FACTS.

Those contemplating trip westward
will certainly do well to carefully con.
suit the time tables of the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to insure aomfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change of
cars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
but single change of cars to Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota.
etc. No other line can offer such advan-
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-Its
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this, and in the end may lead
to tie saving of much of both as well as
money. Above all things do not pur-
chase tickets before having talk or re-
ceiving letter from one of the B. & o.
Agents. A letter addressed to W. E.
Reppert, Columbus, Ohio; to T. Lane,
Wheeling. W. Va, to J A. Webb, Fos-
toria, Ohio; to T A. Lee GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, or call upon either of these gen.
tlemen will lead to thorough informa-
tion as to all necessary details of time
connections, fares. baggage, etc., etc.

The He'll of the HindOos.

The Hindoo idea of hell is different
from those set forth in the confessions
OF faith and creeds of most of the de
nominations of Christianity. Punish
ments for the most part are in the way
of transformations into unpleasant crea-
lures Those who have been iruukards
on earth are in tue next world changed
into frogs. This ought to be regarded
as an improvement rather than punish
ment, for q frog is cold water animal
of commendable habits, and never goes
staggering around with a red nose oil
bloted face. Dissenters from The true
faith are turned into snakes. Backbiters
are changed to tortoises, and mlsers to
cranes, which seems infelicitous, as the
crane is one of the few creatures ths
can conveniently bite its own back, anG
the tortoise, with its ability for shutting
up, would serve as 1T emblem of the
miser's strong box. Flesh eaters are tc
be eagles; thieves are to be deprived o.
the power of hearing, and debtors are
to be bullocks. The last transmogri6
cation probably has reference to thu
way in which poor debtors are some
times slaughtered by their creditors in
the present life. The Hindoo hell does
not include the notions of birthstone
and continuous comhustion.

A Difficult Problem Solved.

Ambition, competition and over-exer.
ton use up the vital powers Of men
and women, so that desire for stimu-
lants seems to be natural human pas

OF this necessity for bodily and mental
invigoration. Parker's Ginger Tonic
fairly solves the difficult problem, and
