Our RaiIroad 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 adj
vance of their English 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
d" 1 would say, once for all, in recon-
meDding trials of American railway
plant, I am actuated solely by a desire
to save the colony money, and to provide,
at the same time, superior material TO
that hitherto imported.

A man who does not possess partic-
ular talent, satisfies himself by despising
it; he removes this obstacle which stands
between himself and merit, and by this
means he finds himself on a level with
him whose IabOrs he is afraid of.
To be in company with those we love,
satisfies us; it does not signify whether
wespeak to them or not, whether we think
on them or Indifferent things, to be near
them is all.
The best society and conversation in
the world is that in which the heart has
a greater share than the head.
Women exceed the generality of men
in love, but men have the advantage of
friendship.
A man is more faithful and true to
another persons secrets than to his own
a woman, on the contrary, keeps her own
secret better than anOther's-
Fly him who, from mere curiosity,
asks three questions about thing which
cannot interest him.
Love is far from being gay passion.
True love is almost always chagrined,
melancholy and ill-hUmOred.
Absence destroys small passions, and
increases great ones as the wind extin-
guishes tapers and kindles fires.

An Extraordinary Heiress.

The daguhter of a country practitioner,
in little village in Scotland, awoke one
morning to find herself a great heiTess.
Her uncle had died, leaving an estate
and 81 SOC. 600 to her. Miss Macpherson
Grant was bright, clever, and handsome,
and about q years Of age. She took
possession of her property and lived in
great style, keeping large stud of horses,
and driving tandem herself ali over the
country. Some fifteen years agoa young
Iady paid her q visit. II ended in this
Young lady, Miss Temple, leaving father
and mother, and living with Miss Grant
for better or worse, until death should
party them in fact, they formed such A
friendship that they entered into an en-
gagement that neither should marry, and
that they should pass their lives to-
pether. Miss Grant then and there re-
fused a very good offer Of marriage, and
rejected all other suitors. The condl-
tions were that Miss Grant was to leave
her estates and everything to Miss lem
pie, if Miss Temple, on her part, never
left her and never married. A will was
made by Miss Grant under which her
property was TO pass to the Temples.
Two wears ago Miss Temple married, and
last Christmas Miss Grant died. The
will was revoked. She never toTgaye the
detection; she never made another will,
and the estate goes 70 an obscure
country doctor in Aberdeenshire, who
hardly knew he was related to Miss
Grant, and never saw her. Other rsia'
tions. poor tradespeople, come IN Ioi 4
share. Over this question OF Sucession 'I.-.C.I
there will be a terrible fight IN the GU u, =

The Crater of Yesuyius.

Professor Boyd Dawkins in giving an
account to the Manchester geological
society of his visit to the crater of
Vesuvius said "a coating of yellow
sulphur about three inches thick covered
the lip, and beneath this tie loose
gray ashes gave out aqueous vaPor at
every pore, which deposited Oh them in
some places white powdery sulPhate OF
lime, in others common salt, sal
ammoniac, green chloride of copper, and
specuiar iron ore, which looked like
little pieces of shattered mirrors scat
cred through their substance. 1t was
obvious that here we had a striking
proof of the mode in which water, in
passing through heated rock, can carry
minerals in solutions and ultimately
deposit them. In these deposits we could
easily recognize the mode in which the
various metals were brought up from
deep down in the earth's crust, and
deposited in holes aud crannies in the
rocks which are accessible te man a
mineral veins" In this description We
seem to have an approach towards an
answer TO the oft-Tepeated question
Where do metals oORle from?

Spirit 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 yes
sci is practical sailor; no 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 he learned by
simply performing the duties of a com
mon sailor. 1t muss be obtained from
books, and the men who safely conduct
the thousands of vessels from one mort
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 a 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

Railroad Doings.

The reports of the gross earnings OF
twenty-three railroads from January l to
June 80, 1877, show a loss compared
with the same period of 1876 of g, 224,
366, or about per cent. But an analy-
sis of the reports shows that fourteen
roads, earning S2S, ,337, 900 in 1876, have
lost 9, ,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, ,803, ,462 and four have gained Sl7l,
325. 1t 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
syIvania 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 official
denials, we are constrained to believe
that never in the history Of railroads IN
this country has there been less cOnt-
dence existing between the managements
than to-day. elimination and recTlm-
ination are frequent. Charges OF bad
faith are banded about. Yet the condi-
ton of all the companies is so desperate
that strenuous efforts are making and
will be made to keep the true state of
affairs from the public"

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-heTned rhinoceros was a
fact. And it is a fact. He Is a very
perfect specimen; a very singular and
interesting creature. His head is shaped
like a mansard roof covered with asphal-
tum. His front tooth seems TO have
grown up through his nose, and his Wis
dom-toOth has come out through his eye
brow. His eye is located in his upper lip.
He seems TO be a cross between a deformed
elephant aud the debris of an old India
rubber overshoe mandatory. If his an
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, style or anything frstclass

Snake and Insect Rites.

If stung or bitten by an insect, snake
or animal, apply spirits of hartsbOrn very
freely with a soft rag, because it is one OF
the strongest alkaiis, and Is familiar to
most persons. The substance which
causes the so-called poison from bites or
stings is, as far as is ascertained, gene
rally acid. Hence the hartshOrn antag-
onizes it III proportion to the promptitude
with which it is applied. If no hartshoTn
is at hand, pour cup Of hot water on a
cup of cooking soda or saleratus, or even
the ashes of wood just from the stove OF
fireplace, because all these are strong al
kalis, and hartshorn is only best because
{ is the strongest.
