Much for Little.

In this age when the events of yes
terday in all parts of the world are
found in to-day's paper; when It'd
ings of battle in Egypt or China are
flashed across seas and laid at our
door before its smoke is dissipated, it
is necessary for well Informed people
to have access to reliable maps. Not
all can afford the heavy library atlas
es, and even they are often found un-
Trustworthy unless a new copy is
purchased as often as revised.
If you want an atlas, small enough
for general use, full enough tor near
ly every purpose, critically accurate
and up to date, we recommend the
new Handy Atlas of the World, pub
lished by Messrs. Ivison, Brakeman,
Taylor, & Co.. 753 and 755 Broadway,
New York, which is both a credit to
them and to the American press. 1t
is bound IN flexible cloth. contains 38
beautifully colored maps and impor-
tant statistics. Among its many
notable good things are maps show
ing standard time, the railways of
the United States. recent polar expe-
ditiOns, Central Africa as explored
by Stanley, the seat of the Egyptian
war, Bible Lands, and our principal
American cities. If your bookseller
does not have this excellent work,
send fifty cents direct to the publish
ers and receive it by return mail.

"A Blazin' Discount"

An episode in the life ofa visitor
in a little Southern town several
years ago: The village auctioneer
was riding up and down the sandy
street on a pretty bad case of horse
flesh, for which he was vainly trying
to get bid. Who will give FIVE
thousand dollars for this elegant sad
die horse ?-as kind as a spaniel, and
as swift as deer! She has the
strength of wah hoss, is as playful
as kitten, and knows MORN most
people. Who'll give five thousand ?
Anything less would be a robbery of
her owner and an insult to the no.
blest beast on tn y'ath. She's made
her record on the race cOu'se, and
durIn' the wah she never fiinched
from a Yankee gun. Who'll give
five thousand ? How much'll any
body give? Gentlemen I'll leave it
to your honah to make a bid. What
do you think such noble creatur's
worth ? Will anybody dab to give
less ?, How much do 1 hear? After
a long and anxious pause voice on
the sidewalk was heard to exclaim in
clear, distinct deliberate tones, 1.-TWO
dollars and a-haIf" "Take her ~
was the quick response of the auc-
tioneer, as he nearly threw the mis-
cradle parody of horseflesh on her
launches, by the vigor with which
he reined her in, lest the offer might
be recalled. Take her, Colonel ;
she's your'n! But it's blazin' dis
count"

On a suburban theatre train the

NUMBER l

Compare carefully the time sched-
ule of the B. d O. with the much
vaunted and sO-called "limited" tim e
schedules of other lines, and note
points which must be of interest to
the visitor to the Inauguration, as
they directly concern his pock ket-book.
Observe that the B. & o. "limited
express trains" not only equal in time
those OF rival roads, hut not infre-
quently excel; and this, notwith-
standing the cool manner in which
''extras" are demanded, upon the
assumption that all the earth cannot
produce such facilities. time, and all
that sort Of thing, you know, a. af-
forded on lines where the "Iimit"
generally refers to the extent Of the
passengers "ducats." On pictures
que B. & 0. no extras are demanded,
nothing above the usual fare exacted,
and one simply pays his money and
takes his choice of trains to the inau-
guration, and is not told he cannot
go On the "limited."

A Merchants Story.

A member of a large mercantile
nm recently gave me a bit of his
early experience. He said:
ri was seventeen years Old when /
leF the country store where l had
tended for three years, and came to
bston in search of place. Anxious,
oLcourse. to appear at the best ad-
vantage, l spent an unusual amount
OF time and solicitude upon my
toilet, and when it was completed l
surveyed my reflection in the glass
with no little satisfaction, glancing
lastly and most approvingly upon
seal ring which embellished my little
nnger, and my cane, very pretty
afair, which l had purchased with
sthess reference to this occasion.
my first days experience was not

he, smiling at my embarrassment -
"If 1 were in want of a clerk, would

"For a moment mortified vanity

Give Water to Infants.

