those bearing six per cent., now lodged
in the Treasury to secure the cireulatkin

the urgent'calls from many portions of
country for an increase of the circulation,
- the Controller estimates that the addi
tional amount of bonds, required for se
curing another $50,000,000 of currency,
might be issued, and the total amount of
interest paid would still be $2,190,152
less than is paid upon the six per cents.

further inducement, the Controller points
out that the increased issue of bonds

The recent terrible tragedy' in Phila

joyed the reputation of being la church
member, a kind hushind and fitffier, and
a good citizen, is not without Many com
panion pieces of similar wick6dness in
the recollection of our youngeSt readers.
Indeed, at about the same time that he
was butchering his wife and children, and
making ready to destroy his own life, in
order to complete his revenge on an un
propitious world, a proininent and highly
respected merchant of Cleveland was
penning a , note to the Coroner, which
was subsequently found on his bullet
pierced body, inying "this - is a case of
suicide,-caused by business cares and per
plexities." The \world is ; charitable
enough to' permit both these suicides to
escape censure, covering their grave
crimes against God and inciety with the
plea •of "depressed spirits," or "tem
porary derangement" There is a start
Ipg point at which that disease of the
mind could readily be• checkedif those
who become victims cared to avoid the
serious consequences which must inevita

theyare willing to be happy and cheerful,
and may afford even so fax to forget the

with their friends and be merry. Few

without encountering vexatious troubles
or Involving themselves in pecuniary em

on the prOsperous merchant, he• should

Is not in prosperity that buoyancy in
spirits, cheerfulness and good nature,
shottld attend the merchint, so much as
when he is surrounded by unpropitious cir
cumstances. He then needs all the powers
of his body and mind to weather the storm
and disentangle himself from the intricate
difficulties in which placed, and if he falls
into despondency and melancholy he loses
them, and energyless, inert and incapa
ble, he invites not only the continuance of
his troubles, but lik . ewise a:wrecked intel

By C. Marcel, Kn't Leg. Hon. Pub
lished by D.Appleton & Co., New York.
The views of the author of this work
are so clearly defined, arti sensible, that
they cannot' fail to command respect.
The high character, of this linguist is
worthy of . note. The art of thinking is
discussed as the best and most successful
mode of acquiring a foreign language in ,
contra distinction to the usual way, by the
eye instead of the ear. The design of the
work is to provide a method for the mas
tery bfa foreign language, by training the
ear before an-attempt is made.to converse,
following nature, as illustrated by the in
fant in the varied course of timiculory es-
ercises,beforpAhe tongueis called into ac,
ton. • Persons who adhere to the method
AA down in this work, will be able to ac
quire the knowledge of a foreign language
withalmost the facility ofhi s native tongue.
In .a > trard, the ear is to be educated before
the`memory, thereby overcoming the dif
ficulty of hot understanding the ,spoken
language, though able to read and speak
it themselves "With considerable fluency.
It is a valuable work ,to those interested
in the study of foreign languages.

