Railroad DOinrs.

The reports of the gross earnings OF
twenty-tbree railroads from January j TO
June 80, 1877, show a loss compared
with the same period of 1876 Of 1924,
366, or about per cent. But an analy-
sis of the reports shows that fourteen
roads. earning $2S, ,337, 800 in 1876, have
lost S2,806,099, or about 10 per cent,
while nine roads which in 1876 earned
81. .633, 400, have gained 1851 ,233. OF
thirteen roads whose earnings are only
reported up to May 81, nine have lost
81 500, 1862 and four have gained Sl1l,
325. It is a noticeable fact that the
roads reporting again are principally
those in the southwest; the prominent
execution the Canada Southern. Those
showing a loss include Lake Shore, Penn
svlvania, Philadelphia and Erie, Chicago
and Alton and Chicago Milwaukee and
st Paul. If to this list could be added
the reports of such railroads as the Cen
trail and Hudson, Michigan Central,
Northwestern, Rock Island etc, it can
not be doubted that the losses would
swell to more than double the sum re.
ported. On this subject the New York
| Tribune says with the information
before us, Notwithstanding semi. officia
denials, we are constrained to believe
that never in the history of railroads II
this country has there been less conn
dence existing between the management;
than to-day. elimination and recrlm

New York World: Those who 60 to
Harry HilIs-perhaps not many who
read this paper-will nave noticed fa-
vOrite performer there who sang songs in
high falsettO voice, and who accompanied
herself on the drum. She was sure OF
the recall, and, most times, two or three.
Her song-and-drum solo of Saturday
NIGHT was not less well received than
usIal. but she did not respond to the
claiming of hands and the stamping of
feet that gathered in force as she still
failed to appear; and it was only by
ruse that the manager was enabled at
last to divert his motley audiences atten-
ton from their insistent demand. But,
whether or not, the manager had sue
ceeded, this little actress could not, for
the life of her, have faced the crowd that
night Mile. Claire, 70 her name was
on the bills, though that ls not what she
is called at her now cherries home, is
married to a shiftless person, and sup
ports husband and child on the pittance
that she got for her stage-work. This
evening she left the little girl, barely ten
months old, in her garret-room, sick and
feyerish. 1t needed above all things,
a mothers care but variety performers,
no less than seamstresses and shop girls,
indulge in the finer feelings when en-
blowers need their work. So she left the
child in its fathers charge and went to
the theater. Close following her depar-
ture came relapse, convulsion, and
what little life the child had was gone
ont to its Maker. The husband sought
the show-house. How is the child p
was her first inquiry, and while his lips
declared to her that it was still sleeping
his manner belied his words. He dared
not tell all, lest her stage-work be imper-
riIed. But to the other ladies " OF the
troupe he mentioned the fact of the dead
child at home; with strict injunctions
that they were " not TO tell her a word OF
II vet.I Their faces and whispered
words famed the suspicion which WAS
growing on her mind, but just then the
staoe-n6anager shouted, Miss Claire will
| favor us with a song and drum chorus"
and the drummer-girl stepped out before
| the foot-lights with curtsy, salute,
| and a mirthless smile. She ratified off
her part, and rushed back TO the little
dressing-room Just in time TO catch
half sentence, which told the truth.
With faint cry she dropped TO the floor,
the sticks falling from herpulseless hands,
her iaunty hat and feather rolling away
beneath the heels of her hurrying sisters.
The house meanwhile clamored for an
encore. The stage-manager was beside
himself, shouted to the orchestra for a
clog-dance, and the crowd was satisfied
But behind the scenes the woman lay in
her insensibility. Then she was taken To
her dead child, the shouts and stamping
of the needless throng following her .,is as
she stumbled out the door. Harry Hill

Snirit Of the Agricultural Press.

1t is a mistaken notion that book
knowledge is opposed to the practical.
There is much practical knowledge that
cannot be obtained outside of books or
their equivalent. The captain of a ves-
sci is practical sailor; 10 is the man be-
fore the mast. But while both can reef
a sail equally well, the latter would run
the vessel to destruction, perhaps, if
placed in command. There is a science
in navigation that cannot be learned by
simply performing the duties of COM
mon sailor. 1t muEt be obtained from
books, and the men who safely conduct
the thousands of vessels from one port
to another, across the boundless ocean,
demonstrate how eminently practical
this book knowledge is. 1t is just so in
farming. Holding the plow, driving the
machine, pitching hay, sowing grain and
making cider, is all practical work, that
must be learned just as a sailor must
serve his time before the mast ere he can
aspire to the command OF the vessel.
And before the farmer can take the
higher position of commander, he must
learn something of the science of agri-
culture, and this can no more be learned
by holding the plow than the science of
navigation can be by reefng Sails Ohio

Our Railroad system.

