THE TIMBER OF THE AMAZON CoUNTRY.-ln his
lecture before the Brooklyn Mercantile Library
Association Professor Agassiz said With re-
gard to timber, he had seen on exhibition at
Para one hundred and seventeen kinds of costly
timber some Of them of the most beautiful grain,
which had been cut down from piece of ground
half a mile square. He had himself brought
home a mere accidental collection in the valley
of the Amazon, accidental, because botany was
not the object of his survey. What was true Of
timbers was equally true of textile fabrics

GOING HOME BY RAILRoAD.-When the charter
was obtained for the construction of the Pacific
Railroad it was the common remark Of middle
aged people: - The work will not be finished
in my day my children may live to see it COM
pieted, and travel by rail across the continent.
Ten years was named the shortest time, but
the public mind was slow to except less than 20
to 80 years as the time required to execute so
gigantic an undertaking.
The distance from Sacramento to New York,
by the Trans-Continental route, is 3l29 miles.
VI the entire distance, 1887 miles now COM
pleted and in running order; so that there re-
mains now l,252 miles to be built. During the
present summer, all the heavy work in the Sler-
ras will have been completed, and the grade
will pass out to the great table land, where the
work is comparatively easy.
The work on the Atlantic end will reach the
Rocky Mountains towards the latter part of the
coming summer; but no obstacles greater than
those found in the Serras are likely to be en-
countered, and the appropriation being wisely
apportioned to the difficulties of the work, there
is no lack Of financial stimulus even among the
mountains. The heaviest work will of course
exhaust the appropriation of S48,000 per mile,
and the additional value Of 1000 acres OF land
but the lighter work of the foothills and the
plains puts the balance again on the right side.
In such unequal work it is not easy to estimate
the ratio of progress. 1t may be noted, however,
that the ratio has steadily increased during the
past year, DOtH companies STRIVING LOT the great
er number of miles. Sanguine who have
watched these operations closely, predict that
the entire gap will be filed within two years
But allowing the margin Of year for contingent
cies, the whole road is likely to be COM
peted early in the Of 1870, or in three years
from this time.
Thus the men who predicted that they should
not live to this road finished, will have a
chance to ride it before their boards are
fairly gray. Three thousand miles at best may
be weary ride, and somewhat exhausting to the
nervous forces. But the first week at sea is usu-
ally devoted to the horrors OF sea-sckness
week on the railroad takes US across the CONT
nent- Something of the monotony is relieved
by sightseeing, and the tediousness is mitgated
by sleeping and other modern improve
ments Excursion parties can halt at Salt Lake
and Omaha, and from the latter place. can go
down the river far they choose by steam
boat, and then elect by what route they will
complete the journey to New York. Even now,
the possibility of going home by rail sounds
strangely, and some of us will have to make
the journey once at least, before shall fully
compass the magnificent reality. Will there be
restaurants in the wilderness? or will parties
take their lunch baskets? And what will
constitute the makeup and outfit with the Incl
dental comforts, for the Continental jaunt of
1900 miles ?-Sdn Francisco Bultetn

To utter all it would
Oh these preventing bonds Of clay

Must ever be unsaid.
These glowing. glowing autumn hours
These wildering, gorgeous days
This dainty show OF gorgeous flowers.
As though with dusty, golden showers
The air were all a-blaze
This living, shining, FURNISHED wood,
Tricked with thousand dyes
Its strong ribs laced with crimson sheen,
Ard decked with gold and glittering green
Like k;ngly tapestries!
This tangled roof Of braided light
Above me richly flung
These glimpses of the skvs soft blue 4!
This quivering sunshine melting through
The wide earth, glory hung
How shall utter ali would?
Alas my struggling soul

As strives bird on broken wings

Philadelphia Manufactures.

We are somewhat astoni>hed to notice
that the Quaker city of Philadelphia puts
forth claim to being, not only the great
est manufacturing city on this continent,
but, with the exception of London, the
greatest In the world. We are all famiI-
lar with its advantages as a quiet and
pleasant place OF residence; but that it
should claim to be great industrial GEN.
tire, will be news to many. AS the matter
Is one, however, in which our merchants
are directly interested, and the consumers
OF goods indirectly, We will give brief
synopsis of its claims.
La 1860, according to the Census re-
turns, there we're in Philadelphia, 6,29S
manufactures having a capital of S73.-
3lo $3.50, which employed $4,000 hands,
and produced an annual value of $780,
oOU,OoO. Recently, Mr.. Edwin L. Freed
ley, we'll known author, has prepared a
volume of 700 pages, On the Manufactures
OF Phlladel phia, and demonstrated that,
in 1866, the factories produced over two
hundred millions of dollars of staple goods,
This is an astounding exhibit; 10 other
city on the American continent approxi-
mates this amount. In 1855, the State
of Massachusetts, including Boston, Lo.
well, and all her famous manufacturing
towns, did not produce more than two
hundred and forty millions. In 1860,
New York had only seven small Cotton
Goods Manufactures, and no Wooden
mills; Philadel phia is now the CONNER
cial centre of two hundred and sixtv Cot
ton and Woolen factories, AID has besides,
several thousand hand looms, of which
the annual product is equal to that of
seventy additional mills of average size.
The class of Dry Goods manufactured
in Philadelphia is of those low priced
staple goods which are especially adapted
to the wants of the people in the Middle,
Western, and Southern States. Millions
of yards of pautaloonery, cottonades,
checks and stripes, tickings, osnaburgs,
Kentucky jeans, and narrow textile fab
RIGS, are made there every year. OF
carpetings, the product amounts to Dearly
ten millions of dollars; of ready made
clothing, to eighteen millions; of refined
sugar, over twenty millions of boots and
shoes, over five millions of stoves, nearly
three millions. Philadelphia claims to
have the largest military goods manufac-
tory, the largest chemical factories, the
largest corIage factory, the largest book
selling house, ard the largest locomotive
works and machine shops in the United
States. 1t is quite evident that her prox-
unity to the coal mines ard iron beds, her
low rents and facilities afforded mechanics
for comfortable and economical living,
have given Philadelphia start in manu-
featuring which nothing but her want of
enterprise can Tetard. It Is moreover
avid hat hn al q
made in manufacturing, the Philadelphia
market is worthy the attention oe those
who wish to purchase goods at first haod.

WHAT AN INDUSTRIOUS MAN CAN DO
IN THE WEsT.-The Davenport Gazette
speaks of Mr. james Thompson, who
came from Pennsylvania to Scott county,
Iowa, dozen years ago, worth few hun
dred dollars. He now owns forty-four
farms, averaging 160 acres, or in all about
seven thousand acres of land, at least half
of which is under cultivation the whole
will be next year. The land lies "a Scott
and Cedar counties. The past year he
put under cultivation 2,200 acres of new
lan6. He is now having twenty farm
dwellings, of six rooms each, framed and
gotten ready in Davenport, so they can
be hauled to his farms, and set right up
for his tenants. The tenants get one
third the crop and two dollars an acre for
farming new land, and the same share of
the crops with seventy-6ve cents to one
dollar an acre for cultivated land.
