I'ftlrt AVorklnunicn's
The mnnagcmont of the Pennsylvania
HailroaU company has formulated a plan
for what Is known as n "relief depart
ment , " whereby these connected with its
service may be associated for the purpose
of securing specific aid for themselves
and families in coses of accident , sickness
and death. The credit for devising the
scheme Is duo to General Manager
Charles 15. I'ugh , who In his various
capacities has become familiar with the
labor and hardships of the employes , es
pecially those running on the road , and
lias long desired that some plan should
bo devhcd whereby unfortunate railroad
men cotthl bo properly taken enro of In
the event of accident. In addition to the
Pennsylvania proper and the lateral
roads , the insurance scheme will also
apply to the employes of the following
corporations : The Northern Central
Itailway company , the West iJcrsoy Hail-
way company , the Philadelphia , Wil
mington & Haltimoro Railroad company ,
the Caiiidou & Atlantic Railroad com
pany , the Hallimnru & I'otomao Railroad
company , tlie West Jersey Ferry com
pany , nnd the Camdcn ami Philadelphia
'
steamboat-1'crry company.
With the view of making the tax upon
the participants in the fund a. light as
possiblutho Pennsylvania Railroad com
pany intends to bear all the expense ot
management , to pay the ollicers , etc.
Mr. J. A. Anderson has been made su
perintendent , and Mr. Holmes D. Ely ,
assistant superintendent. Headquarters
have been established at Trenton , jST. J.
The operations of the now department
will begin on February 1 , from which
date applications will bo received , but
tlio payment of contributions and the
right to benefits will not commence until
the IGth of February ,
rain order that tlio cost of the proposed
bonolit's may bo as small as possible , and
each'mombor derive all possible assist-
anc6 from bis payincntsto the relief fund
tlio number participating must bo largo
and regular. In view of this and of the
responsibility ; assumed by tlio company ,
it wilT he a condition that each person
entering the service or promoted in it
after the inauguration of thu department
shall become a member of _ tlio relief
fund and participate in its benefits.
Persons in the service at tiiat time will ,
for six months thereafter , bo afforded the
privilege of participating without regard
to ago or pliysieial condition. As the
privilege of participation will hereafter
depend upon ago ami physical condition ,
tnose now in the service may bo debarred
from participation if they delay applying
until after the period during which the
privilege is quen to them. Attcr the ex
piration of six months the company will
discontinue- allowance of gratuities
to employes , and all lines paid bv em
ployes for dereliction of duty will there
after bo added to _ the rehet fund. The
superintendent will ho aided in liis labors
by an advisory board , consisting of mem
bers chosen equally by tiic employes who
are members of the fund and by the
board of directors of the company , with
the general manager of the company
and the sujicrintGiulont of tlie relief de
partment as o'x-ollicio members.
As to tlio plan , it is proposed to deduct
from the wages of the employes monthly
a certain sum , to bo graded according to
the amount of the pay. The company
will be the trustee of the money and re
sponsible therefor for any deficiencies
which may arise from the fund proving
insufficient to meet the demands upon it.
Tlio benclits will consist chielly in pay
ments of stated amounts to members dis
abled by sickness or injuries "received in
tlio discharge of their duties ; payments
of slated amounts to designated relatives
or other bencltciivries of deceased mem
bers ; free surgical attendance for mem
bers disabled by injuries in tlio discharge
of their duties ; arrangements for fixed
moderate rates , of which members may
avail themselves , for medical attendance
in cases of ordinary sickness ; medical su
pervision over sanitary anil other matters
airecting the health ofmombors.
For the purpose of determining the
monthly rates members will bo divided
into classes according to tlio amount of
their regular wages per month. Tlio
sums they will pay and the bonollts they
will rccci\'c will bo as follows :

Doomt ( la. ) Republican : The tale wo
urn to chronicle is strange enough to bo
looked upon with suspicion , nupcuring in
the columns of a paper of so btaiif a
town as lloono. It runs like a story , but
wo can assiiro our rentiers that the facts
related ran bo verilicd t > y real llesh and
blood tcstnioii3- ! . Twenty years ago last
fall there lived in Piatl county , 111. , a
married couple just shading oil * into the
ago of elderly. Tlio full name of the
husband was Harris Cheescbro litmliclr ,
father of ten children , and up to the
time of the commencement of this story ,
ber.ring a stainless reputation , lint at
that time , ! Si5 ( , village 'busy-bodies con
nected his name witli a soaiuinl , and his
wife , believing and becoming jealous ,
made the homo life unbearable. An
agreement of separation was made ,
Mrs , Uuullck going to live with
her children. It should .in jus-
lice ho stated that both Mr. nnd Mrs.
litmliel : were without sin and all the
troublo.oamo from uncharitable village
( los.iii ) , that cause of so much misery.
