A Great Railroad scheme.
Winnemucca silver State.

A New Fork paper tells Of a great
railroad scheme which has been pro-
.jecfed. and in which several prominent
public men and wealthy citizens are
taking an interest. The proposed
railroad is to run through Texas and
Central America and the Isthmus Of
Panama to South America, ending in
Brazil. John w. Mackay, the bonan.
"a king Of Nevada, is to be President
of the company, and it is said that he
has promised to devote his best ener-
|gies, and large part Of his capital,
to building the road The project is
said to have been originated some
years ago, by Major John A. Lynch,
and then received the favorable con-
sideration Of Senator David Davis,
who gave tangible shape to the sug-
gestion, by introducing a resolution
in the Senate to hold convention at
Washington, in which representatives
from all the Central American Repub.
lies should be invited to participate,
for the purpose Of discussing the sub.
iect, and taking action by which sub
stantial and harmonious cooperation
could be had III building such an in
ternational railway. The resolution
was referred to the Committee on
Commerce, and was consigned to a
pigeon-hole, to remain neglected until
the end Of that congress. The rumor
that Mackay is interested in the pro-
j ct has not been verified, but it is
conceded that, in consequences Of his
great wealth, his active support will
go a long way toward insuring its
success.

a short time ago counsel for the
prosecution in the Guiteau case an
nounced the case closed for the Gov
eminent. This was unexpected by
counsel for desensc, who were taken
by surprise, as they had been shown
q long list Of witnesses, subpenaed by
the prosecution, who had not been ex-
amined Scoyille insisted on having
those witnesses put on the stand,
claiming that they had changed their
minds regarding the mental condition
OF Guiteau since they had been SUBJ
penaed. He argued that the District
Attorney was aware of this change,
and, knowing that the evidence would
be in favor Of defendant, excused them
from attendance, and decided not to
examine them. Scoville asked that all
witnesses on the list of the prosccu-
ton who had not been put on the
stand be summoned for the defense,
and examined in behalf Of the prisoner.
If this motion is denied by the Court,
it is expected TO influence the jury, on
whose minds counsel for defense will
cndeavor to impress the idea that the
witnesses excused believed Guiteau to
be insane.

An Inland Sea.

This was what John 9. Calhoun called
the Mississippi River when he was urg-
ing that it ought to be cared for in the
way of levees by the General Govern
ment. Had Calhoun lived till the
spring Of 1882 he would have found the
mississippi to be real inland sea, in
some places forty miles wide. 1t is all
over now, but such disaster should
never be permitted to occur again.
The General Government should see
to it that from the Gulf to Cairo such
levees should be built as would forever
confine the Mississippi to its natural
banks. An incalculable cost has fallen
upon the country because of this neg
lect by the General Government. Hun
dreds of lives have been lost, property
to the amount of thirty or forty millions
destroyed, and the land available for
cotton or other crops restricted by many
millions of acres. We are great, rich
country, but would be all the richer for
generous expenditure for public
works. Uncle Sam ought not only to
build levees, but he ought to connect
the Mississippi with Lake Michigan by
water, and enlarge the Erie to the di-
mansions of ship canal. The water
ways to the Gulf and the Atlantic would
then be q check to the extortions of the
railways.-FrOm De,horests Monthly

