Fast Trains-VandaIia Line.

The era of fast time on the Eastern rail-
ways seems to be approaching; indeed is at
hand. Only week ago, the Baltimore and
Ohio road started in, "giving 'em the dust"
as its advertisements stated. Now the Van
dalia Panhandle and Pennsylvania roads

nouncing the same time TO Baltimore as the
B. & o., and four or five hours quicker time
to New York. Other lines will undoubtedly
follow and the public will have the oppor-
tuuity by travelling by fast trains in all d..
rections. For perfect track, elegant equip
ment and intelligent and successful manage
ment the Vandaha Line and its "Great Faith

Tho IIancnck sIanhers

The Baltimore Gazette publishes briei
interview with Prof. and Mrs. Tonry (daugh.
ter of Mrs. Surratt) which throws discredit
upon recent reports of alleged conversations
with them regarding General Hancock. The
following are their later remarks:
THE reporter of the American" said Mrs.
Tonry, "called on me when my husband
was out and asked me few questions. the
object of which | did not really understand.
Out of a few remarks he made what YOU see
in the paper"
"You did not say all that is in the Amer.
lean, then ?"
Excuse me if l seem to be abrupt" in
terrupted her husband at this iuncture, "but
respectfully beg you to ask my wife no
more questions, and let the conversation drop
here"
What are your objections, sir?"
81 don't care, sir, to say anything one way
or the other after what has transpired, and
after the way we have been misrepresented.
wish to be allowed the privilege of making
statement in my own handwriting and
under my proper signature When the
proper time comes shall make denial of
the whole interview referred to and publish
it above my name."
"Then you do not deny that the interview
was correct"
Il have said all I intended to say, sir. 1
have stated that would publish denial of
it in toto, and now wish to be excused"
The Baltimore Sun prints the following
card from Professor Tonry:
In Saturdays Baltimore American there
appeared an article headed "Alrs. Surratt's
Death-What Her Daughter Has to Say of
Hancock's Connection with It," The article
was not authorized, Endorsed or given for
publication by my wife or myself Mr.. E..
P Fulton, of the Baltimore American, called
at our house last Thursday evening. Mrs.
Tonry refused to give him any statement for
publication, and referred him to me. Later
in the same day Mr.. Fulton called again,
when l also refused to give him any state
ment for publication. Mr.. Fulton called a
third time, the next day, and was third
time refused any item or statement for pub
LEGATION. 1 did not talk to him 'thus unre
servedly on the question" as is stated in the
article. Quite the contrary. MIR. Fulton
had had but three interviews with either my
wife or myself in which this subject was ever
mentioned. 1t not true that l said, 81 rely
upon you to reoprt us correctly" What l
did say to Mr.. Fulton was: 81 wish you to dis
tinctly understand that you have no right
and are not authorized to publish anything,
one way or the Other, except what give you
over my own signature"
With this statement on my part the public
may believe just as much of the article in
the American, which is against General
Hancock, or of the article in the New York
World, of January 5, 1888, which is in favor
of General Hancock, as may be convenient.
Both articles are represented as the result of
interviews. In future hope the gentlemen
of the press will not put themselves to the in
convenience Of calling either upon me or my
wife upon this subject, nor do we propose to
take any notice of the many statements that
will probably be made by persons who know
not of what they speak.

