A MASTER mechanic of one of the trunk
lines makes the statement that there are
more than 100000 iron car wheels in
use on American railroads. Sand 1t re-
quires about 525 pounds of pig iron to
make one wheel. About 1,250,000
wheels are worn out every year, and the
same number Of new ones must be made
to take their places. The iron men are
called upon for only a small proportion
of the 3l2, 800 tons of material required
for these new wheels, however, for near
ly 100000 tons are supplied by the worn
out wheels themselves. Formerly the
life of car wheel was estimated at
eight years, but the reduction of the
railroads generally to the standard
gauge, and the improvements in loading
and unloading facilities have materially
decreased the length of service that a
wheel may be depended on to perform.
The uniformity in gauge keeps cars in
more continuous use. while the decrease
in time of loading and unloading enables
them to be put to more active service
even where they are run only on short
local routes. These figures do not in
clude the wheels on palace coaches and
the better class of passenger coaches.
The wheels on that grade of rolling
stock are now made almost exclusively
Of paper. They are as serviceable as
iron, and combine lightness with
strength, great desideratum where
speed and economy in motive power are
of paramount Importance"

April, the most pleasant and beautiful
month of the spring in this, our balmy
Southern climate, is upon us. 'Tis Mt
this season, as the poet informs us, that
'the minds of youth lightly turn to
thoughts of love-" All nature has
donned its vernal robe, the fragrant
flowers and beautiful blossoms abound,
and the birds sing their merry songs.
This is also a season for practical mat
tiers when the minds of practical people
are seriously turned to thoughts of light
apparel and good clothes. The heavy
garments of winter are to be cast aside
and seasonable clothing put on. In
casting about our city Astounding In well
stocked establishments, one desires to
select place where he can find varie-
ty, and at the same time the finest quail
ity of goods. Nowhere in the city can
this be more readily done than at the
grand, palatial establishment of j. Joske
Il Sons, who are eminently the leaders in
their lines. Their immense and popular
establishment occupying Nos. 10 and 10,
Alamo street, and extending clear back
to Losoya street, is filled with one of the
largest, finest and best assorted sto cks
to be found in any city. Clothing and
dry goods in endless variety, and all ar
ticles pertaining to dress for ladies or
gentlemen, tailoring, ETC., can be found
here, and the customer can inspect the
| goods beneath the bright glare of day

"THERE remains one curious phenome-
non in the cautious struggle for nomina-
tions," says the New York Sun. "Almost
every Republican candidate now thinks
il advisable to couple his name with Mr..
Lincoln's. Mr.. Edmunds' friends had
the wit and sound sense to originate this
device. They flung out the banner of
Edmunds and Lincoln. Then followed
Arthur and Lincoln, Sherman and Lin
coin. Finally, and with evident reluct-
ance, Mr.. Blaine submitted TO the inevi-
table, and we now hear the cry Of Blaine
and Lincoln. No doubt General Logan
regrets the constitutional clause which
makes it impossible for him to hoist also
the flag of Logan and Lincoln. If this
fashion goes on we shall presently see
the Democrats take il up and the coun-
try will resound with cries of Tilden and
Lincoln, Randall and Lincoln, Mcdonald
and Lincoln, Payne and Lincoln, Cooper
and Lincoln, Flower and Lincoln and so
on. BY the way, n man whom every
body wants for Vice President might not
make bad President"

ALONG with the pistol the professional
juror will have to go. Public opinion is
rapidly setting against that class of loaf
ers, and their day will soon be ended.
But 1t Is a remarkable fact that when
business man is summoned as a Juror he
makes most vigorous kick and keeps it
up until the Judge let's him off, and is
most always the first man to complain
about the proceedings of the court.

of so-called Democratic factions, and
there has been an increase of general
distress, and the plain people of the

not do to trust Democracy with the

The Arctic Horror.

DELPHI { Ind J, Aug ia little
after this morning the body of
William Whistler, late member of
the Greedy party, was exhumcd.
There were present two physicians.
Whistlers father, his aged grand
father, his grandmother, and ha,f
dozen laborers and several reporters.
The grave where the body was in
tered is near Rockfield, three miles
east of this place. 1t is a country
church-yard, containing not more
than dozen graves. The body was
exhumed and taken under the
shade of a tree. About ten
minutes were required to loosen
the bolts of the casket. Inside was
a quantity of cotton waste, which,
with the corpse, filled the coffin.
Whistler's remains were wrapped in
muslin, and holding this in place
was hemp cord. A heavy blanket
was next the body. There was DO
further clothing. The head was
covered with cloth skull cap, with
seal skin on the outside, and REM
nants of mittens were OH his hands.
The face and trunk were in good
preservation. His red hair and
beard easily identified him to his
friends. All the flesh had been cut
from Whistler's arms and legs. The
limbs were perfectly bare of muscle.
The right foot, which was frozen,
was not touched by knife, and the
left hand was cut only to the wrist.
The breast was not touched, but
every particle of flesh was stripped
from the back. The physicians
found nothing in the stomach. The
doctors will make no report OF their
observations unless asked by the
Government.
