WATCHING RIFLE BALLS FLIGHT.-
The Rochester Herald says: Three gen.
tlemeD, members of the Amateur Rifle
Club, yesterday afternoon were in the
town of Brighton, arget-shooting. The
distance was 200 yards; all three were
shooting Creedmoor rifles. From the
firing point to the target the ground
gradually assembled, so that small tele-
scope, but a good one, firmly fixed in
true bounds on tree, at distance of
perhaps thirty feet, made a fine point for
observation. One of the shooters, while
looking through glass to mark shot
of one of his companions, exclaimed that
be saw the ball as it sped on its mission.
The announcement was received with in
credulity; but one of the other shooters
went to the glass, and he also saw the
ball almost as it left the gun, and through
its whole flight, nearly the whole line of
its trajectory, until it struck the target
So interesting and beautiful was the sight
that every shot was watched by one sor
the other of the gentlemen; and it isyn
actual fac, ina; the point at which the
ball would strike the target coulG be seen
before the ball struck. 1t was even in
sisted upon that the rotary motion OF the
ball could be observed.

Heartrending Scenes q sauaIor.

According To- a New York paper,
there are instances Of suffering OF an
actually horrible character that have
come within the knowledge OF almost
all the fifty physicians employed as 4
special sanitary corps under the local
board Of health. On the very first day
Of his round one Of these physicians dis
covered the dead body Of woman in 8
close room on the fourth floor Of q Null
berry street tenement. She had died
without medical attendance, and, being
friendless and unattended, without be-
ing reported TO the authorities, the
body had lain there during four terribly
hot days before it was removed. Death
alone and unattended has horrors PEI
culiar to itself, but could scarcely be
greater or more real than the disease
spread among a hundred families by
the continued and communicating pres
ence of the dead body.
The same physician on the following
day found the dead body of babe in a
yard on Water street. A health officer
finding sewer gas present for which he
was unable to account, kicked a board
out of a cellar partition and was over
powered by the rush of the gas, which
had long been confined and filled the
cellar, escaping through the crevices to
such an extent as to poison the whole
neighborhood. Isolated instances OF
this sort, which rarely attract public
attention, go far to show the extent and
character of the suffering which is un.
dergone even by those who can hardly
be classed as the very poor. The hard
ship is often greater to the working,
self-supporting man and his family than
it ever is to the criminal poor.

A Railroad Round the World.

The following outline of a colossal
railroad scheme is advanced by Missis-
sippi correspondent of the Louisville
Courier Journal.
"There is great railroad, which, if
it can be built, will eclipse all other en-
terprises in that limo, and will be the
grandest railroad in the world, connect
ing the old and new world, and thus
avoiding all the dangers of the Atlantic
ocean. My road will connect the Ameri-
can continent with Asia and Europe.
Just think of it / A railroad from Wash
ington city to st. Petersburg, with only
forty miles of water between these great
cities of the new and old world.
g NY plan is for the United States,
Great Britain and Russia, or the capital
lists of these great countries, to construct
this road. Let the road be built to some
point on the line between Washington
Territory and the British Possessions;
say, where the Columbia river runs into
Washington Territory. Then let Eng
land, or English capitalists, build the
road through New Georgia to the point
where the Youcan river runs into Alaska;
and then through Alaska to Cape Prince
of Wales on Behring Strait; then let
Russia, or the company, composed of
the great capitalists Of the old and new
world, construct the road from East
Cape, or Behring Strait. to st. Peters
burg. Passengers and freight can be
carried from Cape Prince of Wales,
America, to East Cape, Asia, directly
opposite and only forty miles apart, in
splendid steamers, built and put there
for that purpose, and owned by this
great company. Would not this be
grand? Just imagine triplfrom America
to Asia and Europe, seated in splendid
cars, with land under You and visible all
the way, except forty miles about as
far as from Dover to Calais.
" If this great road could be built the
danger Of the stormy Atlantic would be
avoided, and hundreds and thousands of
noble men, women and children would
be almost annually saved, as well as
of treasure"

Fashion Notes.

