The Opening Of the InterOceanic Railroad
An Indian Rev0iuti0nist.
The Honduras papers abound in details OF fhe
opening or portion or the Interoceanic Railroad,
which has already been announced. The news
columns are filed with letters OF travellers and re-
pOrters, ana among the advertisements we observe
that the line Is open 'tor the conveyance OF goods
and passengers from Puerto Cabelss to Pie de la
Cuesa.' That Is on the 10th OF June. And on the
1st OF July further p0rGon Is to be opened, VIZ, TO

but real, everyday people don't always
make first-class heroines, and this is Just
a record of how Helen didn't do my
thing of the sort. She did, indeed, find
more time for study, after that pleasant
friendship began; but it was the old
gentlemans "boy" that worked the
mischief. Finding her friend OF the
family, it was not unnatural, perhaps,
that he should fall into way OF calling
for her designs, and so save her the
trouble and annoyance of going to the
office. But he became so much inter
ested in them, or so impatient for them,
that he was willing to go very often,
and wait almost any length Of time
while they were being completed, and
at last persuaded Helen to 60 into part
nership with him. He was not a doc
tor, you know, and so it happened that
the blue-and-gold sign of DR.. Helen
Mayne was never hung anywhere ex-
cept in her own girlsh Imagination.
However, she found an ample field for
all her medical skill and knowledge, as
we'll as her womanly sympathy and
tenderness, in the homes of the many
operatives of the great mill.

Tricks of JugglerS.

A traveller at Kinai was entertained
by the Viceroy, the Amir Kustai, and
this was one of the amusements: a" That
same night a .juggler appeared, who was
one of the Great Khan's slaves, and the
Amir said to him, Come and show us
some of your wonders. Upon this he
took wooden ball with seven holes in
it, through which long thongs were
passed, and laying hold Of one of these,
slung it into the air. 1t went so high
that We lost sight Of it altogether ct
was the hottest season of the year, and
we were outside in the palace court
There now remained only short end
of thong in the conjurer's hand, and
he desired one of the boys who assisted
him to lay hold of it and mount. He
did so, climbing by the thong, and we
lost sight of him. The conjurer then
called to him three times, but, getting
no answer, he snatched up knife. as if
in a great rage, laid hold Of the thong,
and disappeared in his turn By-and.by
he threw down one of the boys hands,
then a foot, then the trunk, and, last Of
all, the head Lastly, he came down
himself putting and blowing, and with
his clothes all bloody, kissed the ground
before the Amir, and said something TO
him in Chinese. The Amir gave some
order in reply, and our friend then took
the lads limbs, laid them together in
their places, and gave kick, when

CAPITAL Lost and Gained.

In all the estimates of the damage
done by the Chicago conhagration, it
seems to be assumed that, however much
insurance may distribute the burden,
yet there has been an actual dead loss
Of the houses and property swept away
by the fire, which is so many millions of
property dropped out of existence,
making the United States. on the whole,
so many millions poorer. But it is an
interesting question whether this view,
selt-evident as it would at first appear
is not, after all, mistaken one. Capt.
tai represents accumulated labor, and
though the capital may at the moment
be swept away, it is under circumstances
that impart an extraordinary and other
wise impossible stimulus to labor. In
other words, thousands Of days work
will now be done that otherwise would
not have been done at all. Men other.
wise idle, and dollars otherwise idle, will
now be not only finding remunerative
employment for themselves, but daily
adding to the aggregate wealth OF the
country. That the new Chicago will be
a better built city than the old one,
hardly admits of doubt; and if better

old one would have been if it had re-
manned unburnt. The losses OF indivi-
duals and corporal ons are undeniably
and deplorably great. But so Ear as this
particular disaster affects the national
wealth, it is quite as likely, in the long
run, to enhance as to diminish it. The
New York capitalist who tears down
substantial two-story brick house in
Broadway, in order to erect massive
six. story edifce of stone and iron, be-
gins by destroying valuable property,
yet does not deem that he is incurring
either temporary or permanent loss by
it. SO the United States, deprived for
time Of one of its choicest cities, can
hardly be considered to have absolutely
lost all the millions which have sudden
ly changed hands, or been converted
from fixed into floating capital and
labor, by the Chicago fire.-N. Y. C5m.
