GRAND turn% AND'INDIANA RAIL-
ROAD.
TUE CONTRAST. ,
From Ft. Wayne,. in Indiana, one
hundied and forty miles north to Grand
Raplo, we have passed through a sue
'
cessionof populous towns and over fields
long since subdued from the natural state,
\t
and no* yielding rich harvests to the
hand of the husbandman. Now we
plunge in o the dense forest, an occasional
clearing, with scanty patches of cultiva
tion only \ serve to make the thicket
and - the heavy timber appear im
penetrable and impossible of subjuga
tion. It will be many long years before
these tracts, bristling with obstructions,
can be reduced to a productive State and
support its own population—where then
are your resources for rallWay traffic,
where your manufactures, your agricul.
tural products ? To those who do not re
flect upon the rapid disappearance of our
once supposed to be inexhaustible stores
of timber, these questions would naturally
arise.
PINE LrmBEE
There are many individuals who
Can take a map and point to you the few
places now left from which the great and
constantly increasing demand for lumber
can be supplied. These individuals will
hell you that the region traversed by the
line of this railroad contains probably the
rngest, and certainly the most accessible
o valuable tract of Pine timber in the
ountry. They will also tell you that this
land was a few years ago regarded as of
tle or no value—five, ten, fifty dollars an
acro are now paid for land for the value of
the timber alone, for which a few years
ago nobody would pay the government
price of a dollar and a quarter an . acre.
Within a space of fifty miles from the line
of this road, there are probably four mil
, lions of acres of fine timber-land. This
railroad will at once make this timber ac
cessible to new and valuable markets.
THE LUMBERMAN.
The Muskegon, the Manistee, &c.,
large rivers, with their tributaries, fur
' nit% transportation for logs_and unlimited
water power for hundreds or thousands
of mills, and the lumbermen will give
instant and profitable employment to the
railroad. Already upon some of these
* streams mills are erected, and many mil
lions feet of lumber annually find way to
:Lake Michigan downtheir courses.
RAILROAD IN OPERATION.
Penetrating this region, forty miles of
railroad are now completed, passing the
villages of Rockford, Cedar Springs, &c.,
1 ., to Morland. Already a large business has
.17, been developed, sufficient to .proVe by a
practical teat that the road must be a
i profitable investment. Twenty miles
of the road now under contract
will be in operation in July
next, which will pass the
vil
lage of Big , Rapids on the . Muskegon
to Paris on the same stream. Thence
north of Little Traverse Bay, and to the
Eitraits of Mackinaw, there are a few set
tlements of limited extent. I The road
! passes within twenty miles of Traverse
City, at the head of Grand Traverse Bay.

Arguing with Women.
tirom the Saha day Review.)
Ingenious, but untrue, is the statement
that men will not argue with women be-
cause they despise them. Able men do
not despise cultivated and intelligent wo
men, or think them incapable of throwing
new light upon any subject that may be
under discussion. On the contrary, such
men know very well that, as regards the
contribution of new and really valuable
matter to any discussion, the general run
of men and women in good society are
pretty much on a par. The number of
men who, in a discussion on any subject,
can bring really fresh stores of ready and
accurate knowledge to bear, are always
very few. Men like Lord Macaulay or
' Sir W. Hamilton are not more plentiful
in society than women like Miss Marti
! neau. Tried by the standard of 'sound
knowledge the talk of an average - man is
just as ignorant and nonsensical as the
talk of an average woman. And tried
by the standard of imagination—that is of
the power of making new or unexpected
I combinations and comparisons—the talk
of women is generally better, within cer
tain limits, than that of men, In tact also,
ill the art of leading and drawing out dis
,
cession, women are, on the whole, far
i superior to men. So that it is not from
a feeling of contempt that the cultivated
man declines to argue with the cultivated
woman.
A more plausible,
but still unsatisfac
tory, theory is that men do not argue
with .women • because women cannot
argue, inasmuch as they are - very incori
sequencial and illogical. This theory is
not worth _so much as it is sometimes
supposed. I.lo_4oubt women are illogical.
The number of women whose training
and reeding have been such as to enable
them to pursue, for five minutes, a sound
:Course of ar gument, is very small.
But boto great is the number of
men who - beim that _capacity ? Let
any man moving in, a cultivated circle of
'general 'society-nor even; laierhaps, In the
peculiar .circles,of Ozford-o; Cambridge
—think over the Hst of hilfrlndannd ac
quaintances, both men and women: Is

