a New Railway Feature.

The novelty of trip on the new ex.
press is enhanced by the serving of meals
on board, feature which was necessary
to save the time usually consumed by
the "15 minutes for refreshments" On
tha train from New York the conductor
of the sleeping cars solicits orders for
dinner while the train Is tearing up the
Hudson at the rate of 40 miles an hour.
He presents each passenger with e bill
of fare and blank. The former con-
tains several combinations Of cold and
warm lunches, the prices of which are
40 and so cents respectively. For 40
cents the passenger can order two large
sandwiches, trso hard boiled eggs, q cut
of pie, bread, and butter and pickles. or
one of several other combinations which
include pork and beans, ham, chicken
wing &c. The warm lunch, which is 10
cents extra, includes piece OF steak or
other warm meat. Wines and aies can
also be ordered at extra cost. The
prices are surprisingly reasonable, the
railroad company having them under
supervision. The passenger makes out
his order by simply noting on his blank
the name of his car, the number of his
seat and the number of the combination
lunch. These are collected by the con-
ductor. When the train halts at Albany
at about noon, walters come on board
carrying each passengers order in a
separate basket, which is arranged in
compartments. Tive napkins, knives,
forks and spoons, are nicely stored in
receptacles for the purpose. The weit-
ers arrange the tables in the cars, spread
q cloth and serve the dinners. The pas.
senger has the time between Albany
and Utica to banquet. At Utica
the walters clear the tables and
disappear This plan is said to
work perfectly, giving the highest satis-
faction to the travelling public.

DOES HER Own WoRK,-Does her

it any disgrace? Is she any less true
woman, less worthy of respect than che
who sits in silks and satins, and il vain
of fingers that never labor? We listened
10 person the other day, who, speaking
of newly. welded wife, said, sneering.
y: '"Oh, she dces her own r-ork." The
words and the toLe in whi,a they were
uttered, betokened narrow, ignoble
mind, better fitted for any place than
country whose institutions rest on hon.
ored labor as one of the chief corner.
stones. They evinced false idea of the
true womanhood of genuine nobility
They showed the detestable spirit of
caste or rank, which a certain class are
trying to establish-a caste whose sole
foundation is money, which is the weak
eat kind OF rank known TO civilization.
Mind, manners, morals, all that enters
into good character, are of no account
with these social snobs. Position in
their stilted ranks is bought with gold,
and every additional dollar Is another
round in the ladder by which elevation
is gained in their esteem aud society.

Hon. Iefrcrson Davis.

Miss Lucy V. Caldwell, an ac-
complished young lady of this city,
and valedictOrian of the class of
graduates at the recent commence
ment of the Female Academy,
beautifully illustrated a point in
her well-written essay, by the fol-
lowing touching referance and just
tribute to the Hon. Jefferson Da-
Wis:
This motto emphasizes success,
and counts not the long list of those
who fight and fall, or those who
fight and fail. 81 am convinced"
said a great general, "that he is not
the braVest man who fights well,
nor he who dies well, but your true
hero is he who fights well for a
good cause, sees the cause die while
he must live on and endure"
Many such a hero walks unseen be-
side us; their names no poet
weaves in deathless song or story,
and they must wait until the end.
"IIeedless or praise of blame they work,
And leave the rest 20 God
And leading the hosts of such he
roes, you will permit Southern
girl to mention the name or our
fallen chief, the Hon. Jefferson Da-
Wis, in whose way fair hands used
to scatter flowers, and whose prais-
es were sounded all over the South,
but because he began and did not
end, there have been so few 10 do
him reverence. Brave leader of our
noble chivalry-for the order is not
dead-let me on this our festal day
Irvine for you a wreath more pre-
cious than that worn by the Caesars
or the House of Hanover. While
others have betrayed us and barter
ed patriotism, thou hast rescued
from infamy the memory of the
brave men who yielded up their
lives in the Lost Cause. Noble
knight, worthy hast thou worn the
"Silver Shield" and illustrated
that
"Honor and fame from no condition rise'
Act well your part, there all honor lies"
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1881-06-11

In passing through the extensive
furniture and undertaking estab-
lishment of Mr.. John +. Couts, the
other day, our attention was par
ticularly called to a new design in
the way of burial vaults which we
think is the best invention of the
kind ever devised for the more eff
fectual preservation of the body for
reinterment, as we'll as for the bet
ter keeping of the casket and body
from decay and vernun in its perma-
anent resting place. 1t is called
"Duttons Self-sealing Burial Vault,
and is the first design of the kind ev-
er brought to GAINESVILLE. 1t consists
of metal box, conveniently ar
ranged for handling, and is thickly
lined with hydraulic cement with
a groove around the sides by which
it is made self-sealing and perfectly
air-tight. 1t is an invention which
fills a long felt want, and is destin-
ed to supersede all temporary
vaults and cedar chests for the pres
ervation of corpscs. 1t can be had
in all sizes.

o'clock, in their regular monthly
session. Owing to the repairs and
repaintIng going on at the City
Hall, the board met at tho Office of
Esquire II. d. Read, the city re-
corder. Much routine business, in
the shape of the regular monthly re-
ports of the different standing COM
mittees and the city officers, was
transacted, but the business of the
most immediate Importance to the
citizens was the conference which
the Beard had. with a committee
from the Board of Health, in regard
TO the city's general health, and the
subject OF public nuisances in par
ticular, more especially the ponds
round about the city. DIR. Beau
mont, of the Board of Health, re-
ported that the Board had found
that the Mcdaniel pond and the
McFall generally known as the
"double'D pond were public nui-
sances, and urged their abatement.
The committee appointed at for
mer meeting of the board to get the
permit of Mrs. DR.. McReynolds to
drain the Mcdaniel pond into the
old well on her lot, reported that
she was perfectly willing to permit
the city to do this, if they would
give her an indemnity bond OF
$4,000 against any damage to her
property accruing thereby. This
the Board agreed to do. A bond or
contract was drawn up, but owing
to some ambiguity as to the length
of time the city should be allowed
to use the well, in case it should
have it cleaned out and repaired,
the question was again referred to
the committee. 1t is safe to say,
however, that the city will be
granted the use of this we'll, and
that the pond will be speedily
drained. There can be little doubt
but that this well will carry off the
water effectively, after it is proper
ly cleaned out, as it did so for fif-
teen or twenty years prior to the
time it was stopped up a few years
ago. 1t is creditable to the Board,
and cheerful news to the citizens,
to say that they have determined
upon the removal of both of these
pestilential nuisances. They ought |
not to leave anything undone to
carry out this intention, for the
and stencil that floats from
these ponds rises aloft and insults
high Heaven.
1T will be pleasing to most of our
citizens to know that the city has
also appropriated 81, 900 to build an
IS inch sewer from Cumberland |
river up Commerce street to First
Cross street, and tho county agrees
to build it from that point to the
new courthouse. This is long
felt need of our city and will per-
manentIy and ellectually assist in
its proper drainage. The present |
Board of Mayor and Aldermen are
doing good work.
