4 GOOD DAYS WoRK,-A letter
dated on the 9th Of Aprl from the
then terminus of the Central Pacific
line reports what will stand, we think.
unchallenged as a days work
1.-THE greatest work in track-laying
ever accomplished or conceived by rail
road men, has been successfully achiev-
ed to- day by the Central Pacific Com
pany Ten miles and ffty-eight feet of
railroad Grading excepted has been
made between daylight and shutdown.
Some two or three miles of this had
been hauled cut by the teams yesterday
on the advance, but all the iron rails.
fish bars, bolts and spikes were carried
out to-day, ard the most part of it was
brought number of miles from the
rear, as the station, this morning. was
two miles behind the foremost rails.
The ties for over seven miles had to be
hauled by two-horse teams from five
miles where they were first laid to over
twelve miles where they were last laid,
and this over a rapidly rising grade
and mountain road. AS here are about
?, 400 ties to mile and they are from
80 to so pounds weight, it makes l.
pa 900 pounds, without the 16,800
ties teamed and laid This only repre-
sents part of the work done by teams,
as all the blacksmith, wheelright and
other workshops went by the wagon
road One length of such camp wag-
ons number twenty five, and sp IN out
in a thin line looked like one of the
large emigrant trains of former days.
The iron moved by the construction
train was one hundred tons, and the
whole Of that has been laid, spiked,
fshed and bolted in eleven working
hours, and the road to the end of the
track, though needing little revision
In places, is fit for travel and in fair
condition"

PLENTY OF PURE AIR.

The following is an extract from a
paper on the "PreVention of Disease, J"
read by DR.. George Derby before the
Boston Social Science Association :
Fresh air is the great natural disin-
fectant, antisepitlc, and purifier, and
not to be compared for moment with
any Of artificial contrivanees. There is
plenty of it in the world, yet disguise
the fact as we may, there is TO getting
over the unWelccme truth, that to pro-
vide II in abundance in our climate is
expensive, since during seven months
Of the year, it must be artifeially
warmed. To take in air at the average
winter temperture of % degrees, raise
it to 68, and discharge it again from
cur house even once in an hour, is a
progress which cannot be accomplished
without paying roundly, yet on no
other condition can we reasonably eX-
pect health and long life. The best
way is to freely admit that it is expen
sive, but worth the money it costs. If
Benjamin Franklin thought that "a
penny saved is penny earned, he was
equally sure that health is wealth
Instead of asking ourselves with how
little fuel can l warm my house by
stopping the fues, and the bcnefcent
window cracks, which the carpenters
have left, the question should he, how
much can / afford to pay for fresh sup
plies Of pure ali, moderately and equally
warmed. and distributed without waste.
l cannot help believing that the sum
Of family health and happiness in a
generation, would be more increased by
liberal expenditures for this purpose
than any other"
A SENSIBLE GIRL.-As a weary
traveller was vending his way through
the mud in a far west region of the
country, he discovered young maiden
seated in front of the door of a log
house. He rode up in front of the
cabin ard asked the girl for drink Of
water. Lie drank it, and she being the
first girl be. had seen for several days,
offered her a dime FOR kiss. The young
maiden accepted Che offer and received
the kiss and the dime. The traveller
was about to resume his. journey, bat
the girl never having seen dime,
asked /:
..What am | to dc with this dime ?"
You may use it as you WISH" he
replied, sit is yours.
IF that's the case" said she, "II
give sou back the dime and take
