TRAVEL FIFTY YEARS AGO. Discomforts or & Trip South Back in 184C. New York Sun. "People who travel nowadays and get a single ticket straight through to their destination and have their bag gage all checked and off their mind at the starting point have no idea of what a trip bj rail meant back j} in 1846 and 1848, when every State used dif ferent money," said the veteran Colo Del. "I lived in Brooklyn then, and tnee a year, or once every two years, at the farthest, I took my wife and family to visit my old home in South Carolina. I have vivid recollections of the struggles which those trips were, and of the sense of relief I felt when, after several days of travel, I 'landed the party, bandboxes and all, Safe and sound under the paternal .roof. Occasionally it happened that tome piece of luggage went astray or we narrowly escaped losing one of the thildren on the way, but generally we got through all right. There were few porters on the cars theil, except those employed to look after the rail road's interests. It was a case of every man for himself, whether there were transfers to be made or eating houses to be hunted up, and the dif ference in the currency of the various. States added considerably to the trav eller's troubles. "This was how it would be. Get ting off the ferry boat from Brooklyn, wa would pack ourselves into an omnibus and be trundeled over to the Cortlandt street ferry to take the train South. There I bought tickets for Philadelphia, paying for them in New Sark money. Arriving at Philadel phia, we were paoked into another "DEB and were carted across the city to the railroad station on the other side. That pa? t of the journey stands ona as most tedious and disagreeable. There was always delay and much crowding and waiting to see how many passenger* were to be provided for, and then the'bus took its time about -moving. At the station I bought new tickets that would take us as far as Baltimore. If I happened to have any gold along, after paying for lunch eons, dinners and suppers at the eat ing houses, I paid for my ticket in gold. If not, I used my New York -money or the money that I had got in Philadelphia, and paid something for t&e exchange. Certain of the road houses at that time made reputations either for serving very good fare or very bad. The refreshment rooms at Wilmington, Del., were on the good 4itfc. {fWhen we got to Baltimore we were put into oars drawn by four magnificent horses and taken over to the railway station on the other side of town in fine style. Really this was a great improvement on the omnibus system, and everybody applauded it. The first street cars had not been put on in New York very long then, and Baltimore was considered up to date. There were two things that that city was noted for then, its. pretty women and its fine horses. Some of the best of the latter were hitched to those new street cars. At the Baltimore station tickets were bought for Wash ington, and there was fresh changing of money. Arriving safe in the Capi tal in the early morning, we were treated to a true Southern breakfast ; a meal that was so good as almost to make up for the trouble one under went to get there. We- had delicious fried chicken, hominy that was oooked as hominy should be, corn waffles and takes, muffins, light and flaky, and all served by black waiters in the deftest manner. There were only a few negro waiters in service in Northern cities then, and they were always a novelty that interested people greatly, partic ularly the children. At Washington we got tickets for boat travel on the Potomac to Acquia Creek. The day of Aequia Creek, as a point of inter est and importance, passed away loog ago, but in 1846 that trip on the Poto mac was looked upon as a treat. There was much to see and enjoy after you had once counted the children and got the bandboxes and trunks and carpet bags off your mind. Kvery body used carpet bags in those days, and sometimes hair-eovered trunks, although the leather trunks, protected by stout canvas eovers, were consider ed the swell thing. By th? way, the work 'swell' was not in use at the time; 'genteel' was as high praise as any accessory of dress or convenience ; ever received. The ladies wore hoop- j skirts and tiers of flounces on their dresses, and perhaps that fact made ; the highways of travel seem more ( crowded than they really were. j "On the trip on the Potomac Mount ! Vernon was always pointed out, with j due ceremony, by the boat officials as j we went past, and the bells would toll. There were no guide books then, J and even tipping had not come into ] fashion. At Acquia Creek new tickets j were got for Hichinond. We got into j omnibuses at Richmond again, as we j had at Washington. We did not have j to stop at Fredericksburg, but we did f at Petersburg, and get new tickets for Weldon, N. G. North Carolina did not have the standing in thc land then that she has now. If my wif offered a North Carolina note at Stew art's or any other store in the Ne1 York shopping district, it was apt t be looked at askance. 