Thouinsen, en belialf of the United States Brewers' association, Ims undertaken te marshal the statistics of Insanity and crime, pan perism and drunkenness, se as te dl? dl? dl? preve most that Is claimed by prelilbi tienlsts with relation te the use of liquor as a crime cause ; and at the satne time te demonstrate the advantage of beer ever ardent spirits. In the pursuit of material for his argument this writer has inade inquiry especially of superintend ents of Insane asylums with results alto. .Kethtr satisfactory te himself 5 and has proved that, at least with relation te insanity, intemperance Is by no means se common a cause as it issoefteu repre sented te be by zealous reformers. The same Is true of peultentlary and prlten statistics. There are ether caused of crime, mere radical and probably as wide reaching in the higher grades of offense, than the use of liquor and, as has Ik n shown in the in vestigations of the eastern penitentiary, drinking often resulting from these is confounded with the real cause. Mr. Thomason, tee, will find few te gainsay the theory that the evils of intemper intemper ance have been ameliorated by the in creasing substitution of light wines and beer for ardent spirits ; this has been recognized by most rational tt mperance reformers and is incorporated into the policy of the law in many states. Ne geed cause gains from the over statements of its super-zealous adve cates ; and the temperance cause has unquestionably suffered very much from the exaggerations and fanaticism of many who have assumed te d rect it JJut, en the oilier hand, it will net de for the representatives of the liquor interest te totally dispute the necessity and practicability of establishing and enforcing a wise restriction of the sale of spirituous and fermented liquors. Every civilized government has recog nized the expediency of this, net only a? a means of revenue, but ai a proper social regulation. And it is by no means certain th.it the perfec tlonef wisdom has been reached in any of the Bjstems new in vrgue. It is gen erally conceded tuat that which is in operation in our state is dlspunt d and needs some sort of amendment. "V tit re judges exerc 94 their discretion wisely, and popular opinion backs up a ngul enforcement of the law, it probably works well, but thii happy conjunction soldetn occurs and the evils of intemj er ance and abuse of license gniuts are such as te have created a deep feel ing with regard te tie liquor laws that wdl net be satisfied without s-erau aniumlmentef tlieru. Should the preposition te repeal the internal levi-uuu laws prevail, and the tax en the manufacture of liquors be removed, there will, no d ubt, be a gen. oral rein idellins of the license lawn by most of the states ; and it is high time t: consider what is the lies' methej te raise 1 cal revenues from this source, while at the suae time the most ulicieut regulation of the traillc is secured. An Unpleasant Diet. The defeat of the Morrison bill lies very iudigestibly in the stomach of the Philadelphia Jlvenl, which refuses te assimilate an-thing but a straight free trade diet. The 7fte.nl is entitled te select its fend te its ple-uement ai d te eat nothing but Graham bread, if it de lights in nothing else. Hut people vuth that bert of digestion are neutrally re garded by tLeir fellows as weak in the head ns well as the stomach, and the Jlecerd dots its reputation for mental strength no credit by its refusal te re cognize the right of ether people te think for themselves upon the tariff question and te reacti a different conclusion from that which is pleasing te itself. It m tej well marked an attribute of a small arid narrow mind te thus illiberal! treat its fellows for these who practice it te gain credit by it. We are sorry te see the JrYcerc? permit its free trale era" te challenge ita reputation for t.ie geed sense te which it is otherwise euttlied Surely It cannot fail te see thai when it Bpeuks of the forty one Dkumlm'.s who voted agalust the Mornseu bill, as "a malignant faction of the paity," who "have gor.e into the Kepnblican camp," and as "small in number and still smaller in intelligence," it gives the veiy best reason for doubting its own Intelligence ; for what can be mere silly than te say that these fully-one men aie Republican.", in view of the fact that their Democratic constituencies sustain them ; or te say that they de net cast an intelligent vote, when it is a question whether thoyde net have the majority of the minds in the country upon their side V If the lticenl propose te preserve Its own lepute ferbeiihe it will net chal lenge that of si great a bolyef its fel lows. Tin: directions lett by Dr. Oieas a t the disposition of ids body will seem te many persons eminently sensible, and woare of the number who he regard them. The dissection of ids remains promoted the ends of science and the burning of Ids body was a testimony of his opinion as te the attest method of disposing of the dead. Cremation, we believe, will ilually ceme into general practice. Nothing can lie urged ngalnst it but prejudice, and it lias in its favor the fact urged by Dr. Gress Unit it removes the taint of corruption from the air we breathe.

