AN astounding irregularity in the
conduct of the late Geo. F. Doughty,
secretary of the Cincinnati, New Or
leans 4 Texas Railroad Company, has
been brought to light at Cincinnati. 1t is
the overissue of stock of 500, 900 of that
road. The fraudulent stock was prompt
ly turned into cash. but had in some
way been manipulated so that it was
not detected at the time of the pay
ment of the January dividend, nor was
it known until the day after the death
OF Doughty, which occurred several
months ago. Doughty invested the
bulk Of the proceeds in the Cincinnati,
selma Il Alabama Railroad, aud this
stock Is in the possession of Theo.
Cook as administrator of Doughty's es-
tate. Mr.. Cook is President of the
Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pa.
cihc, and it is claimed that this stock
will very nearly make good the loss.
There Is, besides, recourse upon his
bondsmen TO the extent of $50, 900. In
TO the time of his death Doughty had
the full confidence of the company and
OF business men generally.

nscate sticks from native. Arab Pasha
proposes the Turks shall occupy Cairo,
while he will remove to some central posi-
ton In the Delta provided the Turks prom
Use not attack his rear. All the British
troops have been ordered to the front, as an
attack Is expected. Arab issued . procla-
nation accusing the English Of cowardice,
haunting them and daring them to attack
him. His forces are represented at 10000
men. The British have occupied Suez.
The Judiciary Committee Of the House
reported, with only one dissenting vote, q
resolution recommending all lands granted
the Texas & Pacific Railroad Company,

Q, 1871, and acts amendatory or supple
mentory thereto, be declared forfeited, and
that the whole of said lands be restored to

THE Rdilscdy Age has fgnres showing
that the total construction of main lines of
railroads for seven months in the United
States has been more Than 5000 miles.

The building was also struck. doing much
damage. The Eighth District School and

Regularity in Eating.

If there is any one rule about eating
in which all persons are agreed, it is,
that our meals should be taken at stated
and regular periods. People may diff
fer about vegetarianism, about sweets.
about pies and cakes, about tea and
coffee; but have never met a person
who would insist that regularity was of
no consequence-that it was lust as
well to take two meals to-day and five
tomorrow, to take dinner at one
o'clock to-day, three tomorrow, and
five next day. Without understanding
the physiological law. all are agreed
that regularity is important.
A long journey by rail does not de-
range the stomach because of long sit
ting in an unventilated car, for the
traveller may occupy O still worse place
in the pursuit of his business at home:
neither is it because of the character of
the food furnished at the railway lunch
rooms; for the food at home is often
worse; but the stomach arrangement
which nearly always comes with the
long railway trip is, in great part, to be
traced to irregularity In the times of
eating. In recent trip, VIC took
breakfast the first morning just after
daylight next morning at half-past
nine o. clock, the next at seven, and so
with the other meals; only one day we
had no dinner at all In less than a
week we were all suffering Indigestion;
some were conscious of no discomfort
In the stomach, but not one of us es-
capped the dullness and depression OF
spirits which come of imperfect di-
gestion. Among the table laws, this
one of regularity is prominently i'm.

1T is only few years since freight
cars were allowed to be loaded with
more than ten tons. Now but few
eigbt-wbeel cars are built with a carry
ing capacity of less thar twenty tons.
The advantages and economies secured
by increased capacity are such that a
committee of the Master Car Builders
Association have recommended the
building of twenty-five or thirty-ton
test cars, believing that freight can be-
carried in thirty-ton cars with as much
safety and with greater economy than
in cars of less capacity. Chicago Times.

The testimony taken yesterday before the

fully open to the interests OF the various OIL
cas under their care. The exclusion fIOm the
Garden of n meddlesome missionary, who de-
prived the railway agents of their private and
particular perquisite by assisting an inlm grant

he ought to have been glad to pay Thirteen
dollars for it inside of the 'iardcn, showed ii
degree Of watchfulness and tender care on the
part of the Commissioners well worthy the at

1t is to be hoped that the Senate Finance Com

work of the Commissioners, but will assist
them in barring their gates to such trouble
