THE PEOPLE AND THE RAIL
ROADS,

There is . fierce war waging out
West between the people and the
railroads. In the Minnesota legisla-
ture bill has been proposed which,
according to the Springfield Repub-
kcdn, s'requires the roads to take
freight wherever offered along the
lines, gives the railroad commission
power TO fix freight rates, up to a
maximum point named in the bill, and
to bring suits for all refusals to CON-
ply with the law. The railroads op-
pose the fixed scheme, which has
failed wherever tried outside of Illi-
nois, and say that they have been
giving monopoly to elevators only
in places where there is not business
enough for two. There is much less
feeling in Wisconsin and the only bill
pending there gives the commission
er power to investigate complaints
and enforce his orders in the same
general way that the hoard of this
state does. No attempt will be made
to fix freight rates. but bills are pend
lag TO- tax express and sleeping car
companies for the support of the
state as is done with all the corpora
tieas in Vermont
In the Nebraska legislature a bill
has been presented, fixing passenger
rates at three cents mile for roads
which have been helped by the gov
ernment and 81 cents on other
roads; freight is divided into five
classes, as is done in Illinois, and

Gone More Kiss, Mamma. !"

l rocked my baby boy awhile.
And called out many sleepy smile
Upon the little lips, till he
Almost asleep had seemed to be.
Then in his crib | laid him down,
My little lamb, with eyes so brown,
And kissed the rosebud mouth so sweet,
And turned to go, with noiseless feet.
But quick from mischiefiand there flew
A little sprte. What did he do
But whisper to my sleepy pet,
''Don't let mamma go from you yet"
Then sat my boy right up in bed.
And shook his tangled, curly head;
''Me no as'eep, mamma" cried he,
$50 turn an tis me- one, two, free!"
"Just one kiss more," said, and pressed
The little form close to my breast;
But multiplying one by ten,
/ kissed him DER and DER again,
Till, thinking that he was satisfied.
Again I left my darling's side;
Bnt, just as I had reached the door,
A roguish voice called, 'Jes one kiss more
/ went again with kisses sweet
His own dear coaxing lips to meet,
And, while waited, singing low,
To dreamland he at last did go.
All, me! when he shall older grow,
Will mothers kisses please him so?
God guide us both till life be DER,
And 1 may kiss my boy no more.

DO YOU WANT
AYERS
Hair VigOr

restores, with the gloss and freshness of
youth, faded or gray hair to natural, rich
brown color, or deep black, as may be desired.
By its use light or red hair may be darkened,
thin hair thickened, and badness often,
though not always, cured.
1t checks falling of the hair, and stimu
lates weak and siekly growth to vigor. 1t
prevents and cures scurf and dandrutf, and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
scalp. AS Ladies' Hair Dressing, the
VIGoR is unequalled; it contains neither oil
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and
silken in appearance, and imparts delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
Mr.. G. P. BRICHER writes from Kiy6y. o..
JuIy g. 1882 " Last fall my hair commenced
falling out, and in q short time | became
nearly bald. L used part of bottle of
AYERS HAIR VIGOR, which stopped the fall
ing of the hair, and started new growth.
have now full head of hair growing vigor-
ously, and am convinced that but for the
use of your preparation should have been
entirely bald"
j, W, BOWEN, proprietor of the McArthur
(OhiO) Enquirer, says LAYERS HAIR VIGoR
is most excellent preparation for the hair
speak of it from my own experience. Its
use promotes the growth of new hair, and
makes it glossy and soft. The VIGoR is also
a sure cure for dandruff. Not within my
knowledge has the preparation ever failed
to give entire satisfaction"
MR.. ANGUS FAIRBAIRN, leader of the
celebrated Fairbairn Family of Scottish
VOcalists, writes from Boston, Mass, Feb. 6,
1880: Ever since my hair began to give sill
very evidence of the change which tieeting
time procureth, l have used AYERS HAIR
VIGoR, and SO have been able to maintain
an appearance of youthfulness "a matter of
considerable consequence to min eters, ora
tors, actors, and in fact every on6 who lives
in the eyes of the public
Mrs. o. A. PRESCOTT, writing from Is Elm
ST., ChdrieSto,rH, M1sS., Aprit H. 1882, says !:
"Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair
came off. 1t thnned very rapidly, and was
fast growing bald. On using AYERS HAIR
VIGoR the falling stopped and new growth
commenced, and in about a month my head
was completely covered with short hair. 1t
has continued to grow, and is now as good as
before it fell. Iregularly used but one bottle
of the VIGoR, but now use it occasionally as
dressing, u

Slender and shining, prophetic bone,

Told that wish and wishbone both were mine.

