Hon. e. B. Washburne for President

There is not an element 10 the
Republican party that would not
come to the support of Mr.. Wash
burne, We're he to be nom.
mated TO the Presidency. The
German Americans, almost en-
masse, including many Democrats,
would rally to his support as they
would to no ether man. The So
called Liberal Republicans, whose
number is by no means contempti.
BILE, would be entirely satisfied with
him. The Republican party of the
nation would be literally solid in the
event of his nomination. There
would be no "bolting," no break. no
faltering anywhere.
Thousands of intelligent Demo-
Gratis would vote for him in prefer
ence to TiIden, who will, in all pro-
liability, be forced upon that party
as its candidate.
The soldiers, who cannot forget
the earnestDess and devotion with
which Mr.. Washburne championed
the interests of the army as the
leader of the House during the war
time would march to his support in
& body.
All the friends of incompatible
politics, all the friends of economy
in government, all the friends of an
efficient civil service, remembering
his long and distinguished career in
Congress-always on the side of of.
fetal purity and public honor
would naturally and of necessity be
attracted to the banner inscribed
with the name of Eiihu B: Wash.
burne. the old "Watch.dog of the
Treasury"
Therefore, withou. disparsging
the services or the deserts of other
distinguished leaders whose names
arc urged in connection of the
Presidency, the Journal deems Mr.
Washburne the strongest man who
could be selected as our standard.

The Railroad up vesuvius.

| AT the foot of the cone of Vesuy
ius, there is now to be seen the ney
station of the railway which ascend
the summit of the old crater, and il
future will spare the lover of natura
phenomena wearisome climb. TIL,
station is situated on level spot OF
the west side of the mountain, sbou
half an hours walk from the obsery
atory. As before, the traveller mus
reach the observatory from Resins
by carriage or on horseback, but be
need no longer dismount or leave
his carriage until he has arrived al
the new station, to which the broad
road has been continued. The con.
structors of the railway have adopt
ed the American double iron rope
system. There are two lines of rails
each provided with a carriage di.
capable %; 81 holding two peifsons:.
While one carriage goes up the 9TH
er comes down, TINS establishing a
counterpoise which considerably
economies the steam of the stationa-
ny traction engine. The incline Is
extremely steep, commencing at for
ty degrees, increasing to sixty. three
degrees and continuing at fifty de-
grees to the summit. Every posi-.
BILE precaution has been taken
against an accident, and the railway
itself is protected against possible
flows of lava by an enormous wall.
The ascent will be made in eight or
ten minutes, while before it required
from one to two hours. To obtain
the necessary supply of water, large
covered cisterns have been construct
ed, which in winter will be filled
with the snow that often falls heavily
on Vesnvius. This snow will be
quickly melted by the internal heat,
and, besides the water thus obtained
the frequent rainfall will also be con.
Quoted into the cisterns. An elegant
cafe.restaurant capable of accomodat
ing hundred persons will be attach
ed to the station. Above the entrance
to the latter is an ample terrace sup.
ported on columns, whence an en-
chanting view is obtained not only
of the Gulf of Naples, but also of those
OF Bale and Gaeta, each dotted with
islands. while to the north spreads
the luxuriant plain of Caserta, bord
cred by the distant Apennines.
Though the iron road may take
away some of the poetry and adven.
ture connected with the ascent of
the fiery mountain,it must not be i'm
agined that the charm Of risk will be
entirely lost On reaching the top,
there is still the new and former
cone to be assembled, and no longer
ago than last Sunday an acquaint.
ance of mine was there nearly struck
down by large block of glowing
lava, which fell at his side with q
terrible noise. With very little ex.
ira exertion of his strength, the Titan
Vesuvius can at once put an end to
all our puny attempts at conquest
and destroy in an hour the labor of
months. For the sake of the enter
prising originators Of the new rail.
way, let US hope that this may never
be the case.

An cdious Telephone.

Young Smiffkins. says tho San

what surprised, but highly elsted.
when he received 0 polite invita-.
ton from old Scroggins to come IN
and take crust--which meant din.

spent the very evening before in
the sweet society of Miss Matilda
Jane Scroggins. It was needless 20
say that he was promptly on hand.

Matilda brought the machine and
the man wound it mp, remarking
that he had it set just before going
to bed. The family circle and one
or two of Scroggin's cronies. who
happened to be present, listened
with great deal Of interest as it
slowly revolved.
THANK God the old devils gone
at last J" exclaimed the monograph,
IN tones that sounded amazingly
like those of Smiffkins. III thought

it proceeded in the tones of Matilda
Jane.
After that the instrument grew
incoherent and mixed up,as it were.
A subdued osculatory sound, min.
gied with deep.drawn signs and oo-
casional whispered protests in the
Jane voice were all that
could be distinguished. till it sudden
" olurted out: "Well, suppose old
Scrog will be coming down stairs
with club, unless l clear out"
Another silence, broken by yum
gums, and then in q softer voice the
cylinder concluded "There. you
must 60 now. Good-yum-night

beast ask you to dinner tomorrow

BY this time Matilda Jane had
tainted, and Smiffkin's face looked
ike a green cheese but old Scrog-
gins gazed upon them grimly, after
The fashion of a craven image, and
The rest of the company seemed to
be rather amused than otherwise.
Smiffkins bought mountain
