English and American Rail-
ways.

Railway travel by what might be
called the solitary system in cOntradls-
tinction to the American or congrega
tional plan of passenger car will get a
new shock in Europe from the expert
ence of Rev. Mr.. WitchbOrne, an En-
glish clergyman on his way to Paris,
who was assaulted and stabbed five
times with chisel by robber i'll a
car. The thief and murderer, for it is
NOT expected Mr.. Witchborne will live,
waS captured at Armiens, after terrific
struggle. and proved to be an English
man. The lines between London and
Paris are great resorts for thieves, as
is proved by another recent incident.
Maxim, the electrical inventor, had
III. 900 francs stolen from him at Paris,
and as he was travelling to London by
the Dieppe line he found the three
thieves in the railroad lunch-room ut
Rouen. Mr.. Maxim seized one of them,
and demanded the arrest of the others
by the byStanderS. The railroad inter
prefer was sent for. but proved to be
of little assistance, the police were
| equally inefficient, and the three ras-
Gals bolted for the train, Maxim still

| throw Maxim under the wheels. The
train ran into ii tunnel, with Maxim and
| the robbcr clenching in the doorway of
compartment, being of course on the
| side of the train. Maxim had some
| tingcr-naIls turned and the sole of his
boot stripped off, but hung to his man,
the train was stopped and he handed
over to the police to be taken back to
Paris. The police were very inefficient
us regards the others, neither arresting
them nor telcgraphing for their deten-
tions ut Dieppe. MaXim's captive
offered him IL large sum for his liberty,
but it was refused These two affairs
will be likely to lead to an overhauling
of the arrangements for the protection
of the public on the crowded continent

Milk Diet in Brisht's Disease.

Since we know not ut present any
drug that possesses therapeutic value
to any marked extent in this terrible
and fatal disease, and since it is daily
making sad havoc among human be
ings. and principally among that class
who. 10y reason of their valuable public
lahorS. are particularly necessary to the
welfare of the world. therefore it he
comes a medical question of paramount
interest that we should discover some
potent method of combating this very
prevalent disease. Some years since
Carcl first called attention tn the treat
mcnt of Bright's disease by the use of
"a milk diet. and since then Duncan, as
well as many other prominent physl-
clans. have written on this subject.
We have ourselves seen some remark
able results follow this treatment,
while kr. :. Weir Michel, of our city.
is now quite an enthusiast on this sub
Icct. This method of treating a for
midablc disease has received sufficient
distinguished endorsement to recon-
mend it seriously To our notice. We
would. therefore. ask all physicians
who read this article to try this meth
cd of treatment. and to furnish us with
their experience. which we will pub

There was no ''lucl" in his Joshua's
success; it was 10y simple taithfulncss
that he rose. He filled well every
place in which he was tried. If he had
failed us Il soldier or as subordinate
officer. hc would never have been elc-
waited to the higher trusts which We're
at last repoScd in his hands. This bit
of personal history ought t" have its
lessons for the boys and young men
who study it. There is an impression
abroad that success in life can be
achieved 10y Smartness or by 'StrokeS
of good luck" or in some other way, at
least. than 10y honest hard work and
simple devotion to duty. Never was
there Il falser idea abroad. The only
way to rise to success and honor and to
the highest places is by starting wher-
ever GOD puts us and doing with faith
fulncss and earneStneSs the humblest
duties of our calling. We can only get
up to Il higher place when we prove
ourselves ready for it. Success is Il
ladder or stairway, and we must go
up step by step to reach the top.

The New York Elevated Rail-
Wly.

DIR. Rufus Gilbert, who designed the
New York Metropolitan elevated rail
way, is credited with the statement
that the structure is not heavy enough
for the traffic now being done that it
was built for twentytOn engines, while
twenty cight-tOn engines are being run
upon it. 1t seems almost incredible
that even Jay Gould monopoly could
so recklessly invite wholesale slaugh
ter But whether this special COM
plant is true or false, there is clearly
growing feeling in New York that
the road is overweighted and over
worked. Indeed, one has only to
watch one of the lines between five
and six on any evening, and see the
trains rushing by, jammed to the plat
form and only one minute apart, to
acquire Il shuddering conviction that
there will he terrible disaster some
day when one of the engines jumps
the track, comes to IA sudden and ac-
cidental halt. or loses control of its
brakes while avoiding a train ahead.

Planets in July.

stellar contributor to the Prov

interesting study to note the rising OF
the morning stars during July, as they
appear one after another above the

the 3lst he rises about ll.3O p. IN. Mars

ton with Saturn on the morning of the
Goth, both planets rising that morning
soon after l a. IN. Saturn Is morning
star and will take on more splendid
appearance at his coming opposition
than he has done for nearly thirty
wears. His widely open rings, his high
northern declination, and his approach
ing perihclion, form specially favorable
conditions for observation. These
conditions will eliminate in 1853.
Saturn rises on the LIST about half-past
o'clock in the morning on the 3lst