Mr. liurdick , di.shcmrtcucdt wronged , loft ,
his old neighborhood , and it is now only
aftisr twenty years that ho has been
found. Aftt'i'the-prou\U'4d lo'tcr ' failul
to. come , the children commenced a dili
gent search for him , but not the least
trace was found , as ho disappeared in
180. ) , and was 53 years ot at the timothe
children had given up hope many years
ago and concluded their father must be
Uo.'W. T:0 ! : children had passed , a part
from young mix ihoon nnil .Yv ng wom
anhood to middle age , and the youngest ,
Leroy Uurdiok , of liouuc , from youth to
manhood , The discovery that the father
was still living was only made last
Saturday , and it was so unlookcdfor that
his children can hardly believe that it is
not nil a dream.
Last Saturday Mr. Eli 11 , Burdick , an
other sou , a railroad engineer , with head
quarters at Hoono , was working at the
snow drifts with his-engitio near Grand
Junction. Ho wiw sitting at the window
when an elderly man , slightly stooped ,
came up the road and passed. Ell was
struck that the man resembled his father ,
but supposing him so long dead , conclud
ed ho was mistaken. However , ho
watched what house the man entered.
and asked the next passer-by if ono lived
there by the name of Harris Chccsebro
UUrdick. Luckily , as it turned otit , ho
gave the full name , for he was answered
that there was a man by the name of
Cheesehro , but not Burdiek. That was
enough , and Kli lost no time In getting to
the house the 'man had entered. Mr.
Chcesobro was asked foif and whcil ho
came into the room the recognition was
instantaneous ; "Father , " % 'E1I. " was
passed , and each was pressed in the oth
er's arms. Mutual explanations followed
and Mr. Uurdick boarded Ell's engine
nnd the same evening came to Hoono to
meet Loroy. For twelve years he had
lived at tJrand Junction , twenty-two
miles from Boonc. where his two sons
lived , and yet neither had dreamed that
the other was so near all the time.
The explanation of Mr. Uurdick's long
silence is , that ho knew ho was innocent ,
but supposed all his family thought him
guilty , and so ho concluded to live and
die apart from all reminders of tlie great
wrong done him. When , ho crossed the
Mississippi river ho dropped the last
part of his name , and became Harris
Uheesobro , and also'to get entirely away
from his former self , dropped the prac-
tjco of medicine and bccaino a jeweler.
For some time ho traveled , repairing
clocks and watches , and during this time
visited Hoono several times. About
twelve years ago ho settled at Grand
Junction , where ho has a small business
now. It is a strange coincidence that
just twelve years ago Leroy Burdick also
settled in Hoonc. Kli Durdick came hero
hovcn years ago , and for some time has
boon running and engine , pas.s-
inir and re-passing many times : i
week Grand Junction , all unconscious
that his father lived there. Mr. Burdick ,
under the name of Cliccsebro , had mar
ried again , and lias ono son 17 years old.
He is 75 years old. but robust , and don't
look over 53. When ho found that his
surmise was wrong , and that the children
while respecting their mother's honesty.
had always sympathized with him and
thought lum innocent , his joy was dillj-
cult to describe. The wife , a most esti
mable lady , died in Boone November 21 ;
1875 , and , although never properly un
derstanding the matter , often said bctore
her death that she fully forgave him for
till. "
Wo gi vo _ the story in full , for its re
markable circumstances arc already the
town talk , and it is better that the correct
statements be known than that reports
be scattered , garbled as they pass from
mouth to month Leroy and Eli Burdick
are both well known here. Lcroy is fore
man of the Chicago & Northwestern
paint shops , and one of the most respect
ed young men in the city.

Washington Critic : General Butler ,
wo are told , created a sensation in the
supreme court yesterday. He vyas
counsel in a case whicli involved the in
fringement of tlio patent of a skirt pro
tector. A skirt protector is an arrange-
fastened to and extending below tlio bottom
tom of ladies' dresses , its object Doing' to
protect the dross from moisture and dirt.
