Matter of Wonder.

1t has been q matter of frequent
wonder to the writer why the NJ. & o.,
I, c., N. o. & N. E., G. & S. l., M. }.
& X. C. and MISSISSIPPI Central lines
that have a combined trackage of
many hundreds of miles in South Mis-
sissippi. do not emulate the whole
some example of the M. X. & T r. r..
which, by extensive and judicious ad
vertising in the daily press of states
far removed from its lines, has ac-
complished more in the matter of Sc
curing desirable settlers along its
lines than probably all the lines
enumerated above combined To be
sure, nearly all railroads send out
thousands of folders, giving their
schedules and connections and, pos
sibly, some little information concern
ing resorts reached by their lines, but
it would require many generations for
such methods to accomplish what the
advertising NJ. X. & T. has.
1t is consummation devoutly to be
desired that commercial bodies, large
owners of acreage property and the
transportation companies of South
Mississippi will be guided by the sug-
gestions embodied in your splendid
article.

son still retains her membership in
the church.
The move is the result of a long
inquiry in the methods employed by
her in teaching The board of direc-

son teaches her students that the New
York branch Of the church, with which
she is connected, is the only legitimate
Christian Science church in that city,
that she has been teaching an errone-
GUS sense of the doctrines. that Mrs.
Stetson has SO far strayed from the
right as to be unfit for the work of a
Christian Science teacher.
The trustees of the church have
adopted amendments to the bylaws of
the church that will prevent, it is be-
lieved, a recurrence of exactly the
same troubles experienced by the
trustees in the case of Mrs. Stetson.

of that city in 1863. This copy of The
Citizen, which Was brought to The

Thursday, July 2, 1868, and is printed
on wall paper-or, rather, on the
blank side of square of wall paper
| Although containing only four 20-inch
columns, the little sheet is filled with
war news, including dispatches from
Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Washington
New York, and other cities.
Among other items of local news is
chronicled one of feast in which a
Thomas cat furnished the piece de
resistance. 1t was served as rabbit

was delicious, and that pussy must

Encouraging News.
Among other items of news, a dis
patch from Harrisburg, dated June 90
says:
THE rebels hold the north bank of
the Potomac river, from Cumberland
to Harper's Ferry. Gen. Kelly drove
them out of Cumberland, and when
they left they threatened to return

and forage. The rebels have done an
