Quickest Trip on Record.

A notable exploit in railroad time has just been achieved by private enter prise. A special train, consisting of hotel Car, passenger car and baggage car, and conveying twenty five or thirty passengers, left New York at 12:42 A. M., Thursday, June 1, and reached San Francisco at 9:39 A. NJ. Qocal time), on Sunday, June 4. Allowing three hours, thirteen minutes and twenty-seven sec onds for the difference in longitude, the time actually occupied in making the trip of 3,316 miles was eighty three hours, ffty-nine minutes and sixteen seconds. This continued rapid rate of travel has no parallel. The average speed for the entire trip was forty two miles per hour, including stoppages, though at times a considerably higher rate was accomplished. At one point, fifty-f miles were traversed in fifty. four minutes. The arrangements seem to have been admirably provided for, and no accident of any sort occurred to mar the enjoyment of the few passen- gers. As an illustration of what can be done, the trip unquestionably marks an epoch in the history of railroad travel, but for the ordinary purposes of com mercial convenience it is questionable whether such rapid gait will be eonsid cred safe or desirable.

70 wad some power the giftie gfe us, To see oursel's as ithers see us.


 Behold that pale, emaciated figure, with downcast eye, like some criminal about to meet her fatal See that nervous, dlstrustful look, as she walks along with slow and un- steady step. The pink has left her cheeks and the cherry her lips. The once tpsrknng' dancing eyes are now dull aud expressionless. The once warm, dimplod hands are now thin and cold. Her beauty has fled. What has wrought this wondrous change? What Is that which is lurking beneath the surface of that once lovely form? Does she realize her terri ble condition? Is she aware of the woeful ap- pearance she makes? Woman, from her very nature, is subject to 8 catalogue of diseases from which man is entirely exempt. Many of these maladies are induced by her own care leesness or through ignorance of the laws of her being. Again, many female diseases, if properly treated, might be arrested in their course, and thereby prove of short duration. They should not be left to an inexperienced physician who does not understand their na- ture, and is, therefore, incompetent to treat them. The importance of attending to female diseases in their earliest stages cannot be too strongly urged. For if neglected, they fre- quently lead to consumption, chronic debility, and oftentimes to insanity. In all classes of female diseases, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scription is without rival. No medicine has ever surpassed it. In " The Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser" of which R. V. Pierce, M. D., of Buffalo, N. Y., is the author and pub fisher, is an extended treatise on woman and her diseases. Under this head the various affections to which woman is incident are care fnlly considered, accurately portrayed, and & restorative course of treatment suggested Every woman, as she values her life and health, should possess g copy of this valuable book. If she be diseased this !" adviser" will show her Low she may be restored to health, and also direct her how she may ward of many maladies to which she Is constantly being ex- posed. Let every suffering woman heed this timely advice and sec herself as others see hor. Price of Adviser" $l.50 (post-paid) to any address,

Lace Sacks.

The handsomest sacks of real hand made gulpure, fashion journal says, are of long, graceful shapes, with the seams of the shoulders and side forms fashioned by inch-wide insertions of gnlpure Tn designs to match the piece lace of which the garment is made. This piece guipure comes in exceedingly fine qualities twenty seven inches wide, and costs from SIS to $27 8 yard. The sack when complete with 8 lace border is sold for $75. Sacks of similar designs and shape have real guipure border and in- sertion, while the piece lace is of imita- tlon guipure; these cost from $2O to $50. Llama lace sacks are not so much sought after as they have been, hence short ones with slashed back and close sleeves are sold in very fair quality as low as ST. Real Chantilly lace sacks. ex- qulsitely fine, but in the short shapes of last season, are reduced to $55, when they formerly brought $75 or $1OO. This shows the risk of investing much money in these fancifnl garments that are always passing fashion. Shawls, mantles, or scarfs are susceptible of all iteration, and, indeed, seldom go entire ly out of. fashion, but sacks cannot be changed into any other garment. Those who have short ones left on hand are using them as house and afternoon sacks over silk or muslin dresses. They are more dressy when sleeveless, and m )st llama sacks are woven so that tie sleeves can easily be removed. Pretty aud very dressy sleeveless sacks are made of lengthwise puffs of black Brus- ssls net alternating with black gros gra D ribbon an inch wide. The net is hel,l very slightly full in the puffing. The @ lge of the garment is finished with g knife plating made of the net doubled.

Chin; SC Newspapers.

