It is UDt'ersto.i tht tha Part -Handle folks will pnt a through car oa their new Cleveland route in a few day. Oja change of cars is neceesiry at present. New Orleans travel will bes;in In earnest rut week, according to Traveling I'asaener Aper.ti. All of the local ollicrs are receivir k innatLerahle inquiries relative to rates. Ministers desiring half-fare permits over the Loniaville, New Albauy and Chi'Mjro lit ad, ran procure the fame bycillln; at the clli e of Major Eaimett, District I'3;engr Agent. Colonel Jonn Le, rre3uI?ntof tha Cievpland, Indiana and St. Loais, who, by the way, has superintended the building ol more railrcada than any other nun in Indiana, announces that he fcas sold the bond of tfce C, I and t. L. to a syndicate of English capitalists. The General Pacener Asrent of the Indianapolis and L jqIs lioad has notified foreign lines that in apDortioning through rates to or via .t. Louis, divided on a mileage basis, they will allow the Land St. L. Hallway the following arbitraries on account of St. Louis bridge, viz: Seventy-five renta Cr&tclfsa. fcltycen's second cla3s and imDiirant, and one dollar round trip. It was stated in the Sentinel some days since that a rumor was alloat to the eiuct that C. C. Gale, Reformer Superintendent of the Indianapolis Division of the Bsa Line, would accept a lucrative position with the l.ako Shore. The iafcrmation cornea from Cleveland that the rumor wa without truth, lir. Gale preferrinz to etick to his farn rather than go into the railroad business again. A local freight aent g'veg it a? his opinion that live stock basinesj will b? much heavitr this year than it was 1SS I while there will be a Elipnt falling ofTin other c.'af-sea of Iratlic. It is certain Mat the ship iucnU of cattle and hsnas troai the WoU ara increasing every day, and as rte are well maintained it in just possible that th railxcaJs are deriving a considerable profit from this class of business. It was thought that 'ere this time the Superintendents of the various Indianapolis reads would decide whether or not to accept the propesition of the Union Comnany to do all the local switching, but it begins to loDk as if they intend to let this question eey reJy alone, for they have held no meeting to fake action relative thereto for some time. It i believed tbat the majority of the roads favor the acceptance of tne proposition. A large number of the- t p yes of the Loui9Vil.e and Evansville Air Line, at New Albany, are anxious to know what the effect of the road being placed in the hands of a receiver will produce in regard to their backpar. They haye not been paid for three ii o -ths. It is understood, however, that the claiii iof the employes will b$ recognizsd first, and if they continue in the employ of the company, they will b paid at the end of every month, in the event that the earnings of the road will permit it. Of the schemes proposed for the reorgni7aticn of the Ohio Central, the one championed by the committee of which W. J. Canada is Chairman, is likely to succeed, ßy its first mortgage bonds of V000,000, pre ferred stock of ? 1,7-0,000 and common stock of ?7,250.000 are to be issued. Holders of picsent iirst mortgage pay 3 per bond and getan equal amount of new first mortgage bonds, with a bonus of preferred stock equal to 20 per cent, of their holdings. Holders 6f present second mortgage bonds pay in 5 per cent, and receive an equal amount in new preferred stock. Holders of common atock pay in 1 per cent, and receive new common stock for 30 per cent, thereof. In n debate in the House of Representatives, Mr. Abram Hewitt, of New York, said that while pooling might be aa evil, thera w re many evils which were remedies for other greater evils. The evila poolings were intended to remedy, and which had become intolerable, were the evila of unlimited competition. Larg3 business houses had been compelled to employ clerks whose sole basinets it was to go from railroad office to railroad otlic and make bargains. More than that, the companies themselves, which were intended to be common carriers, found themtelvts nduced to the position of petty hucksters, who were compelled to have an army of clerks to regulate the freight on every invoice of freight ihipped over their lines. This evil wa3 so enormous that it led to the only practicable remedy, which was poolin?. Tooling, if honestly conducted, gave stability in rates and equal terras to every customer, and carried out the principle of equal rights to all. The rates between Chicag'o and St. Louis, which were advanced so suddenly two weeks ago, will not, it seems, bö lowered for an indeuuite period yet. It mar be remembered that the causa for advancing these rates was the outcry raised by shippers at tfpringtleld other interior points of Illinois of discrimination in freight rates atainst them in favor of Chicago and .t. Louis. This cutcry became so great that the IUilrcad and Warehouse Commissioners of Illinois took the subject up and summoned the representatives of tne Chicago and Loots jfads to appear before them. Takln? time by the forelock, the?o representatives met and raised all rates through Illinois to the chedale given them by the Railroad Com-mii-jicners, which was so much greater than t te rates then prevailing tbat when they weie announced they quite took the ebippers' breath away. Consequently, when the meeting of Railroad Corumiftioners was held this week little could t said by them or by the shippers with rp:trd to discrimination in rates against interior points. The discussion rl" this point by Rbippers and railroad men was quite long, and ended in an nudcrstandirg by the hippers that there was no Intention on the part of the roads to discriminate aeainst them and no desire to. Mr. James Smith, Tralllc Manager of the Wabaih, told them that if rates were made in their favor that complaints would be heard from the shippers cf Jacksonville and other points throughout the State; that the road w.h not xrakiDg mere than enough to rav Its inN tercst now, and that if Springfield was given the same proportion of rates given to Chicago and St. Louis the road would not mat. noughto pay its employes. He explained hov," a road looked to its local busines for uprort, and how profitless pro-ratine from ixh cilli M sprinshcld would b?. Tue f r- 1

