Perils of Railroad Traveling.

From the official tables it appearsthat more than four hundred andsixty six millions of passengershave been carried by the railroadsin nineteen years, and that of thisnumber two hundred and seventy-si- x

have been killed, and forty-on- eof these were killed without fault oftheir own. Twenfcy-nin- e deaths ofpassengers were caused by the ac-cident in 1871, at Revere. Whatwas the average length of a railroadjourney does not appear from theabove figures, but if it were nomore than five miles, the wholenumber of miles traveled by passengers would be more than twenty-thre- e

hundred millions, or two hun-dred and eighty millions to everydeath of a passenger from causeswholly beyond his control. This isto say, if a person should spend allhis time in a railroad car in constantmotion, the probability is that hewould travel two hundred andeighty million miles before hewould meet with a fatal accident.At the rate of six hundred miles ada- - about one hundred and thirtyyears would be occupied in travel-ing that distance. Therefore, aperson who should adopt that modeof life and make himself a Jiving il-lustration of perH.tual motion,would die of old age before he would

e a chance to die by accident.It appears from these fact that ara lroad car is tue saiest place inthe world.

That Terrible Scourge,Fever and ague, and its eongener, bu-

A languid circulation, a tor-pid state of the liver, a want of vitalstamina, are conditions peculiarly favor-able to malarial diseases. They are,however, surely remedied jy the greatpreventive, which, by invigorating thesystem and endowing it with regularitya well as vigor, provide it with a re-sistant power which enables it to with-.tL- d

The Battle Flag of the Third.

A Washington correspondent ofthe Columbia Herald says:

"A few days since Capt. R..K.Polk was in conversation with JudgeBayless W. Han a, of Indiana, amember of the House, and learnedfrom him that he knew where thebattle flag of the 3d Tennessee Regiment is. It was capMired at FortDonelson and is now in Indiana.Capt. Polk Informed Gov. John C.Brown of his dicovery, and theheart of the old commander of thatworld renowned corps leaped withjoy, and he instantly went to seeJudge Hanna, who promised himthat on bis return home he wouldget the flag and send it to Pulaski.So the glorious veterans at theirnext reunion will have the proudsatisfaction of seeing the sacred oldensign kissing the breezes whereit first gladdened the hearts of theglorious men who had sworn tobllow it to the death."

Curious.

Seat yourself at a table. Attacha piece of metal (say a shilling) toa thread. Having your elbow ona table, hold the thread between thepoints of the thumb and forefinger,and allow the shilling to hang ina glass tumbler; the pulse will im-mediately cause the shilling to vi-brate like a pendulum, and the vibrations will increase until it strikesthe side of the glass, and supposethe time of experiment to be thehour of seven, or half past seven,the pendulum will strike the glassseven times, and then lose its momen turn and return to the centre.If you hold the thread a sufficientlength of time you will be convinced that the expei iment is complete. We need not add that thethread must be held in a steadyhand, otherwise the vibrating motion would be counteracted. Atwhatever hour of the day or nightthe experiment is made, the co-i-cidence will be the same.

Don't "Worry Ahout Tourselt

To retainor recover health, persons should be relieved from anxiety concerning disease. The mindhas power over the body for a per-son to think he has a disease willoften produce that disease. Thiswe see effected when the mind is in-tensely concentrated upon the disease of another. Wehave seen aperson seasick, in anticipation of avoyage, before reaching the vessel.We have known people to die of cancer in the stomach, when they hadno cancer or any other disease. Ablindfolded man, slightly pierced inthe arm, has fainted and died frombelieving he was being bled todeath. Therefore persons shouldhave their minds diverted as muchas possible from themsslves. It isby their faith that they die. As aman thinketh, so is he. If he willsnot to die, be can often live in spiteof disease; and, if he has little orno attachments to life, ho will slipaway as easily as a child will fallasleep. Men live by their mindsas well as by their bodies. Theirbodies have no life of themselves;they are only receptacles of lif-e-tenements for their minds, and thewill has much to do in continuingthe physical occupancy or givingit up.

Mercantile Haxims.

