THE NEW MAIL CAR.
The new until cur to be int roduced
by the government will, if if proves
to be what is claimed 'or if, ettectu-
aby prevent train robberies and also
piotect the lives of the mail clera- in
the event of wreck. These new cars
have already been placed on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad aud are
a complete departure from * lie old
style. They are entirely bullet proof.
The sides and ends of tne cars, which
are 154 f_et long instead o' 60, as has
heretofore beeu the rule, are of yel
low pine of great thickness with a
steel plate running through the pine
the entire length. No bullet from re
volver or r.fle can pierce the cars.
There are no platforms and no doors
in any way similar to those on the
old cars. The doors are on both
sides for receipt and delivery of mail,
but these are too high up to be
reached without a ladder, which the
train robber has not up to date car
ried with him ou his expeditions,
though it is true that in future this
couveuience may become a part a<
his kit. The new cars afford more
room for the employes of Uncle Sam
and are Utted up with every im-
provemenr in the way of lighting aud
convenience. Another great feature
is tne. anti telescoping arrangement,
whicii wil no doubt save mauy a
human life in the service. The post-
office department has good reason to
be proud of the improvement, aud
tlie sooner all liu n s are equipped with
the cars for both express and mail
purposes the better.

Letter From Eleanor Kirk.
“There is Tremendous Power in
The Spoken Word.”
Brooklyn, N, Y., Nov. 22, 1895.
690 Greene Avenue.
In making ready to write my usual
weekly letter to the large audience
of dear friends whom 1 have never
seen with these mortal eyes, a sen
tence came into my head which pat
every other idea to flight. I waited,
pen in hand, for the obtruder to de
part, wondering all the time why it
was that some thoughts were so
much more, vital than others, and
why the subjects which one had ex
pected to write about got out of the
way as soon as the necessary mate
rial arrangements were made. Well
I waited and waited for this sentence
to take a back seat in my tuiod, but
it would uot budge. At last I con
cluded there must be some reason for
this persistence, and I would give it
tne publicity it'clamored for. Here
it is: .
“There is tremendous power In the
spoken word.”
I quote the sentence because it
seems like the thought of another,
almost like that of some one who
had a speeial reason for wishing to
give it at the present moment.
Now, l do not necessarily mean a
departed' spirit, as people are wont
to speak of those whom they no
longer see with their mortal eyes,
though I do not say it could not haye
had suoh an origin. Nor do I say
that it was not a friend “in the flesh,”
either near or far away, whq im
pressed this thought upon me. And
again, I am not at all sure that it
was not what I am sometimes pleased
to call my higher self. But that it
originated from one of these three
sources I am very sure. It does not
make much difference which, it is a
good aud true statement, and there
was a reason vjby I should allow it
expression. ’
“There is tremendous power in
the spoken word.”
“I shall hate you as long as I live,
a wife said to her busbaud. There
had been a slight disagreement, ami
it had, by reason of the spoken word,
worked itself to the border line of a
tragedy- There was a tragedy. That
man left his home and his business
and has never re.urned. That word
completely changed the current of
two lives. It is now despair instead
of happiness; poverty insteed of
plenty. ,
What if she had said: “Never mind.
It. makes no difference whether we
agree or not in all matters. We
shall love each other as long as we
live.” There would not be a desolate
home and two wretched, wandering
spirits.
So we see that “the poower of the
spoken word is tremendous.”
Again,—there is probably not one
in a thousand who realizes it—the
spoken word is creative.
“God spake aud it was done.” We
who are made in the image and
likeness of God also speak, ana “it is
done.” We speak one word of love
to God and love to humanity, and
love comes back to us in overflowing
measure. We have created love.
We speak our word of dislike or
hatred, and the first thing we know
we are environed by misunderstand
ing and maiioe.
We speak our word of success, and
if. having spoken, we hold fast io
the power of the word, we realize
success. We have created success.
We speak our word of defeat and
poverty, and we create tbes^ nega
tive conditions.
The people who sometimes speak
the positive word, and sometimes the
negative, are the see-saw, up-and-
down folks, who do not comprehend
themselves, and whom nobody un
derstands. It is almost better cons
stantiy to speak the words failure,
poverty, sickness, etc., etc , thau to
vibrate between the two extremes.
One makesquioker work of the fleshly
part of it, anyway..
This view of the “spoken word”
cannot possibly conflict with any
system of religion from Catholicism
to Presbyterianism, and so on. If
anyoue contradicts the above state
ments, that person is not intelligent.
It is a matter of common sense «8
well as spirituality.
This being the truth, it is self-evi
dent that a constant speaking ot the
good word will result lu beneficent
conditions. So it is affectionately
borne in upon me to give our friends
a few simple rules for making lire
what it ought to be—a state of use-
fullness and harmony.
Substitute the posttive way of
speaking for the negative. Say, I
am well, I am happy, I aui success
ful, I am rich, ins'ead of the opoo-
site, as is common to most people.
Keep it up. Do not get weary.
Never mind the seeming. After a
while you will realize ttiata great
change has come to you aud your
affairs.
I make this statement from abso
lute knowledge. I have proved the
power ot the spoken word, aud in a
marvelous manner.
It is uo lie to say “I am rich” in
the midst of what a ipears to be ihe
most straitened circumstances.
You are rich in spirit, You are au
expres ion of the Infinite Father aud
you can realize everything you need
and want by holding fast to this
thought and speaking the positive
word.
Have some moments of absolute
quiet and silence every day, and
every waking hour of the night
still speak your word. It is not nec
essary to make a sound. Indeed ttie
stiller you are the better. Try it. and
take my word that “ihe power of the
spoken word is tremendous.”