gnment appeared to thoroughly satisfy thi shippers, who were gi?eu permission to su$gst any better arrangmeat in the ma'i-jr of rates than that the rjada no v operate under. COUHT-IIOLSE LOCALS.

The coupla'nt sajs that inesmuch as John is not able nor fit to have the care cf the children, and inasmuch as Carrie is both able and fit to take them and care for them she asks for a decree to conform to the eternal fitness of things as above set forth. Carrie is ownr of the grocery at L'l North Mississippi street. She says that as a judgment against John would be but a burden on the court records and of no earthly use, she does not want it. The Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Company yesterday filed suit for restraining order and injunction against the Central Union Telephone Company. The complaint alleges that it is imcorported under the lavs of Maryland, the defendant under the laws of this tate and the Western Union Telegraph Company under the laws of New York. Since the plaintiiT has put up its lines and established its ofiice here it has entered into competition with the Western Union, which company uses the telephonic instruments and wires of the defendant for the purpose ot receiving the business lo be transacted over its wires. The plaintiff applied for an instrument for the same purpose, and offered to pay In advance for its use, but it was L.-.sed. It h charged thst the defendant by this course is favoring tfce Western Union and injuring the plaintitrs business. The complaint intimates that there is no disposition to sue the defendant for damages in each ca-e where it has failed to lecure business because it had not the use of the defendant's wires and instruments, for the reason that the suits would be numerous, and would causa endless litigation and pile up costs. For this reason the Court is asked to compel defendant to rent the use of its wires and instruments to plaintiiT, so that it may have an equal chance with the Western Union, its great competitor.

