The Ventilation Of Railroad cars.

The Railroad Gazette says the great
difficulty in the way of securing good
ventilation, as any one who undertakes
to improve it will soon find out, is the
general indifference in regard to it. The
average American voter, or foreign
naturalized citizen, is as deficient in ap-
probation of the difference between pure
and impure air as he is of the literary
merits of say George Eliot's novels COM
pared with the Observation-Disclosures style
Of literature. In fact he rather prefers a
high temperature, both for the books he
reads and the atmosphere he breathes.
If, therefore, cars are to be ventilated
well, it must not depend upon the
agency of ordinary travellers.
Several years ago our attention was
called to the fact that by raising the end
window in a car in front of the stove and
putting the blind down, a plentiful sup
ply of fresh air would enter under or
binary circumstances, and that the cur
rent of the cold air would be directed
upward, by the inclination of the Stats
of the blind, 50 that on entering it would
mingle with the hot air which ascends
around the stove, and thus the current
of cold air would not produce any dis
comfort and, in fact, be imperceptible to
passengers. We therefore recommended
the printing of card with the follow
ing inscription:

A Peculiar Combat.

A singular fight was witnessed at
Giants Causeway, Ireland, last week.
Reynard, who was hungry, saw the
ravens feeding off some carrion near the
brink of a precipice, and thought he
would like one of them for his dinner.
He accordingly stole in near the carrion
and lay down apparently as ifdead. The
ravens had noticed him, and resented his
intrusion. One of them few and pecked
at him, when he tried 10 snap it, but in
vain. The little game was continued for
some time, when the ravens, getting en-
ragged, assumed the offensive. One at
tackled him at the head and the other at
the tail, and as he turned to beat off the
one the other was upon him. Poor Rey-
nard soon found he had caught a couple
of Tartars. His cunning stood him in
good stead for some time, but gradually
he was being worsted and forced toward
the edge of the precipice, and when at
length there, by a grand coup, he was
overbalanced and fell headlong into the
sea.

would let him know that though care
lesgness lost her hers, still she would wear
the one he returned because she would
be true to him no matter how false he
had been to her. And SO, when her
father called her down from her room,
she went with slow, listless footsteps and
wildly throbbing heart that would not
be still, to meet the man she loved So
dearly, the man who had ceased to regard
her almost as soon as he was out of her
presence. She heard his voice, so round
and full, and SO sweet to her hungry ears,
before she reached the door that stood
ajar.

She extended her hand, and looked him

she not7 She had no qualms of con-
science as he must have, and yet, how
strange, how very strange it was that he
was markedly agitated. Maggie had
naturally supposed he would have been
perfectly careless, utterly Indifferent,

man with ague. Had he been con-
science-smitten at sight of her loyalty to
him, Haunted so openly in the very face

what did they care?
That evening, when all the family,
with the two guests, we're sitting around

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
JACKSON, March 20.
Messrs. D,rant and Pryor .
GENTLEslEN-In reply to your suggestion,
l beg to say that in consequence of the cleo
ton of last November, found myself con-
fronted with hostile Legislature, and em-
barrassed and baffied in my endeayors to
carry out my plans for the welfare of my
State and my party. 1 resolved, therefore,
to resign my Office as Governor of the State
of Mississippi; but, meanwhile, articles Of
impeachment were instituted against me,
and, of course, l could not and would not
retire from my position under the imputa-
ton of any charge affecting my honor or in
tegrity. For the reasons indicated, | still
desire to escape the burdens, which are COM
pensated by no public usefulness, and il the
articles Of impeachment presented against
me were dismissed, / should feel at liberty to
carry out my desire and the purpose OF my
resignation. am, very truly yours,
TSigned,l ADELBERT AMES.
At three o'clock the Impeachment
Court assembled, and Mr.. Featherton
presented the resolutions, and asked that
the impeachment articles against Gov.
Ames be dismissed, which was done. Mr..

which she had forgotten, returned in

A FEW years ago there resided at the
Mission San Jose, in Alameda county,
California, two young ladies, between
whom, though not of kin, strong
friendship existed. They were married
at the same time and by the same SER
vice. They then took up their resi-
dences, one at Heywards and the other
at Alvarado. In the course of time they
gave birth to children on the same day,
the birth of one child preceding that of
the other by two hours. Three weeks
later both children died on the same
day, the elder dying just two hours be-
fore the other. Three weeks after the
death of the children, both mothers died
on the same day.

The business found in successful opera
tion not long since in the Ohio Peniten-
tiary has been completely outdone in the
Pennsylvania Pentitentiary. At the latter
institution it has been discovered that
several of the convicts have for long
time past been engaged in the manufac-
tuse of counterfeit fve-cent pieces. The
coins were an excellent imitation of the
genuine, and were made in plaster of
Paris molds of lead and zinc obtained
in the prison. It is gratifying to know
that even though they are shut out
from the societyo of their fellow men the
Pennsylvania conyicts are allowed some
innocent pastime.

