Railway Travel IN India.

AN OCCIDENTAL INVENTION ~ TIE ORIENT.
In recent contribution to the O6SrU-
er, Eusebius" gives this curious bit OF
inform alton:
q" The first train OF cars in India was
set in motion in 1852, not twenty years
ago, and now there are more than 5000
miles of railway in operation. The East
India Railway extends already nearly
1,500 miles from Calcutta to the north
west, near the borders of Afghanistan
The Great Indian Peninsular Railway,
from Bombay to the northeast, with its
branches, is of almost equal extent, and,
besides these, there are several important
roads.
" The East Indian had very practical
bic route laid out for it up the valley of
the Gangos That part of India is a vast
plain, resembling our western prairies, or
still more level and extensive. After
leaving Calcutta for the north, travelling
by rail more than thousand miles in one
direction, | do not remember to have as
cended an elevation or seen an embankment
ten feet in height, or to have passed
through an excavation of any depth. The
only elevation that L saw, until coming in
sight of the Himalaya Mountains, was a
succession of knolls some hundreds of
miles up the country, which were avoided
without the necessity Of passing over or
through them. This made the construc-
ton OF that road very easyg but in the
western part is some extremely heavy
work. For about hundred miles out of

THE GREAT PIGEON RoosT-Last week
General Henry Harden visited the pigeon
roost near Kilbourn City, and spent sew
eral days there, and from him we gather
some fact that may be of interest to
sportsmen about here. The roost commenc-
es about five miles from Kllbourn City, is
eight or ten miles wide, and extends as
far north as Grand Rabids, in Portage
county. about forty or forty-fve miles
The General says the country is poor,
sandy and scrubby. The pigeons have
literally taken possession of the woods,
and their nests are TO be seen on every
tree. On one tree he counted forty-six
nests, and thinks there must have been at
least hundred on some of the larger
ones. The woods are full of Indians,
hunters and trappers from all over the
country-some are there just for the sport
of the thing, aud some gathering them
and sending them to the larger cities for
sporting clubs, TO the markets, etc. The
pigeons have attracted considerable wild
game, and numerous wolves and foxes
have been seen and killed. There are
old trappers up there who make pigeon
hunting a business, aud follow all the
roosts. The General camped one night in
the woods in the midst of the pigeons,
and says they huttered around and were
not quiet until near morning. In the
woods the birds do not fly in focks, as is
generally supposed, but are scattered, and
fly in and out more like mosquitoes. so
that it is very hard. although there seems
to be millions of pigeons around, to kill
large numbers at one shot. All the pig
cons killed drop with their crops filed
with wheat, oats and pigeon grass. When
the young are about two weeks old. the
old ones fill their crops with food and de-
sert them The roost seems to be extend
ing toward the north, and many prophesy
that the pigeons will soon take their de-
parture for Michigan. 1t will pay sports
men TO visit this great pigeon roost.-

Bombay the great Indian Peninsular Rail-
way runs over and through a range of
mountains by succession of Ghauts, over
immense embankments and viaducts of
masonry, and is carried, within a short
distance, through twenty tunnels cut in
the sslid rock. These works have been
executed at immense expense. An idea
of the soldity of the railways of India
may be gathered from the fact that not
withstanding so much of the country is an
open plain, making their construction, ex-
cepting through occasional Ghauts, COM
paratlvely easy, the average cost of the
four thousand miles comp eted at the open
ing of the year 1869 was $50, 200 per
mile. They were built byprivate compa
nies the government rendering valuable
assistance and guaranteeing FIVE per cent
interest upon the capital invested, without
which they could not have been undertak-
en- The amount of interest thus advan-
ced by the government up to January l,
1869, was about 1925, 100000 of which
more than half had been repaid from the
revenues Of the roads. Throughout the
entire peninsula the rails were laid with
uniform gauge of FIVE feet six inches.
The route by rail from Calcutta to
Bombay by way of Allahabad, a distance
of 40 miles, was opened in March 1870.
The event was considered one of great I'M
portance by travellers to and from the
north and east of India. Formerly pas
sengers from England to Calcutta and the
cities up the Valley of the Ganges had
sailed direct to Calcutta, by the Cape or
through the Red Sea; but now they land
at Bombay, where they take the rail to
Allahabad, S45 miles, and thence to Cal
cutta, 625 miles, or to the north Of India
The time between Bombay and Calcutta,
according to the Indian Bradshaw, was 90
hours. 1t may be shortened ere this.
Contrary to general expectation, the
railways have been immensely popular
among the natives. They are a travelling
people, having been accustomed from an
cient times to making long pilgrimages;
aud as soon as they became familiar with
the sight of the cars, they began to crowd
them IN great numbers. The system of
caste was at first an objection, inasmuch
as a high caste Brahmin was wont to con-
slider himself polluted If even the shadow
of a low caste man fell upon him, and
much more If he touched him. The COM
panjes were strongly importuned to estab-
Iish caste cars, in conformity with the So
cial regulations of tee country; but the
government wisely forbade it, and the ad-
vantages of this rapid mode of travel
were found to be so great that these stern
preiudices were overcome and now, all
who are not willing to pay for the exclu-
sIve use of a ear are packed together pro-
Mohammedans and Hindoos,
Brahmins and Pariahs, may be seen sit +

THE PARROT As a PET-If nature ever
formed a creature, out of her especial
grace, to be household pet, responding
with intense and discriminating love to
every kindness, and continually entertain

are the beings. So diverse in their indi-
vIdual characterIst cs. so ike human

ou>ies, loves, and curiosity, that he who
has not one already will never regret
immediately making himself the possessor
of one. DIR. Brown, whose pathetic story
OF '.R1b and his Friends" has won him a
hearing, says d" that no house unblessed
by the presence OF young children should
be without pet and as a laughable re-
source IN weary hours, when the mind
refuses even the Eighties, entertainment.

