STAMFORD AND THE RAILROAD
COMMISSIONERS.

Leland Stanford, President of the
Central Pacific Railroad, appeared the
other day before the meeting Of the Rail
road Commissioners and informed them
that they had not the power or right to
fix a tariff for freights for either the Cen
trail Pacific road or the Southern Pacific,
as both the roads were operating under a
charter granted by the Federal Govern
ment. Stanford claims that the law re-
ferring to the regulation Of fares by the
Commission applied only to railroads OPP
Grating under a charter granted by the
State. The Commission were politely in
formed by Leland Stanford that if they
undertook to regulate the schedule for
either the Central Pacific or Southern
Pacific, he would obtain an injunction
from the United States Circuit Court.

It can no longer be doubted that the
s;tuation in Ireland has passed the stage
of mere grumbling discomfort, and those
are s~hort.sighted indeed who do not fore
zee that the final and desperate struggle
between nationality and aforeign power
controlling its legislation, its finances. its
interests and its very existence as a peo-
nile. is imminent. The term agitator has
today lost its power to brand and pro-
scribe men who, however unwisely, are
earnestly and, as they believe, honestly
and periodically striving to shake off a
woke which has become uncomfortable. 1t
may--nay, it is quite certain-that the
Numbering elements of F~enianism have
been quickened into active participation
in the present movements, but those ele-
ments, crude as they were--and violent
because crude-merely foreshadowed the
less rugged and more energetic, protest
against total subjugation which is now In
progress. 1t might not be too late even
re
vet to stay the tide of revolt by conced-
ing a Territorial Parliament, though it
would have been much more effectual
had it been granted at an earlier period.
If this offer is not made, or if it should
not be accepted. nothing but a hand-to-
hand struggle, resulting in the indie
pendence or depopulation of Ireland, APP
pears possible. England cannot afford a
chronic state Of revolt on her very bor-
ders, and Ireland will never passively sub
nit to British rule so long as a remnant
of the present feeling exists. The secret
.watchwords are, undoubtedly, independ-
ence at any cost, or universal exodus.
We on the outside can only look on and
trust that wise counsels and moderation
will prevail.

A NEVADA paper has intimated that the
Republican State Senators could. by alb
septing themselves, prevent an organization
OF the Legislature this winter and conse-
quently prevent the election Of a United
States Senator to succeed Mr.. Sharon, of
California. = Candelaria True Fissure.
No danger Of any such thing. Several
Of the Republican Senators have ex-
pressed a willingness to vote for Colonel
Fair if needed. Members thus favorable
to his election would not be apt to join
in a movement having for its object his
defeat. There will be no trouble about
a quorum from the first day right through
the session.

Money Won't Do It.

Money can secure so much and gives so
many directions, such freedom to the will,
and so much concrete reality to the fancy,
chat the man who possesses it frets when
he perceives that his power will in other
directions do so little. He feels like po-
tentate who is stopped by some object
quite trifling, but quite immovable; or a
magician whose genius does not obey him
except to secure ends which he is Just then
seeking to obtain.
Money, for example, will purchase allie
viations for pain, skilled attendance. good
advice and soft beds, but it will not pur-
chase the dismissal of the pain itself. If
you have cancer, millions are no help.
A millionaire may have toothache, and
in toothache feel on account of the money,
which places all dentists at his command,
an additional pang.
'sHere am I, who can buy all the help
there is, and of what use is that to my
pain?" ga
The sense that the money will aid Volt
ton in so many ways deepens into pain,
when it is OF the kind in which money is
poWerless, as it is in almost all serious
questions of health. The Marquis of
Steyne is not the less aggrieved by his liza
bllity to madness because he is so very
rich, but the more aggrieyed, as a man
who knows his own strength to be unu-
sual and finds it just insufficient.
That habitual complaint of the rich.
that money will not buy affection or hap
piness, or even immunity from pain, has
in it something of irritation as well as of
pathos, land often comes from an inclination
to contend, as of one who is unjustly depriv
ed Of something. 4l.Hl ta
The workers have need to be solicitous
about health, but tits the rich who coddle
themselves; and the reason is not so much
the passion for comfort as the additional
sense of the value of health, which their
inability to buy with money brings home
to them more clearly than to other men.
A rich man who wanted water, say in
shipwreck, and could not get it, would
feel in his riches, if he thought of them at
all, an addition to the pain of his despair;
and there are wants nearly as urgent as
water, toward which money gives just as
little aid. 99 ae 4alH -W-

What an Old Farmer SAYS.

This is the advice of an old man who has
titled the soil for forty years:
Il lam an old man, upwards of three score
years, during two scores of which I have
been tiller of the soil. 1 cannot say that
l am now, but have been rich and have
all need, do not owe a dollar, have given
my children a good education, and when /
am called away will leave enough to keen
the wolf from the door. My experience
has taught me that:
L. One acre of land well prepared and
well cultivated, produces more than two
which received only the same mount of
labor used on one. Ies
i 2. One COW, horse, mule, sheep or hog
we'll fed. is more profitable than two kept
on the same amount necessary to keep one
well. iGl e
8. One acre Of clover or grass is worth
more than two Of cotton where no grass or
clover is raised. -
4. No farmer who buys corn, oats or
wheat, fodder and hay, as rule, for ten
years, can keep the sheriff away from the
door in the end.
5. The farmer who never reads the pa
pers, sneers at book farming and improve
ments, always has leaky roof. poor stock,
broken down fences, and complains of bad
seasons 4e
g 6. The farmer who is above his business
and entrusts it to another to manage, soon
has lO business to attend to. a
Z. The farmer whose habitual beverage
is cold water, is healthier, wealthier and
wiser than he who does not refuse to
drink. FL t5o@ ~

A Pleasant Girl.

