rarily, we understand, aud to be relieved

consin or Michigan.
Some concern has been manifested as
to the whereabouts of Pomerincke, who
went east to work on the Lehigh valley.
A number of letters addressed to him
have returned to the writers. An effort
was made by some parties, close of last
week, to ascertain where he is, but with
what result we have not learned.
A new invention embodies a principle
which will commend itself to all railway
travelers. It is sought to lessen the dis
comfort and annoyance to travel on
many lines on which there is excessive
vibration by the construction of a pneu
matic car “which embraces the applica
tion of an elastic fluid as an absorbent
for vibration and oscillation.” An air
cushion is arranged on the cellular princi
ple between the car body and the truck
frame, and as there is an equal distribu
tion of air under varying pressures, a 1 1
oscillation is prevented. This classic
medium is said to completely absorb all
vibration resulting from rough tracks,
jointing of rails, excessive speed, or any
other cause, and the car is carried
smoothly and steadily along.
Railway postal clerks are thinking a
great many things about one of Superin
tendent White’s new regulations,says an
exchange. They will hereafter have an
added duty to perform, and one which
is not at all to their liking. An order
has been issued which constitutes each
clerk his brother’s keeper, and makes it
his duty to see that the authorities are
informed of any violation of the regula
tions by a fellow clerk. The new order
emanates ostensibly from James E.
White, general superintendent of the
railway mad service, and in effect estab
lishes a system of espionage over the
men, and constitute’s each clerk an in
spector over the private life and habits
of his associates. Among the offenses
specified are intoxication and gambling.
On these, particular stress is laid, but
the order is drawn in such a general
term that it is construed as meaning any
conduct which is not exactly right and
proper.
It has been making two or three at- j
tempts to snow, this week, with slight
results.
The promoters and projectors of the
new order of “The Star of Jupiter” are
pushing along the organization thereof
as fast as possible, and expect to institute
a large lodge here in a short time. All
the numerous details of such an order
are being completed, stationery etc., pre
pared, and in a brief while the order will
be placed before the public in all its
advantages and attractiveness. And we
predict a triumphal march for “The Star
of Jupiter.”
If a doctor makes a mistake he buries
it; if a merchant makes a mistake he
never tells of it; if a lawyer makes a mis
take he crawls out of it, but if an editor
makes a mistake he puts it on a large
sheet of paper for the world to look at,
and in every community there are cranks
who think they are models of wisdom be
cause they occasionally discover them,
and for weeks their jaws are wagging
about their astuteness.
The Tribune averages about one sub
scriber every two months who refuses to
take the paper from the office and his
postmaster according to law, notifies us
to discontinue and states the reason. In
nine cases out of ten such persons owe
from 50c to $5 back subscription and are
able to pay. We always send a statement
of account to which they pay on heed.
We have come in contact with three of
this class just lately. No newspaper ob
jects to a subscriber discontinuing, even
if he can not pay, if he does it in the
proper manner—but for a man to take a
paper one, two or three years, and then
refuse to take it from the office, is too
mean to be tolerated,and The Tribune,
hereafter, will give the name, address
and amount due, all such contemptible
cusses irrespective of sex or color. We
do not propose to let subscriptions be
paid by simply refusing to take the
paper from the office.
