Captain Eads' Ship Railway.

V0pta10 G00S snip railway.
The Scientific American of this week contains
two full page illustrations of Captain Eads' pro-
posed railway for transporting ships with their
cargo across continents.
Captain Eads claims by his plan to be able to
take loaded ships of the largest tonnage from one
ocean to the other across the Isthmus of Panama
as readily as can be done by canal after the
Lessup plan, and at q much less cost for engi-
neering construction.
The project is certainly bold and engenious,
and the protector anticipates no serious dificul
ties in carrying forward his enterprise. The
engravings referred to in the Scientific American
show the proposed construction Of not only the
railroad, but the appliances.for transferring the
ships from the water to the rail.
In addition to the large number Of engravings,
illustrative Of engineering works, inventions
and Rew discoveries which appear weekly, the
Scientific American has, during the past year, de-
votednonsiderable space to illustrating and de-
scribing leading establishments devoted to diff
ferent manufacturing industries.
Thisfeature has added very much to the at
tractiveness and usefulness Of the paper. More
than fifty Of the most important industrial es-
adjustments Of our country have been illustra-
ted, and the processes Of the different manu-
factures described in its columns. The Scien-
fifc american has been published for more than
thirty-four years by Mum & Co., 81 Park Row,
n. Y, and has attained larger weekly circula
tion than all similar papers published in the
country The publishers assure the public that
they have not printed less than SO, 0OO copies q

A Sian that Was Paid for.

Rude fun ought to cost the maker
something-and it generally does. In
this case the offender gets off easier than
he had any right to expect, after his in
excusable assault. Says the Cape Ann
Advertiser:
Not many months ago party of BOs-
ton gentlemen came to this city and
went on fishing party. Some of them
got pretty jolly, one in particular, who,
seizing one of the Goldfish which they
had caught, walked up the wharf. He
soon espied a veteran fisherman, who
was saving wood, and under the impulse
of the moment fetched him a whack
across the face, with the Goldfish.
In moment he was sobered. The
generous impulse Of noble heart throb-
bed in his bosom. He felt that he had
done mean, ungentlemanly act, and
he meant to atone for it then and
there.
Taking out teIl-dolIar bill, he prof
fered it to the veteran, saying:
accent this an let it wipe out any
recollections of the cowardly blow I
struck you, as 1 did not mean to do it
and am very sorry for it,"
The veteran took the bill, his face
beaming with mingled establishment and
delight, and making bow, remarked (:
See here, stranger, you can wipe
me over the face all day long with a
Goldfish, at ten dollars lick! I don't
bear you mite of ill-will, don't. I
rather like your style. When are you
coming again p
And that settled it. It was lucky for
the gay joker that his victim was of
thick material enough to take money
for an insult.

East African SIaYe 1'rade.

The Sultan of Zanzibar has succumbed
to the British cruisers on his coast and
stopped his African slave trade. His
Sultanship is a conundrum to many per-
sons who do rot keep the run of great
men in the East He owns little strip
of land in Arabia, hugging the Persian
Gulf, called Muscat, and an island and
a strip of mainland midway the eastern
coast of Africa, called Zanzibar. He is
Sultan of both territories. Yet when,
in ante-bellum times, q so-called states
man was asked to vote for the ratification
of treaty with the Sultan of Zanzibar,
he innocently asked: 6 Where is Zanzi-
barP The Observation-Disclosures of
Soho Square, London, and our own pious
missionaries can now forward their
Bibles and flannel shirts te the heather
ia equatorial Africa without fear that
the Sultan viii confiscate the boxes Of
the Giaours. And yet the conviction
must force itself upon the Caucasian
brother that the man and the brothero
in Africa is bappiest without either
Bible or flannel shirt, for he win neither
learn from the one nor wear the other.
IS his time is chiefly taken up in knock
ing down cocoanuts or jumping through
jungles in search Of grasshoppers for his
frugal meal.

American Farmers on the AmazOns.

