1t Wasdecided lately that a double
track narrow-gauge road should be
i15aRs within the fence, to encircle
all the Centennial buildings. There
will be a station at every building,
and the entire length of the road
will be between three and four miles.
When the road is completed visitors
can examine every building in order
without walking asquare on the out
side. Some OF the fine old oaks,
however, being on the projected line,
will have to be cut down.

EASTERN DISPATCHES
ESPECIAL TO TIE SILVER STATED

New YORK, April 81.
The Herald this morning publishes
seven columns from its Rome eorre-
spondent, who states that the Pope IS
rapidly declining in health and
strength. He refuses to leave the Vati-
can, feeling he would violate the dig
nifty of his Office in going beyond the
palace and grounds over which the
Italian Government does not assert
jurisdiction. The weight of years
presses upon him with reater force in
consequence of this seclusion and anx-
iety which attends his contest with
what be regards as the usurping
italian Government.
The murderer Sharkey's case is still
in allowance at Havana. Want of an
extradition treaty with Spain is the
principal obstacle to his being returned
to New York.
A special from Kingston, New York,
says Mrs. Henry Van Buren,, aged 60
years, a Spiritualist, shielded on Tues
day night by taking laudanum, because
the spirits told her she must take her
life.
A letter has been received from Carl
Schurz, of st. Louis, accepting the in
vitation extended to him by number
of prominent citizens of New York to
attend public banquet in this city on
the 9th instant previous to his depar
ture for Europe.
WASHINGTON, April %.
General Williams stated that he has
had in contemplation for some time
the purpose of retiring from his office,
and on that subject had frequently
talked with the President, but short
time before the President left Washing
ton to attend the Centennial he for
mally rendered his resignation, to take
effect on the selection of his successor.
The President has not yet signified his
acceptance of Mr.. Williams resigna-
ton, but the latter expects to be re-
lieved by the middle Of May. 1t is the
intention of Mr.. Williams to engage i'll
the practice of law in this city. He has
been at the head Of the department Of
Justice for three wears.

LETTER FROM DIR. BRONSON.
G.. p. R. r.. April 10, 1875.


EDITOR SILVER STATE: Please receive
nv best wishes, and be assured L bear
YOU no malice for that small paragraph
noticing my demise, being satisfied
that you received your information
from others, and being told by your
friends that you are gentleman, and l
sincerely wish l could say the same OF
quite number of your would-oe
smart men," but pardon me when L
say cannot in the face OF truth and
Darwin descent.
Now your statement that J. was dead
is not only natural but is perfectly
plain and easily understood, and |
have become used to it, as it is the
second time that l have found myself
in a like predicament. With this l
find no fault; and l know the time
must come when it will cease to be a
Joke. But you stated that L was
- eccentric, WHICH, "uSu "ho III
your place | was at loss to determine
the why's and whereofs," but as l
neared the bland and genial atmos-
phere famed by gentle zephyrs of the
Golden State, my mind seemed soon to
solve the mystery, at least to my salts
faction, viz, having twice been report
ed dead, and both times having been
able to put in personal appearance,
may be considered by some an unusual
thing; but I lave become used to it,
so if this be one of my eccentricities
all right, and i. being honest, truthful
and lowing no man anything " being
another, then to me there is nothing
surprising that nine tenths of your
:" burg" should consider me so very
eccentric, and that the last with them
should be considered AS much or even
more miracle than the first.
At forty miles an hour, IN sight OF
the Lunatic Asylum, [ am yours truly,
ABRAM Bronson.
