A Novel sleeping Car.

New York CONNER cial- dvertlser.
Jay Gould's latest exhibit in railroad ven
lures is the introduction upon his western
loads OF now car seat, which may result in
revolutionizing the whole system now in
vogue of seating and sleeping the travelling
public. His purpose, should the experiment
prove satisfactory, IS to place upon his
passenger cars a seat which will serve for
the present day coach, and at night can be
converted into upper and lower sleeping
berths, with tho comfortsnd accomm o dation
now provided on the ordinary sleeper. This
improvement will eventually be used
for all classes OF travel, from the first
class passenger to tho emigrant the
only difference being in the upholstery and
finish, watch will of course be regulated &C
cording to tho rate of fare paid. To first
class travel Mr.. Gould sees way of supply.
Ing seating and sleeping accommodations
with the present extra and heavy tariff for
sleepers avoided, and at the same time no
seeks to gain the pecuniary advantage which
will naturally come to the roads Introducing
the new system. Each seat has u double
cushion, which makes it more desirable for
day travel. When the berths are to be
made up the box below i, uniolded and
supported by movable rods TO form the
bottom of the lower berth. The cur.
tAins for each berth are separate and distinct,
whereby q passenger above desiring to re-.
tire can draw his curtains without inconye-
niencipg his fellow traveller below.
The occupant enjoys the advantage of be.
ing able to....st upright in either. tho upper
or lower berth. Every person occupyi, z u
scat is supplied with sleeping sccommoda-
lioss, and on tho receipt of comparatively
nominal sum, company could supply q
passenger with single berth 10 himself,
should he desire 1t.
Under order from Jay Gould, The inven.
tor is shipping from Philadelphia number
of the new seats TO tho Missouri Pacific
railway company for use on frst.class cars,
while lot is also being made for trial on
other western roads.

Blood On the stage.

Philadelphia Times, April l2.
During the performance of "Olhello"
by the great Salvin and his company at the
Chestnut street opera house last evening, an
Incident occurred which, although noticed
by comparatively few among the immense
audience, created good deal of excitement
behind the scenes. 1t was during the second
act, the scene Of the drunken brawl between
Cassie and Roderigo, which is ended by the
entrance of O!helo, who with an immense
scimits strikes up the swords of the brawl-
ors. In executing this effective msneouvre,
Signor Sslvini struck with the edge or
point of his scimi,ar the back of tho hand
Of Henry Crisp, who played Cassie, iunic,iog
an ugly wound about two inches long. The
actors kept their nerve and heads, and The
scene went on rs though nothing out of tho
bills bSd happened, but spool OF blood ran
down on the stage and Montano's tights were
spattered with gore. Behind the scenes
Miss Marie Prescott, who plays Emilia,

New York Herald.
The proposition to construct a railroad
across the African Sahara seems at first a
bold one. The contemplation. however, OF
our own raiwsy.maps west of the Mississippi
will divest the idea of much of its apparent
grandeur. M. A. Duponchel, ingenieur en-
chef des points ct chaussees, was furni-hed
means by the French government in 1873 to
study portion of the ground. His volum
inous report, published in 1879, has added
greatly to our knowledge of the matter. He

plorers under Captain Flatters was sent ia
push the reconnaissance along the whole
route proposed. The catastrophe which has
recently overtaken that expedition may
check exploration for the moment, but the
project seems to take definite shape.
The principal object arrived at Is, perhaps,
foreshadowed in the peculiar wording on NJ
Duponchel's title page, where he qualities
the proposed railroad as y function Colon
iale entire PAlgerie OF 10 Soudan." To the
world at large the main result of tho enter
prise would be in the opening up to increased
agriculture and commerce to that vast, i'll
defined regions of Central Africa; but the
hopes of the projectors 60 further and point
to the possible creation there of French
colonial empire. Says M. Duponchel: "Wha,
is being so successfully accomplished by Eng.
land in India, by The United States in
North America by Russia in Central Asia,
that should we try 10 do in emulation OF
their example-seek n continent wherein
to extend our beneficial influence, and find, by
the employment of our idle capital, at once a
now market for the products of our indus
tries and manufactures, and vast centre
of agricultural production able to supply us
at small cost with the raw materials not in
digenOus to our soil, which we now only
obtain with difficulty from foreign source,. =
The Land Of the Blacks seems to give fair
promise of realizing such hopes, and,in many
respects, may be not insptly compared t.
the British possessions in India.

Handle with care;
Fashioned 30 slenderly,

Look at those number twelves,
A sight in tn mselves!
Made from two x-hides, the truth must tell;
Made for young girl, Chicago belle.
How were h r fathers feet?
How were her mothers
How were her sisters feet?
How were her brothers,?
What Had this maiden done
That she should merit Il?
Was 1t a judgment,
or did she inherit II?
Alas! for the rarity Of Christian charity,
Scarcer than pearls!
And o 1t is pitiful to see a whole city full
