years to repair the wash aways occasioned by

good depots and accommodations. South
ward it is destined to connect with the Mexi-
can system, crossing the Rio Grande. North
ward it already crosses the Texas Pacific,
which when completed between Shreveport
and Monroe (the link connecting the Vicks-
burg road) will be through route from the
Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. This connect
ing link, If it had been built when it should
have been, would have put different aspect
than the present upon Shreveport, Mar

les upon the route which now are lacking in
vitality. Dallas is destined to be great rail-
road city, it being the objective point of
many roads. In fact, SO many roads are in
progress and in contemplation for the State
of Texas that the whole face of the country
will be materially changed in few years.

abundance of land d,-much of it good, much

England attended the exercises. The corner
called Anthony Hall, in honor of Mr.. An
thony of Providence, r. l., relative of Sem
ator Anthony, was laid. The large assembly
manifested the deepest interest in all the ex-
ercises. The performances of the students,
who are notably from among the people of
color in the vicinity, and who are intending
to be teachers and preachers in the South,
were of creditable character. The house
once occupied by John Brown was just in
sight.
It appears from report presented to q
committee of the Ophthalmological Society
of England that out of 19,0SS persons ex-
amined Cincluding boys in Eton, Westmins
ter and Christ's Hospital schools and s.,
600 policemen) for color blindness, the
sight of upward of $50 persons was found
defective. The average of defects was twelve
times as great in males as among females, or
4. 76 in the former and a in the latter. Among
women, also, any but slight cases are very
rare. Among men, on the contrary, they
form rather less than half of the entire num-
Der. Therefore, the pronounced cases are at
least 30 per cent, varying from this number
in Eton school and the professional class to
more than 3.5 in the Police and the poorer
schools of London. The main defect in most
of the pronounced cases, say in per cent.
of the whole number of males examined, is
an inability to distinguish red from green.
Red looks to those SO affected as very SOM
bre color, in all probability as some shade of
dark yellowish brown. Green is somewhat
similar to this. They see other colors cor
rectly, and by contrast very strongly. Jews
are found to be more color-blind than any
other nationality, and their defects are usu-
ally of the pronounced. kind The members of
le Society of Friends are rather more color
blind than the average, though the excess of
their defects is principally constituted by the |
slighter forms of color blindness. e., an |
inability to distinguish from each other the |
paler shades of most colors. Inmates of deaf |
and dumb asylums are very defective as re-
CARDS celors.

Thrilling Exhibition of Nerve by 8
House Painter i'm Cincinnati.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.l
Bernard Koehler and Fritz Hisgen, two
house painters, yesterday began painting the
large house at Belts street and Central ave-
nue. Three o'clock in the afternoon found
them close up under the caves of the house
and sixty five feet from the ground. They
had Just finished the surface within reach
and had started to lower the scaffold few
feet When the required distance had
been reached Hisgen called to his part
ner to hang on to the rope until he
(Hisgen) tied his own, when he would come
over and perform a like service for him.
Hisgen had just completed his own knot
when Koehler cried out: Come over
quick, 1 can't hold it'' Hisgen, as
quickly as possible, started across the
aerial bridge, but had not gone two steps
when he saw the man let go his hold, and
felt the ladder give way beneath his feet.
AS he began the fall, in the energy of des-
peration, he, with both hands, grasped the
almost smooth top of the fourth story win
dow cornice and there hung in the air,
distance of sixty feet from the pavement
He then gave an exhibition OF nerve
that terrified every one who saw it. Placing
the toe of one boot against the window frame
he gave his body slight pendulum motion
away from the house. second push gave
him better impetus, and as he swung on
the return toward the window he released
his hold and went crashing through the glass
safely to the floor OF the 1ourtn-sGory room,
from whence he Immediately looked
out through the aperture he had made
to see what had become of his companion
Koehler had not been quite SO fortunate. As
he went shooting through the air he caught
the hanging rope with both hands and less
ened his speed all the way down at the ex-
pense of all the cuticle of his palms, which
was burned off by the friction. He landed
in sitting posture on the sidewalk and was
taken to the hospital with pair of very sore
hips.

The report of the killed and injured on the
railroads in Ohio for the last thirteen years
is melancholy reading. The killed number
2, 538, of whom POI were passengers, Loaf
were employees, and 1890 were of those who
recklessly or otherwise got on the track in
front of locomotives. The total number of
wounded from the same causes is nearly 4, ,O00
It is shown that somebody has been killed or
injured for every eighteen hours of the thir-
teen years.
A discussion has been going on in Charles
ton, S. c., concerning the use of quinine as
a preventive of naalarial diseases, and many
professional men have taken part in it. But
one correspondent of the Neaos and Courier,
out of many. has urged injurious effects from
its use; all others have agreed that it is
safe and sure remedy against miasmatic dis
orders. The objector advanced the theory
that quinine. if effectual for the purposes of
prophylaxis, may by its insidious workings
do mischief ''at remote period from the
disease it is originally given to counteract !"
Reviewing all that has been, said the Nla1s
and Courier concludes that ''the weight of
testimony and example seems to support
the claims made for quinine as a steady,
trustworthy and effective preventive of ma
larial diseases

Judge Peck, associate Justice of Wy

there, if we may believe the paper. 1t is
said that he fined man for contempt for
putting on his hat as he was going out

tators all stand up when he pronounces
sentence on prisoner. This style is in
tolerable to the free Westerners, but
the friends Of the Judge assert that the
real reason Of his unpopularity is the fact
that he delivers temperance lectures and
teaches Sunday School.