J Many years ago there was a meeting of tr.e General Assembly o the l'resbterian Church iu th-? - ity of Bilti;nore. An:o:ig tLe clergy in attendanca was a yoa-fi: dominie, but recently ordained, wisos manners and personal quihties wroagit havoc among the marriageable sisters whose pitty or curiosity h?.d led them to attend the deliberations of the pundit. O! those who, in this solemn conclave, found the opportunities of measuring the qultie3of tha divine was a certain Miss A , whose heart and 1 and having already beea pledged and so in a manner fitted by experience and by symrathy ct judging the wants ot the unoccupied human ailection, saw in this s3tne young clergyman a moss fitting mate for her younger sister, for whom as yet "no man had spobtn." Returning to ber homo at the close of the first session of the Asr-embly she revealed to her-fister the discovery she had m-ide, insisting that she hid found the man Providence ordained to make that sister Anale happy, and that sht (Annie) should attend the following meeting and thus place herself in a providential line for carrying out the preordained plans. Miss A , in no wise loth to see the man thus ardently described, amused by the anxious care and wise provision of the elder sister, was rc.idy to act. Rut here an insuperable obstacle interposed. The world had not been prolific in its bounties to this family, and Miss A s explorations revealed that her wardrobe did not contain a pair of boots or shoes in which she could venture to tread the streets. Nor did her sister's contain a duplicate. In fact, there was put a single pair between them. So for a time it eeemed that all there providential plannings were to be broueht to naught for want of a pir of shoes. The elder sister removed the objtacle by removing the cevering of herosrn feet to invest tuos9 of the younger, and sent her on her minion. Meantime He who weaves the warp of life had not been idlo in rentov ing threads among the warp of th8 young man'ahoTe3. His eyes, sometimes wandering, canght Hashes from other eyes that spoke muttered thoughts, and amcftg the pious emotions due such a holy assemblage were mingled strange thoushta and themes. So destiny wronght, bringing then and there thee two lives nearer and nearer together. Then an acquaintance was forme L ripening soon into love, and two hands and lives were joined, that through years of joy and sunshine, years of cloud3 and sorrow, ever feept bright and pure and noble that blessed the world with preachings and practices of the gospel of love that gave to thewcrld children that should perpetuate their gcod works and deeds, whom the world should delight to honor, and one, a son a man of destiny who, on the Uh of March, shall tske his seat as President of the United states. Snppoo W Had No Sugar. ICornhill Magazine.l j Resides the natnral sweet9, we hve Uken ! to producingartiiicialones. Has any hoase- ! wife ever realized Hie alarming condition of I cookery iu the benighted generations before the invention of sugar? It is re&lly almost too appalling to think about. So many things that we now look upon a3 all but nfcosarifs cakes, puddings, made dishes, confectionery, precerve?, sweet biscuits, jeilit?, ccckel fruit?, tarts, etc. wero then practically quite impossible. Fancy attempting now adays to live a single day without sngar; no tea. no codee, uo jim, no cake, no sweet?, no hot toddy before one g:ej to bed; the bare idea of it is tco terrible. And yet that was really the abject condition of all civilied world up to the middle of the Middle Aces. Horace's punch w?s sugarless and lemoalesj; . I. I X : : 1 . il ; . liivueiiin! iru lifter iicu iLiy tuuLcuiS' ; cup of afternoon tea; and Socrates went I from his cradle to his grave without ever J knowing the :.avor of peppermint bull seyes. How the children managed to spend their Saturdays, or their weekly obo'.us, is a profound mystery. To be sure, people had honey ; but honey is rare, dear and scanty; it can never have filled oue-quarter the place that suc:ar fills in our modern auctions. Try for a moment to realize drink-in-Tbcr.ey with one's whisky and water, or dcing the year's preserving with a pDt of be-t Narborine. and you get at once a common measure of the difiereuce between the Uo as practical sweelenera. Nowadays we ?et sucar from cane and beetroot in abundance, while sugar maple and palm trtes of various sorts atford a considerable supply to remoter countries. Bat the childhood of the little Creek and Ro

mans must have been absolutely unlUhtel by a single rav of joy from cho:o!ate crsaois of Kverton coffee. The consequence of excessive production of sweets in modern times is, of course, that we have began to distrust the indications afforded us by the sense of tasta in this particular as to the wholeEoraness of various objects. We can mix sugar with anything we lite, whethar it had sugar in it to begin with or otherwise, and by sweetening and flavoring we can gi ve a false palatableness to even the worst and most indigestible rubSish, such as plaster of parts, lanrelv sold un

der the name ef sugared almonds to th-s intenuous youth of two hemispheres. But in untouched nature the test rarely cr never fails. As long as fruits aro unripe and uudt for human food they ere green and iour; as soon as they become sott and sweet, aui usually acquire some bright color as a sort cf advertisencect cf edibihy. Ia the main, par the accidents cf civilization, what ever U sweet is good to eat nay more, 13 meint to be eaten; it is only our perverss fol y tbat makes us sometimes think all thing'i fc&d for us, and all wholesome things nuty. Ina state of natcre the exact opposite is leally the case. One may observe, too, toat children, who are literally young savages in more senses than one, stand nearer ihe primitive feeling in this respect thin grown up people. They unallectedly like sweets; adults who have grown more a custon.ed to the artificial meat diet don't, a a rule, care much for pudding, cakes and made dishes. (May I venture parenthetic ally to add, any appearance to the contrary notwithstanding, that 1 am not a vegetarian, and I am far from desiring to bring cowa upon my devoted head the imprecation pr..nouncc'i egatnst the rash perron who would rob a poor man cf his betr. It i3 quite possible to believe that vegetarianism ws the starting point cf the rac, without wuhins to consider it also as tha goal, jint ai it is qnite possible to regrd cl othe3 purely as artificial products o! civilization, without desiring personally to return to tho charming simplicity of the Garden of Kien.) ;ough tli Victim of 'One of Artemas Ward' Practical Joke. H'.loomiDgton F.ye.1 Show the gentlemen up," s.iid Mr. Oough, and a pleasant introduction followed, after which Artemu3 Ward said: "Mr. Gouh, I am cbüperoniD,; these nentlemen and we ara indulging in a little of the sparkling, and if you do not object T will order up a roand for them and myself ' Gough didn't object, and Ward ordered four si ill" cocktails. When they were p'aced before the merry guests they were quickly qualltd. But one glass remained untouched. "What is this for?" queried ough, pointing to the extra deccction. "Oh! that's for me," replied Ward, with a merry twinkle of his ey?: "when I t.ike a drink 1 always feel like another maa a id 1 always treat the other m;tn, see?''

