THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILROAD FROM MOBILE
From the Mobile Tribune of Tuesday we extract
the following
1t may be remembered that when an election
was ordered to take the sense of the people
whether the city authorities should aid the Great
Northern road by the issuance of bonds to be
loaned to the Company that we took some pains
to point out the egality of the proceeding and re-
commended postponement of the election for
further legislation. Our advice was not needed,
and we were probably regarded as silly carpers
not worthy of notice. We find by message of the
Mayor to the Board on the lst, that at last, that
official and the company's attorney, r. H. Smith,
Esq, have adopted our views. The Mayor says
am satisfied that the act of the General Assem-
bly,, under which the tax payers, by vote, sane
to extend aid to that company by the loan OF
bonds, does not explicitly authorize the providing
by taxation for sinking fund, or the payment OF
interests on such bonds until such time as by COM
ings may be able to make such provisions. 1t is
also believed that the proceedings by which the
vote of the tax payers was taken were not in
strict accordance with the requirements ofthe law.
1t is suggested that additional legislation y
should be obtained, and we are informed that a
bill to be laid before the Legislature las been
drawn with great care.

been carousing with some of his compan-

Soon becoming sufficiently inebriated,

dreadful night.

Pleased with his compliment, l replied

me on the head, "get little hot water!'

Tickled with his fattery, like fool. l
went to work, and bitterly did I rue the
day. 1twas new axe, and ! toiled and

The school bell rang and could not get
away; my hands were blistered, and it was
not half ground. AT length, however, the
axe was sharpened, and the man turned to
me with
"Now, you little rascal, you have play

Parting With n Child.

"A painful case, and a rather curious one
has been decided in one of our District
Courts. 1t was conflict between parents
for the possession of a natural child. An
unmarried woman sued out writ of ha-
6eas corpus, TO recover possession of hel
child, little boy two years and n half old
which she said was Illegally kept from hel
by certain citizen and his wife.
On trial, it appeared that this either
was the father of the child, who was hand
ed over to him by the mother when it wa.
a trouble and disgrace to her. He had nc
cepted it, and was dong for it all that any
father could do for lawful child; beside
which, he loved it and petted it fondly.-
This gentieman's wife, with magnanimi
ty quite rare in such cases (knowing, as she
did, all about the child, had adopted it al
so, and loved it rs if it were her own. On
trial, the father was not able to prove that
the mother had given the child to him fol
good and all. co.
On Monday the judge decided the case.
which was that the child must be delivered
over to its mother. With the order Of
court, and accompanied by the mother, a
deputy sheriff went to the residence of the
father to get the child, and pass it over to
its mother. He describes the scene crea-
ted by his visit as the most touching and
distressing thing he ever saw. The adopt
ed mother, turning pale as death, tried to
put him off upon different pretexts, and to
delay the separation as long as possible.
Taking the child up stairs to wash and
dress him, she locked him up, and told the
deputy he could not have him till the hus-
band came home. 7si, sli 7S1s''9
When the husband arrived, the deputy
politely explained his business, and was po-
litely treated. The gentleman went up
stairs, and after while came down with
his wife and the child ilais- g-fd3e
The little fellow was nicely dressed, and
his adopted mother brought down with
him whole armful of the daintiest little
clothes and rufles, DC, beside a,number of
toys which bad been purchased for the pet
at Christmas. All these she laid on the
floor at his feet, without saying a word ;
too proud to display either affection or
grief before the hatred mother of her pet,
yet showing symptoms of the most intense
suppressed agony. The father acted as be-
came man under such circumstances, al
lowing the child to 60 quietly and without
fuss. The mother took the little one in
her, arms. the deputy gathered up the cloth
inr and toys, and they left. The door
closed quietly behind them, and the more
than real mother was forever bereayed Of
the dearest object of her affections. '.n

| A correspondent of the San Francisco
Golden Era tells the following story.
"In riding from Illinoistown to Nevada
| mistook the trail, and after travelling
about twenty miles across gulches and
through chapparel, with no guide save the
sun, struck pretty thickly peopled val
ley some two or three miles South of Ne
vada. Observing lad ten or twelve
years of age, engaged in washing pan
of dirt in a little pool of water not far off,
l rode up TO enquire the direction and
distance TO Nevada, when the following
conversation ensued: s
"My little man can you tell me how far
ii is to Nevada!"
"Don't you know!" answered the lad,
rising, and giving me leerish look.
"Of course not: should not inquire if
| did" sir
"What do you want to know forl Are
you going there, and are you lost and can't
find the way?'
"Yes. | am going there, if it is necessa-
ry for you TO know. Now, how far is it,
and what direction shall take?"
"Do you want to take the longest or
the shortest road!" inquired the little ras-
cal, with malicious grin wrinkling bis dir
ty face.
"The shortest of course, if there are
more roads than one" said l, impatiently.
"Well, just take up over the hill there,
and don't mind the chapparel, and you'll
reach Nevada before night, for 'taint more n
two miles and half. "But," continued
the boy, "tell me-are you constable, tax
collector, doctor, or what"
$50 to the devil, you young imp" was
my answer, wheeling my horse and start
ing off. =
"Hold upr' shouted the boy, with an
energy that stopped me in spite of myself.
"Now don't you get your back up old fel-
lerl" Here take a drop of this; twill do
you good;;" and he held up bottle.
"What have YOU therel" l euquired,
hardly able to repress smile. !
"Why, whisky, to be sure. Take swig
Its first rate. 'Twont hurt you."
"Whatl do you drink whiskya' said |,
attempting to look surpri'ed.
He gave me look, and such a look,
too-so full of contempt and pity at my
he threw himself back and
replied, measuring and emphasizing each
word. !" "Do-I-drink-whiskys Just
cock your eye, stranger, and see." He
shut one eye knowingly, placed the bottle
to his lips, and turned and left him nib
bling at the nozzle. ,i-7 s.s @ Eiqn1oo \,

A String of Curious Facts.

