THOSE WOMEN FOLK.

Anybody who has led domestic life knows
how common such things IS backRche, and
pains in the chest are among the women who
do the werk. often-snd perhaps gener-
alIy-ihe distresses are borne without much
complaint, The women get about, and the
machinery Of the house goes on. Beyond
this, these coarse.grsined animals whom New
England women call ''the men folks" sci
dom look. So long al their wives OF dsugh-
tiers are not actually in bed.under the doctors
care, the average thick-skinned husband and
father gives the su5ieot no attention. At
the ssme time the poor household dFudges-
who desire bette fate-creep around, broom
or utensils in hand up stairs, down stairs and
out-of-doors, doing the womau's work, which
sis never DONE" Losses Of loved wives and
sir girls-lossss whose suddenness and IN
expectedness astouish those wooden-psted
husbands and fathers-fall, seemingly out OF
q clear sky, and form the logical sequel to the
story OF neglect.
Now. you men who stsnd at the head Of ten
thousand such homes, allow me to drop a
word in your respective ears. II th.se women

Mount Deserts New Railway

Mount Desert is tickled with new toy
this summer-a perpendicular railroad, so
to speak, to the top of the highest sum-
NIT of the isle: the highest, also, OF the
whole billy coast region. 1t is the third
railroad of its kind, the first one being
that to the top of Mount Washington and
the second that on the Right, in Switzer-
land. 1t is by all odds the best as well as
the latest, according to the verdict of the
excellent Railroad Commissioners of
Maine, two of whom are civil engineers
and practical railroad contractors. This
kind of railroad is really an iron ladder,
the rungs of which are but two or three
inches apart, and the train climbs it by
means of the steel toes of the cOg-wheels
geared to the power of the engine. As
one sits on the fOrward-sloping seat OF the
car, Which becomes level as the floor
measures an angle of forty-fve degrees
or more, it looks a frightful risk, this
climbing the sheer precipices of the
mountain. But an examination of the
gearing and the construction puts to flight
anything like nervousness. The thick,
stubbed steel teeth of the cOg-wheel, in the
first place, do not in the least look like
breaking off, but if one should give way
certainly not all the four, which are
always entering or just about taking hold
of the rungS at the same time. Nor are
the wroughtir hand-fastened rungs
likely to give way, for each, with possi-
BILE but not probable weight of twenty tons
of engine and load, distributed on four of
these rungs, is able to bear hundreds of
tons. Then there are several brakes and
stops that can be instantly and sue
cessively brought to bear. AS for the
engine running backwards down the
sleeps, as every rung passed and holding
the cog sends the piston against the CON-
pressed air in the cylinder, the down pro-
gress can be only cog by cog and rung by
rung, precisely as slow as the toiling up
ward,

Raree Transnortation.

Discussing the freight question in its
bearing upon the city of Augusta, Mr..
Chas W. Doughty refers to class OF
barges that should be better known in our
Southern waters. He says: "There are
in use in Germany and many other parts
of the world, iron steamboats,, or barges,
capacity about 500 tons, or 1000 bales OF
cotton: depth of keel or draft from "a to
% inches; cost of said vessels are, think,
about $4,000 each-they ought not to
cost more. Say four OF these vessels
cost $6O,00O-would carry in the cotton
season, say 100000 bales, and bring back
in their half apacity-one-half loaded up
stream-30,O00 tons of freight. Thus for
an insignificant sum of 100000 you have a
highway free to all-independent of pools
with which to honorably and amicably
compete with lines that costs millions"
Many of the rivers of the South now
almost, if not wholly, abandoned by COM
merce and navigation, might again be
utilized by the introduction of such light
draft vessels, to the great advantage OF
entire agricultural sections left without
transportation facilities by removal OF the
ordinary river steamers. Barge trans
portatiOn is the new order in course Of
development. Out West the barges are
constructed without numbering with ma
chinery to increase the draft, and are
towed by insignificant steamtugs, one OF
these proving sufficient to tow whole
fleet of shallow barges carrying two or
three hundred thousand bushels OF grain.
They do not need but few feet of water,
and trial trips ON the Mississippi and
Missouri rivers proved a triumph of river
navigation over the bites, sand bars and
shoals that have wrecked so many costly
steamers.

