That portion Of the Union Pacific Railroad

these large earnings are but mere hint Of
the future business Of the Company, when
the through line shall be complete and It's
legitimate connections perfected, is demon
strated by the earnings of the longest trunk
lines OF the East. The New York Central
earned, in 1865, 42i,25l per mile, the New

Central, ~, 475, the average for the three he
ING 32,5l2 per mile. Long railroads GOTH

profitable. The Union Pacific is much long

question of further railroad subsidies, gaye

SHORT DRESSES, HANDSOME Doors, AND
Coop HEALTH.-The ladies' shoemakers re-
joice in the existing length OF street cos
tunes, and say it has greatly increased their
trade. One was showing lady pair of
highly ornamented boots, for which he asked
an almost fabulous price, when he observed
that short dress had brought this style into
fashion; that three years since it would have
been impossible for him to dispose of such
boots; now he sold all he could make. In
deed with the long skirts, the ladies wore al
most anything on their feet, no matter how
shabby or patched: now it was very differ
ent, and he often had expensive boots thrown
back on his hands from some within about
their make or fit. Speaking of this in the
presence of a physician, he sail that since
the Introduction of short dresses there had
been noticeable decline in disease among
women that originated in cold or damp feet
When long garments prevailed, women were
very careless in this respect, often wearing
thin and broken shoes, and this, together
with the dampness always clinging to their
long skirts, brought on illness, which not
unfrequently terminated fatally.

ny DR.. HENRY l. Bowp1ron.


More than thirty years ago we were con-
suited by young man, who frankly confessed
that he believed he bad disease of the lungs,
and he ashed lis to say whether or not he
could rightly be married to an excellent
Young person to whom he had been for years
engaged. We found that his opinion was
correct, that decided disease of one lung ex-
listed, but it was not at tic time in an active
state We found, however, at the ssme time
that an adverse opinion on our part wottld
forever shatter the hopes OF two lovers who
had been for years devoted to one another.
There was not an argument save this local
disease which we could bring against the
idea of marriage. We will not attempt to
Indicate the reasoning whereby we came I'd
tho decision that we ought not, by any mo-
ton Of OUR own, to prevent the union. Ten
| or twelve years OF sweetest married life were
the result, and then tic husband died of
lung disease. but exactly What the youth
feared came to pass, namely one Of his
children died in very earliest infancy and
the other at the age of twenty,-both of
consumption. The latter was particularly

An Incident on Board the Great Eastern.
The accident to the French steamer Pc

two years ago. He says,

the various establishments are ihronged ac-

It is made of fancy straw, without brim,
high in the centre, with loop of green satin
