Southern Railway.

The Southern Railway Trustees held their
regular quarterly meeting yesterday.
A communication was received from
John Kahoe, of Mason Station, KY, asking
damage for personal injury received from
falling earth in culvert on the road,
through neglect, he claims, of Foreman
Comfy to properly brace the walls of the
tunnel. Mr.. Kahoe threatens suit unless
the damages are forthcoming.
In regard to the complaint of the Edgar
Thompson Steel Works Company, that they
were unwilling to fulfill the requirements
of the Trustees TO Huston & Co., that the
rails must not vary more than one-eighth

up in testing, the Trustees decided that
they might vary in length not to exceed
one fourth of an inch, but in all other re-
spects the contract and specifications must
be fulfilled.
The earnings of the road, deducting in

MISS ANDERSON AS "pARTHENIl

MISS ANDERSON AS "PARTHENIA."
At the Grand Opera-house last night a
very fine audience assembled to witness
Miss Mary Anderson as "Parthenia" in the
old and favorite drama, "Ingomar." Miss
Anderson has never failed to draw fine
houses in this city. On the occasion of her
first visit, when she had been heraded as
the bright particular star that had Just
fitted across the dramatic armament, every
one was curious to see the performances Of
the great genius. With one accord they
pronounced her just what she was claimed
to be-a young woman of remarkable natu-
raj ability, but entirely without experience,
and greatly wanting in knowledge of stage
business. She has been here several times
SINCE and each time she has shown a
marked improvement over the work of her
previous visit. Now she comes with the
result of nearly three years of hard
study and close application to her
profession, and adds to the rich endowment
of her genius that which time and expert
ence alone can give. Her "Parthenia" of
last night was fine production. 1t was a
carefully studied and finely rendered char
acter, and witnessing it no one can wonder
that the play was great favorite in the
days before the rage was all for something
neW.' The other characters were all quite
we'll sustained. This is especially true of
the "Polydor' of Mr.. Mcdonald. This eve
ming "Evadne," Wednesday evening Obi

PROFESSOR sToDDARD's LECTURE.
The lecture of Prof. Stoddard at Pixies
Opera-house last night was. on Gems of
German Travel" and was most enjoyable
one. The views were of the chief attrac-
tions in the German capitals of Munich,
Prague, Vienna, Nuremberg and Berlin
and they were beautifully and eloquently
described by the lecturer in manner that
gave double interest to all that was shown.
One who fails to see these delightful enter
tainments will not only miss a great deal of
information that might have been picked
up, but will lose one of the most enjoyable
series of entertainments of the whole win
ter. Tonight he presents the attractive
subject of Paris and its Environs," while
tomorrow night he WILL in compliance
with many requests, insert into the regular
programme of ''Byways in Italy" portions
of his lecture on Famous Painters and
Sculptors," which many were prevented
from hearing on account of the storm.

Silesian Merinos

The province of Silesia, in southern
Prussia, has long enjoyed well-deserv-
ed reputation for the fneness of its
woods. The Sileslan, like all its sister
types of fine-wooled sheep is an offshoot
of the Spanish stock. As early as the
date or importations into America, the
enterprising breeders ofGermany avail
ed themselves of the advantages afford
ed by the scattering of the noble fiocks
of Spain, and the varieties known as
Saxon and Silesian are ou'growths
therefrom. Silesian wool is character
lied by exceeding fneness; absence of
gum, though oily, being peculiarly
adapted to the manufacture of broad
cloths. In size and symmetry they
compare favorbly with the common type
of Merinos, while they have not yet at
tanned numbers or distribution to war
rant comparison with the latter in
those respects which commend them
to the general husbandry. Where
finer wool can be produced
from the American Merino is desired,
the Silesian will commend itself to the
inquirer. Though before the breeders
ofthe United States for many years, it
has not attained popularity beyond the
localities where first introduced.
On the subject of shelter for swine,
it is we'll to call attention to the impor-
lance of securing good ventilation in
their sleeping apartments. We have
not the slightest doubt that many of the
cases of so-called hog cholera originate
in blood poisoning, the result of crowd
ing large numbers of swine togetheri
close and badly-ventilated quarters. The
atmosphere performs the same office
for the blood of swine that it does for
human beings; and the heart and lungs,
and veins and the arteries, perform the
same office in each. Oxygen is inhaled,
and carbonic acid gas is given off; and
without sufficient means for the adj
mission of fresh air, and for the escape
of that which has been vitated by hav-
ing been once inhaled, disease is quick
ly engen1ered. Pens may easily be
SO constructed, that, while they are
warm and comfortable, and afford ample
protection from chilling winds, the ven-
tilation will also be thorough

That reserve is, or was until recently,
nearly equal to the entire note circula-
ton, and is by far the largest mass of
specie collected at any one point. 1t
might not be larger than would be nee
essary if the French people were as
suspicious of paper currency as they
used 10 be. But they have acquired
confidence in this kind of circulation
since the war with Germany, and the
consequence is that the bank does not
require E large q reserve in proportion
to circulation as it formerly did. The
bank has probably not parted with
more than $22000,000 since the move
ment toward this country began, and
that is not to exceed per cent, of the
total reserve, which is now probably not
less than 50 per cent, of the note circu-
lation. The bank can doubtless spare
twice as much more without danger,
as the reserve would still be fully IS
per cent, of the circulation. or nearly
double our treasury reserve against the
greenbacks.
The inflow ofspecie is still going on,
and the total receipts have now proba
bly, reached at least $45, 100000. HOY
long will it continue? Probably NJ
more than two or three months. It's
effect is to initiate the circulation, and
with the circulation to initiate prices.
This process can not go on very long
now that the currency is at par With
and convertible into specie. Prices
must soon advance to a point where it
will pay to import merchandise largely
where imoortafiOn will increase and
expectation diminish. Then the influx
of specie will cease, and very likely an
effiux will begin. 1t is in this way that
the distribution of the precious metals
is effected.