A physician of the New York Nur-
sery and Child's Hospital believes,
from his practice, that infants gener-
ally, whether brought up at the
breast or artificially, are not supplied
with sufficient water, the fluid por-
tion of their food being quickly taken
up, and leaving the solid too thick to
be easily digested. In warm, dry
weather, healthy babies will take
water every hour with advantage,
and their frequent fretfulness and rise
of temperature is often directly due
to their not having it. A free supply
of water, and restricting the fire.

the nursery to be most etfectual

diminished rate of mortality and
marked reduction in the number of

ing attributed to this cause. In teeth

The fact that the only other line
from the West must reach Washing
ton by a circuitOus route, and that
all its passenger traffic from the
North and East must combine with
all its Western traffic on the last
forty odd miles into the national cap
ital, is the strongest of arguments in
favor of the B. & o., which enters
Washington from the West by one
division, and enters from the North
and East by another. Those who
want to get into Washington will go
by the B. & o. and be assured of re-
naming in the cars until they reach
the city.

INGERsOLL's STAR ROUTE FEE
Ex-senator Dorsey is quoted by
st. Louis interviewer: "Well, it
very curious how Ingersoll was paid
for his defense of me. From the be-
ginning to the end of the trial Inger-
soil meyer asked me for a dollar.
One day, after | had been acquitted
on the second trial, l met Ingersoll
and asked him how much l owed
him. He at first declined to talk
about it, saying he had no charge to
make, and he didn't care if he never
got cent. l asked him to walk a
few squares with me, and We went to
the Safe Deposit building. unlock
ed my box and took out four per
cent. government bond for 100000
and gave it to him. He put it in his
pocket and we walked away, and

An East India Version of the Flood.

In East India there is a legend that
ages ago mankind became so very
bad that God determined to destroy
all except just enough to begin with
anew. The exceptions were mostly
preserved in golden palace on a
mountain top. A boy and girl, born
of parents who were "neither good
nor bad, had been previously carried
off by an angel from their respective
homes on the day of their birth, and
were brought up in crystal palace
suspended in mid-air, where they
were tended by mute female figure
of gold. When they grew up they
were married, and a girl was born to
them. The destruction Of the wicked
having been effected by fire, the earth
was thereby greatly smirched. So
giants were sent to wash it clean.
They used so much water that de-
luge was produced, and the waters
rose so high that the golden palace
and its inmates were in danger of be-
ing submerged.

The B. & O. has in Washington and
in its lines reaching the city advan-
tages for the prompt care Of its pa
irons in Inauguration times possessed
by none other. In fact, its facilities
are beyond all comparison the best,
and those who want to get in and out
of the city in anything like comfort
able shape will possess themselves of
B. & o. tickets. There are but two
railroad depots in Washington. One
of them is the B. q o. wherein only
its own passengers and their friends
have any business, and wherein only
its own trains arrive and depart. In
the other, East-bound trains and
West-bound, South-bound trains and
North-bound, of various roads, fill
every inch of track space, clog the
depot platform like sheep in zen,
and sardines IN a box would be
loose comparison to the packed con-
dition of things in the waiting room.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1885-02-28

The B. & o. depot, in Washington,
is so exceedingly handy to the capitol
practically next square-that no
road in the city can equal it in point
of accessibility. Another great adj
vantage lies in the fact that the B. &
o. has its own depot used exclusive
ly for its own trains. When the time
for departure comes after the inaugu-
raj proceedings are at an end, there
is inevitably a rush to the depots. In
such depots where there are various
roads, one can readily imagine the
confusion which must exist, and the
consequent risk of getting upon
wrong trains. Nothing of this kind
can occur at the B. & 0. depot, where
the platforms are spacious, and where
there is no crowding and jamming to
get through narrow gates, and being
showed back with the diScOuraging
announcement that it is mot your
train"

When the B. & o. announced its
rates for the Inauguration, it meant
that the tickets should be good on all
trains. 1t is the only line upon
which the Inauguration tickets will
be good upon limited express trains.
