FACTS AND FIGURES.

The capacity Of the ice-houses
along the Hudson River is more than
1000, 900 tons.
The tonnage transported on all the
railroads in the United States in 1881
amounted TO 3j0,O00,000 tons, which
Poor's RaiirOad Manual estimates, at
the too low average OF $50 ton, would
be worth S1S, ,0O0,000.000.
1t is estimated that the South has
this season paid to the North S55, ,000,-
600 for wheat, $j0,000,000 for corn,
S72, 900, 600 for meats, and about $780,
0O0,00 for hay, butter, cheese, oats, ap-
pies, potatoes, etc. Chicago Times.
1t is pretty well settled that
healthy man who lives to be 70 years OF
age, in his life eats 1890 pounds OF
meat, u barrels Of flour, 1000 pounds
of butter, 9S7 dozen eggs, 800 pounds
OF cheese. 1853 bushels of potatoes, and

uct of these wells lights the cathedrals
of Europe, the mosques OF Asia. the pa

Africa's sunny SOL. Its exports are
over 1000, 900 gallons a day.-BoslCm

A LARGE. new clock has been con-
structed for the United States Signal
Service in Washington, d. G. The case
is made of brass, of sufficient height to
allow tho swing of the pendulum one
moter in length, which weighs about
three hundred pounds. The case is
made air tight, so that the air can be
exhausted from it and the clock move
ment runs in q vacuum, in order that
the variation caused by atmospheric
changes will be slightly felt. A very in
genious attachment has been affixed to
the movement, whereby the clock winds
itself as it runs, so as to overcome the
difficulty which might arise from the
difference in the power of the spring
when fully wound and when partly
spent. The way this is accomplished is
by alternately breaking and closing an
electric circuit, and using the motion
thus obtained, and the power of the
electricity in rewinding the spring by
means of worm end and other mechan-
ism, which is so graduated as to motion
that the winding keeps exact pace with
the running.

IN AN article on the death of Senator
Hill, of Georgia, the Cincinnati CONNER
cial (Republican) says:
His character is too widely understood
to require word of comment. His abili-
ties SHINE forth like stars from the night
Of contemporary mediocrity. Perhaps no
man OF his time could both speak and
write the English language with such
force and elegance as belonged to his
tongue and pen. More especially was lie
thorough orator. The worthy successor of
Webster, Of Clay, and Of Calhoun, his un-
timely death is not his loss-a Nations.
Above all, his loss will be most severely
felt by the Southern people, who recog-
nized in him fearless, unyielding pat
riot and statesman.
