Parliamentary paper issued last month shows that in 1858 the railroad debt of Great Britain was in round numbers 839 millions in 1866, after Gladstones Chancellorship, S15 millions in 1869, after Disraeli's Chancel lorship, sO3 millions; in 1874, after minis terial alterations of these leaders, TSP mil lions; in 1876, TYP millions, while last year the debt stood at about 763 millions-a re- duction in our figures of $3sO, ,oOO, ,oOO dur ing quarter century. However, $55, 1000, o0e worth of this debt is represented by the ownership of the telegraph monopoly, $1OO,- 100000 of it by Suez Canal shares and $14O,- 100000 by ''loans recoverable'' against pub lie bodies. If what are called ''terminable annuities' be also carried to credit account, the actual debt burden will be, according to the Parliamentary paper in question, about $3 .59O,OOO, 900, very respectable sum.

 Sir John Lubbock has lately given an &C., count of some fresh experiments with refer ence to the power of hearing in bees A musical box was placed on his lawn and the bees were trained to como for honey laid on the box. The box was kept going for several hours day during two weeks, and then it was brought into tho house and put out of sight, but at the open window few yards from where it had been before. The bees. however, did not find the honey till it was shown them. Experiments with a
 microscope were without result. These ! attempts and their issue bear upon the pop
 ular theory that, when swarming, bees are 1 influenced by changing on kettles, and simi- lar sounds. Sir John also reports his tim | ing the work of 8 wasp and bee. The
 "busy bee' was outdone by the wasp in one l regard the wasp began work earlier and ! left off later than the bee The wasp in aues- 1 tion began work at four a. m. and stopped at about eight in the evening.

A Patent Medicine Paradise.
IEHom thu DafHoit Erna proaa

If the negros of the south could read
there would be such demand for patent
medicine, po1us plasters, pills and ston-
ach bitters as would force every manu-
facturer to double his help and capacity.
The negro is always ailing. No matter
how healthy he looks or. how strong he
seems, he believes himself afflicted. If
he could read almanacs and circulars he
would think so twice as strongly.
A Dalton, Ga, I saw bigfellow pick
up barrel of flour as easily as I could
have lifted twenty-five pound sack, and
when I complimented him on his strength
he replied:
"Yes, boss, I seems powerful strong,
but you doan' know what a hard time /
has Of. lie got iber complaint, dispep-
sia and consumpshun, an I reckon I
won't neber see snow fly agin.'
I asked him what remedies he had
been using, and he replied that he had
been taking the dust of burnt leather
and mixing it with cold tea. Nothing
whatever allied him, but if he could have
got hold of ten dollars he would have
used eight of it in buying medicines.

when q man came in with bottle of

colored men employed about the stable,
who hadn't lost day for years and who
looked as rugged as mountain, looked
at the bottle three or four times and
then asked:
"What ye got dar, Kurnel?"
Something for apoplexy," was the
reply.
"Would ye mind givin' me sip Of it,
kase my apoplexy has been takin' on

OCTOBER.
BY HELEN FIsKr JACKSON,

o suns and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers Of June together,
Te cannot rival for one hour
Catnber's bright blue weather..
When loud the bumblebec makes haste,
Belated, thriftese vagrant;
And golden-rod is dying fast;
And lanes with grapes are fragrant;
When gentians roll their fringes tight
To save them for the morning,
And chestnuts fall from satin burrs
Without sound of warming;
When on the ground the apples lie
In piles, like jewels shining
And redder still on old stone walls
Arc leaves Of woodbine twsning;
When all the lovely waystde things
Their white-winged seeds are sowing,
And in the fields, still green and fair,
Late after-maths ure growing;
When springs run low, and on the brooks,
In idle golden freighting,
Bright leaves sink noiseless in the hush
OF woods for winter waiting;
When comrades seek sweet country haunts,
BY twos and twos together,
And count like misc 6, hour by hour,
October's bright blue weather.
Q suns and skies and flowers of June,
Count all your boasts together,
Love loveth best of all the year
October's bright blue weather.