"SEE WHAT WOERI BRLNGS AUN
TO.",
• '
This is the expresslve title of a medical
tract, by Surgeon Alfred Haviland, of
London, in which he gives "a few
words of advice on the danger of hurry
and excitement, especi ally addressed to
railway travelers.", The author points
out the particular the mstances, chiefly
diseases of the heart, i hich render the
sudden exertion, on a full stomach, of
hurrying to be in time r or the train, fatal
in some cases, and seriusly damaging to,
the weakened organs in others. Cases
are ajbluced in confirm tion of the posi
-1
tionsnald down. "The old coaching
time," when passengers could leisurely
book their places, and take them quietly
at the time of departure, if contrasted with
the present time, when all classes enter
the same train, and all alike hur
ry to bne spot, with one object
—to save the tnain. { Following Mr.
Haviland, we may say, that everything
is changed, even our bodies are changing,
for all this striping to do certain distances
in certain given times has engendered an
irritability in, our organs which has told
upon thousands, and will tell upon thou
sands more. Many a brain and spinal
cord have suffered from the vibratory mo
tion of railway carriages, which some
times lasts for days after a journey; a
limb, the, nerves of which have been
weakened by disease, often retains a feel
ing of this motion or many hours after,
and severe neuralgia bas been known tb
be the sequel. The action of the heart
is often quickened, and the .organ be
comes more sensitive in some individuals,
especially those of a sanguine,
nervous
temperament. The stomach is not in
frequently upset in a manner similar
to what was experienced on the
road by some persons when they
sit with their backs tp the horses.
All these things are, however, more or
less inevitable, since we cannot do with
out railway traveling; but with proper
knowledge many of the inconveniences
resulting might be obviated. To this
task the author applies himself, after '
stating that it woutd be desirable to
know, as a statistical fact, the number of
persons who \,haVe fallen dead while hur
rying to the train.' Whether a person be
diseased or not, one caution must always
li-i remembered—never to exert yourself
when the stomach is full. "If there is an
organ in, the body that ii`more intolerant
than any other of hurry and bustle, it is
the stomach. Man is the only animal
that really treats it badly." The heart
and brain participate in the healthy ac
tion of the stomach by good digestion;
they - suffer, also, 'by its irregulari
ties and disorders. Constant irri
tation of the heart by an abuse
of the functions of the stomach, is liable to
produce cardiac disease, , and with this
state diminisheii ability to encountfirihe
strain of sudden exertion or the - fatigue
from prolonged exercise. deference is
made to the periodity of the functions of
the chief organs—stomach, heart, lungs,
and brain, and the necessity of giving
each its full period of repose. The brain
is the only one of those organs that can
enjoy actual and entire rest, as in sleep;
with the others therels merely diminish
ed exercise or strain, an opportunity for
obtaining which ought to be carefully and
regularly allowed. The heaift, indeed,
cannot stop its beats, nor the lungs their
breathing, but both of them can be made
to enjoy relaxation in sleep in a recum
bent posture. .
Much stress is laid on 'the traveler's
meals, and the advice is iterated, that
people should never hurry themselves at
their meals or before a meal—the very
anticipation of being pushed for time is
adverse to the enjoyment of a meal as
well as to its digestion. But what can a
traveler do on a railroad, in the way of
carrying - out .. hygenic predepts, unless
railway directors - and superintendents
I have some bowels of compassion, and al
, low a reasonable time for the now vic
i tim travelers to take their meals without
haste and confusion. On many of our
great American railways there have been
great reforms in this particular:' The ap
plicable advice on the present occasion is,
however,to those persons who ride from
' their aces of residence to the city
for the transaction of business. "A
late dinner or a high tea is better than
supper. " Soon after 9 o'clock the weak
time of the heart begins,, and hence it
ought to be saved from the additional ex
citement\ and irritation that would, be
caused by . s- a full stomach and alcoholic
stimulate at Cr near this hour. Persons
.suffering from retarded and irregular sc.?
tion of the heart ought, at all times, to
avoid taking much fluid with their meals,
or between them. Referring to ' malt
liquorit M. Haviland tells ns: "Intact
there is hardly such a thing to be obtained
as a general rule," and again he is, of
course,.speaking ,of .
~Englfsh brews,
"Mach of the so-called nialt liquor of the
present dayis a disgrace to a beer drink
hag country, and is prodtictlve of much
stomach :derangement" In many per
sons smoking immediately after a. meal
retards,' we are told, digestion, and in
some suspends it altogether.. •

A subscriber, Mr. S. W. Powell, of
'chiesnyjn., ";writes> to the Hearth and
Home as follows: "Can thorough ventil

ation be bad at , small coat? With open
stOyee, yes; with close stoves, no. In
the latter case, exhaustion at • the floor
level is necessary, and unless this is pro.
vided for when the house is built,' it' is
costly, and not easy to get at any price.
But with an open stove there is no trouble.
In my toeriisuch' a steie, burning soft
coal, is placed in the corner, facing diago
nally toward the centre of the apartment.
Tho back is covered with a sheet-iron
jacket, oloied below,at the sides, but open
above. Into the bottom of this comes a
five-Inch pipe from' the • lower left hand
corner of the window. I took out a pane
of glass, filled its place with a board,
through which passes < the pipe. The
space between the stove and the sheet.
iron jacket is thus filled with warm fresh
air, and pours it into `the room. The open
stove exhausts from the lower part of the
stove where the carbonic acid hes: Win-
dows and doors can be tight—the more so
the better. By a deep .dish fitting into a
hole at the top, I get several' quarts Of
evaporation daily. The whole cost was
some five dollars, and I think that amount
will be saved in fuel in one season. This
plan will work anywhere, and with me
works perfectly. The advantage of ra
diant over conduet heat is very great."