Looking up shyly with eyes so true.

''The woman win might look like you:
Her eyes as brown as forest brook,
Her cheek as pink as a sea-shell's tint,
A tender mouth and a Faucy look,
And pale brown hair with golden CLINT;

Hiding her face in my breast, said she,

SPORTS IN INDIA.

In a recent work on the Bombay
Presidency, there is the following de-
scription of the public games in Ba-
roda. where the State possesses no
less than tifty-five elephants, on
which is annually expended about
f16,000, for an elephant is an ex-
pensive beast, whose prime cost is
about f400, while his feeding amounts
to over f200 per annum:
Twenty couples of wrestlers open
the games; fighting rams rush on
each others horns till the loser, fair
ly stuck, falls on his back, every
limb shivering with pain buffaloes
attack one another with incredible
fury; the unwieldy rhinoceros with
his blunted nose-horn enters more
sluggishly into contest with his
brother, and his wicked little red eye
OCliCo MS ClIsl dCtcI WuSH OHC ClC-
phant has turned his back, his vast
opponent butts ponderously into his
side and has to be frightened off with
rockets. The games, however, no
longer contain any great element of
cruelty. Horse no longer fights
against horse the rider no longer in
reality excites and then evades the
| enraged elephant; man no longer
wounds man with hands armed with
sharp steel claws. Not only cruelty,
| but sport is on the wane. Cock fight
ing has been abandoned, the hogs
and hunting leopards are fewer and
less well trained than they were, the
deer preserves are less well stocked,
wild pigs are more seldom met with,
the breeds of dogs and pigeons are
degenerating, and the wrestlers are
| not melted to superhuman efforts by
princely rewards.
Cruelty may be waning, bat it is
evident that there is still room FOR
improvement.

COL. FREQ AND rAe rHIEF.

How Fred Grant Punished tho Pr-loiner
of an Old I.ady's Pocket Book.
[''Halston" in New York Times.l
In an uptown restaurant, few nights
ago. company Of gentlemen sat chatting
over their cigars as they listened to the
music. or course the name Of Gen. Grant
was mentioned, and more than one good
story was told to the old commanders
credit. One Of the party who had been lis
tening without saying much finally broke
In: II don't know much about the general"
he said, "but know that he's got a son who
is true blue; l mean Fred Grant No,
never saw him In my life; but all the same
know what l am talking about when say
that he is Just one OF the manifest fellows
that ever breathed. He was on Washing
ton express train coming over to New York
one day q half dozen years or so ago.
THE cars were crowded and he shared his
seat with an old woman who got on the
train at Baltimore. At Wilmington he left
her to go into the smoker, and the train was
drawing into the old West Philadelphia sta
tion when he returned to his seat away In
the rear OF the coach, The old lady whom
he had left he discovered in the aisle clutch
ing as bost she could at the flying coat-tails
of a burly man who, making a bolt for the
car door, was dragging her after Fred
Grant was at her side in a trice. He has
my money exclaimed the excited woman;
he has my money he's thief
Sired made grab at the coat TAIL but
Just in advance of his grip the coat tail went
flying out Of tho door, young Grant close
after. Into the station went both men.
Once Fred Grants hand was full upon the
fellow, but the Grant blood was up at the
highest pitch ami instead Of laying hold of
the scalawag Fred suddenly planted himself
firmly on the old plank walk and then with
dash that was simply chain lightning out
went his boot, once, twice. thrice, right
under that flying coat tail with thuds that
fairly echoed to the roof 1t was just as II
a pile driver had struck that flying gentle
men. and he spun through the air like a
demoralized football on the Polo grounds.
Yes, he escaped; but, gentlemen, he de-
served every cent that he got. A dozen
necessary repairs.
"The old lady-her tears were dried That
young man Grant took care OF her right
through to New York, and when he put her
In cab to send her to her destination here
a roll Of bills went into her hands too And
when she begged him to toll her his name SC
that she could make good his loan, this Il
what he said: On one condition-that you
will never talk to anybody about what Pve
had the chance to do for you to-day And,
gentlemen, she never did talk about it.

of her choicest treasures She is dead now,
and guess there is no harm In breaking her

is how know and what l know about Fred
