The frequency of collisions OH rail
roads has raised the question, which is
the place of greatest security on rail-
road train? The Railroad Journal gives
the following as an answer: 1t is
well known that the car nearest the en-
CINE is exposed to the least dust, and
that the rear car of train is generally
safer than the front car The safest is
probably the last car but one in train
of more than two cars; that, is, there
are fewer chances for accidents to this
than any other. If it is way train at
moderate speed, or any train standing
still, a collision Is possible from another
train in the rear, in which the last car
receives the first shock. Again the
engine and front cars of train will
Otter run over a broken rail, or COW,
oi stone, without detriment, while the
last car, having nothing to draw it into
the line of the train, is free to leave
the track. Next to the forward car.
the rear car is probably the most I'M
safe in the train. The safest seat is
probably near the center of the last car
but one, and in a very long train in the
centers of the last two or three cars
next to the last.

About two m onths after the Chicapo
convention the idea Of having a media,
struck to commemorate the steady yot-
| ing of the Grant phalanx originated
, with Don Cameron, apd consultation
was held between r. Conkling, C. i
Filley and others, and finally order
was given to J. M. Kirshaw. of this
city, to strike $50 bronze medals. The
matter was to be kept profound Sc
cret, and Kirshaw was enioined to he
silent. He has been working on the
medals for several months, and they
are now completed; and within few
days they will be sent to Chauncey |. Fill
ley, at Washington, who will superin-
tend the distribution. The medals are
of bronze, perfect, two and three
fourth of an inch in diameter, three
sixteenth of an inch thick, and weigh
nearly one pound. On the center of
the face is a profile head of Gen. Grant;
underneath and extending partial
| ly around the head is a
wreath of laurel and oak leaves.
Around this is slightly raised circle,
outside OF which is a record of the
Gran1ballot arranged in complete cir
Gle, the number of each ballot and vote
cast being set down in a separate space.
The record begins at the exact center
of the bottom when the medal is held
In proper position and comprises the
361 ballots which wavered from 302 to
313 between the FIRST and thirteth bal
lot, which meet at the bottom of the
ring. A star is engraved after the
seventeenth, which reaches a point
Numerically opposite the star. The
numbers revolve so that the figures
can all be read without turning the
! medal around. Outside the record and
along the rim wreath Of feaw de Us is
handsomely worked, completing the face
Inscribed in the center of the reverse
side are the words: Commemorative
of the Three hundred and six ballots of

convention, at Chicago, June, 1880"
All the lines are straight save The first

very simple yet handsome border. At
the centre of the top is hole in which
to place a ribbon. The medal is alto

ing. Grants profile shows part of the
coat collar and necktie. OF the $50
medals issued one will be sent to each
of the BOG delegates who voted for Grant,
and the balance to Gen. Grant and a
few stalwart friends. The mead of the
medal has been engraved on letter pa
per to be sent along with these souve-

Ailments that seem Tritjing

Are often but the prelude to a complication of
obstinate maladies. Among the former are fit
of indigestion loss of appetite biliousness and IN
activity of the bowels. 1t is highly unsafe to dis
regard any of these symptoms of bodily derange-
ment. They should be attended to at once ere
they become chronic, and involve the general
health. The above complaints may be easily
subdued with Hostetter, Stomach Bitters Rheu-
matism and fever and ague, both maladies for
which the above is reliable specific, yield most
readily to 1t in their incipiency. The testimony
as to its preventive efficacy and terrifying infu-
ence upon the system is particularly satisfactory
and conclusive. Nervous ailments are among the
malndies for which prompt relief is obtained by
the use of this sterling medicine

The Swiss republic has decided to
establish legation at Washington.
The measure has been in contempla-
ton for many years, but from time to
time postponed, through considerations
of economy. Hitherto Switzerland has
maintained Legations only at the CAPT
tails of the countries bordering upon
its territory, France, Germany, Austria
and Italy. In consequence of the large
number of Swiss who have become
residents of the United States, and of
the considerable amount of trade be-
tween the two countries, legation
here is doubtless of more importance
to Swiss interests than in any other
country with the exception of those
mentioned.

SOMETIME ago, Hugh S. Peoples sued
the Detroit Erening Neps for libel, on
two different counts, aggregating $780,
600, for having accused him of murder.
No name was mentioned in the article,
but Peoples put the coat on, and the
Necs accepted the challenge and fought
the suit until it triumphed. Immedi-
ately after, Peoples was arrested for
murder. His counsel have done all
they can to keep him from being ex-
amined, and got habeas corpus writ
bringing him before the supreme court,
where they tried to have him dis
charged on technical grounds, but that
court decided he must be held on charge
of murder.
