The Pacific Railroad will have to hurry

invented Tor use ON the plains. It has
two upright jib sails, and sail on each
spoke ~ the two wheels on one side Of
the wagon, With steering gear acting on
the foswnrd wheels, and provisions for
transferring the wheel sails to the oppo-
site wheels. The inventor is Charles
p. Mseowitslky, . German who has been
. sailor, aad has spent several years in
traversing the plains. He relics on the
ascastainsd consistency Of the prevalent
winds on the great plains over the

TWENTY YEARS AGO.

How woudrous are the changes, Jim,
Since twenty years ago,
When gals wore WOODEN dresses, jim,
And boys wore pants Of tow;
WLsu sboes werc made Of calf skin,
And socks OF hcmespun WOOL,
Aud children did haif-day's work
Before the hour of school.
The oils took music lessons, Jim,
Upon the spinning wheel,
Md practiced late aud early, Jim,
On the spindle, swift and reel;
The boys would ride bareback 10 mill,
4 dozen miles or SO,
Ar.l hurry of before twas day,
Sons twenty years ago.
The people rode to meeting, jim,
II sleds instead Of sieighs;
And wagons rode as easy, Jim,
A buggiss now-a-days,
And oxeu answered well for teams,
Though now they'd be too slow,
For people lived mot half 50 fast.
Soms twenty years ego.
q, well do remember, Jtm,
That Wilson's patent stove,
That fssher bought and paid for, Jim,
In cloth cur gals had wove;
And how the neighbors wondered,
When we got the thing to gol
They said 'twould burst and kill Us ALL
Some twenty years ago.
Yes, everything is different, JIM
From what it used to was,
For men are always tampering, jim,
With Gods great natural laws;
But what on earth we're cunning to-
Does anybody know
Fer everything has changed SO much'

STARTLING FREAK OF NATURE-W
learned yesterday from gentleman
of undoubted veracity, and who is &C
quainted with the facts we are about
to relate, of one of the most wonder
full freaks of nature on record, which
occurred in West Tennessee.
The incident happened in one Of
the most respectable families in that
section, and its features are so re-
voting that very few would readily
believe that such thing could posi-
bly, occur. Strange as it may seem,
however, we are assured of its au.
thenticity, and lay it before the public
as it came to us
A lady living near Trenton was, q
few nights since, delivered of child,
the head of which, and the body from
the abdomen up, were those of a living
rattlesnake, while the lower limbs
were those of human being. The
strange object has all the character
istics and appearance of snake, is
still alive, and will probably live and
grow to its natural size The lady is
rapidly recovering her health.
This startling lusus nature is ac-
counted for by the fact that the moth
er, some time previous to her confne-
ment, narrowly escaped the fangs of a
huge rattlesnake, and was so terrified
by the occurrence that she became
subject to fits.
We are not permitted to mention
any names in connection with this re-
markable occurrence, the delicacy of
the subject warranting us in emitting
them.

A RARE WIFE.-The following Incl
dent is related in the ''back country, ,
in connection with the recent snow
storm. At Mount Pleasant, a little
village between Shiffnal and yelling
ton, there lived an aged couple named
Shepherd, the husband being seventy
one years of age, and the wife one
year younger. Shepherd is engaged
as a furnace tender at the Old Park
company's works, and on Saturday
night week he went on duty as usual
his time being up at six on the fol
lowing morning. 1t will be remem.
bered that during the night of Satur-
day week snow fell heavily, accompa-
MED by violent gusts Of wind, the snow
forming deep drifts in exposed pla-
ces. The old woman, on waking
early on Saturday morning, perceived
this state of things, and became anx-
ious for the safety of her husband,
who would have to cross two or three
fields on his way home. She got up
lit the fire, and prepared everything
for her husbands breakfast, and when
Ill this was done, found out that there
was yet an hour before he would be at
home. Sne thereupon lit lantern,
and, taking with her a shovel, set to
work, and cleared path through the,
snow to the foundry, where her hus-
band was at work, a distance of a
quarter Of mile, completing her task
in time to enable the old man ''to walk
home comfortably" as she said.

We have said that if the Southern
people will act wisely, in reference to
the Reconstruction Plan, they will
completely deprive Thad. Stevens, the
agrarian leader of the power to ac-
complish the diabolical schemes which
he is meditating against them. The
ablest men of the Republican party
have shown a determination not to
cooperate with him if the South will
comply with the acquisitions of the
Government in the matter of reorgan-
ization; and many of tile most infu-
entail journals of that party, are dis
carding him as an unsafe leader. His
recent letter declaring that the Recon
struction Laws do not commit him to
the policy Of observing them as f.
nal settlement of the sectional contro-
versy, has been the occasion of bitter
comments on his course by influential
Republican news papers. The Chicago
Tribune, speaking of his last effusion
of malignity says
"We regard this letter of Mr.. Ste
vens as pernicious in its tendency, and
calculated to discourage the thousands
of white men in the South who are
now honestly striving to meet all the
requirements of the reconstruction
law. 1t betrays malice rather than
craftsmanship, hatred and disappoint-
ed revenge rather than desire to
bind up the wounds caused by the
rebellion, and restore the republic on
the basis of universal justice. So far
as his letter purports to be criticism
on Mr.. Wilson's reported remarks, it
is hypocritical and unjust, and its evil
dent intention is to impair the influ-
ence and usefulness of the senator
among the people of the South.
The Cleveland Herald delivers the
following well-aimed blow:
"Stevens has come to be mere
marplot. The country could pardon
him, on account of his age, if his
mischievous intermeddling affected
only individual interests; but when
the peace of the country and the
honor of Congress are at stake, the
offence becomes so henious as to de-
mand the indignant protest of every
man who is honest in his endeavors
at reconstruction, or who believes in
the fulfllment of a deliberate pledge.
Stevens has become a sour old man,
seeking confscation of rebel property
in revenge for the loss of his iron mill,
and thoroughly embittered at the re-
ception of his last speech on confisca-
ton, which Congress allowed a read
ing at the Clerks desk, but which fell
on the country generally as noiselessly
and as nat as rotten squash"

CoTToN IMPoRTs.-We have now a com.
plete return of the value of the raw cotton
imported in 1866, the total having been a
521, 406l. as compared with 66s032 1881 in
1865, 78, 203, 724I in 1864, S. 277 1851 in 1868,
81, O93, O45l in 1862, 1888. 1881 in 1861, 49,
49, 1891 in 1860, "a $50, 1851 in 1859, 30,106,-
96el in 1858, and 29,2Ss sri in 1857. The
immense increase In the prices expended for
raw cotton will not escape attention, while
last years expenditure was almost the
heaviest on record. OF the vast amount
paid last year for raw cotton, the United
States absorbed 34.9I7 ,906t while the cor
responding total for 1865 was 1905, ASH
and foI 1861 LII 1901. The value of the
raw cotton received last year from British
India was set down 1T 1920, 547l, as COM
pared with 25,005 1851 in 1865, and 1924, 1921
in 1864. None of the new cotton fields ap-
pear to hold their own to any extent except
India the Bahamas, Mexico, China, &c :,
seem to be fast receding to their old insig-
nifcance as centres of production. A con-
siderable quantity of cotton was still re-
ceived, however, last year from Brazil and
Egypt.-MOrgan's British Trade Journal,