Knowing that the august members
of the court were not as familiar
with the wearing apparel of the
opposite sex as lie , General Butler ,
gave them a few object lessons on the
subject. Ho. pulled out of a box before
him a number of dolls , gaudily dressed
in silk and satin. To the. dresses of
some of these dolls was attached the
skirt protector , while the dresses of
others were devoid of protection. General -
oral Butler , wliogwas on the side of the
patentee , explained the beauties and
utility of the device , and handled
his dolls like ono who was used to
the business. Ho tenderly passed them
up to the bench now and then 'for the
closer inspection of the judges , and it
was with pain that he noted that the o
gentlemen know very little about infants.
lor they frequently held the imitation
article upside down , to the great surprise
and indignation of those articles anil a
somewhat elaborate exposure of their
lingerie. It was with a sigh of relief
that he took his doll back after they had
been thus rudely manipulated by the
court. But ho did not lose his temper ,
probably rellecting that a man was not
expected to know as much about babies
as a widow. _ _

rather large head , pale complexion ,
heavy auburn hair , and the "search you

eyes , Mrs. La Folletto would bo taken
anywhere for a pretty girl , rosy and

a htippv , light-hearted character , but as
little of tlio woman lawyer as it i3 possi

thi lllitoknmllcr to Leave
Tlio Washington oorrospomlont of the
Springfield fifaSs. ) Republican writes :
"Tlio Duch.V f California" or the
"Daisy of Chicago" as slio is sometimes
called , readily acceded to tlio proposi
tion of the police to leave Washington to
escape prosecution , although it is ex
tremely doubtful if any of her victims
could have boon porsuadud to njjpenr
against hor. She was arraigned in court
under tlio name of Alllo 13. Kills , with the
aliases given aboro. Tlio charge against
her was "bohuj a person of evil lifo or
fame ; a suspicious purson having no visi
ble means of support , and unable to give
a good account'of herself " Her counsel
ofl'or the pica of not guilty , hut In almost
the sumo breath said she was willing to
'eavo ' the city. Tlio courts readily agreed
and the duchess departed. She is not
more than 25 , good looking and ,
when taken into custody wore a
costly velvet yalking suit. When she
found tlio police had discovered her
she made no dcXtmsu , but talked boldly
and nnblushingly of her success in plying
her trade of blackmail among public
men in Washington. At least one diplo
mat hero of high standing has given nor
money in the hope of sealing "her lips.
She claimed to have made a score of vic
tims among ttio senators and representa
tives. Among her more plcbian victims
was a hotel keeper , who loss , a paltry
$101) ) , provoked the beautiful blackmailer
to some contemptuous remarks in tlio
presence of the detectives. The style in
which the woman carried on her tralllc
Is pretty good evidence ot the lucrative
character of the field. She had with her
a young woman who played the role of
maid and a little child claimed as
her own , but really belonging
to the maid. Tlio retinue also
included a discreet colored man , who
acted as messenger. Mrs. Ellis , as she
called hursolf here , readily admits that
she has a speaking acquaintance with the
police of all the larger cities of the
country. In talking of her business she
said sue made it n rule to attract the at
tention of elderly men only , and she
found that not onn time in twenty did
her estimate of human nature prove un
true. The story which the people toll
about the woman is an interesting one.
She came to the city about six months
ago and look a suite of rooms at tlio
National hotel. Shortly after her arrival
the police were notified to arrest
her for tho'-l'hiladclphia authori
ties and two Uetoetivus were immediately
dispatched to'the'hotcl. ' They told their
mission and itlio > proprietors were her
rified. "Arrest this woman , they said ,
"and you witi gctypurself into trouble.
She is a pcrsppaLfricnd of the president ,
and has numerous inllueiitial friends
coino to see Her.1 Tlio ollicers , however ,
insisted , and 'ono of tlio men of the hotel
went to the dmiil-room | to summon her
but conducti'tl'littr ' to a carriage and went
immodmtolvlo ! ( the depot. Slio was not
in the least intimidated , however , and
shortly aftor'her hrrival in 1'hillrdejphia
she advertised "for a maid , one having a
child proforrcdj A young married
woman witlfl a little girl
two years i' t ofnge - was cngngcd.
