Keep the Brain FaIIOw in Childhood.

When we are considering the health of
children, says writer in The Methodist, it
is imperative not to omit the importance
of keeping the brain falloY, as it were, for
several ofthe first years Of their existence.
The mischief perpetrated by contrary
course, in the shape of bad health, peevish
temper, and developed vanity, is incura-
BILE. Some infant prodigy, which is a
standard of mischiefthroughout its neigh
borhood, misleads them. But parents
may be assured that this early work is not,
by any means, all gain even in the way of
work | suspect il is loss: and that
children who begin their education late,
as 1t would be called, Will rapidly over
take those who have been in harness long
before them. And what advantage can il
be that child knows more at six years
old than its compeers, especially If this Is
to be gained by sacrifice OF health, which
may never be regaineds There may be
some excuse for this early book-work IN
the case of those children who are TO i've
by manual labor. IL Is worth while per-
haps to run the risk of some physical IN
Jury TO them, having only their early years
in which we can teach them book. knowl-
edge. The chance of mischief, too, will
be less, Deing more likely TO be counter
acted by their after life But for a child
who is to be at bOok-work for the first
twenty-one years Of its life, what folly it
is to exhaust In the least its mental ener-

The Cost Of Railroads.

Inquiries are frequently made as to the
cost of building railroads in the West, but
answers which give only the gross cost per
mile of road, or of road and equipment with
no details, are by no means satisfactory.
The following account of the cost of the
Galya & New Boston Branch of the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad,
which is given in the last annual report, by
Max Hiortsberg, the Chief Engineer of the
road, will give the information which so
many desire. 1t is II thoroughly well built
road, built in the most economical manner
by the company, without the intervention
of contractors, and with money instead OF
stocks or credit-a very important point.

ClandestIne Wedding in High Life.

A clandestine wedding Of unusual in
terest, considering the high social position
of the couple, created u stir in the city
yesterday afternoon. A wealthy young
bachelor of this CITY fell in love with the
charming daughter Of s promtpcnt citizen
spending the sdmmer at a place ~ fash
ionable resor, on the hunks OF the Hudson,
and to his intense DELIGHT, his love was
-rpciprocatel when the modern Romeo
called upon Juliets father at his office in
Wall street, that worthy refused in the
most peremptory manner to accept him
as his son-inlaw, whcreupon a sharp and
spicy war of words ensued, and question
able compliments were exchanged in rapid
succession, until finally the enraged father
ordered Romeo from his Office, and for
bade him ever to call upon or see the fair
Juliet again. Here was a prcdicament
After long mental consultation, the
would-be bridegroom decided to fly to
his lady love and propose a clandestne
marriages.
The proposition was at first stoutly re
jected, but the indomitablc youth used all
his persuasive powers, and intimatcd the
possibility of the parents being ultimately
reconcilcd. Juliet Mt last agreed to meet
her lover in town on certain day, at n
NNlthllA anu AOuit uAO nv ~
with him for life. On Monday last she
came to town, ostensibly to visit friends
who dwell on Murray Hill, hut in truth to
make preparations for her wedding. On
the day following her arrival, she ordered
q carriage and drove TO few friends, and,
having enjoined strict secrecy, informed
them of her contemplated marriage, and
requested the pleasure OF their company
at the ceremony. ..E. md (
Meanwhile the eXpcctant bridegroom
had also called upon few gentlemen in
town, and requested they should witness
the nuptials.
Yesterday, at - o'clock, the wedding
was solemnized at the residence of tho
bridegroom's lawyer, Nc. = Fifth avenue
and was witnessed by small circle o
intimate friends. The marriage ceremony
was performed by a prominent Brooklyn
divine, who is said to have received $500
for his services.
After the ceremony the happy pair were
driven to one of the Sound steamers fol
Boston, where the relatives of the young
bride reside. Previous to his departure
Romeo wrote letter TO his father-in- law
inclosing one from his wife with the mar

The Australian Diggings.