The correspondent of the London Ivnaes at Shanghai says: I have more than once referred to the progress of Chinese newspaper which is published at Shanghai under foreign auspices. It is satisfactory to know that its circula- tion and influence are steadily extend ing, and that the Chinese show lively appreciation of the advantage it offers for discussion, in the publication of cor
 respondence, judicious criticism of off cials, etc. The circulation has risen to nearly six thousand daily, the price being ten cash, or something less than a halfpenny. The proprietor has now made an effort 10 reach the lower classes by printing smaller, and even cheaper edition, at half that cost. For one-ffth of penny Chinese coolie, who has had, say two years schooling, can buy one of these papers specially written for his benefit in the easiest colloquial die tion, and made plain by breaks between the sentences, marks against proper names, etc., to help him to understand.

Minerals in Australia.

Queensland and New South Wales have large breadths of coal land, and so thick are the veins and so easily are they worked that the coal is delivered on barges at $3.50 ton. This coal is bitu- minous, and it's value may be judged by iron men from the fact that 1t makes fine coke, which is so much ill demand for the ocean steamers that it sells for $6O a ton. This coke is much more solid than coal, and 1t looks somewhat like a metal.
 Iron ore is plentiful, but such is the dearness of labor that none is yet manu factured, and the Australians. will be content to buy American edge tools, and even railroad iron, if it can be shipped cheap enough. They have high opinion of much of our hardware, espe- cially saws and axes. The American woodsmen's ax is their ideal of perfect tool.
 There is large export of copper to England. Some of their mines are ais much as two hundred miles from ship ping ports, and it costs $6O ton to haul the copper thither. But they are building railroads as fast as they are able, and soon great facilities will be afforded. The standard gauge of their railroads is noticeable. Six hundred miles of the Queensland road is three feet six. These roads enter mountains from the coast region by tunnels, and wind by heavy grades to an elevation oi 2,O00 or 5000 feet. Miners wages are from $2 to $3 day. Anthony is shipped largely. Gold was first discov. cred in Queensland in 1868, and the yield since then has been $35, GOO, ,O00 Other colonies have yielded much more. Little or no silver has been found. Lead is plentiful, but it seems not to be ex tracted, and there are no white lead works in the country.
 No metal is more proftably worked than tin, and none has caused so much excitement and influenced so largely the industry of the country as the com paratively recent discovery. The plen tifulness of the ore at present is sucI that the main cost is in labor and trans portation. It is almost all stream tin coming from old river bars, and it is SC found nowhere else ill the world. In tht time of Julius Caesar, however, the til of Britain was found in similar locali ties. Not all the gold excitement O Australia has equaled the excitemen over these tin mines, and 1t is under stood that their production has been & great that the Cornwall mines are closed and even the price has been reduced.

Loves Sacrifice.

A conversation overheard by long cared St. Louis reporter the other day ]:
 "Ain't that Mary Ann Gibson on the sidewalk ?' said one woman to another, in a street car.
 "Oh, yes; that's Mary Ann,' was the response, "and that's nice baby she has, too, isn't 1t 7? She has pleasanter time of it since she married that car penter than she did when she was a wait CT with us at the hotel.
 "Well, that's just as people thinks, J answered the first speaker, scornfully. "There's them as thinks it's pleasant to lug baby round and have nothin' else on their minds, and maybe it's nice to have man to earn the money, but one gets lat and homely on it. I tell you what, Maria, if thought I'd get suc1 a fgper as Mary Ann has now, wouldn' t marry the best man ill St. Louis, no, not if he were pork packer with gold and jewelsI I shln't sacrifice my tigger, not if I know myself !"

How to Kill the Potato Beetle.

