KANSAS PAcFIc RAnRoAp-We see in q
California paper that the long line of snow
sheds recently built by the Central Pacific
Railroad; for the purpose OF securing uninter-
rupted travel during the winter months, has
been burned to the ground 1t is rather ques-
ton with the engineers whether the snow
sheds would prevent stoppage of travel by the
vast masses of snow which drift from the SER
ra Nevadas and the Rocky Mountains AS
soon as the snow falls we shall have uncertain
connection with the Californian coast. Ii
seems to us as impossible to contend win 'nese
wild demonstrations of nature as 1t was ior
Nonoleon 10 attempt to conquer Russian mid
winter If we propose to have road to the
Pacific. it must be a road that will run through
some milder climate. For this reason we are
disposed to give encouragement to the enter
prise of the Kansas Pacific Railway, which is
now building an extension to Denver, and will
| continue the road along the 35th parallel
through New Mexico and Arizona. The Kan.
sas Pacific road is built to point nearly zoo
miles beyond the Mississippi river, is first
class railway, is managed v it'll singular pru-
dence and care, and earns more than enough
| to pay the interest upon its new seven pei
cent. loan. 1t asks from the people of the
United States six and half millions of dol
lars TO enable it to make the desired connec
ton with Denver. If that connection can be
made we shall have tho Rocky Mountain;
linked with the Alleghanies, and in three OF
four years our people will have daily trains
INfrom New York to San Francisco, and "na
postpouemsnt on account of the weather."

Railroad Convention.

The necessity of the most direct practicable
line Of railway across the continent of North
America at its widest part, as the means OF
shortening to the lowest limit of time and ex.
pense the transit between the commercial
centers Of Europe and Asia, has been demon
strated by the superior speed of railway transit
over water carriage,-now rendered compare
lively easy of accomplishment, by the opening
of line of railway from the Mississippi to the
Pacific Ocean, ss..aa -.ta
The main land of the Continent of North
America extends over 63 degrees of longitude
equal to 319l statute miles, between the 45th
and 46th degree of North latitude. Lines Of
railroad are in progress, over the most direct
ronte from the Eastern shore of Nova Scotia to
Portland, Maine, from which point it is pro-
posed to construct line due West to the head
of Lake Champlain, passing through the Ossi-
pee Valley, Bristol, Woodstock and Rutland
to Whitehall, and thence to the basin of the
great Lakes at Oswego, thence by the most
direct route, along the South shore of Lake
Ontario, and across the Niagara and st. Clair
rivers by the most favorable line to tho city of
Chicago, from which a line of railway extends
to the Pacific Ocean at San Francisco, with
another line in contemplation, over still
shorter route by the Northern Pacific Railroad
to Puget's Sound. --s4
This plan of Trans Continental Railway
long in contemplation-will shorten the time
Of transit between England and Hong Kong
to thirty-three days, against forty-two days BY
the shortest possible route across the Eastern
Hemisphere, even on the completion of the
suez Canal, ensuring to the American route
the travel and the bulk of the most valuable
trade of China and Japan with the American
and European markets.

The GOLD ExcITEMENr.-AN New Yor,, A..
patch says the Gold Board opened at 10 o'c,oo,,
Saturday morning and appointed a committee
of three to wait ON the Assistant Treasurer
and urge him to postpone the sale of govern
ment gold to some future day. 1t was voted
that any price made that day woul1 not be recog.
nised by the Board. The Board then adjourn
ed until Monday at 10 g clock. This action
was taken in consequence of an announcement
from the President of the Gold Exchange
Bank that no clearing statement would be re-
ceived from dealers that day, as tho statements
received she day before were nearly all affected
by failures, and it is impossible yet to ascer-
tain balances. No failures have yet been off,
cially announced.
The panic in New York caused rush on the
banks of San Francisco, for gold telegraphic
transfers; but the banks refused to sell at any
price.

How TO PURCHASE CLOTHES WRINGER
In purchasing Clothes Wringer, we prefer
one with cog-wheels, as they greatly relieve
the rubber rolls from the strain that would
otherwise occur, and add much to the dura-
bility Of the machine
The next point is to see that the cog-wheels
are so arranged as not to fly apart when a large
article is passing between the rollers. 1t mat
tiers not whether the cog wheels are on one end
or both ends of the shaft; if the large article
disconnects them they are entirely useless
This is very important, for, the larger the arti-
Gle, the greater the strain therefore, if the cog
wheels separate so as to disconnect, they are of
no service when most needed. We have taken
some pains to examine the various wringers,
ard much prefer the "Universap as lately
improved, because it has long and strong gears
(ROwell's Patent Double Gear), and is the on
ly wringer with "patent stop for preventing
the cog-wheels from separating so far as to
lose their power.-[New England Farmer.
