The Union Pacific Charter.

In an address before the New York
chamber of commerce Mr. Frederick A.
Conkling, = member of the congress
which granted the Union Pacific railway
charter, made some statements of con-
siderable interest to the general public.
We give the most important:
"The Union Pacific road was given q
bonus of $4,000 a mile for the first 300
miles $4,000 mile for the $50 miles
including the parts of the road crossing
| the Rocky mountains and the Sierra Ne
vada, and corresponding bonuses for
other portions; 400 feet of land along the
| entire route, and the right to use all the
| gravel, timber, and so ON. They were
| also given alternate sections of land ten
miles wide along the entire route, and
| $64 100000 in bonds were issued before
| they did stroke Of work. They also
| had the government lien made second
ary to an issue of S60,000,000 of their
own and had the land grant doubled.
| The lands belonging TO this great COM
pany now comprise an area almost double
the British islands-Eneland, Ireland,
Scotland, Wales, Guernsey, Jersey and
other outlying islands-and including
France as we'll. Such job was never
| Witnessed Ill any HutiOn Oh l1t WOrlu.
Every attempt to get the yeas and nays
on any questions with regard to it in
congress proved abortive, and Mr.. Du-
rant, president of the company, charged
100000 for contingencies for which he
had no vouchers, and which was paid for
putting the job through congress. One
portion of the franchise provided for a
road from Sioux City to the Pacific by
the nearest and most practicable route
The company built on the dead level
bottoms Of the Missouri river for the
purpose of acquiring its rich alluvial
lands in place of the less valuable up
lands They got 81 100000 in cash, and
2s0000 acres of land for the construc-
| ton of this l,600 miles of railroad as a
bonus At the end of IS miles they were
% miles further from the Pacific coast
than when they started. AT the end of
100 miles they were Just six miles nearer
the Pacific than when they started"
"The great transcontinental highway"
is undoubtedly graat convenience and
blessing. but that great price was paid
for it nobody can deny.

Hudson's BAY as an Outlet.

During the past summer the engineers
OF the Nelson River railway company
have surveyed a railway route between
Norway house at the outlet of Lake Win
nipeg and Fort Churchill on the Hud-
sons bay. The distance between these
places is about three hundred and fifty
miles. The surveyed route first follows
the course of the Nelson river for dis
tance of nearly one hundred miles over
a level country. The next part of the
road is over a broken rocky country,
where the Nelson river has descent of
nearly seven hundred feet to the lower
plateau, where the country again be-
comes level. and continues so to Hud-
sons bay. Upon entering this rocky
range the surveyed route leaves the Nell
son river, taking a more northerly course
toward the valley of the Churchill river,
which is reached at its entrance on the
lower plateau, and continues to follow
the course of the river to its outlet in
Hudson's bay. The estimated cost for
building the road-bed is ten thousand
dollars mile on the plateau and seven
teen thousand dollars q mile through the
rocky portion of the route, or an aver
age of twelve thousand dollars per mile
along the whole route.
1t is claimed that by this route it will
be possible to transport grain from the
Saskatchewan valley to Liverpool for
less than it will cost TO carry it to Mon
treal by the proposed railway north OF
Lake Superior.
Professor Bell, of the Canadian Geo.
logical Survey, who sailed from Fort
York, Hudson's bay, and passed through
lludsons straits in the latter part of last
September, says that sailing vessels have
sometimes considerable difficulty and
delay in getting through, but steamships
can make the voyage at any tiae be-
tween the first of May and November,
as the straits are nearly one hundred
miles wide in the narrowest part, and
the channel is not obstructed by ice.

supply of Coal In England.

The representations published some
years ago with regard to the exhaustion
of the English coal fields by the rapid
increase in the rate of consumption have
not apparently been verified. On the
contrary, the economies effected, chiefly
in connection with the iron trade, have
had the result to keep the annual con-
sumption at fixed figure-if anything
it has declined. Since 1871, the annual
saving of coal in making pig.iron has
amounted to nearly 100000 tons, and
as similar reductions have been made in
the steel and other trades, it is claimed
that there is, even now, in spite of the
strikes, surplus of coal at bank.

The Texas Pacific, History.
PHILADELPHIA Press.

