Chambers Information for The People

Railways IN ENGLAND. We clip the following
from the Chicago Journal, as 10 the arrangements Of
Railways in England some of which might be imi-
tailed with profit:
1.-THE railways we'll built, and the first class
cars good, though the second class are poor Each
apartment holds eight persons and three apartments
TO each car. The engines are much lower than ours,
and apparently more simple. The engineers have no
covering, being exposed 10 the weather, and some
times have to wear wire masks protect their faces
baggage many times is put top of the passenger
cars, and covered with canvass. When they connect
they screw them together till the bumpers touch
which makes the train solid body, and prevents that
jolting which is often unpleasant on our roads.
The Great w estern Road has seven foot track and
a double track, which is usual on all roads. The
carriage way Is carried either under the track
this is required by law, and has to be taken into
consideration in establishing the grade, and adds
vastly 10 the expense; there few curves or few
grades usually running very direct and very level.

railroad men that Is, that they take the CLAW and

it is placed layer of fine waste coal about one
inch thick, then another of clay, then another of COAL

set on fire and burned about week, when the clay
becomes uniformed brick, and is used for ballast on
the road and answers about good purpose as

The BEST APRIL Fool OF THE SEASON. Among
the many attempts to play off practical jokes upon
the green ones the first of April, that OF lady
at one of the boarding houses of city, is the best
we have ever heard of. 1t was this She procured
from marble yard, several pieces of beautiful white
marble, and breaking them into nice little lamps,
put them into the sugar bOws.5 The counterfeit was
complee-no unsuspecIing person could have detect
ed the fraud. Soon supper was ready; the tea was
poured, and the sugar bowls were passed around the
table. Everybody took one, two or three Jumps, ac-
cordng TO their liking. Then followed a general
tasting and stirring all round the table-nobody's tea
to melt. They ground their spoons against it, and
stirred again, and again. but it was no go. The su.
gar proved to be marble, and they for once proved to
be 2priI foob. Charleston Standard.
