Progress of the Northern Pacific.

Owing to the great floods of the
spring of 1881, over thirty bridges
were carried away on the Missouri
Division of the Northern Pacific, AMI
track-laying did not begin until the
middle of May. This was late
start, but work has gone on steadily
ever since. Progress was necessarily
slow in the first part of the season in
consequence of the many bridges that
had to he constructed as the track
was extended. In the face of all
difficulties, however, the iron was
laid to within twenty miles of Miles
City when winter set in, and by the
2Slh of November the first train
reached that point of the road. The
winter months proved remarkably
favorable for prosecuting the work
of track laying and operations we're
pushed with steady energy. Nu-
merous side-tracks we've laid; long
bridges have been built; mile after
mile of the main track has been fin
ished; the Rosebud River has been
crossed; miles of heavy rock cutting
have been blasted out of the way and
the track extends rapidly westward.
On the last day of February, 1882
thirty-eieht miles west of Miles CITY
had received the iron. Ry the last
of May it is confidently expected that
the road will be finished to Big Horn
including the passage of the tunnel al
that place, ninety miles from Miles
City, and that Coulson, 2SS miles
from Gendive, viii be reached il
the month of June. The track lay.
ars are expected to knock at the gates
of Bozeman, Oh the eastern slope O.
the Rocky Mountains, by the first O
September. T4ere will then be ovel
1000 miles of completed road cas-
of the Rocky Mountains. On tn,
Pacific Slope the road was opened
last autumn to Pend d'Oreille Lake
It reached Rock River at the end o
March, a distance of 245 miles from
Wallula. 1t is expected that 20l
miles more o. track will be finished
by the Both of September. which vii
open continuous line eastward from
Puget Sound, over 100 miles il
length.
The winter of 1872 was very kline
to the Northern Pacific Railroad con
struction parties, and before snow
falls again there will be less than
gap of 800 miles to span between
Bozeman and Missoula.

Comet A 1882. according to Mr..
S. G. Chandler, of the Harvard Uni
versity. as reported in the Scientific
american, will come within a thou
sand miles of the sun, passing
through the corona and grazing the
philosophers. Mr.. Boss estimates
the distance at 1O, 1000, 900 miles, but
both observers agree in prophesying
a very near approach. Few instan-
ces are recorded of comets coming
so near the sun. A magnificent dis
play will take placs, unless astrono-
mers are much at fault, about the
middle of June. This visitor from
space was first discovered by Mr.. G..
S. Wells, of the Dudley Observatory,
Albany, on March 18, and from all
appearances it will attract great at
tention, and perhaps reveal some un-
expected secrets during the Summer
months. 1t seems to be a large
comet, and is approaching us at the
rate of about 1000 900 miles day.
PICKS Sun, which has very d.
rect method of approaching a sub
ject, in abiding to the sentence OF
Rev. George II. Austin to the Peni-
Tertiary five years for forging a note,
says: Worldly people will say that
this act bars the reverend gentleman
from heaven, but we do not look at
it in that light. He may yet repent
and be saved. If ali the murderers
that are hung are going right to
glory, and J esse James gets in on a
complimentary, we don't see why a
good, square minister, who only let
his foot slip once or twice, cant
make the rifle. People seem to be
down on ministers when they go
wrong"

4 PARIS letter to the New York
Graphic gives an interesting account
of scientific wonder which is now
engaging universal attention. A boy
about ten years of age, who at birth
was found to possess two dissimilar
eyes, one being unusually large and
fiat while the other was small and
round, has, since surgical operation
removing cataract from the larger
organ, been endowed with the re-
markable power of seeing objects dis
timely at great distances. His visual
PERCEPTION has now become so per.
feet that he can discern objects hith-
erto only revealed by the aid of the
telescope-the rings of Saturn, the
moons of Jupiter ana other wo nders
of the solar system. The other eye
has been found to be microscopic,
surprising the powers of the most
carefully adjusted instrument, ena-
bling him to see the spores and germs
of diseases. which though theoretical
~ held to DO certainly existent, had
never been proved to exist. 1t can
readily be imagined that a boy with
a Lick observatory, in his head
to say nothing of the micrometer,
will command the respect of the
wisest of Earth's savants, and that
they will do their best to make
the child real for them mysteries
which have hitherto been closed to
mortal vision, is in conformity with
the ever-onward and penetrating ma
ture of scientific research.

