TIMELY TOPICS,

There is another astonished English
man making n tour ofthe West-George
Jacob Holyoake, the veteran English re-
former and radical. He is enchantcd,n
he says; this is a marvellous country
and it has n tremendous future; and he
adds: 1.-The beauty of the women and
the comeliness of the men have aston
ished me, for that is not what we have
been led to expect From this he
hastens to infer that the human race
generally is improving.

From four to five carloads per day of
black walnut logs, rough sided Squared
on four sides and the corners dressed
DOWN, are brought to Chicago by the
Chicago and Rock Island and Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy railroads. These
logs go East by rail and water to the
seaboard, whence they are shipped to
EurOpe-Germany being one of the
largest consumers. The logs, on reach
ing their destination are sawed 10 the
sizes and shapes demanded by the mar
ket. The trade of this nature passing
through Chicago is estimated at from
100000 to 100000 feet per year.
France has made decree in one 10
her departments that will be approved
by spinisters the world over. The gen
eral council of Rhone enacts that, mas
much as celibacy is contrary to nature
and the creeds of Providence. and as
mature celibates are class of men who
fill the State with corrupt opinions, all
bachelors in the department of the
Rhone shall be taxed to the amount of
one-quarter of their pay or pension for
the support of abandoned children. The
council disclaims any intention of I'M
Justly discriminating against the I'M
| married men, but announces as its final
judgment that children who have been
abandoned should be supported by bach
elors rather than by men who already
have families dependent upon them.
One feature of the last eruption of the
remarkable volcano of Kilanea, in the
Sandwich Islands, is the fact that the
great molten lake of lava, occupying a
huge cauldron nearly mile in width and
known as the "South Lake" was drawn
off subterraneously. giving no warning
of its movements, and leaving no visible
indication of its pathway or the place
of its final deposit. Other eruptions
have blazed their way on the surface of
the sea, or, while on their subterranean
path, have rent the uperincumbent
beds, throwing out jets of steam and
sulphurous gases, with here and there
small patches of broad acres of lava. But
! as yet no surface marks of this kind re-
veal the silent, solemn course of this
burning river. One theory is that it
flowed in deep assures and become lost
finally far out at sea. The old process
of replenishment of the "South Lake t"
has already begun.

LONDON, June Hottie Mark Lane Ezp7ess

Deliveries of English wheat at country markets
have increased, but the offerings at Mark Lane
were light, and trade fat. Both in town and

A Lively Railroad War in Colorado.

Denver, Col, June 9.--The railroad contro-
versy here between the Atchison, Topeka d
Santa Fe and Denver & Rio Grande interests is
assuming alarming proportions. The Rio
Grande was leased to the Santa Fe company
six months ago, but the Rio Grande com pany,
since dissatisfied with the lease, sought to
break it. The attorney general, acting upon
information Of the stockholders of the Rio
Grande, brought suit on its part before Dis
trict Judge Bowen at San Luis, 800
miles south of Denver, for an in-
junction to prevent the Santa Fe
from operating the roads in Colorado. Satur-
day Judge B..wen took the matters under adj
visement. To-day the Governor received In
formation that theRio Grande authorities had
taken possession Of the Offices Of the road at
Colorado Springs and Coal Banks by an armed
force, ont the telegraph wires: etc. he ordered
the militia to be in readiness and the Chaffee
