The Business Boom
New York Herald.

Wall street is a sea of speculation and com
merciRl activity. 1t makes one dizzy to read
our money columns Enterprises which a
generation ago would have tried the resources
of the nation are tossed up and down and
handled us easily as an ordinary business
transaction. A railway king will buy y rail-
way as he buys a cigar. One syndicate of
bankers subscribes forty millions 10 complete
the Northern Pacific railway-an enterprise
which few years ago the same bankers con-
demned as almost as visionary as q railway to
the moon. A Broadway firm buys Long
Island railroad, and the transaction is not
deemed worthy of more than passing notice
in the news columns. Never was there SO
much activity in railway building. The
Atchison and Topeka people are pushing
their road toward California. The Southern
Pacific is driving toward the Gulf of Mexico.
By the first of the year junction of these
roads will be made and we shall have two
roads to the Pacific. II is proposed to build
another from Ogden to Portland, Oregon,
through the heart of the best of our western
territories. Two or three roads are going
into Mexico, one of which will find an outlet
at Guaymas, and be fourth route to the
Pacific. Then, If our Canadian friends are
sesious and propose to build their road to
British America, we shall have in few years
FIVE distinct railways between the Atlantic
and the Pacific. If the Mexican enterprises
flourish, in FIVE years that country, which
now Las only few hundred miles of rail-
way, viii have twenty-five hundred. This
activity is, Of course one of the results of the
prosperity which our country has enjoyed for
the past few years. We have recovered
from the paralysis which fell upon
us in 1878. In those days conserv-
alive business men would have
nothing to do with the west or the south.
Tho west was twenty years ahead of time.
The territories we're good enough for Indi-
ans and bufialoes-there was no money there.
The south was in the hands of the ku.kluk
and the carpet baggers-there was no safety
for capital. The only things worth having
we're the old established oonoerns-the rail-
ways that ran between great cities and
through settled communities. Now all is
changed. The west and the south are the
favorite fields Of enterprise. Money fears
neither the Indian nor the ku-klux. Com

The Fast Mail Service
New Orleans Democrat.


The arrival of the first train of the fast
mail service in this city yesterday morning
is an event Of importance and of promise for
the future. The fast mail service, which was
inaugursted between New York and Chicago
i few years ago, met with such success and
was productive of so many advantages to the
people along the line of the route, that nearly
every other section Of the country demanded
it. Most of the western towns were success
full, but the south was not recognized in this
respect until few months ago, when south
ern fast mail service was resolved on, and the
necessary arrangements made with the rail-
roads. The present train is the result. This
train is so arranged that net only New Or.
leans but nearly every town In the south is
benefited by it 1t collects and distributes
local mails, and connects al Richmond, At
lanta and other points with fast trains for Ss-
vannah, Jacksonville and other coast towns.
The pioneer train of this new movement
left Boston, from which it started OF 6 D. M,
aud was exceedingly fortunate in its entire
trip, meeting with 10 delay, and maintaining
its schedule time until within few miles Of
this city, when = freight train delayed it a
little The time g,nsd over the former
mail service is just one day, so that we are
now, thanks TO hi, fast mail service, one
day nearer New York and other commercial
centres of the country than under the old
system. In the present ago of progress, and
when time lie so important and 50 valuable to
the merchant, day saved is an immense and
scarcely apprecsbls gain. 1t was impossi.
bic for New Orleans TO compete successfully
with other and rival cities a. long as they
possessed this advantage over her, but now
that she is on equal terms with them she has
nothing to fear Judging from tho success
of This first effort, there is every reason to
believe that this fast mail service from New
York will be permanent and thorough, and
cur merchants may safely count on having
their New York correspondence laid on their
desks in future fifty hours after it leaves that
city.

Our Noses.


As man becomes civilized his nose becomes
OF less practical importance TO him. When
ne rises, however, to a certain stage of re-
hnement the nose resumes its usefulness and
gives an aesthetic value to the sense of
smell as important as the artistic eve or
the educated ear. In other words, a nose
needs to be trained to DO either useful or
aesthetic. and IN all intermediate stages can
only dishgure or embellish the face without,
having particle Of practical value. Praeti-
cal or physically useful noses need no library
for their development. This quality is the
natural and brutal one, and is possessed by
the savage in something like the degree that
ltappesrs in the dog and other animals. In
stances are given of Indians who have readily
recognized various persons by their odor,
and have been able to tell what race they
belong to. A deaf and blind mute. who wa,
IN the Massachusetts asylum few wears 400.
could tell every one of her acquai,t nces hv
the odor of their hands, and in asserting the
clothes Of the pupils, after they came FROM
the wash, she separated and put each pupil 3
articles by themselves, guided simply BY her
marvellous sense of smell. MIR.
Henry L. Fink, in late article in the
h1antlc, says that certain books and news
papers have distinctive smell, aud differ in
this regard almost as much as they do in
nients. Ho intimstes that he himself has
very ordinary nose, and yet he can detect
any one Of the principal New York papers
by its peculiar odor. The Tribune, Herald,
Tunes, World, Graphic and Sun, are as cas-
ilv selected by the nose as the eve. Aud
Mr. Fink says that anyone with even
me most commonplace nose can read
lily accomplish the same feat after
single trial But Mr.. Finck goes still further
AMI says that with a 'it.le practice person
will be able to 60 to his library in the daj k
and pick out certain book from u multitude
of others on the same shelf, guided only by
bis nose" This experiment Is worth irving.
Let US test our noses and see if they real,
are SO penetrating. To come back to man
kind, however, DIR. jaeger, of Stuttgart, after
u long series of experiments, came to the con.
elusion that there are characteristic odors or
every class of living beings, for every order
and family, and finally Tor every individual,
and instances are on record where rascals,
who have defed the eye and ear of the
shrewdeat detectives, have been finally ex
posed and brought to justice by the despised
nose.

sherman for Senator.

The tide is evidently setting strongly and
rapidly toward John Sherman in Ohio. The
feeling is that Sherman is an able man, who
has served his party with zeal for thirty
years, and that the refusal to return him to
the senate would bsa species Of partisan dis.
grace. There 10 also notion, growing out
of the mesnness touching the Chicago hotel
bill, that disposition to take foul hold of
the secretary exists somewhere. II appears
that he was in no way to blams-indeei,
that nobody was to blame, there being in
reality no issue whatsvor-but that an at.
tempt was started 10 smirch him. There is
a consequent reaction. As TO Governor
Foster, he is provided for until next October,
and may BIO re elected for q second term,
which will open future to him without dis.
credit either to him or his party. SO 1t seems
that we shall have John Sherman once more
in the senate, and we are free to say we had
as soon see.him as any of the rest of--..theh.
The trail ofthe serpent is over then all, only
John Shermsns snake is . big one.