The Story OF n Great Discovery

There appeared not long since, in the Chi
cago Weekly Inter ocean, a remark able ar
tIcle with the above title, occupying nearly
five columns of that able journal 1t de-
scribes very clearly and with great particu-
larity the inception, development, and sue
cessful result Of an effort by thoroughly
educated and intelligent American physician
to discover an element, or combination Of
elements in nature which would, without a
resort to drug medication, cure diseases
through restoration Of weakened or ex-
hausted nerve and life forces to their normal
condition. The scientific aspect of the dis
covery Is so clearly explained in the article
that both the learned and unlearned can see
the basis of facts and legitimate deductions
upon which to rest. MANY of the practical
results already obtained through the use of
this new yitalizing substance, and in cases
OF the most desperate character, where all
remedies had failed and the most skillfu
physicians found themselves at fault, are
given IN the article, and its high value as a
health-restorer testified to by individuals
well and honorably known throughout the
country who have in their own persons
proved its wonderful healing power.
The paper referred TO is written calmly.
and presents the whole subject in way to
arrest attention and bring conviction to al
most any one who can reason from known
facts and natural laws, and weigh evidence
with impartiality. In order to give the ar
ticle still wider circulation than it obtained
through the source in which it first reached
the pablic, it has been printed in neat
pamphlet and will be mailed by STAgKEY &
PALES, ll09 Girard Street, Philadelphia.

The First Prayer in Congress.

The following letter from John Adams to
his " fe, giving all account Of the first PRAYER
offered in the Continental Congress, is con
tanned in the volume Of his letters recently
published by Hurd and Houghton, aud will
be read with special interest in these Cen
tennial times:
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 10, lI1i.
When the Congress first met, Mr.. Gushing
made motion that II should be opened with
PRAYER. 1t was opposed by Mr.. Jay of New
York, and Mr.. Rutledge Of South Carolina,
because We were so divided in religious sen
tlment some Episcopalian, some Quakers,
some Anabaptists, some Presbyterians some
Congrega egationalists and that We could not JON
in the same act Of worship. Mr. Samuel
Adams arose and said he was no bigot and
could hear a prayer from gentleman of
piety and virtue, who was at the same time
a friend to his country. He was stranger
in Philadelphia but had heard that Mr..
Duche tDushay they pronounce III deserved
that character, aud therefore he moved that
Mr.. Duche, an Episcopal clergyman, might
be desired to read prayers to the Congress
tomorrow morning. The motion was sec
Onueu, anu pdsseu IN tit dInFnatlNe. MI.
Randolph, our President, waited on Mr.
Duche, and received for answer that if his
health would permit he certainly would.
Accordingly, next morning, he appeared
with his clerk and in his pontifcals, and
read several prayers in the established form
and then read the Collect for the seventh day
of September. which was the 35th Psalm.
You must remember this was the next
morning after We heard the horrible rumor
Of the cannonade of Boston. | never saw a
greater effect upon an audience. 1t seemed
as if Heaven had ordained that Psalm to he
read on that morning.
After this, Mr.. Duche unexpected to ev-
erybody struck out into an extemporary
prayer, which filled the bosom of every man
present. | must confess | never heard a
better prayer, or one so well pronounced.
Episcopalian as he (Mr. Duche) is, Dr.
Cooper himself never prayed with such fer
yor, such ardor, such earnestness and pathos,
and in language so elegant and sublime.
For America, for the Congress, for the
Province of Massachusetts Bay, and espec-
ially the town of Boston. 1t had an excel
lent effect upon everybody here. | must beg
you to read that Psalm. If there was any
faith in the Sortes Biblicae, il would be
thought providential.

A Newly Married Couple,

A couple left the train at the Union De
pot and walked up Jefferson avenue yester-
day. She had long curls and pink dress
and a yellow sash, and he had standing
collar saving his ears off, button-hole bOu- :
quet and pair of new boots freshly creased
and one size too small. They hadn't walked
two blocks when they came to a man sitting
on a box in front of a store, and as he
caught sight of them a grin crept over his
face like molasses spreading out on a
shingle.
"Grinning at US, | 'spose ?" queried the
Young man, as he came TO a halt.

He took up the middle of the street like
a runaway horse, and the young man took
after him, but it was no use. After a race
Of block the man who grinned gained so
fast that the other stopped short and went
back to his girl and his hat. Stretching
forth his hand to the innocent maiden, he
remarked:

A Certificate Of Character for Boston.

"lt vas not so long ago. remarks Texas
SittIngs, THAT the average Yankee was re-
garded BY Texans as little better than an
emissary Of Satan. The Massachusetts
Yankee vas supposed to be a, vile and de-
spicable as ten ordinary Yankees. while the
Boston Yankee was piously believed to con
tain 80 per cent. more total depravity than
any other Kind of New Highlander All
these old notions have been tied up in
bundles and laid away, without any labels on
them, IN the garret, with the rest of the rub
bish of the war. IL is true that the
Massachusetts boys in blue were about the
first ones TO pollute the sacred soil Of Nir-
GINA with their presence, aud they could
also be found without much difficulty, on
most Of the battle fields OF the war but We
have also noticed since the war that when
there is any great disaster in the south by
pestilenee, or food, or fire, that those Bos-
ton people are the ones that go down into
their garments and bring forth large sums
of actual cash for the relief Of the sufferers.
That's the way they get even with us for not
buying any machinery of them previous to
the war. 1t is notable fact that, when
there is real distress at the south Boston
subscribes more money in less time than
half a dozen of our own Southern States.
as. for instance, at Memphis. Taking it
altogether, it hardly pays to poke fun at the
Hub. When il comes to intelligence, NOR
ality and public spirit Boston holds about as
good hand as there is in the deck.
