cooperation between the railroads; the companies
had come to the idea that 1t was wiser to keep con-
tracts than break them."
CLASSIFICATION OF SHIPMENTS.
The direct examination OF Mr.. Blanchard was
again taken up the subject Of classification,
Judge Shipman questioning the witness. There
were 512 articles classified, and rates made to 412
different points, the classification should take into
consideration the value OF the articles carried.
Mr.. Sterne wanted to know IL he should send tele
gram by the Western Union lines that his cow had
calved and another ordering transaction by which
he could make 900 whether the company should
charge for the latter whether the Post
Office Department should charge more for sending
letter involving an important contract than for
domestic letter? Mr.. Blanchard replied that II the
Post Office know the contents of the letters they
should charge more for the more important service
rendered and II Mr.. Sterne's Alderney.

After recess Mr.. Blanchard resumed his testimony.
Referring the cutrates he said that much Of the
troubles came from the Western railroads: road

bad for the merchants and bad for the railroads
Question by Chairman Hepburn--Does not all this
argue the necessity for some authoritative supervi
sion OF the railroads? A. The railroads have now
put a stop to that; their AGREEMENT has lasted
over thirty months and Is constantly growing in
strength; there is nothing likely occur to bring
back the railroads to their old ways OF doing bust
ness; under the pooling arrangement Erie received
thirtythree per cent Now York Central three.
Pennsylvania twenty live and Baltimore and Ohio
ness each road took twenty-five per cent; this
rangemcnt was found to be unsatisfactory to some
of tho roads. and on March l, 1879, the following
percentages took effect the different classes OF
freight from Now York.

EASTER.

To-day is the festival of the resurrection of
Christ, which has been observed from the first
day, and will be to the end, with the greatest
solemnity, in all parts of the Christian world.
In times gone by, Christians, when meeting
on this holy day, greeted each other with a
kiss, and the words, "Christ is rsen," to
which was replied, "he is risen indeed. ="
This custom is observed at as late day as
the present in the Greek Curch. The recur-
renee of Easter brings with it many pleasant
social moments and sports wherever the
Christian dwels. The services in the Episco-
pal and Roman Catholic Churches will be very
impressive and solemn to-day. At the
Episcopal Church there will be fine music
during the service, and in the evening there
will be children's festival at the church,
when all the good little ones shall receive
beautifully colored Easter eggs.

THE OPIUM VICE.

The question of how to effectually destroy
the desire for opium among white men
| aud women, is now agitating the rninds
of all good people on this coast But the use
of this drug as an habitual stimulant, pro-
ducing exhilaration and pleasant flights of
fancy, is prevalent in other parts of the I'm
ion and Europe as well. This vice is more
difficult to detect in the first stages than the
excessive nse of alcohol. and it is practiced
most where the latter is severely coude mined
by the law and society. very eminent

use of opium by smokers to produce into1i-

until the middle of the 18th century, but the
medicinal qualities of the drug were known
to them many centuries before. The desire
for it as means of dissipation grew so rapidly
that in the latter part of the 18th century AL
imperial edict was issued against its use.

A New SwINDLB-The readers of the
MORNING APPEAL are warned against new
swindle which is now anoat fellow who
assumes the name of H. P Jones, and the
business of jewelry and diamond dealer in
New York, sends out circulars to the effect
that the persons to whom they are addressed
are selected for their popularity in the com
munity in which they reside, to draw a valu-
able gift in Jones gift enterprise A few
days subsequent the person or persons who
a g so addressed, receive another letter inform
log them that they have drawn a valuable
watch or diamond pin. and that, by the re-
mittance of FIVE dollars for the ticket, the
gift will be forwarded. The whole thing is
barefsced swlndle, and any one who will be
unsophisticated enough to send the money
will receive in return a thing worth perhaps
fifty cents SO don be gulIed.
BAD BoYs-Last evening about clock
the saloon building on the corner of 9Th and
Carson streets. The noise emanated from the
threats of two boys, none of whom could be
more thru 10 years of age, who were both in
an awful state Of intoxication, and were fighting
over a soda bottle full of whisky The bottle
was taken from them and with an application
of boot leather, were sent home The young
sters had their faces bedaubed with red paint,
and belonged to the gang who have for the
past day or two made Carson howl with their
nnearthly Indian yells. They were too drunk
to relate from whom they received the liquor.
One thing is certain, and that is that they
procured it from some one who ought to be
to encourage the vice III boys of that
tender age.
A RUNAWAY ORPHAN-Four days ago ten
rear old orphan boy was brought to the asylum |
rom Austin, but he did not seem to like the |
'laee, and on the second day he made his es-
ape to Virginia, from which point he was
eturned here last night. Deputy Sheriff
oowers placed him in charge of Col. Mills.
The boy told both of these gentlemen that
lie will not, under any circumstances, remain
t the Home, but shall again runaway at the
rst opportunity. He says that he wants to
o to Jail, and doesn't want to live any where
lse. If that youngster is not insane, the