The railway system of the United
States was one of the objects of which
the engineers of Russia, Germany, Aus
tria, Australia, and many other govern
ments made particular study last year,
during the exhibition. 1t appears from
a report made by Mr.. Morris, the COM
missioner from New South Wales, that
the engineers generally concurred in an
unqualified admiration of American
railways and railway materials, the
superiority of which, in many respects,
they admitted. Instituting a comparison
with England, Mr.. Morris explains in
part, why this country is so far ahead as
to railways, by saying Some improve
ment is being made every day in Amer
lea and when it Is remembered that
there are in the States and Canada more
than eighty thousand miles OF railroad,
it is not surprising that the engineers,
many of whom are English, on SO many
miles, should be in some things in ad-
vance of theirEnglish brethren, who have
only seventeen thousand miles of railroad
to design for" Mr.. Morris recommends
the general use of our engines, our
switches, etc, in Australia, and remarks
az would say, once for all, in recon-
mending trials of American railway
plant, / am actuated solely by desire
to save the colony money, and to provide,
at the same time, superior material To
that hitherto imported.

what a RhInoceros Looks Like.

This is what Carson Appeal says OF
Montgomery Queens rhinocelos: We
have all along been assuring our readers
that the two-herned rhinOceros was a
fact. And it is a fact. He is very
perfect specimen; very singular and
interesting creature. His head is shaped
ike a mansard roof covered with asphalt
tum. His front tooth seems to have
grown up through his nose, and his WIS
dom-tOoth has come out through his eye
bTow. His eve is located in his upper lip.
He seems 10 be a cross between deformed

cestors were with Noah in the ark, that
early navigator must have consigned
him to the steerage, or else it was just an
emigrant ship where they made no pre-
tense of tone, styls or anything first class
in the passenger carrying way.

errestrial oceans. They would be able
even, by noting the velocity and varia-
tions of velocity of the great wave, to
determine the depth of the Pacific ocean,
and the manner according to which tine
! depth varies in the neighborhood of diff
| ferent island groups. 1t is not altogether
impossible, indeed, that what we have
here described may actually have oc-
! cured though on neither of the oc-
casions when the Pacific has of late been
swept by a sea-wave was Venus verv
suitably placed for observing our planet
Apart from thoughts such as these,
there is much in a phenomenon like
this great sea-wave well worth con
sidering. When we recognize in the sub
terranean forces of our earth an energy
competent to disturb the entire surface
ofthe Pacific, we perceive how vain are
the fears of those who imagine that the
earth's Vulcanian energies are nearly ex-
hausted. There is nothing to show
that at any time of which geology affords
evidence throes more mighty than these
which have shaken Peru and Chill within
the last half century have disturbed any
portion of the earth's frame. In former
times indeed, when geologists were ac-
customed to regard the processes of an
entire era as completed in single throe,
men might as well believe that the earth
had sunk into relative quiescence. But
now that close study has enabled them
TO separate tie effects of one process from
those of another, to 0recogniZe-nOt in full,
perhaps, but in great degree-the influ-
ence of time as an important factor in
geological development, they are able to
make a juster comparison between past
and present disturbances. The result is
that, although we cannot doubt that the
earth is parting with the heat which is
the source of its Vulcanian energies, we
find every reason to believe that the loss
of energy is taking place so slowly that
the diminution during many generations
is altogether imperceptible. As modern
writer has remarked, when we see that
while mountain ranges were being up
heaved or valleys depressed to their pres
ent position, race after race and type
after type lived out on the earth the long
lives which belong to races and to types,
we recognize the great work which the
earth's subterranean forces are still en-
gagged upon. Even now continents are
being slowly depressed or upheaved, and
now mountain ranges are being raised to
a different level. table-lands are being
formed, great valleys are being
gradually scooped out, old shore-lines
shift their place, old soundings varv, the
sea advances in one place and retires in
another; on every side natures plastic
hand is still at work, modelling and re-
the earth and making it con-
stantly fit abode for those who dwell |
upOn it.
