AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. The New York Herald says that Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Devereux are still sojourning at Richfield Springs. There is quite a boom in local traffic at the Vandalia; and at two or three other depot platforms men are making over-time. E. B. Thomas, general manager of the Beeline, who has b.en in Now England for a couple of weeks, is expected home to-day. The earning of the Wabash, St. Louis A Pacific for the third week in August, 1884, were $415,477; 1883, $387,477; increase $28,000. The Mann boudoir cars will be introduced in a few days on the Wabash road between Chicago and St Louis, and Chicago and Kansas City.' A. Johnson, commercial agent of the Missouri Pacific road at Chicago, has resigned to accept a similar position with the Wabash road, with headquarters in Boston, Mass. In southeastern Ohio the roads are troubled to get water for their locomotives. The Ohio Southern road is taking water pumped from the coal mines to supply their engines. Auditor Rockwell, of the C., H. A I). road, occupies the third story in the new office building of the company at Cincinnati, and claims to have the best suite of auditors’ offices in the West S. H. Yancy has been appointed Cincinnati passenger agent of the Wabash system, and it is understood that Tom Campbell, of the Ohio & Misssissippi, will represent the Wabash at Columbus.

Thomas G. O. Beard, for two years past with Joint Agent T. C. Moore, at Chicago, arrived in the city last evening, and aas decided to acoept a position with M. L. Doherty, joiut agent at this point. Mr. Beard's local experience will be of service to Mr. Doherty. H. S. Julier, of Cleveland, general superintendent of the American Express Company, spent yesterday in the city, looking matters over. He speaks of the Indiana division and the Indianapolis office as being one of the best managed in the American Express Company’s territory. In anticipation of heavy crops and increased activity .of general trade, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company is getting its equipment in condition for a large business during the fall. The coal cars are being made of the standard capacity of 50,000 pounds each, an increase of 10, - 000 pounds, and the whole freight service is undergoing repairs. Notice is given by the Chicago, St. Louis & Pittsburg road that until further notice it cannot receive or forward any freight for points on or reached by the Chicago & Great Southern road via Goodland, Ind. Col. Crawford seems to be troubled to lift the strike. It has often boon said that it is more difficult to adjust a strike on a short road than cm a large system. It seems to he settled that Russell Elliott, auditor of the Chicago & Atlantic road, and his colony of Indianapolitans are to be left ont in the cold. Fred Biroughton, general manager of the Chieago & Atlantic road, being anxious, it is said, to hand the auditorship of the company over to P. Reese, an Englishman who was at one time auditor of the Illinois Midland road. Don't be surprised should H. J. Page, general freight agent of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St Louis & Chicago road, on Oct 1 retire, aud A. B. Southard, late traffic manager of the L., N. A. ■A C., assume the duties of the position. Mr. Page has done some twenty years of faithful valuable service for the Big Four, and is in shape financially to permit of his taking a rest C. E. Henderson, general manager of the 1., B. & W. system, returned yesterday from a Western business and pleasure trip combined. While absent he visited Kansas City. Mr. Henderson states that the Kansas roads are all doing an excellent business. Crops on most of those roads were immense, and the same remark applies to most of Missouri and a portion-of Illinois and Indiana.

