IIighwaymen on the Rail.

The story Of the attack upon train on the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad on
Monday night by o small party of highway
men reads like a chapter from the life of Dick
Turpin or Claude Duval. AS in the days of
old single horseman inundated coach
load of passengers, so half dozen gentlemen
Of the road, in this case, deliberately robbed
the express car and started off without being
molested. A singular circumstance is con-
nected with this daring robbery. The con-
ductor of the train could not find among all
his passengers q revolver. This will surprise
to no small extent those who believe that
every one travels in the Far West armed to the
teeth. There is greater degree of depnvity
in the conduct of the highwaymen of the rail
than ever the gentry of Blackheath contem-
plated-namely, the fiendish attempt to wreck
the train, which, happily, did not prove sue
cessful. Men who would coolly plan and en-
deavor to carry into execution wholesale
train might cause, should not be
permitted long to pollute the earth
with their presence Justice is swift and
sure in the West on such occasions if halt
ing and cratic in others. The country in the
vicinity of the scene Of the outrage is aroused
against the rufians, so that Judge Lynch will
probably dispose of them without calling upon
the regular authorities. The death of the
brave engineer, John Rafferty,, who chung
manfully to his post, and by his presence of
mind and heroism averted wholesale catas-
trophe, is the saddest circumstance connected
with the affair. The immunity from outrages
of this kind which our railroads enjoy is very
gratifying, when we consider the dangers en-
countered by travellers in some of the
countries of Europe. The opportunities for
murder and plumber on our roads are so fire.
quent and easy that we may congratulate our
selves that they are SO seldom taken advantage
of by desperate characters. Yet the speedy
punishment Of such highwaymen as were en-
gagged in this last nefarious enterprise is
needed to dispel the feeling of insecurity
which must fill the mind of the traveller on
the iron road. But while justice deals
sternly with these wretches the grand heroism
of the engineer should not be forgotten, and
his family in Chicago should be placed beyond
the reach of want.

The scientific public will be interested in
learning the recent attempt of the Signal Bu-
reau to extend its mountain weather observa-
tions to two of the Hottest SUBMITS on the
Continent. A few years ago On eminent
scientist scaled the volcanic sides of the Peak
Of Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, and his
meteorological researches at great altitude
proved of the utmost value to the science they
were designed to promote. For some weeks
the Signal Bureau has been at work in taking
instrumental and other observations on Mount
Mitchell, in North Carolina. This towering
point OF the Appalachian chain, known as
'the Black Dome OF the Black Mountains,
rises from valley, the mean height Of which,
above the ocean, is two thousand feet;
height of six thousand feet, are
counted by scores. The stBlack Dome" itself
rises four hundred feet higher than Mount
Washington, in the White Mountains of New
Hampshire and is the eliminating point of
the whole Allegheny chain. In studying the
Winter weather reports from Mount Washing
ton, the interesting fact was elected last year
that the cold aerial waves which CROSS the
country from west to east are not, when they
reach the Atlantic States, high enough to sub
merge this mountain, since the thermometer
at the summit read higher than at stations
near the base. Several other valuable deduc-
tions regarding American meteorology and
storm movements have been obtained from
the Mount Washington data. But, in the case
of Mount Mitchell, there is a far richer
promise Of learning the play of the great
atmospheric machinery and currents. The
former mountain lies so far beyond the inter-
tropical belt that the meteorological cannot
expect to encounter on its icy apex anything
but the polar blast, relieved occasionally by
milder local winds. But the 'Black Dome"
in North Carolina appears admirably located
to exhibit on its summit the successive phe-
nomena of the Summer trade winds, and in
Winter the return trades, the observation of
which, on Teneriffe, proved so instructive to
Piazzi Smyth and to other scientific investi-
gators.
Not content, however, with stationing its
sentinels of science on the top of Mount
Mitchell. the Weather Bureau is also about
similarly occupying, on the opposite side OF
the Continent, the splendid lookout from
Pixies Peak, correspondingly the most ele-
waited point of the Rocky Mountains within
the United States. This will afford new IA
ciities for investigating the meteorologic con-
ditions which give the Pacific States and Ter
ritories and the adjacent country their charm
ingly uniform and salubrious climate, as it will
more accurate forecasts of all Eastern weather
affected by that of the Rocky Mountains
When these and other new arrangements for
widening the scope for atmospheric research
are perfected we may expect many interesting
and instructive results.

RAINS IN july in the great valleys of Cali
fornia are about as unusual as snow in Florida
in January; but this July there have been
such general showers Of rain on the San
Joaquin and Sacramento lowlands that the
farmers thereof are afraid these extraordinary
rains will damage the corn fields. Our opinion
is that the Californians ought to be thankful
for such a refreshing break in their long, dry
and whitening Summer season; but they are
stifi-necked generation and nothing but their
usual nine months Summer DROUGHT will
satisfy them.

The VALUE OF THE DAILY WEATHER RI
PORTS is now so widely acknowledged that
their omission from a newspaper for single
day is felt by o very wide class. Those con-
nected with the transmission of the "Proba-
bilities" should, therefore, use all possible de-
spatch in circulating them. The ungraoious
attitude of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany in this respect causes a nightly delay ia
forwarding the forecasts obtained at such trou-
BILE and expense. There is nothing creditable
to the company in this.

The Prussians Preparing to Evacuate

The Prussian troops have commenced
their homeward march from the hostaged
territory of France. Two of the pledged
towns were freed on the 22d instant. Gene
raj Manteuffel will remain for O short
time at Nancy, but for short time only.
When he marches away the verdun district
will be the only French territory held by the
Germans. France will be restored to complete
freedom in very short period. She deserves
her liberty. The patience of her people
under very dire and humiliating mis-
fortune and the financial punctuality of
her government have been and remain
beyond all praise. The home resources of
France are, it may be said inexhaustible

peration undying, and, apparently, invinci-

the appearance of the army, number
ing eighty-three thousand men, which was
lately paraded before him ct Vincennes. It is
claimed that French soldiers never before ap-
