RECLAIMING THE KANKAKEE.

The Chicago Tribune, of the 2ld of January, in speaking |ef the scbeaie 'or draihing and building a isilwav trough tighty miles es the Kauk*kee swamp, says: A meeting of preminent citizens <jf South Bead, LaPorte, and Valparaiso, Ind., was held yesterday afternoon at the Grand Pacific for the ourpese of forming a company to build a railroad from South Bend :o the Illinois State line, where it would iutersect the Indiana, Illinois k lowa Railroad. The distance i ibout eighty miles end the road is ntended ta follew as nearly as >ossible tho Valley cf the Kankakee tiver. Its name will be toe South Send & Kankakee Valley Railroad Company. The building of the rail--oad is however a secondary consideration. and is merely incidental .0 the digging of a ditch along the tame line, which is needed to drain he laads adjacent to the courso of the river. I’be expense of digg ug this ditch will fall upon the property aolders along its line, but as the -»arth removed in excavation will .’orm a railroad bed, thereby saving half the expense usually incurred n grading a railway, it was thoucrht * good scheme to form a company and build the road. Abou: 45.000 acres of land was represented at yesterday's meeting, which was prodded over by Mr. Clem Studebaker In o der to form such a company accnrding to the laws of Indiana it is necessary to have a capital stock of $50,000. Tw# thirds of that amount was voted on the spot and the rest will be raised at another meeting to be'held at South Bend next we#K. It is intended to make the capital stock of the road $1,600,000. Among these present were Clem Studebaker, jf South Bend; the Sea. Mordmer Nye, Mayor <»t Lapor e; Gee. Newall Gleason; William Niles. W*, Biddle, Edward Haw itins, Jame S. Long, and B. and V. Huncheon, all of Laperte; Arthur Reeves, of Richmond, Ind., V/illiam E. Pinney, of Valparaiso, lad-, and John A. Lomax, of Chicago. Notice of assignment —Notice is hereby given that William T. Perkins has made a general assignment of all his properly to mo In trust for tho benefit of all his bona fide creditors, tint I have accepted same trust, given the required bond, and that the same has been approved by the Court, this 17th day of January, a. d. 1884.

Public Politeness.

I was coming up town, and - fcered tha Btage in which five elegantly . -ssed and fine-looking women were sitl. 'on each side of it. They might be th lady patronesses of soma society. There was room for another person on each side, but not one of those women moved to make room for me, and I rode a mile or more, while these ten women—l do not say ladies—declined to give me a seat, as they could have done any moment without rising or crowding. The most of them were probably mothers. But as the instinct of mannerti—that is, of politeness, which is simply the law of kindness—wag not in the breast of one of the ten, what is to be expected of their children ? They capnot teach what they do not know, and, as they know nothing of politeness, their children will be boors.

Going to the omnibus again for a sample of manner*, I opened the door to step in, the other day, when a boy took advantage of my holding it open, jumped in and took the only vacant seat, tickled that he got the start of me and got the seat. This was young America all over. The great Athenian philosopher said that democracy has the fohndation in the principle that one man is as good as another, if not a little better. And many wise men have insisted that popular goverment tends to destroy reverence for superiors and deference to others, which are essential elements of refined manners. “In honor preferring one another,” is the inspired religion of politeness. It is not one of the highest virtues. It may be where there is no virtue. And I do, not say the politest nations are the strongest, nor that it is impossible to get money, and power, and all that, with the manners of a pig. The very trait of character which the “jpntleman who pays the rint ” exhibits when he puts his foot into the trough to keep others away while he eats, is the trait of many who succeed in getting much money. But there is a better way. And it is the way that has few walking in it, in this day of ours.

Making Flowers of Soap-Bubbles.

A pretty experiments has been described bv the well-known Belgian physicist, M. Plateau. He bends fine iron wire, so as to present the contour of a flower of six petals. The central ring to which the petals are attached is supported on a forking sb-- which is stuck in a piece of wood. After oxidizing the wire slightly with weak nitric acid the flower is dipped in glyceric liquid so as to r~ceive films in the petals and the centi; part. It is then turned up, placed on triable near a window and covered with :c bell jar. For a little at first it appears color) et j but soon a striking play of colors coi j menoes. In the experiment, M. Plater, describes, the flower continued showiu modifications of color for ten hours, when dusk stopped observation. Next morning several petals had burst. The liquid used was of very mediocre quality. M. Plateau recommends preparation of the liquid thus: . Dissolve a fresh piece of Marseilles Boap, cut up into small pieces, in forty parts by weight of ho* distilled water. Filler after , mix thoroughly three voluun-a of tho solution with two of Price's glycerine. The solution should be left at rest till all the air bubbles are gone. London Time*.

