TRIP by sA1tISo VESSEL To SOUTH AMERICA AND
BACK Our RAILWAY CARS ON sourH AMERICAN
ROADS.
Samuel X. Anderson, OF this city, who went
out to South Amerisa on the 9Th Of June, in
charge OF a number OF cars sent by the Jackson
K Sharp Company, returned home or Friday,
having had perfect health during his absence
MIR. Anderson had in charge the
putting together of eight passenger and
q freight cars. and gondolas for the Mogyana
Railroad, and passenger aud 20 freight cars,
and 10 gondolas for a road running from San
Paulo to Rio Janeiro, making in all 76 cars. The
cars were all worked ont, put together and ta-
ken apart again at the Jackson X Sharp works
in this city, and then shipped by Il sailing vessel
to Rio Janeiro, and from that port to Porto
Santos. The Mogyana railroad is about 80 miles
long, with lateral branch of 20 miles more.
MIR. Anderson says he had no trouble in get
ting such labor as he needed, AZ the skilled part
of the work had all been done before the cars
were shipped. The Portuguese language ID
mostly spoken by the natives, but many of them
could speak broken English.
At Campinas. the starting point of the rail
road, there is fine English College under
charge of the Presbyterian Missionary Society.
Rev. G.. N. Morton and a Mi Lane have the Su.
perintendance OF it at the present time. 1t is
supported by American families, in part,
but many native stn ients are being
taught in it. Outside OF Campinas
about leagues there is an American settle
ment engaged in the raising Of cotton. The
woods of Brazil though plenty and excellent for
facings veneers, and iiaishngs, are not adapted
to the general uso OF building. Ironore aud
coal are abundant but mining has not been de-
veloped aud the most of the coal used IL
broug ht from Portugal.

boastful talk of the sodity OF their party, aud
inflated estimates of the acoessions it has re-
oeived on the money question.
All political signs point distinctly to the cleo
tiou Of Hayes. II these signs prove misleading,
t will be because the Republican party liz under
mined and weakened by tho initiation deluson
to an extent which its chiefs do not dream of.
On the surfaca there are no Indications OF such
a condition Appearances are that but few
