ENGLISH NEarNEss II We were to be
asked, says Il writer in Appleton Journ-
al, to say III one word the quality tha:
more than anything else marks English
towns and public places as compared with
our own We should say neatness. English
streets are well paved and clean ; English
roads are well kept English railway
stations are in perfect order; English
fields are trim and neat; English gardens,
hedges, fences, lawns, all exhibit CARE and
oversight English smokeand fog blacken
and stain all the buildings, but English
care more than compensates for this un-
avoidabie evil. We are not SO particular
here. We have a clear atmosphere and
brilliant skies, but We are all, SO tar as
public places are concerned, sons and
daughters of Shabbyville. This is more
strange, because in our households no
such reproach is true There are no neater
or better kept homes anywhere than
American homes, nor are any people
cleanher or neater III their habits 1t Is
wholly In public matters that this shibl-
ness we complain of exists and this
arises, of course, first, from the neglect
of the official persons We endow with
handsome salaries, for leaving undone the
things they should do and next, from a
strange Indifference on every-bodys part
! to everything Of apublic nature, to every
thing that is not within his own private

THE WORLD ACCORDING To THE GREEl

IHE W OHLD ACCORDING TO THE GkEEKS.
At the Homeric epoch the Greeks gen
orally considered that the earth existed In
the form of Il disc This disc was sup
posed to be centrally divided by the Eux-
Inc or Black Sea, the Egean Sea, and the
Mediterranean Sea into two parts, the one
North and the other South these parts
were at latter period designated 10y
Anaximander under the names of Europe
and Asia, names which had been previous
" understood in a more restricted sense.
The river Phasis iii Colchis, or Pontus on
the East, and the Pillars of Hercules, or
Strait of Gibraltar, on the West, were
supposed to mark the limits of the world.
The country Of the Crimmerians, who
were afterwards confounded with the
Cimbri and Of the Macrobians, so called
because they were supposed to be longer
lived than other mortals; Elyslum, a
happy country which had no existence but
in the fantasies of the mind the For
tunate Isles, which under the names oi
Atlantis and Meropis, were the object oi
the philosophic fictions of Plato and Theo-
pompos the country of the Arimaspi,
who saw so clearly because they had but
one eye; the country of the Gryphons,
who guarded the precious metals of the
Riphean mountains; Colchis, the country
Of magic, peopled with monsters and
prodigies fables, all these and many Other
ingenious fables, the offspring OF the i'm.
aginations of the poets Homer and Hesiod
or rather of the people among whom they
lived, were mixed up with notions purely
geographical, and constituted the world a
that period scene of marvels, a recep
tacle of agreeable delusions on the ont
hand and formidable mysteries on the

Seattle Railroad.

The directors Of the Seattle railroad havs
decided not TO receive county aid, as provid-
Ell by act of the last legislature. The fol-
lowing is an official report OF the action OF
the president and directors.
Resotrsd, That the company make public
the following statement III regard to county
a,d, and that copy of the same be gwen 70
the various newspapers for publication and
that copy be sent to tie Auditor of each
county named in the county aid bill
STATEMENT:
As there seems to be q general feeling Of
dcuh. amongst the friends of the Seattle
and Walla Walla Railroad, respecting tho
proposition 10 vote county aid to said road.
and rs answer to the many letters Of inqui-
ry as to the wishes and intentions Cf the
company, | will state, in behalf Uf the com.
pany, that the action Of the late legislature
was without our suggestion, and We did not
even have an int,nlatlon that such action
was contemplated by any one. As a conse-
quence Of this want OF proper consideration
We are constrained to say that however well
intended. the aid proposed would be useless
Ii voted by the people. We do not think it
wise or safe for any municipality, in order to
give All 10 4 company, to become SIMPLE
stockholders; and IN 4 case of this kind it
should be BY interest bearing bonds, secured
by mortgage on the road. This act, how
ever, makes 1t necessary to amend the or
gilIzation oi the company so that the c0un-
ties can become stockholders, and also pro-
vides for their participation in the manage
ment of the company. 1t also requires the
ald gwen by certain counties on the eastern
end Of the road to be expended in building
sdid end, which might prove serious draw
back, and doubtless would unless We have
funds ample to complete the whole line at
one and the same time In order to make
the proposed AID available it would also be
Necessary 10 have congressional action, for
are SO distruStful OF timid we do
not think money could be obtained on tho
bonds Of any county without the sanction or
ratification ot congress, even though the
people had voted for it. We are engaged In
Il work Of the highest Importance to this
territory, both east and west, and IN our
anxiety to accomplish 1t, We certainly would
not knowingly reject any a:d OF plan which
looked reasonably practicable to raise the
funds, but We cannot regard the
one proposed as i'll any important sense avail
able for tha: purpose We have twenty
miles Of the road running and intend to use
every exertion to complete the road thus be-
gun. Bat in view of the defects indicated
III the ac. of the legislature. and even in the
loss OF time which would result from an at
tempt 10 make it available, We cannot ask
our friends 10 vote for the proposition.

Tue HUMAN BaAw.-Mrs. Fenwick
Miller. a member Of the London school
board. in recent lecture at the Alex
andra Palace, on Thinking and Feel
mo, remarked tnat the average weight
Of the brain III ulan was forty-eight ounces
while the brain of AbercrOmble and
Cuvier reached sixty-three ounces, ard
many other eminent men furnished similar
examples. The brain OF woman aver
aaed absolutely three ounces less than
that of man but according to the high
authority of Tiedmann, w9mai. 5 BRAN IS

body (and this was the proper method o'
comparison), heavier than that OF man
The number and depth OF the conrolu
lions had, however, very much influence
upon intellectual power Treating OF the
nervous system, Airs. Miller observed
that intellectual work was much more
healthy than most kinds of manual labor
nroyided it was not carried on without
proper intervals OF rest. She insisted up
on the necessity OF a full amount of sleep
stating that the idea of g saving time by
taking an extremely short allowance o.
sleep was dangerous physiological de

How VIRGINIA CITY Is SLIDING Down.