The Wabash road has opened a freight agency at Carrier Mills, ILL, on the Cairo division, with D. W. Harris as agent. Freight for this point need no longer be prepaid. Freight agencies have also been established at the following points: Patton, 111., on Cairo division, with J. Buchanan as agent; Westville, 111., also on Cairo -division, with Henry Cotton as agent; Troy, lnd., -on Detroit and Indianapolis division, with Geo. Reese as agent The Indiana, Bloomington & Western road yesterday took ont of Indianapolis the largest excursion tram for Niagara Falls which ever went out of Indianapolis. The train was run in two sections, a baggage car, dining car and fourteen coaches to each section, all of which were well filled. The day coaches, parlor cars and sleeping cars were all first-class rolling stock, and belonged to the I, B. & W. company. Coal traffic over the Terre Haute & Indianapolis road will increase next week thirty to thirtyfive cars per day, as Drew & Wasson expect to get toe Gartsherrie cherry mines cleared of water. These mines cover nearly. 100 acres, and the water in them reached a depth of twelve feet while Uie strike in the block coal region was on. Drew & Wasson purchased of a Chicago establishment an engine (14x20-inch cylinder) to join with a smaller engine (10x20-inch cylinder) to operate their big pump, which throws 2,600 gallons of water per minute. These engines failed to operate the pump satisfactorily. Both were taken out and a 14x2Q-inch cylinder, Chandler & Taylor patent engine substituted. This engine gives perfect satisfaction and is running day and night, lowering the water in toe mines one-half inch per hour.

English Roads Under a Cloud. English, as well as American roads, are experiencing hard sledding, as the expression goes. The chief cause has been the depression of trade, and the reality of that depression is shown by the circumstance that it is the freight rather than the passenger lines which have had to complain of diminished earnings. The principal sufferers have been the Northeastern, the London & Northwestern, the Midland, the Great Western and the Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire; and one and all ascribe the result to bad trade. A closer examination of the statistics shows that the trouble is further complicated there as in this country, by the erroneous policy of enlarging the stock and bond totals, and thus increasing the fixed charges. The London & Northwestern company, for instance, now has to pay dividends or interest on about £1,500,000 more capital than it had at the middle of last year. In point of fact, that oompany—the largest and one of the best managed in the kingdom—needed to earn in the six months just closed about £50,000 mere than it had earned in the corresponding half year in order to pay the same dividend to its ordinary shareholders. But instead of earning more, it netted £BO,OOO less, and thus the stockholders were about £130,000 worse off than they had been twelve months before, and their dividend had to be reduced in proportion.

Another Passenger-Rate War In Prospect. It is said that the roads in the Chicago & Ohio Eiver pool, which compete for travel to Ohio river points are uneasy because the C., L, St. L. & C. is carrying too large a per cent of the travol, and the Inte'r Ocean says: “There is a good prospect that the peace and quietness that has been binding the rather contrarily-minded factions in the Ohio River passenger pool for some months past will soon be disturbed and broken, to result in another onslaught upon passenger rates from Chicago to all Ohio river points. Commissioner Richardson, who is now in New England, had bettor be working homeward. Secretary Hand, of the C. &O. pool, last evening received a telegram from General Passenger Agent Hill, of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, saying that the misunderstandings have been adjusted, and the dogs of war have been called off. Is the 1., B. & W. Cutting Rates? As usual, when a road secures a little freight the question is raised, is the Indianapolis, Bloomington £ Western cutting grain rates! On the east-bound business the pool statistics show that on Aug. 23 the 1., B. &W. forwarded from Indianapolis proper twelve car-loads of grain; the Bee-line one car-load; the 0., St L. &P. one tar load; the 0., 1., St L. & C. two car-loads; *

