For the SENTINEL
IN A LADY,S ALBUM.
By EDWARD PAYsoS HALL.

BY EDWARD PAYsoy HALL.
Dear lady, you've asked me to scribble. of
course
Because, iE your eye, Pm marvel in verse;
Because you're too partial, too gen'rous and
kind
To know the true state of my ater-logged
mind
Dear lady, don't think
That your pen and your ink
With thought-pearls will drip at my magical
touch
With pretty pet verses, sweet couplets and such |
Ny peg is an iron-clad plodder, you know
Not sweet-singing swan skimming over the
snow;
Sometimes, when inditng Bucolics, he whimes
With sure enough collie 'mongst green melon
vines.
Dear lady, don't think
That your pen and your ink
Will e'er need his aid. But your beauty and
grace.
Are poem whose title is writ in your face

Symptoms of Hog Cholera.

The following are such symptoms as
we have observed to attend the disease
known as hog cholera: Coughing,
falling off in flesh, diarrhoe, vomiting
especially soon after eating. Red and
watery eyes; ears droop, the back is
bumped, head hangs low, REDDISH or
purplish spots on skin along the belly
and the inside of the thighs. The hog
is sensitive to the touch, as if sore. AT
times constipation instead of diarrhoe.
Hog seeks the shade and lies fat for
hours; no disposition to move.
AS long as they will eat there is
hope. On first sight ofsymptoms give
each hog a tablespoonful of magnesia
We have cured several slight attacks
with this simple remedy. = little
latter give quinine, ten grains in a lit
tie meal mash. Force the food down
if the hogs will not eat.

RHEUMATISM.

One author SAYS: ''RheumatlSm Is due to
the presence in the blood of vegetable organ
ism of definite characters
Another says; at is due to the presence OF
a pioson in the blood which is of the nature
of masm.'
The disease having its origin in the blood, it
is reasonable to suppose that it must be cured by
remedies directed to the blood.
successful remedy must produce certain
changes in the composition of the blood, and
when this has been accomplished, all pains,
swelling and stiffness of the joints subide.
This accounts for the reason why external
application fail to produce permanent relief,
But we now have the remedy which acts
like magic in giving relief to all form of rheu-
maJism rheumatic gout rheumatism of the

Legislative Grants of MonOpOlies.

From. the Ne,o Yerd Herald.
In 1879 the people of Louisiana en-
bodied in their Fundamental law the
declaration that "the monopoly fea-
lures in the charter of any corporation
now existing in this State, save such
as may be continued in the charter of
railroad companies, are hereby abol-
ished"
Prior to the adoption of this consti-
tutional provision the Legislature of
the State had granted to the New Or
leans Gas Light Company the exclu-
sive right of supplying that city with
gas light for fifty years from 1875, and
to the New Orleans Water Works
Company the sole privilege of furnish
ing the city with water from the Mis-
sissippi River for fifty years, begin
ming in 1877.
Each of these monopolies is now up
held by the United States Supreme
| Court in spite Of the anti-monopoly
provision in the constitution Of 1879.
| The Court decides that in each instance
| the legislative grant was a contract
which could not be broken even by
the representatives of the people in
constitutional convention without VIC
lating that clause of the federal con-
stitutional which forbids State toim-
pair the obligation of contracts. In
one of the cases the Court held that
not even the lessees of the St. Charles
Hotel, though clothed with municipal
authority, had the right to supply
their own houses with water drawn
from the Mississippi through pipes
laid by themselves. Every water con-
sumner and every gas consumer was
bound to take from the monopoly
company or 60 without light and wa
ter.
The same principle was affirmed in
a Kentucky case. In 1876 the Legis-
lature granted to the Louisville Gas
Light Company the exclusive privi-
lege of supplying that city with gas
light for twenty years. In 1872 the
Citizens Gas Light Company OF
Louisville was chartered by the Leg.
islature, and the validity of the char.
ter was affirmed by the Kentucky
Court of Appeals. Jhis decision is
reversed and the monopoly of the first
company is upheld by the United
/ States Supreme Court.

DO RAILROAD ExPREssEsp.D


The New York Herald of January
1, in its report ofthe meeting of the
stockholders committee of the Read
ing Railroad, gives in full the commit
tees report of the history and opnra-
ton of that road. Speaking of the ex-
press business which is done by the
road itself, the report says:
"The company runs an express Ser
vices of its own throughout the terri
tory covered by its lines of railway.
This is not separate organization, its
entire receipts, after payment of ex-
pences for rents, salaries and wages,
maintenance of horses, &C., being
turned over to the treasury of the
company. In the 1884 its gross re-
ceipts amounted to S42S,OOO, and its
net profits we're stated to be S164,O0O.
Upon examination by the committee
it was found that nothing is charged
against the gross receipts for trans
portation, whereas 40 per cent, is the
usual charge for that service made by
other companies; that at points COM
petitive with other express companies
the railroad employees handle the ex-
press matter and are paid extra there
for, which, however, is not charged
against the express business; that ex-
press freight is carried on any and all
passenger trains, and that any loss or
damage arising from accident is
chargeable to the railroad company
and not against a reserve fund, which
it is customary to maintain for such
purpose.
If the 40 percent, of the gross earn
ings, the usual amount payed for trans
portation by the regular express COM
panies to railroad companies, had been
charged against the gross receipts ii
would have shown loss in the express
| business to the road of $4,000.
The Lynchburg Ne,cs of December
II, 1885, gives the annual report of the
Richmond and Allegheny Railroad
another which does its own express
business. The gross earnings from ex
press were s1O,666, and the Expenses
for conducting transportation of ex
press" were s13,562. Now, if the AZ
percent, of the earnings were charged
against the expenses, it would show
that the road had operated the express
business at loss of 81 1852 to the stock
holders. From the reports of thes'
two roads, it would appear that so fal
as pecuniary benefits are concerned
the railroad expresses are decided fail
ures.
