A New Route to Europe.

At the last meeting OF the Maine Cen
tral Railroad directors Il proposition was
received from the European and North
American Railroad Co. for a change of
gauge, from broad to marrow, 50 that its
tracks may correspond to the American
system. 1t is understood that private
parties will furnish the sum of $50, 900 for
this purpose, and if the connecting roads,
the Maine Central, Eastern and Boston
and Maine, will provide some further
assistance, the American directors will
change the track to the narrow gauge be-
tween Bangor and Nanceboro, and the
English directors that portion between
Nanceboro and st. John. The Maine Cen
trail directors accepted this proposition,
and the Eastern and Boston and Maine
roads will without doubt do their part.
The change Of gauge will be accomplish
ed by the first of August surely, perhaps
much sooner. The whole work, as in the
case OF the Grand Trunk, will be accom-
plished in q single day.
When this is done there will be con-
tinuous rail from New York to Halifax,
without change of cars, us the Intercolo-
NAL road was changed some time ago to
the narrow gauge. Passengers will leave
New York at ii A. NJ, arriving in Boston
the same day, in time to take the p. NJ.
Pullman, arriving at st. John the next
evening, and at Halifax one day and
nineteen hours from New York.
1t is reported that this is but the fore
rnnner of a still more important move

ment. 1t will be remembered that a
scheme was started a year ago for a line
of steamers between Whitehaven, near
Cape Canseau, and port on the western
coast of Ireland, that would make the
trip between the two countries in five
days Since that time a company has
been formed and a line of road surveyed
from point on the Intercolonial road to
Whitehaven, which is about $50 miles
nearer Ireland than Halifax. BY this
route passengers will pass from New York
on their way to Europe without change
of cars over the above named roads until
they reached Monckton on the Intercolo-
NAL, when their car, instead Of proceed
ing to Halifax, will be switched on the
branch road to Whitehavcn, where they
will take the steamer.

The Extra Session.

WAsHINGToN, May 6. Although Sat
urday has been set aside by the President
as day in which visitors would not be
at the Executive Mansion. There was no
regular session Of the Cabinet, but Secre-
tarles Evarts, McCrary and Thompson,
Attorney General Devens and Postmas-
ter-General Key each had long inter
views with the Executive. The subject
under consideration was the extra SEES
sion Of Congress, which had been re
opened since the adjournment OF the
Cabinet yesterday. Mr.. McCrarv has
been opposed to postponement OF the
date of the session, and went to the
President with some fresh considerations
for his attention. Among other things
he suggested that the part OF the sol

discharge could not be paid without pro

lasted two hours. The President and

Professor Farlow recommends tho com.
plete destruction of choke cherry, bird
cherry, and wild plum trees, since they
furnish means for the rapid propagation
of the knot, and are themselves of little
value in comparison with the cultivated
cherries and plums.
Concert of action is what is needed
in this matter, and not only by attending
to ones cultivated trees, but to the wild
plums and cherries that frequent our
lence-rows and wood. lands as well as in
very many instances the latter prove to
be the pest houses where the contagion Is
propagated and sent forth to carry desc
lation over many a thriving tree, dear to
the eve of its owner" The wild plums
are the most abundant in the Western
States, and the wild and choke cherries
in the Eastern. These in their habitats
therefore, require special attention. This
is matter of vast Importance to fruit

sures, against this destructive fungus.

Many ladies very DESTROYS of succeed
ing with the Camellia may be benefited
with the following simple rules cut from
the Florists Friend -
The genaral complaint is that flowers
drop off before coming to perfection.
Camellias at this time have finished
growing, and their buds are well set.
Place them-and this might better have
been done in June-in a shaded position
out Of doors, and, if any require potting
or surfacing, it must be attended to at
once, using the most careful attention not
to disturb the tender roots, which are DEL
icate beyond description. Then give
abundance Of water, and keep the foliage
perfectly clean by daily spongiDg, to re-
move dust and dirt, aud prevent the raw
ages or approaches of the red spider,
which is stubborn adversary if allowed
to gain vantage ground at this season
If the soil and drainage are good Cam
elias do not require reporting but very
seldom indeed, if only disturbed once
in several years, they will thrive all the
better, and re-soiling, by removing the
top soil and supplying fresh earth, then
watering judiciously. will be found to be
a much better plan than to be constant
ly changing the pots.
Keep the plants cool and attend to
watering and drainage. and when ready
to remove to Winter quarters You will
have an abundant supply Of buds and
blossoms.

OATMEAL PoRRIDGE.-0atmcal por-
ridge is especially suitable for children
IL nourishes their bones and other tissues,
and supplies them in a greater degree
than most foods with the much-needed
element of phosphorus. If they grow
weary Of it, they can be tempted back
with the bait of golden syrup, jam, or
marmalade, to be eaten with the porridge.
The Irish and otch make their por-
ridge with water, and add cold milk, but
the most agreeable and nutritive way is
to make it entirely with milk, to use
coarse oatmeal, and to see that it is not
too thick. The following is good re-
ceipt Bring quart OF milk to boiling
point in an enamel-lined saucepan, and
drop in by degrees eight ounces Of coarse
oatmeal stir till 1t thickens, and then
boil for half an hour. The mixture should
not be too thick, and more milk can be
added according TO taste.
