An Answer to Alarmist*. groin (lis !*• Tork Conimsrcial AS'fftlasr. The official *tatement of the earning* of the Pennsylvania railroad for duly, 1881, compared with the corresponding month of last year, may be regarded a* an index to the condition of the rail road business and the general condition of the business of the country. The increase in gross earnings for the month of July, was $.130,774, which waa a net increase of #188,466, the increased ex penses having been $142,308. For tha seven months of 1881. the increase in pros# earnings was #2,460,543 j increased expen5e5,(1,359,330 j incrcaaed net earn ings, .f I ,(Ki. 113. Thi. same story will be told by ull the leading railroad*, and is tbe bent answer that can be made to the alarmists and speculators who have been trying to create an uneasy feeling and bear all kinds of aecuritiea. There in more or less li-ar that the President's death tnay be followed by financial dis turbancea, but there is no reason for it. Nothing will be disturbed if that un happy event takes place. The railroads never did no well as they are doing this summer, und if people would only calmly consider the question, they would see why this is inevitable. The country is highly prosperous. Business is more or less brisk, notwithstanding we are in the dog days. The railroads are offered more traffic than they can well dispose of, and notwithstanding the war about which so much has been said, they will ull show heavy increased earnings. The President's Mother. a visit to o.vr. or the noon oi.ii rioMtess or onto. Mm. William M.TujUir in tin* N * tuOir Cotirftut. In the (piiet little village <>l Iliram, Ohio, I had the pleasure of spending several hours with Mrs. (iarfield, the aged mother of the President, a jovial, fresli faced lady of over eighty years, who still walks as spry as a girl. Our gilled President must have inherited much of his marvelous energy from his little mother, whose kindly, resolute face is only a more delicate type of the rugged features of tier statesman son. With much vivacity she told us of earlier days, when left a widow with four little children, her pioneer neigh bora offered to make a "bee'' sud split rails for fencing her land. But when these helpers found that this staunch young temperance matron would not furnish them whiskey, according to the custom then, they all quit their work, leaving the logs only quartered. But, true to her principles and nothing daunted, the grand little woman her self took up the maul and alone split sixty rails. She says: "Kvery time I lifted the maul, it was so heavy and I so slender, its weight neurly pulled me backward." "Are you not proud to think of it now?" asked her aged sis ler, Mrs. Bovnton. "< >h.'' answered Mrs. . I find that the sentiment of this extract prevails all over the South where I have been : "A few nights ago a family in this plare, wbiie preparing for rest, was speaking of Garfield. A little boy nine years old took part. After rising from bis evening prayer, he said in whispered tones : 'I hope God will cure President Garfield.' As he jumped u|>on the bed he asked : 'Father, do you think Mr. Garfield will get well?' 'I hope he will, don't you F t lb. how many prayers go up to Heaven day and night from the wayside draw ing room and the bed chamber for the recovery of our wounded President. They are not loud and long, but short, earnest and silent, and more accepts ble. How often 'Lord bless our wound ed President!' 'O God, restore Mr. Garfield and bless his family !' are ear ned to Heaven with an earnest sigh, God only knows." These Southern people, with all of their faults and shortcomings (and 1 have been raised to believe that they have many) are in no wise tainted with hypocrisy. On the railroad trains, at the hotel, in their stores and private dwellings, you hear nothing but the sincerest sympathy for Mr. Garfield, and if Southern sentiment should pre vail Ouiteau would not live an hour after the President dies. 1 was raised North, and am a "Hepuplicsn of lie publicans," and love ttiy party, but my eyes have been opened as to tbe South ern people's temjter snd disposition by a few weeks' sojourn South. | hope you will copy the extract into your pai>er. W. 1,, ft. New York Commercial Traveler. Montgomery, Ala., August 21. f'arioit* Freak of Nature. a woman with two nr. Aim ano rota a MB, According to the New York Kvening Trlrgram, a woman having two beads and four arms is being exhibited at the corner of Broadway and Ninth streeU, New York. The other portion of tbe body la the same as that of an ordinary person, while the heads are like two different individual*. Both speak five different languages. They oonvrre with different individuals upon different sub jects, and often in different languagee. When both heads are spoken to they reply together, not alwaye using the same words, but always conveying the same thought. Tbey claim to have the same tastes, likee and dislikes. The* show that their intelligence Is of a high order and that tbey ere perfect e|n> nents of amiability. Above the point of tbe union the sense of feelings la separate and distinct in each ; below the union it is in common. Mho dis plays considerable musical knowledge and culture, and at each entertainment sings a duet, one head taking the so prano, the ether the alto. They are different from the Siamese, wtio were two distinct individuals joined bv a ligature, while Millie-Christine have but one body below the waist. To address her is a •'iflictill tusk, as one feels un certain to call her she, they or it. In fact, the two headed lady is decidedly a poser to every one but herself. STATE NEWS.

A few hours prior to tier death a child was born to her, and it is said to be so impregnated with the poi son that it will die. There are sixty-one trout streams in this State that the fi-li commission have stocked with fish, placing from one to six thousand in each stream. By a law of the Slate, fishing in waters tlitis stocked is forbidden until three years after such slocking.