"Four, includir-g Mr. Gough." "And four drinks; why the infernal old hytvocrile he snail be exposed " It was the work of a fev moments to inform the newspaper reporter?, and when morning came the whole city resounded with the newsboys shout of "All about Gough on a drunk." Gough boarded the rirtt train out of the city, aad has never card to venture there since. He was tha mrocent victim of a practical joke, bat the t-ria people believe him to bs a hypocriticjl eld sot. The Man Who Unten. f Washington fecial to Philadelphia Timc-s.l Pilgrims to Albany are not retarning knowing as much a9 was the case three or four weeks ago. Fewer persons are speaking for Cleveland than there were. Cleveland is a good listener, it is said. Some notable mistakes have been committed by construing silence into consent. This has imposed on him the duty of correcting a number of assumptions. Inferences are being drawn from the fact that Mr. Cleveland bas a number of time3 asked visitors to give their views of Mr. Thurman, when they had "had their say" of others, without ever mentioning the distinguished Ohio statesman. Without inferring too much, it is to be said that the President-elact has more than once manifested an interest in the exSenator he has not in many others. This fact Is handed around among those who know a hawk from a hand-saw as having a meaning equal to anything yet touching the Cabinet to be. Among the few things that can be said with any degfee of positiveness is that by common consent less is known concerning Mr. Cleveland's intentions in any respect than a week ago, when less was known than the week before that. At the same time there is an increasing eacerness to know more of Cleveland himself, as bearing on probabilities in the future. Curiously enough, pprsons who only latelf knew it all are confessing their ignorance, and are in an Inquiring state of mind. Advice to Yonug 2Icn. Indeed no, my son, one man is not as good as another. Not by a long chalk he isn't. A young man of your age ought to know better than to bay Euch a thing. It is a very pretty bit of Democratic sentiment, but it isn't true. Yhen you have heard that; assertion shrieked out in resouant tones that fairly echo back from' the clouds, oa the Fourth of July, if youwiil follow the orator borne and observe hiru clearly, you will perceive that he didn't and doesn't believe what he says, and he doesn't live upon his own platform. Now, don't misunderstand me. 1 am not talking politics. I know, my son. that you are as good as any man that walks the earth. I agree with you most heartily so far. We are as good as other men. Tho back of our hand and the toe of our foot to the slanderer who says we are tot. But, are other men as g3od as we are? Thst is where the gazelle comes in. Tnat is what tries yoor democracy. Just think that over a little when you are fixing up vour next Fourth of Jaly oration. It will stand a great deal cf thinking over. I tell yon, my son, if ail men were really as good as each other, and we all thought so, this world would be too perfect to live in. You ask Mr. Clalne if one man is as good ai another. Ask him if he thinks Dr. Burchard is as good a man as Mr. Stephen Elkins. Ah no. my boy, one nun ti not as good as another. ROFEET J. Bl'EOETrE. Francis I). Moulton'a Cur'.oiu AsaeU. RVew York Sun. A down town bibliopole was asked whather there was any demand among collectors of rare manuscripts for thebudget of Beecher's letters In the Tilton scandal which are among the eL'fcts of the late Franca D. Moulton. He replied tbat he had a standing order from one rich collector for rare historic manuscripts, and tbat if he could he would bid liberally for the Beecher letters, and would be clad to take them on speculation if hU principal did not wish them. The "letter of contrition," he added, would in gooi time? be worth from f000 to $1.000, and ho thought that tone cf the others which contained -phrases that have become colloquialisms would have a good sale. The letters are in the hand of Mr. Moulton'a executors, and as there is a market for them, it is believed that they will have to be

nzATded as assts. "There would be," ad le i the hibliopo'e, 'a fine speculation in ettiog hold of tbee letters now aud holding tneai for ten or filteen years." Overflow of the Susquehanna.
