THE BUILDING or THE PACIFIC
RAILROAD ACROSS PLAINS.
There has been nothing 10 all the his
tory OF civilization TO match the rapid
construction OF the Pacific railruad from
the Missouri river TO the Rocky noun
tsins this yes.r. We give some details,
that helghtan the marvel of the great
ieat, from the Chicago Tribune:
The first forty miles OF track we're not
| laid until January, 1866, and it was in
deed the middle Of April before track
1 laying commenced in earness. From
that time the work has gone on with
unexampled rapidity. 1t was literally a
race against time, and time has been
.Qeaten. Two hundred and ten miles of
lex have been laid in one hundred con-
~secutive days, except Sundays.
During that time the company have
erected all their necessary bui dings in
The most substantial and perfect sU7le,
az the eastern terminus, Omaha. anne
IDEA of the extent of these s~h1psOmay
be cleaned from the fact that they are
now turning Uut here one complete car
per diem. On the building of The road,
the working force, at times equal to H.
600 men, has been employed. Nine
steam saw mills have been pat lip by
I the company, and, with a dozen others,
kept steadily running for work on the
road. Two steamboats, have beefl bought,
and several Others constantly chartered
by the company, and a very army OF
men on the lines of transportation have
/ had the duty all the while Of seeing that
the material shipped for the road should
be hurried along. The actual amount
paid in freiEnts on iron alone, during
the last year, was 81, 800, 600, and AS a
single item, showing the enormous cost,
much Of the iron cost f0rty-siI dollars
per ton for transportation from The place
Of purchase to Omaha.
There are already twenty-one locOmo-
/ tfves on the line, manufactured at Sche-
uectady, y. Y; Paterson, New Jersey;
! Lancaster, Pa, and Boston, Miss; also
/ about two htindred cars of all kinds. It
cost from $50 to $1,000 to get each Of the
locomOtivesUp from st. Joseph to Omaha,
"a distance Of two hundred and twenty
i've miles; $3.50 10 Sl75 each for bringing
Cd platform cars, and as for the, passen-
ger cars, the company had themselves to
duv a boat, the MetamOra, Tor their
I transportation, the river furnishing MOTH
| ing which could be used Tor the purpose.
For sixty roles down and one hundred
and nifty up the Missouri river from
I Omaha, all the force which could be OBJ
I tanned has been steadily at WORK, all this
! year 10 getting out ties, and now great
! numbers are being obtained three hun
I dred miles west Of Omaha. Those from
the lest souuie are all Of cedar, an excel
lent and durable material, and finding
them near the line will be a great advsn-
taCe 10 the builders of the road. The av~
erage cost Of ties has been 81 % to 81 50
/ each. To-day the road is 81 IN les west
OF Omaha. 1t is graded and ready for
! track LAYING 100 miles further. The rail
is going down at the rate of a mile and
| th~ree-Quarters 70 two miles per diem, and
only about $50 miles further, 1t most,
will bring them to the base of the Rocky
mountains.

The American astronomers Of the coast
survey have determined, by can Of
the transatlantic cable, the difference
Of longitude between Yalentia, Ireland,
and Hearts Content Newfoundland.
The difference has been found to be two
hours, dfty-one minutes, nfty-six sec
onds and a half. BY this means the diff
ference Of Longitude between the different
points Of Europe aud America may be
sscertained with rigorous exactness. The
duration Of the passage Of the electric
spark by the Atlantic cable is one-third
Of a second. This is ascertained from
astronomical observations made at the
extremities Of the cable.

Rev. DR.. Butler the well-known Methodist
missionary who established the mission of that
church in India in 1856, recently returned to

but after while ceased to tear the garment.
He is now kept by gentleman in the city of

rms is certainly an anomalous fact in natur.
al history, although it is said that four similar
cases are known to have occurred in India
presenting the same general facts. 80.
Wolves abound in India, where the inhabit.
ants live wholly in the cities and villages; and
at the approach of night all persons employed
IN the open country retire to these clusters o.
houses, or nuts, and these rowing and ferociouS
animals find free range. 1t frequently han.

IN the schedules furnished for recording the
mortality in each place, one column is headed
Carried off by wolves"
DIR. Butte RS theory of this strange case is
that she-w off probably carried off this person
when he was an infant, but that before she de-
voured her prey, the child instinctively search
ed for food. Beginning to draw its nourish.
ment, it awoke in the wolf the maternal in.
stinct which led to the preservation of its life
and thus the boy lived and grew.

POET II "


ny A DECIDEDLY CONFIRMED OLD BACHELOR.
Not laugh was heard, not joyous note,
As onr friend 10 the bridal we hurried;
Nat n Wit discharged his farewell shot,
AS the bachelor went to be married.
We married him quietly to save his fright,
Our heads from the sad sight turning;
And we sighed as We stood by the lamps dim light
To think he not more discerning.
To think thata bachelor free and bright,
And shy OF the sex as we found him,
Should there at the altar, at dead OF night,
Be caught in the snare that bound him.
Few and short were the words we said,
Though of wine and cake partaknS, -,
We escorted him home from the scene OF aie'o'
While his knees wer c awfully shaking
Slowly and sadly We marched him down
From the first to the lowermost story;
And we never have heard or seen the poor man
Whom we left alone in his glory. ..I t.s.--l
