Virginia (Nev.) Chronicle.J
A tough-looking citizen walked into
one of the Justices Courts, short time
ago, very much intoxicated, and requested
that he be allowed swear off drinking for
for year. His Honor obligingly put
him through the solemn motions, and the
convert with a confused rumble of we'll
meant but profanely expressed resolutions,
stumbled out of the courtroom.
"Bet he don't keep it an hour" said
one of the grinning lawyers.
Bet he sticks to it week, anyhow,
observed the Court with confidence.
"Nonsense cried everybody.
"What'll you bet :" asked the Judge.
"Twenty to ten," exclaimed an eager
attorney, producing the money.
s.Done!" cried His Hon or, land the

out and fetch that man back.
In few minutes the reformed one was
dragged in, and the Judge assembled his

"Charged with being drunk" said the
Court. whats your plea?"
"Guess Pm full" admitted the prisoner
with an idiotic smile.
"Ten days in the County Jail. Con

An Awkward Messenger.

While Nine. Rentz and her female
minstrels were performing in San Fran
cisco not long since, q well known mer-
chant, one of the front orchestra brigade,
whose head was more clear than level,
waited around the stage entrance to the
Standard Theater one night after the
performance, trying to conceal a hand
some bouquet under his ulster.
For long time he kept anxiously
peering at the different specimens OF
Mme Rentz's sirens as they put up their
umbrellas and trotted away in the rain.
After waiting patiently for about an
hour, he approached an individual with
red scarf and slouch hat, who stood
smoking a queer cigar at the entrance,
and said
" Can you tell me, sir, if Miss Chloro-
line has gone home yet 2"
"Oh. yes been gone half an hour.
replied the slouch hat party, cheerfully.

A Mothers Influence.

1t is hard for young mother, who has
not yet overcome the wayward tenden-
cies of her own youthful nature, to realize
the influence she exerts over her little
ones. She is constantly surrounded by
critical imitators who copy her morals
and manners. AS the mother is, SO are
her sons and daughters. If family of
children are blessed with an intelligent
mother, who is dainty and refined in her
manners, and does not consider it neces-
sary to be one woman in the drawing
room and an entirely different person in
her everyday life, but who is true
mother, and always tender, charming
woman, you will invariably see her habits
of speech and perfect manners repeated
in her children. Great, rough men, and
noisy, busy boys, will always tone down
their voices and step quietly, and try. to
be more mannerly when she stops to give
them a kind word or pleasant smile
for true mother will never fail to say OF
do all the kind, pleasant things she can,
that will in any way help to lift up and
cheer those whose lives are shaded with
care and toll. The mother of to-day rules
the world of tomorrow. Think of it, deal
sisters, and guard well your home treas
ures.

French Doctors.

The fees which French physicians re-
ceive, says the London NeaOs, would seem
to their English brethren very low. I
gather from recent controversy in the
papers that some leading London practi-
TONERS lately raised their fee for first
consultation to two guineas. In Paris the
best physicians expect four dollars for
consultation at home, and eight dollars it
they 60 out; but rather exaggerated
sentiment of professional delicacy pre-
vents them, as rule, from demanding
more than patient chooses to give. The
table of busy doctor is Uttered over with
gold-pieces SO grouped as to convey the
hint that fees of one, two or three napo-
Icons have been received; but if a patient
lays down two dollars, or even one, he re-
ceives his bow and thanks without pro-
test, the doctor assuming (often wrongly
that the man has given all he can afford.
In country towns one dollar is the usual
fee, but forty cents are often given by men
who ought to know better, and forty cents
is the invariable fee which village doctors
put down per visit when sending in their
bills at the end of the year. One is
ashamed to say that these doctors bills
often give rise to the soriest haggling, for
there exists crooked opinion that q
physician should regard himself as phi
lanthropist, and pay his butchers bills
,With the mere thanks of his patients. A
eountry doctor attends prosperous peas
ant proprietor, day after day for weeks,
supplies medicines, effects a cure, and at
the end of the year is treated as an extor-
toner because he has charged a sum which
will barely pay for the wear and tare Of
the horse and gig. Some doctors draw
regular salary from a medical club; but
these are the worst used Of all, for every
member of the club feels bound to take
out FIVE or six times the value Of his sub
scription in doctors visits, even if he have
nothing the matter with him.

