A MILE IN A MINUTE.-The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company will take off its
Summer trains next Monday, but other
wise make no change in the timetable.
It has been intimated that this company
intended to run it's trains at a higher
speed, so as to "clean the clocks of their
rivals, but this is denied ON authority.
The train master, by whom the time
tables are arranged, ridicules the news
paper discussion in regard to the possibil-
ity of running ga mile a minute,,' this
rate Of speed being very common On the
Pennsylvania Railroad. He says that
within week he has ridden three conse-
cutive miles in even quicker time than
that-viz.: the first mile in fifty-three
seconds, the second mile in ffty-two sec
onds, the third mile in ffty-four seconds;
total, three miles in twenty-one seconds
less than three minutes. The time now
made is ninety miles in one hour and for
ty-three minutes otherwise 103 minutes
after allowing for stops, and, according to
the prediction of the officer referred to,
"fve years hence mile minute will be
considered very SLOW"

TO JUDGE 4 HORSE' s AGE.
From Kpndal1'S Treatise on the Horse

From Kendalrs Treatise on the Horse.
Eight to fourteen days after birth the
first middle nippers of the set of milk
teeth are cut; four to six weeks after
ward, the pair next to them; and finally
after six or eight months, the last. All
these milk teeth have well defined body
neck and shoulder fank, and on their
front surfaces grooves, or furrows, which
disappear from the middle nippers at the
end of one year; from the next pair in
two years, and from the incisive teeth
(cutters) in three years.
At the age of two the nippers become
loose and fall out; in their places ap-
pear two permanent teeth with deep,
black cavities, and full sharp edges. At
the age of three, the next pair fall out
At five years old the horse has his perma-
nent set of teeth.
The teeth grow in length as the horse
advances in years, but at the same time
the teeth are worn away by use. about
one-twelfth of an inch each year, SO that
the black cavities of the nippers below
disappear in the sixth year; and those OF
the corner teeth in the eighth year; also
the outer corner teeth of the nipper and
lawer jaws just meet at years Of age.
At years old cups leave the two CEN
ter nippers above, and each of the two
upper corner teeth have a little sharp
protrusion at the extreme outer corner.
At the age of ten the cups disappear from
the adjoining teeth; at the age of eleven
the cups disappear from the corner teeth
above, and are only indicated by brown
ish spots.
The oval form becomes broader and
changes, from the 18th to the 10th year
more and more into triangular form,
and the teeth lose, finally, with the Goth
year, all Regularity. There is nothing
remaining in the teeth that can afterward
clearly show the age of the horse or justi-
fy the most experienced examiner in Civ
ing positive opinion.
The tushes, or canine teeth, conical
in shape, with a sharp point and curved,
are cut between the Sd and 4th year;
their points become more and more
rounded until the ninth year, and after
that more and more dull in the course
of years, and lose, finally, all regular
shape. Mares have frequently no tusks,
or only very family indicated.

Although Mr.. J. @. Gault has

Although Mr. J. G. Gault has retired
from the position Of Assistant General
Manager of the St. Paul Railroad, since
the LIST of this month, it has not yet trans
pired who his successor will be. 1t is GER
tain, however, that a choice has been
made, but the name is not announced yet
for some reason or other. The Tribune
IS able to say, however, that it will be
either Mr.. F. n. Ninney, at present Gen
eral Manager of the Wisconsin Central
Railroad, or Mr.. John Cameron, of Glas-
gov, Scotland, formerly Assistant Gene
raj Manager Of the London & Northwest
ern Railroad and President of one of the
''bursted" Glasgow banks. Mr. Cameron
came to this country in company with Mr..
Alexander Mitchell, President of the Mil
waukee & St. Paul, short time ago. Mr..
Mitchell, it is said, is anxious to him ac-
cept the position. The indications are
that he will be the successful man, and
that his appointment will be officially an
nounced as soon as he has become little
more familiar with the business of the road
1t must be remembered that shortly after
Mr.. Gault accepted the General Manager
ship of the Wabash, st. Louis & Pacific
Railroad, dispatch from Milwaukee stated
that it was a gentleman from abroad,
whose name could not yet be divulged.

GL4DSTONE'iS KINKS.

1t is very remarkable that the greatest
minds have their foibles and little weak
nesses as well as the smallest. You
would hardly expect such a man as Glad
stone, for example, to have what we
Americans call "kinks" and yet he seems
to be full of them. His knowledge OF
Greek is so perfect that he is apt to con-
found even Professor Blackie, of Edin-
burgh, who has made it the speciality Of
lifetime. He is thoroughly versed in
all political and social topics, and is in
it's best and largest sense a ripe scholar.
And yet he has taken a notion of late
that tea and coffee are the bane of man
kind, and writes letters to prove that one
of the demoralizing influences of the
nineteenth century comes out of the cof-
fee and tea pot. He declares that Eng
lish beer is virtue in comparison with
the vice of English breakfast tea; that if
the world ever comes to bad end, it
will be in consequence Of this immortal
tea-drinking which pervades every rank
of society. Well, if we were to obey the
commands of all the reformers who wish
to MAKE the world better, we should re-
form ourself all to pieces in a short time.
The Americans say that one should drink
nothing but cold water, while the French
man declares, with a shrug of his shoul-
ders that it is unreasonable to ask him
to drink what he uses to wash his hands
and body-namely, this selfsame cold
water. Gladstone would interdict tea
and coffee, and so deprive our old ladies
and spinsters of the one enjoyment of
life. In the millennium we shall settle
all these vexed questions by drinking
what we please, and not too much OF
ANYTHING.

