Edison,s Electric Railroad.
New York Herald.

Edison has at least proved that he
can utilize the electric current for rail
road purposes. A Herald reporter
went to Menlo Park, yesterday, to
witness a trial Of the new motor on
the three-quarter mile railroad. As
a precautiCn against unforeseen acct
dent, the member of the press selected
a seat as near as possible to the nven>
tor, because it would DC only natural
that that WAS the safest one in case
the train should jump the track. AT
a signal from Edison, Mr.. Bachelor
moved the leverattached to the switch
and of we went. The riding was very
enjoyable for the first five hundred
wards OF so, when suddenly Il mosl
horrible curve was reached, round
which the morton with its car attached
spun at rather uncomfortable gait
Then came a series Of serpenline
curves that were enough TO fnghten
anybody, hat there was no slowing up.
On the contrary, more power was
put on, until it seemed that the whole
party were going to be shaken from
their seats. The line was located in
the worst possible positions by Edison,
in order that the "beauties" Of hi, in
vention would he readily seen by any
one on the car. Some of the curves
are as sharp as those used on the roads
round street corners in New York, 50
the readers can imagine how pleasant
it was to go around them at The rate
of about forty miles an hour. The
strangest parl of the programme was
the easy manner OF controlling the
motor. it being stopped within fifty
feet, although going at a high speed.
1t ran up against the heavy grades as
easily as on the level track, and was
as powerful at the end Of the track as
in the station, where the electric cur>
rent first reaches the rail. After the
first trial the reporter was invited TO
ri1e on the motor without having the
car attached, so that the speed would
be increased. Three went on the trip
one at the switch, another at the
brake and the reporter holding on for
dear life. AT the word go the ma
chine shot off like bullet and it was
only by holding on firmly that ones
seat could he kept. As the curves
werestruek the motor rocked fearfully;
in fact, it was as hard to keep your
seat on it as it was on an unbroken
mustang when he sets his mind on the
"bucking" process of dismountlng
you. The time made was fifty-three
seconds from the station to the en1 of
the track on the first trial, and forty
two on the second. The motor has
an electric headlight which is burning
continuously, and which has very
pretty effect in the night time.

Sending by Wire.

The schoolmaster is abroad, and yet
the following incident reported by an
exchange occurred ut Albany, not many
days since. A lady had returned from
New York, where she had been spending
q few days. While there she purchased
dress pattern ut dry goods store, and
on reaching home found that three yards
more were needed.
The pattern selected was new de-
sign and in great demand. What to do
to get her order to that firm for the
needed quantity she was at loss to
knew. and hesitated about sending "a
letter, fearing it might not be delivered
in time.
She conceived the idea that she could
order it by telegraph, and at once went
to the Office.
After writing her message on the
Western Union blank, she took from
her pocket sample of the dress pattern
and pinned it securely to the blank.
She then handed her message to the
clerk, who told her the cost, at the same
time removing the pin and sample from
the blank and handing them to her.
Looking at the young man, she ex-
dRimed, my good man, that is the
faample of the goods want, and unless
you forward it they won't know what
to send"
The operator politely replied. my
good women, we will send your mes
sage. but cannot send the sample"
Very we'll, ," she answered, eff you
cant send the sample, you won't send
anythingl" and took tack her message
and left the office.
Whether she succeeded in securing
the extra goods We cannot say, but GER
tain it is that she possesses more knowl-
edge now Of the art of telegraphy than
she had on Thursday.

Railway Earnings and Extensions

The compiled statements of the earn
ings of the various railroads in this
country fromlthe LIST of January, 1880,
to August 81, shows tho remarkable
fact that every road reports an increase
over the sane period last year. We be-
lieve without an exception. The gains
in many instances have been very large,
ami the prospects now indicate that
this great volume of business will be
kept up for some time to come and the
roads be taxed to their utmost capacity
in order to move the vast amount of
products from the agricultural regions
to the markets of the world. This rush
of business on all the roads has been
the means of giving an impetus to rail-
road building, aud new roads and
branches are springing up every where.
The number of miles of railroad OF the
United States now exceeds that Of any
other nation, and comprises more than
two.tifths of the entire globe. The ma.
jority of the lines are fast evertaking
powers, and our leading lines are as a
rule making money for the stockhold-
ers. This important statement of rail-
way traffic is worthy of careful study.
A very large portion of the internal
trade of the country is done through
the medium of the railroads, and the
striking gains this year over the large
business of last year, shows more plain.
~ than can be demonstrated in any other
way the greatly increased volume of
trade which has been and still is being
done throughout the country, particu.
larly between the eastern seabOard and
the great section of country in the west
which is mainly devoted to agriculture.
And there is reason to believe that this
internal trade will go on increasing, for
new sections are constantly being opened
up to civilization and cultivation, and
immigration is spreading farther into
the west, northwest and southwest, and
constant additions are being made to
the national wealth by the tilling of
vast areas Of soil which have hitherto
lain unproductive. The great wheat
fields Of the northwest are promising
goal for railway enterprise, and no less
than six roads have now entered that
territory from the east. The amount
of new land which is made accessible
and open to cultivation by these rail-
way extensions is enormous, and the
tide of immigration is exceedingly en-
couraging. In the southwest the rail-
ways are also extending their lines with
great rapidity, and still more country
is being opened to settlers. We can
hardly tell what the result will be in
another decade, but we are sure that
our nation will lead the world in rail-
ways, and we think the builders see tire
way to make them profitable invest
ments, -Hanteye.

A woman without beauty only sees
the half of life.
Young women are severe; they don't
feel the stress of action as men do.
a true love for good woman is a
great thing. 1t shapes many rough
fellow.
A woman should early learn how to
be Old and that is not a Iall talent.
When a woman is not contradicted
she has no obstinacy III her absurdities.
Beauty is the first present nature
gives to women and the first it takes
away.
A woman, let her be as good as she
may, has got to put up with the life her
husband makes for her.
Plain women are to be regarded as
other severe facts of life, to be faced
with philosophy and investigated by
science.
A fine lady is squirrel headed thing,
with small airs and small notions, abou ut
US applicable to the business of life as
pair of tweezers to the clearing of a
forest.
To think Of the part one little woman
can play in the life of u man, SO that
to renounce her may be very good i'm.
itation of heroism, and to win her may
be discipline.
The society of dull, prosy women is
about as relaxing as going from one's
work to teach the second form, instead
OF reclining in paradise, with sweet
laughs for bird-notes and blue eyes for
heaven.
That fine girl is good creature. but
little too earnest. 1t is troublesome
to talk to such women. They are al.
ways wanting reasons, yet they are too
ignorant to understand the merits OF
the question, and usually fall back on
their moral sense to settle things after
their own taste.
