LOCOMOTIVE WRESTLING.

The performances of the locom olive
whistle, we are told, have been sys.
tematized on Western railway. Seven
whistles are to indicate "down breaks"
thirty-two whistles, sup breaks" forty
whistles and two snorts, "a back up"
The instructions add: "In case of a
doubt, whistle like the d." at the
street crossings whistle considerably"
Again: always whistle before din
ner. Require the fireman to keep the
whistle valve open during dinner. AT
ter dinner, whistle and squirt water ;
then back up. Then go ahead with a
whistle, squirt and ring" This
sibillant method being achieved, may
we not hope that the screams of the
engine may in time be modified into
something melodious? Then, indeed,
we might have such instructions to the
driver as these; "For down breaks,
play the chromatic scalej for up
breaks the scale in c; for back up,
the first six bars of the overture tc
Tampa; in case of doubt. double
thrill aud at street crossings series
of significant runs" This with some
wild adagio to be performed after ae
cidents, should the locomotive be vel
enough TO appear, would render th'
signal system very complete.

wounds he received during the insur-
rection at Lima in 1872, From Peru
nc went to Bolivia; then to Chill;
to Terra del Fuega then to the main
land, and across the Cordilleras to
Bueuos Ayres then back to Sandy
Point, in the Straits of Magellan then
to Chill then to Bolivia; then to Pc
ru; thence to Panama, and so on to
San Francisco. Col. Sherman has
famllarized himself with FIVE South
American native languages, and he
has also a good linguist in French,
Italian and Spanish, which latter
tongue he speaks more tluently than
English. In addition to the wander
ings above described Colonel Sherman
has made two ether tours almost az
extensive. Although twenty-six years
of age, he has been away from homs-
thirteen years, and he seems as unsat-
isfed with his travels as if he had
made one-horse trip to New York.
His wanderings have been undertaken,
not from any desire to extend our
knowledge of the country; he visits
but purely from love ofadventure and
In the interest of the precious metals.
Colonel Sherman has, however, made
cepious notes and not few sketches
by the way, and some day, when he
reduces these to subsequeuce and sys-
TEN, volume of his travels will
prove most readable.

judge the tree by its fruits, so we judge
the party by the fruits which it has
borne, and is still bearing, for advan-
cling civilization. Do we seek reform,
it has the power to bring it about. Do
we seek continued development of ma

best assurance that we shall have it.
Do we desire peace, freedom, and all

ED. REPUBLICAN :

t.U. The scenery at
this place both in beauty and grandeur,
is unsurpassed in the United States.
Nowhere else do Nature and Art vie
with each other upon a scale SO mag
nifcent. By the contrast between the
two, the astonished visitor is lost in
admiration with the beauty that en-
chants him. "f'
The bridge at Portage, the largest
structure of the kind in the world,
and over which principal line of the
Erie Railroad passes, spans the river
at the enormous heigth of 234 feet,
and is 800 feet in length. A view OF
the bridge can only give just concep-
ton of its magnitude. Here, also,
the Genesee River, impatient with its
sluggish progress, enters grand rocky
defle, presenting, for some distance, a
succession of wild and varied scenery.
The Upper Falls, just below the bridge,
are 6S feet, 3O2 feet from the top of
the bridge to the bottom of the falls.
AT the Middle Falls, one-fourth of
mile below, the water pours in an
unbroken sheet into chasm 110 feet
deep, bounded on either side by per-
pendicular lodges.
The Lower Falls, one and one-half
miles further down the river, forms a
beautiful cascade from which hotel
at this place derives its name. The
scenery is much more sublime than al
either of the other falls. Here the
river has worn stone hume, deep, and
so narrow that person can nearly
leap it. Its rapidity is fearful to be-
hold. After a precipitous course fol
nearly one-fourth of mile, it de-
scends twenty feet, striking against the
base of a conical rock, and turn
ing at a right angle, falls ints a deeT
pool. This conical rock rises 100 feet
from the bed of the river, and receives
the whole force of the rushing river
Following the course of the river
one is impressed with the heighth and
vastness of the rocky bluffs, which are
at some points $50 feet high.
The Cascade House is fine struc
ture, large and commodious, and fur
nished throughout in podern style. /

HERD OF CAMELs IN NEVADA.

On a ranch on the Carson river,
eight miles below the mouth of Six
mile Canon, is to be seen a herd of
twenty-six camels, all but two Of
which were born and raised in Nevada.
But two of the old herd of nine or
ten brought here some years ago are
now living, 1t would seem that the
original fell into the hands of Mexi-
cans, who treated them very badly,
overlooking and abusing them. The
men who now have them are French
men, who had formerly some expert
ence with camels in Europe. They
find no difficulty in rearing them, and
can now show twenty. four fine healthy
animals, all of Washoe growth The
camel may now be said to be thorough
ly acclimated in, the State. The own
ers of the herd find it no more diff
cult to breed and rear them than
would be experienced with the same
number of goats or donkeys. The
ranch upon which they are kept IL
sandy and sterile in the extreme; yet
the animals feast and grow fat on such
prickly shrubs and bitter weeds as no
other animals would touch. When
left to themselves their great delight,
aftei filling themselves with the coarse
herbage of the desert, is to lie and
roll in the hot sand. They are used
in packing salt to the mill on the
river, from the marshes lying in the
deserts some sixty miles to the east
ward. They have animals that easily
pack eleven hundred pounds.

Some sharp postmaster has set an
example which has been followed to
some extent and which will necessi-
tate another change in the postal laws.
By the new law salaries are paid in
accordance with the number of post
age stamps sold. So those sagacious
officers who deem their services worth
all they can get, buy their bread,
meat and tobacco with postage stamps.
They pay of merchants and mortgages
with postage stamps. When they rem
der up their accounts all these stamps
are reported sold, and when the prop
er time comes, up goes their salaries.
This is cunning but cannot last.
An old man and his wife who came
in by the Pittsburgh 81 Connellsville
road yesterday morning, saw about
dozen hacks at the door Of the depot,
and about dozen hackmen shouted
shack" at them. The man took it all
as a high compliment, and turning to
the old lady said: IL tell you, moth
er, they think we are something great,
or they'd never had all these carriages
down here to meet us. wonder how
they knew we was coming"
That was shrewd advice Of a learned
lawyer to his pupil: "When the facts
are in your favor, but the law opposed
to you, come out strong on the facts;
and when the law is in your favor and
the facts opposed to you, come out
strong on the law" "But," inquired
the studeLt, "when the law and the
facts are both against me, what shall
/ du?" "Why, then" said the law
yer, "talk around it,"
A very fat man, for the purpose Of
quizzing his DOCTOR asked him to pre-
scribe for a complaint, which he de-
olared was sleeping with his mouth
open. "Sir," said the DOCTOR your
disease is incurable. Your skin is too
short, so that when you shut your eyes
your mouth opens"
