-assisted during exhibition hours by j. E. Holmes,
superintendent of the machinery department, his
assistant engineers, and the several workmen under
their directions, supported by police force subject
to instant orders, competent to work the elegant and
powerful engine on exhibition by the manufacturer,
Mr.. VIM. Jeffers Of Pawtucket, R. l., who has kind
ly offered his beautiful machine for the use of the
department during the exhibition season. This
engine stands in the open space in the north nave
near the dome, and is capable of throwing water to
any part of the Palace. Each section Of the build
ing is supplied with four large hydrants, with two
lines of hose to each hydrant (and extra hose for
the engine) on the lower floor.
The galleries are supplied with three small
hydrants, and fifty buckets Of water in each of the
four divisions.
There are also twelve small hydrants on the lower
floor.
For the further and more complete protection of
the edice from fire. there will be tanks in the higher
portions of the two eastern towers capable of con-
tanning one thousand three hundred gallons each
which will be supplied with water by steam force
pump, from pipes connecting with the main pipe on
Fortieth street These tanks connect by four inch
pipes with all the lines Of hose and hydrants In the
main building, giving a constant head of about
twenty five feet higher than the average level of the
water in the reservoir.
In the machine arcade there will be one large
hydrant in the centre Of the building with eight
smaller onesfour on the lower floor and four in the
picture gallery, on the upper hoor-each supplied
with hose, as in the main building In add-
ton to the above there will be two powerful
engine force pumps, to be driven by the steam
engines in the machine department-one rotary
pump, by Mr.. J. c. Carey; the other q centrifugal
pump, furnished by Mr.. W. Lee Of this city, which
can be put into immediate operation in case of emer
gency. There is also a city hydrant on Fortieth
street. and on Forty second street which can be
brought into service If required
The members Of the department will be designated
by badges, bearing the initials of their respective
Offices.
The Office Of the superintendent is in No. IA, near
the northern entrance.
These arrangements would seem to imply an
almost absolute immunity from the possibility Of
danger By Gre.

ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-The
Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Journal
of Commerce, after referring to the various pro-
jects which have been started for the construc-
ton of a railroad between the Atlantic States
and territory on the Pacific coast and the diff
ficutes and objections connected with them, goes
on to say
But fortunately, solution of all the manifold
difficulties with which this question is surrounded
is found in the proposition which is about to be-
made to Congress by an association of enterprisng
engineers, capitalists and fnancers of the State
of New York
This Association will be prepared, next week.
to submit to Congress, in formal manner, a pro-
ject which has already been brought to the notice
OF many members, aud has been approved by
them-tor constructing "a military and post
road from the Valley of the mississippi River TO
San Francisco, in California, or other place on
Pacific Ocean, The company consists of men
of the most enterprisng character, and the grea-
test amount of practical information, and the
widest influence and credit and the largest
wealth, in New York. They are to be char
tered Company by the New York Legisa-
ture.
Several agents of the association have alreudy
visited Washington and conferred with membe rs
of both Houses, and have been invited to bring
forward their project.
Mr.. Chafeld, Mr.. McAlpine, aud General
Clarke were here for some days. as agents of tho
association, and were probably among its principal
projectors.
The details of their scheme are vet subject to
some ateration but in n word, they propose to
relieve Congress of all difficulty as to the location
of the road, by selecting the route themseves.--
They offer to make the road within five YEA g.
and by that time to have it in complete operation
They ask from the government no public lands
except what may be necessary for the purposes of
tue road They undertake to procure The assent of
every State or States, within the boundaries of
which the road may pass They ask of Congress a
loan of thirty millions, to be issued in five per eenr
stock, and delivered To the company us they pro-
gress with the road at the. rate of fifteen thou
sand dollars mile. Thus, under tho compile
ton and furnishing with necessary apparatus for
travel, fifty continuous miles they are to receive
stock to the amount of seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars.
The company are to pay off the loan in thirty
years. and in failure thereof, the Government is
to take possession of the road and its appurennn-
ces. The government may also, at the end of
twenty years, purchase the road and take pos
session of it, with all its appurtenances. on pay
ing the Company the actual cost thereof.
The Company shall construct single line of