She also .nngiiffed a , colored valet
and with thisirutimioshc again started for
Washington. . Her plan as partly unfold
ed to her maid was to pose as the wife of
a wealthy man. Her beauty would bo
sure to attract attention anil , having se
en rod old and wealthy lovers , she would
lead them on until they were too much
compromised to inform on her. She took
: i house in the northwestern part of the
city. This she furnished luxuriously and
began housekeeping. Her success scorns
to have been great , though in what former
or who her victims are is as yet only a
matter of rumor. It lias been found out ,
however , that a certain foreign minister
paid her furniture : dealer $100 to delay for
ono month the seizure of all the furniture
she had purchased and not paid for.
She confessed to her maid , whose name
she assumed , that she had by the use of
chloroform stolen over $140,000 in money
and valuables from dillerent purnons.
While in Chicago she hoarded at a first-
class hotel her money ran short , and she
hiil her valuable diamond ii'm and reported -
ported to the proprietors that her room

MINING MULES.
Animals AVIiicH Ifnvo Not Seen Day-
liKlit for Five Yearn.
A correspondent of the Atlanta Consti
tution , writing from tlio Pratt Minos. Al
abama , says : There are to bo seen here
bTimo remarkable mules that work in thu
coal mines , some of which have not seen
tliii light of day in six years. These mules
are kept in the shaft , a depth of ' 'Ot feet
below the surface.
The first mule that was carried down
was in 1880. Ho was put down in a cage
by Mr. h.W. Johns , mining engincornnd
Mr. Win. Falls , mining boss. The mule
was blindfolded and walked to the cage ,
whore ho was tied securely and lot down.
At the bottom , bis blinker was taken , ofV
and he wont about all right. The mule
is called "Jack , " ami is a bay animal ,
fourteen and a half hands high. Thosta-
bio boss is "Mr. Kelley , and the mule
knows him like a dog would his master.
Ho is fat and 'sleek , and knows as much
of the mines as any man who works in
thoin. If a lamp is placed on his head he
will go around tlio mine alone. The man
who drives him has no trouble , and if it
was not for the coupling and uncoupling
the cars ho would need no driver. This
mule is tins pel'df' the miners , and every
day when llM Six ) convicts and minors
Ijass his stable"'etifh one pats him airbc-
tioiiiitoly ou-'liH1 heiid. He is the most
contented in ho world , and is quiet and
doeilo. " ( i ' ,
Your corrcFDoitilont was taken in the
mines by Mr1''Johns ' and during die' visit
the mulus ufproj ! | * GII. The stabUware
made bydiggjdg'out a siding from tlio
main tunnel , and contain twenty mulus ,
all doelh ) , bleok aiul fat. Out of the
twenty-one 3jiHys ) under tlio ground
cloven have not teen daylight in live
years. , , -i
"The miilo.MJsaid Mr. Johns , "is a
curious iminiitl , nrtil is easily subdued.
Now and tliiui p u of these animals will
grow wild tht ) Uroiniml he is lowered into
tlie mine. When unco so lie miiat betaken
taken out. He cannot be managed if ho
remains twenty years. Wo liavo had
mules iii the mines no man could
manage. "
The mules sewn perfectly lumpy and
contented , nud eat , sleep , and drink
with the sumo , relish that they have on
the Mil-face , A mule in the mines can do
much harder work than those on the sur
face.
face.At
At nlopo No * 1 there is a mule called
"Foxy who can not bo hurt. He is the
chaining mule at the bottom of the slope ,
and hi * work in to bring cars to the chain
from the endless rope and to take empty
carsback. He is a wiao mule , and has
remarkable instinct. The rope has
broken , once or twice , and the mule
stepped to one side to escape the cars
that came rushing back. Ho knew by
sound that b'oiwthlng was wrong , lie
buars a charmed life , and has ncVt-r had
u scratch ) "while men have been killed
tlmo and ngniu nonr him. Mr. Sam
Alhop , the mining boss , $ ntl ! > ho could
not replace him on account of his super
ior mule scnso. The animal has been in
the mines four years , and is fourteen
hands high , and is gentle and kind. He
is a good puller , and never goes back on
anything that is put behind him ,
At the mines are seventy-live mules ,
worked under the ground , it is a singu
lar thing that these mules arc not fit tor
outdoor work , and would bo wild if taken
out.
RAILROAD DISCOVERY.
Story oftho First Time n Train \Vns
Hun by TeloRrnpli.
Utica Observer : In 1850 the Erie rend
was in operation between 1'iormoiit and
Klmira. The track was a single one ,
such n thing as a double track being then
unknown in the country. Two years
before , after must discussion and opposi
tion , a telegraph wire had been up along
the line , Superintendent Minot , who
was a long way ju advance ofCthp times ,
was a strong believer in the practicability
of tlio telegraph as a facilitator of trans-
portationon railroads. In the summer of
1850 ho was n passenger ono day on a
west-bound train over his road.
