Important Arrangement between tho
Vanderbilt and Wabash System Of Rail
&c ads.
New York, October 2s.-The Evening
Post says: We yesterday noted rumor
of the harmonizing of the hitherto con-
aicting interests of the Vanderbilt system
of roads and managers Of the newly organ
lied Wabash system. On inquiry We find
the rumor we'll founded. An arrangement
is nearly or quite perfected which on one
hand will secure to the New York Central
and Lake Shore all the buisnees, or the
bulk Of it. which the Wabash system Of
roads can collect and bring to Toledo. and
on the other hand will secure to the Wabash
and its tributaries and connections all the
southwestern business of the New York
Central and Vanderbilt roads. An author.
lied statement of the arrangement with de.
tails should be forthcoming within day OF
two. Altogether it is the most important
railroad event which has occurred for many
month, and is sufficient explanation fol
the recent buying without much regard fol
the price of the Lake Shore. New Yorl

Virginia City, New, Oct. 29-Gen. Grant
and party descended shaft yesterday ~and
visited the lower level of the Bonanza, un-
der the guidance of J. w. Mackay. Sub.
seouently he visited number of mills and
was made an honorary member of the Paci-
fic Coast Pioneers. The general made a
speech saying nothing he received abroad
gave him such pleasure as the reception
here. True, his greeting was honest and
hearty, but ii showed merely the esteem felt
for our country by q foreign nation. 1t
would have been quite different a century
ago. Nov We are regarded as the most pow
erful nation on the earth. We have much
which European nations hsye not. We
have population which ss yet does not
threaten to crowd any inhabited district, or
exhaust the productiveness Of the soil. We
have an extensive soil and immense unde-
veloped resources to exhaust before our pop
ulation will become 20 dense as to make
raising sufficient to live on serious prob
lem. In this respect We have got promise
for the future. The fact of the matter is,
We are more thought of abroad than we
think of ourselves. Yet at the same time
We think considerable of ourselves, and We,
in fact, are little Gopceited over our ad.
.vantages. [Lsughter.J Newspapers and
politicians, however, think there are good
many bad people in the world. and that
things are on the verge Of ruin. But l
guess We are all right. Laughter.] Still

FNTozoA "A group Of invertebrate an
imals which during some period of their
existence live within and derive nourish-
ment from the bodies of other animals,
and with but few exceptions belong en-
tirely to the class of helminths or worms.
Animal parasites form In fact sort of
sub-fauna, and their number is only to
be estimated by the extent of the animal
kingdom The presence of helminths or
worms in mankind is alarmingly baneful
and prevalent, and their existence until
recently was so little known that many
persons have died from this cause who
were treated for some other ailments.
Indeed it is only within few years that
heminthology has attained to the position
of true science, and chiefly through the
labors of few observers in Germany.

How CHEAP LITERATURE PAYs--It is
said that the late g. w. NJ. Reynolds had
made more money by his sixty or seventy
cheaply sensational novels than many of
the most distinguished authors in Great
Britain. His earnings from his stories
have. been estimated as high as 100000,
which may be an exaggeration, although
that would not be much more than a4000
novel, and some of his novels are re-
ported to have brought him in $4,000,
$4,000, $4,000, and even $4,000 apiece.
Tyndall, Darwin, Huxley or Carpenter
has, we venture to assert, never made one
third as much by his life-long devotion to
science. Matthew Arnold, considered
one of the most cultured and intellectual
authors in Great Britain, could not count,
it is said $4,000 as the direct product of
his pen. Carlyle, ranked by many as
as the master mind, has, after career of
continual activity, and the publication of
40 or so volumes, acquired in his eighty
fourth year, an income of a little
more than eI000. Robert Browning.
held by a number of critics to be the first
of living poets, would not have been able
to support himself had be not had q pri-
vate fortune. 1t is questioned if even
George Eliot has, notwithstandinp her
much-talked-of literary rewards, gained
as much by her famous novels as Rev
nolds is credited 18th. One cause of the
extraordinary popularity of his stories
among halfeducated people is, that he
almost invariably represents the nobility
and the upper classes as supremely sem
sual, shamefully depraved, brutally self
ish, and panders in every way to the pas
sionate prejudices of the poor and hum-
bic against the rich and titled. He
worked this vein most energetically, and,
whether honest or not, found it very
profitable. Hardly any of his literary
contemporaries except Tennyson and
Dickens can be mentioned, who have
dabbled in ink to SO much pecuniary pur-
pose as he. The most liberable compensa-
tons for literature are often given to
those whose productions scarcely deserve
the name of literature at all.-Neac York
Times.

American Archives.