Mr.. d. B. Wharton, ofthe Ohio & Misiis-
sppi railroad ticket office, had in his posses,
sion yesterday, a dscolored and tattered
copy of the "0ficia Register" for l845,
published by order Of the secretary OF war,
in compliance with the resolution of the sen.
ate, December 10, 1915, and resolutions of
the house, February l, 1880, and February
16, 1913" The relic is the property of Mr..
Wharton's mother, whose husband and his
two brothers were in the army at the date of
the issue, preceding the Mexican
war, and all of whom participated in that
contest. TIL re were then eight regiments of
infantry, five of artillery, and two of dra-
goohs, by which name the cavalry was desig.
mated. These with q small general staff aud
al engineers corps, composed all the United
States army. Winfield Scott was major
general in command of the army. General
George B. Mcclellan was secon lieutenant
in the third infantry, 50 obscure that bis
name was printed "Geo. G. Mcclellan" In
the same regiment Don Carlos Buell. was also
a second lieutenant. The fourth infantry
contained two second leiutenants who made
their names memorable in the civil war, on
opposite sides--General Longstreet and
Ulysses ). Grant. Longstreet had been then
in the service for two years, while Grant had
quilted West Point but a year previous, and
was attached to the army as a supernumer-
airy, with the pay and rank of second lieu
tenant" William T. Sherman, present
general of the army, was first lieutenant in
the third artillery, as was General E o, G. Ord.
Robert b. Lee was captain of engineers, as
was George W. Cullom while under them in
the same corps, were General G. T. T.
Beauregard, who has since dropped the "Pn
in his nsme-General NJ. G, Megs, General
W. 5. Rosecrahs, and General w. II. Hslleck,
the last two being ranked as second
lieutenants only, In the Typographical corps
were Joseph E Johnston, first lieutenant,
and John A. McOomb, who fought after
ward on opposite sides. Gen. G. G. Augur |
was lieutenant in the second infantry, in !
which Simon B. Buckner and Gen. r. S.
Candy, who was assassinated by the
Modocs several years ago, were second lieu
tenants. Gen. Abe Bedford, of Kentucky, the
well known turfman of to-day, was then
second lieutenant of the first dragons, of |
which regiment William j. Hardee of "Har-
dee's Tactics" and one of the hardest fighters |
of the Confederacy, was captain. General
John Sedgwck was first lieutenant of the
second artillery. The sixth Infantry roster,
however, contains more of interest |
than any other. Of that regiment the

OF the war with Mexico, aud occupied the

Why the Needle Points North erIy.


A SAN FRANCISCO gentleman lately
n wrote to the Superintendent Of the
U. S. Coast Survey, Professor 9. Il. Pat
terson, asking the reason why the mag
netic needle points TO the north. In re-
ply Prof. Patterson wrote as follows, and
possibly many more than the original
inquirer may be glad to read his simple
statement of the facts Of the case.
The reason why the needle points in
the northerly direction is that the earth
in itself is magnet, attracting the mag
netic needle as the ordinary magnets do;
and the earth Is magnet as the result
of certain cosmical facts, much affected
by the action of the sun. These laws
have periodicities, all of which have not
as yet been determined.
The inherent and ultimate reason of
the existence of any fact in nature, as
gravity, light, heat, etc., is not known
further than that it is in harmony with
all facts in nature even an earthquake
is in perfect harmony with, and the di-
rect resultant Of the action of forces act
ing under general laws.
A condensed explanation IN regard to
the needle pointing to the northward
and southwark is as follows The mag
netic poles of the earth do not coincide
with the geographical poles. The axis
of rotation makes an angle of about 90
with line joining the former.
The northern magnetic pole is at pres
ent near the Arctic circle on the meridi-
an of Omaha. Hence the needle does.
not point everywhere to the astronomi-
cal north, and is constantly variable
within certain limits. At San Fran
cisco it points about 17o to the east of
north, and at Calais, Maine, as much to
the west
At the northern magnetic pole bal
anced needle points with its north end
downwards in plumb line; at San
Francisco it dips about $50, and at the
southern magnetic pole the south end
points directly down.
The action of the earth upon mag
netic needle at its surface is of about the
same force as that of hard steel mag
net, 40 inches long, strongly magnetized
at distance of one foot.
The foregoing is the accepted explana-
tion of the fact that the needle points to
the northward and southwark. OF
course no ultimate reason can be given
for this natural fact any more than for
any other observed fact in nature

You Have a Father.

Rev. DIR. John King once went to visit

children were seated in a school-room,

Yes, sir; yes, sir;' said some little
voice.

A forest of hands were put up.

Yes, sir; yes, sir"
Now" said DR.. King, "do you ever

you"
The children began: "Our Father

you begin right?"
The children began again: "Our
Father who art in heaven"
"Stop again children" said Dr. King;

He owns all the gold in California; he
owns all the world; he can give you as
much of any thing as he sees it is best

all youwant, as If you could see him.
He is able and willing to do all that is
