Grand Trunk Railway Company.

The greatest Canadian Railways have
been, as a general thing, we'll managed.
There is great order and regularity in their
movements, and we have been glad to see
that every bridge is to be iron, so that no
stray spark from locomotive can endanger
the life of travellers. This road is distin.
guished above all others for its good discip.
line. But the English management has had
some pretty dearbought experience in taking
care of Railway IN climate entirely
different from that of the mother country,
and where the curves are frequent (they
have but few in England) and the grade
much sleeper than in Europe Therefore,
when the management in England got hold
of the American end of the road which
runs from the border of Canada to Port
land, lot of English locomotives, which
were of light draft and made to whisk at
furious rate over level bee line set of rails,
were put upon the road But the steep
grades and heavy SHOWS in New England
soon knocked them of the track. The en-
gineer en- chef of the locomotive depart
nent made, known to his betters in England
that American locomotives were needed for
American Railways. Word came back to
the effect that the machines ran at 'ome."
and they must 60 on the Grand Trunk and
if the engineer could not make them go,
man would be sent out who could. Suffice
to say, the engineer retired, and another
was sent out in his place, who did make the
English machines do what the management
''at 'ome" wished. His process was very
short one. He soon saw how the case stood,
and had the locomotives taken to the ma
chine shop, and altered into very respectable
"iron horses" and thus "made them 90" to
the tune of several thousand dollars. We
have often chronicled the success of the
Grand Trunk Railway, and rejoice at its
prosperity; but we never dreamed that
experience in very simple matter was
again to be bought at very high price.
The whole United States-the mechanical
potion of it at least--has enjoyed hearty
laugh at an item which recently appeared in
the Ra,laUay Journal 1t was there stated that
the GrandIrunk Railway Company wished
one or two thousand axes. Now it is we'll
known that our country excels in prime axes,
but the astute managers sent an order for the
desired article to England. The order was
accompanied with model axe blade and
the ecifcation--"exactlyl like the pattern"
In course of time the axes returned, but as
blind as new born kittens, without an eye
to see through or to put handle in. These
acute but eyeless instruments, made exactly
like the pattern" are now on sale at Mon.

HEALTH OF AMERICAN WOMEN.

constitutional troubles of women, entirely

and all delicate and ailinE. Amid the immense
circle of my friends and acquninlanccs cannot
recall ten married ladis in this century and c0un

ever, where the Graenberg Cathoiicon has been
used, we must say that health has rapidly taken
the place of disease and ladies' have become robust
stronS vigerons and healthy.
Mrs Gleason, of EImira, says: beautiful in.

worse than useless nostrums, are heartily glad of
it. Out of hundreds OF various kinds of worthless
trash thrown upon the world, by the cupidity OF
unscrupulous quacks and individuals it is difficult
toglean that which is really entitled to merit rom
its healing properties, unless we know, from per-
sonal observation, its beneficial effects upon some
of our acquaintances. OF this last is one which
we can speak conildt ntly and with pleasure. We
refer TO Willianms' Sarsaparlla and lodide OF
Potassium We have seen it used by numerous
persons IN our midst, with the most happy results
and We can name instances, in which, after every
thing else had been tried without avail, it per-
formed remarkable cure. Ne have no faith in
Patent Medicines in general, but this Is an excep.
tion that we make with pleasure, from sense of
justice to the proprietor, who has given to the

ferred upon the world by that event which this

benign dispensation. A merry Christmas, then
