Railroads..

A couple of important items, takel
; collectively, appeared in the papers las
week. 1t is generally known, We sup
pose, that the Richmond and Danville
r. r., with all Of its dozen ''leased'
Roads in Virginia and the Carolinas) and
Col. Bridgers system of Roads, known as
the "Atlantic Coast Line" last year
formed an Association, or Pool, and Col.
Adam Pope was made General Passenger
Agent for the entire concern, embracing
nearly every Railroad from Potomac to
the Gulf, except the John Robinson, or
Raleigh and Castor system. And now a
telegram from Washington announces that
the Richmond and Danville Roads have
all been taken out Of the Pool, and will
henceforth stand on their own bottom,
and try to cut the bottom out from under
the Coast Liners. And now the Fayette-
vile Examiner says:
The corps of civil engineers under
Col. Gardiner are now occupied in making
a permanent location of the short line
from the Pee Dee bridge in Marion coun-
tN, S. c., to Fayetteville. The work is
being c~arefully conducted and it is believed
that it will be the preliminary to actual
operations In the construction of the road
via Fayetteville to Wilson. The w. q
w. Railroad authorities are extremely
~reticent and make no pledges, but the
impression is gradually deepening that
they mean business"
What 'business?' Why, that by
building the shortcut from Wilson, or
Goldsboro, to Florence they can save 100
and a good deal of time, and thus
otfer greater attractions to the Florida
,ravel, amounting to $4,000 passengers,
% and fro! Besides the immense freight :
lge of early fruit and truck. The growth :
# the Truck gardening business around
charleston. Aiken, Augusta, and the :.
ports, has been enormous, during :.
hree years past. :
Out Of the above, however, the chief
'oint Of public interest for North Caro- :.
mans lies in the fact that the State will {.

Cannot Stand Civilization.

The population of Honolulu is 10000,
nearly half of whom is American, the
other half being made up of natives, of
Chinese and some English. OF the
merchants and commercial men a ma
jority are Americans, the balance are
English. There are also a few Chinese
merchants. The natives, when the mis-
sionaries first visited them, numbered
100000, but to-day there are not over
$4,000 natives on the island. Like all
Indians or aborigines, they cannot stand
civilization or progress. The descend
ants of the old missionaries fell in with
new modes of life. When the mission
aries first settled on the island they
brought up their children with puritanic
strictness, but other people coming in
among them, they were soon infused
with the spirit of enterprise and took up
grants of land and learned how to make
money. Most of the missionaries sent
their children to this country to acquire
an education, and they returned with
modern ideas. This, with the infusion
of the foreign element, has produced q
society in Honolulu, which is equal in
education and refinement to that of any
other city.-St. Louis Republican.

How People Die.

Miss Nightingale has pointed out how
constantly the mental state of the dy-
ing depends on their physical conditions.
AS rule, she tells us, in acute cases
interest in their own danger is rarely
felt. Indifference, excepting with re-
gard to bodily suffering, or to some du-
ty the dying man desires to perform, is
the far more usual state. But patients
who die of consumption very frequently
die in state of seraphic Joy and peace;
the countenance almost expresses rap
ture. Patients who diclof cholera, peri
tonitis, ETC., on the contrary often die in
q state approaching despair. In dysen-
terry, diarrhea, or fever, the patient
often dies in a state of Indifference
Those who have carefully examined the
dead on the battle field, or in the streets
after an eanexte, are struck with the fact
that while the expression on the faces
of those who have died by gnnshot
wounds Is one Of agony and distress, the
dead by sword have calmcr expression,
though their wounds often seem more
painful to the eye. A very careful OBJ
server, who was through the Indian
Mutiny, entirely confirms this. After
giving several instances. he says: "a
rapid death by steel is almost painless,
.6aber edge or point divides the nerves
SO quickly as to give little pain. a bull.

A Tough Witness.

During recent trial, it was thought
important by counsel to determine the
length of time that a certain quarter of
beef remained in an express-wagon in
front of plaintiffs store before it was
taken by the defendant. The witness
under examination was German,
whose knowledge of English was limit
ed; but he testified in a very plain,
straightforward way to having weighed
the meat, and to having afterward car
ried it out and put it into the wagon.
Then the following ensued:
estate to the jury how long it was
after you took the meat from the store
and put it in the wagon before it was
taken away"
':Now / shoost cand dell dat.
thinks bout dwelve feet. l say no near
er as dat"
"You don't understand me. How
long was it from the time the meat left
the store and was put into the wagon
before it was taken away by the de-
fendant?''
''Now I know not what you ak dat
for. Der wagon he was back up nit
dat sidewalk, and dat's shoost as long
as it was. You dell me how long der
sidewalk was. Den feet? Dwelve feet?
Den dells you how long it was.''
II don't want to find out how wide
the sidewalk was, but want to know
speaking very slowly, show lopg-this
-meat-was-in -the-wagon- before
-it-was- taken-away?'
20, dat! Veil. now, I not sold my
meat so. all time weigh him; never
measure meat, not yet. But l drinks

mems, how is dis. I dell you all can.

''Look here, I want to know how
long it was before the meat was taken
away after it was put in the wagon?''
'.Now you dry and get me in some
scrapes. Dat meat was shoost so long
in der wagon as he was in der shop.
OATS vot I told you. Dat meat vas

a Curious Pet.

In respectable native houses in Java,
q pet is made of curious little crea-
ture called the shooting fish. A small
stick is fastened in the reservoir con-
tanning the fish, projecting some two
feet above the level of the water, and
when it is to exhibit, large fly or other
insect is lightly fastened on this. The
fish swims round the stick once or twice
to examine the object; then, rising to
the surface, remains for few seconds
motionless, and suddenly elects few
drops OF water at its intended prey,
with noise not unlike that of squirt,
generally bringing the mark down with
the first shot. If this fails, however he
repeats his circuit of observation, pauses
again apparently to measure his dis
lance, and then discharges at the fly
once more. This curious pet is described
as seldom reaching ten inches in length,
and being of a yellowish color marked
with dark stripes.
