this part OF it, at least were on the river but the
railroads have ruined them, except in a few in

more important than the boats. A gentleman

win Surrender the Lease.

J. D. Campbell secretary and general counsel
of the Indiana, Bloomington & Western road,
when shown the article regarding the l., B. &
W. surrendering the lease of the Indianapolis,
Decatur & Springfield road, published in the
Journal of Thursday last, by a reporter of the
New York Indicator, said that the former
part of the statement was correct; that nego-
tiations bad been going on for some months past
looking to the surrender of the lease of the ST.
Louis division to the Indianapolis Decatur &
Springfield. When the lease was entered upon
it was the intention to extend the line to St
Louis but in view of the depression in business
and the fact that the Decatur & Springfield
parties not able to cooperate, this idea had
been relinquished The St Louis division had
been operated at a loss Ton the minimum rental
of 5000, 000) for some time past and the arrange
ment for turning it over to its parent company
was an entirely amicable one between the COM
panies interested. Judge Campbell said: ANY
statement that the arrangement is of anything
but purely fair business character is false"

will take place just now" Regarding their bust
ness he said: Every man in our employ is en-
gagged at present. We are building $50 cars for
the New York Elevated railroad, and have all
the smaller orders on hand that we can handle
just now. think the business outlook is quite
fattering, and hope that we may have year of
great business prosperity. Our own sleeping
car traffic is very large just now and has been
for several weeks. In one week in February we
ran 378 cars into New Orleans. We ran l07 into
that city in one day alone-the 18th of February.
We had a large number of chartered sleepers in
use for the Inauguration; think about l2O or

February Earnings.

In the face Of reports of rate-cuttngs, the tar
diness of business improvement and the climatic
obstacles to railroad traffic. the returns of earn
ings as they are publishedfor February are not
without satisfactory features The Northwest
ern roads publish their earnings more promptly
and frequently than the roads in any other Sec
ton of the country. Consequently the fortunes
of the roads in the Northwest color the views
formed of the railroad situation generally
When reports were received in the early
part of February of snow blockades in the
Northwest, it was naturally expected that the
loss of earnings last month would be very Sc
we're. The loss, however was less than was an
ticipated when, as is usual, comparison is made
with the corresponding month of the previous
wear

ABOUT WALKING.
Recommendations Concerning the Gait, the
Dress, the Place, and Other Matters.

Herald OF Health.
Every healthy person. man or woman, should
be good walker, able at any time to walk six to
twelve miles a day at least, and double that
when gradually brought up to it. The points to
be attended to are, to see that the walk be brisk
and vigorous, not of a lettering or dangling kind
that there be some object in the walk besides its
being routine constitutional H. e., not
like the staid promenade of the ortho
dox ladies' school), and. if possible,
in pleasant company; that there be no tight
clothing whether for the feet or the body, which
will constrain or impede the natural movements
of the limbs and trunk; and that the walk be
taken as far possible in the fresh country air.
In regared to this latter particular, although
towns are increasing so rapidly as to make it al
most journey to get out of them on foot, still
we have SO many suburban tramways and rail
way lines that in a few minutes we can find
ourselves in the country, where the air is
fresh and pure. Whenever an opportunity
presents itself for climbing in the
course of a walk, it should be taken advantage
of. We gain variety of muscular action, as we'll
as increase of exertion, and we get into regions
of purer air and fresher breeze at the same time.
What may be considered the weak point in
walking as a mode of exercise is the compare
lively small play which it gives to the muscles
of the shoulders and chest while it is still less
for those of the arm. This should be compen-
stated for by the use of light dumb bells or In
dian clubs, or some other form OF exercise
which brings in play the arms and
shoulders. One of the forms of exercise
which requires the action of the muscles of the
arms and shoulders, as well as those of the
trunk and legs, is swimming. This, however,
for many reasons, cannot be used as a means of
exercise except by few, and at certain seasons
OF the year, but where possible it should always
be practiced. The great pity is that boys and
girls do not learn it, as a rule while at school
Every large town should be we'll provided with
swimming baths. and if it could be made COM
pnlsory for scholars at certain age, say twelve,

grain. cotton, tobacco, and some lumber.
1t is noticeable, however, that in west-bound
tonnage the largest gain is shown, which is due
somewhat to raising the snow blockades on the
northern routes. Merchandise was received
here last week which had been on the road four
or five weeks. 1t will be noticed in the weekly
statement that every road centering here last
week shows an increased movement in loaded