the L., N. A. &C. Air-linel four ear-loads; the Wabash andC., H. AI. none. Aug. 23 the L, B. AW. forwarded from Indianapolis proper fifteen car-loads; the Bee-line none; the C. St. L. A P. three car-loads; the C., L, St. L. A C. twelve car-loads; the L., N. A. & C., Air-line none, the Wabash three car-loads, C., H. &D. one car-load. August 25. the 1., B. & W. forwarded twenty-two car-loads, the Bee-line four car-loads, the C., St. L. A P. one oar-load, the C.,1., St L. & C. three car-loads, L., N. A. & C., Air-line, eight carloads, the Wabash none, C., H. A I. two carloads. From the above statement it will' be seen that the seven roads in the three days noted, forwarded from Indianapolis proper nine-ty-four car-loads of grain. Os that numeber the 1., B. A W. hauled out forty-nine car-loads. Helping the Farmers Out. Low prices for grain at Chicago, Minneapolis and Duluth have been staring the Northwestern farmer closely in the face. No prospect of a material advance in the near future can be discerned, and the wheat-growers of the Northwest have decided to accept the moderate rates now offered at the leading markets. In view of this decision, the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba recently made a reduction in freight charges. This example has been followed by the Northern Pacific, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, and the Hastings A Dakota. On toe Manitoba line the reductions range from one to three cents per bushel. It is estimated that on the St. Paul, Minneapolis & .Manitoba and Northern Pacific toe lowering of charges means a saving of $375,000 to the farmers. This action on the part of the railroads was voluntarily, and is regarded with gratitude by the intelligent citizens of the Northwest. August Earnings Disappointing. The showing for August, so far as it is received, is comparatively worse than for any other period in the year. Thirty-throe roads, in spite of a large increase of mileage, a much larger increase in fixed charges, and heavier operating expenses, show a loss of over $200,000. The cool summer has been like a frost upon passenger traffic, until the railroad companies seem determined to make people travel, if possible, by wholesale reductions of rates, regardless of pools or regular tariffs. An open passenger war is not only possible, but more probable than ever, and a truce, much less lasting peace, will hardly be reached for many months to come. The only hope now seems to be that September will bring in a heavier freight traffic, and that when all the roads are comfortably busy freight rates will bo better maintained. However, the talk that freight rates are now seriously demoralized lacks foundation; hut the tonnage of August has not been as heavy as had been anticipated.

Two More Roads Throw Off the Fast-Freight Lines. General freight agents of the Indianapolis roads have received circulars to the effect that “The Eastern and Boston A Maine railroads, having decided to withdraw from all fast-freight lines, give notice that on and after Sept. 1, 1884, they wiU decline to accept os heretofore the pro-rata proportion of through rates. Consequently, on and after that date all points on or via either of the above named roads must be withdrawn from Boston rates, both east and west-bound. Bill all freights for their points to Boston at an arbitrary rate of five (5) cents per 100 pounds to all points between Boston and Portland. Shipments for which bills of lading have been given and properly billed out prior to Sept. 1 will be protected." Prosperous Roads. While talk of depression in railroad business is so common, it is encouraging to turn one’s attention to the heavy traffic of the Nortowestern and Western Tines, which connect at Chicago. Their deliveries of floor, grain and live stock last week, as compared with the corresponding time in the preceding three years, shows: 1884. 1883. 1882. 1881. Total groin, bn...4,704,000 3,991,000 2,936,000 4,602,000 Hogs, N0..„ -77,210 57,233 54,597 103,069 Cattle, No 39,172 38,891 33,172 34,929 It will be seen by the above that the current year’s business in grain and cattle exceeded either of the preceding years named. Will There Bea Trunk-Line Rate War? A high official on the New York Central road is quoted as saying that their road has been preparing for a rate war for some months, and is now ready to take the field. On the other hand Commissioner Fink is credited with saying that the cutting of passenger rates may possibly continue until next month, by which time the roads -will find ont that rate-cutting does not pay. Meanwhile the pool of freight rates will bo continued. Miscellaneous Notes. Charles S. Tappan, general manager of the Nickel-plate line, has issued toe following notice: “On and after Sept 6, 1884, billing arrangements with toe Canadian Pacific railway, via this line, will cease. Montreal and Ottawa divisions will therefore be void from that date.” The Southern Pacific system will in a short time establish anew double daily service, running sleepers through from Denison, Dallas aud San Antonio, to New Orleans without change, and connect there with all the principal lines for toe East

