II is said that the new sleeping
coaches of the Erie Railway Company,
which will soon be put on the road, will
run to Chicago without change, not.
withstanding the great difference in the
gauges of the roads over which they are
to run. Over the Erie road they will of
course run on wheels of six.foot gauge
At Baffalo the cars will run under a
hosting machine, which will lift the cars
from the road-gauge track. Should
this newest thing in railroading prove
successful, it will relieve the public
from many annoyances from varying
railroad gauges, of which there are five,
including the "narrow gauge" in the
country. The attempt some years ago
to make car wheels movable on their
axles, so as to accommodate different
gauges, it was thought at the time would
fill the requirement, but it has not been
tried to any great extent on passenger
cars, but has to some extent on freight
cars, the shifting being doing by run
ming the cars upon gradullay converg.
ing or diverging tracks until the narrow
or broader gauge is reached. Then the
wheels are again locked.

will escape. In few months the dust
will be so charged with this valuable
fertilizer that in stirring it the effiuvum
will be nearly as strong as that from an

Josh Billings Discourses on Pole Cats,

NY friend, did you ever examin the
fragrant pole kat clussly7
| guess not, they are a kritter who
won't bear examining with micro
skope.
They are butiful beings, but oh! how
deceptive.
Their habits are phew, but unique.
They bid their houses out ov earth,
and the houses have but one door tew
them, and that IL front door.
When they enter their houses they
don't shut the door after them.
They are called pole kats bekause it
il not convenient tew kill them with a
klub, but with a pole, and the Longer
the pole the more convenient.
Writers on natral history disagree
about the right length ov the pole tew
be used, but would suggest that the
pole be about 365 feet, espeshily if the
wind liz in favor ov the pole kat.
When apole kat is suddenly walloped
with long pole the fust thing that he,
she, or it duz, liz tew embalm the air fer
menny miles in diameter, with an akri-
monious ollfaktory refreshment which
permeates the ETHEREAL fluid with an en-.
tirely original smell.
This smell liz less popular in the fash
ionable world than lubins extrakt, but
the day may cum when it will be bot
tied up, like musk, and sold for 81
cents per bottle; bottles small at that.
pole kat will remove the filling
from a hens egg, without braking a
hole in the shell bigger than marrow
fat pea.
How this il did, historians hav left us
to doubt.
This IL vulgarly called "surking
eggs"
This il an accomplishment known
among humans, which it liz said they
hav learnt from the pole kats.
Pole kats also deal in chickens, yung
turkeys, and yung goslins.
They won't tutch an old goose, they
are sound on that question.
Man liz the only phellow who will at.
tempt tew blight into an old goose, and
his teeth fly oph CRATE menny times
before he loosens emmy ov the meat.
A pole kat travels under an alias,
which is called skunk. There is CRATE
menny aliases that there il no account
ing for, and this il one Of them.
l have kaught skunks in a trap. They
are easir to git into a trap than to git
out ov il.
In taking them out ov trap crate
judgement must be had not tew shake
them up the more yu shake them up
the more ambrosial they am.

while.

Stealing up through the tall forest trees;