Counsellor Cook, who was employed by
Attorney General MacVeagh in connec-
ton with the first star route trial, al
leges that Mr.. Ker was imported from
Philadelphia to draw up indictments.
His first indictment was stupidity incOr-
rect. By the use of initials in the name
of SandersOn it was quashed. That in
voIved the government in very much more
expense by requiring the retaining of all
the witnesses upon whose evidence the
indictment had been originally found,
and the time required to dispose of the
cases was increased, during all of which
the expenses of the attorneys were run
ming on. In the second indictment the
name Of the person (SandersOn) whose
initials only were given in the first in
dictment, was dropped out entirely, and
il is said that he had seen Bliss and others
i'm the meantime and had the assurance
that he would not be indicted. 1t is
another remarkable fact that the
weaIthiest contractors have never been
pursued ut all. shortly after Mr.. Brew
ster became Attorney General he confer
red exclusive power upon Mr.. Bliss to
institute civil suits for the recovery of
money from contractors, and while no
civil suits We're directly instituted of any
consequence, negotiations were entered
into for arbitration. 1t was the intention
of the present Postmaster General, who
determined recently that the matter was
under his control and the suits must be
instituted. 1t is a question worthy of
consideration that while so much interest
is manifested in the pursuit Of Dorsey and
Brady and the relatives and associates of
Dorsey. that others were allowed wholly
to escape indictment and arrangements
made to settle with them by civil suit or
arbitration. In brief, the cases were not
taken up in the manner and spirit or ac-
cOrding to the plans that had received the
approval of President Garfield, nor as
they would have been had he lived. His
maxim was substantially this: while
no guilty person should escape, no one
who might be innocent should be pursued
ar condemned

A sweeping change will soon be made,
it would appear, in the mode of construct
ing freight cars. The new style OF car,
which is in use upon some roads, created
a sensation at the recent Chicago Expo
sition and took the prize. 1t is known as
the 'LOng Gondola Iron Car" The carry
ing capacity of these cars is only limited
by the strength of the aXles. Upon a
test at the exposition one Of these cars,
80 feet in length, standard gauge, was
loaded with 10000 pounds of pig iron,
and though subjected to the severest
usage, there was not the least appear
ance of strain or detection. The car,
after the several trials, appeared
as if it had not been loaded at all. OF
course, nothing but an iron car could
withstand such pressure. The longitu-
dinal stills are constructed of heavy
wrought iron tubes two and half inches
in diameter, each sill being composed of
two tubes, held in position one a few
inches above the other by strong mallea-
BILE iron clamps. The holsters and head
sills are composed of chuned iron. The
car is so constructed that various parts
are interchangeable. In the draft-frame
the usual Tugs, bolts and nuts are dis
pensed with.

thus far to please his first assistant, who

With such person as Mr.. Frank HattOn

liant or too firm in insisting upon being

head of the postal service. Mr. Gresham

for the first time since the great triumph
of the ''grand old party" Yet, strangers
it NAV seem. each of these common
wealths preserves its integrity, and as
far as can be Judged is, if anything, the
better for the change. 1t Is trlne ELL
barrassing TO the Republican organs 10

nized facts. and it is irritating TO them
10 think that the people al
large NAV deduce from the
equanimity and good order OF these
captured commemorative, the conclusion
that the country would be safe under
Democratic rule.
OF course, it is positively heterodoX to
think so but the people have been
doing, a great deal of indie
pendent thinking Of late, and
more they do of it the worse ii is for the
''grand old party" Hitherto the good
folks Of Massachusetts. Pennsylvania and
other fertile nurseries of Radicalism have
deemed Democracy synonymous with
treason. and regarded a Democrat as a
veritable pariah fit only for political ostra-
cism. Guiteau, however, was power
full teacher. and his mad act did more to
acquaint the people Of the country in gen.
eraI to the true character Of Radicalism
than all the criticism and denunciatiOn
that its practices had provoked.
1t is encouraging TO find that the claims
Of Radicalism are being questioned by
many who have previously recognized
them, and that its leaders are forced to
present evidence as TO the justice of its
professions. As a contemporary remarks:
.sThe Americanization Of the people who
now hold the opinion that our country
men are divided, not into two parties,
each seeking the public welfare by diff
ferent methods, but into patriots who try
to save it and enemies who wish to de-
stroy it, Will be one of the best results of
a Democratic triumph in the country at
large" When the characterization" of
these people is completed there will be an
end to the grand old party"

The Chicago Tfibun remarks that some
idea of the motives OF Irish Boards of
Guardians, generally composed of land
lords and their underlings, bailitfs and
sub-agents, in sending their paupers to this
country, may be gathered from the fol-
lowing extract from Realities of Irish
Life a book published by Mr.. stuart
Trench, Lord LansdOwne's agent, some
twenty years ago. He writes: SIN little
more than a year $500 paupers left
Kenmare for America, all free assisted
emigrants, without any ejectments
having to be brought against them
to enforce it or the slightest pres
sure put upon them to 90. Mat
tiers now began to right themselves. Only
fifty or sixty paupers remained in the
house (workhouse) chargeable to the
property of which l had care, and Lord
Lansdowne's estates at length breathed
freely" Mr.. Stuart Trench's son. Towns
end Trench, who is the present Lord
LansdOwne's agent, seems tOsbe carrying
out his fathers policy. The greater
number of the pauper emigrants shipped
to this country recently and all those sent
back Saturday appear to hail from the
vicinity of the Lansdowne estates near
Tralee and Kenmare. 1t is well that
some objection has been made to the sys-
tenn at last