'North Care lina is too far off,' the salesman woul say, and they preferred not to take it South Carolina, although in realit many miles further off, had bette credit. Charleston was an importan seaport and rich. A lady could giv a South Carolina bill, when she wa shopping and generally get it change without trouble. South Carolina wa not so far off from New York in thosi old dayg. "Weldon was one of the points 01 that trip South that stand out elear ii the memory of every man or womal who eyer tried to eat anything there j My wife and the nurse always got ; new basketfull of lunch at Richmond on purpose to avoid hating to sample the Weldon far?. The coffee was i nightmare, and anybody who ate i biscuit offered there was afflicted witl low spirits for the ensuing forty-eight boors. ''From Weldon we mored on tc Wilmington. At that point frost tickets were purchased, and we em barked bj way of steamer for Charles ton. The little steamers that plied up and down the coast were seaworthy, and moderately comfortable, but ai much like the steamers tkat go South now as a tin basin is like a porcelain lined tab. The meals that were to be got aboard were delightfully cooked and well served. Nobody objected to going on them. They were far more comfortable than any of the trains we had been on. What was the condition of the railroads then? Very poor. The snake-head, fiat rails were in use, and there was no end to the noise and set backs, to say nothing of the jarring and roughness, as compared with the travel we are used tb on the vestibuled trains now. Of course sleepers were unheard of. You made yourself and your party as comfortable as possible at night, and stuck it out as best you could. "When at the end of the four days' journey we arrived in Charleston and went to bed in comfortable four-post ers, on soft mattresses and yielding pillows, we appreciated the contrast as no modern day traveller cn the limited vestibuled coach is ever likely to do. If there were few delays and the trains, boats ant 'buses made prompt connections, we might make the trip in three days and a half, but it lasted generally four days, and sometimes, when things were creche ty, it was even longer." Seir-Belianee. Henry Ward Beecher used to tell this story of the way in which his teacher of mathematics taught him to depend upon himself : ''I was sent to the blackboard, and went, uncertain, full of whimpering. "'That lesson must be learned/ said my teacher in a very quiet tone, but with a terrible intensity. All ex planations and excuses he trod under foot with utter scornfulness. 'I want that problem : I don't want any rea sons why you haven't it,' he would say. "I did study it two hours." '"That's nothing to me. I want the lesson. You need not study it at all, or you may study it ten hours, just to suit yourself. I want the les son.' ''It was tough for a green boy, but it seasoned me. In less than a month, I had the most intense sense of intel lectual independence and courage to defend my recitations. "One day his cold, calm voice fell upon me in thc midst of a demonstra tion, 'No!' "I hesitated and then went back to the beginning, and on reaching the same point again 'No !' uttered in a tone of conviction, barred my progress. " 'The next !' And I sat down in red confusion. "He, too, was stepped with 'No-' but went right on. finished, and as he sat down was rewarded with 'Very well.' " 'Why,' whimpered 1, 'I recited it just as he did, and you said 'No!' " 'Why didn't you say 'Yes,' and stick to it? It is not enough to know your lesson. You must know that you know it. You have learned noth ing till you are sure. If all the world says 'No!' your business is to say, 'Yes,' and prove it.' " - The Louisiana sugar-grinding season has closed, all the sugar fac tories having completed their work.

But bis resolution began to ebb, He was two days shy by the end of FEB. Then he lost his temper and went so far AB to bawl and bluster all through MAR. He puffed and blew till he spoiled his shape, So he took the water cnre in AP. He took a shower bath every day, And was most disagreeable all through MAY. Then Summer came and he changed his tune Any fool can be good in JUNE. But the strain waa so great that by and by He was taken with fever in JULY. He only escaped the morgue, His temperature was so high in AUG. Never were resolutions kept Bo well as in convalescent SEPT. When he recovered the world was shock ed, For he painted the country red in OCT. Then he howled and raged like a fiend in love, He was full as could be of remorse in NOV. It's plain, Bald he, this thing must cease. Til swear off again at the end of DEC. - Oliver Herford in Life. Train Bobbers Foiled by a lady. CHICAGO, Jan 10.