shown From the above statement IL will be
seen that freight men have title room to com
plain of light traffic. The fact is that, but tor
the scar city OF cars, the business of last week
would have been the largest in the history of
the roads There is not an Indianapolis line
which has cars sufficient to move its business

BERLIN. Sept. AT the closing sitting of the
Catholic Diet, at Freiburg, DIR. Windthorst de-
voted a speech to the argument that the restora-
ton of the temporal powers OF the Pope would
add to Bismark's glorious achievements toward
the maintenance Of the worlds peace He said
that friendly but energetic word from the
German Chancellor. backed by Austria would
do much for the Pops, while tho act would make
the best impression on German Catholics, and
be hailed by sensible statesmen in Italy as a
means for combating revolutionary danger.
At the same sitting, Cardinal Lavigerie pre-
seDted an eloquent address on the suppression
OF slavery. He eulogized the work Of the Ger
man explorer, and gave unpublished details and
incidents connected with the death Of Dr.
Nachtical. When DR.. Nschtigal received the
order to proceed to Guinea, he visited Cardinal
Lavigerie, at Tunis, to say goodbye to him, apd
he then expressed fears that the tropical climate
would prove fatal to him. Cardinal Lavigerie
asked TO be allowed to write to Prince Bismarck
or the Emperor. representing to them the cir
cumstances Of the case, but DR.. Nachtigal re-
piled that he knew his duty and would do moth
ing to leave it unfulflled. Two months later
Cardinal Lavigerie heard of his death. Cardinal
Lavigers appealed to the Catholics to use untir-
ing efforts to assist the German government in
suppression Of the slave trade

Bronson Alcort's Oatmeal.

Boston transcript.
Mt. Alco,t was known to be utterly opposed to
the eating OF meat-a strict vegetarian. Moth
ing would arouse his INDIGNATION quicker than TO
bring forward the idea that it was the design of
Providence for man to subsist upon Animal food.
He even refused to taste OF An egg. Some
twelve or fifteen years ago be was welcome
visitor in many of the cities OF the West. His
coming was hailed with delight Dinners were
given, and clubs extended their invitations. He
was ready to talk and others were glad to list
en-.
During one of these visits he was unusually
pale and weary. His hostess rallied HIM upon
his favorite theory OF vegetable diet.
''Mr Alcott, if you would only live as No do
you would soon become strong and robust" she
said. And tho old gentleman, with a placid
smile, made his usual reply
''Aud DO in danger Of becoming bruteln
He was a conuoisseur in the cooking Of oat-
meal, Of which ha always partook in the morn
ing. At this time the lady, feeling sure that mis-
health was seriously impaired, resolved to take
charge herself Of his breakfast. She sent for q
pound of beef, bad it slightly cooked, the juice
extracted, aud we'll stirred into dish Of oatmeal.
Mr. Aleott ate with unusual relish, and dis
coursed elcquently upon the virtues OF grain
that waved IN the sun and air. The next morn
ing the same dish was repeated. and through
out his stay no partook of the pudding aud beet
juice.
1t was noticeable that he had gained rapidly
in health and flesh, and became thoroughly sat
ished with the Western climate. Before he left
he remarked
You must tell me exactly how il was made. and
] must take away a package of the meal"
"Slr. Alcott" was the reply, there Is genius
10 good cooking. and il is hard to impart 1t.
Only come again. and you shall find the dish
equally palatable'
Some days after he had returned home, rest
ed and refreshed. Mrs. II. related the story IN
great glee to her own club.