A traveller in Norway, last summer, came
to village early one morning, and was
struck by the air of gloom which peryaded
the street. Unable to speak a word of the
language, he could not ask the cause OF
this and concluded that some sickness or
financial trouble had fallen upon the COM.
munity. AS the day wore toward noon,
however, the houses were closed, shop win
dows we're covered, all trade and business
ceased. It was death, then! Presently
he saw the people gathering for the funeral.
There were the village officials. the noble
man from the neighboring chateau, and
apparently every man, woman and child in
the village. It must be some dignitary of
the church who was dead, OF some country
official. AS he stood watching the crowds
passing down the little rocky street, he
caught sight of the face of a German known
to him. He beckoned to him.

It is singular fact that, when we reach
middle life and look back, it is not the
beautiful, nor the brilliant, nor the famous
people whom we have known that we re-
member with the keenest regret, but some
simple, sincere, pleasant soul, whom we
treated as an every day matter while she

even into ball room and the woman who
has the most friends there, as rule, is not
the belle, nor the wit. nor the heiress, nor
the beauty; but some homely, charming
little body whose fine tact and warm heart
never allow her to say wrong word in a
wrong place.
The pheasant women" are the attraction
that everywhere hold society and homes
together. Any woman, however poor or
ugly, may be one of them; but she must
first be candid, honorable, unselfsh and
loving. If she is these the world will be
better and happier for every day of her
life, and as in the case of this poor Norwe-
gian, it will ''seem darker when she is
dead.' m - W,.3s

Mrs. oysters Romance.

Mrs. Sims's boarding school was high
building and it stood on hill. My room
was in it's third story, and l had often sat
looking out over the city from its ''sight-
ly'' windows, as Peggy, the maid, called
them. The hill was nearly conical in
shape and terraced on two sides, my side
being one of them. At the foot of the hill
ran broad, handsome street, and on a
prominent corner of this street, in plain
sight from my windows, stood a large,
rambling old mansion, about which we
girls have woven many a romance. We
wondered who lived there. Ladies and
gentlemen promenaded through it's pleas
ant grounds, carriages rolled up to its
wide gateway many times every day; pro-
fessional looking gentlemen went in and
out of IT.. What could it be-?
One day found out. There was great
excitement that day in Mrs. Simss board
g-school: I had been feeling ill for some
days. My head ached and my tongue was
dry and hot. The doctor said at last that

scratched his head thoughtfully. At last
he said: II have it! Here's Dr. Dolby s
hospital right down here-just the place
for her. So was wrapped up and driven

FARM AND PRESIDE.

The VALUE OF MILK AND L1MEWA-
TER.-Dr. E. N. Chapman has presented
to the Medical Society of the State Of New
York, some valuable notes on The use OF
milk and imewater for inyalids. He says
he has used milk and limeWater for years
as diet for his patients with great sue
cess, particularly in cases involving nerve
centres, that are acknowledged to be little
under the command of accepted modes OF
treatment, such, for instance. as metas-
mus, anaemia, paralysis, indigestion, neu-
ralgia, cholera, dementia and alcoholism.
Also in cases where nutritive functions
are at fault, milk, with pinch of salt,
being rendered very acceptable to the
stomach by the lime, is the most digestible
and nourishing food that can be given. It

offers duly prepared chyls to the absor-
bents, supplies the blood with all the ele-
ments of nutrition, Institutes healthy It's
sue changes, stimulates the secreting and
excreting glands and. in a word, provides
nature with material to sustain herself in
her contest with disease. If it be conce-
ded that nature always accomplishes tn 9
cure whenever it is secured, and that
drugs merely aid, direct or modify her
efforts to that end. 1t must be self-evident
that the food, which supplies the vital
forces with all the power Of resistance they
possess, is matter of the first Importance,
and'that milk, acted on by lime, provided
it contains all the essential properties Of
other articles epitomized, and is more
friendly than all or any of them, has a
range of application almost as extensive as
disease itself, whatever its character or

Do Nor GOssIP.-That person is to be
pltied-for what he lacks by nature or has
missed in experience-w can see the
course of true love without his heart Civ
ing the lovers his gladdest benediction.
But no one can give better proof Of vul-
gar taste than by making love affairs of
young people the subject of flippant or IA
miliar talk, especially in their presence.
Irritation that has no heart in it, and pup
pyish love making that has no head in it, ARE
entitled to no special consideration. But
any true attraction between a young man
and young woman so touches the hottest
experience of life, that none but rude hands
will tear the veil away from it, or drag it
from it's privacy into giggling gossip. We
abominate the gushing people who wea.
their hearts on their sleeves, but we too
often seem to think it quite the thing to
lay-hold of the sensitive friendship that
we see blooming into love, and toss it up
in conversation, land joke about it, as if it
were Just as ft a target for the town talk
as cattle trade, or concert, or lawsuit.

LET THE BOYS GROW SMALL FRUITs.-
Boys on farms, like boys in other places,
want spending money, and are often sorely
troubled to obtain it. They scarcely like
to ask their parents for money to buy arti-
cles that please their fancy, and they have
few opportunities to work out, for when
neighboring farmers wish to hire help.
there is plenty Of work on the farms where
they belong. Their best chance to earn
their money appears to be in cultivating
some crop at home that requires small cap
ital to engage in. q small amount of land
for it's production, but which produces
considerable amount Of money. The small
fruits are excellent in these respects. They
may be set out at times when the soil 10
too wet to be of good advantage, and may
be cultivated at odd hours when there is
little to do in the fields. They require but
a small amount of land, and produce more
from an acre than any farm crop. There
fore give the boys chance to make lit.
tie pocket money by cultiyating small
fruits. ....s.