A letter from Professor Packard has just been published by the Agricultural Experiment Station at Middletown, Conn.,, which contains these statements
 The "potato bug" Il ay be looked for early in June. Its eggs will be found on the under surface of the leaves they arc bright orange red an1 quite large. The beetle itself is 8 roundish insect, half an inch long, has ten black stripes on the back, and is reddish un- derneath. It is larger than the lady buzz" which somewhat resembles 1t. The grub is thick, fat, and orange red in color, ivcs about ten days on the leaves and stems, after which it enters the ground to become beetle. Thus near ly all the life of the insect is passed on the plant. The offspring of last years beetles will begin to lay eggs ill about fifty days from tho time the egg from which itself sprung was depo~ited. Probably not more than two crops of them will appear in our climate, but each female is capable of producing more than thousand eggs.
 The remedies are hand picking, both of the mature beetle, the grubs and the eggs. They should all be burned. Paris green is also largely used. This is 8 most deadly poison, containing arsenic. It is almost insoluble in water. It may be mixed with plaster, flour or fine dry earth, and dusted on the plants from Q sitter or bellows, or applied stirred up in water, about tablespoonful to 8 pailful, and thrown from syringe, or sprinkled from watering pot. In any case great care must be taken not to breathe the dust or handle with naked hands.
 A number of specimens collected in New York are being analysed in the la boratory of the station. They range in price from twenty-eight cents per pound (wholesale) to eighteen cents, and contain from ten and one-half to forty six per centum of insoluble adultera- tions. The arsenic varies from fifty-fve per centum in the best to twenty per centum in the lower grades. Some are mixtures of Scheele's green, others are Schweinfurth green. The former, when pure, contains seventy-one and one-hali per centum of arsenious acid and twen- ty-eight and onehalf per centum oi copper oxide. The latter should con- tain fifty eight per centum arsenious acid, thirty one per centum copper oxide ana ten per cenGum aceGlc acld. From these facts itappear5 that it will be m ost economical to buy the best. Ask for pure paris green. It will probably cost fifty cents per pound. If it seems to be of doubtful quality send smal sample to the station at Middletown fol analysis, first finding out the name o1 the manufacturer No time should be lost if the potato crop is to be saved, as the beetle has appeared in alarming numbers in many parts of the State.

Horrible Accident.

One of the most painful accidents which 1t has for long time been our duty to record, says the Leavenworth (Kan.) Times, occurred in the holding room of the Great Western foundry. A young man named Frederick Keiper, who was learning the trade, is the un- fortunate victim. It seems that he was engaged, like the older holders, in car rying the molten iron fir m the cupola or furnace to patterns, and while in the act of taking a full ladle of the seething mass, weighing eighty pounds, across the room, he struck the bowl against the pattern board, which, by some accident, had been left with one end projecting into the gangway, and, as he was walk ing rapidly, the contact of the ladle with the board threw him around in such position that his left leg came in contact with the edge of the bowl, which, being held by long, slim handle, was tipped over to one side toward his leg, spilling almost it's entire contents against the leg of his pantaloons, which, in a sec ond, was destroyed, and the red hot mass forced it's way downward into the | leg of his boot, and almost as soon burn ed through the bottom and ran out on the ground Realizing that he was dangerously injured, the young man threw the ladle away and begun trying to remove the boot, at the same time calling for assistance.
 A colored man who is employed inthe foundry ran to him and soon got his boot off, which took with it large fakes of skin. The wounded man was made as comfortable as possible until the arri val of a physician, who examined the wound, and disco vered that the heel was nearly burned off and that 8 semi circle of flesh, reaching half way round the ankle, across the bottom of the foot, was literally roasted to the bone. The whole foot will have to be amputated.

HOUSE

The House proceeded to consider the bill reported from the committee on public lands, repeating the section of the revised statutes making restrictions in the disposal of public lands in the States of Alabama, Mississippi, Louislana, Arkansas and Florida. It repeals that section which confines the disposal of public lands in those States to the provisions of tho omestead law. It provides, however, that the repeal of the said section shall not impair the right of any homestead settler, and that the said lands shall be offered at public sale as soon as practicable. The bill was passed-yeas 106 nays, 97.
 Mir. Cannon (Rep.), of Illinois, from the committee on post-ofices and post roads, re- ported bill providing penalty for mailing obscene books, and prohibiting lottery circu- lars passing through the mails. Passed.
 Amendments were agreed to as follows: Increasing the appropriation for wrapping twine from $45,0 900 to $50, 900; for marking and rating stamps, from $6,000 to $10, 900; for letter balances and scales, from $3,006 to $5, 900; and for the preparation of post route maps, from $20,0O to $40, ,0OO; $40,00O for advertising instead of $25, 900 as proposed by the House.
 Mir. Sherman CRep.), of Ohio, moved to fix the appropriation for compensation of post masters at $7,2O0,0OO and to provide that 8 reduction on the rate of compensation shall begin on the first day of October next. Agreed to.
 After several other amt ndments the bill was read third time and paSsed.
 Mir. Lord (Dem.), of New York, offered 8 joint resolution recommending an additional amendment to the constitution, providing that officers of the United States, such as assessors, postmasters, marshals and collectors (except collectors of customs duties) shall be elected for 8 term of four years. Referred. On motion of Mir. Holman Oem.), of In diana, the Senate amendments to the Post office Appropriation bill were non-concurred in.
 Mir. Terry (Dem.), of Virginia, from the committee on military affairs, reported back | the Senate bill in reference to detail of army officers as professors at State military acade mes, extending the limit from twenty tc l thirty. After some discussion the bill was passed-yeas, 122; nays, 50.
