SUPERIOR AND ST. PAUL--THE DESIRABlLITY
OF MORE DIRECT RAILROAD COMMUNICATION

Under the above heading the following
noteworthy communication from a promi-
@. =, II o.>,aarnd in the
Pioneer of the 10th inst.
To tne Editors of the st. Paul Pioneer:
As St. Paul seems to be fully awakened to the i'm
portanee of stretching the hand to grasp and well
come North and Western Wisconsin, including Supe
riOr aud Bayfield, it he out Of place to rive a
few statistical remarks in connection Herewith pre-
facing the with the welcome fact that work has
already commenced the branch line OF the Superior
st. Croix Railroad, running from the Northern Pa
cifc junction to Superior City This road is now un-
der contract clearing and grading comm need ut the
crossing of the Pokegama river and other points ;
gangs of men getting out ties and large force
manufacturing bridge timbers, sc. This portends
business, and places the building of this important
road beyond all doubt.
Now, in comparison with the Lake Superior Mis-
sssippi Railroad, from the Junction to Duluth, with
this road, here are the approximate figures: Distance
from the Junction to Superior City via Duluih, 81
miles from Junction to Superior City via Superior &
st CroiX Railroad, 81 miles-distance saved, miles
The grade from Thompson to Fond du Lac on the
Lake Superior Mississippi Railroad, is upwards of
90 feet to the mile; the Superior St CroiX Road
the grade nowhere exceeds 81 feet to the mile and
but one change Of grade the whole distance There
bridges the latter road higher than Is feet
while on the Lake Superior & Mississippi Road YOU
have five high trestle bridges to cross one of them
10 feet high, the Others any of which viii almost
double these the Superior & st. Croix Road 1t
can be safely asserted that locomotive engine with
train OF fifteen cannot at all ascend the
track from Fond du Lac to the Junction: but even if
II could, the same engine with 80 ears could run to
the junction from Superior City with greater and
safety less friction, less steam and in less time, than
from Duluth to the Junction And the reasons are

Honor TO whom Honor is due

We are happy TO put on record the following
recognition Of the valuable contributions Of our
tovnsman Capt Daniel Smith, to Meteorological
Science. Through bis industry and perseverance
We have q continuous series OF observations for
several years, Of the atmospheric changes on this
Island, which observations, as will lie seen by
the following letter Of Professor Henry, Of the
Smiisouion Institute, have a marked and inter
es,ing relation to those Of the Meteorological
Bgreau Of the United States
SMITHSONIAN Institution.
Washington, d. - June %, 1872.
DEAE SIR: I have much pleasure in acknowl-
edgIug the receipt Of the meteorological records
made by Capt Smith at Houolulu, and beg
leave TO request that you will assure him that in
any use that we shall make CT them. in the way
Of publication, due credit will be given him for
the authorship
Meteorological observations in the Sandwich
Islands are Of special importance in the advance
Of the science Of Meteorology since these Islands
being midway in the ocean between Asia and
America, they will serve to determine the i'm
P0rtaut question as to whether the meteorological
phenomena which are transmitted in an easterly
direction across the Continent Of North America
in any case have their origin il the Pacific Ocean.

THE MARIO-PATTI CONCERTS.

