The n. 3 5. E. ny.

A Dayton correspondent of the Cincin- I
natl Commercial of Monday, writes as fol- |
lows on narrow-gauge matters:
Auditor Sprauge, of the Dayton and |
Southeastern Railroad, has made calcU-
lation of the earnings per mile per annum
for the different sections of the road as
they were opened from time to time. 1t
is an interesting statement to all inter-
ested in narrOw-gange roads, and it illus
trates the growth and value of the bus
mess of the road, which railroad authori-
ties will recognize. The first section of
the line opened for business was from
Nenia to Washington C. H, d distance of
3O.3 miles, November 28, 1876; June l,
| 1877, the section from Dayton to Aenia
was added, making 4S.7 miles, and No
/ vember l, 1877, the section from Wash
| ington to Musselman's was opened, max
| ing a total of 69.7 miles from that date.
! The following are the earnings per
mile per annum:
First period to June l. 1877, on 3o.3 miles $500 90
Second period to November /, 1871, on 49,
Third period to August !, 1877. on 30
Fourth period to April l. 1s79 on 69.7 miles LOO 90
During the last period the road has
| been under the management of the re-
cefyer, Mr.. Gimperling.
The total earnings of the road for the
month of March were $8, ,486 Sc, and the
/ expenses Tor the same peflOtt are $0,Z0o o4.
The arrangements for completing the
line to Chillicothe, and thence on to Wells
ton, the central point of the jackson
county coal mines, are now completed
In Chillieothe particularly capitalists and
the public at large are beginning to un-
derstand more fully the real value of the
road to them. Under the careful man
agement of Mr.. Gimperling; the conf
dence in the road is becoming fully re
$ stored, and it tjustifies that policy adopted
by President Mead, which was to oper
the road gradually, as means permitted
! instead of constructing the entire line re
e gardless of consequences, which mus
have resulted as disastrously as it ha
with the Springfield, Jackson and Pom
: eroy, in sinking the road under a deb
n from which it could not recover. As
c is, Mr.. Gimperling is now contracting fo
the supply of iron to complete the roa
as at first intended. A new narrow
e gauge is projected from Wellston to tn
e Ohio River, and stockholders of the Day
n ton and Southeastern are becoming con
fident of the increased value of their stoc
at an early date.

IF the National Board of Health pro-
poses to accomplish much, it is about time
that operations were commenced. The
Lower Mississippi is levied with negroes
for many miles, and if the warm weather
should develop the yellow fever among
them, the scourge would not only sweep
them out of existence, but acquire such
and impetus that it would be impossible
to control it, or keep it from depopulat-
ing the cities and towns of the South, and
maybe those of the North too. It is to be
hoped that Congress can be prevailed up
on to devote some little time to this mat
ter, and provide whatever funds may be
necessary Gin. Gazette.

NO TIME LIKE THE OLD TIME.

There is no time like the old time
When yOu and were young,
When the buds Of April blossomed,
And the birds Of spring-time sungi
The garden 5 brightest glOries
By summers suns are nuFsed-
But eh, the sweet, sweet Eiolets.

There Is no place like the old place.
Where you and were born,

On the GpiendoEE OF the morn,
From the miik-White breast that warmed US,
From the ciinging arms that bore.
W here the dear eyes giistened Ger US,
That viii look on rs no more.
There is no friend like the old friend
That has shared our morning days;
No greeting like his welcome,
No homage like his praise;
Fame Is the scentiess sunfiOWer.
With CANDY crown Of gold;
But friendship is the breathing rose.
With sweets in every fold.
There is no love like the old love
That we courted in our pride:
Though our leaves are falling. falling,
And we're fading side by side,
There are blossoms all around US,
With the colOrs of our dawn,
And we live in borrowed sunshine,
When the light Of day is gone.
There are no times like the old times
They shall never be forgot!
There is no place ike the. old place
Keep green the dear old spot!
There are no friends like the old friends
MAY heaven prolOng their lives!
There is no loves like our old loves
God bless our loving wives!

