THE RIDE BY RAIL
| brief visit to Norway brings to view facts
not without some interest to the readers of
| the Journal. By rail it is three hundred and
| eighty English miles from Stockholm to
| Chrstiania. The road is well built, the
bridges generally OF iron, and the gauge is of
| the original Stephenson measurement, the
same commonly in use in Europe and Amer
lea. The passenger depots and freight hous-
es are substantial edifces, and well kept
The waiting and eating rooms are usually in
| the care of women attendants, and are models
of neatness. The available surroundings of
the principal stations are ornamented with
shrubbery, green sward. plants and flowers,
evidence of taste and love of the beautiful
| quite prevalent on this side of the ocean,
which may well be initiated in the great rail
road country Of the world west of the Allan
tie. The diversified and uneven character
fof the country and the abounding lakes
| through which this railroad passes. render the
cost of its building quite heavy, on an average
| about $4,000 per mile, where the value Of
labor Is not more than half what it is in the
| United States. 1t is owned and run by the
government. as are all the trunk lines in
| Sweden and Norway, thus safely preventing
| all discriminating rates of fare and freight.
| A ride of three hundred miles brings us to
| the Norwegian town of koDgsbiDger, where
passengers change cars for Christiania, and
| the Norwegian Customs Officials make the
| requisite examination Of baggage and the col
lection of the tax on dutiable articles. Al
though Sweden and Norway have the same
king, the two countries manage their ewn af-
| fairs separately and each has its distinct rev.
enue system and tariff officials. ride Of
eighty additional miles brings US to
CHRIsTIASIA
in which one is surprised to find town more
| like city of the United States than any other
| in Europe. 1t seems fresh and modern in
| its general aspects and tone. Its streets
have good breadth, and the cars on its tram
ways, the manner Of conducting them the dem
ocratic bearing oftfe passengers, and the gener-
al appearance of the people on the squares and
public avenues have many Tesemblances to an
American town. 1t has a fine location at the
head of beautiful ford bearing the same
name. and is surrounded on three sides by
slopes that rise gradually into hills, forming
a capacious basin, with attractive outlines.

stainer who had started in to SAM
pie all the liquors he should meet
In his unusual debauch. There is
something so out of the common in
the whole matter--so many things
that are sure to result In disaster
that one is simply spell-bound in
amazement. There is about it all
something Of the abandon and gar
ish ghastliness of a financial dance
Of death. 1t may be that the
United States can shoulder all
these vast projects at once and go
steadily forward without reverse.
But who believes it? Prodigious
quantities of perfectly worthless
securities are being floated In all
the "changes" and "bourses" of
the world, but the day of reckon
ing is certain to arrive, sooner or
later.
Few people on the Pacific Coast
feel like calling halt to this mad
ness, which promises to work bene-
fcIally to them, at least. On the
contrary they find it difficult to
withhold their admiration at such
marked evidences of present finan-
cial vitality and business energy.
We are happily SO situated that we
can dance to the piping of power
full capitalists, without having to
pay for the music. We cannot
help speculating as to when the
era of consolidation and common
sense will be ushered in, nor can
we forbear casting an oblique eye
at that superb scheme of railways
established by Harry Meiggs in
Peru which did not even pay for
the axle grease used upon the loco
motives. Yet it is a matter of his
tory and of poignant regret to
many poor devil, who has veri-
fed the old adage that o fool and
his money are soon parted, that
Harry Meiggs found plenty of con-
fiding men of means to pour shekels
into his Golfers, under the impres.
sion that they were investing their
monpV iuStaad of throwing IL
away. History is said to repeat
iteelf, and the fact that the railway
is a comparatively modern inven-
tion does not abate the force of the
aphOrism one whit.

In view of the adverse criticism
evoked by his late work, Mr.. Jeffer.
son Davis may sometimes have re-
called to his recollection the words
of the wise NAH of old, 10 that
mine enemy would write book.n
Certainly no judicious friend of the
ex President of the ex.Confederaoy
would have advised him to invite
animadversion during his life time
by rushing into print. The far
better plan would have been to
have reserved the publication of
his work until after his death. But
it is said that Mr.. Davis is a very
poor man, and he may have writ
ten at the wrong time to supply
the pressing needs of his purse.
Judge jeremiah S. Black, who has
been the terror of so many public
men during his day and genera
tion, has been able, through the
premature publication of Mr.. Da-
vis's work, to give the public cor
rect information as 10 a number of
public events as to which the ex-
President Is either mistaken or
which he has misrepresented. 1t
would be we'll for the country If
Judge Black would devote some OF
the leisure hours of his declining
years to describing the great
events, part of which he was and
all of which he saw, which attend
ed the opening of the war of the
Rebellion. AS Mr.. Buohanan's
Attorney General and Secretary Of
State, his opportunities for obser-
vation of the actions Of our. leading
public men were unrivaled. He
could give the country treatise Of
prime interest, if he would.

DENVER, COL, August 1Sth.-The
Republicans Santa Fe advices
from below are that the situation
is more serious than ever before rs
regards the outbreaks of the Mes
calero Apaches. The Indians in
small bands are raiding the coun-
try and it is utterly impossible for
the troops to come up with them.
Reports Of murders and depreda.
tions committed by them upon iso.
lated communities come in every
day and there is no telling the
amount of damage done or the
number Of lives lost since they
have been in the field. The supply
of troops is unequal to the emer-
gency. Gen. Hatch is in the field
notifying the people to arm and in
forming them of the movements of
the Indians. As far as known two
prospectors were killed by Indians
in the Florida mountains and a
numbe near the Guadalupe noun
tains. There Is the greatest appre-
hension all over the country, and
unless more troops are ordered to
the district there is no immediate
prospects for bettering the outlook.

LONDON, August 13th.-The Pail
Mail Gazette says: The situation is
serious-we might even say dan
gerous--but that it ia difficult to
credit the Peers with sufficient
folly to persist in precipitating
constitutional crisis. If they per-
sist in their resolute hostility, the
whole work of the session will be
sacrificed, Ireland will be convulsed
with civil war and agitation will
be started in favor of a revision of
the Constitution which will have
stronger consequences than they
probably imagine. Commenting
on the remarks that have been
published concerning the lack of
signs Of popular Indignation at the
