THE RUssELLvILLE DEMOCRAT. THURSDAY, 1876
The Great Victory over Time.

The Great Victory Over Time.
 The arrival of Jarrett and Palm CTS transcontineltal express at San Francisco at twenty five min- utes past nine o'clock yesterday morning, bearing copies of the New York Herald of Thursday last, is one of the greatest tri- umphs over old Father Time that the age has recorded. A journey of three thousand three hundred and sixteen miles in eighty-three hours and twenty minutes, or a fraction less than forty miles an hour, including all stoppages and delays, is an accomplishment that marks distinct era in railroad travelling. Perhaps the most re markable thing about the jour- ney is that it has not required any other appliance to complete it than those already in use. ex- cept the injection of that quality which to-day we call enterprise, and which Christopher Columbus | illustrated for his belittlers when he crushed in the end of the egg over three centuries ago. The sametrack, engines, cars, fuel, wat
 CT and officials were used to lessen this journey by three days that had combined to keep the time of transit from ocean to ocean twice as long during the past seven years. The head to ar range the details beforehand, and which commanded the ready ser vice of a thousand trained hands, was what made the trip from Jer
 sey City to Oakland a marvel among the achievements of the rail. To all concerned in it, from Messrs. Jarrett and Palmer down to the Chinese laborers in Weber Canyon, a debt of gratitude is due which the warm instincts of the American people for all that smacks of material progress will promptly recognize and pay. That it is but the extension on a superb scale of what the Herald, humbly fulfilling it's duty to the public, has done in the way ot fast trains over shorter routes, dctracts nothing from the brilliant feat of the gentlemen at the head of the present successful trans continental express. In starting the Herald special fast trains to the service of our readers what had already been the almost ex- elusive right of railroad magnates in a hurry to travel from point to to point. To some of the long fast dashes made upon the New York Central, record of which will be found elsewhere, we would refer our readers. In such occa- sional feats the Herald saw it's chance te make them a perma- nent benefit to the community and the fast mail train to the West was the first broad applica. tion of this open secret to the Post Office service. What is to- day a wonder in the transconti
 mental journey will not easily be surpassed or even equalled foI many a day, but as it has shown that the thing can be done, we hope to see a regular train soon attempt to emulate the time ot Jarrett and Palmer's express, and so shoYe back further into the Dark Ages the time when the old emigrant road across the Plains was strewn with the graves O
 men who started with a horse an( wagon, and when the pony ex press seemed a revelation.

Southern Standard: "The rain, it raineth every day" It rained on Tuesday, it rained on Wednes. day, it rained on Thursday and Thursday night. It is getting somewhat monotonous, and ope- rates against the crop prospects, especially cotton, which is getting somewhat Sin the grass"
 Beebe Magnet: Crop prospects are fine in this section. The geass has got ahead of some of our farmers, but they will come up all right in a few days. Wheat is being cut in some localities and others say they will cut theirs in a few days. The crops will be above the average after all the grumbling and prophesying that people could do.
 Beebe Magnet: Reports from the fruit growers are unfavorablc. The apple trees are full of fruit but it is nearly all "faulty" and does not have a healthy appear. ance. In several instances we have been told that the body of the trees had turned black, the fruit looking shriveled and i'm perfect Well, we should expect strange things this year, but somehow we don't like to have our ratiohs of fruit cut of if it is the Centennial.
 Camden Beacon: The crops, in this section, are doing finely, too much rain in some localities. In fact we hear that in some DOT tions, the crops are entirely wash ed from the fields.