The way to get credit is to bepunctual. The way to preserve itis not to use it too much. Settleoften; have short accounts. Trustto no man's appearance it is de-ceptiveperhaps assumed for thepurpose ol obtaining credit. Beware of gaudy exterior. Roguesusually dress well. Tie rich areplaiu men. Trust him, if any one,who carries but little on his back.Nvver trust him who flies into apassion on beiug dunned; make himpay quickly, if there be any virtuein the law. Be satisfied, before yougive a credit, that those you give itto are sale mm to be trusted. Sellyour goods at a small advance, andnever misrepresent them, or thosewhom yoii once dective will bewareot you the sccuud time. Deal uprightly with all men and they willrejoKe confidence in you, and soonbecome your erinaneut customers.Trust no stranger. Your goods arebetter than doubtful charges. Whati character worth, if you make Hcheap, crediting all adke? Agreebeforehaud about to do a job, andif large, put it into writing. If anydecline then, quit or be cheated.Though you want a job ever somuch, make all 6ure at tho onset;and in all cases at all donbtful makesure of a guarantee. Be not afraidto ask it; it is the best of responsibility, for, if oQense be taken, youhave escaped a loss.

Spiritual Power Needed.

The Holy Spirit is able to makethe Word as successful now as inthe days of the Apostles. He canbring in the hundreds and thous-ands as easily as by ones and twos.The reason whv we are not moreprosperous is, that we have not theHoly Spirit with us in might andpower as in early times. If we hadthe Spirit sealing our ministry withpower, it would signify very littleabout our talent. Men might bepoor and uneducated; their wordsmight be broken and ungrammatic- -al; there might be none of the polished periods of Hall, or gloriousthunders of Chalmers; but if theSpirit attended them, the humblestevangelist would be more success-ful than the most eloquent ofpreachers. It is extraordinaryspiritual powers that we need. Oh!we know some before whom weshrink into nothing as to talent, butwho have not the spiritual power,and when they speak have not theHoly Spirit with them; but we knowothers, simple hearted men, whospeak their country dialect, and whostand up to preach in their countryplace, and the Spirit of God clothesevery word with power. Hearts arebroken, souls are saved, and sinnersare born again. O! Spirit of theliving God, we waut Thee! Thouart the life, the souL the source ofThy people's success. WithoutTheo they can do nothing; withThee they can do everything.Spur g ton.

School's Out.

Did you ever pause and contemplate that particular and peculiarphase of human nature developedby the existent nchool-boy- , wht--released from study aud discipline

when "school is out" and he ison lia-wa- j' home.

Ordinary humanity, when le-lea-sedfrom the toils of the day,' is

prone to seek rest and relaxation.The boy scorns all such effeminateideas. He is composed of but threeparts legs arms and yell, and theyell is the biggest part of him. Hislegs and arms have been kept inirksome compulsory quietude allday, and must now be exercised.His voice has been seething andswelling in him for hours, and mustnow have vent.

As soon as he is clear of theschool house he stops and deliber-ately yells a yell that is ear split-ting, but which has no more object,meaning or direction than the midnight vociferations of a mule, and3-- it appears at a full run with hisarms flying about like the scintilla-tions of a pin-whee- l. He is no

of persons, and is utterlyindifferent as to whether he runsdown a smaller boy, spins an agedcitizen three times around or mashes a girl's hat over her eyes in hisheadlong career.

Nervous ladies hug the sides ofthe houses as he rushes by in adrove like a whirlwind and screamslike a steam whistle.

"Mercy on us! If that boy wasoiily mine I'd " but just then herown boy flies past, falls over a drygoods box, bounces up, kicks an-other boy, and is chased across thestreet and around the corner beforeshe can get the "You Robert!" withwhich she intends to annihilatehim, out of her astonished throat.

There is but one thing that has theslightest soothing elfect on the bovwhen he is on his way home fromschool. He can see his old muufurther tlinn Prof. Hall can sec uhaystack with a telescope, aud themoment that parent dawns upon hisvision he becomes as proper as amodel letter-write- r, and the neatlymodulated' voice with whk--wheedles the author of his being outof five cents on the spot, is a lesionfor future ambitious Havings baukpresidents.

