BIG RAILWAY FEAT.

The Chicago, ST Louis and New
Orleans Railroad Company changed
the gauge Of their track to the stand
ard gauge from New Orleans to Cairo
a distance Of 500 miles, within one day.
An army of laborers began the
work at 3 O'Clock, and as there was the
greatest emulation between the com
manders Of the various divisions of this
army one may readily imagine the
scene of life and activity presented
along the line of the road. The rail
way is divided off into sections of seven
miles, and every section has its sepa-
rate gang Of workmen, each Of which
is determined to be the first to com
plete the movement Of the raj s. The
next day travel was resumed on the
load as if nothing had happened

Concerning the 8 Per Cents,

are, us before stated, not quite complete.
Probably there will be continued in all
about $780, 000,0 600 of the loan, leaving to be
paid about $50, 70S,050, the remainder Of the
loan having already been paid from sur
plus revenues under calls previously made.
BY this plan the Department has been not
only relieved from the embarrassment of
providing for the payment of the coupon in
terest, but has reduced all the and per
cent loans of the Government to q loan pay
able at the option of the Government and
bearing interest at only 81 per cont. per an
mum, and this, with the trifling expenses to
the Government of preparing the new
registered bonds and of paying the
actual expensesa Of the London agency,
at which only three persons have been
employed for few weeks issuing about
$44,500,000 Of the continued bonds. The
saving to the Government through the con
tinuance of these bonds is very gratifying,
On the per cent. continued the annual
saving hereafter in interest will be $i,451,-
1875; ON the per cents, assuming
four hundred millions to be con-
tinued, the annual saving will be
about $6,000,000; making total annual
saving hereafter in the interest of the

whose imperturbability is quite equal

Historic Grounds in Nevada.

Twenty years ago the great American
Desert was the terror Of the overland
emigrant 1t was impossible to go
around it, for it extended from the Colo
RADIO to the Cascades. All the routes
that led to the land of promise crossed
it and it was soon covered with the
bleaching bones of stock and dotted
with human graves. 1t is about forty
miles from the lower end of the Hum
boldt Sink to the Truckee River at
Wadsworth, and the name "Forty-Mile
Desert" given to the stretch has be-
come known the world over. There is
no water fit to drink on the whole dis
lance. The road lies through q sandy
sage-brush plain, extending several
miles west of the lake, where it strikes
an alkali desert, in the centre of which
the railroad has a station that it appro-
priately calls "White" Plains. This is
the lowest point east of the mountains.
Eight miles further is Mirage Station,
which might serve rs a memorial to the
unfortunates who have been betrayed
from their proper course by the picture
of running water, waving trees and
fields that existed only in the deceptive
air. Near the middle of the journey is
a boiling hot springs at the foot of the
mountain and large beds of salt lie near,
from which b. F. Leete and the Bonanza
mines put up aud ship large quantities
to market. The deposit has killed all
vegetation for long distance around,
leaving the fiat old lake bed as bare rs a
floor. Between there and Wadsworth
are some very odd formations. The body
of the country seems to be light yell
low substance, probably diatomous, over
which lie high ridges of brown hills.
The level places are strewn with heavy
rocks of all sizes, as black as coal.
There is no timber anywhere in sight
and even the sage-brush is of inferior
size. On either side are the ever-monot-
onous brown mountains, carved and
grooved by centuries of wear and frost
into fringes of stony lace. The railroad
has made frequent attempts to get
water for its engines, but without sue
cess. They bored 1900 feet at Hot
Springs, but got only brackiah mixture
Of liquid alkali. Thew hanl water in
tank cars for their sec ION men between
Lovelock's and WadswoIth and the en-
zines make the run With one thankful, a
distance Of sixty-one miles. They form
eIly carried an extra car behind the en-
CINE with two wooden tanks TO draw
from, but new engines have been built
with tanks that hold $500 gallons.
They frequently run seventy-fiye miles
without stopping and Nick Cole made a
hundred-mile run once. 1t is very
pleasant comparison for the rich '49er
who rides in the palace car over the
ground where he walked along with sore
and tired feet, urging his oxen out Of the
thirsty desert, half lifetime ago.-Reno
