The Mexican Congress has passed bill
authorizing the executive department to
construct line of telegraph from Mazat-
Ian to Ures, the capital of Sonora, about
four hundred miles from Tucson. If now,
says the st. Louis Times, our government
would, in accordance with the recommended
ton OF General Schofeld, and in accord
ance with the general desire of the citizens
OF the Pacific slope, construct a line from
San Diego or Los Angeles to Tucson, the
lacking link of four hundred miles might
soon be provided to connect the American
with the Mexican Geographic systems on
both sides of the continent. The same act
shat provides for line to Ures also makes
an appropriation fora wire from Durango to

sIowest Railroad Ever Heard. oG.

John" writes to the New York Sun
from Syracuse, as follows: "a railroad
runs from Oswego to Syracuse. 1t is
thirty-six miles long. Irode on it, and
those cars moved go slow that if you
want the draft in your face you have to
ride backward to get it. They never
have hot journals on the road; the
great danger is, the stuffing and gravy
around the axles will freeze. The
screech of the locomotive is very faint,
kind oflike the warble'of a four.year old
boy, blowing through knot hole in q
baord fence. 1t is capable of giving a
grasshopper q thrill of alarm, but won't
scare a cow worth a leather cuss. The
conductor, engineer and fireman always
walk ahead OF the train to look for
broken rails, and the cows always run
ahead of them to keep out Of the dust.
| tried an experiment. Two trains were
passing, and l stuck a match out OF
the window and let the end of it rub
against q passenger car, 1t went 90
slow couldn't strike a light. If you
ever take q trip from Oswego to Syrs-
cuse over that road you want to take
lots of clothes, q whole ham, and q bar.

Too Much Soldier.

At a late celebration OF the New
England Society, in New York City,
General Sherman, according to a re-
port in the Washington Chronicle, said !:
I'VE ought to be prepared on the very
shortest notice to organize an army,
and if he or any other general had
power to lay their hands on the best
young men in Broadway, they could
have an army equal to any in Europe.
Such a power, he did not suppose,
would be placed in their hands, but it
would serve as An illustration of what
might be Done" The "best young
men in Broadway" as well as elsewhere,
would better use their influence against
the military ambition of the day, lest
power should some time be given to
the soldiers ito lay their hands on
them" as in the late war. No doubt,
if authority could be given to the
military men ITO lay their hands" on
the youth Of the country in that way,
we might "have an army equal to any
in Europe" But what do we need OF
such an army7 We have not even the
pretense OF European powers-de;ense
against powerful neigbbors-and no
other object to suhserve but to keep
down the people under the rule of mill.
tsry despotism. II the young men OF
the country don't want to be drafted or
conscripted, as in Germany and Francs,
they ought to be vigilant and active in
resisting the tendencies to centralized
government and military despotism.

Refuses 70 be a Bishop.

Rev. Dr.. Benjamin Haight,who was on
the 9Th of December elected Protestant
Episcopal Bishop Of the diocese Of
Massachusetts,, has declined. In his
letter refusing the Bishopric he says:
II am constrained by weighty considera-
on, which l feel it impossible to set
aside, to say that,1 cannot accept the
iattering invitation which, in the name
of the Convention, you have rendered
to me TO accept the Office, 80 honored,
so dignified and 80 full Of promise to
the incumbent and to the church. /
say this sorrowfully and with regret,
for / fear that my words may bring DIS
appointment and grief to the hearts oil
many dear friends-to friends of thu
church-at least for q time, while
many more who have acquiesced in my
election may wish that my reply had
been otherwise.

Cold and moisture combined have tor
porising effect upon the bodily organs, and
the digestive and secretive processes are apt
to be more tardlly performed in winter
than in the fall. The same is true, also, of
the excretory functions. The bowels are
often sluggish, and the pores of the skin
throw off but little waste matter at tbi
season. The system, therefore, require
opening up little, and also purify Ing and
regulating, and the safest, sureSt, and most
palatable tonic and al .erative that can be
used for these purposes is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. Persons who wish to escape
the rheumatic twinges, the Gyspeptic ago
MES. the painful disturbances of the bowels
the bilious attacks, and the nervous visi-
tations, so common at this time OF the year,
will do well to reinforce their systems with
this renowned vegetable stomachic and
strengthens the stomach, cheers the spirits,
and renoyates the whole physique.

SENATOR MORTON is said to be in-

SENATOR MORTON is said to be ln-
cubating a constitutional amendment
and speech in its favor providing for
the election of United States Senators
by popular vote instead of by the State
Legislatures. The contemplated abol-
ishment Of the Electoral College and
the election OF the President and Vice
President by popular vote will probably
meet with favor az d ratification, but we
doubt whether the State Legislatures
will consent to surrender the privilege
of choosing the Senators. Indeed, we
are not satisfied that the change would
be an advantageous one. AS a general
thing, the men now chosen Senators
compare favorably with officers elected
directly by the people. True, it is
sometimes easy to buy upa Legislature,
"a PATTERSON did in South Carolina
and as CAMERON has been accused Of
doing, but the popular vote in South
Carolina would probably have sent to
the United States Senate some man not
much better than PATTERSON: and
where a HARTR.NFr can be elected
Governor it is not likely that better
than CAMERON would be made Senator
by the popular ballot.