an ILLINOIS BORGIA.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 12.-The Times-J our
nal has a special from Lebanon, St. Clair
county, ILL.,, which says Mrs Alice Dan
brough, living about three miles south of
that place, was arrested a few days ago
on charge of poisoning her husband
Thomas Danbrough and his brother, Geo.
Danbrough. The circumstances, so far
as now known, are that Danbrough and
his wife and two children and his brother
George, lived together in apparent har-
mony. George was industrious, miserly,
and was supposed to have some money.
Sixteen months ago he died suddenly
but nothing particular was thought Of it
and the event was soon forgotten. Abont
nine months ago Thomas Danbrough also
died very suddenly. Suspicious were
aroused that all was not right and post
mortem was demanded by friends, but
Mrs. Danbrough objected so strongly to
having her husbands body mutilated,
and seemingly suffered 50 much grief at
his death, that examination was waived
and the circumstance passed off out Of
mind. Some days ago Mrs. Danbrough
went to Lebanon and entered charge
of rape against George Liston, Of East ST.
Louis, who she ttestifed came to her
house with drawn knife and pistol and
demanded qualification of his lust and
compelled her to yield to his wishes. He
also stated that he had letter which
would prove she had poisoned her hus-
band and brother-in-law. This letter was
subsequently obtained by Detectives Tip
ton and Harrison and proved to be from
John Freeland of East St. Louis,
brother of Mrs. Danbrough, and threat
ened to expose the poisoning of the two
men if she did not send him three dollars.
Freeland was Immediately arrested and
he and Liston and Mrs. Danbrough are
now in Belleville jail. The grand jury Of
st. Clair county is now investigating the
matter. 1t is said Mrs. Danbrough has
admitted the act Of poisoning, having
given her husband arsenic and laudanum
and her brother-in-law strychnine. 1t is
also stated that Mr. Danbrough had con-
templated numbering Mrs. Mcleod, a
neighbor, so that she might marry her
husband, but this latter statement is not
fully carroborated.

POPULATION AND HEALTH. appears
from the official reports, that the expert
ence of what are called model lodging
houses, such as the Peabody buildings in
London and other larger towns, combin-
ed with that of barracks, warehouses, and
schools, furnished abundant evidence
that what is termed density of population
is not so detrimental physically as has
usually been assumed; because in such
buildings as are referred to the rate of
mortality is much less, with density of
1900 persons to the acre. Again, the
health of community is found to be
much more dependent upon food, cloth
ing and personal habits, than upon the
arrangement and construction, these may
be entirely neutralized if the food is bad.
the clothing deficient, and the personal
habits filthy.-NeW York Tribune.

A Missing MAN DEMONSTRATION
John w. Harper, of the Danville Qnd.) J
College disappeared mysteriously year
ago, while on his way to address Sun
day-school convention. There was moth
ing his business or social relations to drive
him off, and it was believed that he had
been murdered for the $500 that he was
carrying in his pockets. Lately his wife
took out letters of administration on his
estate. But he now returns. His story
is that he was knocked down and robbed !;
that the blow affected the reason, and he
wandered westward, finally coming to
his senses among the Ute lndians.-Mat-

Mr.. TILDEN's PHYSICAL CONDITION.
For many months past the accounts of
Mr.. Tilden's physical condition have
been extremely contradictory, many per
sons who had seen him claiming that he
was failing rapidly, and going into his
dotage, while others who ought to know,
maintained that he was unusually vigor-
GUS and healthy, considering his years.
A prominent Ohio banker, who visited
New York lately, met Mr.. Tilden and
had long conversation with him. His
account confirms the idea of physical
breaking down. He says MIR. Tilden is
paralized on the left side Of his face, can
not open his left eye, is shambling in his
gait, and seems scarcely able to Lift his
feet. This banker whose name is not
given, claims to have known Mr.. Tilden
Intimately for many years. and he main
tains that their has been great change
or the worse, within a short time. A
prominent business man in Pittsburgh,
whose name is also withheld, who talked
with Mr.. Tilden last week, confirms the
account of the Ohio banker.

General Grant, in private letter to a
friend in Washington, received yesterday,
says that he does uo5 except to be in
Washington until about the Christmas
holidays, unless something in connection
with the inter-oceanic Nicaragua canal
question should call him there sooner.
The letter is mainly devoted to the canal
question, and shows that the General is
in earnest in his determination to do
everything within his power to further
his work. The projectors to the canal
scheme have taken hold Of the matter
earnestly, and are doing all that is posi-
BILE to effect proper organization for the
purpose of securing from the government
of Nicaragua the necessary concessian to
inaugurate the work.

EDUCATION OF Young INDIANs.-HAR-

and ninety young Indians arrived here
from the West tonight and were taken
to Carlisle on special train. The old
military barracks, over 13O years old, are
to be turned into a school for the instruc-

instalment of them. The number will
be soon largely increased. The Indians
are nearly all from Dakota. A few ofthe
prospective pupils come from Wisconsin
and speak the English language reason

The practice of Postmasters selling
postage stamps in large quantities at a
considerable discount, in the way of trade,
was stopped by the department some time
ago, and a rule was made basing the COM
pensation of Postmasters upon the amount
of stamps actually cancelled at their office,
and not, as formerly, upon the stamps
sold. The operation Of this law has proved
so effectual that in some Offices the sales
of stamps have fallen off four-ffths, and
the postal revenue is corresponding ly re
duced