On Thursday, July Is, about noon,
Trooper Crofton saw man at one of the
public houses on Victoria Hill, Barrossa
diggings, whom he recognised as an
swering the description of one Hush,
for whom warrant had been issued at
Port Lincoln. He addressed the in.
dividual, who was passing under the
name of Kinks, but who admitted his
name was Hush, and told him of the
charge against him. After short time
the man consented to go, and asked the
trooper to allow him to get his swag from
his tent, which he said was in a gully
half a mile from Victoria Hill. Crofton
consented, and the man led him into a
deep unfrequented gully to the north OF
Victoria Hill, and below the western
road coming on to the diggings from
Cockatoo Valley. When they had gone
some distance down the gully, Hush
sat down, and said he wanted smoke,
adding that he should go no further
and demanded to see the warrant fol-
his arrest. Crofton advised him to GO
| on quietly, but the fellow seized large
stone. and threatened to mash his head
with it, saying he would not be taken
alive, and he knew he was a match for
any two troopers in the force. He is
known as fighting man, and had on
Wednesday, on the diggings, fought a
heavier man than himself for e., which
he won, beating the other easily. The
trooper dismounted and tied his horse
to tree. He then approached the man,
who renewed his protestations of resist
ance if he attempted to touch him, at
the same time holding the stone ready
to throw. He said it would be a case
of life and death between them, for they
should not both leave the place alive.
The trooper unfortunately had no pistol
with him. Crofton tried to reason with
him that as the charge against him was
not a serious one, he would get off with
a small money payment, whereas, if he
resisted, the consequences to him would
be worse. The man, however, kept at
bay until the idea occurred to him to
offer the trooper FL to let him go. Croft
ton pretended to be open to this per-
suasion, but said it was not enough, and
in the course of the conversation, while
trying to induce Hush to double his
ransom, he seized favorable moment,
and sprang upon him, throwing him to
the ground. A fierce struggle ensued,
and they rose together; but Crofton
caught Hush on the hip, and threw
him heavily down the steep bank, keep
ing hold of his collar, and fell on him.
The conflict was now desperate, Hush
cursing and making use of fearful
threats, trying to bite Crofton's nose,
and threatening to rip him open if he
could get his knife. At last the trooper
managed to get the handouts out, and
struck the ruffipn twice or thrice on the
head, nearly stunning him. The fe.-
low then gave in, and Crotton put his
hands behind his back, handcufed him,
and took him back to camp, just thres
hours after he had started.

VA uAhs
A Commission was appointed by our
Government to examine and report upon
the cereals exhibited at the Paris Ex-
hibition. The special report on the
grain exhibit of the world was made byI
George S. Hazard, Esq, of Buffalo, and
is based on a personal examination o.
specimens from nearly all the countries
Of the civilized world of edible grains
cultivated between 3S degrees south
and 20 degrees north latitude. This
sets forth the peculiarities of the differ
ent grains, and arrives at the conclusion
that the United States and Russia are
the great competitors for supplying the
world with cereals. The following. ex-
tract will be read with special intereat !:
The United Kingdom being the great
and only reliable market for the surplus
wheat and corn of the world, and in
view of the impending competition that
we are to meet in the market, it becomes
expedient that the producers of the I'm
tied States adopt the most perfect
system of cultivation and preparation of
their cereals to meet the demands of
commerce. At present we have the
advantage, to some extent, in the means
for moving our crops rapidly from the
places of production to the seaboard.
Our system of agriculture, preparation of
grain for market, and this quality of
our grain, surpass the Russian but these
advantages are only temporary, and will
avail little unless we take active mea-
sures to preserve whatever pre-eminence
We may have already obtained in this
trade. We must encourage higher
system of agriculture, and better Sc
lection of seeds with regard to soil and
climate. Many of our farmers SOW i'm
perfect grains, which in turn produce
weak plants and diminished product
We should encourage the introduction
and culture of new varieties of cereals
from European countries. We should
increase to the utmost and enlarge our
channels of communication, and cheaper
the cost of hauling and transpol ting
Of our great food staples for the cost Of
transportation from the producer into the
hands of the consumer is the vital part
of the whole question Of supply.
Spring wheat, being more reliable
crop, is cultivated to much greater ex.
tent than other varieties; it is the po
pular commercial variety, and FREEDOM
mates largely in our exports. 1t is not
assuming too much to say that the
average quality of our spring wheat
crops is greatly superior to those of any
other country. This is an important
advantage but without proper care il
may be lost, as it is an established fact
that the quality of the best varieties o.
wheat is in constant process of deteri
grafton.
