I.fi79 regular passenger trains enter and leave the depots of New York City every twenty-four hours. Sour of tins curves on the elevated roads recall the si ory of the New England railroad on which the engineer sometimes gives u light for his pipe to the brakeman on the. rear plat for n of tho last car as the train rounds the curve In Oaklaiid. Cal., and other places, compressed air is now. successfully used for operating switches haying an interlocking apparatus. The system is, in fact, very extensively used on several of our principal railways. It takes up less space than mo-cimmcal-lix-Iiting machinery, and the labor of working it is very light. The ground connection* cau be buried out of the way, andean bo led out from the tower in any way most convenient. Hh.htken years ago, wheti the air-brake was tried. J9 required eighteen seconds to apply it to a train two thousand feel long. Four years later the time was reduced to four seconds. Recent experiments with t he uir-brafa e on freight t rains show that it (an be uppli ?d to every car in a train of that length running at tho rate of forty miles an liour, and t .sat this train can be stopped ivilhln five hundred f-.'t, or ono fourth its t wn length, and ail this without aiiy serious jolting. Tns cal bills of railroad companies amount to f rom nine to twelve per cent, of the total operating expenses. It has been estimated that if this item of cost could bo reduced ooo-half net earniugs could be consnlcraltfr increased. It has been estimated t hat live locomotives of this country List year burned 24,000.000 ton* of coal, of which Only three per cent, of actual power stored up in coal was utilized. Inventors are at work tryiug to devise some method by which the coal bills can be reduced one-t alf. It is beeo ning quite the thing for foreigners of wealth to sec this country by contract. The railroad comjxm'ies agree to show the country from Maine to Mexico, with a private car, for a certain sum. This includes, board, car fare, guides and mules fr*r the mountains, and, in fact, every necessary expense of uu extended trip. Tho Pennsylvania road has had two applicatioiis recently fr;gn moneyed foreigners who do not wish to be troubled with the details of traveling, and arc willing to pay for the advantages of tho system.

A young woman nursed her for three years, ui)t>J the old woroin died at last. .A few years afterward she married a /oadg farmer and lived happily with him in a little cabin on the edge of the swamp. One day a shining white spot appeared on her forehead. In four years she was dead. , There is no cure. The tainted families can ouly qto off to, seme secluded spot is the w iioernesa and wait their summons. The real "Land of the Lepers,” as it is called in French, is situated on the lower Lafourche, below Harang’s canal. The hayou there is turbid and foul; it flows through malarious swamps lower than itself. The Creole plauters there ore honest end temperate folic, but they art Wretchedly podri The/ f aisd only rice, • and live on it and fish. The wet rice fields come up to the very doors of their cabins. The leprosy w hich certain families among them hove inherited is developed by these eenliititms. Five years ago Prof, tloreph Juitee, president of the State Board of Health, Went himself with his son to explore the Cypress swamp* and lagoons of the lower Lafourche. It is the region df the shadow of death. He found many poor lepers hiding there. They were as dead men who walk and talk. They could handle burning coats; they felt no longer cold, nor heat nor pain. Their bodies were as corpses. One man lived alone in a hut, thatched with palniettdes, which he had built for himself, eating only the r.cs which he had planted. No man nor woman had come near him for years. A Claim to Human Gratitude.

Before a week is over they shall ail bo brought to tho guillotine.’’ At the-o words, Charlotte drew from her bosom the knife, and plunged it with supernatural force up to tho hilt in the heart of Marat. “ Come to me, my dear friend, come to me,” cried Marat, and expired under the blow 1 In the Corcoran gallery at Washington is a famous painting of Charlotte, represented as behind the prison bars the day before her execution. It is a thrilling, sad picture, full of sorrow for her suffering oountry.and of unconquerable hate for her country’s enemies. Whatalesson in this tragic story! Two hundred, na.v, five hundred thousand people would Marat have sacrificed to his unholy passion of power! Methods are quite as murderous and inexorable as men, and they number their victims by the millions. The page of history is full of murders by authority and by mistaken ideas!

They are, not tho untried and imaginary remedies of some dabster chemist intent on making nouey, but tho long-sought principles of the healing art which for generations kept our ancestors in perfect health, put forth for the good of humanity by one who is known all over the world as a philaothropist—a lover Of his follow man,—whose name is a guarantee of the highest standard of excellence. The preparations are of decided and known influence over disease, and as in the hands of our grandmothers they raised up the sick, cured the lame, ana bound up the wounds of death, so in their new form but olden power as Log Cabin remedies, they are sure to provo the “healing of thenar tuea'’ InmiculnWajarrmurderous Marat, just as this man is doing humanity a service by re-introducing to the world the simpler and better methods of our ancestors. __ It has been well said that “hypocrisy is a tort of homage that vice pays to virtue." It seeks to ape a virtue that it does not possess, and In the effort confesses the value and superiority of the virtue. The best way to to have the virtue, and thus supersede the necessity for the hypocrisy. —X. 1‘. Imkpmdeat. “That settles it!
