The Cincinduti Gazette is making war against what it terms the sleeping-car swindle. A correspondent ol that paper says : 'In the beginning ot this accommodation (the Blecping-ear) the price wtis 75 cents, or $1.50 ior a lower double berth j but du ring the war it was increased perhaps one third, and the people did not complain. Now, while every discription of expense has diminished, this has been advanced un til it is a shameful extortion." The Gazette says there is one railroad company in the west that has given notice to the sleeping-car managers to haul off their cars unless they comply with their contr&ct. This contrast limits the chnrge for sleeping bet ths to 50 cents, being SI per night for a double lower berth. The charge from Cincinnati to New York for a double lower berth is $1, and for a section S8. Almost halt as much in charged fur this sleeping privilege as the railroad com pany receives for transpotat'on. Tho pub public are advised to 'let the sleeping cars alone' until the churi;os are modified. Important Nfcwsi'ArE hC h a x o e .

AN FLY LLUHTED TENT, TO TUB NERVOUS Aft DEBILITATED, WHOSE SUFFERING HAVE BEEN PRO TRACTED FROM HIDDEN CACSE.-J, AND WHOSE CASE3 REQUIRE I'llOJfirT TlttiJi TJTIEJVT TO RENDER EXISTENCE DESIRABLE. If you arc suffering or have suffered, from involuntary discharges, what effect does it produce upon your general health ? Do you feel weak, debilitated, ea sily tired 1 Does a littlo extra exertion produce palpation of the heart ? . Does your liver, or urinary organs, or your kidneys, frequently get out of order ? Is your urine sometimes thick, milky or flocky, or is it ropy on settling ? Or does ti thick skutn rise to tho top 1 Or is a sediment nt the bottom after it has stood awhile ? Do you have spells of short breathing or dyspepsia? Are your bowels constipated ? Do you have spells of fainting, or rushes of blood to the head ? Is your memory impaired ? Is your mind constantly dwelling on the sub ject ? Do you feol dull, listless, moping, tired of company, of life f Do you wish to bo left alone, to get away from everybody? Does any little thing trake you start or jump ? Is your sleep broken or restless It Is the lustre of your eye as brilliant? The bloom of your cheek as bright ? Do you enjoy yourself in society as well ? Do you pursue your business with tho same ener gy ? Do vou feel as much confidence in yourself f Are your spirits dull and flag ging, given to fits of mclencholy ? If so, do not lay it to your liver or dispepsia. Have you restless nights ? Your back weak, and have but littlo appetite, and you attribute this to dyspepsia or liver-complaint? Now, reader, self-abuse, veucral disease badly cured, and sxual excesses, are all ca pable of producing a weakness of the gene rative organs. The organs of the genera tion, when in perfect health, make the man. Did you ever think t'nat thoso bold, defi ant, ePTgetic, persevering business-men are always thoso whose generative organs are in perfect health? You never hear such men complain of being melencholy, of nervousness, of palpatation of the heart. They aro never nfruil they cannot succeed in business; they don't become sal and dis couraged ; they are always polite and pleas ant in company of ladies, and look you and fhem right in the face none of your down cast looks or any ether tucannees about them. I do not mean those who keep the orgrns inflated by running to excess. These will not only ruin their constitutions, but also thoso they do business with or for. How mancy men, from badly cured diseases, from the effects of self-abuse and excesses, have brought about that stato of weakness in those organs that has reduced the general sys tern so much os to induce almost every other disease idiocy, psralysis, spinal aifections, suicide, and almost every .her form of dis. ease which humnnity is heir to nnd tho real cause of the trouble scarcely ever suspected, and have doctored for all but the right one.
