Russian Railways.

1t appears from a statement in Rus
sian papers that the Russian railway sys-
TEN covered, at New Year last, q total
length of Is, $40 versts, of which $500
versts were state-owned lines; Col
versts are in Finland. The figures re-
fer only to lines already fully COM
pleted and worked; LAO versts more
are III progress of construction, and
2, 343 vessts are projected. Of the fifty
railway companies existingin the en-
pire, only ten have constructed their
lines altogether without Government
assistance the remaining forty are
guaranteed-twenty to the full amount
of their capital, the other twenty only
to a partial extent. The entire sum
annually guaranteed by the state in the
shape Of interest and repayment of
capital amounts to 81, III, 627 roubles.
In 1873, Ia, 592, 1T2 roubles, being rs. 80
per cent. of the sum total, were actual
ly paid out of the exchequer. The
charters granted to railway companies
are for the most part terminable after
between seventy-five and eighty-five
years. Some small companies have
charters only for thirty years.
A STORY is told, and it may be averred,
says the Rock, that it is "founded on
the fact" that In a certain cathedral
city there once dwelt two ministers of
the gospel-one, we will call him John
Brown, and member of the Cathedral
body /; and another of the same name, a
poor Independent minister. The SINH
larity of address led to some unfortunate
contretemps; letters and parcels in
tended for one J. b. went to the other
j. b. On one occasion the Cathedral
j. b. became angry on opening q par
eel not intended for him and he con-
sequently addressed the following note
to Mr.. j. Brown
Sir-If you had not assumed title
to which you had no right, this mis-
take could not have occurred. Your
obedient servant, ETC."
The nonconformist bided his time in
silence. Not long after this, however,
he too opened a parcel intended for his
High Church brot .er. 1t contained q
considerable supp J of manuscript SER
mons. Upon this The dissenting broth
er addressed the following courteous
retort to the minor canon:
Rev. Sir--If you had not under
taken an office for which you are wholly
unfit, this accident could not have oc-
CURED. Yours obedient servant, j. B.

A Girl Dresses i'm Male Attire and
Works in q Haryest-Field.

Col. J. G. Myers, owning an extern
sive farm about seven or eight miles
west of Omaha, employed several har-
vest hands two or three weeks ago, at
$3.50 per day each. Among the num-
Der thus engaged was a young, rather
good-looking and smooth-faced chap,
who attracted some attention on ac-
count of his very symmetrical build.
He worked faithfully from morning till
night in the harvest-feld beneath the
hot sun, and fairly earned his money.
On Saturday last Col. Myers was con-
slderably surprised upon accidently
discovering that the supposed young
man was girl dressed in male attire.
He at once accused her of being fe-
male and demanded her reason for thus
unseung herself. She acknowledged
the fact, and explained that, owing to
adverse circumstances, and her inability
to obtain work at any reasonable COM
pensation while attired as q girl, she
bad donned the garments of a man and
had then no difficulty in securing en-
pioyment at remunerative price. This
was not her first appearance in a har-
vest-feld, nor was 1T the first time she
had done the work of man. Further
than this she would not explain, refus-
ing to give her right NJ =, her home,
or any other facts conc herself.
OF course, under the circumstances,
Col. Myers could not longer continue
her In his employment, as the discovery
had become known among the farm
hands. He accordingly discharged her
In the hndest manner, paying her in
full for the labor she had done. She
then bid her employer good-by and
took her departure to seek work else
where.

How Children are "Raised.v

What ought, what can a mother do
when a good, pleasant, careless hus
band constantly thwarts all her effort:
to teach or govern the children, and vel
cannot be made to see or feel what he
is doing?
Let us illustrate and sketch from
memory, not imagination:
" Mamma, please give me piece Of
pie ?''
"No, darling, one piece is enough. ,
"Half piece, please, mamma ?"
"No, Freddie, no more"
GA very little piece, mamma, dear q
"No, Freddie, no."
"Do give the child a little piece III
risk it's hurting him."
And the mother gave it.
Mamma, may go out and play ?"
:" It's very chilly, and you have a.cold.
/ don't think it is BEST
Bundle me up warm, mamma, and
won't take cold"
81 fear you will; you must play in
doors to-day"
''Just little while, please, mann

"No, Freddie, you must not go out
today
"Do let the child go out. What a
girl you are making of him. Women
never were fitted to bring up boys.
Dress him up warm, and let him run !;
it will do him good"
And Freddie went out.
MAY / have my blocks in the par
lor, mamma?"
No, Willie; make your block house
in the dining-room. Miss L. is an in
valid and want the parlor very quiet.
"Tll be very quiet"
"You will intend to be, but you can
not help making some noise, ana as
Miss l.. very rarely goes anywhere, 1
feel she will be very tired at best so be
a very good little boy and play in the
dining-rooIn this afternoon"
81 won't make bit of noise, nor
tire her one speck.
''You must play in the dining-room,
Willie, and not say any more about it. -
Nonsense it will do her good to
see happy little face it will give her
something besides her own pains ard
aches to think of. Let him bring his
blocks in the parlor."
And he brought them in.
"What a torment that boy has got
to be! It's teaze, teaze, teaze from
morning till night. It's enoughto wear
the patience out of JOB If you don't
whip him / WILL"
And he whipped him.