AUSTRIAN MONEY. Il never was much more
astonished at anything than at the circulating
medium here; surprise which was not lessened
when was assured that, curious as it was they
had emerged from state of things still more un.
heard OF. When l presented my metal thaler
to pay something, I was offered in change little
bundle of most uncomfortable looking dirty shreds
of paper; the only thing can liken them TO, are
the toll. tickets one sees IN wagoners hat after
an accidental sojourn there of two or three days.
Upon my manfesting some repugnance to this
proposed exchange of silver for rags, the book
seller at whose shop happened to be, told me,
that about two years ago, when the financial diff
hculties of Austria were at their eliminating
point, they resorted to issue of vast quantities
OF paper, redeemable upon future contingencies
The precious metals at once vanished. The
people, recollecting the events at the termination
of the great war in 1915, when the government
compelled the payment of taxes in the silver flo
min, value two shillings, whilst it issued paper
Aorin, nominally the same value, but really not
worth more than tenpence, were very shy Of ac-
eepting the new offer So they hit upon sue
cedaneum in the shape of private paper: each
shopkeeper issued notes, promising to pay at
sight certain amount of bread, or meat, or
cloth, or silk, as the case might be. This was
carried on to an incredible extent, and was, was
assured, for some time the only alternative to a
state of absolute barter. Some rather uderous
scenes took place with foreigners coming to
Carlsbad, who were not altogether satisfied with
the offer of this species of change in return for
their soveregns and napoleons. One traveller
already sufficiently disconnected with the ragged
scraps which the exigencies of life had compell-
ed him to accept went to second or third rate
inn, and having got something to eat presented
one of these bons for Payment; whereupon, as it
represented higher value than the soup and
Rindfesh he had consumed, being some shoema-
ker's acceptance for a pair of shoes, certain pa
pers were rendered in exchange, of so novel cut
and color, that with disdan he rejected them,
scornfully inquiring who was to be responsible to
him for the fulflment of such promissory notes.
With equal haughtiness the tenderer replied,
II, to be sure! !" ''And pray, sir who may you
be z" why, the head waiter of The Three
Periwinkles, to be sure n'-Mem6er of Parlaa-
ment.

THE PEASANTS SONG OF WINTER.


iOm tbe ARCHAEOLOGICAL magazine.
THE PEASANTS SONG OF WINTER.
BY JAMES LINEN.
Autumn has fed, and winter is come
The groves are mute and the birds dumb;
The winds cold and the skies are gray
And tho weary makes short the day
And the gushing streams and tiny rls,
That danced and leapt down the rugged hills
And meandered through the witheted plains
Are bound by letters Of icy chains.
Like fragments Of robes that seraphs wear,
Now the heecy snow flakes fill the air;
And the crspy earth il wrapt in white
And the moon and stars lend not their light
But SHOWS may drift and the clouds may scowI,
The hail may beat and the tempest howl,
They bring not want to the peasant door,
Whose thrift has garnered his winter store.
All the Joy he feels no tongue may tell,
For love and peace in his cottage dwell;
And he scorns the slave of base DESIRES
And he lives as lived his honest sires
Though trees are stripped oftheir leafy plumes,
And the gardens glow wi h blooms,
Oh, the little snow drop, swsetly chaste,
VIII blossom the hoary waste.
Warm will shine and the soft winds blow,
And rivers swell with the melting snow,
And the daisies again be seen,
And the teeming fields be clothed in green.
Dead nature into life will sprns,
The orchard bloom and the skyark sing
While the swallows back again will come,
And the woodlands be no longer dumb.
The bees will steal from tbs clustered cells,
To gather sweets from the cups and bells,
And the bleating mountains Joyful be,
When Nature is set from winter free.
So the changing seasons come and go,
While the springs OF life still onward flow;
And faith and hope cheer the peasants end,
When the chilling dews of death descend.
He knows, when his earthly race is run,
That the golden prize of life is won;
He goes to a better land than this
To traverse fields of eternal bliss.