American Farmers on the AmaZOns'
From Smiths " Brazil and the Amazons."I
Down the Santsrem street come four
brown horses, dragging an immense
American wagon; q, tall, cOatless indi-
yidual sits astride one of the leaders,
and guides the caValcade with much
flourish and noise. He draws up In
front of St. Caetano's store and salutes
the merchant; then aEghts and marches
straight up to US, remarking, WellI
who are y0u?" OF course, we get &C
uuainted at once, and Mr.. Platt is man
worth knowing, too He is one of some
fifty Americans who are established in
the forest near by. Platt is himself
Tennesseean; the others are from Mis-
sissippi, Alabama, and so on. Farmer
PIatt presses us to come out for few
DAYS" and we go. The wagon, he in
forms us, was sent from his old home in
Tennessee, and, in spite of law which
declares agricultural Implements free Of
duty, the duties amounted to as much as
the original cost. Presently we stop
with Jerk; one of the wheels is caught
in a big LLAMA. TIE farmers wife wei
comes US cordially, the children are shy,
for they do not often see strangers.
All the Americans are cultivating
sugar cane; the juice il distilled into
rum. which is sold at Santarem. Prob
ably coffee or cacao might pay better,
butour colonists came without money
and can not wait for slow-growing crops.
Platt saved little money and bought
this ground of an Indian woman, and
had to carry provisions six miles on his
back. Plat had to grind his corn at
wooden mill until he could get an iron
one, at double the original cost. And
so with all tools and agricultural i'm

Schooling" complains Mrs. Platt; 'they
can't even go to Brazilian master, for
we are too far from town." Sometimes
they visit with the other Americans,
but the plantations are far apart and
the roads are rough, and it is not often
they can make a holiday, unless it is
Sunday.

Preiudice as a barrier.

Oleomargarine, to use vulgar phrase,
sticks in a great many peoples crops.
The popular notion of oleomargarine is
that the substance is necessarily COM
pounded of dead horses and favored
with carbolic acid. But then the pop
ular notion of any chemical discovery is
very apt to be itself q compound of
ignorance and stupidity. Oleomargarine
need not be one whit more unwholesome
or unpalatable than dairy-made butter.
The chemical elements are the same in
each case, and the only difference to the
eye of science is in the methods of prep
aration. But we need not remind the
intelligent reader how suspicious the
populace is of every improvement in the
preparation of food which involves
mystery. Some years ago a benefcent
plan was put on foot to supply aerated
bread by the use of carbonic acid gas
generated from marble dust. The bread
thus made was purer, cleaner, and
altogether more wholesome than that
made in the ordinary way by the use of
yeast. But no amount of capital or
argument could overcome the popular
prejudice against il when it was known
that marble dust was used.

naraoraph which has recently ap-
neared in the German official papers in
forms the subjects Of His Majesty, the
King of Prussia, that the Royal Pro
vinciaI Government at Dusseldorf has
graciously authorized one julius Jack
ass resident in Lohdorf, District of
So1inpen. as well as his wife and chill
dren. TO change the family name he has
hitherto horne. invo that of Courage.
Such a surname as Jaekass can not but
he a chronic affection to the unfortu-
nate persons condemned by the accident
of birth to answer to 1t, and Mr.. Cour-
age, formerly Jackass, may be congrat-
uIated upon-the result OF his appeal TO
the merciful consideration OF the con-
stituted authorities, who have relieved
him from all bat intolerable patronymlc.
In Germany, however, such an lnhlctlon
is less grievous to its victims than else
where, because quaint names are so
abundant in every class OF society that
the edge of public apprehension Is
blunted as far as their comlcal or re-
proachful significance is concerned.

ever, evidently found his g front name"
to be more than he, could bear with any
degree of comfort, or even resignation ;
and it is creditable to the good taste Of
the royal officials at Dusseldorf that they
should, as it were, have paid tribute to
the vigor OF the resolve inspiring him
to rid himself forever of a patronymic
that remoreiessly "set him down as an
ass" by bestowing upon him the highly
honorable and appropriate surname Of

The Future Center Of Commerce and
Culture.

As Mr. Gladstone has thought that
the commercial center OF the world may
shift from London to New York. so NJ
Littre, the famous French lexicog
rapher, thinks that the center of cul-
ture will move from the Seine to the
banks of the Hudson. This gentleman
is of opinion that the ruling language Of
the future will be Anglo-Saxon, aud its
chief seat of learning will be in the
United States. As regards population,
that race comes first; its numbers in q
generation or two will probably reach
400, 100000 of the human race. After
then comes the Chinese, equal In NUM-
Der, but, as static people, unworthy to
rank with Western races as a factor in
the worlds development. After the
Anglo-Saxon, as governing races, M.
Littre puts the Russian, and then the
Spanish, to whom he comedies in the flu
ture the greatest part of the South
American continent The capacity for
expansion of tho United States and
Russia may possibly menace the indie
pendence of old European states; but,
in this respect, M. Littre argues that
the security of human life individually
which has followed in the wake of civil
ization, will also be accorded to the
States, and that Russia and America,
unlike the ancient Babylon and Egypt,
will develop without injury to the ma
tions upon whose frontiers they may
touch.
