Rapid Travelling.

An examination of the nine great rail
WAYS which terminate in London shows
that the average rate of speed at which
the quickest expresses travel is forty
seven and three-quarter miles an hour.
Two lines only excel this. The ten
o'clock Northern train from London to
Peterborough runs the distance of sew
enty-six miles and quarter at the rate
of fifty-one miles an hour. But the
broad gauge west of England trains on
the Great Western beat even the Great
Northern. A train makes the run from
Paddington to Swindon, seventy-seven
and quarter miles, without stopping,
in three minutes less than an hour and
a half this is uniform pace of fifty
three and a quarter miles an hour The
Great Northern falls off its pace after it
passes Peterborough, and travels from
Granthen to York at under forty-five
miles an hour. The Great Western
falls off little from Swindon to Bath.
But the journey from London to Bath
by the 1l:45 train is the quickest in the
world. The distance is one hundred
and six and three-quarter miles. 1t is
timed for two hours and thirteen min
utes, including ten minutes at Swindon.
The running time is, therefore, some
thing over fifty-two miles an hour. The
fastest time anywhere on the Great
Eastern is forty-one miles an hour. The
London Daily Nevs gives many other
figures comparing the speed of different
roads, instancing some trains that run
as slow as thirty-three and half miles
an hour. The Great Eastern is the slow
est, and the Great Western the quickest
of the railways.

Statistics of Population.

The Memorial Diplomatique gives
the following interesting account of the
density of population in the great cen
ters of humanity throughout the globe.
There are nine cities having popu-
lation exceeding one million souls, viz
London, 3,251 900; Soochow, 1000, 900;
Paris, l, ,S25, 900; Pekin, 1,64S, 900; Yed-
do, l ,554 900; Canton, l, 236, 900; Con-
stantinople, 1,075, 900; Siang-tan, in
the province of Human, 100000; and
Tchan-tchaon-foo, in the province of
Fokien, |, 100000. 1t will be 81 en- that
although London holds the first place,
the Chinese empire can still boast of
possessing more populous cities than
all the civilized States of the West.
The number of cities possessing pop
ulation ranging from above half mil
lion up to million is twelve, viz: New
York, Vienna, Berlin, Hang -kaow, Phil
adelphia, st. Petersburg, Bombay, CAL
cutta, Fow-chow, Tchehing, Bangkok,
and Kieto. Twenty cities have popu-
lation of from 800, 900 to 400, 900 inhabi-
tants, thirty-three of from 100000 to
300, 900, and ninety of from 100000 to
200, 900 inhabitants. Europe alone pos
sesses one hundred and seventy-one
cities containing more than fifty thou
sand inhabitants, at the head of which
stand London, Paris, Constantinople,
Vienna, Berlin and st. Petersburg.

The Mormon Bible. :

/ find in my scrap-book, set down
there thirty years ago, an item which
may be Of interest at the present time,
when the Mormon problem is evidently
approaching a civilized solution. The
truth of the statement herein given was
vouched for in my presence by man
who was above deceit. The origin of
the Book Of Mormon" SO called, has
been puzzle to many, much of it being
evidently the production of a cultivated
mind, and yet springing to light from
the hands of illiterate men.
1t was written, in 1S12-l3, as a liter
a,y recreation, by Rev. Solomon Spaul-
ding, graduate of Dartmouth College,
ut that time residing in New Salem,
Ohio and, as he wrote it, 1t professed
to be historical romance of lost race,
the remains of whose numerous mounds
and inscriptions are found on the banks
of the Ohio. After the work had been
completed the author had thoughts of
having it printed, and for that purpose
he gave the manuscript into the hands
of printer, in whose office it remained
for several years, but the design of
printing was not carried into execution.
AS foreman in the printing office where
Mr.. Spaulding's romance was lodged
was employed Sidney Rigdon, who af-
terward figured conspicuously in Nor
mon history and there is no doubt that
he copied the manuscript and subse-
quently gave it to Smith Upon the
appearance of the Book of Mormon, in
1880, there were those living to whom
Mr.. Spaulding had read parts of his ro-
nance, and they recognized his verbi-
age in the book. Upon search the orig
inal manuscript was found among the
papers of the deceased clergyman, and
on comparison the Mormon Bible
proved to have been not materially al
tered from this parent text. OF course
the discovery soon made considerable
talk. A great many people went to see
the manuscript, and at the expiration of
few eeksitmysteriously disappeared.
As there was a Mon non preacher in New
Salem at the time, With proselytes at his
heels, the mystery o. the disappearance
was not very deep.

When you have nothing more to say

When he parted from Graham that
night, he said : "Ry-the-bye, l have
something to give you, old fellow.
And opening his pooket-book, he pro.
duced the little undirected note and
handed it over.
On the following morning Millicent

She could not think what else 20 say.
1t did well enough.
But" said Millicent, after an hour S
conversation, "you were very proud
yourself, you know, Harry, not to make
any appeal to the trustee people to ex-
plain" And though he did not think
so, he owned it; just as he would have
owned anything just then.
He did not go to Africa to shoot gor-
illas he stopped at home, and married

his friend so well as she processes.

In the wreck of the Northfleet, one
NAVY who was saved was heard by the
correspondent of the London Standard
saying: "When 1 saw what was up, 1
said, ses I, I'm agoin' to die, and may
as we'll do it as comfortable as l can,
and so 1 Lit my pipe" There was no
high feeling in that man, but there was
an infinite capacity for discipline. Fear
did not over power him in any degree.
He thought smoke even in the face Of
death still an object worth desiring.