How VIRGINIA CITY Is SLIDING DOWN
The Enterprise says: Our town Is very
quietly and very slowly moving to the
c.r,i nord daun tho fars. nf the mountain.
This is owing to the setting OF the grounc
over the Bonanza mines As all the town
is gong together it Is not mrch noticed
on the surface, where no craks are seen.
The water and gas companies are better
acquainted with the movements taking
place in the ground forming the site of the
town than most others, as the instability
# the earth tells upon their pipes. On
B ani C streets, north of Union, the
ground is moving both north and east.
A wafer main, running north and south,
uncovered yesterday at the corner OF b
street and Sutton avenue. Was found to
lie telescoped to the distance of over a
foot, and besides had in it great kink,
which made it necessary to take out
piece nearly two feet in length. About
the Consolidated Virginia pan mill the
pipes are crowding in from beth east and
west at least, owing to the setting OF
the ground III that neighborhood, there
appears 70 be two movements. Although
there are as yet no cracks in TIE central
part of the town, there is 4 large one to
ti,e westward. II begins at Cedar Ravine,
runs south to near the large water tank
Of the Ophir, on the hill west OF town,
then turns east for considerable distance,
when it takes It's course southwark, west
# Stewart street, and finally joins the old
erevice below the Gould & Curry crop
pings. Toward the north this crevice ls
about EIGHT inches in width, and the soil
ON the east side Of it is about three feet
lower than on the west side. Captain
Overton, of the water company, whose
opportunities for observing these move
meats are unsurpassed, says that as the
Ground settles over the bonanzas on the
slope of the mountain, where 1t IS not
much disturbed, it gradually moves down.
He saws the International hotel has moved
east about five inches since it was built.
If such is the case, all the buildings In
that part of the town, with the ground on
which they stand, must have n,eved the
same distance. as no cracks are to be seen
in the earth. As We are now travelling,
however, it will be long time before We
reach the Sngar Loaf.

SMALL MEANs.-We think that the
power of money is on, the whole, over
estimated. The greatest things which
were done for the world have no5 been &C
complished by rich men, or by subscFip-
ton lists, but by men generally OF small
pecuniary means The greatest thinkers
discoverer, inventors, and artists have
been men of moderate wealth, many OF
them little raised above the condition OF
manual laborers in point of worldly CIR
cumstances And it will always be so.
Riches are oftener an impediment than a
stimulus of action and in many cases
they are quite as much a misfortune as a
blessing. The youth who inherits wealth
is apt to have life made too easy for him,
and SO grows sated with it because he has
nothing left to desire. Having no special
object to struggle for, he finds time toe
heavy on his hands remains mentally
and morally asleep and his position II
society is often no higher than that OF d
polypus over which the tide floats.

ORIGIN OF THE DIFFERENT BREEDS
1t is an interesting study to consider the
various breeds Of fowls and note their
origin. Their names airse from some
other peculiarity in their form and ap-
nendace- For instance the DorkIngs are
named after Dorking in England the
Black Spanish, or as they are otherwise
known. everlasting layers, after SPAN !;
the Polands came from Poland tho
Houdans, pronounced Houdon), from
Houdain. France the Shanghai are nam
ed after Shanghai in China; the Bun an
Partridge Cochin Chinas also take their
name from Cochin China /; the Siberia or
Russian fowls, from Russia the Maiays,
lava. Colbmbians, Barbarys, Dutch fowls
all from their respective countries ihe.e
are also the Guilders from Guiideriand'
Holland the Bolton grays and bays Irom
BOLTON. England, and the Shakebag,
named from the fact that they were car
red 10 cockpits in bags which the owner
shock as challenge for some other oird-
There are many others, such as the Creve
Cnaurs from France, silky fowls from
China and Japan, Hamburgs. Leshorns,
snJ Rrabma Pootras, all of which indicate
whence they are named Then there arc
creeners a small variety of the BAntams,
with short legs; the Jumpers mennoned
bv Button, another of the dim,nutlve
rsces are so short-legged that they arc
compeIIed to advance by Jumping msfeea
of stsnping. Pumpkins, OF tailsss fowls
came from the Wild breed ct Ceyion.

Regulate your hours OF rising and re-
firing to the customs of the house. Do
not keep your friends sitting up until later

Wy Darling.

In dream | saw my darling,
A woman ali woe besone,
She, that was once so blooming,
Faded and shrunken and wan,
One child in her arms she carried,
And one by the hand she leads;
Want and sore trouble are seen in
Her looks and her gait and weeds.
Through the market square she tottered,
And there she crosses my way,
And she looks 4. Inc, and calmly
And sadly To her l say:
Come to nay home, come with me,
Thou art pale and weak and i'll /;

The children with thee there;

And when thy sOrrows are en,led.
Ill lie on thy grave and weep"

Love, forget me when I'm gone.
When the tree is overthrown
Let the place be digged and sown
Ger with grass when that is grown,
The very place shall be unknown.

Love, forget me, when I'm gone,
Love Of him that lies in clay
Only maketh life forlorn,

With regrets of yestermorn-
And what is loye to him that's low,
Or sunshine on his grave that floats :,
Love no: sunshine rcacheth now
Deeper than the daisy roots.

Comes to claim his little due,

Proudly give the churi his own,
And forget me when I'm gone,'
