Weathsrford jubilation, which re-.
minds us Of the old days in San Di-
ego, when Col. Seotts myrmidons
were months and months grading
roadbed from New San Diego to
the race course at Old Town, dis.
tance of three or four miles. The
contrast between the lightning
work Of the Southern Pacific and
the snail.like advances of the Tex.
as-Paclfic is we'll illustrated by the
following, also taken from the
Times:
At the Fort Worth end of the
line, Messrs. O'CoAnor & Shiel,
contractors, have completed the
sycamore creek fill and the cut be-
yend and are now entirely employ.
ed on the heavy fill approaching
the Trinity river. -Four miles from
the commencing point in Fort
Worth they have sub-let two miles
to Messrs. Orr & Lynch, of Dallas,
which is to be pushed forward next
week. This will bring the work to
the hills on the pralries, 6 miles
from the present terminus, at which
point the contractors have consid-
erable cutting TO do. Everything
appears to be progressing favorably
and steadily, and our correspondent
states that large numbers of people
visit the scene of operations daily,
fully Impressed that, within six
months, Fort Worth, instead of
being the terminus Of the Texas
and Pacific Railway, will be the
first prominent station east of the
terminus. This certainly looks
business and carrying out what we
have so often stated would assur.
edly coms to pass-the extension of
the railway from Fort Worth to
Weatherford.
Our Texas contemporary thus
outlines programme OF six
months work for the Texas-Pacidc
working westward which the
Pacific, ut the rate at
which they are now building in
Arizona. would dispatch in three
weeks. Whatever quarrels we
have with our California railway
we cannot forego an ad-
mission of their splendid road.

A Vienna paper tells good story
of a Russian corporal who had so
distinguished himself in the recent
Turkish war that before the close
he had received two crosses of st.
George, and was about to receive
third. When the General was on
the point of comforting the third
cross upon him, he first asked the
corporal whether he would rather
have the cross or a reward of one
hundred roubles. The corporal
paused thoughtfully for moment,
and then inquired as to the none
tary value OF the cross. "Four rou-
bles," replied the General. "Then,"
said the ingenius corporal, "I
should prefer that your Excsllency
would give me the cross and ninety.
six roubles."

The National Complaint.

Dyspepsia is the national complaint.
Almost every other man or woman you
meet has 1t, and the result is that the
number of pseudo.remedies Tor 1t Is as

for the most part worthless. There Is,
however, searching eradicant of this
distressing and obdurate malady, one
whose genuine merits long since raised

with greater certainty and promptitude
than any known remedy, and is a most

irrefragable proofs repeatedly laid before

RESTORATION OF SIGnr-One week
ago DR.. w. +. Fundenberg, of Cumber-
land, Nd, operated upon Capt. Sam
uel Kimmell, aged &c years, of Jenner
township, this county, for the removal
OF cataract from his left eye, the sight
of which had been lost for over five
years. The delicate operation was per-
formed with that skill and care only ac-
quired by years OF practice and study.
To-day we are pleased to say that the
sight has been entirely restored. The
delight of this aged gentleman in again
being able to see after so many years of
darkness can easily be imagined. A few
weeks ago we made note of similar
operation by Dr. +. upon Miss Muir
ply, aged 70. We again take pleasure
in recording another successful termna-
ton OF the most delicate operation
known in modern surgery.-SOmersa