The Pacific Railway Conthwergy,
The distance on the Pacific Railroad,
from Omaha to Sacramento, is one thou
sand seven hundred and sixty miles. The
Omaha line is, to-day, one 'thousand and
fifty-six and a half miles west of Omaha.
The Sacramento line is five hundred and
ninety-four miles east of that city, leaving
a gap, to-day, of one hundred and ten
miles. There is now a contest going on,
here between the two companies, as to
where the the two roads shall meet. The
California end is desirous of haVing the
junction at Ogden, clue thousand and.
twenty-nine miles from Omaha, but the
Omaha, or Eastern line, to-day crossed .
Bear river, with their engine and track,
thirty-one miles west of Ogden, and will
reach Monument point betore'the Califor
nia end come up. Ills is one thousand
one hundred and five miles from Omaha.
It is to induce the Eastern line to stop
building, and await the arrival of the
Western rail, that the contest is now
going on. But, President Grant and his
Cabinet have decided that the Omaha line
shall go -on until it meets the other.
Urinpt the laws of Pennsylvania in
reference to hawking and peddling, it has
recently been decided by the Supreme
Court, that manufactured articles mean
wares made in foreign countries .and do
not include wares manufactured in the
United States, but out of Pennsylvania.
The acts since 1830 against peddling
without license were intended to embrace
both foreign and domestic goods, exempt
ing, however, from their operations, citi
zens of Pennsylvania peddling goods' f
their own manufacture. But ,in the act
of 'April 16th, 1840, the word "domestic"
was dropped inadvertently, it is asserted,
since the consequently useless and un
meaning provision is retained, which al
lows citizens of Pennsylvania without
license to peddle goods of their own make.
However this may wasdecided that
the many acts on the sibject being inter
preted so as to form a complete ffatem,
the word "foreign" should receive the
construction mentioned above. And the
Court held that it was not necessary to
take out a license to peddle in Pennsyl
vania goods made in any other State of
the United States.
HALF the Indian wars spring from
treaty breaking and knavish dealing on
our part, usually the fruit of our vicious
Indian Bureau system. Nor is this all.
The expense of the Bureau is great, and
the agents are never economical. Gen.
Hazen, writing to Gen. Garfield from
Fort Cobb last January, declared that his
own expenses were not over a third of
those of the Indian Bureau for the same
articles. At that time he was feeding the
Indians collected about the fort from all
quarters. Beef cost him three cents per
pound, while the Bureau paid Perry
Fuller nine and there were parties waft
ing,to con tract for three. Four hundred
and fifty stock cattle (utterly unfit they
were, by the way, for their use) 'were
bought for the Comanches by the Bureau
at siz times the price at which they could
be had anywhere. The Government
must have lost over $lO,OOO on this single
small item. And so on with everything
else.—.N. Y. Times.

The demand for your medicine is gradrially in

place of other:similar prettirations, now toting
extensively advertised throughout Kentuctiand
the Southern States, but th*e is little advertis
ing needed that will reach the, masses. Circu;
lars will do very well in the locality where the
Blood Searcher is sold, but the greater number
are only to be reached through the medium of a
popular newspaper, a few insertions is all that
Is required. Let the people of 'Unlucky once
know that DR. KETSE.I'S BLOOD SEARCHER
can be had at the Medicinal and Toilet Depot,
Louisville, Kentucky, anddluarantee a profita
ble return. I have an 'extenatve acquaintance
throughout Kentucky and the South, and though
1 claim not to be an exceetion to the generality
of my fellows, I flatter myself that the tiame of
W. W. WILLIAMS, as Agent for, the Blood
Searcher, will at least 11 , :t lesson the demand,
but on
the contrary, will ihduce litany to take
hold of It, and when they nave done so it will
matter very little who is the Agent, or where
It comes from, DR. KETSEWS 'BLOOD
