BosroN, May 26.--The special COM
mittec of the United States senate, inves.
tigating the subject Of interstate CON-
mcrce continued their hearing to day at
the railroad commissioners Office. VIM.
H. Lincoln by invitation, addressed COM
mittec. He did not think shippers could
complain of present rates, which are RI
diculously low. They are too low for
the interest Of railroad stockholders.
Railroad business, he said, is the worst
and most absurdly managed of any in
the country. One would expect roads to
lower their rates when water competition
is felt, but he had known roads to raise
their rates frequently at such seasons,
and to lower rates when business is more
than can be handled. He thought a
minimum rate should be fixed by law.
Punctuation of rates unsettled business
greatly. Stability of rates is more i'm,
portant than the rate itself, Lincoln be-
lieved the favoritism was shown by the
railroads in giving knowledge of changes
in rates to certain shippers. He thought
a general law, requires at least ten days
notice Of change of rates to certain
shippers. He believed in a national
board Of railway commissioners. Lincoln
protested against the double tariff system
Of railroads. He believed in basing the
tariff spon mileage The pool system Of
the country Lincoln regards as farce.
In any legislation upon the subject Of
rates he believed car load should be a
unit, and that no reduction should be
made in rates for large quantities.

TONIGHr's CONVENTION.

The delegates appointed by the Repub-
fcans of the several wards to the Nomi-
mating Convention to be held at Black $
Opera House tonight now have an opPor-
tunity to give strong, vigorous impulse
to the Republican cause in Ohio, by using
the very best material in nominating

Republicans to send good, honest men to
the convention, who should act Impair
TALLY, tonight-not in the interest OF indi-
viduals but solely in the interest OF the Re-
publican party and the people of the city.
This they can only do by selecting for the
Office of mayor, marshal, solicitor, &c,
he men who would be most likely to dis
charge the duties Of their positions in an
impartial, thorough and vigorous manner,
without fear or favor, and in a manner to
promote the reign of law, order and de-
cency. The men nominated must be OF
such a character as not simply to secure
the support of Republicans but must be
men also whose qualities and fitness will
command the respect of men Of all parties.
The men nominated must be free from all
suspicion of having made corrupt use OF
money; and must be known to be men OF
integrity, who will, if elected, give US a
faithful ad dninistration and enforcement OF
the laws II we have ticket of this sort

Punctuation.

Macauley was one of the most par
hcular authors as to punctuation, and
his works can be recommended as
models to those who desire to gain a
knowledge of the art. Jeffrey. the first
editor of the Edinburgh ReUiesc, prided
himself upon his ability in punctuating
Lord Cockburn said of him: There
was no one of the friends of his later
acquisition for whom he had greater
admiration or regard than Lord Macau-
ley, and he testified the interest which
he took in this great writer's fame by a
proceeding which. considering his age
and position, is not unworthy of being
told. This Judge, of "a, revised the
proof sheets of Macaulay's first volumes
of The History of England with the
diligence and minute care of corrector
of the press toiling for bread, not mere
ly suggesting changes in the matter
and the expression, but attending to
the very commas and colons-a task
which, though humble, would not be
useless, because it was one at which
long practice had made him very skill
full, indeed, he used to boast that it was
ono of his peculiar excellences. On
returning proof to an editor of the
RerieU, he says: II have myself recti-
fled most of the errors. and many valu-
able verbal improvements in a small
way. But my great task has been with
the punctuation, on which l have, as
usual, acquitted myself to admiration.

Robbed of his Fees.

DR.. Hauffe, the celebrated physician
of Vienna, one day received a telegram
from Cracow requesting him to repair
thither with all haste, as Moses Abra-
hanson was very i'll and required ad-
vice. This Moses was known to be
one of the richest men of his tribe.
The doctor, who had an enormous
practice and was very busy at the
time, wired back: my fee will be two
thousand fiorins." A second dispatch
urged him to come without delay, but
added that he might surely do il for less.
Not kruetzer less than two thous-
and forins," was the reply fromVienna,
whereupon a final telegram came to

Drawing Drafts on the Future.

A man in China endowed with much
forethought can make some provisions
for his own future comfort. The priests
have CONSIDERABLY organized bank for
the spirit world. To this the provident
may remit large sums during their life
time, and can draw on the bank as
soon as they reach the dark country.
The priests periodically announce their
intention of remitting money on a GER
tain day, and invite all who have any
to deposit to bring it. All who feel
doubtful of the generosity of their next
heirs accordingly come and buy from
the priests as much as they can afford
of the tinfoil paper money which is
current among the spirits. 1t is an ex-
cellent investment, as for handful of
brass cash, altogether worth about one
penny, they will receive sycee, 1. E., the
boat-shaped blocks of silvery looking
iinfoil. bearing a spiritual value of
about $50. Paper houses, furniture,
and clothes may in like manner be pur-
chased and stored beforehand in the
happy security that neither moth nor
ru shall corrupt them; neither shall
thieves break through and steal. When
the depositor (probably poor coolie
or an aged beggar) has invested his
little savings in this precious rubbish
in the ecclesiastical bazaar he delivers
it to the priest, together with sum of
real money as commission. For this
the priest gives written receipt. Ali
this din is thrown into large boat. 1t
is framework of reeds with bamboo
mast, and its sails and planking are of
paper. When all the depositors have
made their payments, the priests walk
several times round the boat, chanting
some incantation, then simultaneously
set fire to both ends, and the paper
fabric vanishes in flash of flame. The
priests bid the depositors keep their
certificates with all care, and give them
to some trustworthy person to burn
after their decease, whereupon the said
certificates will reach them safely in
the dark world, and they can draw
their money as required. All this
seems to be implicitly believed by a
whole great nation, who in all other
respects are probably the most astute
business race in the world. Such is
the strange power of a groveling super
stition!-THe British Quarterly ReUie,0.

The Methods of Pickpockets,

Purses and watches are the almost
exclusive haul of the pickpocket, and
80 per cent of these thefts happen in
crowds. Many of the quarrels to be
heard in the streets of London are got
up entirely for the purpose of collect
ing crowds for the pickpocket to work
In. Some thieves operate simply with
their hands, but others use knife or
razor, in order to cut through the coats
and dresses, and especially to get the
purses from the ladies. The trorser-
pocket OF a man can easily be empiied
in crowd by sliding down the seam
with razor, hooking the instrument
INTO the aperture, and saving from
within outward. A thief will often do
his work with an oyercoat on his arm
to hide the movements of his hands,
this especially in the omnibus or train.
Newspapers and handkerchiefs are also
used for this purpose, and with the
help of the latter it is common for
scarf-pins to be stolen. Excuse me.
sir, you have some dust on your neck"
says the thief to the victim, and in pre-
tending to brush off the dust he re-
moves the pin by grasping it through
the handkerchief. When watch is
stolen it is generally separated by
grasping the instrument itself in one
hand, and the ring thereof between the
thumb and finger of the other. and then
giving sharp twist, so that tiny
steel gives away and falls, the watch
being taken and the chain left hanging,
Inspector Shaw wears watch that is
fastened to its ring with tough gold
screw, and secures it with an India