Under the new arrangement thß Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe secures a through line via rite A. & P. and Southern Pacific to San Francisco, the distance from Kansas City to the latter point being 2,099 miles, or just about the same as by the Union and Central Pacifies. The distance from New Orleans to San Francisco via the Southern Pacific route is 2,495 miles. The Grand Trnnk has, up to this time, refused to accept its percentage as allotted by the arbitrators of the pool, and, by this action, has practically disrupted the pool. The New York Central seems to be fighting its rival, West Shore, to the death, and seems now to be encouraging a general warfare. It is difficult to see how railroads can prosper under such a state of affairs. The Boston & Albany put on their new dining cars Sept. 20. General Passenger Agent Gallup, who is a Western-educated railroad man, has engaged Colonel W. D. Mann, well-known as the patentee of the Mann boudoir cars, to manage the “palace dining car line.” The contract with him calls for table furnishings of the best and mostcostly description, and food which, in cooking and servicei, shall be equal to any hptel menu in New York or Boston. Meals will be served on the American plan, but the price has not been fixed. The cars will run between Worcester and New Haven, each making a round trip daily on through express trains, furnishing dinner on one train and supper on the return.

Marriage for Six Shillings. Tall Mall Gazette. The future, Professor Seeley reminds us, is all with the large states, and some enterprising people in Berlin have just devised a patriotic scheme for “increasing the Gorman race.” A “marriage chamber” has been instituted to “facilitate acquaintance between persons of both sexes with a view to wedlock,” and “without regard to position, fortune, age or faith.” If the acquaintance leads to marriage, both parties have to engage to pay to the chamber I per cent, of their annual income. "Parties will do well," the circular adds, “to examine seriously if they possess those qualities that make marriage desirable.” The fee demanded by the chamber is strictly moderate—6s. for Beriinese and 9s for provincials; and if the first acquaintance leads to no result, clients may try again without extra charge. Decidedly, the Germans are a practical people. Tle Drunkard's Hard Time. Chicago -Cmrrent. No one can have failed to observe that the drunkard has a harder time these days than ho had fifteen years ago. Then it was almost a sign of genius for a man to be missing from his post once a week on account of liquor. Now it is a sign that his employer is not attending to business. The drunkard wrill be discharged ns soon as the facts shall become known. This is a healthful and remarkable change of general opinion. Don’t hawk, hawk, and blow, blow, disgusting everybody, but use Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.

New York Times. Twenty-six English actors and actresses who have never seen America before, and are not quite certain whether they will see it again, were lauded on the hospitable Guion pier by the good ship Alaska yesterday. The wore all the colors proverbially ascribed to the rainbow in judicious combination. The ladies had diamond ear-rings and gold necklaces and leekets, while the gentlemen scintillated in the regie as of the cravat with all the gems as yet discovered. The appearance of the company was undoubtedly striking. Their tones had a strong Whitechapel sound about them, and the number of h’s that were dropped on the pier would have made the fortune of many a compositor if the ladies aud gentlemen had not picked them up again and tacked them on where they were not wanted. The collection was known as “Moore A Holmes’s British Stars." otherwise “The Royal Tars English Burlesqe Opera Troupe,” whe are to take the New Park Theatre by storm Sept. ‘8 next “I’m Mine. Blanche," said a pert little girl, with a very pronunced crinolette and a slight hioeup, “and I’m a tight rope singer. I assure you that I’m quite famous in Pans. I’ve played m all the tingle-dingles there.” The young lady’s appearance bore sufficient testimony to this fact. “I’d love you to see a harticie published in one of the Paris papers about me,” she went on. “Its ’arf yard long (she measured its length with her hands), and better than anything Patti ever had written about her. Oh, do toll me a New York paper which would translate and publish it for me. Every word *s worth —well, I don’t know what, but it’s worth it ’Arf a yard long, and don’t say I didn't tell you.” Then a pretty little lady came up, smiling and chattering, and informing everybody that she had danced and sung at the Canterbury, the' Oxford, the Pavilion (known to the cockney as the “Pav"), and every other music hall in the metropolis. She introduced Mr. George Moore, who is famous as being toe son of toe redoubtable Pony, aud Miss Rosa, the ventriloquist, to say nothing of Pat Feeney and his better half, who could hardly be seen for diamonds. “Never seen this oountry before,” said Mr. Feeney, who might reasonably be suspected of Hibernian extraction. “Dash me wig it it looks as though I’d see it now. This custom-house is awful.” “How much does lager cost a glass in America?” inquired Mr. Egerton, leaving his wife and coming up. “Five cents,” he was told.

