Xenia TOrchlight, 9th ult.
The Dayton and Southeastern Railroad,
in the hands of Receiver Gimperling and
construction trustees, Messrs. John Win
ters of Dayton, and j. W. King, of Xenia,
has been put under contract to the coal
fields, to be completed this fall. Track
laying has commenced from Musselman's,
and in few days cars will run into Chill
licothe. The bridge at Chillicothe and
masonry are in state of fOrwardness.
Over one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars have been raised, here and at Day
ton, for its completion. Its business is
such that it has paid one six months cou-
pons, due, on its bonds, and they are
now paying the second. Their bonds
have advanced fully 90 per cent. since
| the above arrangement was entered into,
and the names of the parties in charge
are sufficient guarantee for the success
full completion of the road. Its bonds
are now mostly held by capitalists for an
advance, and when it becomes fully es
tablished, so that it can pay its per cent
semi-annually, they no doubt will be a.
popular as the Little Miami or any Othel
security.

Buying a Girl for Memphis.

New York Times.i
An Italian named Antonio Sieco,
having in charge a very pretty
Italian girl of thirteen years, named
Angela Maria Margharita Gala, whom
he was passing off as his daughter ar
rived at Castle Garden, on the Greece,
on Sunday. The girl, on being ques-
tioned, said that Sicco was not her
father, but had purchased her from
that person at her home near Alessan-
dria, Italy. Sicco told the officials
that he had been in this country be-
fore, and had been employed as host
Ter by Mr.. Irving Halsey, of the firm
of Young 4 Halsey, Memphis, Tenn.
When he returned to Italy in Novem-
Der, 1877, he promised Mr.. Halsey to
bring him out an Italian girl to do
housework. He denied that he paid
Angela's father any money, but admit
ted that he expected to be repaid the
sum he had expended for her passage,
amounting to between $50 and $50,
from her future earnings. He claimed
to be a distant relative of hers, and
said that he gave her out as his daugh-
ter to avoid unpleasant comments.
When asked why Mr.. Halsey could
not have employed an American girl
to do his housework, Sicco replied:
American girls too lazy, Italian
girl work hard; please de boss" He
said that Mr.. Halseys partner is Hon.
Casey Young, member of congress
from Tennessee. Superintendent
Jackson has telegraphed to Mr. Hal
sey to ascertain whether Sicco's story
is trno.

GENERAL D. G. MoCALLUM, who
was manager of railways during the
rebellion, and who really played a
much more important part in that
struggle than many officers whose
names are more familiar to the people,
died Friday night in Brooklyn. Gen.
McCallum was born in Scotland in
1875 He came to America with his
parents in childhood, and was brought
up at Rochester, N. Y, where he
learned the carpenters trade, and was
for years occupied as an architect and
builder In 1855 he was appointed
general superintendent of the New
York and Eric railway. AT the out
break of the war he was residing in
the West. His professional eminence
suggested the line in which he could
be of greatest utility in the military
service. In 1864 he was appointed
general manager of all the United
States military railroads, with the
rank of brevet brigadier general.
After the close of the war, General
McCallum was engaged in the
thorough reorganization of the in
jured railroad communications for
government purposes, and busily
employed in the disposal of such
buildings and materials as were no
longer required. In June, 1865, he
was mustered out of the service with
the brevet rank of major general
and in 1866 he made valuable report
upon the military railroads under his
charge during the war. From this
document it appeared that he had
under his supervision 2l05 miles of
army railroads, of which GAL miles
we're constructed by him, and above
twenty-six miles of bridges. There
were 4l9 locomotives and 633 cars run
on the military roads under his man
agement, and the expenditures of the
government upon this branch of the
service was $42, 100000. After return
ing to private life, General McCallum
accepted an appointmentment as in
spector of the Union Pacific railroad.

to sick headache, that infallibls symptom Of
diSOrdered stomach, liver and bowels.
Many suffer from it As many as three or fsur
times a week. They do so needlessly, for
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, by toning the
digestive organs and regulating the bowels
and liver, removes the cause, and dispels the
painful symptom. The intimate sympathy
between the brain and the abdominal region
causes the slightest disorder affecting the lat
ter to be reflected, az 1t were, in the organ Of
thought. The reform instituted by the Bitters
when the digestive, seeretiVe and eyacuatiye
functions are in a state Of chaos, has other
and more benefcial results, viz the complete
nutrition Of the whole physical economy, the
restoration Of appetite and repose, and an
increase in the power Of the system to resist
diseases Of n malarial type.

