Senator Perry has given notice that

Senator Perry has given notice that
he will introduce two bills in the present
session of the Legislature with reference
to railroad corporations, to-wit: An act
to compel railroad companies to fence in
their tracks; and an act to regulate a
tariff of travel and freights upon all
roads within the state. As such laws
exist in nearly all the states, we think it
very proper and just that similar regu>
lations should be adopted hero. As
Corporations have no soul' they there
fore have no conscience; hence well de-
fined laws should be passed to restrain
their greed, and to enforce principles of
Justice and fairness between them and
the people. We hope the bills will pass.

Gen. Abe Buford, recently converted to
Christianity, is one of the most noted of Ken
lucky horse breeders and racers. He recently
announced that he had sold all his fast horses
though he did not believe that continuing to
own and drive them would be incon sistent
with Christian life. He was aware, how
ever, that the world held different view OF
the subject, and he was willing TO give up his
own conviction. He thought that the i'm.
provement of American horses was only to be
brought about by training. and to train prop

A train of ten cars, each fitted up
with separate stalls for sixten cattle,
recently carried 100 head from Chi
cago to Boston in three and a half
days, the shrinkage per head being
only 214 pounds average, or about
one fourth the usual loss. The stalls
were provided with springs to pre-
vent serious jarring, and with water
and feed-troughs. The saving in
shrinkage under this humane system
compensates, it is said, for the high
est cost of carriage.

PRACTICABLE IFoRMATIoN.-It is
always well to know what to do in case
of accident: For dust in the eyes, avoid
rubbing; dash water in them: remove
cinders, etc, with the round point of a
lead pencil, Remove water from the
ear with tepid water; never put hard
instrument in the ear. If an artery is
cut compress above the wound; if a
vein is cut compress below. Ifchoked,
get upon all tours an cough. For slight
burns, dip the part in cold water; if the
skin is destroyed, cover with varnish.
Smother Ere with carpets, etc; water
will often spread burning oil, and in
crease the danger. Before passing
through smoke, take a full breath and
then stoop low, but if carbon is suspect
ed, walk erect. Suck poisoned wounds,
unless your mouth is sore; enlarge the
wourd, or better, cut out the part with
out delay; hold the wounded part as
long as can be borne to hot coal or
end of a cigar. In case of poisoning,
excite vomiting by tickling the throat,
or by warm water and mustard. For
acid poisons, give alaklies; for alkaline
poisons give acids. white of egg is good
in most cases; in case of plum poison
ing give strong coffee and keep moving.
Fin water, float on the back, with the
nose and mouth projecting. For Apo
plexy. raise the head and body; for
fainting, lay the person fiat.

HOUSE, FARM AND FIRESIDE.

EARLY D1vIDENDs.-Capitalists are
fond of buying stock that yields div
idands,. and are quite content to get
bonds that will pay four or five per
cent annually. A neighbor of ours
spread barrowful of manure taken
from under the floor of horse stable
about the middle of April. The man
ure or earth had received the urine
of horse for some months, and rep
resented the value Of that commodity.
It was spread on about square rod
Of old meadow, that had received no
manure for dozen years or more.
The grass took fresh start soon af
ter the application, and clearly defin-
ed the dressed plat by its dark green
and luxuriant growth. On the goth
of June, the grass is SO heavy that it
is partly lodged and ready for the
scythe. The yield of grass is GER
tainly quadrupled by the top-dress-
ing. Sixty days 'front.' the date of the
investment he has dividend worth
at least one-half the value of the
manure. He will get second crop
this season, which makes another
dividend. The sod belowis enriched
with a great growth of grass roots,
which is an increase of capital, and
will continue to give fair dividends
for several years to come. He is so
we'll pleased with this springs in
vestment, that he has enlarged the
area of top-dressing on the meadow,
and applied fresh manure from. the
stable made up. of leaves and horse
and COW dung on the goth of June.
The grass cut on this plot was very
thin, certainly less than half ton to
the acre. He confidently expects q
dividend from this investment in
about sixty days and permanent in
crease of capital. Now is it not much
better for cultivasor to put his cap
ital upon his own land, under his
own supervision, and get good divi-
dends, early and often, than to in
vest in railroads, steamboats,, facto-
ries, or wall street? Investing at
home, he knows just what he is
about, and with an average expendi-
ture of brain and muscle he can COM
mand early dividends and keep them
coming. The farm is q machine to
make money. Let us keep it in good
repair. and turn out the dollars.

Those contemplating tripwestward
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. Colonists are carried in first
class cars on fast trains, and every
possible care is taken to insure comfort
and convenience. By the Baltimore
and Ohio only is the choice of routes
offered to the west, via st. Louis or
Chicago, and in either case, trains run
through without change of cars. Di-
rect connection is made at both cities
with all leading lines to the west,
northwest and southwest, and there is
but single change of cars to Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota
etc. No other line can offer such adj
vantages as the Baltimore and Ohio.
1t costs but very little time and trou-
BILE to learn this, and in the end may
lead to the saving of much of both as
well as money. Above all things do
not purchase tickets before having a