Reaches and Rarax.

A Pittsburgh correspondent tellsh how
to get rid of our colony of reaches
"Sprinkle your desk and the floor with
pulverized borax; let it remain some
days without being brushed off the
desk or floor, and, our word for it,
brown reaches will be completely
vanished to appear never more.d Oh.
you be hanged. Didn't we try the boz
r-x, and didn't the reaches immediately
hold a public meeting and adopt series
OF resolutions thanking us for the kind
ness we had done them; and didn't all
the other reaches in town attend the
convention and determine to become
permanent members of the colony when
the meeting adjourned and aren't they
swarming around us this moment as
thick as Tewksbury mustard ?" Give
the scoundrels borax, and thew think
you are mother to them--Louisville

Photography at the Bottom OF the Sea.

DIR. Neumayer recently exhibited
before the Berlin Geographical Society
a Photographic apparatus designed for
the determination of the temperature
and of the currents at great depths in
the ocean. The invention is composed
of copper box, Theoretically sealed
and furnished with an exterior append
age llade like rudder. In the inter-
Tor is a mercury thermometer and a
compass, each inclosed in a glass re-
ceptacle in which are admitted traces of
nitrogen gas. A small electric battery
completes the apparatus. When the
latter is allowed to descend attached to
sounding line, the action of the cur
rent on its rudder causes it to assume
a parallel direction, thus indicating the
set of the flow by the relative position
of compass, needle and rudder. The
thermometer of course shows the sur
rounding temperature. In order to fix
these indications, a piece of photo
graphic paper is suitably disposed near
the glass cases containing the instru-
ments. Then at the proper time cur
rent of electricity is established through
the gas in the receptacles, causing an
intense violent light, capable of acting
chemically upon the paper fora sufficient
length OF time to allow of the pho
Biography thereon of the shadows of the
compass needle and of the mercury col
umn. Within three minutes. it is said.
the operation is complete, when the
apparatus is hoisted and the paper re-
moved.

A Terrible Tragedy at Sea.

The Journal O6iciel of Paris has re-
ceived an account of a terrible occur.
renee at sea, the particulars of which
are as follows:
On the Sth of June the italian vessel
Napoleon Camarero sailed from Macao
with a crew of 40 men, 663 coolies for
Callao, and 5000 packets of fireworks.
After a lapse of two days, the inter-
prefer discovered plot among the emf
grants to seize on the ship. The Cap
tain Immediately ordered one-half of
them to be confined in the hold, but the
next day those who remained on deck
armed themselves with knives, Delaying.
pins, pieces of wood, in short, anything
they could lay their hands on, and at
tackled the crew, who defended them
selves with muskets and revolvers. The
coolies then massed themselves en- the
forecastle and set fire to the vessel, hop
ing that the crew would set to work at
the pumps to extinguish the flames.
During that time they had also freed
their comrades, and murdered the few
sailors they could get hold of. The
Captain, seeing what they were doing,
ordered the boat to be lowered, and
left the ship with the remainder of his
men. Some sailors who remained on
board with the doctor, the magazine
man and interpreter, were unable to
prevent the flames from reaching the
fireworks, and the ship blew up, scatter
ing the fragments of the mutineers in
every direction, under the very eyes of
the escaped crew.

WINNING GOLDEN OPINIoNs.-Perhap APPS
no man living has won more golden
opinions than DR.. Walker, as the enor-
nous and widely increasing sale of his
CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BTTTERs attests.
We never look into one of our ex-
changes but there is a panegyric
OF the Bitters staring us in the
face. Our readers will say that
there must be a reason for all
this praise. They are right. The
efficacy of this celebrated medicine is
established by evidence which it is i'm
possible to doubt. Among the thou
sands who have borne testimony to its
excellence, there is not one dissentient
voice. In very many phases of inor-
ganic disease it seems to be unfailing.
All diseases arising from vitiated state
of the blood are surely eradicated by it.
1t is an effectual remeey for pulmonary
complaints, bilious, remittent and IN
termittent fevers, rheumatism and dys-
pepsia. 1t purges the body of all I'M
healthy humors, gives tone to the sys-
tenn, and where the vital powers are
enfeebled, restores their functions 20
vigorous and healthy action. All this
it does the more effectually because its
operation is not interfered with by the
presence of alcohol. The VINEGAR BIT
TIERS is perfectly free from any such
hurtful ingredient. We have always
believed that plants contain the true
remedies for disease, and all the rene
dies necessary. DIR. Walker is on the
line of real progress, and we hope that
he viii not rest on his present discov-
cries. 3

A Lone Game.

him to play game of billards-one