And let me IN particular recommend the
gray African parrot. 1t Is more Intelli-

cries to Startle the nerves Of those about

mush, and boiled rice, and any fruit in
season; now and then, as a rare bon1le
bpuche, an inch or two of becl, of which
they are extremely fond. A small pine
stick should be put into the cage for them

PILLows OF SToNE.-Rev. G. S. Robin
son, ID. D., in one of his recent letters
from the East to the Christian Union has
the following concerning Pillows of
stone" a word may be said about the
hardship of stone pillows, and about this
Eastern habit of sleeping. The climate
throughout all Southern. Palestine is not
only warm, but the sunshine tends pecu-
liarly and excessively to sunstroke. 1t
drives to drowsineSs almost irresistibly.
Whenever one of the natives has an hour
of waiting he invariably sleeps, as the
readiest method of disposing of his time.
In the parable those unfortunate virgins
may seem exceedingly commonplace who
fell into slumber when a wedding was on
the way. l admit they were foolish to
sleep even until the cry was heard, Be-
hold, the bridegroom cometh y But they
did just what most people do when kept
under pressure in these regions. Then, as
for convenienees, you must remember that
stone has these two advantages it is
generally cool, and it is free from vermin,
and, furthermore, it is almost the only
thing for elevating ones head which can
be easily found. No stock of old trees,
no fallen trunks, remain in this country !;
these and such things are gathered at once

The New Haven Journal says that
gentleman of that place has invented
registering ballot-box. Its mechanism is
very simple, but at the same time it Sc
cures the desired result. On the inner
side of the box is a slide, which can oe
slipped back and forth so as to cover and
uncover the hole through which the bal
lots are put When a voter hands up his
ballot, and his right to vote has been as
certained by the check list, the slide is
pulled back, leaving the hole open for the
entry of the ticket. As the slide is pulled
back it rings 2 small bell, and at the same
time turns small wheel over which rolls
a slip of paper The outside of this pa
per has printed upon it figures from 0 to
20, and each time the slide is pulled the
wheel registers the number of the vote,
which number can be seen through asmall
hole in the box. When twenty votes have
been registered, another wheel, below the
first, registers 20 also, and then each 20
until the number 400 has been reached.
By placing in a third wheel the number
OF SUI can Ue IUSisto,~A- In this way
the total number of persons who hrve voted
will be correctly registered by the wheels.
If double voting has been effected it will

Blue GLASS As 4 PANACEA-A Phila-
delpha general has undertaken to bring the
world to perfection through the medium of
blue glass. He first drew inspiration from
gazing at the sky, and as blue glass is the
most available earthly substitute. he under
took the highest possible development of
organic matter by subsection to its infu-
ence. He first used it TO cover a grapery,
and in FIVE months had drawn out two inch
vines 40 fest, endowed with a proportion
ate fruitfulness. His next experiment was
with an Alderney bull calf which he not
only recovered from an apparently fatal
illness, but developed to full bovine stature
in about four months Thus far it has
been found reliable in every trial, and if it
can be as successful in moulding human
powers, it will only be necessary to place
feeble infancy in these blue glass heavens
and let them kick themselves into manhood
before they would otherwise have cut their
incisors.

4 case has recently occurred in England.
that las excited IA great deal Of attention
and awakened much dissatisfaction with a
law 50 evidently unjust, as to compel 50 cru
al and unnatural decision. The case is
thus stated by the London Spectator :-'' All
IN N know that by English law wives ha, e
no right of property over their own money,
or of guardianship over their own children /;
hut few are, We suspect, aware that widows
have no right over their children either
even the constructive wish OF the dead father
over-rides their rights. Mr.. I. Hawkswortb,
a Catholic, married a Protestant, thereby
proving that be did not care very much
about the difference between the creeds He
died, and the widow brought up his daugh-
ter till she was eight anu half as a Prot
estant, educating her, says the Vice Chan
celIor, carefully and well. The relatives de-
manded that the little girl should be
brought up Catholic, and the Vice Chan
ceIlor of the County of Lancashire was COM
pelled to decide that she must be so educat-
ed. although such education would build
up barrier between mother and child, and
though he evidently considered his own or
der grossly unjust. On appeal Lord JUS
ticc James affirmed the decision, 20 that by
English law girl of eight belongs not to her
living mother but to her dead father, and
his possible wishes, though entirely opposed
to his actual practice, must oyerrule her de-
libcrate Judgment. No more extraordinary
instance of the English denial of common
justice to wives ever came before the public.

Vinelaud, n. J is city of ten thousand
inhabitants, without a single grog shop.
The police expenses last year were S IS
for SIX months not single application for
relief to the poor officers was made by set
tier or citizen during the year there was
but one indictment, and that for triAing
assault among the colored population only
one building was burnt, and there is no fire
department. The city has sixteen district
and several private and other schools This
happy state of affairs is all attributed to the
absence of King Alcohol and of the " dan

city without dram shops.