-Two men who last night tried to rob Conductor War ren Simon toa, of a Blue Island ave nue cable train, were foiled by a pas senger named Miss Sadie Williams. Besides Miss Williams there were three other passengers-another wo man and two men-and the gripman. Neither the male passengers nor thc gripman came to the help of the con ductor, who was having a desperate fight with the robbers inside the car. Just as the robbers were getting the best of the fight she concluded to take a hand. Grabbing her long hat pin that fastened her hat to her hair, she made a plunge with the pin on the robber nearest her. All her strength was lent to the thrust, and the mau screamed with pain. He released his hold on the conductor and turned on Miss Williams. She stuck him again and he quit the fight. Miss Williams went for the next man, and she made a thrust for his eyes. The point of the pin struck the cheek. "Take her off," cried the robber. He turned to look for his companion, who by that time was on the platform making ready to jump. He was asked to come back, but he did not. Mean time thc young woman was striking for more vital parts than his face. She reached her pin for his stomach. His thick clothing saved his life. The conductor was then bleeding and in a half-dazed condition. When he came to his senses there were but two persons Cn the car. The other pas sengers, whose names could not be learned, had gone. So had the rob bers. When the excitement was over and the robbers had disappeared behind some buildings. Miss Williams re placed her hat abd then asked the conductor if he was hurt. He was not. Then she fainted. She was soon revived, however, and escorted to her home. Miss Williams resides with her pa rents and is employed as an amanuenis in one of the downtown offices. She is small in figure, but it is said that she has thc courage of a soldier. - mm . 0m? - Doing and not Doing. "Sir," said alad, comiDg down to one of the wharves in Boston, and ad dressing a well-known merchant, ;'have you any berth on your ship? I want to earn something." "What can you do?" asked thc gen tleman. "I can try my best to do whatever I ain put to do," answered thc boy. "What have you done?" "I have sawed and split all mother s wood for nigh on two years/' "What have you not done?"' asked the gentleman, who was a queer sort of a questioner. "Well, sir," answered the boy after a moment's pause, t;I have not whis pered in school once for a whole year." "That's enough,'" said the gentle man ; "you may ship aboard this ves sel, and I nope to see you the master of her some day. A boy who can master a woodpile and bridie his tongue must bc made of good stuff." -Owr Smiilay Afternoon. - "Doctor, what do you regard as the surest hereditary trait-that is, what peculiarity is most likely to be inherited ?" "My observations lead me to believe that the desire-to escape work is about the most common thing that people inherit." - During the past two years, Mrs. J W. Alexander, wife of the editor of the Waynesboro (Miss.) 77me?, has, in a great many instances, relieved her baby when in the first stages of croup, by giving it Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. She looks upon this reme dy as a household necessity and be lieves that no better mcdiciue has ever been put in bottles. There are many thousands of mothers in this broad land who are of the same opin ion. lt is the only remedy that can always be depended upon as a pre ventative and cure for croup. The 25 : ind 50 cent bottles are for sale by thc Hill-Orr Drug Company. Canses of Sudden Death. Roughly speaking, about one-half of the total number of cases of sud den death from natural causes in adults is, more or less, due to heart disease, which has existed for some tiime, and in which no further change j ia in progress at the time of death such as valvular disease, angina, fatty heart, and sclerosis of the cardiac muscle from chronic myocarditis. In many cases concurrent lung or kidney d isease complicates the statistics, such cases frequently being tabulated as deaths solely due to heart disease. Spontaneous rupture of the heart, mostly in men, may exceptionally occur ; the left ventricle, often toward the front, is almost invariably the seat of the rupture. It is to be re membered that in traumic rupture of the heart the right side, usually the auricle, suffers more frequently than the left in the proportion of about as seventy to fifty-four. Apoplexy and other cognate brain lesions rank se cond as natural causes of sudden death. It is to be noted that military aneurisms of the vessels of the brain, although most common in persons past middle life, occasionally occur in young people, even in children, and by bursting cause death from apo plexy. Chronic alcoholism, a potent factor among the causes of sudden death, is frequently associated with rapidly terminating heart and brain disease. Asphyxia, a not unfrequent cause, may be due to oedema of thc glottis, membraneous deposits in the trachea, spasm of the vocal ehords, pulmonary embolism, air embolism, rupture of a Teasel or of an aneurism into the air passages, asthma, whooping cough, pn eumonia and haemo thorax, pleuri tic effeusion epilepsy. The rupture of a gasric or of an intestinal ulcer, of an aneurism, of a varicose vein, of the surroundings of an ectopic gestation, thc formation of a peri-uterine lue motocele, may severally prove quickly fatil. Nephritis (uraemia and apo plexy), diabetes, exophthalmic goitre, and Addison's disease may also termi nate with unexceptional rapidity. Hemorrhage into the pancreas occa sionally causes sudden death, appar ently from the impression produced on thc contiguous nerve centers. It is most common in males over 40 years of age who may up to thc occurrence of the hemorrhage to all appearance be in perfect health. Obesity, the habitual use of alcohol, and the pres ence of heart disease appear io many of thc cases to bc predisposing cause. Koetchau, however, observed hemorr hage icito the pancreas in ? woman an alcoholic-in her 