Inc following striking sclentli1c facts
were picked up in the course of our read
ing, from various authorities. We think
many of them will be new to our readers
The difference between the skulls of a
domestic hog aud wild boar, is as great
as that between the European and negro
skull. Domestic animals that have subse-
quenlly run wild in the forests, after few
generations lose all traces Of their domes-
tication, and are physically different from
their tame originals. i
1t is not natural for COW, any more
than for any other female animals, to give
milk when she has no young to nourish
The permanent production Of milk is a
modified animal function, produced by ar
tifcial habits for several generations. In
Columbia, the practice of milking cows
having been laid aside, the natural state
of the functions has been restored. The
secretion of milk continues only during
the sucking of the calf, and is only an oc,
casional phenomenon. If the calf dies,
the milk ceases to flow, and it is only by
keeping him with his dam by day, that an
opportunity of obtaining milk from cows
by night can be found. as1
The barking Of dogs is an acquired her.
editary instinct, supposed to have origina-
ted in an attempt to initiate the human
voice. Wild dogs and domestic breeds
which become wild, never bark but howl
Cats, which so disturb civilized communi-
ties by their midnight scatter waul," in their
wild state in South America, are quite s-
lent. H5g s.t
The hair of the negro is not wool, but
Va curled and twisted hair. The distinction
between hair and wool is clearly revealed
by the microscope. l.ala
The dark races have less nervous sensi-
bility than the whites. They are not SUBJ
ject to disease. They sleep soundly in ev-
cry. disease; nor does fny mental disturb
ance keep them awake. They bear surgi-
cal operations much better than white peo-
pie. - 5- O.. a3r4, ..rris q.
A certain species of fungus has been
known TO attain the size of gourd in one
night; and it is calculated that the celules,
of which it is composed, must amount to
forty-seven thousand millions. If it grew
in twelve hours, this would give four thou
sand millions per hour, or more than thr-
ty-six millions each minute. .srq,zs. p
Animacules have been, discovered so
small that one million would not exceed a
grain of sand, and five hundred millions
would sport in drop Of water. Yet each
of these must have blood vessels, nerves,
muscles, circulating fluids, DC, like large
animals.
One of the most wonderful achievements
of astronomers, is the wighing of the So
lar system. 1t is certain that the mass of
Jupiter is more than 1922 and not less than
222 times the mass of this globe-so ac-
curately has this work been accomplished.
The mass of the sun is 339, ,551 times great
er than the united masses of all the plan
cts. 5 &" ..'f '"' u
The planet Saturn is composed of mat
Ter only half as heavy as water; Mercury
is considerably heavier than quicksilver,
and third heavier than lead and our own
globe is twice as heavy as lead-a fact
which shows the density of internal parts.

Winter Travelling in the Upper
Peninsula of Michigan.

The Detroit Advertiser has an interest
! ing article under the above head, in which
speaking Of the endurance of the Indians,
their fondness for hills, and the rapidity of
their travel in snow shoes, the following is
told as gospel truth. Our readers can be-
lieve it or not, just as they please:
The veteran Indian .shoer' will never
drink water, or eat snow during the time
he is on his journey. as he says it makes
Lin 'veiy much weak The Indians and
half breed, on coming in from long jour
ney, on their arrival at their destination,
will, if night is near and dance is in pros
pect, stay about until the ball begins, 90
10 it, and dance until daylight. We have
known of parties of young men putting on
their snow shoes on Christmas morning,
walking thirty miles to ball, dancing all
highland then walking distance of twelve
miles to breakfast We have in our mind
one of the most wonderful feats of pedes-
trianism, which, if it were not we'll substan-
tiated, would be difficult of belief Ittook
place number of years ago. Mr. School
craft, residing at Sault St. Marie, wished to
send an express to Mackinac, distant by the
trail about seventy-fve miles. He sent for
half breed called La Branch, and that be
must start at II O'Clock M. that day. La
Branch objected, as there was te be ball
on the evening of the next day. SCHOOL,
craft told him that he must 60, and that
as he wanted to attend the ball, if he was
back from Mackinsc by 10 o'clock the next
evening" he would give him twenty dollars
extra pay. At twelve o'clock he started,
and the next day at 10 P. NJ. appeared
again having gone the whole distance-one
hundred and fifty miles-in thirty-foN
hours. After receiving the promised twsn-
ty dollars, he said 'he could have bsen in
BY 8 o'clock, but lie waited two hours on
The hill back of the town for fear that he
might get in ahead of time, and lose his
money! After leaving Mr.. Schoolcraft's
tore, La Branch went to the ball, and trip
ped the the noccasined toe until daylight"
