men of America have made a certain i'm
preston in Europe, that they are regarded
as a class apart, and that even when they are
accepted as all right they are not thoroughly
understood. Even those who behave much
like other women, whether their lives be
gay or quiet Ones, can be distinguished
from both the English and Continental
ieunc file. 1t is perhaps somewhat in the
favor of the Americans that the difference
is noted, and they are of course received
everywhere with respect and pleasure. No
women, 1t is conceded, are more truly
charming and dignifed, and they do much
to remove the bad impression caused by
another class Of their country wOmen.-[Old

look charming, if they only had on a good
coat of paint. Nine out of ten of the farm
ers nave leisure time enough to paint them
! selves, only they don't know how to mix
the paint properly, and they cannot afford
to hire a practical painter. To meet this
want, the AvERILL CHEMICAL PAINT is
made, ready tor immediate application.
ANY person however unskilled in painting,
can do his own painting, with perfect as
surance of a fine and durable job. This
paint has been thoroughly tested on thOus-
ands of the finest residences and costly
public buildings, for eight years, and brings
an array of testimony as to its superiority
over all other paints that is perfectly con
vincing to any candid mind. In the last
number of the New York Independent, we
find the following editorial endorsement of
it, "Time and experience seem only TO
confirm the claims of this paint, and prove
its qualities. AS yet we have found the
most prejudice against it to come from
those who have noC tried it, and will not try
it, while OF those who have once used it
rightly we have not heard of a single per-
son that would give it up, or exchange for
any other sort. To our personal knowledge
it has proved superior to white lead, and
for durability, beauty, and practical ecOno-
L.y we have never seen anything to equal
it"
We have personal knowledge. also, of the
high reputation OF the AueriH Paint, and we

CPENING OF THE Mont GEMS RAILWAY
A telegram from Italy has announced the
successful opening of the Mont Gents Rail-
way. The labor of years is thoroughly ac-
complished. The Alps have been pierced,
a tunnel through them has been con-
structed, and trains, carrying passengers
and merchandise, and running beneath
those lofty mountains whose rugged and
rocky sides seemed almost impossible bar
riers set up by nature to defy the passage OF
human progress. France n Sardinia
were the first nations to perceive the impor-
lance of q railway beneath the Alps, and
those countries, together with Italy, bound
themselves to carry through an accomplish
ment which stands prominent among the
great achievements of the present century.
The labor was so stupendOus that it was at
one time feared it could never be success

ties were constantly alleged to show that II
the mountains were tunneled that even
then all obstacles would not be overcome.
Imperfect ventilation and the intense heat

ing that the vast expenditure of time,
money and skill would all go for naught:
Like many s. lllar representations when
preceded Others of the great achievements
of human skill in the history OF the century,
these also have proven erroneous, and the
Mont Gents tunnel and the railway which
runs through it, have realized the most san,
guine expectations of those who conceived
it and had faith in its pra~cticability. The
total amount expended in the construction
of the work is SO $50 600. In order to

ment agreed to pay SS50,0O0 il the work was
accomplished within twenty years, dating
from 1862, and if the work was done at an
earlier period, France still further bound
herself to pay twenty five thousand dollars
a year for every year gained. 1t will thu
be seen with what activity and energy the
work has been conducted. and the Immense

burg Republicans are proud of this, as the
young gentleman is the product of our system
OF public schools. He was the first to enter
our high school when it was established, three
years ago, and has been diligent and faithful
student in that school ever since-always rank,
ing among the best in his class.
Colonel Platt, 10 his selection of candidate

the happy plan of competitive examination by
a board OF examiners selected by himself.
McCaleb was found TO far excel all the other
candidates who presented themselves, and
thus received the appointment. He is a son of

assessor in this city. 1t is an honor to our
public schools that they now have a repre-