The Texas and Pacific Railway COM
pany is the third of the great railroads
across the American continent within
the limits Of the United States. The en-
terprise was originally started by Gen.
John {. Fremont, who lost his fortune
and came 10 grief through misrepresen-
tations made in France in reference to
the enterprise. The corporation was re-
vived and Marshall o. Roberts, of New
York, became president Of it, The en-
terprise Jagged until Col. Thomas A.
Scott took hold of it, less than ten years
ago. He interested capitalists in the
road, and when the panic came in 1873,
il was well on its feet In the depression
that followed, the Texas and Pacific suf-
fered severely, and for time the road
was nearly bankrupt. in the general
run that followed Col Scott himself was
much embarrassed, and he extricated
himself and his friends only by bold
stroke of fnanciering. 1t is curious
fact that the property which Col. Scott
received nearly S3,O0o,000 for Yesterday
almost cost him his fortune seven years
ago. As the country began the wonder
ful recuperation, which is evidenced in
the general prosperity existing at this
time, the Texas and Pacific enterprise
again became prominent. Active work
was begun upon it, and the road crept
steadily westward. and its earnings sus-
tained it. In 1877 Col. Scott made an
effort to obtain subsidy from the ov-
ernment, which failed after an exciting
contest at Washington. Acknowledging
his defeat, Col. Scott at once changed
his tactics and said the road should be
built by private capital. He threw all
his energy into the enterprise and over
came every obstacle. To-day the road
is finished several hundred miles west of
Fort Worth, and it will be completed to
FL Paso, where it will connect with the
Southern Pacific, within a year. Last
October Mr.. Gould's attention was at
tracted to the scheme and he made
heavy investments in its securities and
entered the directory. He now COM
pletely controls the road and will operate
it in connection with the whole South
western system of railroads, of which he
also is virtual owner.

Cotton Wool as "A Cure for sneezinr.

A correspondent of the British Medi-
cal Journal says: During the recent
rapid changes of temperature caught a
cold in my head, accompanied by almost
constant sneezing My unfortunate nose
gave me no rest. The slightest impact
of cold air, or passing from the outside
air into warm room, equally brought
ON a fit of sneezing. In vain | snuffed
camphor and pulsatilla; the light catarrh
still triumphed over me. AT length /
resolved to see what the maintenance of
uniform temperature would do toward
diminishing the irritability Of my Schnei-
derian membrane, and accordingly i
plugged my nose with cotton wool The
effect was instantaneous; ! sneezed no
more. Again and again tested the eff
cacy of this simple remedy, always with
the same result. However near was TO
a sneeze, the introduction of the pied
gets stopped it at once. Nor was there
any inconvenience from their presence,
making them sufficiently firm not to
tickle, and yet leaving them sufficiently
loose to easily breathe through" This
is really worth knowing, for incessant
sneezing is among the greatest of smaller
ills, and it seems only rational conclu-
sion to hope that this simple plan may
furnish the most efficient remedy against
one of the most distressing symptoms OF
hay fever

The Minister'S Cow.

An exchange tells this droll story of a
clergyman's experiment and how il
ended:
Some years ago there lived in Central
New York very worthy and respectable
divine known AS Father Goss. He had a
hired man named Isaac, who always
obeyed orders without question.
Father Goss bought COW one day
which proved refractory when MIXED.
refusing to surrender the lacteal fluid,
although Isaac used all the persuasive
arts of which he was master. lie finally
reported her delinquencies TO his mas
ter.
"Well, Isaac" said he, "go to the barn
and get those pieces of new rope"
Isaac obeyed; the COW was driven into
the stable, tied with piece of the rope,
when the Rev. came out, armed with a
knife.
"Now," he exclaimed to Isaac, 81 will
get on the cows back and you tie my feet
beneath her, then you go on with your
milking, with my weight on her back she
must give down her milk.
Isaac obeyed. The feet were tied, the
pail got and milking commenced.
But bossy objected, and plunged W Idly
about. The stable was low, and the Rev. Is
head was fearfully thumped. "Oh, Isaac,
lsaacw bawled he, cent the rope"
Isaac seized the knife and cut-not the
rope which tied the masters feet, but
the one that tied the cow. The stable
gate was open, also the yardgate.
Away darted the frantic COW, the terri.
fed man on her back, helplessly roaring
"Stop her, stop her"
While madly careering down the road
he met a parishioner, who excitedly
called; "Why, Mr.. Goss, where are you
going?'
"Only God and this COW know" groan.
ed he; 81 don't"
The animal was finally caught and the
man released, much frightened but un.
hurt.