meb who will make glaring blunders in

greater ,than that of Cornelia to thereat of
her sex,— • •

The generality Of women may perhaps
be a little inferior to the generality, of
men in concious analysis of the processes
Of thought; but tt is not this analysis
which comes princlpaly Into play in the
course of an ordinary 'social argument.
Such an arginnent generally consists, in
the main, of the , production by one side
of contrary instances' against the uni
;
versaEpropositions hazarded.by the other
side-4 struggle in which ready wit and
a serviceable memory for details are much
more valuable than any power of analyz
ing the laws of thought. -
Nor is it satisfactory to say that men
do not argue with women because women
argue for victory, and not for truth. Wo
men are, in this respect, neither much
better nor much worse than men. Very
few people, either men or women, argue
With a pure desire to elucidate the truth,
and in a spirit of indifference to their own
personal success; becuase, in the first
place l an argument is not a process where
by ignorant people may become better In
formed ; and even if it were, in the
second pine, almost all people are carried
away in the heat of argument to forget
everything but the personal sense of com
petition, and the desire of victory which
that competition excites. And it is by
the light of this consideration that we
see the true reason why men decline to
argue with women. All argument is, ,in
fact, except in the case of a few iingular
ly well trained dispositions, a personal ,
strife, or combat. It is like a ganie of
chess between two moderate players, in
which the love of science is almost always
swallowed up by the desire to win. It is,
in fact, a duel. And any one who ,re
members that to all dueling it is essential
that the weapons and the laws of the com
bat be equal to both combatants, will see
at once why men cannot argue with wo
men. A man arguing With a woman is
at a fatal disadvantage. Neither the weap
ons nor the laws of combat are equal.
He fights with a- blunted; sword, or, a
blunderbuss ; she with IV \ double-edged
rapier, or an "arm of p ecision." He
must stand, but may not, liver, the fire
of personalities. Hem t not outatep
certain bounds, whereas her range is un
limited. He is strictly forbidden to deliver
certain effective thrusts, "shocks," as. she
calls them. He must not "shock her del
icacy—a very favorite restriction with
rather underbred women, and with Amer
ican ladies, He must not "shake her faith"
—a restriction npon which most women
require an argument upon any of the
most deeply interesting problems of the
day to be conducted. And she is to be the
umpire, or arbiter, whether he breaks any
of these restrictions. ' In short, argument,
even with an able woman, is a game the
law of which is "Heads, you win; tails,
I lose"—a game at which no sensible man
cares to play. .
James Romell Lowell
It is strange that when second-rate
rhymesters arerising into notoriety every
day, a poet like James Russell Lowell,
who breathes the true poetic spirit ir
resistibly and winningly in every line he
writes, should be all but unknown among
us. Those who do know Lowell's words
know that in his sweet singing there
'is to be foruid in a most eminent degree
that mysterious subtle power of calling
out and bringing together the sympathies
of man and nature which marks the true
poet and makes the reader almost a poet
himself so long as he is under the spell.
To my mind he is, without question, the
first living poet that writes English, and
yet if his name is ever heard in England,
it is but as that of a comic writer who has
helped Mr. Bright to some apt quotations
upon war and principles. The fact that he
is:an American cannot explain it; for Long
fellow, who is not to be compared with him
in any of the attributes of a poet, is an
American too, and his name is a house
hold word among us; but perhaps the fact
that he is American, not only in nation
ality, but in thought and tone, may have
something to do with it. He hates
slavery and privilege, is not very fond of
kings, priests or aristocracies, and enters
heart and soul into the experiment that is
being made in his own country to do
without them. But, above all, he hates
"war" and "glory," and he dealt them
many a severe blow in his so-called
humorous. but really most pathetic,
" iglow Papers," all showing that he has
tendencies and sympathies little appre
ciated in England. The poems in "Un
der the Willows" may, however, claim
readers from all and every side, and with
all of them they will leave a sweet
hum as a hushed instrument.— Vanity
Fair.
Never Raise a Child by the Hand or
IV Met.
It is a common practice of nurses and
parents to grasp children by a single
hand or wrist, and lift them bodily, as in
stepping over gutters, streams, &c Oc
casionally a child is seized by the hands
and swung around with great force, the
body being held nearly at right angles.
This teat is not always folloWed by imme
diate ill effects, but it is liable to result in
most serious injury. At this period of
life, the ends of the long bones are united
to the shafts by cartilage, :which renders
them weak and liable to be distorted by
force. These are three'of these bones in
the arm ; one between the shoulder and
elbow, and two between the elbow and
wrist. The arm of the child is, therefore,
very weak. When extension is made at
the hand, the force is not expended upon
long, firm bones, but rather upon bones
broken at several points, and very loosely
united. A small force, far less than is re
quired to break a fully formed bone, will
separate the cartilaginous tortions, or
permanently bend them. There is also
another form of injury which may occur
at the instant. Of this I have seen sev
eral examples. It consists In a slight dis
placement of the cartilages in one of the
joints, either the wrist or elbow, attended
pain, swelling, and tenderness. The
joint is fixed in a semi-flexed position,
and the little sufferer will hot allow it to
be moved or even handled, It can be
easily rectified by a, surgeon, by' forcible
flexion and extension., Finelly, by lifting
a child in this manner the ligaments about
the joints may be extended, and this will
weaken the joints, and this, weakness
may, remainu a permanent (livability.—
From the Ifote-book of an Eminent Phy
sician, in Hearth and Home.
Tan London lancet recites a 'fatal - ex
perittient in practice, recently made under
the auspices of that .most learned body,
the French Academy of Science. A pa
tient suffering from cholera having reach
ed the state of collapse ' a member of the
Academy, reasoning from the fact that
muscular contraction followed the exhi
bition of prussic acid, decided to try it
upon hlm. A dose was given with no
special effect. It 'was severa l times re
peated. Contraction did not mane, but
neither did the usual consequences of ap
plying poison. In a short time, muscu
lar contraction was resumed, and then,
to the astonishment of the physician, the
patient almost immediately •expired.
Clearly, he had been poisoned to death.
While'he was in collapse, the prosaic acid
vyas inactive as if it had been placed upon
a dead tissue; the moment circulation
commenced it was taken up, with the
usual result.