24th year. Oc casionally it occurs.in spare people who are free from obvious disease and who are abstemious as regards alcohol. The sufferer may die within half an hour after the occurrence of tho hem orrhage, or ho may survive for twenty four or even thirty-six hours. Draper rece rds five cases between the ages of 2G and 35 years, of which three were men and two women. Fitz tabulated sixteen eases, of which eleven were males between 31 and 70 years of age, and five were females between 26 and 47 years. Sudden death has in instances fol lowed spontaneous rupture of an en larged spleen, the result of trophical malarial influences, the individual im mediately before rupture being to all intents and purposes quite well. Pel leraux gives the history of thirteen cases of rupture of the enlarged spleen ; in five the rupture was spon taneous, and in the remainder it was due to apparently inadequate causes, : such as a simple fall in the street. It ( is to bc borne in mind that when the : spleen is thus enlarged a mere pat ( with the palm of the hand may deter- j mine rupture and consequent speedy j death, which, in the absence of knowl- ? edge of the experience of others, might readily be assumed to be thc j resu lt of criminal violence. j It is to be remembered that some of the above named diseases may exist without giving risc to any symptoms until the final moment arrives; this appllies with special force to diseases j which have a prolonged course, during which, as a rule, symptoms indicative j of disease declare themselves. .Such a j ; disease is gastric ulcer. I have seen j more than one ease in which, until the j < fatal rupture occurred, absolutely no i symptoms were experienced, not even 1 : such as might have been attributed to ? sim pie dyspepsia; in one such instance j '{ a second ulcer was present in the walls j , of the stomach in addition to the one j ' thal; ruptured and caused death, and j . yet until perforation occurred the pa-j tient never felt any abnormal sensa- L tioo whatever.-Dr. ./.

"When I was down in the Tennes see mountains doing my turn in that peculiar and primitive section," ob served the special pension agent to a Washington Star reporter, "I had at various times such glimpses of life as you pampered children of the luxuri ous* capital never get. I remember one June morning I arose from a sim ple bed of clapboards on the loft floor of a log cabin and proceeded down a ladder to the earth, thence a hundred yards down to the creek, where I was afforded ample opportunity for my matutinal ablutions, as the stream was big enough to run a saw mill with. "As I splashed my face in the clear water and sputtered over it after the usual fashion of a man who likes to wash his face, I was joined by the 10 year-old son of the family with which I was stopping. He stood on the shore watching me with much interest, which I am glad to say I returned with zest, for he was a picture boy. He was sandy and freckled and didn't look as if he had had a bath in the memory of man. His clothes were simple enough, consisting of a cotton shirt and a made-over pair of papa's pantaloons, and there was no hat to hide a head of hair which I am posi tive never felt the penetrating arid persuading influence of o, comb. He was too much interested in the mys teries of my toilet to say anything un til I took out a pocket-comb and be gan to use it on my tangled locks. After a tug or two at it, looking at him meanwhile, he spoke. " 'Say, mister,' he said, curiously, 'have yer got to do that there ?' " 'Do what there ?' I smiled in re ply. "That there yer doinV " 'You mean combing my hair ?' " 'Yes.' " 'Of course, it has to be done.' " 'Every moro in' this erway ?' " 'Certainly.' .' 'Well, geewhillerkins, mister," he said, with much feeling, 'you must be a heap o' trouble to yerself.' " The Boys and the Lecturer. A temperance lecturer, when dis cussing his favorite theme, said: "Now, boys, when I ask you a ques tion you must not be afraid to speak np and answer me. When you look around and see all these fine houses, farms and cattle, do you ever think who owns them all now? Your fath ers own thea, do they not?!' "Yes, sir," shouted a hundred voices. "Where will your father bein twen ty years?" "Dead!" shouted the boys. "And who will own the house? then?" "Us boys!" "Bight. Now tell me, did you ever, in going along the street, notice the drunkards lounging around the public house door, waiting for some one to treat them?" "Yes, sir; lots of them." "Well, where will they be in twenty years?" "Dead!" exclaimed the boys. "And who will be drunkards then?" "Us boys!" Everybody was thunderstruck. It sounded awful. It was awful, bot it was probably true. - m - ? wm - - Don't be offended. Thc admoni tion is not meant as a reflection upon your talkativeness. Talk as much as you please, but keep your mouth shut when you are not talking. People who keep their mouth closed except when they are talking, eating or drink ing, rarely ever contract colds or coughs. Savages, even those living in northern latitude, seldom take cold. Scientists say it is because they ire close mouthed. Woman's Diseases Are as peculiar as unavoidable, and cannot be discuss ed or treated as we do those to which the entire human family are subject.
