Young Men in Railway Offices.

Charles Francis Adams, Jr, recently
delivered an address to the students of
Harvard University on the subject of
Railroad management as profession,
and though he did not hold out any
promise that the pathway of the ''iron
horse would prove an easy route to
fortune, he maintained that, Mt least, it
was one in which industry, perseverance
and ability would tell more quickly
than in some other professions.
There is an old saying of Napoleon
that Every private carries in his KNAPP
sack a marshars baton" So here
There is no easy way to thorough and
proficient knowledge. but there is way
in which some may travel and acquire
eminence.
If we suppose young man is decid-
ing between the law and railroading,
what should | say to him concerning
his chances. supposing industry, devo-
ton. temperance. the same? If you
enter any of the learned professions, it
requires at least three years of study be-
fore you are prepared for practice, and
two years longer before living practice
can be obtained. In all, five years will be
consumed, during which time you will
not earn cent.
Now, supposing a person. relying on
his individuality, enters railroad office.
He is in the condition of the start of a
cadet at West Point or Annapolis. His
living is provided from the beginning.
Perhaps he may not get more than fifty
dollars month at first, but by the end
of five years he will be as far advanced
as the new lawyer or physician.
The beginning must be humble, how
ever. "You will have to begin at the
bottom" Mr.. Adams continued, land
go forward step by step.
The father of young gentleman
came to me and asked me if there was
an opening on railroading for his son.
Certainly l said, Il win get him a
position as brakeman on this road
The look on the fathers face was a
study. The offer was not taken, and
yet / should think that turning a brake
would be more enjoyable than driving
quill"
Suppose that the beginner prefers the
quill. Then most likely he will be
placed in the finance department, and
compelled to sit on tall stool with
ledger before him, from nine in the
morning to six at night The construc-
ton department is more agreeable, for
this is connected with outdoor life and
the camp; but here, too, there is drudg-
ery-the drudgery which must be looked
for in every walk of life.
The chief advantage, then, which MIR.
Adams claimed for "railroading" was
that it enabled the beginner to earn
something at the outset of his career in
stead of having to wait, as in other pro-
LESSONS.

The encounter began in the kitchen,
and the woman retreated out of the
kitchen door. He followed and threw
at her chair, which was found at the
point =. In front of the kitchen door
are few boards about six feet long
forming sort of floor. On these the
body of the dying man was found

stern face that was presented to the re-
porter's view when the bloody face-cloth
was turned back. The countenance was
framed in fringe of heavy white throat
whiskers below and white hair at the
sides. The sunken cheeks and pro-
jecting chin were covered thickly with
the stubble of white beard. The lips
We're deeply sunken into the toothless
mouth while the short, thick, heavy nose
was prominent above. The forehead
and top head were low, retreating and
bald, but above and behind the ears the
head was of remarkable prominence and
fringed with stiff white hair. Even
without its CHASTITY wounds it would have
been grim face and head. But the
eyelids were black and swollen till they
filled the whole cavities and the forehead
was blue and bloody with bruises. The
fatal wound at the back of the head was
partly hidden by the hair.
Mrs. Tyrell's legal defense will be
that the terrible deed was done in self
defense-that she had reason to believe
that if she did not kill him he would kill
her. Some of the neighbors with whom
the HERALD reporter talked think her
defense is good. They represent Tyrell
as having been a harsh, tyrannical and
dangerous man. Others speak better
of him.
Some time ago Mrs. Tyrell made APP
plication to the County Judge to have
Tyrell examined, claiming that he was
insane. Judge Carter granted the APP
plication and Tyrell was taken to Bos-
cobel and examined by Drs. Armstrong
and Carley, who pronounced him sane.
When Tyrell was in town Tuesday he
applied to Judge Carter to have his
wife examined for insanity. The appli-
cation was refused, as it was evidently
made in retaliation for Mrs. Tyrells
application.

A little castor oil should afterward be

dip them occasionally in oil. Where

Such heads should be washed once n

Above all, avoid all patent hair oils,

OUR CHICAGO MARKET REPORT.

CHICAGO, June %, 1886.
The grain market for tho last week
have reached very low prices, but now
shows improvements, and the markets
to-day are more active and stronger.
Higher markets abroad, firmer eastern
markets, and brisk export movement
in New York caused q better demand
here, with higher prices. Wheat is
more active and prices averaged higher.
Corn is quite firm, though there is nc
material change in prices, but much
better feeling exists. Oats are slightly
firmer owing to small offerings. Rye
is steady and firm, while barley is still
dull. Seeds are quiet.
Vegetables and green fruit are in large
supply and easy. Dairy products sell
moderately and prices a little lower.
Hides are active and high. Cattle con.
tinue plentiful, and are selling at lower
prices-ruling fully so to 40c. per 100
pounds lower than two weeks ago, or
an average and lower than last year
this time. The receipts of hogs are un.
usually large for this time of the year
and prices are q shade lower. Sheer
areactive and prices steady.

Art is a Jealous Mistress.

One squad of chorus girls was com.
posed of five noviccs. They were Young
and pretty. and had been hired for those
slightly qualities only, since they had
nothing more difficult to do than figure
in poses and an Amazon march. This
was full-dress rehearsal, so-called
though the performers were in scant
raiment. There was no vestige Of
drapery on these five. Every article Of
apparel was tight, from neck TO heels
They were marched counter-marched
and posed industriously for ten min
utes.
They are the jackknives," said my
companion.
"And why SO singularly namedP"
asked.
Because they are prone to shut up on
themselves, was the reply; ''they are
new to that sort of costume, you under
stand, and their irresistible impulse is
to bend forward at an angle from the
hips-a feminine characteristic, under
such circumstances of garb, may be, but
not picturesque on the stage They are
being cured of that fault. Under the
trunk of her dress each wears what is
called a booster that is, rudimentary
pair of pantaloons made awfully tight.
You've heard of the fond mother who
made her boys first pair of trousers
without rearward slack, the consequence
being that whenever he bent forward to
go down stairs he was boosted suddenly
heels over head. Well. these girls are
not overturned when they try to stoop,
but are gently, firmly admonished to re-
main upright. Oh, art is exacting, and
her deyotees must submit to severe train

1t is a little more than three miles east
of the village of Mt. Hope. The natural
surroundings make a scene of perfect
rural beauty. A little prairie valley with
its clear, ripping brook, green with a

with an oak grove, the slope covered
with small field of young corn. But