The small round turban is again worn
by young ladies.
Slender gold finger-rings bearing tiny
coins are among the latest novelties.
The oval neck which is replacing the
pompadour. is called the Agnes Sorel.
The soft willow feathers tipped with
gold are intended only for young ladies'
hats.
Ties, with three very fiat bows on the
instep, are the prettiest shoe for street
wear.
Silver iewelry still continues in favor,
and the finest of fligree work can be
found.
Passementerie and all fiat trimmings
are much in vogue for trimming dresses
and paletots.
Plaid dresses in those Scotch patterns
combining a great deal of green and
blue, with touch of yellow or red, are
much worn; they are trimmed with gold
cord, and have vests of white or buff,
with gold buttons.
Wide leather belts are very fashion
able with all styles of dresses; these
have attached to them the small bag,
the chatelaine on which hangs the fan,
and the small portemonnaie containing
just change enough to be of service,
whether one is shopping, or at church,
or passing toll-gates. In England these
belts and their Accomplishments are
called passe-partouts.
Light colored percale dresses for
Io6 Il
cription, are made dressy by having
square-neck openings filed in with fine
embroidery or lace. A more satisfacto-
~ way is to make square collarette,
finished with rufie of lace which is ad-
Unstable, and that can be worn with any
dress. Very tiny bows of narrow ribbon
of the shade of the dresses are used to
fasten the collarette.

A Remedy for Consumptiyes.

Medical men have known for a long
time that the best remedies for consump-
ton were plenty of pure air, sunshine,
and exercise, and also food that con-
tanned much carbon. Cod-liver oil has
been favorite remedy, and has done
good in prolonging the lives of con-
sumptives, and putting off the approach
of the grim monster. The virtues of
other remedies are in proportion to the
amount of carbon they can infuse into
the system to feed the consuming flame
that wastes the body. The theory is
that the internal fever burns up the car
bon in the blood faster than the food eat
en- can replace it. The disease then
preys on the fatty substances of the
body, and destroys the lungs, and event
ually life. In short, there is not oil
enough in the lamp for the wick, and the
latter is burnt and the light goes out.
The Chicago Tribune prints an inter-
esting letter from DR.. D'Unger, of
Minneapolis, Mimi, on this subject, in
which he makes public a prescription
which he declares has produced excel
lent effects, to his personal knowledge.
This is his prescription:
One-half pound fnely-cut-up beef
steak (fresh1;
One drachm pulverized charcoal;
Four ounces pulverized sugar;
Four ounces rye whiskey;
One pint of boiling water.
Mix all together, let it stand in cool
place over night, and give from one to
two teaspoonfuls liquid and meat--be-
fore each meal.
I have used this preparation very fire.
quently, and have never found it act
otherwise than benefcially. The dose
should be small at first, until the stomach
becomes used to it, and then gradually
increased
This remedy has, at least, the merit
OF simplicity. Any ene can try it.

Eating Customs of Indians.

The Cocapah Indians, of Arizona, will
not eat pork, though they have acquired
a taste for salt beef. They are very fond
of fish and will eat them at any time.
The Mono Lake Indians of California
eat soup made of angle worms thickened
with grass seed -four. They also gather
bats from caves and roast them in hot
ashes, without removing either feathers
or entrails. Wasp nests are roasted
and eaten; the more young they contain
the better they are relished. The young
Indians, in order to find their nests,
capture wasp, place a straw in the
abdomen, light il and let the insect go;
they then watch its fight, follow it and
secure the nest. The Mama Indians
are very fond of the yellow lily (Lilium
canadense) with meat. In the fall the
roots, often two inches in diameter, are
gathered. They taste very much like
green corn. These Indians also eat otto
oil cooked in soup, and consider it very
nutritious. The Cheyennes and Aarra-
pahoes consider dog meat superb dish,
and when they wish to honor a guest
especially they kill the latest dog and
roast it; great offense is given if the
guest eat not bountifully Of the chosen
dish. They also eat poisoned wolves in
the buffalo country. The white men
kill the bufaloes for their hides, tallow,
tongue and some of the best portions Of
their meat. The tongues bring high
price. The rest of the carcass is then
poisoned with strychnine. The wolves
eat the meat. and their intestines be-
come infamed, producing death. The
Indians remove the viscera and eat the
remaining portions Of the wolf. On
Grow Greek, in Kansas, in 1865, I saw
the carcasses of hundreds of wolves that
had been eaten. The Wichita and
Oomanche Indians will not eat fish that
have scales, bnt ar. fond of those that
have no scales; they catch both kinds,
and sell those they do not like to the
whites.

Goethe Club, of New York, was the
hero of an adventure in Paris recently
that attracted much attention from those
who saw it. He had hailed cab, and
as he was about to step in he was SUR
prised to see another man entering at
the opposite side. DIR. Ruppaner de-
manded of the driver which Of the two
had hailed him first, and the driver de-
cided in favor Of the New Yorker. He
then politely requested the stranger to
descend, but the latter answered:
ST am Prince +" giving known
name. DIR. Rupanner replied:
s.You are prince, but I am sover-
eign-a citizen of the United States"
and without much more ado he gently
took the prince by the collar of his coat
and set him down quietly upon the side
walk. The prince went in search of
another carriage, and the Sovereign"
rode of in triumph.
