THE PITTsBURG AND WHITEHALL
The Possibilities o. If- Eecoming
Part of the New Baltimore and Ohio

ROid.
PirrsByRG, January 5.-The attorney for
the new Pittsburs and Whitehall railroad,
on the Southside, was interviewed yester-
day upon the direct intentions OF the COM
pany holding the charter in case they
obtain the right OF way. He denied that 1t
was intended to be q portion OF the Balti-
more and Ohio's new road 10 Wheeling by
way of Streets run, but rather was in op-
POSITION to it, as it ran within mile and a
half of that line, and was intended TO tap
portion of lis trade. The new road, said
he, will reach a high table land, really an
uutskirt of the city, which can not be
reached either by a line up BecS's nor
Streets run. 1t will do the carrying trade
Of Brownstown, and will p-obIbly enhance
the value of the Rev. Jere. knnNs estate
now known as knoStown. 1t will endeavor
like every other road in the city, to connect
with the Junction line. They will also
resch the Lake Erie's lines, ana 1t is just
possible that after time the Baltimore
and Ohio could reach the lower Southside
mills over its tracks. The Baltimore and
Ohio men are not interested in the new
road, however 20 any extent

Farmers, Mistakes in Eating.

The following from the Farmer and
Manufacturer may be true of some
farmers, we are certain it is not true
Of all: The average farmer sets a
very poor table. If he has milk in
abundance, it is generally skim milk
or buttermilk or clabber, and the
cream is saved for butter to sell. lie
has too much to do or thinks he has,
to provide his table with asparagus,
celery, the small fruits and finer veg
etables. He insists that "plain food
is healthy" He comes in hungry
from the field, bolts his meals in the
shortest possible space of time, not
stopping to enjoy the flavor Of the
dishes, or 'roll them as sweet NOR
sci under his tongue" not stopping to
season them with pleasant conversa-
ton, and then hurrieS to the field
again, leaving the stomach to do its
work as best it can. The
patient, abused organ staggers On
under the cruel loads imposed
on it until at last it is powerleSs
to act, and then its cruel master
suffers the torments of dyspepsia. We
have it from high authority that
the chief market for patent medicines
so largely sold for the cure of dySpep-
STA and Of liver and kidney troubles is
among the farmers and their families.
Probably no one organ of the body re-
ceiveS more constant and habitual i'll
treatment than the stomach. A man
would not think Of trusting sticks into
his liver or pins into his heart, but he
will swallow grape seeds and cherry
stones and watermelon seeds, and eat
raw turnips and uncooked cucumbers.
and then wonder that he feels badly.
The stomach can do nothing with
these things but pass them along, and
so of the other organs that try to as
simulate them. They are as indigeSt-
able as cobbleStones, and pass from
the body unchanged. When the laws
of the stomach are violated, its neces-
stiles ignored, its expostulations
unheeded, and it becomes at
last outraged beyond endurance, it
exercises the last right of oppressed
creatures and revolts, then mischief,
thou art afoot!' The treasury is
empty and bankruptcy invariably
follows. Those in whom this dire
revolution is raging must learn by
what they suffer. They must, by
obey1ng the laws of the stomach. learn
how to rule that little principality
and bring it again into subsection;
and as stomachs are as unlike each
other as faces, each for himself must
acquire that wisdom which will ena-
bic him to be supreme in his own in
dividual empire.-Rural Home.

THE DESPERATE EX-BOSs.

To believe Mahones circular, it Sp-
pears, that were it not for Malone and
Mahoneism in Virginia, the gool old
state would long since have reached
state of collapse. It reads absolutely
like Malone has caused the sun
to shine, the rain to fall and
crops to grow in Virginia.
1t would make iJappear that health.
wealth and happiness in the Old
Dominion came alone through MI
hone, that even daily bread were a
bounty given by Malone. He is very
much like honest John Sherman, who
claimed that the good weather and fine
crops in this country and the bad crops
in Europe could be traced to the infiu-
ence of the Republican party. AS many
and even more railways would have
been built in Virginia without the
political existence of the little boss.
In the other Southern States, in fact,
where there has been no political dis
turbance, as in Virginia, there has
been greater amount OF building than
in Virginia. and the general degree
of prosperity has been much
ereater. Virginia, in truth, has
iagged behind the other Southern
States in nearly all matters Of ad-
vancement. Had Malone, as is sug-
gested by the Washington Star, set
out to guarantee the rights and privi
ieges OF the colored people of his state,
he could now very properly lay stress
on any bull-dozing that marked the
late election. But his interest in the
negro is artificial. He has always
striven to avoid identifying himself
witt. their cause, and it is too late now
for him to assume their defense. The
cry Of h IMAM rights is too evidently
an atterthOught to recommend him to
nose whom he addresses. Nor does

has illustrated in his career the worst
features Of "boss" rule. There are
other ways of nuIlifying suffrage than
by the shotgun; and in these devices
Of machine government Malone is
one of the most expert craftsmen of
the day. His defeat Is, then, not the
prostration of an idea, but the repudi-
alton of a vicious system. The little
boss has fouad that his dominion has
passed away from him, and he is des-
perate, and is ready to resort to any
sort of political excuses. Having af-
filiated with Republicans, naturally
his first impulse in defeat is to at
tempt, if possible, to cook election re-
turns. Let him bear in mind that the
day for such work is passed.
