The World of Uonders civ

The World Of Honders gives the
following account ct remarkable speci-
mems Of minute workmanship. In the
twentieth year of Queen Elizabeth,
blacksmith named Mark Scallot, made
lock consisting Of eleven pieces Of
iron, steelabd brass, all of which, TO-
gether with key to it, weighed but
one grain of gold. He also made a
chain of gold consisting of forty:three
links, and having fastened this to the
aforementioned lock aud key, he put
the chain about the neck Of Aea
which drew them all with ease. All
these together, Jock and key, chain and
flea, weighed only one grain and half.
Oswaldus Norhingerus, who was more
famous even than Scaliot for his minute
contrivances, is said to have made six.
teen hundred dishes of turned ivory,
all perfect and complete in every part,
yet so small, thin and slender, that all
OF them we're included at once in cup
turned out of a pepper-corn of the COM
non size. johannes Shad, Of Mital-
brach, carried this wonderful work With
him to Rome, aud showed it to Pope
Paul v, who saw aud counted them
all by the help of spectaclcs. They
were so little as to be almost invisible
to the eye. johannes Ferrius, Jesuit,
had in his possession cannons Of wood,
with their carriages, wheels, and all
other military furniture, ali Of which
we're also contained in pepper-coro Of
the ordinary size. An artist named
Claudius Gallus made for Rippolytus
d. Este, Cardinal Of Ferrara, representa-
tons of sundry birds sitting on the tops
of trees, which by hydraulic art aad

trunks and branches Of the trees, were
made to sing and clap their wings but

PRESCRIBING FOR THE PEOPLE.-We
have dispensaries, hospitals noble institutions of
all kinds, for the relief of human ills. Every
thoughtful citizen appreciates the value of these
establishments for the amelioration of suffering
But they do not cover the whole ground; indeed
1t is impossible, in the nature Of things that the
amount of good they do should be at all in pro-
portion to the popular need. They are confined,
principally, to large cities. To the sick man in
the remote West, for example, of what use is the
New York City Hospital the New York Dispen-

The Directors OF the Atchison and
Nebraska Railroad Company met at
AtchisOn on Tuesday, and finally lO-
Gated the route from AtchisOn to
White Cloud. The route runs near
DOniphan, thence up Rock Greek, pas
sing one mile and q quarter west of
Troy, then along the valley formed
by the stream known as Gabbert's
Branch, to an outlet on Wolf River ;
then follows the valley Of Wolf River
till it reaches the Missouri River bot
tom, which il follows, passing through
Iowa Point, and on to White Cloud.
The original plan did not embrace
DOniphan in the route, and ran west
of Troy two and q half miles. The
citizens Of DOniphan agree to pay the
additional cost of building the road to
their town; and the location was
made to point as near as possible to
Troy, being inst One-half the distance
at first contemplated, upon the
strength of pledge that Troy would
vote q subscription sufficient to cover
the increased cost of building the road
on the new location. Citizens of High
land also made liberal offers, but the
route through that place was decided
impracticable-only one Director, we
understand, voting for the route.
WesuppOse the next thing in order,
is for White Cloud to vote the bonds
proposed. And then, it is to be hoped,
the Company viii 60 to work in ear
nest and push the road along, and
show that theyfmean business. Any
further baking and dilly-dallying
will destroy public confidence in the
enterprise Nothing disgusts the peO-
pie quicker than an appearance Oi

By the terms of the original Pacific
Railroad Bill, aid was granted one line
from Omaha, one from AtchisOn, and
one from Kansas City. The subsidies
given by the Government were only
sufficient to build the AtchisOn line
or the Central Branch of the U. p. r.
R.-tO the One-hundredth meridian,
af which point it was to intersect the
Kansas City line, or the U. P. e. D..
But the II. p. Eastern Division Com
pany procured change of route and
laid their track up the Smoky Hill
route, which threw them far south of
the Central Branch. So, when the
latter company had completed the
AtchisOn line to the meredian afore-
said, there was no road there TO con-
meet with; and bill has been before
Congress to grant them further aid,
sufficient to complete the line up to q
union with the Omaha road. The bill
was lost in the Senate, last Tuesday

On wednesday, in committee Of the
whole in the Senate, there was a spir-
tied debate on a bill to abolish the
death penalty in cases of. murder.
There was a great deal of elOquence
put forth by various members. Mr..

that he is not a professional man, it
was quite a success. The bill was
voted down, to 4.

House debating bill ITO license and
regulate the sale of liquors." The
bill reads, ''Fhe applicant for license

The struggle was on an amendment
to strike out the words ''at least tenn

"a majority of the" 1 found Mr..
Shook on the floor advocating the
amendment, in strain of elOquence
that did not expect in one so young.
Mr.. Church had also advocated the
amendment, but did not hear his
argument.
AS this amendment simply says
that majority shall rule, / was sur
prised to witness the opposition that
there was to this fundamental doc
trine of our Government, and itshOws
that the friends of the whisky seller
are getting alarmed.
There is one noticeable feature in this
Legislature, there are no drunkards
ia It. Is this an accident, or, have the
people of Nebraska come to the deter
minatiOn that if a man will drink
whisky to excess, that he shall not be
elected TO office? God grant that it is
