car Of regal splendor. The body of this car
is sixty feet long, eleven feet wide, and is
eight feet high inside. 1t is seated for sixty
passefgers, and has berths for the accommo-
dation of fifty-two sleepers. The appoint

ment over all that irresistably suggests a
woman's counsel in the matter. I, The wood
work of the seats is Of st, Domingo mahogany,

bird s-eye maple. The backs and cushions Of
the seats are covered with royal purplelplush,I
while the berths are shut in from observation
by rich satin dainask curtains, alternately Of
red and green, falling 10 the aoor." The pass
age way between the seats is covered with
Brussels carpet, while the entire fitting up of
the car is in keeping At either end are
wash-rooms, with every necessary conven-
ience for the toilet.1 AT these ends Of the car
the heaters are placed, which, by novel
patented arrangement, throw the heat equally
over the ear, and through window into the
wash-roorris, preventing the water from freeE-

PRoBxBIE FAILURE OF THE PoTATo CRop IN
MISUNDERSTANDING of the potato crop in
Ireland, a Limerick correspondent says:
have just returned from travelling extern
.sively over this district perhaps the largest
'potato-growing country in the South of Ire
land, and am panied TO state that both OBJ
servation and report confirm the alarming
fact that the potato crop is already seriously
affected with the blight. AS late. as fort
night since the young plants looked vigorous
and healthy, and hopes were generally en-
tertained that this years return would be
unusually productive. More recently the
leaves exhibited rusty deposits in small spots,
varying in size from the eighth to the fourth
part of an inch in diameter. These spots
have gradually spread out, until they have
covered the whole surface of the leaf, which
emits a rank, fetid odor. i saw on Sunday
last a large field of potatoes ON the farm Of
Mr.. Gonyers, Castletown, which were put
down last january literally burned to the
ground by this process of infection. Passing
along the roads the smell given out by the
potato plant is most offensive. Several small
districts have not, am happy to say, been
attacked; but generally speaking the blight
y general, and great alarm prevails among
the farming classes. .avfd % iauH ysa. bib 20

PECULIAR FACTS CoNcERING Tornado
The Warren (Ohio) Chronicle, of late date,
speaking of the recent tornado in Trumbull
County, says;
The following facts concerning this tornado,
although they may be common to all storms
of the kind, we have never seen noticed by
the press. Where its devastations commenced
its power was greatest, AND its track was mar
rowest. The depot ana grocery buildings at
Braceville were lifted high in the air, and
scattered in thousands Of fragments some
carried miles away, while those at the other
end of its track were simply thrown down,
and no part of them borne far from their
original standing places. The track near its
starting point is narrow, not exceeding ten.
rods, while in Lordstown it is at least four
times that width. In the center of the track
the forest trees are thrown in all directions
crossing each other ut all points; while at the
sides, nearly every tree has fallen inwardly, its
ton pointing -toward the center, Its direc-
tiOn was the same rs that of nearly ALL the
tornadoes which have occurred this season,
namely, from the northwest to the south
east. BY looking on O map Of Trumbull
County, and q line drawn on the map from

Wealth Of The Gold DIeslnes in Australia

Wealth Of the Gold DfgginGs In Australia
moA writer in the San Antonio Ledger, long
a resident in .trizonia, alluding to the late
excitement concerning the discovery of new
gold diggings in that Territory, says;
That gold exists there have no doubt--the
country in the vicinity is a gold-bearing re-
gion--but whether or notit exists there in
such quantities as will pay the miner for the
privations and hardships he must necessarily
endure, in travelling to aud from the mines,
and while remaining there ] am not able to
say. 1t must be borne In mind that Arizonia
is one of the dryest regions in America; save
the ella, II does not contain a constantly
running stream Of any consequence, west Of
the Rio Grande. p Rain is rarely ever known
there, except in the rainy season, which
usually commences about the lst of July,
and terminates with August.
During this season the mountain streams
(dry creeks) are filed and at times the whole
country Is deluged, and there will be an
abundance of water to wash the gold. At
the close Of the rainy season, the mountain
creeks will cease to run--water will exist
nowhere but in the deep holes Of the creek
beds and in mountain golches, where 1t may
remain for month or two. There are, how
ever, few springs or wells, in the Ter
ritory, affording sufficient water for drinking
and culinary purposes. From what | have
seen of the country conclude that mining
can not be carried on there successfully at any
season, andnot at all for more than three
months in the year. Perhaps gold may be
obtained at other times by the process known
to miners as "dry Washing" but the dust
must be unusually rich, aud the gold coarse.
Water will be the great desideratum.

A UNIQUE French Drama-Success Of the

"Daughter of the Devil.
The Paris correspondent writes thus of a
new drama, now running in that city; ..

of the others are located in region Of "crea-

dramatists imagination TO picture the domin-

shape. At the Varieties, the thing is done so
completely, that the spectator is tempted to
believe the picture a faithful copy of photo
graphs taken on the spot.
As the curtain rises, we are edited with a

"A VAIN BARONESS, IMPROVING UPON Mo-
LIERE.-The Paris correspondent of the New
Orleans Della observes:
At recent private performance of one of
Moilere's plays, under the roof of the Count
de L., one OF the actresses, the Baroness de
M. had used every art of intrigue and diplo-
macy, to obtain the role of the heroine, but
was unsuccessful and in obedience to the
rules of good breeding, found herself obliged
to accept small part, in which she had lit
tie more than a dozen lines to repeat in the
whole comedy. AT the rehearsa1s, Madame
de M. acquitted herself very properly, and
recited her dozen lines with exact fidelity.
But, on the evening of the performance, when
the drawing-room of the Count dc l.. was
crowded with titled ladies and gentlemen,
assembled te witness the representation, the
Baroness took sweet revenge for the slight
which had been put upon her. She had
secretly "written up" her part, and to every
line of the original she had tackled on
fifty of her own composition, which, when
ever it was her cue to speak, she de-
claimed with as much coolness and unction
as if Moliere himself had set them down. BY
this little device, the adroit lady doubly sue
ceeded In attracting the attention of the au-
dience, made the performance nearly an
hour longer than it should have been, and
created, out of an insignificant part, the
most wordy character In the play. SO the
willy Baroness triumphed; but she will not
be apt to obtain another drawing-room en-
gagement for some time to come.