"Bless my hize!” he exclaimed, “ttrppenoeba’p'ny is awfully cheap. Here, Mr. Holmes,” he said, addressing his manager, “suppose you give me American money for these two sixpenny bits, and TCI go and investigate.” “Now,” said Mr. Holmes, solemnly, “you see my company before you. Blessed ts I don’t think it’ll take. I lived for four months in America and never seen anything like it We open in the ‘Corsican Brothers A Company, Limited,’ a burlesque on toe original play, of course. This ’ere gentleman,” pointing to a member of the company, “takes toe principal part of Madame Somebody, from Cork-sica. Please notice the pun: the play is full of similar pleasing jests. Well, in the principal scene, which was origi nally laid ia the Grand Opera-house,Paris,and is changed by us to the Marbeel, I introduce all my variety actors and actresses—Rosa, toe ventriloquist; Blanche, the tight-Tope dancer, and *ll the others. One of them is a life imitation of Irving.” “Was your pieee produced in London?" “Well, ’pon my seul, you ask me that question!” he exclaimed in a grieved tone. “Why, when Irving played ‘The -Corsican Brothers' at the Lyceum, ’Oilings’ed put on ‘The Corsican Brothers and Company, Limited,’ at the Gaiety. Did it take? Well, don’t ask me anything so childish. My boy, it made a big hit, and don’t yon forget it. We've brought all our costumes and effects of every description. I forgot to say we're under the auspices of toe Kiralfys, and. shall make a tour of the country.” Just then another member of too company came up and asked if it was customary in America to give the man who manipulated the trunks “’arf a sov.” “Can’t be expected to know," he said, apologetically; “its all so wonderfully strange.” Women’s Work on the Farm. Correspondence New .England Farmer.

To the charge that we consider onr own convenience and ease to the exclusion of the ease of the female members of our families, many of us must plead guilty; and the number of self-con-fessed culprits will steadily increase, proportionally, as we go westward. On many farms and about many barns we will find all labor-saving appliances and machines, but when we go to the house and yard we find work done in the old way, with primitive utensils. Water is drawn from the well by the old sweep, and carried a considerable distance through mud or dust, as the case may be to the kitchen, reached by one or more trying steps; there is no cistern, woodshed or summer kitchen; no screens at the windows and doors; the washing is done on the old zinc-board, and the clothes are wrung dry by “elbow grease;” the cellar is reached only by an outside door, if there is a cellar at all; in short, there is a lack of conveniences everywhere. Here woman's work is clearly harder than man's. The young couple had begun life together with limited means, but resolved to make a home for their old age at the -expense of labor and self-denial while young and strong. Both worked hard. There were tow labor-sav-

ing appliances ahont the farm and barn, and fewer yet about the house. The debt each year was lessened, and better -tools and implements were bought for the farm, but someway none for the house. Anew pump was put in the well at the barn, but none in the well at the house; better plows and harrows were bought, hut there was no money to buy a clothes-wringer; the farmer rejoiced in anew grain drill, but yet the chief implement his wife had to use in the garden was a rusty hoe that no one on the farm would use; the reaper was bought before the sewing machine. Thus the years have passed; the wife has toiled on without complaint; it would have been better if she had complained; -for in nine cases out of ten’ the indifference of the husband, apparently heartless, 13 selfish blindness, that a sharp request from the Wife whom he has not ceased to love would dispel, and bring him back to the helpful, kindlier disposition of earlier days. If this should fall beneath tlie eye of such a husband and father, I would urge him in the name of all that is most sacred of earthly ties | and affections to provide those household con-

veniences which cost but little money, and would bring hack the old light to the eye and the old color to the cheek. It will not cost much to put an easy pump in the well, and to make a cistern the kitchen door; to build a wood-house and fill it; to buy a washer and wringer; to put screens in the doors and windows; to build a summer kitchen, and buy an oil stove for it, and the dimes thus spent will rSturn as -dollars; they will save doctor's bills, prescriptions, shrouds and coffins.

