pounds is delivered anywhere in the
kingdom for twenty-five cents. In
this matter of packages we ought to
have far better facilities and lower
rates here in our own country.
What we call express business is
done by the railway companies in
England, and they carry a package
weighing a pound fifty miles for six
cents. Think of this, everybody who
is called on to pay twenty-five cents
for expressing small packages a dis
tance of only twenty-five miles from
Boston-a price which is abominable.
As to the telegraph and telephone,
there seems to be little hope of relief
in this country from present prices till
the Government takes hold of the
matter and makes it IA part of the
pOst-Ot1ice system, as in England. The
Western Union continues to add prac-
tically to its stock by the purchase or
control Of all rival lines, and the inne
cent public is now paying such prices
for messages as to enable it to dis
tribute a dividend on sum that ap-
proaches one hundred millions of
dollars. though it is asserted that the
actual amount of fixtures and property
that it owns could be replaced, proba-
bly,, for less than One-fourth of
that sum-

The Clean Newspaper.

There is a growing feeling in healthy
communities against journals which
make it their special object to minister
to perverted taste by seeking out and
serving up in IA seductive form disgust
ing and licentious revelations. There
is good reason to believe that the clean
newspaper is more highly priced to-
dav than it was four or five years ago.
1t is also safe to predict that as people
in all ranks of life, who protect their
own, at least from contamination, be-
coming more conscious of the PERM
ciOus influence of certain class of
Journals, called enterprising because
they are ambitious to serve up dirty
scandals, they will be careful to see
that the journals they permit to be
read in the family circle are of the class
that never forget the proprieties of life.
Already men and women of refinement
and healthy morals have had their at
tention called to the perniciOus intiu-
ence of bad literature, and have made
cOmmendable efforts to counteract the
same by causing sound literature to be
published and sold ut popular prices
| These efforts are working Il silent but
sure revolution. The best authors are
more generally read to-day than at any
previous date. The sickly sentimental
story paper and the wild ranger and
pirate story books are slowly but sure
ly yielding the field to worthier claim
ants. To the praise of the decent
newspaper, it may be said that where
it has IA place in the family and has
been read for years by young as wei
as old, it has developed such a healthy
tone and such a discriminating taste
that the life-nature of the slums has
no admirers. Fortunately the number
of such families is increasing i'll til,
land, and, as they increase, the journa
that devoted itself to sickening reve
lations of immortality will be compelled
to find its supporters solely among
those classes who practice vice anc
crime or are ambitious to learn to fol
low such ways.

A Connecticut Rip Van Wrinkle.

Sherman W. Platt, Il young man be-
longing to one of the most respected
families of Newton, Conn, has slept
almost continuously since last Christ
mas, and in the meantime he has not
once spoken. He sits in rocking
chair, with his eyes closed, all day long
paying no attention whatever to his
mother, who ministers to him constant
ly, or to the numerous friends and Gu
rious acquaintances who call daily at
his home. Twice ii day he rOuses from
what seems to be sound slumber. and
in half-dazed fashion leaves his chair
to enter an adjoining room where the
family's meals are served. He eats
very little. The country doctors ad-
nit that they do not understand the
case. Platt was Il bright, active young
man until he was attacked by malaria
fever last fall after suffering from a
sunstrOke. He was to have been mar
ried this spring, but does not know his
intended bride when she calls, and no
efforts have availed to arouse him from
| his StupOr.

Fresh Air for COnsumptives.