Baby Stealing In France.

A curious trial at the Paris court o.

The accused, who is 80 years of age
was person calling herself the Baronne

appearance. She was accused of baby.
stealing and false declarations. The
London Times says that in 1867 she was
condemned, under the name of Martin
to a years Imprisonment, for obtaining
goods under false pretenses; and while in
prison made the acquaintance of a GER
tain Nine. Borton, who had been sent
there for selling indecent photographs,
and who was captivated by her grand
airs ON leaving st. Lazare, the accused
went to stay with Nine. Bonten, and
while there formed the scheme of marry
ing Nine Bonton's son, a boy of II years
Of age, with whom, however, she set up
house without marriage, Nine. Bonton
not being well disposed toward her
guests project. The accused did not
abandon the idea, and soon simulated
pregnacy, followed by pretended con-
tinement at a concierges lodge, and the
actual production of newly-born infant
to n happy father. She had obtained
the child through the agency of an at
tendant at lying-in hospital from one
of the patients, who. however. was sulli-
ciently interested in her offspring to
wish to have news of il from its adopter
The accused having got possession of the
child, did herself up to look pale and
weak, and so returned home and went
to bed The district doctor called, the
child was registered, and young Benton
discovered an extraordinary resemblance
of the child 10 his mother, Nine Bonton,
who was duly informed of it. He agreed
TO change his name to NJ de Gravas, and
set up "a comfortable home for aged gen
tlemen," and every thing proceeded
quietly, except that the child died. The
infants mother, meanwhile, not having
received the promised news, communi.
Gated with the police, and, on the accused
at length writing TO her. announcing the
death of the child, the police We're able
to discover her whereabouts and arrest
her. She was also accused of stealing
another child in a similar way, giving
herself out as a midwife, who was charged
by husband to find a baby to place by
the side of his wife, who was certain TO
he confined with still-born child.
What had become of this child has not
been discovered. The accused stated
that she was dramatic author, had
written books, and taught English. She
declined to state her origin and antece-
dents in order to save the honor of her
family Her husband, she said, was
dead, but she had three children, one OF
whom was - wears of age. At this part
of the interrogatory she much affected
the audience by shedding abundant tears
and sobbing. Her children were in
France at her mother in-law's In 1860
she went to London, and on her return
she had considered herself unworthy to
see them. The jury found her guilty
with extenuating circumstances and she
was sentenced to six years penal servi.
tude and ten years police supervision.

CALAMITY" LAPHAM is the name of a
man who lives in Ottumwa, Iowa. He
acquired his unhappy soubriquet from
the numerous accidents OF which he has
been the victim. He was shot dozen
or more times during the war; was run
over by caisson, and went to the bot
tom of the Mis- issippi river with trans.
port sunk at the siege of Vicksburg.
Since the war he has had the cholera
smallpox, yellow fever, been bitten by q
snake, struck by lightning, and had three
ribs broken by a falling wall during ar
earthquake in one of the South Ameri
can States. A short time ago his lef
hand was cut off in an Ottumwa mill.

stood that the average price brought s27
per ton.
IL counting the profits ON cattle and
animals kept, do not forget to take into
account the value of the manure made.
This is too often overlooked, when it is
one of the most important matters on
the farm. Without manure farms soon
degenerate and poor crops are the result.
There is less danger of loss from too
many animals on place than from too
few
THOSE who have fowl houses should
not forget TO gettogether for use all the hen
manure possible. This manure is not
generally available in large lots, hence is
not often used outside of hill crops
This has given rise to the opinion enter
tanned by some that this fertilizer is only
good for corn, whereas, il is valuable for
all crops, and should in consequence be
carefully saved. If it can be collected
from week to week and incorporated
with earth it makes valuable fertili-
ger.
IT is deemed of the utmost importance
to successful tobacco culture, that the
ground for the plants be thoroughly pull
verized and deeply worked. The tobac-
co plant requires good food, especially
when large leaves are desired The
manure should be well worked in, and
the ground put into good order. Those
who raise their own plants will have to
fight the tobacco fly, and this is best done
with air.slacked lime, as is done with
the cabbage fly. As to the best kind to
plant, locality has much to do in decid-
ing that, but we see the White Burley
mentioned favorably by many growers.
Getting the seeds to grow is always some
what risky, and it will he best to test the
seeds by sowing a pinch in flower pot
indoors, first to test the growing quail
ity
