doctor saw that she was ady Of RANK
and wealth lie looked a; the eyes, shook
his head. and thought the treatment would
require much time. as their were reasons
TO fear amsurosis in her case. He must
advise her. first OF all, that as she had in
formed him she was residing a considera
ble distance in the country. she must move
iuto ;he city at once and thus enable him
to see her frequently. il possible. iaily.
The lady then rented an elegant mansion
moved into tho city. and the physician
was punctual in his attendance. lie pres
cribed this and that, and thus days ran in
to weeks and weeks into months The
cure, however, was still coming The
physician tlied to console her.
One day the patient hit upon curous
scheme, and waited not long to carry it
into effect. She provided for herself very
old attire. put hood Of Tremendous size
upon her head, took an old umbrella and
market basket in her hand and in these
habiliments she visited her physician, S.
lecting for the purpose n rainy day. She
had 40 very well succeeded in destroying
and Disgusting herself that the eye even OF
a lover could scarcely have recognized her.
She WAS obliged to wait for long time in
the ants room Of the physician, with many
others, who like her. were seeking relief.
At last her turn came. "Well, my good
woman what have you got to complain
off, "Very had eyes, Doctor she
answered He took her to tho light, and
looked into her eyes, but failed to recog-
nize his patient. Struggling his shoulders,
he said
Your eyes are well enough
Well?, she said "Ies, yes, and
know what am saying "But have
been told that was getting the a--a-for-
got how it is called" "Amaurosis?'
"Yes. that is it doctor" Don't you let
them make you believe any such nonsense.
Your eyes are little weak, but that is all,
Your physician is an ass" "An---"
Yes. yes. an ass Tell him boldly that |
said So" The lady now arose. and in her
customary voice said: "Sir, you are my
physician don't you know me?' The
face that the sage counsellor made is easier
to imagine than to descrire.
"Grocious madame" he commenced to
stammer an apology, but the lady would
not listen to him, and left him Indignantly.

Progress of the Northern Pacific Railroad,

The energy with which the building Of this
great thoroughlaro is being pushed forward Is an
added guaranty Of its early completion and its
wise management We learn from the financial
agents Of the road, Mcssrs Jay Cooke 81 Co., that,
at the present date, the grading /, nearly finished
for Peg miles, from Lake Superior, through Cen
trail Minnesota, to the eastern border of Dakota
trains are running over 1870 miles of completed
track the Mississippi river is bridgel at Brainerd
and once more joined to the Lakes by rail- and
track laying is rapidly progressing westward. -
By September next, trains will run TO the Red
river, and the grading will probably be far adj
yanced toward the Great Bend Of the Missouri
river in Central Dakota.
10 the meantime work has been commenced
the present season on the Pacilc coast a large
force Of men is already employed in the valley
OF the Columbia river, in Washington Territory
and hereafter the work Of construction will be
pushed both eastward and westward toward the
centre with such rapidity as the best interests OF
the Road may justify
Including It's purchase Of the St. Paul and
Pacific Road, the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company has il3 Miles Of Road now in opera
ton, and before the close of the present season
the length Of finished track will be at least 500
miles The new highway to the Pacific is being
constructed at the lowest cost compatible with
frst-class work.

IMPORTANT RAlLRoAD PRoEcT "A dispatch
from Concord, \. H., to the Boston Journal Of
April 7th, says, it is stated that negotiations are
going on for the lease of the Northern n H., K.
r., to the Vermont Central railroad in order to
secure another link in the contemplated grand
trunk route from Chicago to Boston via the lakes,
Ogdensburg, White River junction and Concord.
Should this measure be arranged its terms will be
submitted to the stockholders Of the Northen rail-
, road at the annual meeting next month
In connection with the above report there came
out some Of the particulars of the movement ON
the part Of several influential and wealthy men,
who are backed By great railroad corporation,
to secure from the next Legislature a charter for
a new railroad from Concord to Manchester This
project has been agitated from time to time for
several years but it comes up anew now from the
tact that the Passumpsic railroad has been COM
pleted, and that the White Mountains railroad
Will next summer be extended to the Grand Trunk
road OF Canada, the object of this great scheme
being to get another Independent line from Mon
treal to Boston via st. Johns, Smnstead and the
Passumpsic road to Wells River, Vermont. or via
the Grand Trunk and White Mountains road to
Wells River, and thence by way of Plymouth,
Concord, Manchester and Lawrence to Boston.
The Manchester and Lawrence road is now leased
to the Concord railroad, but the movers in the
above project allege that the lease is an Illegal one
and will probably be annulled by the Supreme
Judicial Court A significant feature in this pro-
gramme is the fact that parties are actively at
work buying up Manchester and Lawrence stock
at private sales, in order to get controlling
power in that corporation. A great public in
terest will be felt in all the railroad movements
above mentioned.
