DIX. T. Z ELY, a Fellow Of Columbia Col
legc, has, at the request Of the Hon. Andrew
White United States Minister to Germany, pre-
pared sketch OF the railway bistury OF the
Empire. The result is paper Of some fourteen
pages ontained in the volume of diplomatic
corrcspondence putting the facts co1icerning
tho Gsrman railway system IN 4 compact and
accessible form. Halfway building in Germany
begun in lsss5. general railroad la,x was passed
in l&s, which Is still in force. lis 1nain provis
ions are tbas summarized by the Ncw York
Erening Pet:
u All shares subscribed for must be paid in
full lii cash ana tho money applied to the work
before any borrowing can be to1lc. e. No loan
fyr construction purposes can be effected with
out tho consent Of the Government, which has
lfshed Tor the liquidation Of the debt. 81 ilui-
way tarifs must be conspIcuously published,
and no change which increases rates can 60 into
effect until six weeks utter publication aud no
tflscri1n1HAuon eau be made betwecn PERSONS.
III Nhen the profits or railway exceed 10 per
centum upon tho actual cost the tariff must he

thirty years after the opening Of any railway

The annual report recently issued by the
Silk Association Of America exhibits the most
gratifying progress in that industry. No
single circumstance indicates more poiutedly
the advance which the American silk manu-
facturcrs have been making than the fact
that the imports OF silk goods have actually
fallen off during the past year. There were
two yearS-1S76 and lS77--when the silk iln-
ports declined. but that was owing TO the
hard times. From that date, however, they
steadily increased, amounting i'll 1878 to SIS 2,-
GOO, GOO, and in 1879 to SIC, ,59G 500, the largest
figure ever reached. During the past year
foreign imports OF all silk goods fell Oif about
100000, and the decline in the importation OF
dress silks amounted to about $500, 900. The
decrease is not large in itself, but it is very
marked change as compared with the en0r-
nous increase OF importation during the two
previous years Of flush times. It cannot be
attributed to any retrenchmenr on the partof
the public, because money has never been
spent more freely than during the past
year. 1t means that the American m;lnufact-
lrers are acquiring the skill Of the French,
and ut the same time are beginning to COM
etc with the foreign manufacturers in
prices. This view of the case is further sus-
tained by the Increased importation Of raw
material. The raw silk imported in 1579-'S0
was valued at S1l, 74o, ,o43, and that Of 1SS0-:S1
at SIC, SIS, l67, Willie in the years 1576'!7-'7S
the Importation OF raw silk ranged from
81, ,000, 900 to Sc 0OD 600 only. American silk
manufacture is undoubtedly making great
progress. Paterson, n. j., is the Lyons of
tl,iscountry. There are 10a litns engaged in
manufacturing silk and seveity-seyen mills;
the capital invested is over Slo.ooo,00o, the
annual product over ST., 200, and the
wages paid over $4.00a.o00 per year. The
silk manufacturers are also making extended
experiments i'll Pennsylvania and Alabama
to introduce the culture Of the sllk-Wornl,
now grown mainly in Japan, and tho time
will probably come when the people of this
country will be independent Of France in the
production Of silk goods of every grade.

PosrM MAsrE!s{ E.NEnA. JAMES is renorted

An Enterprise COnsummated
By LahOripg Men.

From resolutions adopted by the
trustees of the Utah and Salt Lake
Canal Company, and published in
another column, it appears that the
Utah and Salt Lake Canal which is
on the west side of the River JOr-
dan, has nearly reached completion
and that the trustees realize the i'm
portance thereof. The water is to
be turned in on or about the first of
April next and the work of finish
ing up prosecuted with such vigor
as to ensure the bringing of the
water onto the bench by the 18th
day of April next. Nothing can
possibly hinder the final completion
thereof to the point of the west
mountain a distance of twenty
seven miles and we doubt not
that thousands of bushels of grain
will be irrigated from the canal
and raised this season.
We understand this canal is cal
culated to irrigate $4,000 acres and
in a few years will create and con-
stitute the largest and most impor-
tant farming and irrigation district
of the territory, the soil, as a rule,
being of the choicest quality.

The Stephens Murder Trial.
Special to the HERALD.)

Beaver, 2S.-All the witnesses
have been examined in the Stephens
case, and the opening argument was
made by Zera Snow, prosecutor.
The case will go to the jury about
noon tomorrow. Pollard was sworn
as a witness this afternoon, and
testified that he went to Gapevine
Springs on the 4th of July last in
company with Stephens. They met
Hilburn, who said he had got the
wrong check and could not get it
cashed, but would pay for the boots
when back in the Reef. Pollard
continued: told him that was too
thin. He all at once made a break
for me. l drew a pistol l carried,
knowing Hilburn to be a desperate
man. He grabbed for it, and in the
scuffie it was discharged. do not
know where the bullet went.
Stephens had made the boots for
Hilburn, and went security so that
Hilburn could get them, as he was
nearly barefoOted.

it with alcoholic 1OGSheS and plaster

unrivalled as a dressing fer the hair