The lainp-iiu the tei-er threw their light en the narrow railroad tracks that centre nt this point Within the tower, whither the reporter had geno te inspect the new intel looking switch system, naught is heard but the clicking of the telegraph wires, varied occasionally by the tnotielo ueuscliawl of the night operator, as lie calls elf te the lever mm, iu check shirt nud brown eieialls, the combination of levers m-ei ss.uy te be diiiwn lu order te ina'te the tiaek safe for an approaching train. I'l'lcrt HIP'S VlHIt) ItKI'H', Theie nte m all eight tracks that eon veige at Dillerville. llegiutiitig at the north, the Menet ,le cut nil has two tiacks, the Columbia cut oil has two mere, and the Hlngle tracked leading cie.-sesthe latter. 'Then comes from the southwest the Meuut Jey single track. aud lurthest s.uith are the two tracks Irem l.iueaster. 'Toe system that was iiitiodueed ou Apnl'.'S (brief allusion te which was undo at the ttiue iu these columns), for controlling theso night tracks is er.silj uuderstoed when sen. lu thn second tl ter of the tower .ire plu-cd in loegltudiu.il eider, six inches apart, the levers that control and lock the switches and these also that control the signals. 'The levrs wheu at rest are nenily porpendieuUrly upright, and when in use they ate inclined te an angle of le der-es. 'There are forty si of them in all, sp ice being left for two mero ler the control of the turn table, which wete found unnecessary. Of thesj forty six, nine nre painted black and uitie blue. The first aie for the switches, fifteen tu nuiii ber, and the second leek the switches after they nre put iu place. It will be seen at a glance hew admirably this sys tt'tn works in reducing the possibility of aecideut te a minimum. When the switches are euce arranged for a cert.uu train, they uie promptly locked from the t wer te proreut their disturbance, aud the siguals that are controlled by the re maiuiug twenty sight signals warn oil all ethei trims fiem the track iu ipn-stieu. Tlies-nttlil el MjllitW. ( the twenty eight levers controlling tbe signals, twenty three are paiuted red, unhealing red signils, nud Iho green, in die itivu of signals of the latter color. These Mguu'sare caded semaphore signals and .no if two kinds, semaphore home aud S, maphore distant signals. 'They ate pi iced en pests Irem 10 te "id fevt iu in ight, at: I when at rest they project from tbe top of the pest at right angles, falling te au nuglti of l"i clegiees when operated fiem the tower. The home signals, 11 in number, all el which aie ted, are wiilnu JO letit of the lower. Toe semaphore dis tai t are mm It furthi r removed, t he m ist ibstant signal being lS-'O feet away. Five of the distant s-gnals are greeu and I-.' are red. aud theycau be scen far down the track. Tbe distant signals have usually thrce arms, whilj these uearer the tower have one and two, the uutubsr being geverned by the tracks necessary t be controlled. The f-etmnhore bignuls make a very pretty sight at night. The arms with tin ir whit", red and green appendages, riiug and falling as occavieu requires, soemiLg like rockets whoie course has beun sud denly interrupted. As m well kuewn te railroad meu, red iud. cites danger, preen caution aud white a cleat truck. These siguals. work b it in ene direction ; that is, exclusively from the side en which they aie ctlercd. The reverse side of the arm, that tapers te a p dot nt the pest, widening at its eutir extremity, is paiuted white with a black band across its middle, in order te tnakn it mero easily distinguish able fiem the tower in foggy weather. The levers tn the tower which thus opeiato the switches, locks and signals all have latchets that raise the catches in the big ie:ker en which the levers are placed, en-vbling the latter te operate. Teere are also used in e miieo'ien with the switches niguals called buttettly lamps 'They are en the greun i a few f e t from the ir.i.'k aud weik iu conjunct! m with thu switches. The last of the fcries of s.;u ils nre the b inner block signals, 1(1 iu nuinber, werked by the operator in the tewer in connection with the semaphore. signals. These are en a rack above the operator's head, each signal lias a handle appropriately painted ; and when undis turbed they show white, when pulled dewu they exhibit in thu box near by the signals oerrcspoudlug in oelor te the handles used. Hew tlie )tciti tti.rhs. The system, while uccessanly Intricate iu us detailed explanation, is himple enough iu practice. In order te provide azainst any mistakes by empleyes, a chart of the diflerent combinations te be used fr guarding the various traskn is cou ceu cou spi.ueusly exhibited en the wall above the levers. Fer instance, a train is com ing from Mt. Jey te LTOcastcr : Thn operator notifies the lever man of its ap preach some titne boferu its arrival and thn latter promptly gets the tracks in readi ncss. He first pulls down lever 3D, which leeks a crossing switch aud nt the u-itne ttinu gives a red sigual, warning off all trains Irem the approach te the crossing. Lever -'J is next pulled dewi aud thu switch controlled by it m put in place, fur the train. Theu -", a switch lever, is pulled down and promptly locked by levor Wl. Lever 2 1 is next put iu operation aud it controls the track bars, used by the tracks that cress the Mount Jey line. 'These track bars are euly used at crossings, and they serve te leek ull signals while a train is ou a track which may be crossed. It is thus Impotsible for any ethor train te get a whlte slgual until the train in cpus cpus tieu has passed. After these prelimiua ries, levors 47, 40 aud 48 are put iu opera tien, giving tbe approaching train thu white tdgnal and all ethers the signal of danger. It will thus be r.ecn that a collision can only urine whoa the siguals are llatiy ig iiurcd. They are a vast improvemout ou the eldor methods, and It is hard te nee hew greater precautions could be taken te avell aeoldent. If the bomaphero distant signal U passed by, the semaphere home signal warns the engineer of a train that he must net approach, thou the butterlly lamp shows danger, aud finally the traek is locked against him. Te suppese oue capable of making nil these blunders is te admit a density of comprehouHlou rare in the avorage man. Tite systom.since its induction, April 28, has worked Uke a ebarm.