Oh,Myßack! That’s a common expression and has a world of meaning. How much suffering is summed up in it The singular thing about it is, that pain in the back is occasioned by so many things. May be caused by kidney disease, liver complaint, consumption, cold, rheumatism,dyspepsia,overwork, nervous debility, &c. Whatever the cause, don’t neglect it. Something is wrong and needs prompt attention. No medicine has yet been discovered that will so quickly and surely cure such diseases as Brown’s Iron Bitters, and it does this by commencing at the foundation, and making the blood pure and rich. Wm. P. Marshall, of Logansport, Indiana,writes: “ My w ife has for many years been troubled from pain in her back and general debility incident to her sex. She has taken one bottle of Brown’s Iron Bitters, and I can truthfully say that she has been so much benefited that she pronounces it the only remedy of many medicines she has tried.” Leading physicians and clergymen use and recommend Brown’s Iron Bitters. It has cured others suffering as you are, and it will cure you.

SOMEBODY’S MOTHER-IN-LAW.

A Tragedy la the Sltreeta of Faria, aad How tt tflkcM a Humorous- Hnckmaa. A Paris cabman was brought before the correctional tribunal charged with assault and battery. His aooount of the affair, given in all seriousness, is worth reproducing. "You see, this is how it oame about. I had had an-old lady in my carriage, driving her about for some four hours, and said Ito myself, ‘ I’m in for a good tip,’ for she wore jewelry and diamonds and all that. Well, and so at the oorner of rue Aboukir the old lady was getting out when—vlan ! up comes an omnibus, knocks her, down and kills my fare dead as a herring. I tell you, it’ll make you laugh.” J Tho Court—“lt is rather ludicrous, perhaps.” Jarvey—“ Not yet, but it will be by-and-by. Well, and so I jumped down; a crowd gathered and I gathered with it, and says Ito myself, * ihis is all very well, but who’s going to pay me for four hours?’ At that minute a gentleman comes running up (it’ll make you laugh) and looks at the corpse and cries : ‘ Great heavens, it’s my mother-in-law !’ and says I to myself, ‘That makes my four hours all safe,’ and so I told the gentleman that it was I who had been driving the old lady. All right; We put her into tlie carriage and took her homo, and I helped him to carry her up stairs, and then I hung round the room, for says 1 to myself, ‘ The son-in-law’ll settle with me, and as he comes in for the property he won’t be apt to beat me down.’ Well, and so be began to sav, ‘ How on earth am I going to break tins to my wife when she comes ki?’ and then 1 withdrew into the' ante-room, not wishing to intrude the subject of the fare on him at that moment. Just then in comes the servant-girl soreaming, ‘She’s coming !’—(it’ll m&ke you laugh)—and said I to myself, ‘ This is all very well, but if they'd pay me I’d just as soon go.’ Still I thought the time I waited would be charged for. And so then she comes in, his wife does, and when she sees the long faces she screams out, ‘What’s the matter? What’s tho matter? Oh, it’s ma! Where is she?’ Her husband says, ‘ Siie’s on the sofa in the sitting-room!’ and she runs in, and he follows her, and I follow him, and she—it’ll make you laugh !—she flops right down along side of the dead woman, and shrieks, * Why, it isn’t ma at all!’ If you bad pnjy seen her husband’s face—hef 1 didn’t come into the property—and mine—l was out my four hours. Naturally, because, as it wasn’t his mother-in-law, he didn’t owe me anything.” The Court—“ Well, if he didn’t owe you anything, why did you insist that ne should pay you ?” Jarvey—“Well, you see, I wanted him to pay me for the time after he put his falle mother-in-law in nly carriage, and for the time I had been waiting at his house. Thereupon he gets mad'and asks me who had told me to wait? Thereupon I tell him that I had been unwilling to ask him for my fare in his hour of bereavement. Thereupon he abuses me, and offers me thirty sous. Thereupon I ask him what he is giving me—besides, we charge more for a corpse than for a living passenger. Thereupon he says, ‘ What do I want of that body here ? Take it to the police station and I’ll give you forty sous.’ Thereupon I wouldn’t and so—” The Court instructed the prisoner that he should have cited the complainant before th ejuge de pair, and not to have struck him, and sent him to jail for three day*.

No Whiskey! i Brown’s Iron Bitters is one of the very few tonic medicines that are not composed mostly of alcohol or whiskey, thus becoming a fruitful source of intemperance by promoting a desire for rum. Brown’s Iron Bitters is guaranteed to be a nonintoxicating stimulant, and it will, in nearly every case, take the place of all liquor, and at the same time absolutely kill the desire for whiskey and other intoxicating beverages. Rev. G. W. Rice, editor of the American Christian Re- ' view, says of Brown’s Jroc Bitters: Cin., 0., Nov. 16, iSBi. Gents:—The foolish wasting of vital force in business, pleasure, and vicious indulgence of our people, makes your preparation a necessity; and if applied, will save hundreds who resort to saloons for temporary recuperation. Brown’s Iron Bitters has been thoroughly tested for dyspepsia, indigestion, bilio asness, weakness, debility, overwork, rheumatism, neuralgia, consumption, *ver complaints, kidney troubles, &c., and it never fails to render speedy and permanent relief
