The Pacific Railroad We have reason to
believe that in another week the House selec'
committee on the Pacific railroad will be ready
to report. They have held half a-dozen long
and earnest meetings, at which their respec.
tive views were canvassed in detail We are
inclined to think that they have, for the mos
part, declined to consider specific projects o,
schemes; contenting themselves very proper
ly, with discussing general principles appli.
cable to the business in hand. There are but
two, or, at most, three gentlemen, on the com
mittee who have expressed themselves dis
posed to recommend that the Government shall
have nothing whatever to do with building a
railroad to the Pacific. Having discovered
that they are powerless in the committee, we
presume, from what we learn, that these gen.
tlemen are now acting with such Of their fel.
low committee men as are opposed to aiding
any such work further than by donations Of
alternate sections of the public lands, to any
company which may undertake the job. In.
deed, we conceive it highly probable that by
this day week plan will be agreed ON to this
end, which shall also expressly avoid making
any recommendation as to the best route, or a.
to the proper parties with whom to contract
So far, only preliminary votes have been taken
yet. the mgm bers of that committee have SC

CuaIous EyYzcrs or HAIR OK GaAss.-
A few years ago the purchasers Of hog
hair at TeTre Haute, Ind, carried II out uD-
on the prairie and spread 1t on the grassto
dry. This was 10 the fan and winter. AZ
ter being washed with the rains, II was
raked up, leaving portion sticking in the
grass. In the spring this was the earliest
green spot and continued to be the sweet
est, as was proved by the cattle resortine
there to feed. By and by one ofthem died,
then another and another though appar-
emily fat and healthy. Then one was O.
pened to ascertain the cause Of death, and
afterwaHd others for curiosity. In the
stomachs OF those that had fed most upon
this hair-maUured spot were found two or
three dozen hair balls; such as we used to
be told when q boy were witch balls. -
We have seen them thee inches in diam
eter and as sciid as itis possible to COM
pact hair together. The calamity grew 50
serious that lhe oysnsrs Of the cattle had 70
plough up the ground and turn under the
sod and its rich maEuring which continued
TO show its effects for years after.
Hair balls are often found in the stomacbs
Of cattle on the farm, from morbid appe-
tite, eating their own or another animals,
or when the swineshaye been butchered;
and perhaps oftener produce death than Is
imagined. To prevent accidents, Jet all
the hair be plowed under; it is very valua-
bic manure.

EE-S -Salsratus is said to be injurious to
the human system, and that it destroys
thousands of children and some adults eve
ry year. The evil is fast spreading thro'-
out the Union. Families of moderate size
already use from ten to twenty pounds
yearly. What is salaratus? Wood is burnt
to ashes, ashes are lixivated, lye is the re-
suit. Lye is evaporated by boiling, black
salts are the residuum. The salts undergo
purifcation by FIRE, and thepotash of COM
merce is obtained. By another process,
we change potash into pearlash. Now put
this into sacks and place them over distil-
lery wash-tub, where the fermentation
evolves carbonic acid gas, and the pearlash
absofbs and renders it solid, the product
being leavier, drier, and whittier than the
pearlash, 1t is now salaratus. How much
Salts, lye and carbonic acid can human
stomach bear and remain healthy, isaq ques-
ton for the salaratus eaters rs.---Bah. San.

The UPRIaHr MAs.-We may Judge of
a mans character by what he loves--what
pleases him. If "a person manifests delight
in low and sordid objects-the vulgar and
debasing language-in the misfortune Of
his fellows, of cruelty TO animals, we may
at once determine the complexion Of his
character. On the contrary, if he loves
purity, modesty, truth-if yirtuous pur-
suits engage his heart and draw out his af-
fections, we are satisfied that he is IN up
right man.

years afterward that the lump was known
to be gold, the boys father having kept i
meanwhile, on naccOuntofits weightasa good

it, be concluded to sell it for $3.50. He

RoMAMsM In the clerks office of one

we observed, the other evening, small
iron cross and string of beads On ask

devotion, he said no but that he often
had to use them in the way Of. business
On almost every trip there are found on
board some Irish Storage passengers who,
when summoned to the Captains Office
to pay, declare that they have not apenny
in their pockets, and begin to beg
their passage. Whereupon the clerl
shows them the "cross' and the "beads'
and asks them to swear upon these holy
symbols to the truth Of their statements

Of this press, which is indeed a perfect
beauty to look at and a curiosity to see in
operation. The linking apparatus and the
general principles Of the machine are Sc
arranged that four colors can be printed al
one impression, at the rate of about SOC
impressions in an hour. And not only
can di6erentlines and letters be printed in
various hues, but so perfect is the inyen-
ton that one letter. may be printed in two
three or four colors; or printed in one co
lor and shaded by another, all with the
same impression.
Its construction is very simple, there be.
ing less of complication about it than We
