statute OF 1878 restored the statute oil 1862 which
made residence outside the State bar to
the limitation, and that another act mas ex-
tended the period TO five years Judge WestbroOk

THE HERALD's GREATEST ENTERPRISE.

(From the Oakland (Oal.) News, july 13
The NEW YORK HERALD seems determined to be
ahead OF all OF its contem poraries in the way OF
new enterprises. When It sent the Stanley ex-
petition into the heart OF Africa TO look up the
long unheard OF Livingston 1t was for long time
after his retura dilncult TO convince the world
that stanley was not an mpostor. But at length
the truth was believed, and the HERALD was
crowned with tAe wreath OF credence. This sum-
mer the HERALD has undertaken an enterprise
which must be even more expensive
than the expedition into Africa, for 1t
is nothing less than running railroad
train from New York to Niagara Falls
daily, distance OF at least 600 miles, This move
ment brings tue HERALD into Chicago and oonse-
quently into San Francisco, twenty-tour hours be.
fore any other New York paper, or IN about six
days. The train which carries the paper between
New York and Niagara dashes along at the rate OF
nifty miles an hour, and sxcursionists may leave
New York st two O'Clock A. M, reach the Pals
little before two O'Clock P. NJ. the same day, and
return the same evening" TO New YORK If they o
desire.

THE HERALD LIGHTNING EXPRESS.
FAST TRAINS.


from the St. Louis Republican, July 1871
copy OF the HERALD OF July was delivered Of
this once before eighS O'Clock on the evening OF
July 5, and We learn from recent files OF San
Francisco papers, that the HERALD OF the same
date was placed In the oflces In that city before
the close OF the week. The transcontinontal trip,
from ocean to ocean, was made In just six DAYS
and fifteen hours, which Is considerably less than
the schedule time allowed the regular passenger
This same trip took something more than ten
days when the overland railroad was frst opened
and 1t has thus been shortened more than one
third already. 1t is not unreasonable To expect
that 1t viii be cut down 10 less than four days
within the next ten years, under the stimulus
or active competition and improved machinery.
We are, indeed, considerably behind the
age III this matter OF speed, and IL Is
q remarkable fact, for the Yankee OF all others
demands rapidity OF motion. Our usually slow
going cousin, John Bull manages TO get over
ground on his railways q good deal faster than
We do, and we should like 10 have some enter
prising cockney come over and show that the
same thing can Just as well be done here as there.
An average speed across the continent OF forty
miles an hour would put us In San Francisco at
least day sooner than We get there now, ana
considerably lessen the dreary monotony OF sage
brush and alkali plains. The long distances trav-
ersed In this country make travelling more wearl-
some, and fast time is a matter or o great deal
more Importance than 1t Is anywhere else la the
world, excepting In India. Pullman palace
coaches are introducing ideas OF comfort to John
Bull which he never dreamed OF before, and 1t is
only fair That our railroad people should return
the compliment, and borrowing some OF his ideas
about fast time mako our rides on the ran trile
more endura0le.
