TnE Arkansas traveller takes thing easily

July 2, shows one train each way daily

Bluff, 70 miles, at 1865 in the afternoon
Just about 70 miles an hour-glving the

train makes the same time; but this Is too
fast for the 0uachita Division, which
is inland, while the Pine Bluffs
Division may have 10 compete with
the Arkansas river steamers when
that stream is navigable. On the ouachi-
Ia Division FIVE minutes less than three
hours is used inrunning % miles-nearly
nine miles an hour. On this division, too,
the danger OF collision is efIectually olivia
ted by having but one train on the road at
time. 1t goes up Mondays, Wednes-
days and fridays, and returns Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays, Probably with
these trains making train mileage Of 800
miles per week on 95 miles Of road-the
traffic Is carried without difficulty, and it
may DO well to observeth that such service
as this Is infinitely better than none at all,
especially when the wagon roads are as
bad as they are usually in the South and
West.

WATER RATES, by lake, canal and ocean,
have all advanced since rail rates from
Chicago to New York were raised from Is
to 20 cents per 100 lbs. June %. The
canal rates were first to rise, and lake rates
did not advance until about two weeks
ago. They had stood at Il cents bushel
for corn and for wheat for several weeks,
and then advanced to 2 and ct. Canal
rates, which had touched 81 for corn and
% for wheat-the lowest ever known
have advanced to A for corn and for
wheat, and have been firm at those rates
for some time, and last week the
boats were asking further advance OF ]
cent and were offered one Of I cent. The
lowest ocean rates that we remember
ever to have seen were quoted about two
weeks ago, when SID. was accepted
on grain by steam from New York to Liv-
erpool. Now 54d. to SD. are the rates,
though cotton is still sometimes taken at
Id. per pound, or one-half the usual rate.
The fact that there is now very little cot
ton to go forward, while large exports of
grain arc being made, explains the diff
ference.
At current rates, it costs about u cents
q bushel by water and l2 cents by rail to
send a bushel Of wheat from Chicago to
New York, and, naturally, the rail ship
ments are smaller than when the rail rate
was 0! or 8 cents. Buta million Of bush
els at IL cents will doubtless yield more
profit than four millions at u cents. hit
will not, then the cost per ton per mile of
grain shipped from Chicago to New York
Is but about 02 cent. .'

At the time Of the recent death Of Nine.
Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte, we pub
lished some curious extracts from the his
tory and correspondence Of this remarka-
BILE woman. The whole Of her singular
and troublous career Is contained in a
book entitled "Lite and Letters Of Nine.
Bonaparte," Just issued in New York, and
from review OF 1t in the st. Louis Repub-
liean we take some further extracts illus
tratiye Of this singular and eccentric wo-
man. The reviewer remarks that the book,
while 1t will crafty public curiosity, is SO
far from fattering to family pride, that we
wonder its publication was sanctioned by
the relativesof the lady whom it consigns
to unenviable Immortality. Yet most, If
not all, Of the letters must have been
furnished by the family; and her grand
son, Mr.. Charles ]. Bonaparte, revised
the proofs and thereby Endorsed the state
ments contained therein. Two or three
extracts from the correspondence will be
sufficient for our present purpose. The
following was written to her father upon
hearing Of a brothers death:
81 am sorry to hear Of the irreparable
folly which William has permitted. Mar
rymg is almost crime in my eyes, be-
cause am persuaded that the highest de-
gree OF virtue is to abstain from augment

When, however, the lime is applied be-

Therefore, lime may be used in stables
and house privies, or in composing
carcases of dead animals, to advantage:
but if mixed with manure day or two
old, the result is loss of valuable ma

lime is put into compost, it has such

plenty of fresh earth to absorb the es-

A Chapter on Stiugs.

The pain caused by the sting of a
plant or insect is the result of certain
amount of acid poison injected in the
blood. The first thing to be done is to
press the tube of a small key firmly on
the wound, moving the key from side to
side to facilitate the expulsion of the
sting and its accompanying poison.
The sting, if left in the wound, should
be carefully extracted, otherwise it will
greatly increase the local irritation.
The poison of stings being acid, COM
mon sense points to the alkalies as the
proper means of cure. Among the most
easily procured remedies may be men
toned soft soap, liquor of ammonia
(spirits of hartshorn), smelling salts,
washing soda, quick-lime made into a
paste with water, lime-water, the juice
of an onion, tobacco Juice, chewed to-
bacco, bruised dock leaves, tomato juice,
wood ashes, tobacco ash and carbonate
of soda. If the sting be severe, rest and
GOODNESS should be added to the othel
remedies, more especially in the case of
nervous subjects. Nothing is so apt to
make the poison active as heat, and
nothing favors its activity less than cold.
Let the body be kept cool and at rest
and the activity of the poison will be
reduced to a minimum. Any active
exertion whereby the circulation il
quickened will increase both pain and
swelling. If the swelling be severe, the
part may be rubbed with sweet oil or a
drop or two of laudanum. Stings in
the eye, ear, mouth or throat, sometimes
lead to serious consequences; in such
cases medical advice should always be
sought for as soon as possible.-New
York GruDhic.

A former resident of Reno, Nevada,
now stopping in this city, relates an in
cident that came under his observation
in the Sage Brush state that is worthy of
note. One day, "Canty," well-known
character in the employ of the railroad
company, while engaged in coupling cars
at the Reno yard, had his left hand 80
severely crushed that .amputation was
found necessary. Or. Bergman per-
formed the operation, successfully, and
enclosing the dismembered portion in q
box buried it underg round Just back of
his Office. The incident had almost been
forgotten, excepting when "Canty,"
who had meantime become noted as the
one,handed desperate, would call to
mind by anecdote the circumstance.
Some three or four years elapsed from
the time it occurred, when one day q
man observed q dog running past him in
the street, carrying something in its
mouth of unusual appearance. He
picked up stone and hurled it at the

he picked it it "up. His surprise was

Deaths Lieutenant'a,


A wholesale and ready-made burying
and burial-furnishing establishment a:
La Vilette that has monopoly of doing
the dead business" does "roaring
trade" and divides handsome annual
profits to the shareholders in sums of
millions of francs. It is an excellent
institution, combining system and
promptness to a marvellous degree, and
employing thousands of professional
"mourners "-tearful personages ready
made or to order.
The building alone at La Villette has
every appliance, from nearly one thou
sand saddened black horses to millions
of immortelles, that may be required for
every grade of funeral. The men are
trained by periodical lessons in the vari-
Gus expression of "the depth of grief "
suitable for funerals of high and low
degree, and, though they are proverbial
jokers among themselves, a smile or
cheerful expression of face while on duty
would involve immediate Dismissal.
The master of ceremonies, or ordonnateur,
is dramatic parsonage, dressed like the
speaker of the British house of commons,
or superb turnkey in black, with mas
sive steel chain and round cape, in addi-
ton to his black silk stockings, patent
leather shoes and bright steel buckles,
cutaway coat and general court costume.
He moves about with more ease and
grace-and more importance than the
famous prince of pew openers in New
Yorktown. He figures largely in
the bill, as does everything-the grave
being the most expensive item of all.
The only commendable feature of these
ceremonies is CELEBRITY, and the sooner
such are got rid of the better.