THERE is general complaint among
the Republican newspapers of the
North because Senator Blaine did not
take hold of that investigation him
self The Hartford Courant says that
"It is to be regretted that Mr.. Blaine,
who was so profoundly impressed of
the necessity for the Investigation,
should not have been willing to assist
in it. And the National Republican
thinks that Senator Blaine, after ini-
tiating the fight, should be in the fore
front of the battle, instead of at the
rear, among the baggage train"

NAMES once prominent industry,
shipbuilding, gives employment to a
constantly decreasing number of per
sons, not half the work having been
done in the season just closing that
was done in the previous year. In
deed, only eleven ships were built in
the State, and of the ninety-six YES
sells constructed, the average tonnage
was only 425, or, taking out the ships,
less than 300. The prospect is that
less shipbuilding will be done in 1879
than in any single year in the last
thirty.

GRANTS trip to the East is explain
ed. Raphael, the astrologist, declares
that Grant was born with five plan
cts near the vernal equinox" and that
" he is spoken of for election in 1880,
but as the sun will not then be free
from the influence of Satrun and
Uranus it is very doubtful if he will
be elected" Grant intends, therefore,
to interview the sun, which, he has
doubtless been told, rises in the East.
If he is unsuccessful in that quarter
he will probably make an effort to buy
off Uranus and Saturn with promise
of seats in his cabinet. This he could
safely do so far as Saturn is concern
ed, for the old fellow is as familiar as
Grant himself with rings. ."-[ Detroit

CANADA, by her own showing, owes
$l5O,00O,0OO, and has just arranged for
loan of $l5, 100000 more. Her debt
is, in proportion to her resources,
larger, probably, than our national
debt, for her resources are quite linn
tied Much of her debt has been in
CURED by the erection of public
works, which, like the nter-Colonial
railway, built for political considera-
tiOns, will never yield an income.
Many of those were not needed, nor
were they expected to pay. Canada is
not progressive, and has nothing to
render her so. Her development is,
on the contrary, retarded in many
ways, chiefly by the tenure of vast
tracts of land, as in the mother coun-
try, and by the continual emigration
of many of its best people to the richer
and more promising country over the
border.

presented in voice and manner the
picture of a grief which in the nature
OF things it was impossible to feel.
PHE Sandwich Islands must in fair

TIE Sandwich Islands must in fair
ness be reckoned among the countries
which have progressed most in the
last half century. They have, in fact,
leaped in that period from barbarism
to civilization, and Queen Emma pre-
sents greater advance over Kemeha-
meha ii. than Queen Victoria over
William the Conquerer. Kameha-
meha Ii. was the first Sandwich Island
monarch who became personally known
to European fame. Accompanied by
his principal queen and sundry subor-
dinate consorts, he visited England in
1924, and an enterprising manager
drew large houses by inducing the
party from Honolulu to frequent his
theater, But the entertainment from
which they derived by far the greatest
qualification was Punch and Judy.
On the whole they behaved very we'll,
but now and again burst the shackles
of civilized life. Mullets in a fish
monger's shop on one occasion proved
too severe temptation. They went
for them with bound, and devoured
the delicacy raw. Before they had
been in London { month, the princi-
pal queen died of measles, and the
king, prostrated with grief, survived
her only a week.

Edison, by the way. is wonderfully
expert with his pen. He writes a
square hand, printing every letter sep
erately, and writes like lightning. DR..
George M. Beard, the famous electri-
clan and neurologist, in whose com
pany | went to Menlo Park, is now
making a study of the subject of the
cramps induced by writing, playing on
musical instruments, ETC., and he asked
Edison to write. He obligingly started
off and wrote in that beautiful legible
print, every letter a separate charac-
ter, and he wrote orty-eight words in
a minute, from memory: Now is the
winter of our discomfort" etc. Then
he dashed of a line diagonally across a
fresh sheet as straight as if
ruled. Then he wrote the same
line in a perfect circle, with
no gauge but his eye; then he wrote it
in words so small that the line looked
merely like one straight scratch of a
blunt pen, and the casual observer
would not suspect it was writing, and,
after he did suspect, would not be able
to read it without magnifying glass.
1t is the work Of an artist. Then he
gave us a specimen Of the illegible
writing of the well-remembered Bloss,
of the Cincinnati Enquirer, as he re-
membered it when he lived in Cincin
natl. And very like that profile of
inky vermacelli it seemed. When we
reflect how much hard work Edison
has done in ten years, and how much
irregularity of food and sleep he has
INDUCED in, it is surprising how much
play there isin him yet and how steady
his hand is,
