CHICAGO, February 29-Dispatches
from Emporia and Topeka, printed here
this morning, assert that dissatisfaction
exists among the engineers on the Atchi-
son. Topeka and Santa Fe system, who,
il is stated, claim that the company has
not lived up 10 its agreement. When
these dispatches were shown 10 the Off
cials Of the Brotherhood in this city they
declared II was the first they had heard
of il, and they did not believe the report
was true Had their men had any griev'
ances they would have heard OF 1t at
least as soon as the newspapers. No
complaints whatever have been made by
the lodges on the Atchison system
United States Marshal Marsh has no OFF,
cial notification calling upon him 10 take
any measures whatever in relation 10 the
strike on the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Road so far there has been no
interruption beyond trivial and indirect
DELAYS to transmission OF the United
States mail and no obstruction in this
direction is apprehended. Thirty-two
engineers in charge of the Burlington
agent arrived on the Pennsylvania Road
last night. The agent would not say
where they came from, but from remarks
dropped by some of them 1t is understood
that they are a part of the consignment
from the Reading Road.
PITTsBURG. PA, February 29.-The

THR STATES COUNSEL.
Mr. Allensworth moved to reduce the
appropriation 10 the civil contingent
fund from $4,000 to Sl0,000. He could
no, understand why $4,000 should be
appropriated when in past years II had
been but $4,000.
Mr Anderson of Rockbridge said that
The $4,000 additional had been apDro-
priated in order TO allow the Governor to
pay lhe expenses of certain litigation on
the decision OF which the very existence
Of the State depended. The fees OF the
attorneys who defended the State were
left with the Governor, and We gave him
10000 to meet them The decision
which these distinguished gentlemen OBJ
tained from the Supreme Court OF the
United States was worth millions TO the

THE PARTY OF LABOR.

Those strikes in Pennsylvania with their disastrous consequences, present and pros pective, bring into prominence again the great problem of Labor in it's connection with Political Party. Our contention is that the true party of Labor is the Demo- cratic party. The idea that there is need of third party especially organized to nominate labor candidates is one of the most injurious to American workmen that could be propagated.
 The lines of contest between Labor and oppressive Monopoly are clearly defined by the recent declarations of Democratic Con ventions, by the laws passed through the efforts of Democratic Legislatures, and en- forced by Democratic Executives, and more recently illustrated by the tax-reduction anti-monopoly message sent by the Demo- cratic President to Congress. No political truth can be clearer than that theD Democratic party speaks for the many, while Republican policy favors the few. One organization represents the masses while the other serves only the classes that thrive on special priv ileges. We have but to cast eye over our State border to the Empire State for exam pie. The record of the passage and en- forcsuent of labor helping laws in that stsse-ths State bs it remembsred of our

TO SAVE DOCTORS BILLS.

Never go to bed with cold or damp feet
 Never lean with the back upon anything that is cold.
 Never begin a journey until the breakfast has been eaten.
 Never take warm drinks and then immedi- ately go out into the cold.
 Never omit regular bathing, for unless the skin is in regular condition the cold will close the pores and favor congestion or other dis eases.
 After exercise of any kind never ride in an open carriage or near the window of a car for moment; it is dangerous to health or even life
 When hoarse, speak as little as possible until the hoarseness is recovered from, else the voice may be permanently lost or diff culties of the throat be produced.
 Merely warm the back by the fire, and never continue keeping the back exposed to the heat after it has become comfortably warm. Todo otherwise is facilitating.
 When going from a warm atmosphere into a cooler one keep the mouth almost closed, so that the air may be warmed by it's passage through the nose ere it reaches the lungs.
 Never stand still in cold weather, especially after having taken slight degree of exer- else, and always avoid standing on ice or snow, where the person is exposed to the cold wind.
 Keep the back, especially between the shoulder blades, we'll covered; also the chest we'll protected. In sleeping in cold room establish the habit of breathing through the nose, and never with the open mouth.-New York Mail and Express

SAID BY BRIGHT MEN.

The hypocrite would not put on the ap- pearance of virtue if it was not the most proper means to gain love.-Addison.
 The characters of men placed in lower sta- tions of life are more useful as being imitable by great numbers.-Atterbury.
 To secure a contented spirit, measure your desires by your fortunes, not your fortunes by your desires. Taylor.
 God overrules all mutinous accidents, brings them under his laws of fate, and makes them all serviceable to his purpose. Antonius.
 Humility ill man consists not in denying any gift that is in him. but just valuation of it; rather thinking too meanly than too highly.-Ray.
 I dislike an eye that wrinkles like star. Those only are beautiful which, like planets, have a steady, lambent ight-are luminous, but sparkling. g.-Longfellow
 Let not your recreations be lavish spenders of your time, but choose such as are health full, recreative and apt to refresh you; but at no hand dwell upon them.-Jeremy Taylor.
 The lghtsome passage of joy was not that which now usurps the name; that trivial, vanishing, superficial thing that only gilds the apprehensions and plays upon the surface of the soul.-South.
 Irresolution is worse vice than rashness. He that shoots best may sometimes miss the mark, but he that shoots not at all can never hit it. Irresolution loosens all the joints of a state; like an ague, it shakes not this nor that limb, but all the body is at once in fit. The irresolute man is lifted from one place to an other, so hatcheth nothing, but addles all his actions. eIltham.

STRAY BITS.

The State Line Coal company, of East Palestine, O., has received wire rope two miles long from Liverpool, England, to be used in it's mines.
 Two citizens of Red Oak, Ia., spent nearly week digging for treasures of $SO, ,O00, which a fortune teller had told them was buried near the city.
 The people of St. Paul are much elated over the fact that there are now POS, 1885 of them. This is an increase of almost 100 per cent. in seven years.
 The City of Mexico levies tax on bull fights of 15 per cent. of the gross receipts, and thus far this season the city treasury has been enriched 1000 from this source. new train put on the Alton road between Chicago and Kansas City to rival the Eli, :" of the Burlington line, is called the Hum mer." It reduces the regular time between the two cities by five hours. An Italian at Mansfield, O., wore pair of very tight shoes two days. The result was injuries to his feet that were followed by gan- grene, so that he has had his toes and other parts of both feet amputated in order to save his life.
 One Taliaferro-not the Confederate gen. eral, however, is She latest inventor of per petual motion He lives in Atlanta. and has | already applied for the rewards offered by European governments to the discoverer of this principle of mechanics. Two gentlemen of Norwich, Conn.,, have had match at cribbage together nearly every day since Jan. 1, 1882, playing in that time nearly 15,0OO games. One of them is now twenty games ahead of the other, and at no time has either had the advantage by more than fifty games.
 In Paris there are numerous little trunk shops to which you go to hire trunk packer at two francs, or forty cents, an hour pack your trunk scientifically. These packers are artists. They fold up expensive dresses neatly in tissue paper, and pack away the most deli cate bric-a-brac with the utmost care.
 A driving wheel of locomotive thatsSwas drawing passenger train burst recently near Milford, Pa. One piece whizzed past the freman's head and passed, screaming like a shell from cannon, through the baggage car, the smoking car and a passenger coach without doing injury to any person on the train. The train was running at the rate of forty miles an hour when the accident oc- cured.
 Two little fellows, Sammy and Willie Baldwin, aged IA and 12, respectively, walked from Kearney, Mo-, recently, to St. Joseph, Mo-, to see their mother in the insane asylum, not having seen her for six years. They were afraid to ask their father to let them go, and walked the entire 100 miles, A constable went after them and found them willing to return, as they had been successful in their mission.
