WHAT ARE WE Coming To?-Gen.
III. Carver, the father of the Pacific
Railroad, rs he offers to prove, writes
to nm Omaha paper of his future in
tentions:
'I mean to go right on, propose
and establish, il T live, as nearly as
possible, M airline route between
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, ION
the surface of which float nine-tenths
of all the commerce of the world, for
railroad, with track eight or ten
feet wide. The passenger cars on
this road will be travelling hotels,
whereas Pullman's cars are only sub
stitutes, and I first described them in
o pamphlet written and published at
Washington, twenty-one years ago,
last January. These passenger cars
will be very large and splendid, ac-
commodating from 800 to 400. and
even 500 passengers, with all the
comforts of any hotel in this, or any
other country. L will say to the
public, call this Utopian, vain, vision
ary, if you please. My first plan of
the present Pacific Railroad was cali
ed so, and laughed at four or five
years after I had begun to recon-
mend it, write articles for it, and in
oil ways to labor hard in its favor.
Further, I mean, if I live, when the
road is completed and all things in
order, to travel from the city of New
York, inside Of forty-eight hours.
We have got model car in New

How TO KEEP MEATS FRESH.
The Rural World advises house
keepers to immense fresh meat in
buttermilk. This will keep it sew
eral days, when the meat should
be changed.and fresh milk substi-
tuted. In this way beef, veal, ETC.,
can be kept for several weeks, and
it will be as sweet and fresh at
the end Of the time, as when first
put in. 1t is equally efiicacious in
the hottest weather.

Clothing soiled with tar or paint

airy soap, using a stiff brush, pro-
vided the stains are quite recent.
When, however, the offending
matter becomes fixed and dry, u
more potent agent is required.
The following may be relied up
on in all such cases, and its appli-
cation is easily made. T
To remove paint of white lead
or zinc which has become dry and
hard, and cannot be removed by
benzine, ether, or the bisulphide

may be used successfully. The

ately hot smoothing iron.. e

A Seller Sold.

An incident recently occurred
in a town on the Connecticut riv
er, which illustrates the danger of
practical joking.
A certain barber happening to
= be in a store, a clerk offered him a
bottle of bears oil.
The latter did not want it, but
being oyer-urge1, bought it and
paid for it,
-1On his opening it in his shop,
the oil was fouud to be lamp oil,
with a very rank smell. Nothing
was said of the shave the clerk
had practiced, and the barber
shaved along as usual until the
matter had been forgotten.
A few evenings since the clerk
went to the barber-shop to be
shaved, preparatory to ball.
After the harvest of the thick
beardy skin was reaped, the clerk
Strengthened himself up and ex-
claimed:
"Now, slap on the OIL"
A good handful was poured out,
slapped on" and rubbed in. A
second followed, but before it could
be rubbed in, the clerk smelt some
thing, and leaped from his chair
as if he had been shot, at the
same time giving .utterance to
sundry expletives coming under
the cognizance of the statute a.
gainst profane swearing.
The barber assured the enrag-
ed customer that he put bears oil
on his head, and from the very
+, bottle he had sold him. If it was
poor oil, it was the clerks fault.
There was no resisting this, and
the matter was settled by refund
ing the money paid for the oil,
and shampooning at the clerks
expense.
The clerk went to the ball, but
the rank lamp oil stuck to his
hair, and the snuffs of those who
came near him showed that the
barber was wicked when be sham
pooned him.