We think you of the East will have a great many more, and a great many harder ones and more destructive. Applying Fertilizers at Intervals. Philadelphia Record. The advantage of applying fertilizers at stated intervals instead of making a single application t toe time of sowing seed cannot be gainsaid. If the fertilizer is applied attar the land is plowed, and no after application be made, the crop not only is put to greater exertion to derive plant food, but the natural result wi>l be that not only will the rain dissolve ami carry it off. hut many of the substances are either dispelled in the atmosphere or become, by chemical action, partly inert. The plant will thrive better when fed on small quantities less frequently. There is similarity in that respect betwean a plant and an animal that is surfeited at times and sparingly fed at others. The food must always be within easy access, instead of gradually diminishing as the plant advances ingrowth. In some experiments made with corn, using guano at the rate of 200 pounds per acre, in connection with the same quantity of superphosphate and kainit, a farmer last season fertilized his corn, for comparison, by two different methods. On one sere he applied the mixed fertilizer at the time of putting in the seed. On the other plot he applied one-third at toe time of seeding, one-third when the crop was about -three fget in bight and the ether third after toe corn bad begun to tassel. After each application, except the last, the cultivator was used between toe rows, toe corn having been planted wide enough to admit of good cultivation both ways. But little difference in growth was observed at first, though the field which had received the three applications gave a greener tinge when the corn was about to tassel. It also filled out bettor, grew taller, gave a larger proportion of fodder and yielded 20 per cent more corn. Experiments have also been tried with fertilizers on oats in somewhat the same manner. A Georgia farmer reports to the .Southern Culii vator that he used 150 pounds of guano on three separate plots, each one receiving that quantity. On the first plot he uses ah the guano at once, before sowing toe seed. On toe second plot he used one-half the quantity at the time of seeding, and one-half at the time the oats were shooting. On the third plot he used one-third the quantity at seeding-time, one third at the time of shooting, and one-third when the oats were in blossom. The weight of the sheaves on toe first plot was 100 pounds, ou toe second 147, and on toe third 168. Qn a trial on rich and poor soils the advantage was largely in favnr effertilizing poor sous at intervals. Experiments were then made on two other plats with homemade compost, and the result was equally in favor of the application of the compost at different periods. As the above experiments were made in two different sections, they are more valuable than may be supposed. If we can increase the yield qf crops by gradually feeding them instead of putting in a large quantity only at the time f seeding, the quantity of fertilizer may be lessened in order to get only toe average yield, but as that course -would be of no advantage, the full allowance may be used, relying upon the increased yield as compensation for the extra labor required, which, however, is not great We commend the experiments and trust that during the next season our readers will experiment in this direction, as from our own observe tions and the tests made by others we believe satisfactory and valuable information may be acquired.

He Was Op on Sinners. Boston Globe. “My dear bey,” said an earnest Sunday-school teacher at the North-end Mission tea frowsy urchin, “do you know that we are aUshmersf ‘‘Yes, maTra." “Do you know that yon are a sinner?” “Yes. marm." A Iqqg and earnest talk fallowed, in which toe claims or the gospel were fully set forth, but the teacher was only rewarded by an unintelligible stare. Finally, it occurred te the teacher that perhaps she had taken the boy beyond his depth, and she inquired: “John, you know what a sinner is, don’t you?" “Sinners? Oh, yea; sinuer* is strings in turkeys’legs.”

The Pulpit and Politic*. Philadelphia Press. A contemporary proceeds te inquire, wkat is the pulpit’s relation te polities? It depends on the man behind toe pulpit.
