Selfish People Travelling.

There is no relation of life in which
the natural selfshness of man comes out
so strongly as in travelling. People who,
when at home or among their friends,
are not only polite, cOnsiderate of the
comforts of others, but even self-sacrific-
ing in trifes, often become grasping, re
pellant, mOrose, when they get on the
railroad train to 90 travelling. Too often
they seek their own comfort to the dis
regard of the rights of others. A man
will enter train and take whole seat
and so arrange his baggage as to cover
the whole of it, so as to keep any one
else from occupying part of it. He
only pays for one seat, and he knows
perfectly well that he has no right to
occupy two, and yet he does so frequent
", until he is forced to yield, and then
he does so with as bad grace as possible.
1t matters not that other man may be
standing up in the cars; he rarely has
the grace to invite one of them to sit by
him. He sits and looks as fOrbidding as
possible, or turns his back and gaZes out
of the window so as to prevent, If possible,
any one from requesting him fer a seat
beside him. The ladies are in this
respect no better than the men, land they
are more perfectly masters of the situa-
ton. She is protected by her sex in her
| selfishness and her disregard of the COM
| fort of her sisters. A gentleman does
not like to ask her for a seat, though he
/ has perfect right to do so. Even an
! other lady is at a disadvantage in asking
| her for a seat.
A cold, naughty, insOlent manner and
an intrenched air of possession usually
enables her to hold her double seat
against all comers. The pOliteness Of
men to woman rarely fails in America,
and it is no unusual thing for two gentle
men to rise to give lady whole double
seat because another lady fails to offer
her a seat Now in this case each lady
secures her double seat at the price of
! the discomfort of the fellOw-travelers.
When it is a man who behaves thus the
remedy Is comparatively simple. There
is even a sort of pleasure IN applying It..
| The passenger who on entering the car
finds all the double seats occupied by
men who refuse to make room for him Is
often tempted to pick Out the most ex-
elusive looking of them and 90 up and
/ cooIIv and business like tell him to make
room, and then down by him in as rOOmy
and spacious a style as possible and then
hum or whistle some slow, plaintive air
kind O. sad like This infiicts agOnies
upon the exclusive traveller and gives to
the newcomer that calm inward repose
which comes from the infiictiOn of
righteous punishment. Yet how much
better it would be for the ladies to
make place for their fellow female
4 travellers and to exchange the little
courtesies that brighten the journey
how much better it would be for the
man to promptly make room for the
newcomers and get into friendly chat by
the way The selfish exclusiveness in
travelling does not pay. One does not
get the most out of the voyage in that
way Baltimore Gazette.

ALUMINIUM IN INDUSTRY. some
met past, aluminium has been exten-
sivelY used by some of the principal in
strument-malzers in Germany, the arti-
cles of this sort manufactured being
mainly nautical instruments, such as
seXtants, cOmpasses, etc, and the Ger
man navy is said to be supplied through
out with instruments of this kind of
metal. As proof of the superiority of
the German article, the fact is men
toned that the normal set of weights
and balances used by the international
commission for the regulation of weights
and measures, which lately was in ses-
sion at Paris, were obtained from Stuck
radt, in Berlin, and not from any of the
manufacturers at Paris, though the lat
ter is the reputed seat of the aluminium
industry. The metal is generally used
pure in Berlin, and cast pieces only are
composed of aluminium containing about
five per cent. of silver. 1t is admitted,
however, that the use of aluminium can
not greatly increase, even in case the
cost of manufacturing it could be ma
terially reduced, until some method
shall have been discovered by which
aluminium may be soldeTed-a difficulty
which, in spite of all efforts, has not vet
been overcome, and, therefore, for some
purposes 10 which the metal would 9th
erwise be well adapted, it is, as yet, I'M
available.