Five Millions forTOys.

A New York correspondent says:
The season for toys is marked by an
indifference to expense which might
astonish most Of our economists. 1t
has been estimated that the value OF
these articles sold during the past year
in this city is not less than five mill
lions of dollars-a sum. equal to the
entire income of Washington's Admin
istration. Large quantities of toys are
manufactured here, and enc concern
employs hundred men on tin work,
such as toy horse railroad ears, en-
gines, &c. An immense importation is
also carried on from factories in Lon
don, Birmingham, Paris and Dresden.
Santa Claus will have no difficulty in
making up his annual stock, and he
can select out OF an immense variety.
The speciality Of dolls is one of interest,"
ing character. They are now got up
like modern bride, with neat trunk
and variety of dresses, dignified with
the name of trousseau. These dolls
are worth one dollar and half a piece,
but you can get one at the same house,
tiffany some very nice ones fo- nine
dollars. What q chance for poor
folksl Tiffany sold one doll and
trousseau about tn ee weeks ago for
five hundred dollars. 1t was an
automation, could walk, and displayed
most of the accomplishments of COM
plete modern belle. When l was
young the girls played with rag babies,
and even a corn cob, capped with a
rag, on which eyes, nose and mouth
were scored with ink, was not without
it's charms; but the world has moved
since then.

Mr.. Edward Lorraine, the chief en-
gineer of the James River and Kanawha
Canal Company, whose death, in Rich
mond, Va, has been announced, died
Of continent smallpox, on Monday.
He was . very prominent hydraulic
engineer. He was fifty-five years Of
age, . native Of New Orleans, but edu-
Gated in Virginia, and began life as .
rodman in the corps Of engineers en-
gagged in the construction of the James
river and Ksnawha canal. He re-
manned all his life connected with this
great work of internal improvement.
Mr.. Lorraine was on the 4th of Decem.
Der, 1854, appointed the chief engineer
of the company. This position was
held by him until the 22d of October,
1869, when be was appointed engineer
and superintendent OF the canal. These
positions were held by him until his
death.
Under the act of Congress Of July
IL, 1870, authorizing the survey Of the
James river and Kanawha canal, a re-
port was made by Colonel Craighill. in
which he referred to the Pamphlet on
the Water. Line" containing the inter
estipg and instructive paper Of Mr.. Lor'
raint, the chief engineer of the James
River and Kanswha Company. and
published the same with his report to
the War Department.
Under the appropriation made by
Congress at it session in l87l-72 Mr..
Lorraine was employed as the engineer
in charse of q corps engaged in the To-
cation of the line of the enlarged cana,
and his report would have been SUBJ
mitted to the War Department in few
months. A preliminary report was pre-.
pared, and would have been forwarded
to Colonel Craighill ere this but for
the sudden death OF Mr.. Lorraine.
He.was prominent in Richmond as
writer for the press, contributing much
to the brilliancy of the old Examiner,
under John NJ. Daniel, and to other
newspapers. His skill in map drawings
was marvellous, and in this branch Of
his profession he had no superior. One
of the best works OF his life is said to be
a series of illustrations for Lppincotfs
Magazine of New River Falls of the
Kanswbs, Hawks Nest, Natural
Bridge, &c, to accompany an article
which will be published.

Our exchanges cay thatarangements
have been made by the various German
Emigration Associations to- increase the
number of persons who will leave Ger
many for the United States this year
over that of any previous period. The
home organization, to effect this pur-
pose, is said now to number $4,000 per-
sons, and it is proposed to form a union
with the National Agricultural Labor
ers' Union, of London, this latter Asso.
citation having a membership of 2OO,-
600. 1t is contemplated, when the
season opens, to send at least half a
million of Germans and English farm-
ers and mechanics to various points In
the New World, but mostly to the
United States. Both these Associations
have for their principal objects a desire
to relieve the present over-crowded
labor market, and the German organi-
cation has a paid up capital of $4,000
to carry out their plans. 1t is pro-
posed, among other things, to urge leg
islation in the American Congress for
the better protection of emigrants. A
Commission will leave Bremen in the
middle OF January for the purpose Of
purchasing land for large colonies who
contemplate emigrating in the spring,
and also to make a report upon the
particular section Of the United States,
both for climate and sol, which is best
adapted to Germans.

Mr.. FRoUDE, the historian and lee
turer, was to have sailed for England on
Saturday in the Adriatic, but the
rumored unsafe condition Of the vessel,
Joined with the earnest solicitation OF
his friends led him to alter his determi.
nation and he remains in New York
another week. His visit to this coun-
try has not proved very remarkable
success in so far as its professed object
is concerned, for popular opinion con-
corning English rule over Ireland re-
mains unchanged. Father BURKE's
eloquence was more than the historian
expected to encounter. Mr.. FRoUDEs
possible object, the sale of his books
has however been partially accom-
plished and the circulation of his his
tories has been vastly stimulated by hs
lecturing tour.