When the great historian of the Uni
ted States shall come to the front and
sit down to his work, he will be appalled,
at the mass of material with which he
will have to deal. A marvellous literary
digestion will be q previous condition of
his success, for without it he can never
turn to best account the vast stores OF
books and manuscripts particularly the
latter-upon which his mind must feed
for years before he puts pen to paper.
The Librarian of Congress has just re-
ported, in response to o Senate resolu-
ton, upon the condition and extent of
the manuscript papers known as Forces
" American Archives" Peter Force, in
1880, began the great work of putting in
permanent and accessible shape all
obtainable State papers and public docu-
ments, with extensive selections from
private papers, narratives and news
papers, bearing upon the country's his
tory from its discovery to the adoption
of the Constitution in 1883. The publiea-
tion of his materials was begun with the
fourth of the six periods into which our
colonial history was divided, extended
from 1774 to the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. Six folio volumes of the
series and three of the fifth series were
published, bringing the work no further
than 1776, when it was stopped by dis
continuance of the appropriation. In
the forty years devoted to the work, Mr..
Force had made an enormous collection
of books, pamphlets, maps, manuscripts
and newspapers, and in 1867. this collec-
ton was bought by the library of Con-
gress for 800, 900 The Senate resolu-
ton which called out Librarian Spot
ford's report referred mainly to the pa
pers belonging to the fifth series of 1888,
the publication of which would COM
plete the documentary history of the
revolution. Besides letters of officers
| and other war papers, this series em-
braces the full manuscript journals of
the Continental Congress and the Con-
gress of Confederation from 1774
to 1888, of which only brief
selections have been published
There are about 100000 foolscap
pages of manuscript, which would make
thirty folio volumes of 800 pages each,
| of which the estimated cost for an edi-
| ton of 1000 copies would be $4avolume.
The editing of these papers will be a
serious work, and should be intrusted to
some one able, not only to reduce the
| bulk of the work by jndicious omissions,
| but by his familiarity with other collec-
tions to supply gaps, of which there are
naturally many. These Archives will
do for the historian of the country what
the old English chronicles and the great
collections of memories pour serrir have
done for those of England and France.
Supplemented by the stores OF informa-
ton treasured up in the libraries of his
torical societies and of private collectors,
like Mr.. Lenox, Mr.. Murphy, the late
Mr.. Brinley, and in the Carter Brown
library at Providence, they will throw
upon our early history steady and re-
vealing light.-N. Y. Times.

SIR GARNET WoLsELEY's AFRICAN Ex-
PEDITIoN.--He has supreme authority.
He has the prestige which comes of uni
form success unless his administration
of Cyprus must be accounted failure,
where he had innumerable silk purses to
make ont of proverbially unsuitable
material For the first time, however,
he will fnd himself in command of q
considerable force-near 30, 600 men of
all arms and races. It would hardly
help you to estimate his chances of win
ming glory if dilated on his social quail
ties; but may say that he is personally
popular, that he has the difficulty of at
taching men to him, that his officers
served him zealously and that his only
very marked antipathy is to special COR
respondents in the field. / met him
shortly before he went to Cyprus. Heis
a man of slight frame and middle height.
quiet in manner, with something about
him that marks in every glance and ges-
ture his life of arms anil adventure. The
most striking feature OF his spare brown
face scantily fringed With wilisker. in
in the epes, which are rather small. but
curious1y reckless and keen. He is
reckoned the most favored soldier in Her
Majesty's service. Perahps no other
man, not of royal birth, has had such
chances, or risen so rapidly. He is so
much in request that ] heard an Eng
lishnaan say recently, almost bitterly,
that whatever had to be done there was
but one man to do It. Another limited
at the same thing when he said that Sir
Garnet Wolseley was liked by every
body except the officers over whose
heads he had been promoted-a toler-
ably numerous company.

An Orthodox Chinaman.

Concerning future rewards and punish-
ments Colorado furnishes the following
illustration, which occurred recently in q
court La Yeta, where the testimony Of
q Chinese was objected to on the ground
that he did not understand or regard the
obligation of an cath. To test him he was
interrogated thus:
John, do you know anything about
God?"
no; me no belly web acquainted with
Him.
Have you no Joss in China
"Oh, yes, gottee heapee Joss.o
Where do you go when you die 2"
Me 60 to San Francisco
No, you don't understand me. When
Chinaman quit washee all time, and no
live any more, where does he 60 IN
10y, yes, me sabe now. II he belly
goodee man, he go uppe sky. If he belly
badee man, he 60 luppee down hellee,
ale samee Mclean man.
The court was satisfied with this or
thodox statement and admitted his testi-
mony.
