ARTIFICIAL Ivory FOR BILLIARD BALLS
An artificial ivory, the composition Of
which is still kept secret, has lately been in.
vented in Germany. and is said to have spe.
c,al advantages over the gen uine article fol-
the manufacture of billiard balls. Thus,
while the specific gravity Of the two Is
much the same, and the hardness of the A..
tificisl ivory Is little inferior to the other,
yet its elasticity is considerable more com.
plete; and in toughness aud consequent
durability it far exceeds It.
Rough usage and long action, which
would wear cut ! genuine billiard ball, seem
to have little effect upon the imitation. lts

The New York O6sercer relates the fol.

philosopher of Printing House square is
made to figurc:-
At = temperance meeting held in this city
few days ago, Borace Greeley made an
address in which he took occasion to GEN.

in rebuking the vice Of intclnperancc. He
said they were often called upon to pro.

while all tho virtues Of the deceased are

which he said he had read the Tribune often
and had read obituary notices of many EN-.

that they were on the principle prescribed
by Mr.: Greeley for the clergy. And he

officer; but my friends, I am sorry to say

unintentional hit was instantly appreciated
by the audience, and, If Mr.. Greeley was
not asleep at the time, he probably deter

A correspondent of the Denton (Tcxss)
Monitor says q handsome, dashing woman
rode into village in that region, few
days ago, and alighting from her horse,
went rapidly to a drinking saloon, where
number of sovcreigns were having thigh
time" She singled out the finest looking
man in the crowd, and walking up to him,
seized him by the arm and ordered him to
put down the glass he was about to drain.
Hedsshed down the glass and ran away.
The woman followed and finally cornered
him in billiard room. She told him in .
firm, determined voice, that the place he
was In, and the course he was pursuing,
would not answer for her husband; that he
was wasting her property, and that she
could no longer consent to be disgraced and
impoverished by him. She took his pistol
from him, cooked 1t and presented it at
him, and told him he must leave or die.
He concluded to leave. She marched him
out - prisoner of war " where the horse
was hitched, ordered him to mount, and, In
few minutes the two were leaving town,

lord, with six shooter In her hand.

vERMoNT's GREAT RAILROAD.

NEHMONT's GREAT RAILROAD.
1T has been apparent, we suppose for
some time, to well informed parties that
the Rutland Company was not likely to
sustain itself. Prolonged litigation be-
tween its bondholders under the different
mortgages, losses by the great freshets,
the legal tender decision which compelled
it to pay in gold heavy portion Of its
maturing liabilities, and especially the
success of its rival in securing control OF
the great feeders of through business,
have weakened it till 1t was plain that IL
could not much longer maintain the I'M
equal contest.
"Such being the case, aud the question
being whether Vanderbilt, the Rensselaer,
and Saratoga or the Central should take
the Rutland, we are perfectly clear that II
is best for the State that its controlshOuld
be kept in Vermont hands, as II wi II be
by the lease to the Central. Give us for
the management of our roads Vermont
men, Unidentified with Vermont interests
familiar with Vermont ways and YER
mont people, and not so familiar with the
"ways that are dark and the tricks that
are vain" which characterize so much of
the railroad management and control of
railroad legislation in New York State.
The Rutland road, by the lease, goes In
to the hands of men who have demonsra,
ted their capacity as railroad managers.
We speak but the universal testimony
when we say that the Central is q nota-
bly, well managed line. Its conspicuous
for genuine enterprise, for liberality in
extending its facilities for the public COM
fort and convenience, for prompt adoption
of improvements, for careful and reliable
management. Its managers take the Rut-
land line, not 70 smother or cripple 1t, or
any business depending on Il; but to
build up, develop and make II if possible
of still moro service to the public
We agree with the above fully, and
have no doubt that oil Vermont interests
will be better served by this arrangement
than by any other that could have been
devised.
Governor Smith is Vermonter, and we
all have confidence in his integrity and
judgment, As well as in his ability to Sc
lect men to carry out his plans.
His purchase of the line of boats run
ming on the Great Lakes, adds another
link in the chain running west through
our state, destined TO be one of the great
lines ria the Northern Pacific Railroad, of
which Gov. Smith is President.

There was a serious accident on the
Rutland railroad. on Saturday last, "a
miles south Of Rutland. Six persons
were injured, one probably fatally. The
cause Of the accident was a collision
between d wood train and q freight
train
A terrible disaster occurred on Tues
day morning on the Hudson River rail
road An oil train was bound south
and when passing New Hamburger al
axle of an oil car broke and dragged
along the ground till it reached the
draw-bfidge, where, striking the tim
bers it threw the car off the track and
upon the up track, in the face Of the
second Pacific express. An attempt
was made to stop the express, which
was then approaching, but there was
not time enough and it struck the OF
car, fragments of which scattered il
every direction, aud at once ignited
enyeloping the entire express train il
flames, The express train was com
posed of locomotive, one baggage,
car, one express car, and five or siy
sleeping cars. The locomotive was a
once hurled into the river, and the en-
gineer killed, and the baggage and ex
press car was piled top Of the engine
At the same time the Chicago sleeping
car was one sheet of flames, snC
though desperate attempts were made
not one got out alive. Two of the othe
sleeping cars next to it were alst
wrapped in flames, hut the pas sengerf
in them got out safely, and then the
bridge took fire. In less than ten min
utes after the whole structure fell car