The tn\iu ho was on , according to
the printed timn-table , was to meet a
through train from the west at Turner's
station , forty-seven miles from New
York. When Mr. Minnt's train readied
Turner's , ho learned that the east-bound
train was six hours late , owing to some
mishap. Under the system of railroad
ing then governing employs the west
bound tram had to remain at Tumor's
until the delayed train passed the station.
In fact , the' whole husincs of tlio road
from there west was at a standstillowing
to tlie non-arrival of thejtrain at the differ
ent stations where other trains were
awaiting it. Superintendent Minot saw
at once liow ridiculous such a system
was. There was a tolccraph olltco at
Turner's and it was then the only one
between that station and Jersey City.
The superintendent went to the ollico
and made the operator's hair stand by
sending a message to the station agent at
Port Jervis that ho intended to run the
train lie was on from Turner's to Port
Jervis on the time of the belated eastbound -
bound train. He ordered the agent
not to lot any train leave that station jro-
ing cast until the train he was on arrived
there. Ho also ordered the agent to tel
egraph to him how ho understood the
message. The answer was satisfactory ,
and the superintendent went to the con
ductor of the train and told him to start
on Avltli his train. Thu conductor refused
to do so , and the superintendent dis
charged him on the spot. Minot then or
dered the engineer to pull out. The tou-
ginoor said ho would not take the risk ,
and in the argument which followed the
superintendent pulled the engineer from
the cab , gave him an elegant dressing
out , and mounted the footboard himself ,
lie ran tun train to Port Jervis and sent
it on west as for as Xarrowsburg before
it met tlie Mo train , thus saving'tho pas
sengers live hours , and settling forever
the question of the accuracy of the tele
graph in running railroad trains.
THE DEAD LETTER OFFICE.
The Present System A Museum to
tlio Avorasre Order.
Among the many places of interest to
bo visited in Washington , perhaps there
is no other that is so absorbingly inter
esting to the great mass of visitors as the
deail letter otlk'o and the museum con
nected with it. There is nothing to be
seen here , but every one is capable of
understanding and appreciating. Just
inside the hall a , large space is railed oil' ,
where visitors may stand and observe
at" 'their 'leisure thu work that is '
going on so busily Over lo.OOO
letters a day to bo examined , assorted
and disposed ofl What a large
corps of clerks is needed for the work ,
ami how quickly , skillfully and
mechanically it goes on ! In the lir.st
room the letters are opened and assorted ,
those containing money or articles of
value going ono way and all others go
ing another. A simple motion slits open
an envelope with unerring precision.
The letter is withdrawn , unfolded , fold
ed , replaced. The next letter the. same.
How fast the heaps of the examined
letters grow , but the work does not end ,
for the supply is never exhausted , but is
constantly replenished as the letters are
passed on. Here , as in many other de
partments , the work is several days or
weeks behind time , and fresh appropria
tions are needed for more workers. .
The opened letters containing inclo-
Piiros of value are restored to the senders
when practicable , otherwise they are re
corded and filed away , and may be re
claimed at any time. Oilier loiters are
not recorded. They are returned to the
writers , if possible , ami when the writers
cannot be found , the letters are de
stroyed. In the year 1834 , more than 17-
000 letters contained money , amounting
to nearly ? ! M,000. Some 20,000 letters con
tained drafts , checks , money orders , etc. ,
to tlm value of more than § 1,500,000.
Some idea of the growth of the postal ser
vice in the United States for a century
may be formed , when wo consider in
this connection the statement ,
quoted from a postal report in
1788 , that " ( > . > valuable letters
have accumulated in the department
since 1777. " Many thousand luttor.s are
received annually containing photo
graphs , postage stamps and articles of
merchandise. Thousands of letters are
diposited ) yearly in the postollico bearing -
ing nosuperscription ; whatever , and all
such of course are forwarded to tlio dead
letter ollieo for examination. Easier
cards and Christmas cards tire received
by the gross. These are distributed once
a month among the children in hospitals.
All reading mutter received , papers and
magazines are distributed among adults
in hospitals.
