Effict of Railroads ok railroads were only thought of as impoeebilities, Coleridge wrote thus prophetically as to their future effect upon women: "Whether it is that women have a passion for nursing, or from whatever cause, they invariably discourage all attempts to seek for health itself beyond their own abode.

When balloons, or these new roads, upon which they say it will be impossible to travel fifteen miles an hour, for a day together, become the common mode of traveling, women will become more locomotive; the health of all classes will be materially benefitted. Women then will spend less time in attiring invent some simple head gear, or dispense with it altogether. But if Coleridge should be called again to life, and behold not only the locomotive, but the (skirt) balloon in it, and the woman ioside of all, "going it" at the rate of 40, and sometimes 2-40, what would be his surprise. The best, as it ia, also, the best-lookiog, protection for iron ordnance and other plain iron-work kept out of doors, is a coat of black paint, and over this, a finely sprinkled coat of black lead. The black lead is to be applied before the previous coating of paint is entirely dry.

The lead may then be with a rag or brush. 701 WASHINGTON. Leave Alexandria at 8, lli A. 1J, and Ik o'clock, P. M.
