New Orleans Times Democrat: A movement is on foot among some of the railroad officials in the West to charge extra for all baggage taken over the roads, as is the custom in Europe, except in England, where the holders of first class tickets are not obliged to pay for their luggage. It is claimed that the present gener- al baggage system is an enormous expense in the matter of baggage cars, employees and other expenses incident to it's maintenance. It IS suggested that reduction could be made in the price of tickets in the case of those passengers without bag gage. The Cincinnati Gazette says
 It IS plain that this movement is intended as the beginning of a cru sade against the pocket-books of the travelling public, which is to be kept up until there are two rates, ono with and one without baggage.

M Veyand de Sainte Anne, a French engineer, has drawn plans for bridge across the English Chan. mel, and contends that thls mode Of intercommunicution between Eng land and France is greatly to be preferred over that of tunnel route. This enthusiastic designer shows that unless q bridge of this kind is bullt between Folkcstone and Cape Grinez that France will be utterly cut out of all the Eastern traffic, as the route by Flushing to Berlin, and thence to Odessa, is many days last CT than the present route via Mar, seilles. With the bridge built and railway routes from Paris establish ed on lne almost due east, avoid ing Lyons and almost every city south of the capital, is the only way NJ. de Sainte Anne thinks, thai France can hope to eclipse Germany Inn the straight neck and neck traili' race for Constantinople and tho East via Trieste.-N. o.

A Cincinnati Esculapian has acci- dentally discovered q drug that he thinks will turn a black or brown skin into q pure white one. For three years he has been treating q q dark mulatto woman for tumor, and during that time the color of the epidermis has been changed to a pure Caucasian white on more than one-half half her person, and two years more dosing with the drug will finish the job. He is now ex- perimenting on a negro boy who has a disease permitting the use of the same drug, and the white blotches are coming out on his skin as in the case of the female after she had com menced taking the drug. If tho doc tor is not mistaken he has found a specific for w!plng out the color line. Memphis Avalanche.

A movement is on foot in New York to abolish through passenger trains between Chicago and St. Louis and the eastern cities. It is estlma- ted by the railway officials who fav or the move, that each through line could save at least $50,000 by the discontinuance of through trains, It is also claimed that passengers would be benefited by changing into clean and well-aired cars at proml- nent points. Old people and inval- ids, of course, would suffer more or less by the change, and in order to remedy this, it is thought that one daily through train, with sleeping car, could be run for their accommo- dation, upon which higher rate of fare would be charged.

Without doubt, Mir. Keller is the most unfit Speaker the American House of Representatives ever has had.

We dislike to intimate that it is possible for an editor to lie, but the statement in Texas paper that a catfish, that weighed ITO pounds. was caught in the Brazos, justiiies the apprehension that, if the editor is not careful, he may, unknowingly, learn to exagerate, and then he will drift into politics or the pulpit. It is very difficult for q catfish to weigh ITO pounds. The catfish has no scales.--Texas SIftings.