far SCHENCK'S - PIJLIKONIC
SYRL.r^,_ SEAWEED' TONIC AND
MANDRAKE PILLS will cure Consumptions ,
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, It taken accord
insr to directions.. They are all three to be taken
at the sometime. They cleanse the stomach, re
lax the liver and tint it:to work; then the appetite
becomes gooK; the food Algests and snakes good
blood; the patient begins to gTow in flesh; the
slummed master ripens into the lungs, and the
patient outgrows the disease and gets well. This
is the only way to cure consumption.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia: owes his unrivaled success in the
treatment of pulmonary Consumption. The Pul
monic Syrup ripens the morbid matter Id the
lungs,. nature throws It off by au easy expectora
tion, for when the phlegm or matter it ripe a
slight cough will throw it off, and the patient hos
rest and the lungs begin to heal.
T 9 do this, the Seaweed lonic and Mandrake
Pills must be tritely used to cleanse the stomach
and liver. so that the Pulmonlc Syrup and the
feed will make good blood.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver,
removing all obstructions. relax the ruins of the
gall bladder, the bile starts freely. and the liver
is soon relieved: the stools will show what the
Pills can do; nothing has ever been Invented ex
cept calomel (a deadly poison which is very dan
gerous to use un•ess with great care,) that will
unlock the gall bladder and start the secretions
of the liver like Scheuck'a Mandrake Pills.
Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent
2auses of Consumption.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative. and the alkali fn the Seaweed,
-which this preparation Is made 01, assists the
stomach to throw out the gastric juice to dissolve
the food with the Pura:onto Syrup, and it Is made
into good b ood without fermentation or souring
in the stomach •
The great reason why physic's's.s do not cure
Consumption is, they try to do tic, much; they
give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chllls.lo
stop night sweats, hectic fever and by so doing
they derange the whole digestive powers, lock
ing up the secretions, and eventually the patient
sinks and dies.
. . . .
Dr. Schenck, in his treatment, does not try to
stop a cough, night Sweats, chills or fever. -Re
move the cause and trey will all stop of their
own accord. )lo one can be cured of Consump
tion, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Catarrn,
Canker, Ulcerated Throat, unless the liver and
stomach are made healthy.
If a person nu consumption, of course the
tangs In some way are diseased, eitner tubercles,
'breams, bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion,
or the lungs are a mass of.inflammation and fast
decaying. In such cases what must be doneY It
is not only the lungs snat are wasting, but it is
the *hole body. The stomach and liver havelost
their power to make blood out of fo.d. Now tne
only chance is to tare Dr. Schenck's three medi
cines, which will bring up a tone to the stomach,
the patient will begin to want food, it will digest
easily and make good blood; then the patient be
gins to gain in flesh, and as soon as the body be
gins to grow, the lungs commence to heal np,
and the patictut gets de shy and well. This is the
only way to cure Consumption.
When there is no lung disease and only Liver
.Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenck's Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient, without
the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mans rake Pills
freely In ail billions complaints, as they are per