IT is stated, upon what appears to be
good authority, that the Mormons are
preparing for an exodus of large num-
Der of their people, by tribes, from Utah
to New Mexico, where they have secured
lands by the millions of acres through
the old Spanish grants, bought for
song. To the furtherance of this plan,
and in order to mingle with and prose
lyte the people Of that country, they
have had their Mormon scriptures and
hymns, etc, translated into the Spanish
language. As New Mexico is an appli-
cant for admission as a State, it is sup
posed that these Mormon settlers will be
apt to fix the constitution to suit their
own notions There is only one consol-
ing consideration about this there is
nothing that can do New Mexico any
harm. Its deprayity is already total.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Graphic says that the stories of the
Dickens children in Illinois (the nephews
and niece of Charles Dickens) and their
prospects of coming upon the charity of
the public are without foundation.
From the letter of their guardian it
would appear that they have always had
agood home and watchful, tender care,
nor are they yet threatened with the
loss of it. Augustus, their father, was
considered to be rather the ne'er-do-
well" of the Dickens family. The oldest
son is preparing himself for the Method
ist ministry.

(: Raise the Front Window Next to the Stove an
/: Let down the Blind.

This recommendation was adopted by
Major E. T. d. Myers, General Superin-
tendent of the Richmond, Fredericks-
burg and Potomac Railroad, and in a
letter sometime afterward, which was
published in the Railroad Gazette. he
stated that the plan worked very salts
factorily.
We do not say the plan is the best
possible, but it is certainly the cheapest,
and our readers have the testimony
above of the General Superintendent OF
the road on which it is used as to its
efficiency. 1t should be observed, how
ever, that an essential element in the
adoption of this plan is the notice which
is posted up. It will avail little in
securing good ventilation if railroad
manager or car builder is acquainted
with the abstract truth that car can be
ventilated by opening the end window
and closing the blind, if the windows
never are opened. What must be aimed
at is that the windows shall be opened,
and the notices referred to are for that
purpose.

Rev. S. LOCKWOOD describes the little
reptile called the Florida chameleon in
tie Nataralist. The specific Latin name
of this lizard is Anolis principals, and It
Is sometimes known as the green Caro-
lima lizard, as it is not met with further
north than South Carolina. In its
ability to change color it resembles the
chameleon of the old world, from which,
however, it is structurally different. This
creature lives principally on flies aud
other insects and spiders. They make
very interesting pets, if we may believe

TIE publishers of Scribner's Monthly
have undertaken an enterprise which is
very commendable In the May num-
Der Of that popular magazine will be
begun series of papers on "Commer-
cial and Industrial Cooperation in the
United States and Great Britain" by
Mr.. Barnard, the author of "a Hundred
Thousand Homes Mr.. Barnard is to
be sent by the publishers to England
and Scotland to make an exhaustive ex-
animation of the subject in all of its
branches; and it is the intention to
place the subject of cooperation before
the American public in all its aspects !;
to give its methods of procedure and
detail its practical workings, and to re-
port its actual social and financial re-
suits. Noattention will be paid to mere
history or theory, and only working
plans, laws, methods and products will
be considered.
The Russian Telegraphic Agency
publishes the following: Despite the
happy conclusion of an armistice, the
general situation of the Oriental ques-
tion has rather been aggravated The
Porte has relapsed into inactivity, and
leaves European Cabinets to work for
peace, without aiding them, by the ap-
plication of reforms. On the other
hand, the revival of Mohammedan
fanaticisIn is announced. The recent
accounts of massacres of Christians are
confirmed. The Christians are calling
for reprisals, and five thousand insur-
gents have entered the districts Of
Behacs and Trauik. All these incidents
are the more serious, because they occur
at the beginning of spring. The Time,
Paris correspondent points out the
special gravity of the above Statement
as the dispatches of the Russian Tele.
graphic Agency are always strictly in
keeping with the opinions of the Rus
sian Government. The tenor of this
dispatch seems to show thai Europe al
last will know the immediate object o.
Russia's proceedings.

The long winter had passed away
somehow or other-Maggie Carol hard
ly knew how. 1t was enough for her to
know that she had been very wretched
and unutterably miserable since day,
months past, when without a word or
sign of warning, she had received from
George Wayland the cross he swore al
ways to wear for her sake.
Ned Morrison had seemed delighted
when he learned-how such pitiful facts
do leak out-that it was all over with
Maggie and George, and, full of pompos-
ity and self=importance over his inherit
ance, had tormented Maggie half crazy
to accept him. And now, when even his
dull head had been made to know it was
impossible, and he had transferred his
attentions and affections to Amy Har-
row, he was to be married, and George
Wayland and Jim Carol were coming
home on the same night.
1t was sundown, and in an hour George
and Maggie would meet, for he was
obliged to see her father on business at
the earliest moment And SO Maggie
dressed herself in the self same suit she
had worn that night George had tied the
velvet around her neck, dark claret silk
dress, and in painful memory of that
dear past, fastened the cross in its old
place. George Wayland should see she