Washington. Nov. 21, 1895.
President Cleveland has more than
once been charged—sometimes by
members of his own party—with tid
ing deficient in diplomatic skill. His
declination to accept the invitation
extended by the Government of
Great Britain to form an alliance
with that couutry for the purpose of
protecting British and American in
terests in Tuikey shows that he had
diplomatic skill enough to defeat
a well planned scheme of British di
plomacy. When that invitation was
extended it seemed a natural sort of
thing to do, but the present situa
tion in Turkey shows what a dan
gerous thing it really was. As
ttdDgs now stand there is every prob
ability that Great Britain will be
involved in a war with one or more
countries as a result of the present
complications in Turkey, and had
PresidentCleveland not seen through
the scheme this country would have
been involved with her. As it is the
United States by acting alone has
secured better protection for Amer
icans in Turkey than has been ac
corded to any other foreigners in
that country, and when the fight
ing commences Unoie Sam will be a
mere looker on, only interested In

thing they can pay for.

The Awakening of the South.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
A Northerner going across Mason
and Dixon’s line finds that the con
trasts between his own section and
the South—other than those inci
dent to geography and season—are
slight as compared with what they
were iu the time of tile war. Hie
rural districts iiave not felt the
awakening to the same extent as the
towns, but even here the improve
ments in aspect end methods are too
obvious to be disregarded.
The Soutii of slavery days is no
more. The war, cruel as it was, did
a service to it thAt nobody realized
at the time, for it not only freed the
uegro; it emancipated the white la
borer. This bapught to the work of
tne farms a capacity for intelligence
and au energy that had been lacking
iu the conduct of the plantations,
where an ea«y going system was in
yogue, the planter* being content
with a fair return for their invest
ment in slaves, and their expenses
being reduced to a minimum beoause
they paid nothing for wages.
But the war did ino*e. It opened
the eyes of Northern people—the
capitalist class—to the chance of
growth, of gain, in the South. It
led to the investment of Northern
money in Southern enterprise. It
led to the settlement of expert labor
in Southern cities, It led to the
opening of the grekt phosphate beds,
the cutting of tiujber, the making 'of
resin and turpentine, the growing of
oranges and other fruits, the mining
of the iron and buildiDg stone which
is now found to exist In enormous
quantities in several of the mountain
states, '(he development of these
various industries led tolhc extension
of the older ones to tlie piauti^g of
cane aud cotton, to the introduction
of Improved machinerv—of Northern
devising usually—tor tlie working ot
caue aud cottou. It may lead to the
removal of cotton mills from the
North to the South. It led espec
ially to the erection of a great rail
road system, penetrating to every
part of the South,putting it in touch
with the rest of the country, opening
its markets to the world.
Nor is the awakening a matter of
mere industry. It is an awakening
of intelligent industry.
