the full Geographic dispatches OF the Associated
Press, and regular correspondence from Washington

During the session OF the legislature it will have spe-
cial dispatches every night containing the substance
of the days proceedings. Any movement that looks
to the aterial growth of the State always finds in
the Press hearty advocate. 1t should have large

These bonds are based upon the most vital and
valuable part of the Grand National Pacific Rail-
road, soon to become the main channel OF commu-
nication on the continent.
H. The local settlement and the business there
from Is remarkably large and profitable, and must
constantly increase. -Ha NlE'UIE
ILL., The hardest part Of the road ia now built and
the VII be rapidly carried forward over
~. The greater part of the means necessary TO
build the road isproyided by the U. S. Government
upon subordinate lien.
v. The State and chief cities of California have
without lien.
vi. The grant of land is destined at an early iav
TO prove OF far greater market value than the total
ofthe first mortgage bonds issued upon the road and
equipments. - F-a.a % rs tNsB7H 's7s'>.s'~f.
VII This Road lies altogether among the gold
and slyer producing regions, and its revenues are
received In coin.
WIN. The management of this Company has been
distinguished TOR prudence and economy; and the

AT this time they yield nearly
Nine Per Cent. upon the Iavesanaent.
These Bonds bid fair to attain he most prominent
position among the non-speculative investments Of
the country, and will be actively dealt in at the
money centers in Europe.
Holders of Government Securities have an oppor-
tunity of exchanging them for Central Pacific Bonds

Nothing more quickly and favorably
speaks for you than the evidence Of good
breeding. Nothing more surely and
loudly speaks against you than the want
of it. Therefore, carefully observe the
following rules:
/. Always stick your nose close up into
a mans face when you speak to him, SC
that he may not only catch the sound OF
your voice, but the odor of your breath
also.
2. Always keep your mouth open and
your tongue wayging like the clapper on
a ducks tail, vhether you have anything
to say or not, because, as, matter of
course. what ever you say is Of vastly
more Importance than anything anybody
else can say.
3. Never listen to the conversation Of
others upon any subject for more than a
minute at time without interruptinx and
telling them all about it; thus showing
them that they are very ignorant and you
are very wise.
Ii you meet party Of acquaintances,
and one Of them has on a new coat, step
close up to him rub your hand down his
back, and ask him how much his coat
cost, where he got it, and then ask him
why he didn't have it cut in some other
style.
This style of good breeding will soon
gain you host Of friends who will always
have pressing engagement on hand
whenever you meet them!

From the Iowa Falls Sentinel we clip
the following article relative to strange
disease that has seized upon cattle in
Hardin county, which proves fatal in q
few hours:
"Mr. John Grigcs, who resides some
seven miles east Of here. has lost eight
head by the scourge within few days
past. We hear that they are attacked
suddenly, and exhibit sighns of great pain
until relieved by death, which comes in q
few hours. Mr.. Griggs thinks the ailment
a peculiar type Of cholera, and is fearful
that he may lose his entire herd. Some
Of his neighbors have also lost several
hogs with like diseases. In Buckeye

lost three head Of cattle, and they inform
us that others in their neighborLood have

PRooF READING.-There are a good
many people who think proof reading one
of the easiest things in the world, and
who get very impatient over mistakes in
newspapers. A writer in the GALAXY gives
some very interesting instances Of typo
graphical errors. He mentions one edi-
ton of the Bible that contained 60OO mis-
takes. He gives the following example Of
the dif6cultirs in the way of getting out a
perfect book. Some professors Of the uni
versity of Edingburg resolved to publish
book which sho,ld be model Of typo.
graphical accuracy. Six proof readers
were employed, and after it was thought
to be perfect, sheets were posted up in the
hall Of the university, and reward Of
two hundred and City dollars was offered
for every mistake that should be discover
ed. When the book was printed it was
found that it contained several errors, one
being in the title page, another in the first
line Of the chapter. The only books that
are free from errors are the Oxford edi-
ton of the Bible, o London and Leipsic
Horace, and an American reprint Of
Dante.

Railway ROLLING SrocKs.-Therc are
in daily use on the $1,000 miles of
railway in the United States not less than
100000 truck and car wheels, under
$500 locomotives. $500 passenger cars,
200 baggage end express cars, and l6O,.
900 freight cars. Available statistics show
that passenger cars make an annual miles
age Of 2S, 400 miles, or SS IS 100 miles
per day of 800 days per annum; the
average load borne on each car wheel to
be 81 tons. With this load the average
use of wheel is 5000 miles, or $500
years. On trains running at Express
speed the average life does not exceed ten
months service, while wheels under tender
trucks have a lie Of eighteen months.
Under freight service in the state OF New
York, with an annual train mileage Of
J. ,4S3, l23 miles, transporting 1876 tons
of freight per train, the annual mileage
per car was ii GAG miles, each wheel bear
ing an average load of l-47 tons, which
gives sos years as the life of freight
wheel. corresponding with the experience
of one of the principal roads in the state.
But assuming the average life Of car
wheels under all kinds OF service, as being
five years, total number of whe" lis
worn out annually in the United States
will not be less than 25O,OOO. At an
average cost Of SIS per wheel, allowing
one. half for their value for the old wheel,
the annual loss may be stated at g, $780,
0OO.
