There was anguish in the faces o
those who bent over the little whit,
bed, for they knew that baby Nav

where so many have been wrested
from loving hands, and as they tired
in vain to keep her, or even tc

her last brief sorrows, they too ex-
perienced in the bitter hours OF
parting the pangs of death. The
rings of golden hair lay damp and
unstirred on her white forehead; the
roses were turned to lilies on her
checks: the lovely violet eyes saw
them not, but where upturned and
fixed; the breath on the pale lips
came and went, futtered and seem
ed 10th to leave its sweet prison.
Oh, the awful, cruel strength of
death, and the weakness, the help
lessness of love. They who loved
her better than life could lift no hand
to avert the destroyer; they could
only watch and wait until the end
should come. Her merry, ringing
laugh would never again gladden.
their hearts; her little feet would
make no more music as they ran
pattering to meet them. Baby May
was dying and all the house was
darkened and hushed.
Then it was as the shadows fell in
desert waves about us, that she
stirred ever so family, and our
hearts gave great bound as we
thought: "She is better! She will

moved from one face to the other
with dim, uncertain gaze. Oh,
how good God was to give her back
How we would praise and bless him
all our lives. She lifted one dainty
hand-cold-almost pulselcss, but
better, better-We would have it so
and laid it ON the rough, Drowned
hand of the rugged man who sat
nearest to her. His eyelids were red
with weeping, but now let his face
smile like rainbow as he felt \the
gentle pressure of his little daugh-
ter's hand-the mute, imploring
touch, that meant question,
"What is it, darling2' he asked in
broken tones of joy and thanksgiv-
ing,
She could not speak; and so we
raised her on the pretty lace pillow,
and her wee white face shone in the
twilight like a fair star, or a sweet
woodland flower.
She lifted her heavy eyes to his
eyes that even then had the glory
and the promise of Immortality in
them, and reaching out her little
wasted arms, said in her weary,
aute-like voice.
"Help me across, papar'
Then she was gone. We held to
our breaking hearts the fail, beauti-

and alone.

Mr.. Tilden has recovered his
strength and vigor to no purpose.
Henry Watterson has decided that
the next president must come from
the west We expect that Uncle
Sammy is humbled and paws the
dust over his sackcloth frequently.
1t would be particularly bad for
him if Mr.. Watterson's DEGREES
were not in the habit Of reversing
themselves, Four years ago he in
jected all the balms and perrenials
imaginable into the feeble veins of
the Great Unseated without avail,
and now that he is trying the oppo-
site process Uncle S. may bloom
out into such rejuvenation as will
sweep things up entirely. We
hope so.
Dogwood is a plant of not large
growth, it is commercially Of great
value. 1t is indigenous to North
America, but it thrives best in New
Jersey, Maryland and Virginia.
Where the soil is gravelly and
shaded, it grows well in Tennessee
The wood is hard, close grained, and
takes a fine polish. 1t is used
principally in the manufacture Of
mallet handles, tops, names, shut
ties, harrow teeth and shoeing fol
sleds. The bark is bitter, contains
many of the qualities of the Peruvi
an bark, and is often used as s
substitute for it.

Gen. Gordon, of the railroad com
mission, is reported by the World
as saying:
As long as the roads comply with
the official requests and require
ments Of the commission, it is not
going to quarrel with them about
their reservations Of legal or consti-
tutional questions that they sup
pose may hereafter arise. AS be-
fore stated, it is not the function of
the commission to construe but to
execute the law under which it is
acting. And in doing so we hope
to bring about a better understand
ing between the railroads and the
people Of the state For a number
of our people, like those of many
other states, have made complaints
against the railroads for excessive
charges, oyercharges, rebates, dis
examinations, etc, and the legisla-
ture has created the commission for
the purpose among other things Of
investigating these complaints when
formally made, allowing the defend
ants full and equal hearing with
the complainants before the com
mission. And in this way it is
hoped that the ends of justice may
BE attained and better understand
ing had between the people and the
roads. But this commission does
not expect to be able to bring this
about in a day or a week or a year.
1t is a great undertaking, but by
steady, patient, hard work and time
we hope to accomplish it. The com
mission has much to learn in the
solution of what is called the ''rail-
road problem"-the people have
much to learn and the railroads have
much to learn. In every great
question like this between the rail
roads and the people there is near
ly, if not always, some right, some
wrong and some misunderstand-
ings on both sides. 1t is the desire
of the commission, as far as lies
within its power, to remedy the
wrongs, mutual or otherwise, to
confirm rights and to remove mis-
understandings, if such are found to
exist,

a farm-deed is bounded by, on ol
upon q road it usually extends tc
the middle of the roadway. There
are few exceptional cases, but ordi-
narily the farmer owns the soil Of
half the road and may use the grass,
trees, stones, gravel, sand, or any
thing of value to him, either on the
land or beneath the surface, subject
only to the superior rights Of the
public to travel over the road, and
that of the highway surveyor or
other similar officer to use such ma
terials for the repair of the road
and these materials he may cart
away and use elsewhere on the road,
yet he has no right to use them for
his own private purposes. No 9th

Plain Facts Plainly Spoken.

