"The Sleeping-car Swindle. 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.

AND WHOSE CASE3 REQUIRE

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.