Interesting as is tlie work that is being
carried on in the dead letter ollice , the
museum of articles collected there is
infinitely more so , An inconceivable
variety of interesting objects , beautiful ,
horrible , attractive , disgusting , amusing ,
pathetic , valuable and worthless , are ar
ranged in the glass cases. Some nice
jewelry is displayed , brooches , lockets ,
a watch and rhain , the latest addition be
ing a line goliMicndod twno , brought in
the very day of our visit. There are a
number of pretty rings , Mender and
dainty cirelots ! How many an unwrit
ten romance may they not have repre
sented ! Were they betrothal rings , lonj'
looked for with viuu expectancy and
hopu detorriidn Did the j-omlurs wait for
a response , till the ardor that prompted
the gift grew cold ? \Vhocaii \ telly On
ly tlio Mbyte sworn to sccreoy , who
have jmniMitl the messages accompany
ing the gifts.
PENALTIES OFJ3EING RICH ,
Constant Appeals Tor Aid anil AlniH ,
The Philadelphia forrcspomlcdt of the
Chicago Tribune writes : A good friend
of mine sends mo a woful letter for re
ferring to him in the Tribune as ono of
the millionaires of this Quaker town , lie
says my attention t" him resulted in his
receiving two or three score of begging
letters from all iart-s ; of thu country ,
thereby at least giving one MHHO notion
of the extent of tlieTribiuii's travels and
influence. I was talking to another
Philadelphia millionaire about the mat
ter , Ho laughed and said that ono of
the penalties of boii f rich in this town ,
and probably everywhere else , is to be

have it , thai their chief reason for inau-
ing tlie request was that , publication
would result in Increasing the volume of
the flood of begging letters that is con
stantly Mowing in upon them. Isaiah V.
Williamson , the picturesque old bachelor
with ? ir,00a,000 , tolls me that ho receives
a bushel of bogging letters a week. Ho
declares that lib never pays attention to
any of them , but F rather suspect that ho
makes an exception now and ngnin , for
Iio lias a wonderfully good heart under
his rough oxtcrior and has given
away a quarter of a million , all
quite under the rose. Mr. George
W. Childs' morning mail always
contains ton or lifteen communications
from people soliciting alms or "loans. "
Tlio'u that seem to bo worthy he put
aside for investigation , the rest lie destroys
treys , for experience in mailers of that
sort confers in some degree the power of
distinguishing the good from the bad.
Of course many of those letters come
from cranks. Ono crank correspondent
living in Lonsdale.au interior town some
forty or fifty miles from this city , lias
been writing Mr. Childs every week for
more than ion years , and the phraseology
elegy of his letters never varies. I saw
ono of them tlio other day. This is what
it said :
Mr. Childs , Phlla. IIA.U : Sin : I hope and
pray you will loan me fifty tlmtiMind dollars
at good interest , for my Ambition is to mib-
lt > h the Apprentice Journal iu 1'hlla. It is a
{ jood scheme , and you wont be .sorry for It.
A thousand times , 1 hope , 1 may have an In
terview with vou this week , for sure. 1 wont
be satisfied until vou meet me , and have a
pleasant talk on the subject , please don't
toreet me.
The letters , of course , nro never an
swered , but still they come every Friday ,
and will continue to do so , I suppose ,
until the poor crank dies. Judge Hare ,
a relative of Mr. John Hare Powell , who
had the honor of being elected mayor of
Newport without opposition , is another
ono of Philadelphia's philanthropists
whoso mail is burdened with letters of
woe. He has them all looked into , and
he-keeps two .servants busy paying rent
for poor widows and buying clothes for
orphan children. He is , of course , very
wealthy. To go oii would bo to repeat
the foregoing' ' of half a hundred men
and women who have in abundance and
give munificently ; for , whatever we may
say as to the drawbacks and defects of
this dear old town , no city can surpass it
in the virtue of almsgiving.
Captain Mitchell , of the bark Antoine
Sala , New York and Havana trade , cam-
home in May. entirely helpless \vith
rheumatism , lie went to tlio mountains ,
but receiving no benefit , at his wife's re
quest , began to take Hood'sSarsaparilla.
He iimnediatory began to improve ; in
two months his rheumatism was all none

House leagues arc being established in
Irish towns , with the object of bringing
rents to a live-and-let-live figure , and of
having the residences of individuals de
cently provided for in a sanitary way. It
is also m.si.sted that icnts shall uo abated
in the case of houses in town as well as
in lands , and made.siibjcct to the decision
of the hind commissioners. This _ movement -
ment is meeting with some opposition , as
many of the loaders oftho land league ,
though not owning laud , are large own