At one time a discussion Of the secret vice was en-.
tirely avoided by the profession, and medical works OF
but a few years ago would hardly mention 1t.
To-day the physician is OF q different opinion; he lie
aware that 1t is his uty-lisagreeable though II
may be--to handle this matter without gloves and
speak plainly about it; and intelligent parents and
guardians will thank him for doing SO.
The results attending this destructive vice were for.
merly not understood, or not properly estimated; and
no Importance being attached to q subject which by
its nature does not invite close investigation, 1t was
willingly ignored
The habit is generally contracted by the young
while attending school; older companions through
their example, may be responsible for it, or 1t may be
acquired through accident. The excitement once OK
pericnced, the practice will be repeated again and
again, until at last the habit becomes firm and com
pletely enslaves the victim. Mental and nervous Of
fictions are usually the primary results of self-abuse
Among the injurious effects may be mentioned lassi.
tude, detection or FEASIBILITY of temper and general
debility. The boy seeks seclusion, and rarely joins
In the sports of his companions. II he be a young
man he will be little found in company with the other
sex, and is troubled with exceeding and annoying
bashfulness in their presence. Lascivious dreams,
emissions and eruptions on tho face, etc, are also
prominent symptoms.
II the practice is violently persisted in, more serious
heart, or epileptic commissions, are experienced, and
the sufferer may fall into q complete state of idiocy be.
fore, finally, death relieves him.
To all those engaged in this dangerous, practice, !
would say, first of all, stop it at once; make every
possible effort to do so; but If you fail, if your nervous
system is already too much shattered, and conso.
quently, your will.power broken, take some nerve
tonic to aid you in your effort. Having freed yourself
from the habit, l would further counsel you to go
through a regular course of treatment, for it is a great
mistake to suppose that any one may, for some time,
be { every so little, give himself up to this fascinating
but dangerous excitement without suffering from its
evil consequences at some future time. The number
OF young men who are incapaciated to fill the duties
enjoined by wcdlock is alarmingly large, and in most
OF such cases this unfortunate condition of things can
be traced to the practice of self-abuse, which had been
abandoned years ago. Indeed, a few months practice

HURRYING UP THE WORK.
The Expectation that Water will Flow
by the Middle of November.

There has been delay caused in COM
plotting the w~aterworks, the chief diff.
Guilty being to get pipes as fast as desired.
A lot of the large "a inch pipers were
wrecked on the road, and since then
there has been a carload or so coming a
day instead of four or five as is needed.
Mr.. Harry Birkinbine, the engineer, left
yesterday with his family, for st, Louis,
it being his intention to see them safely
on their journey to Philadelphia, where
they will visit their own
home, while he will proceed
to Louisville, where he will in person
hurry up the supply of water pipe being
manufactured there If he succeeds, as
he expects to, for with him there is no
such word as fail, the pipe will all be on
hand soon so that water may flow by the
10th of November. The delay has been
vexatious, but Mr.. Birkinbine proposes
to do the best he can, and hurry up mat
ters with all possible push. He will
surely succeed if it is among the posi-
bilities.

Vitapathy.

Vitapathy got q black eye on Friday
last. Rev. DIR. Denton V. d. had his trial
before Judge Hamilton for practicing
without proper authority. Atty. Lee and
Judge Davis of Blair were for the de-
fence, Hopewell d Peterson for the pro-
secution. Denton produced a diploma
from the Vitapathy concern in Ohio which
licensed him to heal body and soul,
preach, teach, practice or do most any
thing his cultivated, fancy might lightly
turn to. The court held that as the law
required proof to be made that he had
been a practicing physician for ten years.
and that he had practiced in this state
n year and that the articles of incorpo-
ratitn of any institution empowered to
grant legal permission to practice med
icine and issue diplomas, must be filled
with the Secretary of the State where
such institutions resided, 80 the state
could recognize and sustain its authority
But, as non of these above conditions
were complied with he must impose a fine
of $50 and the defendent to stand com.
mitted till the fine was paid.

Civil Rights in PENNSYLVANIA.

Pittsburg Commercial. Gazette.
The interviews held with leading color.
ed citizens show how deeply they regret
the decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States on the Civil Rights bill.
Ssme of them seem to have overlooked
the fact that all the rights sought to have
been secured by the law of Congress just
declared invalid, have been conferred
upon the negroes by the Legislature of
this State, so that no citizen of Pennsyl-
vania can be Disseminated against because
of race, color, religion or social condition.
+ 4 4 + In 1867 a law was passed
declaring that negroes should have the
same rights in railway cars as white citi-
zens, and this law has been in force ever
since. By virtue of it a colored man or
woman may enter a parlor or dining car,
sleeping coach, or go wherever a white
man or woman may go. They can only
be excluded for reasons which would
justify the exclusion of white persons.
In 1870 an act was passed repeating so
much of every law as provided that white
freemen only should vote, and comforting
the franchise upon colored men. This
placed the black man upon an equality
with his white neighbor so far as citizen
ship was concerned, and hence his right
to equal privileges and immunities AS a
citizen. He cannot be Disseminated
against by hotel keepers or proprietors OF
places of amusement any more than he
can be denied admission to a railway cal
or steamboat. So far as this State Is con-
cerned the Civil Rights bill passed by
Congress was anticipated by several years,
and the recent decision will not injuri-
ously affect any colored citizen of the
Commonwealth.
