Railroads in the United States.

The Railroad Gazette publishes it's
annual statistics of construction, from
which it appears that the number of
miles of railroad built in the United
States during the year 1875 was 1,483,
against 2,025 miles in 1874, 1883 miles
in 1873, and 1910 miles in 1872. A
closer examination of the figures shows
that the work was in its most depressed
condition since the war in the early part
of last year, and that subsequently there
was very slight revival Nearly all the
new roads are short lines, intended to
serve local wants, the average length of
each construction being only seventeen
miles. In the South, railroad building
has almost wholly stopped. In the
Northwest it has fallen off ninety per
cent. since 1872. In New England the
amount is very little less than last year.
New York built more than any other
State last year, namely, 200 miles
against l25 miles in 1879. California
came next with ia miles, and Illinois
third with 172. The States OF Alabama,
Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Minnesota, Mississippi, Oregon, Rhode
Island, Tennessee, Virginia and West
Virginia, and all the Territories except
Utah, built none at all. The first of the
railroad States is now Illinois, with 1891
miles. Pennsylvania is second with
5. S05 miles, New York with 5, 450, and
Ohio fourth with 4. 405.

How many wretched homes in our land !
How many heart-broken jnvalids Life with
many signifies mere onerous existence. All

diseases peculiar to woman. Through her own
imprudonce and folly she il made to drag out
o miserable existence-a source OF annoyance
and anxiety to her friends, and everything but
Il Lmfort and pleasure to herself. Exposure
to the cold at times when she should be most
prudent aud overtaxiDg her body with labori-
Gus employment, are both fruitful causes of
many of the maladies from which she suffers.
Gradually the bloom leaves her cheeks her
lips grow asiy white her vivacity departs she
continually experiences a feeling of WEAKNESS
and general languor, and altogether presents
a ghostly appearance What docs she need Z
Should she take some stimulating drug, which

She requires something which not only will ro-
store to health the diseased organs, but will
tone and invigorate the system. DR.. Pierce's

A Chinese Bride.

A young Chinese bride came to her
Heath in the city of Tientsin recently,
says the China Overland Mail, under
circumstances of singular and rainful
interest. She had long been betrothed
to a young Chinese gentlemen living in
the city, but owing to the death of the
emperor, her wedding had been post
poned for several months. At length a
day was finally fixed for celebrating the
nuptials, and the lovely young bride, in
her wedding dress, was sent in grand
state to the house of her future husband.
The day was intensely hot. According
to the custom in this part OF China the
bride was placed in huge chair closely
yelled, and safely locked up. In due
time the joyful procession which accom-
panied the bride arrived in front of the
house of the affianced. The gaudy chair
was set down by the bearers and the
would-be mother-in-law unlocked the
door, when the bride was found sitting
bolt upright, stone dead. 1t is supposed
that the poor girl died Of suffocation.

In the City.

He was curious study as he stood on
the asphaltum walk in front of the city

SchOOlrOOm Tragedy.

A remarkable schoolroom tragedy oc.
CURED in Maine. 1t appears that Miss
Lucy Parks, young lady, perhaps
twenty-eigh years of ago, of Veazie,
has taught the village school at that place
for several terms. One of her pupils is
named Goody Smith, who is about
twelve years of age. Goody behaved
badly in school and his teacher called
him before her, when the following con-
versation ensued, Miss Parks at the
same time holding her hand on his head:
"Goody, will you get your lessons 2"
"No, I WON'T" "Then I must punish
you" eff I could get hold of slate
I'd knock your head off with it /" And
thereupon the youth put his hand in his
pocket and pulled out rusty gimlet,
with which he struck his teacher twice
on the hand, then thrust the point of
the instrument into her left breast, lust
above the heart. The weapon struck
rib, and glancing entered between the
ribs. Satisfied with his wicked work
the lad desisted. Miss Parks then went
to her home, where she now lies in a
critical condition, at times delirious and
talking wildly, and during the night
imagining herself pursued by her assail-
ants mother. Her hysteric laughs are
said by those who heard them to have
been frightful. 1t is hoped that she
may recover, though her family fear that
death will be the result of her injuries.
Goody Smith, the lad who committed
the deed, is half brother of Joseph
Smith, recently convicted at the SUI
preme court in Bangor of the murder of
Josslyn, and sent to the State prison for
life

The Wife Of an Ex.President.

