ten by thirty feet, and n number of retiring

This depot is reached by u circle of three
tracks sweeping from the main roadway
four-iifths of u mile long, and the diameter
of the circle they describe is 600 feet. All
trains will enter this circle heading west,
and depart from the depot heading east.
Three trains can be landing or receiving
passengers in front of the depot at the
same time, the entire tracks being Hoored
over and no matter in what direction the
trains may come or go, they can be moved
without confusion, delay or danger.
Seventeen additional sidings have been
constructed, connected with this circle, of a
length of 1000 feet each, upon which wait
ing trains can be run and remain with en-
gines attached, until the time arrives for
them to enter upon the circle, receive their
passengers, and depart for destination.
This arrangement of tracks and sidings is
novel, and affords facilities for the transac-
ton, without detention or confusion, of an
almost unlimited passenger business.

for combining the highest speed with the
most perfect safety has been adopted. The
company has built POO elegant cars, with
engines of the first class ample to move all
trains that may possibly be required.
Centennial visitors will find the Pennsyl-
vania road the only direct route from the
West, North and East to the Centennial
Exhibition, the rates as low as by any other
route, the time made by it the quickest, and
the accommodations for comfort, luxury
and safety unequaled. Careful agents, on
all trains, will arrange for the prompt and
cheap delivery of all baggage and, for fifty
cents, sell seats in comfortable carriage to
any point in Philadelphia.
Above all, these visitors will be landed at
the very doors of the Exposition, in the
beautiful Centennial depot of the company
represented in the above cut. 1t stands OPP

exhibition building from Machinery hall,

A Tale of Horrors.

James Carrick, seaman i'm charge of the
bark Caswell, reports at Queenstown as fol.
lows: "On leaving Antofogasta, the crew
consisted OF the Captain, mate, second mate,
steward, three Greek, two Italian and two
English seamen, a carpenter aud two boys.
On the 4th OF January the Greek and Italian
sailors mutinied, and murdered the officers.
Knowing something of navigation, took
charge. The foreigners wished to take the
vessel to Greece. About month afterward
when off the coast of Brazil the boys over
heard plot, between Greeks and Italians
to murder the Englishmen aboard. The
carpenter and myself succeeded in over
powering one of the Greeks, whom we put
in irons. We were compelled, i'm self de-
tense, to kill the other Greeks, one of whom
was the ringleader OF the mutiny. The two
Italians then left the vessel on boat, taking
"a letter from me to deliver when they got
ashore. The vessel was brought here by the
remainder of the crew."
A London dispatch says: The bark
Caswell arrived ut Queenstown May
13, in tow OF the Cunboai.
The mutineers killed Captain Best, who
belonged in London, and the first and sec.
ond mates and steward, all of Glasgow.
One of the seamen killed two Of the mutt.
neers, both Of whom were Greeks. Another
Greek sailor was badly cut with an ak, but
survived, and was landed prisoner at
Queenstown. Captain Best was shockingly
mutilated. The mates were stabbed and
shot. The steward was shot while coming
up the companion ladder. All four were
tied together and thrown overheard, the

southern shores of the great lakes, on the
Mississippi and Ohio rivers, and on the At
lantic harbors. The main road from New
York TO Philadelphia, though passing
through the principal cities of New Jersey,
does not deviate six miles from an air line,
and this detection is due to the interposition
of navigable waters. These routes not only
excel in directness az well as in thc'number
of important cities and towns they connect,
but they are confessedly superior in con-
struction and equipment. Between Pitts
burgh and New York, 444 miles, the entire
line is double track, laid with heavy steel
rails with joints connected between ties by
process that gives the effect of continuous
rail, on which there can be no unpleasant
jarring. All bridges on the line are of iron
or stone. A large portion of this distance is
provided with third track, which enables
freight trains to keep entirely out of the
way of passenger travel, and permits the
express trains to run their allotted distance
without interruption, and near Philadel-
phia, and other important terminal points,
four tracks have, for considerable dis
tances, been completed.

The, Pennsylvania \. railroad company,
whose lines penetrate every section of the
Union, and directly connect all important
points with Philadelphia, has made magnif-
cent preparations for conveying, with safety
and comfort, the millions of people who in
tend visiting the Centennial Exhibition di-
rectly to the Centennial grounds. The loca-
ton of the Exhibition made it impossible
for any other railway to directly reach the
Exhibition buildings and grounds, and the
management, ever since the site was des-
ignated, has employed its gigantic equip
ments and unrivaled facilities to make the
Exhibition success, by providing the
amplest accommodations at the minimum
price, for both exhibitors and visitors. 1t
was fitting that railway company, national
limits character and operations, should thus
second the commissioners i'm illustrating our
centennial history by demonstrating the
high degree of excellence attained by the
railway transportation system of America,
in making the great thoroughfarcs uniting
the Atlantic seaboard and the Mississippi
valley, the West, Northwest and Southwest

bic in all its essentials and details.

In France eggs are not sold rs they

big or little, those of the large Brabma

brought to market arc verified by agents
appointed by the administration, who
are called "mireurs compteurs," and
the eggs are submitted to three opera

Der of eggs in the panniers; passing them
through rings to test their size and value;
and final inspection to separate the clean
and fresh from those stale or added.
Small eggs in the markets of Paris are
those which will pass through ring Of
four centimeters. Hence, French egg
merchants have rings of different sizes to
try the eggs.

At a recent sitting of the Council General
Of the Department of Vaucluse, France, a
member spoke in opposition to the proposed
subscription for the monument to be erected
by the Franco-American Union, asserting
that the Americans showed ingrattude
toward France during the late war. The
Prefect refuted this assertion, and recalled
the fact that during the late war he was
Prefect of Dijon, and in the presence of an
invasion he received delegation of Ameri-
can citizens who handed him 200 900 francs
for the sick and wounded. Subsequently
another delegation of Americans brought
him additional subscriptions, altogether
more than 100000 francs. The remarks Of
the Prefect we're received with applause by
the citizens present at the discussion.
The Turks are reinforcing their positions

After introduction by the Chairman. Judge
Harris said that he had no words to express
his gratitude to the friends who had stood by
him in this struggle. The fight against him
had not been political but 4 personal one,
not against him az a public man, but against
him as an individual, and the defense and vim
dicaton of him bv such an overwhelming ma
jority Of the voters of the district, and the re-
pudiation of the charges preferred against him
had been alike gratifying to him as a
man, as a husband and as a parent. Against
those who had earned on this warefarc he held
no i'll feeling and like Uncle Toby. he could
say to them, ':Go little fly, this world is large
enough for you and me-"
He was thankful that the quarter horses
had been withdrawn, and that he had been
placed against an opponent so distingrlisheoas
Judge Robertson, and proceeded to deliver a
warm enlogy upon the talents and services OF
that gentleman.
He then went OH to say that it had not been
his intention to enter this canvass st all and
that he had written card declining to be again
a candidate. but had suppressed its publication
in consequence of the combination which had
been formed against him. LII support OF this
assertion he read letter written to his little
son, enclosing the card, and ordering its pub
LEGATION, and also q telegram which had been
sent to his wife countermanding the order.
The address was almost entirely of self, and
was interrupted several times by cries of ''how
about the Wells campaign" 'salary grab, !"
&c., and at one time the threats TO put the
boisterous auditor out threatened to Great quite
q row.
After the address, which was about as poor
an effort as could well have been produced, the
convention adjourned, and in ten minutes the
bar rooms were crowded.

Immediately after the nomination was made,
