Richard N. Dowd, commissary of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road, is the oldest railroad man in Con- necticut, having commenced September 1st, 1841, as station agent at Meriden, from which place he was transferred to Belle Dock, New Haven. From there he entered the service of the Hartford, Providence and Fishkil railroad. When the New Haven and New London rail- road was opened he became its super intendent. At first, trains only ran to the Connecticut river, but ferry boat was purchased to transfer the passengers across the Connecticut river, and then the road was extended to New London. While the late Hon. H. P. Haven was president of the New London Northern railroad, MT. Dowd left the Shore line to become super intendent of the New London, Williman- tic and Palmer railroad which position he filled until he became the purchasing agent of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, which office he still holds. On the 1st of next month he will have spent forty three years in the railroad service. *s1

WATER FOR INFANTs.-With the excep- tion of tuberculosis, Inc disease is so fatal in infancy as the intestinal catarrh of in- fancy, occurring especially during the hot summer months, and caused, ill the great majority of cases, by improper diet. There are many upon whom the idea does not seem to have impressed itself that an infant can be thirsty without at the same time being hungry When milk, the chief food of infants, is given in excess, acid fermentation results. causing vomit- ing, diarrhpa, with passage of green or greenish-yellow stools, elevated tempera- ture, and the subsequent train of symp- toms which are too familiar to need repe- tition. The same thing would occur in an an adult if drenched with milk. The in- fants need not food but drink. The rec concentrations of some writers that barley water or gum water should be given to the little patients in these cases, is sufficient explanation of their want of success in treating this affection. Pure water is per- fectly innocuous to infants, and it is diff cult to conceive how the seeming preju- dice against it ever arose. Any one who has ever noticed the avidity with which a fretful sick infant drinks water, and marks the early abatement of febrile and other symptoms, will be convinced that water, as beverage, quencher eff thirst, as a physiological necessity, in fact, should not be denied to the helpless members of so- ciety. We have often seen an infant which had been dosed cd aa0atseona for gastro- intestinal irritability, assume, almost at once, more cheerful appearance and rap- idly become better when treated to the much needed draught of water. If any one prescription is valuable enough to be used in routine practice, it is ''give the baby water. ."-Dr. J. s. Wilson.

4 Model Prayer.

THE late Methodist Bishop Gilbert Haven
presided over Texas Conference in 1878.
Two colored preachers had their immoralities
exposed which lead the Bishop to speak very
strongly in rebuke, saying, that in the re-
gion he came form such conduct would
send men to the penitentiary and not into
the pulpit. The next morning he called on
colored brother to pray. His prayer was
reported in the Southwestern
Advocate as follows;
go Lord, dou am honest. great an holy;
noting dat am unclean an dishonest can
tuch de, o, Lord, come an teach all classes
an colors de lesson OBJ honesty; make um
honestr wild dare tongues, dare feet, dare
hans an dare heads. o, Lord, make um
honest inside an out, in de dark an in de
light. o, Lord, sweet Babe of Bethlehem,
come and Dress our Bishop; front an fight
his ebry battle; send him threw dis world
like pigeon on de wings OBJ de eagle, an

mount de chariot an hab short ride home
an den, Lord on de plains oh glory, him
self all covered wild glory, let him ground
his arms near de throne OBJ de Lamb, an lib,
an rest, an shout, foreber an eber.n
The prayer was uttered with well con-
trolled and musical voice, with power and
pathos no one could forget. At the close a
valley of "amens' arose from all who were
in the house.
