THE LaaT OF THE RAILWAY STRIIIL-011
Thursday on the Mahon division of the North-Eastm a
Railway the last trace of the late strike was effaced. Mote
and after May ti the whole of the trains running before
the strike are replaced, sad there is now full 'service on
all the lines of this district. The excursion traffic is likely
to be introduced in • week or two. The resell of the
strike has been to encourage the river navigation to Halt-a,
and during the past week more vessels have come ttii the
I)erwent than have been seen at aloe since the rpen'ng of
the railway. It is also stated that following the r s.amidis
of the London and Brighton speculation, the extort:Jinn*
of • stage coach between York, Mahon, and M..1..r1 oioublt
will be tried during the summer.
STAGE CARPITIN. —A machinist conneecd with
one of the Boston theatres has invented an arrangement
by which stage carpets may be removed without the intru-
sion of untidy-looking supernumeraries in front of the
curtain. A wire at the prompter's desk is mad, to re•
verse the hooks upon which the carpet is fastened, near
the footlights, and thus release it, when it oily be palled
in from behind. This is all very well ; but the Ilying of
the carpets between acts has been always ss ohjechosable
a feature as the other, end some invention is now needed
by which that part of the work may be done without the
introduction of the supernumeraries.—New York Timmy