The Beginning.

Gigantic results often spring from a
small beginning. Years ago, man sail
ing between New York and Norwich, said
to the captain of the shin: wish I
had something to do" Whereupon the
captain replied: Do you see the
bundles and packages in the birth of my
state-room Their number is increasing
every trip; they are in my way, and the
care and attention I have to give to them
takes more time than can afford. Sup
pose yon collect and take charge of these
private packages for fair compensa-
ton. think you can easily build up a
paying business" /" This man, whose
name was Adams, took the hint, and from
such beginning originated the Adams
Express Company.

1T SEEMS BUT YESTERDAY.

Dear love, 1t seems but Yesterday
That you were by my side,
When down along the orchard way
We wooed and laughed and sighed:
The birds are singing in the trees,
The clover's breath is sweet,
And far across the mossy 1eas
hear your pairing feet.
Though seas divide the loving hearts
That beat so fond and true,
There Is love that ne'er departs,
But always leans on you;
It seems but one brief sunny day,
Icannot call it more,
Since you were standing on the quay :
To see me leave the shore.
I'll come again. ere roses fade,
And meet you at the gate,
For remember that you said
You'd watch for me and wait.
Although tits years since last we met,
It seems but yesterday;
And, darling, cannot forget
The words you had to say.

The New York Graphic Against the

II there Is any one thing we admire It Is
fairness in journalism. This rare virtue Is
added to many others which have COM

while, by quoting the words Of cur Saviour,
Lead us not into temptation" the Graphic,
by implication ut least, comedies our Views
correspondent with the words Of our Saviour.
This we look upon as frank and liberal In
argument.
The logic OF the Graphic appears to be
that there is no reason why women should
not have valuable jewclry lying around
loose and unguarded because Mrs. HULL,
who was addicted TO this practice, employed
many servants, and only ono OF them all
ever killed her and, II might as well have
added, he killed her but once

porary-but 30 long as It shall find it neces-
sary to differ from the Sermon on the
Mount in differing from US. We shall hope

give ARCHIBALD VI. BLISS the opportunity

THE HOOSIC TUNNEL.
The Boston Hoard Of Trades CommIttee Re-
porl Ipon ENIaIIng DIncrences

Boston, Mass, June 26.-The special COM
mit,ce appointed by the Boston Board OF Trade
to report upon the differences between the State
management Of the Hoosac Tunnel and the
Troy and Greenfield Railroad in the matter Of
excessive tolls claimed TO be charged the Fitch
burg Railroad, have made their report which
in substance sustains the management of the
Filchburg Railroad. and states that the Official
reports. figures and statistics show that the
Hoosac Tunnel traiiic has been done ut a loss
to that road during tho year ending Sept 80.
1878; that the State has received larger per-
ccntase OF the revenue based upon the earn
iugs oi the Troy and Greenfield Railroad than
the connecting or competing roads engaged in
similar traffic; that unless the tunnel tolls are
fixed upon such terms rs will encourage connect
ing rOnds to otter their traflic TO the Troy and
Greenfield Railroad, disastrous consequences
are likely t. follow. not only affecting the
nue. OF the state and the road. but also the bust
ness and commercial interests Of the Common
wealth and the future welfare OF Boston. There
fore tho Committee urge upon the Board the
importance of immediate action In the opin-
lOn~bt the Committee the proposition OF the
Ftchburg Railroad TO offer IL t. the Troy and
Greenfield road at actual cost submitting the
question 81 cost TO arbitration. and leaving the
entire balance for the State Is liberal and greatly
for the benefit Of the State. They hope the
Board Will use its influence with the Governor
aud Council to bring about the settlement upon
this basis.