About the comparative advantages
of dry and cold or moist and tropical
climate, opinions are divided, with a
prepOnderance of arguments in favor
of the former but so much is certain,
that in all latitudes of the temperate
zone the disease known as pulmonary
consumption is caused by the breath
ing of vitiated air and can be subdued
by outdoor exercise. In certain cases
cured would be an ambiguous term.
The respiration of vitiated (agOtized
and dust-impregnated) air results in
the corruption of the pulmonary It's
sues, and finally in process of disin-
tegratiOn that fills the structure of the
lungs with ulcerous cavities. These
cavities often cicatrize, but it is not
probable that they can be entirely
healed, l. e., that the wasted tissues
can be reproduced. Yet in all but it's
last stages the progress of the disease
can be arrested by outdoor life alone.
Millions of prisoners, school children
and factory slaves, pine for lung food
as a starving man yearns for bread ;
and that hunger can not be stilled with
cough pills, but only with fresh air.
There are adjuvant remedies, but their
cooperation is not Indispensable.
Without a sufficient supply of whole
some food, without warm clothes, with
out domestic comforts, under the dis
advantage even of excessive hardships
and prOtracted fasts, a three months
mountain excursion, with or without
tents, will cure all symptoms of the
disease with the exception of an accel-
Grated pulse and painting respiration
during active exercise. Canadian trap
pers who leave their supply camp with
bad cough, get rid of it on the fifth or
sixth day "Out." They may get foot
sore aud, if game is scarce, hipped and
hOmesick, but the feeling of haleness
about the chest continues. Night frOsts
do not affect it. Fatigues rather inn
prove it. They may wake up with a
feeling of frost-cramp from their chill
blamed toes to their shivering knees,
but the lungs are mt ease +; no cough, no
asthmatic distress, no stitch-like pains,
no niUht fever

"bounced," he was obliged to take a
way train back to Philadelphia. where
he purchased a ticket over another line
to New York, and proceeded on his
journey. He subsequently made IA full
statement of the facts in writing, to the
general manager of the Pennsylvania
railroad, who wrote to Mr.. COnnell ap-
proving the action of the conductor,
and stating that all the blame was with
the party selling the ticket, who, he
stated, had no right to sell the same at
the time he did. This statement was
based upon the fact that during the
week preceding the sale of the ticket
by Mr.. Moores to Mr.. COnnell, the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad notified the Wa
bash company at st. Louis to discOn
tinue the sale of tickets over the Penn
sylvania railroad in connection with
the Baltimore and Ohio, which notice
did not reach Mr.. Moores until after the
sale by him of the ticket i'll cOntroVer-
sy. When Mr.. Moores did receive the
notice he Immediately took all remain
ing tickets of like form off sale, and so
continued until the end of the 'war'
between the two railroads, which last
ed about three months, when he was
again ordered to place such tickets on
sale, which he did, commencing with
the number next to the number sold to
Mr.. Connell. The money received 10y
Mr.. Moores for Mr.. Connell's ticket was
remitted to the Wabash company at
st. Louis, and was reported to the
Pennsylvania railroad by the Wabash
company, the identical ticket being
particularly described, whereupon the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad received its pro
rata from the Wabash company, and
has ever since retained the same.
These facts were all fully established
on the trial. Mr.. MOoreS and other Of
ticers of the Wabash company testify
inc on behalf of Mr. Connell. On the
trial some interesting points We're de
veloped. The notice of the Pennsyl
Vania railroad to the Wabash cOmpa-
nv. ordering the diScontinuance of the
sale of tickets via Baltimore and Ohio,
stated that all such tickets would not
be hOnored after December 10, lSoO.
Mr.. Conncll purchased his ticket De
cember I, and the proof showed he left
the same day, and had he continued on
his Journey would have reached New
York ON the night of December 9, and
his ticket would accordingly have been
hono:ed The ticket being unlimited,
the question is presented Can Il pas
senger be affected or prciudiced by
availing himself of the right to stop off
on an unlimited ticket
The conductor testified that he would
have honorcd the ticket had it been
presented on or before December 10.
but because Mr.. C6nncll stopped off at
Washington until December 10th, as he
intended to do when he left Omaha.
and for which purpose he had bought
an unlimited ticket, paying an extra
price therefor, the conductor proposed
to. and did diShonor it.

The Mechanics Institute Fair.

The managers of the New England
institute are hard at work, and their
successful exhibition of last year at
Boston is likely to be eclipsed by that
to be held this fall. The exhibit of the
southern states is to be very complete
and interesting, and a new feature, the
women's department, will attract much
attention. The manufacturers of New
England are showing great interest in
the fair, and promise to make the exhi-
bitiOn representative one of New
England's many industries. When the
magnificent building of the institute
was erected, it was feared by some that
it was too remote from the business
centre of the city, but the wise fore
sight of the founders is now seen, fOr
so rapidly are buildings going up Oh
the Back Bay, and so easy is the com
municatiOn by horse cars, that what
then seemed far out of the way now
seems near by, because of its accessi-
bilitv
