A REMARKABLE SToRY.-How a

A REMARKABLE SToRy.-How a
Guillotine Mania Caused q Mans
Death The following story is told
by the Paris correspondent of Lon
don paper:
"Louis Francis Gosier has just
died at Doebling, Austria, at the age
of eighty-seven, from a guillotine
furorc. He was the son of servant
of the unfortunate Louis XVI, and
was born at Paris. The Revolution
burst out when he was only ten
years old his father was beheaded,
but his mother succeeded in reaching
Germany with her son. Luckily
enough she succeeded in saving a
part of her fortune, and she was thus
enabled to give good education to
her son. In very short time he
was appointed private secretary to an
eminent Austrian parsonage, and he
published in French a "History of
the French Revolution"
His patrimony allowing him to
live comfortably, he purchased at
Doebling a house, from which he
never went out since 1881. Only
two friends Of his were received, and
throug h them his eccentricities were
known. His house consisted of five
rooms. He had devoted the largest
one to the perfection of the guillotine;
that room was full of beams, ropes,
and head choppers. Every time he
improved the deadly instrument to
his satisfaction he babe his friends
bring him cats and dogs, which he
beheaded with his machine. During
these trials he was so melted to kill
that once he threw himself upon one
of his friends, with the intention to
cut his head off; that friend escaped,
thanks to his superior strength. He
used to wallow in the blood of ami
mails, and he looked more like
cannibal than civilized man. He
left his bed only during two hours,
from three to five in the afternoon.
Those two hours he devoted to his
experiments. AS soon as five struck
he went to bed again. He ate, read
and wrote in bed. On Friday last
be was making some experiments
with his guillotine, when he fell i'll
he rang the bell, but when his SER
vant-maid came he was a corpse.
lie had been struck by an attack of
apoplexy. He always used to say
"My father would not have suffered
at all, had he been beheaded by my
own guillotine." What do you say
to that retrospective flial affection !'

Progress Of tho California End or III q
pacinc Railway.

A writer in the Grass Valley California;
Union, speaking Of the progress of the work
on the Central Pacific, says:
A gentleman who had occasion TO travel
along the line Of the Pacific Railroad, be-
yond the summit, recently, informs us that a
vast amount of work has and is being done
tie present season. He estimates the work
ing force Mt not less than 10000 men. Be-
tween Cisco and Cobnrn's Station, a dis,
lance of twenty-one miles, it embraced the
heaviest work yet encountered including the
long tunnel at the summit, besides seven or
eight of shorter length. The summit tunnel
is far advanced toward completion-som
$50 feet of bottom only remaining to be Ia ken
out. The other tunnels are finished, or near.
~ SO, and from the summit down the eastern
slope as far as Coburns, it is believed the
track will be graded this season, if the wins
ter does not close earlier than usnal From
Cohnrn's eastward, down the Truckee toward
Crystal Peak, the track is graded aud ready
for the rails a distance of twenty-five miles
For this portion Of the road the rails have
been hauled by wagons from Cisco to Co.
burn s, and are being laid down. an engine
and construction train are at work, and al
ready about nine miles of track have been
laid from Coburns eastward-the raj s being
laid down at the rate of half mile per day
From Cisco to the summit the work Of con-
struetion is of the heaviest charaeter-the
rock-ribbed mountain forming a formidable
barrier 10 the construction OF q railroad, but
the work is projected as energetically as pos
si5le in view of the obstacles to be overcome.
1t is not believed that this division Of the
road can be completed this season: and as
tie deep SHOWS Of mid winter will compel
suspension of the work upon it, which will
not melt away before the summer Of next
year, it is considered safe to say the conaec-
lion Of rail will not be made over the summit
before the first of July, 1868. This accom-
plished, the company can, for the first time,
make distance rapid, in the construction of
the road, and at The close Of next year it is
confidently believed the locomotive will be
one hundred and fifty miles beyond the
Truckee. This is certainly encouraging for
rail to the Eastern STATES in the year 1870.
