WHILE certain parties in Illinois are
clamoring for the adjustment Of our board
of Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners
as many rs five other states Of the Union
are providing for the creation of such
boards. A bill has been reported back by
the Missouri Senate committee on Internal
Improvements providing for the creation of
a board of three Railroad Commissioners, to
serve six years, it being made their duty to
exercise general supervision over the con
structon, maintenance, operation and gen
cral management of ali the railroads of
Missouri. In urging the establishment of
such a commission a member declared with
much truth that the mere existence Of such
a board, standing as it did, between the
people and the great railroad corporations,
with power in ITS hands to bring the moral
force of the whole State to its aid in the
vindication Of the rights Of the people,
would have a restraining effect upon rail
road corporations that would be worth to
the people, ten times the cost of the com
mission. While railroad corporations
view with contempt the complaints and
puny resentments Of Il single individual,
they respect and fear the whole people, as
represented in the Railroad Commissioners.
Saving in the voice Of few carpers in III
inois, mostly in the southern portion, there
is heard no cutlery against such commits
sions anywhere. They have been establish
ed in thirteen or fourteen States oe the
Union already, and nowhere, outside OF
Illinois, the greatest railroad State in the
Union, is any desire expressed to get rid of
them.

CLEOPATRA DYING

From the worlds imperial station,
Have dragged thee down to hell

Wings my soul its flight to thee!
Cesar shall not grace his triumph
With proud Egypts captive queen
Soothed to sleep by aspic kisses,
Soon my heart on thine shall lean.
Soon my life, like Lotus blossoms,
Swift shall glide on Charon's stream;
Clnsped once more in thy embraces,
Love shall prove ON endless dream.

They have struck my Charmion dead

None shall meet lis smile before me,
None within his arms repose;

None shall share his burning kisses

The fact that New England was the nur

SECOND THoUGHrs.-A young laly was
addressed by man, who, though agreeable
to her, was disliked by her father, who
would not consent to their union, and she
determined to clope. The night was fixed,
the hour came, he placed ladder to the
window aud in few moments she was in
his arms They mounted and werc soon
some distance from the house. After some
time the lady broke the silence by saying :
well, you see what proof [ have given
you of my affection | hope you will make
a good husband" He was n surly fellow,
and grufiy answered: perhaps l may.
and perhaps not" She made no reply,
but after silence of some minutes, she
suddenly exclaimed: ooh what shall we
do? 1 have left my money behind in my
roomw Then" said he, "we must so
back and fetch it." They were soon
again at the house, the ladder was again
placed, the lover remained below But she
delayed to come and so he gently called !:

of the window and said: "Perhaps l may,
and perhaps not" and then shut down the

zeal value If all soils were exactly alike,
having the samc exposure and protection,
subject to the ssiSo>climatc, and the same
amount of rainfalN>Nt exactly the same

nifty of an exact science. One set of exper-

far as concerned their own avocat.on, would
become mere machines, or even less in the
social scale Brains would be of no value,
and the fool Of the family would do as we'll
as the genius on the farm.
Fortunately, however, the soil is various
and must be treated with brains, or it fails
to produce. Business men never trust any
one until inquiries have been made into his
standin. and his ability to fulfill his prom
iscs. Farmers, however, never think Of in
