We are, is it not folly to hesitate TO avail

use them against us, with the same guar

all objections to the policy. We mus
choose between their fighting for US OF
against US, for if we drift along with oul

months before the enemy will overruI
territory enough to enable him to double

INDIAN RAILRoADs.--The through line
from Lahore to Mooltan on the Indus, is
now in operation. The branch of the
Great Bombay and Calcutta, which pierces
the cotton country of Nagpore, is making
great progress and the contractors who
have this line from Lahore or Emritser to
Mesrut and Delhi, in hand, are hard at
work. The only break which remains to
be considered, is that along the desert side
of the Indus. from Mooltan to Kotree, the
the terminus of the line Kurrachee; and
his will soon have to be connected by iron
links. Then Calcutta will be in direct
communication by rail with Kurrachee,
1000 miles off. Whether we look at the
magnitude and solidity of these works,
or at the distance they traverse, the rail-
roads of India far surpass any like works
in Europe, and closely compete with the
greatest projected works in America. They
will cover FIVE thousand miles and cost

American Wonders.

The greatest cataract in the world is
the Falls OF Niagara, where the water
from the great upper lakes forms river
of three quarters of a mile wide, and then
being suddenly contracted, plunges over
the rocks in two columns to the depth of
ITO feet each.
The greatest cave in the word is the
Mammoth Cave of Kentucky, where one
can make voyage on waters of subter-
ranean river, and catch fish without eyes
The greatest river in the world is the
Mississippi, 4, 100 miles in length
The largest Valley in the world is the
Valley of the Mississippi. It contains
SOC, 900 square miles, and is one of the
most fertile and profitable regious on the
inhabited globe.
The largest lake in The world is Lake
Superior, which is truly an inland sea,
it being 430 miles in length, and 1000
feet deep.
The greatest natural bridge in theworld
is the Natural Bridge over Cedar Greek
in Virginia. 1t extends across a chasm
80 feet in width and $50 feet in depth, at
the bottom Of which the creek flows.
The greatest mass of solid iron in the
world is the Iron Mountain Of Missouri
It is $50 feet high and two miles in cir
cult.
The largest number of whale ships in
the world is sent out by Nantucket and
New Bedford.
The largest single volume ever publish
ed is Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, an

bibles
The largest aqueduct in the world is the
Croton Aqueduct in New York. It's length
is forty and one half miles, and it cost

The most remarkable reversal of ma
lures laws ever known--that of making
water run up hill''-is now going forward
in the case of the river-CHIcAao. In
stead of flowing into Lake Michigan as
nature made it, in couple Of years it
will be made to draw water from the Lake

I'LL NEVER USE TOBACCO.

"ktll never use tobacco, no,
1t Is nasty weed;
I'll never put it In my mouth"
Said little Robert Reid.
Why, there was idle jerry Jones,
AS dirty as pig,
Who smoked when only ten years old,
And thought it made him big
lied puff along the open street,
As If he had no shame;
He'd sit beside the tavern door,
And there he'd do the game.
He'd spend b Ia time and money 100,
And make his mother sad;
She feared worthless man would come
Of such q worthless lad.
"Oh no, I'll never smoke or chew,
Ills very wrong indeed;
1t hurts the health, it makes bad breath, .
