The Electric signal.

For the past two weeks the electric
signal put on the V. & 7. express train,
has been in constant use, and is pro-
nounced a success in all respects. Ii
fills a want long felt on railway cars.
The old plan of pulling bell cord does
not work we'll when the train is made
through numberless supports, and the
friction is 50 great that it requires a
man of considerable strength tosmake
the signal felt to the engine, and acct
dents have resulted from this cause.
With the electric signal the conductor
pulls the bell cord ia the ordinary way
and breaks the circuit at the end of the
car he is in. Each car has its own
separate circuit, and the cord can be
pulled either way. When the circuit
breaks Il whistle is blown at the-engi-
neer's side. One whistle loud and
long means stop, two means slower,
etc, etc, as may be determined upon
by the conductor and engineer A
touch of the bell cord is all that is nee
essary to sound the signal loud and
clear. The inventors Of the signal,
who are Carson men, are we'll satisfied
with the work it performs, and there is
no reason why it should not be intro
duced on every road in the United
States in another year.

GOOD Advice.

On Sunday one of our fresh young

missioner, and for time would not
give the old pioneer chance to put in

patience had been exhausted he put his
right hand up to his ear and said {:
"Now, young man, let somebody else
talk and you may catch an idea.'

w. w. Bordwell, of this city, to the

he was very prosperous merchant in
California, but meeting with business
reverses, he came to this State and was
one Of the first attaches of the Virginia

A Virginia poet breaks forth in cam,
paign verses and sends the APPEAL
the following:
Who goes about from place to place.
with bOastful air and smiling face,
Though struggling in a hopeless race?
Jute Adams.
Who takes each loafer by the hand,
And Satisfies his loud demand
For Iucre TO appease his band
Jute Adams.
Who put his trust in beer and ale,
But keeps his eye on votes for sale
For fear his tricky work will fail

Who smiles and shakes, and drinks in vain.
And spends his cash and strength to gain
Experience that will give him pain
Jute Adams
Who when NOvem ber's sere leaves fall,
will lie in his unwelcOme pail,
And mourn that he has lost it all
