Perhaps there will be railroad across the Desert of Sahara by or soon after the time when the toot of the locomotives whistle is heard in the Holy Land. The exploration of the desert with view to the construction of railroad across 1t has now fairly begun. Colonel Flatter's expedition left Wargie on the 9th ult. on their southvard march. In addi- ton to the leader, the party comprises nine scientific officers and twelve French soldiers, besides numerous camel drivers.

Those who saw the famous Island No 10 in the Mississippi river during the late war and have not been there since, would be greatly surprised at the present appearance of the island. Ia war time it contained two or three fertile plantations, and on it the rebels placed three thousand men and erected earth works to obstruct the passage of the federal gunboats, but most of the island has been swept away by the river, and there is now left only sand bank overgrown with cottonwood and willows. The land on the shore where the rebels had their batteries has also been washed away.

The American double iron rops system has been adopted by the constructors of the rail road up Mount Vesuvius. There are two lines of rails, each provided with carriage divid
 ed into two compartments, and capable of holding six persons. While one carriage goes up the other comes down, thus establishing counterpoise which considerably economies the steam of the stationary traction engine. The incline is extremely steep, commencing at 40 Q increasing to 63 Q, and continuing at 50 Q to the summit. Every possible prscau- tion has been taken against accident, and the railroad itself is protected against possible flows of lava by an enormous wall. The as- cent will be made in eight to ten minutes. To obtain the necessary supply of water, large cisterns have been constructed, which in the winter will be filled with the snow that often falls heavily on Vesuvius. This snow will be quickly melted by the internal heat. and, be- sides the water thus obtained, the frequent rainfall will also be conducted into the cis- terms. An elegant cafe restaurant, capable of accommodating 100 persons, will be attached to the station. Above the entrance to the latter is an ample terrace supported on col

Capitalists are just now supposed to be paying good deal of attention to tho slate that exists in great abundance in various parts of New England, and it is said that tho more investigation there is made the better the promise of profit. It is certain that thero is any quantity of slate in New England, and that it is of superior qual- ity. The demand for it is constantly increas- ing, and it can be cheaply produced. There is also much less risk in investments in the slate business than in ordinary mining oom- panies, because every stockhoider can zee the mine with his own eyes, and is not obliged to take anything on trust. Now for slate boom.

1t is highly encouraging to find this
subject stated and argued with so
much clearness and judgmen, by an
official i'll the high position occupied
by Mr.. schurz. 1t affords another
proof cf the solid qualities of mind
whch have given him high distinction
among his countrymen. He has out
lined the policy which must be accep-
ted as the policy of the future, if the
Indians are not to perish utterly under
system which keeps them in perpet.

them self-dependance and the necessity
of individual effort aud responsibility
which lies at the bottom Of all human

The air Of sleeping room should
be constantly renewed from without,
yet it should not he icy cold. 1t is
quite am zing to see W thotherwise well
informed people the lingering preju-
dice against night air, which makes
them willing to breathe Initiated air
all night long. Attention to the ar
ing OF beds and bedding cannot he too
great, aud it ought too be insisted up
on in every house. The hurry to
have rooms in order early causes beds
to be made up before they have been
thoroughly permeated by air and sun
light, and gives them that close, stulIy
smell which is a sure index Of deficient
cleanliness. During The night tie
body throws of, through the Invisible
pores Of the skin, much imnurity, and
to make up o bed while mattress,
sheets and blankets are still swelter-
ing with animal heat is a thing no
neat, intelligent housekeeper should
ever do under any pressure Of hurry.
The rest OF the room can be busted
and set to rights, and the bed clothing
left spread over chairs, with windows
open, until a late hour, and nobody
will be hurt. Where Il bedroom is the
common sitting or sewing apartment
Of family, it should be thoroughly
aired for half-hour before dark, ev-
oryhody vacaing it for the purpose,
aud again before it's occupants retire.

The New York HeraN insists that

to interpose objections to the building
Of canal across a country fifteen

WASHINGTON. Nov 29.-The following
memoranda are taken from the records kept bv
Mr. q. Moses, Secretary to the Vice President
du lug the period OF the last elect rial count, OF
theinformalities andl allure to compl, wi Ii Il
strict requ lrements of law in the preparation
and transmission of the electoral certificates to
acting Vice President Ferry. Its publication
at this time may have the effect OF putting
those interested upon their guard against
repetition of the err Is noted, any one Of which
might cause delay CT complications IN the final
counting of the electoral vote. IL should be
borne in mind that these omissions and irregu-
larities occurred notwithstanding the notice to
the electoral colleges from the week Of tn
election that the final count would be the cos
est and most vigorously contested OF any re-
corded in our history:
From Tennessee, Maine, Virginia, Pennsyl-
vania, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Vermont,
California, Massachusetts, Florida, Louisiana
and Oregon the packages containing the cleo
toral votes we're not Endorsed upon the outside,
as required by law, and their contents were
merely matter of conjecture. They might
have been opened by the Vice President as or
binary letters addressed to him would have
been. In the case IF Mass .chus4tts inform
ton was furnished subsequently indicating
that tue outer envelope should Oe removed and
that another envelope, properly Endorsed,
would be found inclOsed.
On the envelope inclosing the Florida certifi-
Gates even the posSmark was not distingu sha-
BILE, and the packet was afterward traced back
to Tallahassee by means of the postal registry
system. Many of the electoral certificates re-
ceived by mail had not been registered even,
and in reference to the above mentioned pack
cts there was little in the form or exterior of
the returns to indicate their nature or distin-
guish them from other letters received by the
Vice President.
The packages from Maine, Vermont, Oregon.
Iowa and Kans IS contained within their sealed
envelopes the cert fcafes Of apo nt'nent
electoral messengers. These, OF course, were
not attainable by the Vice President until the
seals were broken.
The Governors of Tennessee and Mississippi
did not inclose with the returns from those
States certificates of the election of electors.
The envelopes received by messengers from
Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Tennessee and
Florida were not Endorsed by the electors nor
as containing the electoral votes of the States.
The envelope Of the package received by mail
from Arkansas was Endorsed with the names OF
the six electors all in the same handwriting,
and there was no distinct declaration upon it
that it contained he electoral vote of the
State.
The certificate from New York was folded
but not placed in an envelope. 1t was sealed
upon one of the folds, but the wax did not Sc
cure the fold.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The following proc
lamation has been issued by the President:
Whereas satisfactory evidence has been
given to me by the Government of His Males
ty, the Emperor of China that no discriminate
lug duties of tonnage or inn osts are imposed
or levied in the ports of that nation upon ves-
sells wholly belonging to citizens of the United
States, or upon produce, manufactures and
merchandise imported in The same; therefore
|. Rutherford B. Hayes, President Of the
United States of America, by virtue of author
ity in me vested by law, de hereby declare and
proclaim that foreign discriminating duties Of
tonnage and imposts within the United States
are and shall be suspended and discontinued
so far as respects vessels of China. and pro-
duce, manufactures and merchandise imported
therein into the United States from China OF
from any other foreign country so long as the
exemption aforesaid on the part of China of
vessels belonging to citizens of the United
States and their cargoes shall be continued and
no longer.
In testimony whereof have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
(Signed) R. B. HAYES.
By the President,
WILLIAM M. EvARTs, Secretary of State.
