Mn. EDITOR: I am truly sorry that
am compelled to appear in print again
concerning the joint resolution. The

luton to the Governor, with the batch
Of other bills, and got receipt for it,
I desire to inform the editor and the
public that auch is not the fact As
Chairman of the Committee on Enrolled
Bills, have never received, at any time,
any bills from Mr.. Jehr Barre, unless
he first took copy of the title, which
he has always been very careful to do.
Whilst am charged with the delivery
Of Acts passed and ratified, I em not

am only responsible for bills coming
into tay possession. My impression all
the time was that this joint resolution
was given to the Governor, until Sena-
tor Dunn called my attention to it; and
We Immediately repaired to the printing
Office, to look over the receipts and the
original copy Of the titles of tho Acts
ratified on tho last day of the session,
which copy Of said bills titles was Ia ken,
before they were handed to me, by
Messrs. Pelham and Sparnick, in tho
Senate judiciary Committee room. Mr..
Dunn and myself could iiud no trice
where Gny copy of the title Of the eaiG
joint resolution was taken; but the une
relative to Mr. Kimpton proved to have
been the one presented. Nor could Mr.
Bnrre find who're any copy of the title

proceeded to have certified copy Gu

4 RAILROAD IN THE CLOUDS. Our
latest alyices from Peru announce the
approaching termination Of ono of th-
most gigantic engineering enterprises Of
tho day. We allude to the railroad
which is to connect the Pacific coast
with the river Amazon, across the chain
Of The Andes. Commencing at CalIao.
tho lire runs to Summit Tunnel, 105
miles FROM tho shore, and 5000 feet
above the level of the spa, whence it
desceuds to Ls Oroya OH tho Amazon
River, distance of thirty-one miles
from the summit level. This colossal
work is being executed by the Peruvian
Government, and an idea OF its difficult
ty and cost will be gathered from the
fnct that in its course it crosses one
bridge 324 feet span thrown across the
Chalapa ravine, at tue height OF l2O
feet, thirty other bridges or viaducts,
and thirty i've tunnels, whose combined
length exceed three English miles, the
main or Summit Tunnel, on the highest
point of the Cordiilera crossed by the
road, being $500 feet long. o.! course,
this altitude of nearly three miles above
tho starting point Of tho road could not
be reached without m immense number
of curves and au almost Incredible
amount of labor and engineering mp,
piances. The terminus of the road is
Il. u small village called La Oroya,
where the communication with the
Amazon, aud, through it, with tho at
mutic, will be made as soon ns the road
is put in operation-an event which
will take place before the end of the
present year.

A YOUTHFUL VIEW OF OXEN.

A little boy 10 the Bishop Scott
Grammar School At Portland, Oregon,
has gotten of the following luminous
view Of "oxen." His "conposition"
