Mr.. L. Severy could not start for Eu-

to deposit $4,000 forfeit with the
Greenwood county commissioners for
the construction and operation of the
Narrow Guage road from Emporia to

to Mr.. Severy being a member of the
new construction company. He in
forms US he is not a member of that
company, but is acting as the direct rep

Mr.. Severy is a gentleman whose state

one of the directors of the A. T. & s. F.
he undoubtedly knows what that COM

is enough to make US feel assured that
the new road will be built to Eureka
by the time stated, and we have no doubt
that such will be the case.

The Foot and The Pound.

The foot and the pound are found in
every country. and have evidently been
derived directly from the Romans. But
they can claim far higher antiquity,
for Mr.. Chisholm traces their origin to
the Babylonians or Chaldans, who, as
units of length, used both the cubit
end the foot. These were subsequently
adopted by the Egyptians, who used
considerable variety, so that there is no
little confusion between the different
kinds of cubit and foot. The natural
cubit of about 18 inches, and the foot,
which was two.thirds OF this length,
were transferred TO Greece, and, the Gu
bit having fallen into disuse, the foot
became the ordinary standard OF the
Romans AT the same time the double
cubit, which was equivalent to three
feet, would appear to have survived in
form OF the ell OF midiavsl Europe,
and in that of our own yard. AS all
these measures were originally derived
from the proportions of the human
body, some caution is necessary in re.
ferring to their origin to remote antiq-
uity rather than directly to the length
of the forearm or of the foot. II must
be admitted, however, that the coinci-
denee of length among all civilized ma
tions is very striking. The derivation
of the pound weight is more compli-
Gated. The earlier Tower pound ap'
pears to have been of Roman origin,
being presumably identical with the
Greek -Asiatic nina, while the hundred
weight correspon1ed to the talent or
weight of cubic foot of water. Sub
sequently the Troy pound was substi-
tuted, and, for commercial transactions,
the pound avoirdupois, from the old
French pound Of 16 ounces. 1t is evil
dent, however, that our weights and
measures in the dark ages, were in an
unsettled state, and subject to arbitrary
alterations at the will of the monarch,

A Long Tramp.

The longest overland tramp recently
recorded is that OF Emil Zack, who ar
rived at Castle Garden on yesterday,
having walked all the way from Brown
wood, Tex. He became disguised with
agricultural pursuits, abandoned his
claim, and, with few dollars, started
on his long journey. ~ slept wherever
I could" he says. Sometimes people
would give me bed, and sometimes
they would not. walked all the way
from Brownwood to Austin, from Aus
tin to New Orleans, and from New Or
leans to New York. People were kind
est to me where they we're met with fal
apart, in the sparsely settled parts of the
country. In Texas and Louisiana !
found bed every night, and as much as
1 wanted to eat. The further north l
came the worse was treated. Some
times / had nothing TO eat for whole
day, and had to sleep in the open air. I
started from my place in Texas in May.
1 left The farm in the hands of an agent
of the German Emigration Society, to be
sold." He said he sometimes worked
for few days in order to get little
money, and, having obtained it, he
would again start on his journey. His
walk was over 1000 miles long-Neu

Fashion Notes.

Newest furs for the neck are Carrick
capes, instead OF boas.
Good news for brunettes: Spanish
styles are coming in this spring.
Most brides now wear white bonnets,
but colored ones will answer il desir-
ed.
White English Grape is q favorite
material for dressing bridal dresses.
Persian embroidery, in strips, is used
on some Of the handsomest toilets.
Pretty new handkerchiefs are Of sheer
lawn, with ruffle embroidered in pale
pink or blue silk.
New artificial roses are closed as buds,
and by spring open as full blown
roses while being worn.
Wedding dresses are mostly in the
princesse style, made plain, with very
little trimming
Short dresses are slowly, but surely
gaining ground. The kilt pleated skirt
is the favorite.
The favorite skating petticoat is of
quilted red satin, sometimes founced
and again trimmed with frills OF tor
chon lace.
A band of black velvet an inch wide,
with pendant ornament is one Of the
favorite necklaces worn by young ladies
for evening.

Cascade bows of narrow satin rib
bon of three colors, such as pale blue,
and moss-green with rose, are worn of
the throat.
Lace sleeves have become 80 popular
that lace has been manufactured e1-
pressly for the purpose. 1t resembles
the Mechlin lace, and is dotted with
pearl, or clair de lune beads.
A princesse polonaise is the best de.
sign for black velvet over.dress. II
would also be very handsome with O
basque and long princesse train of the
velvet, and silk apron gathered in the
front breadths Of the skirt.
Use tapping folds or else merely pip

DIsAPPRARANcRo OF AN ISLAND. - Capt.
J. o. Lunginers, of the Danish vessel
Lutterfeld, communicates to Copen.
hagen paper an interesting account of q
novel experience which occurred op
December 10, 1876, while on voyage to
Valparaiso. The vessel was at this time
in the neighborhood ofTerra del Fuego,
about l40 miles from Magellan Stats,
when early in the morning it narrowly
escaped collision with an island where
no trace OF land appeared on the charts,
The vessel hove to until daylight, when
the captain proceeded with boats crew
to the new island, which had gradually
diminished in size since the first observa-
ton. Around the conical rocky mass
the water was kissing, and although no
smoke appeared, it was found to be toe
highly heated to permit of landing. The
sinking continued slowly, until at s
O'Clock the island was completely sub
merged, and an hour later the vessel
passed over the spot where it had disap-
peared. This volcanic island is probably
due to the same causes which have pro.
duced the recent severe earthquake on
the west coast of South America.