Among the dishes served were plovers,
dough birds, Spanish mackerel, soft
crabs, and turbot (kingof the sea), but
the daintiest tidbit was humming birds
in q nut she'll When luxury was at its
height in the Roman Empire, the rare
dish was huge turkey or goose filed
with some smaller bird, which was again
stuffed with still smaller member Of the
feathered tribe, and so on till last of all
some very small and dainty game bird
constituted the 6 inner mystery y of the
whole dish. Modern culinary art has not
yet attempted to reproduce these won-
derful dishes, yet there is no doubt that
q modern French course dinner is far
more appetizing than any of the feasts of
the Greeks or Romans. Humming birds
in 9 nut shell, are no doubt nice, but are
not likely to be q very popular dish.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

A Washington dispatch of May
7th, says: Senator Blair, during the
course of his examination on Sat
urday, said, concerning the Monroe
Doctrine as applicable to Peru-Chi.-
can affairs: "Atter a certain policy
had been advocated in this country
for long series of years in regard
to South American countries, it seems
to me the proper thing to have been
done, when the opportunity was OF
forded US, without violating any OBJ
legation to any European country,
to have preserved peace between Pc
ru and Chill and made Peru a strong
commercial ally of the United States.
1t would have been well to have en-
braced the opportunity, as In that
way we would secure control of the
canal which now seems in fair way
to pass to the control of European
nations"

A REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

The friends of Capt. Matt Canavan
have gained control of the Storey
county Democratic Central Commit
tee. This may be regarded as a
Republican victory, for the Captain
will almost certainly carry the Sto.
rey county primaries. and going in
to the State Convention with thirty
delegates will receive the nomlna-
ton. His enemies. Democratic and
Republican, will concede to him, a
vast amount Of shrewdness and a
wonderful ability in the manage
ment of conventions composed of
delegates from the Democratic party.
He will make the effort of his life,
aud his previous successors under
somewhat similar but not nearly so
favorable circumstances justify the
belief that he will be able to use the
Storey county delegation to such
effect as to gain the nomination. If
he does succeed Nevada will elect
Republican Governor, for the time
has passed when Democrats could
be held in the ranks by the party
watchword. They realize that there
is no principle requiring them to
support man distasteful to them in
order that it may be asserted. They
realize that the parties are now held
together only by the name, and what
has been done, and a large number
will accept the nomination of can
didate whom they do not favor as
a valid excuse for leaving the party.
Captain Caravan is the choice of
minority of his party, and if he sue
.ceeds in the convention the greater
portion of the dissatisfied majority
will vote for the Republican nominee.
Therefore it may be said that his
having gained control OF the County
Central Committee which will give
him the primaries, can be regarded
as Republican victory.

THE Chinese bill has become
a part of the law of the land, and
the road is now open for further steps
in the same direction. The passage
of the bill refutes the ranting poll
ticians statement that this country is
free to all; it asserts the doctrine that
1t is the duty of America to provide
for the welfare of its own citizens,
and establishes a precedent for the
introduction of bill restricting
European immigration.

CONSISTENCY.

The Democrats say that President
Arthur was not consistent when he
s:gued the Chinese bill. The truth
is they feel injured, and are as mad
at him now that he has signed 1t as
as they pretended to be when he re-
fused to sign the first. 1t may be
that there is inconsistency somewhere
but probably the Inconsistency was
in the veto. At all events 1t is bet
ter to be right than consistent, and
the bill is now signed much to the
sorrow of the Inconsistent Democrats
who now can scarcely restrain ex
pressioas of disappointment

IMPROVING.

The crime lately perpetrated in
Ireland is evidence thst dynamite
preachersare losing influence, and that
the moral sense of the agitators is
undergoing change tending to the
development of manlier method OF
murder than that which has been
taught and practiced for many years
by the skirmishing fiend O'Donovan
Rosa and his associates. This time
the victims were made away with by
simple stab in the back and the
lives of no other parties we're en-
dangered. Too much credit cannot
be given to these advanced thinkers
of the Nihiistic community. If
they can meet with some encourage
ment it is possible that the step first
taken may prompt others when muir
der is contemplated to walk boldly
up to their victims and stab them in
front, and some may go so far us to
give their enemies chance to hight.
If the crime was the act OF Irish
agitators there is strong grounds for
the hope that the condition OF the
country will improve under the new
method of redressing grievances
which may possibly follow. That
the assassins ran some personal risk
from the fact that their victims might
have been armed, leaves serious
doubt as to their being of Rossa's
party, but those who feel friendly to
Ireland hope that this doubt Is un-
founded, and that better feeling is
taking the place of the dynamite
habit and that before long open
murders will be the practice instead
of secret assassinations. Some even
hope that the time may come when
the agita,ors will leave America in a
body to go over and fight battle
for the liberty about which they rant
and which if successful will relieve
the poor laborers and servant girls
of this country of heavy drain up
on their earnings.

which the dreadful cyclone seems to have
jumped. Trees were torn up by the
roots AID fence and all movable objects
were scattered in all directions. Some
houses were blown long distances from
their foundations. and church spires
were cut off like so many weeds. At
McAlister the cyclone had the appear
