for the reporters. These miserable men are

catchiug one,*they string it ou a piece of pa

When caught, they string it with the others,

The Supremo Court of Pennsylvania has
affirmed the judgment of a lower court in the
case of McMasteis v. the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, nud decides that when freight
is shipped on the railroad to a station where
the railroad company has no warehouse
erected, the parties interested in the freight
cannot recover from the railroad company if
the freight be lost after it is lauded at tho sta
tion—it being then the duty of the parties to
whom it is shipped to look after it. This case
is said to be the first of the kiad that has yet
been brought before the Supreme Court of the
State.
The latest prospect for the rescue of the
Atlantic and Great Western Railroad from its
financial embarrassments is to abandon the
broad gauge, connect at Corry with the Phila
delphia and Erie Road, and run by way of
Williamsport, Milton and Easton to New

sylvania Central; and it would probably com-
pell Gould aud Fisk to lay a third rail from
Salamanca to New York to save their man
agement of the Erie Railway.
Tbe first narrow gauge railroad ou this con

greatest curvature is si^degrees to the hun
dred feet, and the heaviest grade seventy-five
feet to the mile. The building of the road
and its equipment cost per mile $13,500, and
this cost was enhanced by the expense of
transportation of materials from the East
Here such a road could be bnilt at much less
expense. The engines cost from $7,500 tc
$8,500. The passenger ears are seven feet

From a Boston Tost report of a lecturo by
Kale Stanton: “Young men, you should
marry the large women rather than the small,
all things else being equal. [Laughter aud
applause.] Never marry a woman who is
prone to depreciate tho virtues of any of her
sex. Marry a widow especially if she be a
mother of heellhy children, for widows in
these days are apt to be more sensible than
girls. Experience has done something foi
them. [Laughter and applause.] A widow’:
lovo is apt to be richer than that of a spoiled
of this glad New Year. Hence, not a few
were seen at the hours of ten, eleven, and
twelve, issuing forth, availing themselves of
that most fitting and timely occasion to
mingle with each other in happy good wishes.
Never have we seen so many ardent and ap
preciative cavaliers urging their way to the
abodes of their different friends, giddy with
joy, inspired by the smile of some “half
grown angel in disguise,” or happy with the
yet unattained bliss of soon seeing some
“bright particular.” Others who, like
young Lochin\’ar, thought to “drown their
sorrows iu the flowing bowl,” were radiant
with the pink of Sherry, or enlivened by the
inspiring drops of “Moet and Chandon.”
The seven ages of the Bard of Stratford-on-
Avon were well represented except, perhaps,
sans teeth, sans eyes, etc., all imbibing to
their fullest, the pleasures of the day, and
with a zeal of rivalry did each express with
peculiar grace, the common good wish, “A
aappy New Year.”
A few, by mismanagement of the song,
would wish “a H-ap-p.y New Year,” or insist
upcu saying, “Christmas Gift! ” But wo had
charity for this failure, knowing that the spirit
was willing, though the flesh was weak.

E.
between the strong man and tho weak, tho energetic
ruler of men and things, and the feeble imbecile, is
simply this: That the process of nutrition is carried
on with greater ease and rapidity in the one than the
other. What was it that enabled the great Napoleon
to undergo thoso prodigious privations, without which
his genius would l*avo availed him so little ? An un
common faculty of rapid nutrition. Now, the two
great fellow partners in this work of nutrition are
these: Food, which furnishes the capital; and Stimu-
us, which invests it—that is, influences each part of
the body to take up (from tho blood), so much of the
food nutriment as it stands in need of. Out door ex
ercise is the best “stimulus;” but multitudes cannot
get that. Such persons will find the use of Dr. Gott

call Train a lunatic! That looks like tho work

Presidential smile, walked off.
Mr. Edward Jenkins, author of “ Giux’s
Baby,” has given to tho public another work
equally clever—“Lord Bantan”—being the
history of an aristocratic baby, quite the op
posite of the indigent Ginx. It is a sharp
and telling satire on the uselessness of the En
glish aristocracy, and is destiued to be socially
and politically, in England, a great success.
The New York Star says: “Mr. T. C. De

continue his connection with Leslie’s and Ap

The rnmors that “Talleyrand’s Memoirs’ t
were about to be published proves to be prema
ture. It appears that by the terms of Talley
rand's will, the memoirs cannot bo given to
the world before 1888. Some passages hare,
however, found their way before their time
into publicity by the indiscretion of M. Amo
dee Pichot, aud they bespeak a rare gift of
foresight and almost prescieuc' in the distiu-

Lord Lyttoa preserves the characteristics
that in early life made him the point cf the
London satirists. As he grows older, however,
the aids and artifices of dress and powder can
not conceal his natural ugliness supplemented
by the wrinkles of age. His face is described
by one who recently met him as th«* of “an
antediluvian hawk, with sharp beak, bony
brow, aud cold twinkling eyes.” He still
frequents the clubs, and is a great light in
Tory circles.
The Radical OJub of Boston met last week
and discussed “The Relation of Jesus to the
Present Age.” Professor Stowe was ou hand
to vindicate orthodoxy and combat the here

late, it was the orthodox Professor who shocked
the sense of the meeting by the boldness of
bis utterances. He expressed the opinion that
it would have been “more to the glory of God
if He had made fewer human beings and made
them better.” Dr. Bartol, in replying, referred
delicately to “people who thought sometimes
that they could have given tho Lord some use

Wendell Phillips, in his lecture on “Street

tle instance of street life in America. Thack
eray, on his visit here many years ago, was
anxious to see a geniine Bowery Boy, aud
a friend pointed ont to him ono ot those
now defunct specimens leaning against
a lamp post, with his hands stuck
in his pockets, his “soap locks” care
fully regulated over his eyebrow, aud his
cigar tilted upright between his teeth. Thack
eray was delighted, and determined to “in
terview ’’ the monster. So he strode with his
manly, sweeping gait, carrying that ever
present benignancy of expression on his face,
up to the “Boy” and remarked very inno-
ceutly, “Sir, excuse me, but I would iike to
go to Broadway.” The “Boy” returned the
look with one equdlly as benignant, and re
plied, “Well, why in h—1 don’t yon go?”
A novel but simple device for the preven
tion of frauds in voting has been suggested.
A book of printed forms is to be provided,
eaich being numbered, and a space being left
for the name and address of the voter. A
coupon correspondingly numbered is attached,
and this is given to the voter when he registers,
to be presented when he offers to vote. It
would be impossible for repeaters to vote on
another man’s name, and would make a clean
and distinct record for every voter. It appears
on its face entirely feasible and practicable.
