it, and saying
he was sufficiently rewarded in the conscious
ness Of having done his duty.

sar The Chinese plan of paying the doctor
stipulated sum, periodically, to keep one
we'll instead of feeling him after one is sick, is
practiced with modification in some parts of
this country. A physician of Springfield,
Massachusetts,, has for two years past entered
into arrangement with -sease fifty patients
by which he is paid small yearly fee for
giving hygienic advice and for suggesting
preventives of disease. If one of these pa.
tients become i'll, the doctor visits him at half
rates. The Chinese physician, under similar
circumstances, receives no compensation what
ever, and his regularly salary ceases until the
patient RECEIVERS. It will be seen that Spring
field is not quite up to the Chinese standard
in the way of furnishing inducements to doc
tors to prevent instead of to cure disease
Nevertheless, the plan is an improvement on
the ordinary system, which requires that other
people must fall sick or the doctor must
starve. The MEDICAL and Surgical Reporter
commends the suggestion which the expert
ment furnishes, and points out that by its
adoption the physician acquires a knowledge
of his patients system and habits in health,
often matter of great Importance to proper
treatment. It is suggested as an improve
ment on the Springfield plan, that where one
of the doctors charges falls i'll through the
deliberate violation of the hygienic principles
impressed upon him, he should pay double
fees instead of the half rates, which he would
otherwise be charged.

pa" One Of the most horrible tragedies in
Connecticut's recent record, is that which
startled Norwich few months ago, when
Wesley W. Bishop and Mrs. Kate M. Cobb
we're accused of poisoning, the one his wife
and the other her husband, in order to carry
on more successfully their criminal intimacy.
The preliminary examination left little doubt
that the dead pair had been murdered, and
now Bishop has made full confession. He
admits his intimacy with Mrs. Cobb, and that
he procured the poison for her to kill her hus-
band with, and also charges upon the woman
the poisoning of bis own wife. All of which
is very likely true, though some people
doubtless think that it is rather rough for
Bishop to "go back on" the woman in such
wholesale fashion. ...

SAY WHAT You MEAN.-Let your friends
know that you love them. Do not keep the
alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness
sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill
their lives with sweetness. Speak approving,
cheering words while their hearts can hear
them, and while their hearts can be thrilled
by them. The things you mean to say when
they are gone, say before they 60. The flow
ers you mean to send for their cofins, send to
brighten and sweeten their homes before
they leave them. If my friends have any
alabaster boxes laid away, full of perfumes, of
sympathy and affection, which they intend to
break over my dead body, I would rather
they would bring them in my weary hours
and open them, that may be refreshed and
cheered by them while I need them. I would
rather have bare coffin without flower, and
funeral without an eulogy, than life with
out the sweetness of 10. 9 and sympathy. Let
US learn to anoint our friends beforehand for
their burial. Post.mortem kindness does not
cheer the burdened spirit. Flowers on the
coffin cast no fragrance backward over the
weary days of our lives.

Waits From the Potter Committee.

One Of the leading members of the
Potter Investigating Com mittee tells the
following good stories: Kellogg arrived
in Atlantic City to testify before the
committee on the night after Hon, W.
Sypher, Of Louisiana, had sworn he had
seen the Sherman letter and that it was
in Sherman's handwriting. When he
heard of this he approached Sypher and
said Indignantly, II am sorry, sir, that
you testified before I, arrived. II you
had been sensible and had waited, l
could have fixed it up all right, aud there
wouldn't have been all this trouble. -
Sypher was very angry at this high
handed talk, and next day he gave evil
dence which was more damaging than
that previously given. gr
While Dennis was conducting the Re-
publican Presidential campaign in Flor
ida, be was told his life was in danger,
and during speech which he made
shortly after, be told his audience what
he had heard and asked if they would
protect him They enthusiastically said
they would and that if he was killed
they would avenge his death.
He told the incident to Noyes. and
last winter, while in company with sew
eral prominent gentlemen in Washing
ton, he heard Noyes say that he (Den
nis) had been threatened by the Florida
Democrats and had gathered six or sew
en- hundred negroes in an old church
and after ordering them to get upon their
knees, made them take solemn oath
upon Bible to revenge his death and
devastate the surrounding county
When Dennis heard this he Immediately
protested and told Noyes he had never
said any such thing Noyes led him
aside and whispered: You be quiet =
This is my story now, and want to tell
it my own way" When Noyes testified
before the Potter Committee at Atlantic
City he toll this yarn as an evidence ol
how matters stood in Florida before the
election. Dennis read the testimony
aud in great rage wrote to Noyes de
manding a retraction. The latter a,
once wrote to Mr.. Potter, saying bis
evidence in regard to this point might
be incorrect, but it was all right in the
tmain

WARNER: ai .s..s-
..Gen Warner came of a Democratic
family. although bis 6rst Presidential
vote was cast for Mr. Lincoln in 1860
At the close OF the war, being man OF
broad and liberal views, he opposed the
Southern and financial policy Of the Re,
publican party, and predicted the failure
OF both. He fought ttese measures. par
ticularly the latter. within the party, as
long as there was any hope Of Repubti
cars righting the wrong they had done
But with his opinions, Gen. Warner. With
thousands more, naturally drifted into
the Democratic party. And II is with
the aid and votes OF such men that the
Democratic party has been placed in
power in the State, and from the same
source We hope to gain complete power
IN the Nation. sa Is
eIn 1874 Gen. Warner, gave Mr.. Old
ham q hearty support for Congress hv
voting and working for him, and in 1875
he took the stump for Tiiden, and did
magnificent service for the Democratic
cause. Last year he was also untiring
in his efforts on the stump, 9 place in
which his power Is felt, as he is 9 very