The amount of racing, jumping,pulling, hauling and howling thata school boy can concentrate into atransit of two squares is positivelyastonishing, aud the preternulur.dcoolness and quietude with whichhe takes his red face and panningbreath into the kitchen and aks ifsupper ain't most ready, is a humanconundrum that calls tor uuqualifiud admiration,.

Advertising.

I All men in business must ad-vertise in some way. All men inbusiness do advertise somehow.

II. Newspapers . afford the bestgeneral medium.

III. The object of advertising issimply to bring buyer and 6eller to-gether successful advertising musttherefore do three things:

a. Be intelligible and explicit asto the things on sale.

b. It must reach the class likelyto buy.

c. It must persuade them it willbe to their advantage to come andbuy.

IV. The interest of seller, buyerand advertising medium are mutual.

V. Sellers, buyers and newspapersare all three equally interested insustaining this mutual relation.

VI. The coinmon notion of patronage as regards newspapers isfallacious. As all persons are buyers, all sellers should be advertisers.As nearly all persons are tellers, allbuyers should take newspapers inboth cases for their own sake, notthe newspaper's sake.

VII. The profits of well conduct-ed newspapers are a measure of thebusiness prosperity of a community.Wc all thrive together by contribu-ting to the support of one another.

Tl.is is truth in a nutshell, a dneed but a line or two to make itperfect, to-wi- t: Nearly every

business man in the countrywho has made a large fo:tui.e intrade, Las been a liberal advertiserin the newspapers. Baltimort Even-ing Bulletin. '

Watching One's Self.

"When I was a boy," said an oldman, "we had a schoolmaster whohad an odd way of catching the idleboys. One day he called out to us :"Boys I must have closer attentionto your books. The first one thatsees another idle I want you to in.form me, and I will attend to thecase."

"Ah !" thought I to myBelf, "thereis Joe Simmons, that I don't like.I'll watch him, and if I see himlook off his books, I'll tell."

"It was not long before I saw Joelook off his book, and immediatelyI informed the master.

"Indeed !" said he, "and how didyou know he wa idle?"

"I saw him.""You did? And were yonr eyes on

your book when you saw him?""I was caught, and never watch-

ed for idle boys again."If we are sufficiently watchful

over our own conduct we will haveno time to find fault with the con-duct of others.

House Naval Committee,

Last Thursday was a field dayfor this Committee. The distinguished chairman the Hon. W.CWhitthorne, and his colleagues,made reports of their arduous labor.The Chairman behaved splendidlyand won praises from both Bides ofthe House. In fact, even complimented him with a unanimous endorsement of his work. At the beginning of the last session hebrought lo ths attention of theHouse the absolute necessity ot reform in the mode of the several Ex-ecutive Departments, in furnishingestimates for each fiscal year.Statesmen agreed with him in hissuggestions, but not a single com.mitteo took steps to bring thesebusiness methods to the attentionof Congress.

So it was, that after he had gotten through with his explanation,absut the purport of his bill, leadersof both parties saw that a new erain financial legislation had dawned.They saw that this bill was the corner stone of a new and better sys-tem of government and that its au-thor had linked his name eternallywith a policy which will ultimate inthe complete restoration of the Republic from the evils of corrupt andhasty legislation. They said bo.One by one, such men as Hale, Butler, Clymer and Randall, asked him"why not embrace iu your bill thatevery department shall furnish abudget to the National Legislature?"He replied, "I have done so in theonly way in which I had tho powerto do it. I have reported upon itfrom ay committee; nw let everyother committee do the same andwe will have u system which willprevent the money of the peoplefrom being Nquundorod." It was aproud day for him. Modestly heshowed the gratification of a greattriumph for the system and orderwhich are about lo be inauguratediinder "his labors It has been thetheme of general comment, and thebest minds daily thauk him for hissensible and practical effort. It isstrange when you think about it,that this Government has gone onfor a century without requiting theHeads of Departments to furnishannual estimates ot the amountswhich were needed to run tho vastmachinery of the only Republic inthe world.

By the loose methods heretoforeused, millions have been squanderedand vast floating debts now over-hang every department of the Gov-ernment.

They were in a railroad coach,journeying to Chicago. On theopposite seat was a man of com-manding figure, massive brow andthoughtful expansion.
