New YOrk's First Railroad.

IT is less than fifty years aimee the
FIRST railroad was built in this State. On
the 29th day Of July, 1880. ground was
broken for the construction of a line by
the Mohawk & Hudson Railroad Com
pany, that had been incorporated by an
act of the Legislature on the 18th day
| of April. 1926. 1t was formed for the
purpose of constructing . single or
double railroad or way between the
Mohawk and Hudson Rivers, commenc-
ing from the Hudson River at any point
within the bounds of the city of Albany,
or within half mile west of the same,
to transport, take and carry property
and persons upon the same by the
power and force of steam. of animals,
or of any mechanical or other power, or
of any combination of them which the
said corporation may choose to en-
plOy."
About the goth of July, 1881; twelve
and one half miles of the road had been
completed, and on the 9th of the same
month locomotive, the De Witt Clin-
tun, was placed upon the track. It
was built by the West Point Foundry.
Another locomotive had been ordered
from Stephenson, of England, which
was placed upon the road on the 18th
of September. A trial of the first loco
motive was not successful. It was found
defective in the capacity of the boiler,
and portions had to be returned to the
foundry for improvement. The road
was formally opened by grand excur-
sion over the line on the oath of Sep
TENDER, 1881. just as the company
was about to start the feed pipe of the
English locomotive, the Robert Fulton,
broke, and horses were substituted
tandem. The train consisted of two
cars. The three cars composing the
other train were drawn by the De Witt
Clinton. The locomotive made the re-
turn trip with all five cars in thirty five
minutes.
The completion of this road was &C.
complished in the spring of 1882, the
cars first used being coach bodies
placed upon trucks and supported by
thorough braces, in the manner Of
stages. The termini at Albany and
Schenectady were inclined planes
worked by stationary engines, and the
cars were drawn up by means of large
rope, and balanced by a car loaded with
stone descending the opposite track.
This road was the first built in this
State, and is now part of the New
York Central & Hudson River Rail-
road.
The State Engineers report shows
that at the end of the fiscal year. Sep
TENDER 80, 1879. there were 28S railroad
comDanies that had roads in this State.

The Southern Planter gives the fol-
lowing method of an Alabama gentle
man in asoertaining the age Ct q horse
more than nine years old: After the
horse is nine years old a wrinkle comes
in the eyelid at the upper corner of the
lower lid, and every year thereafter he
has one well-defined wrinkle for each
year of his age over nine. IF, for in
stance, horse has three wrinkles, he
is twelve; if four. thirteen. Add the
number Of wrinkles to nine and you
will always get at the age.

The Terrible Roman Feyer-The Per.
niciOSa.

Even in the earliest days it was the
custom to wish a "good" August and
to make presents and to give dinners
and entertainments. The reasons
for there is method in all these mad
nesses-is that August is the most un-
healthy month in the year in Rome.
If you escape the fevers until then, you
can rarely escape them in August. I'M
less unheard-of precautions are taken,
of which you soon get tired. AS rest,
sleep and good wine are the surest pre-
ventives of Roman fever. the August
gifts usually take the form of poultry
and wine. If you can eat well. sleep
well and drink we'll and never 60 into
the open air while there is ray of sun,
you may escape the fever. But eat
irregularly, and drink poor wine and
90 out during the hot hours. and sooner
or later you will be seized with fever,
and Roman fever is not easily forgotten.
It begins with a shivering fit that
shakes the very room in which the VIC
tim lies, nor can the heaping on of
eider-down.quilts and pillows stop it.
1t sometimes continues for hours. The
teeth chatter, and YOU feel as if sud-
denly east naked on an iceberg. When
the shivering fit ceases the fever COM
mences, and after that comes a profuse
perspiration. The more you perspire
the better, for if the patient does not
perspire he is suffering from the worst
kind of Roman fever, called the "per-
niciosa," whose very name makes Ro-
mans quake with terror, for it carries
one off in a couple of hours. Native
Romans think nothing of these fevers;
they do not even call in doctor if all
goes on we'll; that is, if the perspira-
ton comes out all right. They know
exactly what to do, and the fevers have
no more effect on them than that of
keeping them in bed during the actual
feverishness. Between the spells, which
return very regularly, they eat, drink.
work, walk and 60 to theaters as If
nothing was the matter with them; and
will sometimes continue thus for more
than eighteen months. They look as
yellow as the lemons, the juice of which
they drink. but that is all. With Amer
leans and English. however. the case rs
different. In the first place we begin
by being very frightened, end the qui-
nine has not the same effect on US as it
has upon the Romans. Our stomachs
reject it after a very few doses, much to
the doctors dismay. A couple of fever
ish attacks reduce Us to q state of pros
tration. We are unable to lift hand
kerchief. The dreaded "perniciosa"
soon makes its appearance, unless we
can be removed to better air, when the
fever disappears as if by enchantment.
At the first sign of a Roman fever,
therefore. every American should leave
Rome Immediately, if only for Frascati,
Albano or any of the other summer re.
sorts which are at the gates of Rome.
Doctors send away patients in their
beds, if they are too weak to be re-
moved otherwise. The Hour.
