The Pacific Railroad.

Many Of our readers, who must be some
what mystiied by the numerous ramifica-
tions of the Pacific Railroad, will find
the following sketch of the original bill
and its amendment, aided by map of
the Territories, an Ineligible guide to it's
route.
Congress, by an act Apr owed July 1st
1862, and an amendatory act approved
July I'd 1864, provided for the construc-
ton of railroad from the Missouri river
to the navigable waters of the Pacific, by
authorizing the incorporation of a COM
pany to construct line of railroad from
Omaha City in Nebraska Territory, to the
western border of the state of Ncvada;
and by authorizing the Central Pacific
Railroad Company of California to con-
struct a road from the navigable waters of
the western terminus of the Sacramento
river, to the above mentioned route and
the Pawnee Western Railroad company
to construct q branch road to Kansas City
to unite with the main trunk on the Tooth
meridian; and the Hannibal and St. Jo-
seph and Pacific Railroad Company of
Missouri to construct branch road
through Kansas to connect with the Kan
sas branch, or with the main trunk and
also authorizing the Union Pacific Rail
road Company, or other legally authorized
company to be indicated by the President
of the United States, to construct road
from Sioux City in the state Of Iowa, to
unite with the main trunk line not further
west that the Tooth meridian--this main
trunk railroad and branches to be so con
structed as to form one continuous railroad
of the same gauge from the nsvigable
waters Of the Pacific to the Missouri river
and there connecting with the main lines
extending to the principal cities on the
Atlantic coast.

Bridget Mack, girl aged Il years who,
was confined in that portion of the Tombs
known as ''the Magdalen." on a charge of
petty larceny, succeeded in breaking the

then removed the grating. Climbing up
the chimney, she emerged on the roof and
after taking two leaps of five and ten feet
each, to clear intervening chasms, and
scrambling over the roof size stood on the
parapet Of the prison wall at the height Of
over thirty feet Without hesitating for a
moment. she sprang from the parapet to the
grass-plat underneath, alighting unhurt,
and made her escape. Later in the day,
she was arrested in Jackson, street, by Mr..
James Finley, clerk of the prison, and com

The Silver Rule.

Kind Heaven, in mercy to tho fool,
Gave him, Pve heard an Indian say,
Guide of his life, silver rule;
The fool, he threw the rule away
What was the rule? To hold his tongue,
And listen to what others say.
The wise man found the rule, and sits
Silent, and hears fools talk away.

a cylinder opening and shutting at will, in
which melted iron is poured A rapid rota-

the direction Of the axis Of the apparatus,
while it forces it to adhere to the sides Of the
cylinder and to assume its form Refrigera-

Nor AS MODEST AS HIS FATHER.-Thers
appears to be young Grant, son of the
Lieutenant General, who has high appre-
citation of the merits of his father, and an
estimate that is not reduced by shrinking
modesty of the consequence of the family
In substantiation of this we quote from the
Quebec correspondent of the Boston Aduer-
ttser:
ssThe people at the Wateryille station
were so intently employed in staring at the
General, that they forgot all about cheering
until little Jesse Grant-the pet of the fam
lily and of the party-who was standing be-
hind his father on the platform, flung his
hat up and screamed out in his shrill, child
ish voice; "Three: cheers for General
Grant and family This loosed the tongue
Of the people, and the cheers were heartily
given"

UNDERGROUND CRY RAILwAYs-Pen

They run early and late On the under

How TO RELIEVE THE EYES From
SPARKS. A gentleman connected with the
press, lately got cinder in his eye which
caused him great pain. He was relieved in
half minute without further pain, by
the following process friend raised
the upper lid, on the inner surface of
which the mote or speck Of dirt will al
most invariably be found to adhere then
push the lower lid up under the eyeball,
and close under the other, when the eye
lashes of the latter will brush out the
foreign substance, almost certainly on the
first trial. No pain is experienced, nor
can any possible injury be done to the
eye by the process, while the common
method of pushing pin-head wrapped
in a handkerchief, under the lid, causes
great pain, and often injury to the eye

a Movement to Abolish EX-
press Companies.

The trunk lines of railroad have now
under discussion through q committee, the
most efficient and speedy way of Kidding
themselves of an abuse under which they
have suffered until it has become unbear-
able. 1t is proposed to cut off the COM
missions exacted from railroad companies
by swarm of ''despatches, Expresses
Through lines" etc., by which merchants
are humbugged and railways defrauded
Of the business belonging to them. The
freight intrusted to them travels 70 faster
than ordinary railway freight, and it will
be to the advantage of merchants to place
their goods into the immediate possession
of the roads. The following are the names
of the committee, rs far as selected; Mr..
Barker for the New York Central; Mr..
Diven for the Erie; Mr.. Harlan for the
Pennsylvania Central and Mr.. Garrett
for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Every railway stakeholder has an interest
in the success of this movement, which
will restore to whom it belongs many mil
lions annually, which now goes to organi
cations whose only capital is sign-board.
The only labor they perform is the col
lection and distribution of large dividends
by few rapacious shareholders. Every
road in the United States ought to be pre-
pared to receipt for about everything that
is moved by Express" and thus secure
to themselves the profits of o traffic which
makes express stocks sell at 800 per cent.
while railroads doing the work get barely
7 per cent, with occasionally an omission
to pay anything.-N. I. Tribune.

STEEL RAILs.-The Pennsylvania rail
road is the first in this country to try the
experiment of steel rails. A lot Of about
one hundred and fifty tons of cast-steel
rails was procured near the close of the
1868, but some delay was experienced in
slotting them TO receive the chairs and
spikes, they were not laid down until the
early part of the past summer, when they
were placed on slidings in the yards at Al
toona and Pittsburgh, where they would
be subjected to considerable use. These
rails appearing very brittle, it was not
deemed expedient to place them in the
main track where they would be passed
over by trains at high rate of speed
none of them, however, have been broken
in the track, and they exhibit little or no
appearance of wear.
Some other steel rails have recently been
ordered, of quality combining more
toughness with sufficient degree of hard
ness, and experiments will be continued to
test the relative merits of the several de-
riptions of rail- Much confidence is felt
that the result of the trials will demonstrate
the superiority of the steel rails for gener-
al use. An experiment made some months
since to convert the upper surface Of iron
rails into steel, without affecting The
strength of the remaining portion of the
the metal, has not met with success. The
President of the Pennsylvania Road, in his
am ual report, speaks Of the successful tri-
al OF steel rails, but states that their great
cost at present precludes their general
introduction oil NewS.

How 1T WAS DoNE.-Perhaps the fol
lowing 0,od,ts operandi was written by Robert him
self:
Jenny sighed, and Robert seized her
Pretty little trembling hand;
Then with casping hands he squeezed her
Half reluctant form and--and--
''Loose me |" but he clasped the tighter.
"Jenny, say, wilt thou be mine?'
Theu hor beamlng face grew brighter,
And she whispered II am thine!"
Then they claspcd each other fondly,
Close together as two bricks,
And they kissed each other soundly,
And-I left them in that fix.
