IN Linton on his property, was formerly
engaged in an extensive brass manu-.
factory in London. His son, II youth Of

and WAS never heard OF TILL one day last

RAILROAD THROUGH TEXAS TO CALI
roRNIA.-The Washington correspon-
dent OF the New York Jomnai oj Com
merce mentions report that the Legis-
ature Of Texas has granted an exclu.
sive charter TO an English Company, at
the head oi which is the house Of Bar
ings, for railroad from the city o!
Houston TO FL Passo, and that the same
intend TO continue the road through
Mexican or United States territory, or
both, to some point on the Pacific. Ii
this be true, the Texan Senators and
members now in Washington will be
surprised at it, II was understood that
a charter had been, or was about to be
procured by an American Company,
for road from Galveston TO El Passo,
by the way Of Houston, and that this
road would be continued, by the same
company, 10 San Diego, and completed,
In four or five years with or without
the aid Of the United States Government
in the form of loan. II is very possi-
bic that an English Company may have
got the charter, and will continue the
road through chihuahua and Sonora 10
the Pacific, with the assent of the Mex T..
lean Government. II so, il will be some
time before the United States will have
a railroad through their own territory to
the Pacific. The route by FL Passo
will be unquestionably the fret one to
be opensd, and will, for II long time, be
the exclusive railroad route.

DEATH OF Mas. FiLLMoRE.-With
unfeigned sorrow we turn the attention
Of readers TO telegraphc despatch
announcing the death OF Mrs. Fillmore,
wife Of the late President, Millard Fill
more.
None who knew the deceased Indy
in her domestic and social circle could
withhold from her most cordial and
affectionate friendship AMI esteem.
She was a truly Christian woman and
exemplfied her Christianity in the glad
and faithful performance of all those
duties which devolved upon her as
woman. as wife; as mother and as friend
She loved to do good.
Great indeed is Mr.. Filmore's loss.
Although her tastes disnclined her to
needless publicity, she was loving
and devoted vile, n judicious counsellor,
and a pleasant companion in the ouieter
circle OF home, where her affections
had their fuller and more congenial
play and her innate fortiiude Of charac.
ter was to Mr.. Fillmore a steadiast
reliance.
As Mr.. Fillmore's successor was
called to pass through the ordeal OF
severe affection ere Official honor
dcvolyed upon him /; SO, while Mr.. Fill
more was modestIy retiring from the
honors he had won, does his path lie
through dark and cherries valley Of
sorrow-cheeress, al least, save as it is
lllumine by ,hepious hopes and strong
consultations OF Christian faith, and
we feel assured that the whole nation
will unite in the prayer tina, the honored
ex President OF the Republic may find
tha, support in trial, and that light IN
obscurity, without which such an nlflic-
ton must indeed press heavily upon

Gov. LAwhENcE.-A correspondent
informs us that Gov. Lawrence has
been an applicant Tor n foreign appoint
ment and that his application was un-
successful. owing to adverse influences
here. We have understood as much
before and we do not share in the
qualification which our correspondent
expresses at the failure. The eleva-
ton oi Gov. Lawrence in our State
government, was especially distasteiul
to us, because he was not Rhode
Island man, in his tastes, or his feel
ings, or his associations nor. in our
honest opinion, by his residence. We
dislikcd the manner in which he came
up, and we disliked the manner in
which he assailed the reputation of the
State in part Of his official course. In
fact, as our readers may have observed,
there never was great deal OF love
between Gov. Lawrence and the
Journal.
But we nave never denied, it would
be folly to deny, that Gov. Lawrence
is a man of marked ability, Of great cuI-
tlvation, and Of extraordinary capacity
for labor He is we'll fitted tor diploma
TIC employment, in which he has served
with credit, ard we long since express
ed hope that he might receive an
appointment abroad. But il seems that
our recommendation did not produce
much effect with the appointing power.
IN fact, we doubt il Gen. Pierce ever
saw it. We imagine. however, that he
heard from another quarter quite as
pow ueriul. The same influences that
defeated Gov. Lawrence at the last
State election, defeated his prospects
OF a mission, and that was d. mocratic
influence. Tie Maine Law had primari-
ly no more 10 do with his defeat last
year than the Montenegro question had.

DEATH OF Intelligence has
been received from Vienna, Austria. of
T the death OF General Haynau, famous
\ Tor his alleged crucllics TO the Hun.

Julius Baron Won IIaynau, field
marshal in the Austrian service, was
born at Cassel in 1856. lie was n
natural son of ,he Duke OF IIcsse by a
gold-smlh's daughter In early life he
was so notorious for lis eccentrcitIes,
as to be considered on the verge of in
sanity. He was educated at Casscl,
and entered the Austrian army as
Lieutenant III 1901. In the campaign OF
1908 he distinguished himself so much
as TO be promoted TO The rank oi cap.
tain in one the most notable regiments
in the service. In 1913 he was elevated
over his seniors TO the rank Of major
and acquired new laurels in the cam
paiEne OF Italy during lSl3-l4 for his
brilliant audacny and reckless bravery,
Little was lcard Of him during the
peace which succeeded the downfall Of
Napoleon, until the revolutionary
irrment of 1913. In May, ls49, he was

amy IN that sanguinary conflict which
terminated in the uit defeat Of the
hungarian cause. Gorgcy surrendered,
and the disgraceiul cruellies with which
llaynau treated ihe captive llungarans,
both women and men, are fresh in
every mind. Since his disgrace at the
Court OF Vienna in 1850 he has sprnt
his time in travelling over Europe. His
visit to London, and the manner in
which he was mobbed by the brewers
Of Barclay & Perkins's establishment,

The CALoRlc SHiP ERicssos.-The
N. Y. Journal Of Commerce, referring
to certain rumors IN relation to the
working Of the machinery of this ship,
says:
As understood by us, the main diff
Guilty hitherto encountered, has arisen
from the want of perfect connection
OF two sections Of an air pipe, near the
bottom OF one of The cylinders. Though
connected by rivets, the working OF the
engine prevented su h a perfect union
Of the parts as to allow Of the full use Of
the power otherwise available. 1t is
said that il has been determined TO
substitute single casting lor the delec-
tive parts, and that the difficulty will
be obviated at once. This change is
now being made. The other engine
has been perfect throughout and when
both are complete, it is believed that
the Ericsson will be In a much better
condition to prove her capabilities.
