During the Crimean campaign one OF
the principal regimental canteens IN the
Russian army was suddenly closed III
the faces OF officers and men without
notice or warning, Prince Gortchakof,
furious, rode up to the parveyor and de
manded an explanation, whereupon the
latter replied that, instead Of yielding
him, as was commonly supposed, ego OF
clear daily profits, his business was
landing him in downright ruin, mas
much as the greater part Of his receipts
consisted OF false bank notes. The
General, at his wits end, telo-
graphed the Emperor, and on receiving
a reply told the purveyor that if lie
would open his canteen the spurious
notes in question should BE- cashed as If
they we're genuine at the bank. Armed
with this assurance the purveyor brisk
~ resumed his business, and labored In
his vocation with such zeal and yipi-
lance that at the end OF the war he had
the satisfaction Of being able to present
for payment to the Imperial Bank go,
090 worth of counterfeit paper, scarcely
any eli which had really been received
by him in the course OF his dealings

TEE EETE Pan


Capt, Tyler, the English expert sent
to this country to examine into the. con
dition Of the Erie railway, has made his
report. He says the road undoubtedly
possesses great natural advantages, but
in order that its resources may be prop
erly developed several things are neoes-
sary, which he specifies as follows: A
double track with steel rails and dura-
bic sleepers on a whole main line, and
some sections, some improvements in
the gradients Of The road; fresh cxtan-
sions and connections; change Of gauge
is Indispensable; improved terminal ar
engagements to provide sufficient storage
for Increased traffic; iron bridges to be
substituted for wooden when the latter
require renewal; speculation in coal
fields, and ali other speculations, should
be avoided; no outside rings should be
permitted. To carry out any of the
above mentioned improvements, liberal
expenditure is required, but the precise
amount to be expended from time to
time can only be settled after the most
careful dehbcTatI0n Thore is probably
no railway in the world which would
better repay such large expenditure than
this, if a really good management, sup
ported By stable constituency Of pro
prietors, can be permanently secured.
Capt. Tyler recommends the organiza-
ton OF strong committee in England
to control the arrangements with regard
to fresh capital and expenditures gener-

4 Natural Artesian Well III an Open
Prairie.


Three miles southwest Of New Can
ton, in this county, can be seen one of
the most wonderful sights ever witness
ell. On the land Of Shaw and Rupert,
known as the northwest quarter Of sec

found what has been known for years
as the Salt Spring. This spring II @as
0ut OF a level prairie, and a few weeks
since the locality gave no Indications
that You were approaching one of the
greatest wonders OF this country. The
spot has long been the resort of wild
game and domestic animals, who came
to drink It's saline waters, which never

few weeks since proprietors, who had
long conceived that there was some I'M
developed secret connected with the
spring, sunk an iron pipe some forty
feet down the mouth Of it, and imme-
diateiy it began to throw out, from the
upper part Of the pipe, water to the
height Of tWcnty-three feet. 1t re
manned for few days attracting large
numbers of visitors, who came to see
and wonder. Some days after six more
pipes Of the diameter Of an inch and a
half were driven into the spring the
longest pipe about fifty five Iceland
such q cascade Of water was never seen
before on a level prairie. Some of the
pipes have covers perforated with small
holes, and the ietsof water thrown from
these form, in the sunshine. beautiful
rainbows. For ten feet or more in every
direction, and fifteen to twenty feethigh,
the white spray rises, glitters and show
ers around, forming a pool thirty feet
IN diameter, clear, limpid and cool.
in n clear day the column of wa
ter can be seen for miles, and on a
cloudy, drilling day l could see IL
over two miles. [ assure your readers
that 1T is Il sight worth seeing, and no

on Sunday there are two to four hun

ground.

Destruction Of Railways in Spain.

The Carlists seem to have special
mania against railroads. The Paris cor
respondent of the London Times writes
that during the last few months they
have destroyed on one line IS coaches,
4 engines, and Z bridges. One method
of destroying them is to break down q
bridge, then PIT full steam on, and run
the train into the chasm. Another
method is to detach the engine, and then
start it full IL against the train so rs to
destroy the carriages. On this same
line they have destroyed - kilometres
Of railway, Is OF telegraph posts and
wires, besides greatly damaging various
other stations, bridges, tanks, etc., the
whole of which is an estimated loss to
the company Of %, 200, 000reals, or more
than million and quarter of dollars.
Finally one Of the CaTlist chiefs, Lo-
zano, has issued q decree declaring that
any railway functionary caught within
one hours distance Of a station shall be
Immediately shot. IS might be natyrr-
ally expected, these Carlist Changers
have made railroading very unpopular

Life-SaYing Apparatus.

Among the many varieties Of life-say-
ing apparatus invented during the last
few years for use on the sea, two RATS,
known respectively as the Monitor and
AmmeD. have recently received especial
attention. The Monitor Raft consists
of two strong vulcanized rubber cYlin-
ders, y feet long by rs inches diameter,
covered by stout linen canvas or duck,
to sustain the pressure, and supported
by wooden frame, fitted with seven
thwmts or seats, and cushions filed
with cork shavings The frame, thwarts,
sc, are 50 arranged that whom folded
up the raft occupies Il space of about
nine by two feet. The cylinders are in
flatod by bellows at one end. The pro
prietors set its buoyancy at five tons,
the time required to initiate It is from
four to six minutes, and it weighs $50
pounds. One Of the most interesting
experiments with raft OF this constitute
ton was made in January, 1867, when
fifty-thrce soldiers and all their equip
mants, and four days ratious, an officer
and four seamen, were landed from q
vessel anchored three miles from shore
pulling with four cars ut the rate Of five
miles an hour, and shipping no water
The Ammen Raft IS fitted with cars,
mast, and sail. II consists Of two CT
gar-shaped cylinders made Of cedar, put
together il slaves like a cask. These
are hoped with galvanized iron and
sustained in position by system Of
framework Of light wood, so arranged
that the whole thing can be readily tax
en- apart and put together in a few min
utoa, leaving the cylinders intact and in
form to throw over in case a large buoy
should be wanted This raft IS put on
board of many United States vessels.

0 Christ of God whose life and death

Most quietly, most tenderly
Take home thy star-named child!
Thy grace is in her patient eyes,
Thy words are on her tongue,
The very silence round her seems
As if the angels sung.
Her smile is as a listening chiId's
That hears its mothers CALI
The lilies of thy perfect peace
About her pillow fall.
She leans out our clinging arms
To rest herself on thine;
Alone to the, dear Lord, can we
Our well-beloved resign.
Oh. less for her than for ourselves
We bow our heads and pray:
Her setting star like Bethlehem's,
To thee shall lead the way.

ed IN San Francisco that the revised

authorized the naturalization Of the
Chinese and any other Of theadult males
of the yellow races. The old law of 1902
declare that amy alien, being a free

vision was extended to cover aliens of
African nativity and persons Of African
descent" The revision uses the words
Of the law Of 1902 emitting "beinga free

the law, as now standing, breaks down
all barriers Of race or descent which
California has hitherto successfully
opposed.
