Hints TO Travellers.
Railroadef

When you get to the station, hunt up
the agent and ask him what time the
next train goes. Never mind about
telling him which way, for he can ask
you that. 1t will show whether he is
paying any attention to your question.
Then ask him what time all the other
trains come, Just to see if he knows. If
you think Of it, ask if they stop, if they
are freight or passenger, and other lit
tie things you III think Of, for you
know he gets paid for answering ques-
tons. 1t doesn't matter whether you
intend riding on the train or not. II
you are tlreu, go and sit down, but do
not rest longer than necessary, for you
have not inquired If the road is going to
change time soon, and what time the
tram will be likely to get through ON the
new card. Ask him what time the
trains run by on his road, and how
much faster that is than Chicago time,
for he knows, and if he does not tell, it
is because he is uncivil. Just as the
train is coming, and the ticket agent is
closing his ticket window to 90 OUT to
the train, rush up and tell him you
want Il ticket. Don't say anything
about where you want TO go. See how
near he can guess AT it. Give him Il $40
bill, aud after he has hurried up to get
out his change box, If there is any silver
among it, say to him: Here, | guess /
have got the change, " forthis is the way
to find out his disposition. Then t is
4 good time to tell him you have a
trunk to check. The world was not
made in a day, and what's the use of
being in a hurry, you know? Put your
ticket in your pocket-book, and button
two or three coats over your pocket.
Don't make a move TO get 1t ready for
the conductor until he asks you for it.
for he may miss YOU and you would be
that much ahead. Then he has lots of
time TO wait, but if he hasn't it's not
your fault. During your trip ask the
conductor ali the questions you asked
the agent, for perhaps the agent has lied
to you about some of them. Ifthe con-
ductor answers you short in reply to
any OF your questions, it is because he
is mad ut you for buying n ticket. He
wanted you to pay him so he could
knock down the money-for they all
steal, You know.

OCCASIONALLY an event occurs which
shows the need ofpeculiar care before
the burial OF those who are supposed
to be dead. The following case is mem
toned in the Portland O~reQ0nidn: A
lady living near Portland was taken
violently i'll, and to all appearances
died. Preparations were made for the
interment, and after the usual interval
friends met for funeral services at the
residence Of the bereaved family. Sud
denly a slight moan was heard to issue
from the coffin. This greatly startled
the assembled neighbors, and the peo-
pile were about to rush from the room,
when the husband ofthe lady approach
ed the coffin, and was astouished to find
the body moist and warm. A closer
examination disclosed the fact that the
woman was breathing. Restoratlves
were applied, and the supposed dead
came back to life, and soon was able to
sit up and converse.

A DESPERATE FIonT.-A dispatch
from Kansas city gives the following
particulars of a terrible duel which oc-
CURED in the State Of Kansas, on the
22d inst; "About dusk Friday night
a terrible tragedy was enacted in Wy.
andott county, Kansas, ten miles from
Kansas City, resulting in the deaths of
James Dobbns and Michael Burns, old
farmers and residents of the county.
There had been a fued Of ten years
standing between the femilics, and on
Friday Dobbins and Burns met on the
premises Of the latter and after pass
ing a few words began shooting at each
other. 1t was deadly duel with the
wives and families of both as specta-
tors. Dobbins opened fire by sending
two balls into the side OF the house,
when Burns pulled his revolver, and
the men advanced to within two feet
of each other before any more shoot
ing took place. Dobbins then fired,
hitting Burns in the arm, and in re.
turn received two bullets in the chest
Neither men fell, and Dobbins shot
Burns through the abdomen, when
the latter fell, but raising himself shot
once more, the load entering Dobbins
head behind the ear The men then
clinched and in death grapple beat
each other with dubbed revolvers
The wife Of Dobbins tried to assist her
husband, but he died while struggling
with Burns, who also died soon alter

FIRING HoT SHoT.-The ablest of
the Abolition leaders, Wendell Philips,
is still alive and kicking. He never
did the Democratic party any good,
but ht is just now cauterizing the hides
of some Of his Radical brethren in this
way. In 4 recent letter to a friend in
the State of Maine he remarks
Burke said (recognizing that there
is a faith due to the people as well as
the holders Of public securities }; at
is to the property Of the citizen and
not to the demands of the creditor Of
the State, that the original faith of
society is prior in time, paramount in
title, superior in equity" Forgetting
this, tho Republican party broke the
pledge which made groenbacks ex-
chaDgeablc with bonds, cheating the
people out OF millions which they gave
the Shylocks. Second, they ordered
the bonds, which Sherman said, in the
Senate, 1869, were payable in paper,
to be paid in coin. Swindlo No. 2, Of
some $500, 100000. Third, they demon.

FAR AHEAD l-"The loyal North" is
always ahead at the Treasury Depart
ment. A glance at the pension rolls
in Washington reveals the fact that
while tho State of kentucky furnished
79,O25 men to the Union army, she has
but 2,l06 invalid pensioners-one to
every thirty.two soldiers sent to the
field. Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont furnished l14,005 soldiers TO
the army and now have $3.50 invalids
on the pension rolls, or an average OF
one to every sixteen, just double the
ratio in Kentucky, This shows that
