RAILWAY TRAVEL,

The current number of the North
American Review has an interesting arti-
Gle on railway travel in the United
States, which sets forth much valuable
statistical information. The writer opens
wit the surprising statement that about
100000 persons are annually trans
- over the 100, 900 miles of railway
in this country. Probably very few have
heretofore supposed that each of our
fifty millions of inhabitants (of course
exclusive of train employes) averages
seven rides year on railroad trains. OF
disasters of all kinds TO trains in motion
there are about 1000 each year. Not
less than 10, 900 persons are annually in.
jured, more or less, and directly or indi-
rectly by the operation Of the railroad
system. Ofthis great number, however,
only about one-half are connected with
the railroads aspassengers or employees;
all the rest may be classed as 'trespass-
ers, whose injuries are received at cross
ings, by walking on the track, etc. OF
the former one-half, one-third are pas.

blood shed upon the cross. On this ac-
count the cup received the power Of CIV
ing everlasting life, and was called the
Grail-(from the Galilic word signifying
dish or vesseD. Joseph was said to have
been kept alive 40 years in prison by its
miraculous powers. fterthe destruction
of Jerusalem, Joseph was released from
prison by Titus, and, being commanded
by an angel, made receptacle for the
Grail, the guardianship of which was to
be entrusted to Titurel, the father of
Amfortas, French king, who built a
castle for the guardians of the Grail and
sanctuary for the hol cup itself. A
religious order called Templars was in
stituted, who were elected for their vir-
tues and were supported by the miracu-
lous powers of the holy vessel, which is
renewed every Good Friday by dove
that brought from heaven consecrated
wafer which it laid upon the stone. The
castle was surrounded by an extensive
forest through which no one could pass
unless led by the Grail. To pagans the
Grail was quite invisible, but to be.
levers His will could be read upon the
stone in writing, which disappeared
again. The knights of the Grail we're
selected by it, from all countries, for
their moral worth and purity, as their
names appeared upon the surface of the
Grail. Its first guardians had been
those angels who were neutral during
Iucifer's revolt against God.

A QUESTION OF INTEREST,

A question of interest has recently
been made more interesting to non-resi-
dent borrowers of money by decision
of Judge McCrary, of the United States
circuit court of New York. It has long
been the custom of capitalists in the
older states, where the rate of interest
is fixed at low rate by law, to seek in
vestments in the western states, where
money is more scarce and the rate of in
terest much higher. The legality of the
transaction has often been called in
question, and the plea of usury has
sometimes been set up to avoid pay
ment.
In tiis case, as stated by the Herald,
a citizen of New York lent money to a
citizen Of Nebraska when the legal rate
of interest was per cent. in the former
and 10 per cent. in the latter state. The
agreement was made in New York. The
loan was secured by mortgage on lands
in Nebraska. The bond and mortgage
were executed in Nebraska and then sent
to the lender in New York, where the
money lent was paid over. It was
agreed that the rate of interest was to be
10 per cent. The Nebraska man failed
to pay the interest, and when sued set
up the defense that the contract was void
under the New York statute limiting the
rate Of interest to per cent.
Upon the statement of these facts, the
opinion of Judge McCrary has just been
published. If the agreement was New
York contract, governed by the New
York statute, it was illegal, and could
not be enforced. If it was q Nebraska
contract, and governed by the Nebraska
law, it was valid. Judge McCrary holds
that it was the latter, and, therefore,
legal. He says:
Although certain preliminary negotiations
we're held in New York, yet the contract was
consummated, 50 far as Miller was concerned,
when hs executed tho bond, and executed, &C.
and recorded the mortgage in Ne
braska, and deposited them in the post Office,
directed to his brother in New York, to be by
him delivered to complainant. That is the
place where the signature was put to these
papers, which in fact completed the contract.
1t is said that the delivery was in New York
and that the contract was not consummated
until the papers we're delivered. But the
proofs show that the parties agreed that the
bond aud mortgage should be executed i'll Ne
braska. that the mortgage should be recorded
there, and that, after recording, the papers
should be sent to New York to the complainant.
Under these circumstances I think that de-
livery OF the mortgage to the recorder for
record was sufficient delivery to the grantee.
The court goes step further, and
holds that citizen of one state may lend
money to citizen Of another, and the
rate of interest be taken which is allowed
by law in the state where the mortgagor
resides. The decision is of great in
terest to large class of borrowers in
the west, as we'll as to their eastern
creditors.

A Muetacha Mar.

Some time ago the hotel-keepers of
Berlin made and carried out m agree
ment requiring all their walters to dis
pense with mustaches. A month ago
they held a meeting and resolved that
after October l the same restriction
should be imposed upon their house SER
wants. The latter promptly rebelled.
and in great excitement. inquired why
cooks should be excepted from the rule,
urging with much force that mustache
was at least as Objectionable in the
kitchen as anywhere else. This was too
much for the lofty dignity of the cooks,
and they unanimously resolved that
they would sooner sacrifice their posi-
tions than their mustaches. At last &C.
counts strike was impending and the
prospects of female cooks was corre-
spondingly bright.

Hans OutWitted.

It was a German who kept general
store down in Ohio when Ohio was on
the frontier. Among other things to be
had at his store was whisky. This he
sold at six cents drink. One day one
of these eccentric individuals who are
kept down only through lack of energy,
sauntered into the store and called for
six cents worth of crackers. The Tue
tonic proprietor went to the cracker barrel,
and thrusting in his arm brought forth
the required articles and placed them on
the table. The customer sat gazing at
them few moments and then said;
"Say, Hans, I b'lieve I'd rather 'av a
drink of whisky. I wish you'd give me
some whisky for these crackers. Yah,
I will do dot," said Hans obligingly, and
in moment the crackers were returned
to the barrel and drink of whisky was
placed in their stead on the table. The
queer customer drank it off with evident
satisfaction, and after lingering about q
little started to go out. "Shtop, mine
froind!" exclaimed Hans; "you hev moi
paid me for dot whisky!" "The whisky:

[From the Louisville Courier journal. ]

(From the Louisville Courier tournal.)
The process generally occupies a
couple of months, but can be done in
much shorter time when it is wished.
When the cotton is picked it is first
ginned on roller gin, and is then packed
in what is termed a sack, which holds
from 200 to 400 pounds. It is next card
ed, and carried to what is called the rail-
way head; through which it is run, and
then it is ready for the tcomber.' From
this it receives it's combing; much the
same as lady does her hair. From the
'comber' it is taken through the first
and second stages of drawing, producing
the fiber. It next goes through what is
called the 'shubber' machine, where it
is first twisted and wound on the hobbin.
It is then run through the first and
second intermediate machines, and then
to the fine wing frame, whence it goes
to the rlng-spinning frame. After this
process, the product is termed yarn. The
next process is to carry it to the 'cop
doubler,' which delivers two strands on
the bobbin, making two-cord thread,
then to three-ply DOUBLE producing
three cord thread, after which two
strands Of the three-cord are twisted to-
gether, forming the fine six-cord thread,
which is the stardard article. A skein
is then formed of thread, which is
bleached or colored as the case may be.
It is next taken to the spooling room, and
wound on large spools, and next to the
winder and put on small spools of 200
yards each, and after these spools have
passed through the ticketlng machine
they are ready for sale. The whole pro-
cess of making thread is q most ingeni-
GUS one, and now brought as near per-
fection as machinery can possibly be.
The manufacturers of this country en-
ploy 2, 400 people constantly, and good
wages are paid to those skilled in the use
of the machinery. There has probably
never been an industry in which such
rapid strides have been made as in the
manufacture of thread"