The widow OF ex- President Andrew
johnson has survived her husband but q
few months. There Ia not q living ex-
President Of the United States at this
time, Sut there are yet three surviving
widows of ex- Presidents-Mrs. Abraham
Lincoln, Mrs, John Tyler, aad Mrs.
James X. Polk, whose husband was
President thirty years ago. Mrs. john
son, who died at Greenville, Tenn, had
been patient sufferer for many long
years, including those years when she
was tho occupant Of the White House.
She was sixty.six years OF age ut the
time OF her death. Her maiden name
was Miss Eliza McCardle, and she was
an attractive damsel when, in her seven
teenth year, she was wooed and won in
her mountain home by the poor but
ambitious young tailor of Greenville,
who was not yet twenty-one. She was
q bright young woman, who had oh.
the schools of the day in that part Of the
country; and there is no doubt that
Andrew Johnson, who felt the superiority
Of her requirements, was largely in.
debted to her for that mental stimulus
which led him into those studies which
no pursued with such assiduity from the
period OF their marriage. II is stated
that the youthful couple used to study
together far into the night, when all the
rest OF the villagers were asleep; that
she was in the habit of reading aloud to
him while he worked away at his trade
Of tailoring; that she aided him to learn
to read Auently, and that she guided his
hand while he struggled to acquire the
art Of writing. 1t is often said that she
taught him the alphabet. She was to
him most excellent and gentle house
wife, as we'll as teacher OF indefatiga.
BILE zeal, while at the same time she dis
played the best practical capacity in her
ways of life and in the ordering of their
humble household. In still other ways
she assisted him, and his early popularity
in Greenville was largely owing to the
frankness and amiability of her inter-
course with the people Of the village.
While at the White House she never
appeared in Washington society, was
known to but a small circle of acquaint-
ances, and was only on rare occasions
met by few of the friends who made
visits to the White House. She was
last seen, during her abode there, at a
party given to her grandchildren, when
she was unable to rise from her chair to
greet the guests who were presented to
her. Her daughter, Mrs. Patterson,
was happily able to relieve her from the
duties Of the household and of society.
"We are plain people," said she,
"from the mountains OF Tennessee, and
I trust too much will not be expected of
lis here"

Punished with Death.

A tramp was punished with death
near Rutland, Vermont. He entered
the house of farmer and received
meal. He began to poke the meat on
the table with his fingers, and, when the
farmers wife told him to use knife and
fork, he said "I was born and bred in
a shanty, and I amt going to begin put
ting on airs now" The farmer COM
manded him to go, but he replied that, he
would eat first, and then go his own way.
The farmer tried to put him out, and
the tramp shouted: "Jack, Jim, come
and help me clean out this sheebang 7"
That made the farmer believe he was to
be attacked by several men, and he
armed himself with q gun. A fight en-
sued in which the tramp was killed by
a chance shot. In the dead mans
pocket was a map of the New England
States, pencil marked, showing that his
wandering had been long and systematic.

The Scarlet Fever.