The third concert Of the Mario.Path season was
attended last night by o large and brilliant au-
dience. There is no falling Or in the enthusiasm Of
the public for the brilliant bouquet Of artists whom
Mr.. Strakosch has brought together. While 1t Is
true that every one recognizes the ravages that
time has committed on the powers Of Mario the
only feeling manifested s one OF regret. The au-
diencc good-naturedly insist on response to their
encore as ifit were q tribute which tine public owe
to the memory OF great talents It Is certainly the
highest proof OF the immense popularity that Mario
enjoyed in his beaur Jours that 1t has survived
the generation that accorded 1t. Mario sang
In the duet "Mira In blanca luna" with Miss
Cary. OF course there was suggestive difference
between the fresh, pure notes of the young lady
and the worn voice Of the tenor, but the skill he
displayed in the use OF his voice was almost as
great an artistic triumph, in Its way, as the more
striking ones he won In the golden past The con-
cert opened with the overture from mariana"
given by the orchestra with credtable ensemble.
M. Sauret followed with violin solo, selecting
spohrs eighth concerto, and in the second
Bsrs %ienoMss hs EXECUTION was or
liant, and the public marked their appreciation
y insisting on an encore In response he played
the first part the scene and aria, "Ah F1ors lul"
from 'Traviata," and displayed tnat wonderful
the concert hall. The audience became enthu-
siastc and recalled the charming songstress three
times but as sne was sunerlng from neadacne Sne
powers were quite exhausted Later on, however,
she rallied and sang with great brilliancy ballad.
ssNon Credormi, written expressly with view TO
display the pyrotechnic qualities OF her voice. In
answer to q recall, she sang '.rhe Laughing
ness. Miss Carreho, whose beauty won the
hearts OF the audience on her first appearance be-
fore she had played note, seems to grow IN public
there is q combined frmness and delicacy in her
touch as she sweeps over the keys that Is full Of
charm. At moments her playing Is impassOned as
the warm Southern temperament Is reused by some
particularly fine passage. In the legato passages
the lady gives evidence OF thorough training and
obedience to the requirement Of the author. She
played "Rondo Capriccioso" In the first part and
in the second a "Caprice POOnaise Revue a Prague"
the ''Chanson sans Paroles" and the "Bananier."
The concert brought to close by the trio from
"Don Giovanni" "Protegga II GlustO Cielo" in
which Mademoseles Patti and Cary sang with
Mario. The last concert before the departure OF
the company for Boston will be given on Tuesday
next.

HE BIENvMLE DIsAsTER-AN INvEsTIGA-
TIoN.-To ascertain the facts in relation to the
burning of the steamer Bienville the govern
ment has ordered an investigation, which will
begin this morning at the Office Of the Steam
boat inspection, No. 23 Pine street. Mr..
Joseph Mershon, Inspector of Hulls at Phila-
delphia, and John X. Mathews, Of this city,
Inspector of Boilers, are named to conduct it.
In recent editorial the HERALD noticed the
fact that similar investigations, as general
rule. ore simply whitewashing operations
How does the composition of this commission
illustrate that assertion! Mr. Mathews in
spected and passed the Bienville short timo
before she sailed ON her fatal voyage. He was
also the inspector who passed the Westfeld o
few weeks before her terrible explosion last
year. While we distinctly disclaim any i'm
putation upon this inspector, there is an obvi-
'ous impropriety in his passing judicially upon
his own executive action in certifying the Bien-
Vile, when it is distinctly asserted that the
FAILURE to extinguish the fire in her hold occur
red because the donkey-pumping engine
proved worthless. What the public want in
the Bienville case is thorough exposure of
the causes of her destruction, which shall fix
the blame on the guilty. A coat of whitewash
win not be accepted. All who know anything
tending to elucidate the matter should appear
at % Pine street and testify. aio5

The subjoined letter, with an enclosure from
DR.. David Livingstone to w. F. Stearns, Esq,
dated Unyanyembe, March IS, 1872, was
among the number brought to the coast by Mr..
Stanley, the HERALD correspondent. The
package was forwarded, as directed, to Bonn
bay, to the firm of Stearns, Hobart & Co., in
which Mr. Stearns was partner at the date of
DR.. Livingstone's departure for the coast of
Africa in 1866. Mr.. Stearns. who is ON Ameri-
can, and son OF President Stearns, of Amherst
College, is now engaged in business here,
hence the letter and enclosure had to be re-
directed to this city, where they
ARRIVED YESTERDAY FROM BOMBAY.
The enclosure referred to in the letter is
dated November, 1870, from Manyema, Gen.
tral Africa. In it a special and friendly refer
ence is made by DR.. Livingstone to the Ameri-
can Geographical Society, with request that
MI. Stearns would communicate such
EXTRACTS TO THAT SCIENTIFIC BODY
as he saw fit. Mr.. Stearns therefore withholds
the enclosure from publication in order that
he may first carry out the great traveller s 8
commission to the American Society. Dr.
Livingstone has been nos ss5ae.e. ,r

meeting now propose to carry this project out,
owing to the knowledge of the Doctor

Judge DAILY stated to a HERALD reporter yester-
day that it was the intention of the
Society to &s
GIVE RECEPTION TO MR. STANLEY
on his arrival in this country. They admired
the generosity which conceived the expedition
and the courage and devotion which carried it
out. It was, he said, something for all Ameri-
cans to be proud of.