FOR THE CURE OF
Dvs7zrsIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

DAIN in the right side, under the edge
/ of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the left side;
the patient is rarely able to lie on the
left side; sometimes the pain is felt
under the shoulder blade, and it fre-
Quently extends to the top of the shoul-
der, and is sometimes mistaken tor |
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach |
is affected with loss of appetite and |
sickness; the bowels In general are
costive. sometimes alternative with lax:
the head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation IN
the back part There is generally a
considerable loss Of memory, accom-
panied with painful sensation of hav-
ing left undone something which ought
to have been done A slight, dry cough
is sometimes an attendant. The patient
complains of WEAKNESS and debility; he
is easily startled, his feet are cold or
burning, and he complains of a prickly
sensation of the skin; his spirits are
low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up fort-
tude enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease, but
cases have occurred where few of them
existed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.

The Communists of Chicago turned out
in military array on Monday last, to the
number of four hundred, backed by seven
hundred unarmed supporters and SYM
pathizers. They distributed hand-bills
denouncing the militia bill now pending
acy to overthrow the Republic cemented
by the blood of our fathers" The Chi
cago Times thereupon remarks that as
'tninety-nine hundredths of the crowd
were recent importations, it may be
thought that the bloood of their forefath-
ers used in the construction of this Re
public wonld be difficult to trace. But it
must be remembered that there were sew
eral regiments of2Hessians engaged in the
Revolutionary War-On the wrong side.
Perhaps that fact accounts for the blood
in the mortar" The point is well taken.

Terrible Experience of a Burglar.

A singularly painful and sad expert
ence has been that of a burglar who has
been emulating the exploits of Mr.. Peace
at Sheffield. The plunder seeker deter
mined to enter pawn brokers' shop by
the chimney. Descending to within six
feet of the fireplace he stuck fast, how
ever, and, despite all his efforts, failed to
get free. For four long hours he strug-
gled in vain, and then the servant of the
paWnbroker came and lighted the fire be-
meath. Then the roasting of the burglar
began. What kind of sensations the rob-
Der experienced we are led to imagine; all
that is known is that, after there hours of
torture, his groans became so oaudible that
the proprietor of the place heard them,
and sending for the police and a builder,
did the best he could to extIicate the
thief. This proved, however, to be no
easy matter, for before the entrapped ras-
cal could be rescued the brick work had
to be taken down. When found, the
miserable man was imbedded fl: mly,
''crying fearfully.'' His mouth and eyes
were filled with SCOT, and he was "dread-
fully scOrched;'' and he died immediate
ly after he was taken out.

Those unfortunate people who are af-
ficted with nerves are to be greatly pit
led; for they suffer so much from imag-
mary terrors as though they were real.
Absurd as it seems, there are plenty of
people living at this moment who would
warmly refuse to go to bed before look
ing under it to make sure that no man
lay there. There are others who pass the
night in constant fear of fire; who, be-
fore they withdraw to their bed-cham-
bers, carefully rake out every fireplace
in the house, turn off the gas, inspect
every room, and even after all this both
er, suffer agonies the night through.
Others lay awake in the expectation of
burglars. Others will be kept awake by
the song of the wind, fancying it hu-
man cry. These are some of the hum
dred night fears beyond an Imagination
to express. But there are daylight fears
as numerous, if not always so agonizing.
What words can convey the horror felt
by certain kind of nervous people who,
making journey on a railway, are sud-
ldenly brought to a stand in tunneli
Nothing can comfort them. Their heads
shoot through the windows, their cries
lacerate gloom, and the reassuring shouts
of the guard only aggravate their frigh
and provoke fresh yells for immediate re
lease. Or take the mental condition O
another kind of nervous persons at sea
Every roll of the vessel means imminen

people are liable to, and for which the.
receive so little sympathy from thei
stronger minded neighbors.

Edison has at last adopted the use of
his own electric lights in his own shops
The light is described as very brilliant,
and he says the cost will be less than
half that of gas. The New York Herald
says:
''The results are certainly startling,
as compared with gas, as they show that
gas must be made and stored in the gas
ometer at fifteen and half cents for each
thousand feet to compete with mis- system,
with possibility of further reduction
by improvement. In one of Edison's
electric burners equal to sixteen candles
there is consumed $50 foot pounds per
minute, whereas gas jet of equal power
consumes 4s, 900 foot pounds, or eighteen
times more energy to produce the same
effect as is produced by the electric light -