1t is as unnecessary for child to die
of scarlet fever, says Good Aeatth, as it
is that it should be blind with cataract.
Let us see: At any time before the body
has finished it's Intellectual struggle we
are able to help it, not by wonderful
medicines, but by the knowledge of
anatomy and the application of common
sense. We consult the sympathetic
nerve, and do what it commands us to
do. We must give this child salt when
it wants it we must give it acid when
it has fever-not vinegar, but lemon
juice, because the first coagulates albu-
men, and the latter does not, on account
of the surplus of oxygen which it con.
tains. To initiate the soothing mucous
in the intestines, which is now wanting,
and to give some respiratory food at the
same time, we add some gum arabic. To
restore and relieve the injured nerve we
apply more warmth. In practice we
can fulfill all this with the following
simple manipulations Undress the child
and bring it to bed at the very first sign
OF sickness. Give it, if it has already
fever, nothing but warm sourish lemon
ade, with some gum arabic in it. Then
cover its abdomen with some dry fan
mel. Take well folded bed sheet and
put it in boiling hot water !; wiring out
dry by means Of dry towels, and put
this over the flannel on the child's abdo-
men. Then cover the whole and wait.
The hot cloths will, perhaps, require re-
peated heat. According to the severity
of the case and its stage of progress,
perspiration will commence in the child
in from ten minutes to two hours. The
child then is saved (; it soon falls to
sleep. Soon after the child awakes it
shows slight symptoms of returning in
clination for food help its bowels, if
necessary, with injections of oil, soap
and water, and it's recovery will be as
steady as the growth of greenhouse
plant, if we'll treated. Of course if the
child was already dying, nothing could
save it, OF if it has effusions in the lining
of the heart or brain; it is much better
that it should die. But if the above is
applied in due time, under the eyes and
direction of competent physician, I
will guarantee that not one in hundred
will ever die of scarlet fever. I
know this will startle some of my read
ers, especially those who have children
already, but 1 shall go still further. I
maintain that a child will never get
scarlet fever if properly treated. Ii
child has correctly mixed blood, it will
not catch the disorder if put in bed with
a sick child. Thisis still more startling,
but nothing is easier of proof

A DlMcult Job.

An English paper tells US how verv
simply difficult Job was done there. Il
says:
The lofty chimney stack at Messrs.
Peter Mathews 4 Sons chemical works.
at Pitchcombe, Gloucestefshl has
lately become very iniuch out Of perpen.
aieu'ar' DIV almost without any build.
'~~s or engineering works being carried
out, tho stack has been brought back TO
It's original position. The stack is 1872
feet high, aud was built in 1862. II had
gradually fallen from its upright posi-
ton, and Mr.. Augustus Mat Jews con-
suited Mr.. H. j. Taylor, electric epgi-
neer, OF Nailsworth, who tested its pj BIZ
ton, and found II to DO three feet ten
inches out OF perpendicular, but under.
by process requiring no scaffoldahg.
The terms were agreed upon, and ac-
cordingly Mr.. Taylor commenced oper-
atoms few weeks ago, assisted by three
workmen. The chimney is of an octag-
onal shape, and the operations Of Mr..
Taylor consisted in cutting out one
course OF bricks from FIVE Of the sides,
and inserting thinner course, and then
letting the chimney fall upon the latter
and so pull itself upright. For this pur-
pose he erected platform about forty
feet from the base, and with hammers
and chisels he and his men cut through
the chimney, which at this point was Of
the thickness of about two feet. As the
bricks were removed from each side,
thinner course was substituted, and the
intervening spaces were filed with iron
wedges. This work lasted for about
three weeks, and unfortunately the
weather was most unfavorable, being
frequently very boisterous, and natur-
ally causing considerable alarm both to
Mr.. Mathews and to the venturesome
engineer himself. However, the Chin
ney stood through it all, and when
everything was in readiness the wedges
were withdrawn by Mr.. Taylor and his
three men, and the stack was brought to
its perpendicular position. It required
nice calculation to carry out this work,
and Mr.. Taylor is oomplimented on the
exactness with which he did it. He es-
timated that quarter of an inch would
bring over the stack about seven inches
at the top, SO that he had to lot it down
about an inch and a half, and had he ex-
ceeded his calculation by one-eighth of
an inch, the stack would have been
brought too far over, and there is little
doubt that it would have completely col
lapsed, and killed those on the spot
who were removing the wedges, as the
weight above where the work was being
carried on was estimated at one hundred
and fifty tons. The erection of new
stack would probably cost something
like eight hundred pounds, whereas
this has been Strengthened at about
tenth of the cost, and is now stated to
be in as good a condition as new one.
