The Railroad strike that we men
toned last week as affecting only thu
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, has
since that time assumed the most al
arming proportions, nearly all the
roads North and West having suffered
by strikers. The first serious out
break was ct Baltimore, where the RI
oters having de6ed the military, we're
fred upon and q number killed and
wounded. Al Pittsburgh, On the

ployes had also joined in the strike)

the Company's round house and forti-
fed themselves. but they were besieg-
ed by the rioters (now numbering H..
OO0) with small arms and cannon. and
after . hot fight, during which num-
bers were killed on both sides, the mi.
litia succeeded in making their escape
to the woods pursued by thousands Of
the infuriated demons. At many 9TH
er points North and West, the same
scenes of horror we're enacted but on
. smaller scale. At Reading, Pa, it
is said thata collision between the stri-
kers and the military resulted in the
killing and wounding Of thirty per-
sons. Cincinnati and Louisville have
90 far, escaped the extreme horrors,
but hands of men have paraded their
streets, breaking street lamps, win
dows, &c. A noticeable fact about the
whole trouble. is, that the extreme RI
oters at every place were not the strik-
ers, but thieves and roughs, who have
improved the occasion TO accomplish
their lswless deeds Of plundering. A
mob was formed in Louisville, altho'
DR.. Stamford Of the L. 4 N. rail-
road had acceded to most of the de-
mands of the Railroad employees. The
mob, which we understand contained
not Railroad man, stoned the houses
of the Mayor and DR.. Stamford, and
finally set fire to the L. Il N. Depot.
The prompt action Of the police, with
the assistance Of the best citizens, soon
succeeded in quoting them. Arms
have been obtained from the armory
at Frankfort, and 1000 citizens Of
Louisville are under arms. All was
quiet at last accounts, though the Com
pany have for prudent reasons thought
it hest to stop the freight trains for the
present.

If some celestial railway could he imag-
ined, the journey to the sun, even if our
trains ran 90 miles an hour. day and night
and without stop, would require over
175 years. Sensation, even, would not
travel go far in human lifetime. To bor-
row the curious illustration of Pr, fessor
Mendenhall if we could imagine an infant
with an arm long enough to enable him to
touch the sun and burn himself, he would
die of old age before the pain could reach
him, since according to the experiments of
Helmholtz and others, a nervous shock is
communicated only at the rate of about
100 feet per second or 1887 miles u day,
and would need more than $50 years to
make the journey. Sound would do it in
about IA years if it could be Transmitted
through celestial space, and Il cannon ball
in about 0, if it were to move uniformly
with the same speed as when it left the
muzzle of the gun. If the earth could be
suddenly stopped in her orbit, and allow
ed to fall unobstructed toward the sun
under the accelerating influences of his at
traction, she would reach the central fire
in about four months. ! have said if she
could be stopped, but such is the compass
of her orbit that, to make it's circuit in a
year, she has to move nearly 10 miles a
second, or more than fifty times faster than
the swiltest rifle-ball; and in moving 90
miles her path deviat,s from perfect
straightness by lcsst han one.ei shth of an
inch. And yet, over all the circumference
of this tremendous orbit, the sun exercises
his dominion, and every pulsation of his
surface receives its response from the sub
ject earth.-Prof. O. A. Young, in Popular
Science Monthly for February.

A Wesleyan missionary, the Rev. George
Brown, has returned in safety from an ex-
petition of twenty months on the unknown
coasts Of New Britain and New Ireland
He crossed the latter island, which he
found well populated mo white man
was ever seen inland before, but no oppo-
sition was offered to the explorers. A
difficulty was experienced in getting the
natives to go any distance from their vii
lagos, as they are so often at war with one
another. Plenty of proofs of cannibalism
were found. One Of the party, on going
into one house to light his pipe, saw a wo.
man roasting the thigh and leg of man
who WAS killed the day before" The ex-
pl"ring patty were interested in the curl
Gus legend of the tribe of tailed men,"
which is met with in many civilized coun-
tries, but they did not succeed in getting
any further than second hand testimony.
"The natives" it is said, " of Blanche Bay,
New Britain, affirm positively the exist
ence of race of men with tails, at place
called Kali, and deny Indignantly that
they are monkeys, asking if monkeys could
fight with spears, plant yalns, make houses,
&C." But it is significantly added that
the interesting race dwell in the interior
of the country, "wbere no white person
has ever penetrated" Mr.. Cuckerell, a
naturalist, was detained for some time as
hostage in New Britain and was engaged
in collecting" upon New ireland for
five months. He found the natives very
friendly" but does not otherwise give them
good character. They are all dreadful
cannibals, and there is strange custom in
New Ireland, which requires that chiefs
daughter shall be kept in cage within
her fathers house until she is of marriage
able age. The cage scarcely gives her
room to move and she cannot leave it dur
ing any part of the day, though she is al
lowed to take stroll with near relatives
after nightmll. When chief dies. his
body is wrapped up and placed in tree;
and the poor people are put in canoes in
the sea to float away. The natives have
large plantations, and work about two
days in the week. They live chiefly on
bananas, cocosnuls and pork. but they also
indulge in human flesh"

Mastering Vicious Horses.

Yesterday afternoon an exhibition was
given ut the corner of Ninth and Howard
Streets, of II new and very simple method
of tanning vicious horses, which Is claimed
to lie superior to any in use. The first
trial was with kicking or bucking mare
which, her owner says, has above no ri.
der ON her back for five years. She
became tame and gentle in as many min
utes, and allowed herself to be ridden
about without u sign OF her former wild.
ness The means by which this result was
accomplished consists of piece of light
rope, Which Is passed around the front jaw
OF the mare, jusL above the upper teeth,
crossed III her mouth, and then secured
back of her neck. 1t is claimed that no
horse will kick or jump when thus secur.
ed, and that u bucklng horse after receiv.
ing this treatment II few times will uban-
don his vicious ways forever. A very sim.
pie method was also shown by which q
Kicking horse can be shod. 1t CONSISTS in
connecting the animals head aud tail by
means OF u rope fastened to the tail and
then to the bit, and drawn tightly enough
to incline the horses head to one side. It
Is claimed that 1t is absolutely impossible
for the horse to kick on the side OF the
rope. At the trial yesterday horse
which for years had TO Dg bound % the
ground to be sbod, suffered the black,
smith 10 operate upon him without at.