THE LOCALIZATION OF ARSENIC IN
THE BRAIN.-The important discovery
made few years ago, SAYS the Lancet,
by NM. Gauthier and ScOlosubOff, that
arsenic administered to an animal be-
comes deposited in considerable quanti-
ties in the brain, has suggested to two
French Investigators, NM. CaillOl and
Livon, further series of experiments
for the purpose of ascertaining in what
condition the arsenic is accumulated,
whether as a simple deposit or as an or
ganic compound. The cerebral sub
stance contains two elements-phos-
phorus and nitrogen-with which ar
senic has many common characters.
The three bodies form similar COM
pounds, and in many of these one ele-
menG may be substituted for the other
without affecting the general characters
of the compound. Phosphorus exists in
the brain in the form of lethicine, it is
supposed as phOsphOglyceric acid,
combined with a base-neurine. In the
waste of the brain, lethicine proba-
bly, breaks up, and phOsphoric
acid ultimately results and passes
away by the urine Arsenic
may replace either nitrogen or
phosphorus, and in the former case may
form a compound analogous to neurine,
in which the nitrogen is replaced by ar
senic, and in the latter case the replaced
phosphorus may be expected to be
eliminated in undue quantity, combined
with oxygen or in some organic COM
] pound. The first object of the expert
ments was to ascertain whether the
1 elimination of phosphorus underwent
! any change during the administration OF
arsenic in small doses, which produced
! death in about a month. 1t was found
that during the period of arsenical pois-
oning the quantity of phosphorus
/ eliminated was considerably increased
1t is inferred that this phosphorus must
/ have been turned out of its compounds
of the brain, but it may be thought that
this conclusion is scarcely beyond
criticism, for the eXcretion may be the
result of a morbid state depending or
the presence of deposited phosphorus.

Times Eeportcr---!iis Experience
With Them.
The condition OF the colored refugees at
Atchison, last sunday, was anything but
| agreeab to themselves or the people OF
| Atchison They were visited IN their quar-
ters in the colored Baptist and Methodist
Churches by "A TIMES representative and
Conductor Radclif, of the NJ ssouri Pacific
| 70 d, during the afternoon, and questioned
| TO some extent as 10 their treatment, their
ideas Of the future, etc. At the Baptist a
large number of resident coIored people were
found outside, near the entrance, in the
midst ofs he ,ted religious discussion with a
number of the male refugees for an audience.
Through the kindess of Jerry Wilson the
visitors were shown inside ths church build
| ing. Scattered about over the floor were bales
of quilts, bundles of clothing, half dressed
children, kettles, psns, dogs. scraps of hsr-
| ness, women of all ages, and a few old men,
some of whom were sick. One very Old wo-
man who was half reclining on a bundle of
clothing, chanting some old Southern mel
ody was asked the number sick. She did

with a deep sigh she began TO fl 4 pipe with
lob icco crumbs. At the Methodist church
the scene was much the same, the sick and
wei all togs Their.
Sanders Miller, who was o. this party,
|
had many interviews with reporters, both in
II Louis and AIchison, but had always told
the truth. He said his people had been COM
PEELED 10 make their plans in secret when
they got ready TO leave for the north. He had
seen two colored men hung near Greenville,
Miss because they had been outspOken in
regard 10 their Ill treatment and advised 9TH
ers TO leave. and Il was generally understood
hat when anyone caught distributing
circulars he would be hung. He said he was
willing TO work at anything, but would pre-
fer to do wo k about a house. He then ask
ed If he cosld get a nickel TO buy tobacco
with and Mr. RadclifT gave him half dol
lar.
1hc feeling among the Atchison people is
anything tut pleasant at having such a bur
den on their hands, but they are doing all
they can to make the sufferers comfortable

ment for the county of Clay, tits impossible
to lind in the State, for this little city is the
embodiment and counterpart of enterprise
itself. Her population at the present time
Is not far from two thousand, which is
rapidly increasing, the town having al
mott doubled itself within the past two
years. There is considerable building go
ing on in the business part of the city,
while handsome residences are spriugipg
up on every side. Her merchants are live
men, and enter heart aud soul into any,

statement has been furnished me by Mr.. G..
NJ. Stratten, the postmaster here, for the

showing. and one OF which no town need be
ashamed. Clay Center is an extensive
shipping point, about two thousand car
loads Of grain and farm produce having
foCnd their wsy East from here during the
past year, while
THIS YEARS BUSINESS,
upon sn estimate based upon what has
been done so lar, will be much greater.
The town has several elevators, of good ca
pscity, which are barely able TO accommo-
ds'e the immense amount of grain which is
constantly coming in. The anticipated ex-
tension OF the Central Pacific road from
Onsga TO Clay Center meets with the he arty
approval of everyone, and every effort pos
sible will be put forth to secure it. The
people are vide awake 10 any and every

tie town, and when he little iron pony
knocks at the gate OF the city
IT WILL NOT KNOCK IN VAIN.
Clay Center has good schools and ample
facilities in the way of competent instruct