A Great Gould Mansion,

AS to Gould, by the way, there is q
new rumor afoat which seems rather
extravagant, yet may be worth mention
ing. The gist of it is that j. q. medi.
tates taking the shine off" Mr.. Van
derbilt by building a mansion on Fifth
avenue that will make the Vanderbilt
establishment an ordinary one by com
parison. do not credit the rumor,
but give it for what it may be worth.
Gould's idea is said to be to buy whole
block of ground, not simply front,
and build in the centre, SO that there
may be plenty of room around for gen.
eral effect. The Vanderbilt building
has no ground, but fills up the avenue
front, just as half dozen houses built
together might do, and though elabo-
rate and handsome, it makes but little
show. A little further up the avenue
there is whole block of vacant ground
that belongs to Robert Bonner, Gould
is said to have his eye on it as the right
place for such mansion rs he thinks
of building, one that would surpass ev-
erything yet attempted in New York.
Aho NaluO VI o1o Eiuo, Wubcu Itho paoh
to Madison avenue, is about 50, 500, 900,
and situable house, the laying out of
grounds, ETC., would probably cost ST.
100000 more. Mr.. Vanderbilt bought
four avenue lots in the same vicinity
few days ago for 100000 each, and it
is said that he intends to build on them
for his daughters. Mr.. Bonner may
not be willing to sell his valuable plot,
in which case Gould would have to go
further up the avenue, if he really has
the intention ascribed to him, as plot
large enough for his purpose could not
be found lower down. 1t may be that
he has nothing of the kind in view, but
at any rate he likes comfortable home,
and is not averse even, to little show.
His country seat back of the Hudson,
and just beyond Yonkers, is one of the
finest in the country. He does not
spend much of his time there, but it is a
good place for rest now and then, and
a good investment besides, us he
bought it low. Mr., Field has coun-
try seat in the same neighborhood, and
MIR. Tilden's is not very far from either.

Fine Wool Sheep.

The improvements of fine sheep in
the United States reflects the highest
need of praise that can be bestowed
upon those breeders who have brought
the best type of American Merinos to
their present degree of perfection In
the hands of some of our oldest, most
experienced and careful breeders, race
of Merinoes has been produced, which,
for weight of fleece, fineness of fiber,
constitutional vigor, and adaptation to
wide variety OF climates is unequaled.
We do not make this claim for Ameri-
can Merinos upon hearsay, or the naked
statements of any parties who may be
specially interested. The sheep speak
for themselves. 1t is not necessary
here to discuss the relative merits OF
different kinds of fine wool sheep, or
to open O controversy which, at one
time, was fierce and acrimonious as to
the source whence our best American
Merinoes were obtained. Suffice it
that the early importations were selec-
tons from some of the best focks of
fine wool sheep in Spain and France,
descended from different families of
Cabannas, (that is, the Paulers, Infan-
tados, and Negrettis), and representing
the highest results secured in
the sheep husbandry Of Spain.
Among the fine wool sheep which
have gained prominence from their
improved size, fneBess of wool and
weight Of fleece, the French Merinoes
stand deservedly high. They origina-
ted from a flock of 800 Spanish Meri-
nos selected with much care in 1856,
which were placed on a public farm at
Rambouillet, near Paris.-Prdirie

Earth'S Commissions,

Great earthquakes are reported from
Costa Rica, accompanied by unusual loss
of life. In one town many people have
been killed. The greatest and most de-
structive earthquake on record is that
of Lisbon the capital of Portugal, in
which it is estimated that 10000 per
sons lost their lives. 1t is an open
question among physicists as to what
is the cause of earthquakes. They are
known to occur most frequently in
countries where volcanic action is most
active. All who have experienced an
earthquake speak of it as a most awe
inspiring visitation. We are SO accus-
toned to regard the earth we tread up
on as solid and mistaken, that it seems
as if chaos had come again, when the
very ground under our feet reels and
totters and becomes as apparently I'M
stable as water or quicksilver. All
sence of security for the time being is
lost. Earthquakes and VOLCANOES are
frequent on the isthmus which con-
meets North and South America. I'm
doabtedly there is steady upheaval of
land from the sea, and the isthmus is
widening every decade, all because of
volcanic action.-From Demoresfs

Cure for Texas Fever.

Mr.. John II. Hoxie, who owns ono OF
the largest and finest farms in Texas
situatedin Williamson county, claims to
have discovered an antidote for Texas
or Spanish fever. For some years past
lie is reported to have sent large
number of thoroughbred Short-horn
and Hereford cattle to his furm for
breeding purposes, and claims since he
commenced the use of this remedy. he
has not lost single animal. The fol.
lowing is his own report of his work,
and he is reported Us in every respect
a reliable man:
II give each animal dose of bella
donna, upon the first appearance OF
fever. The fever usually comes about a
month after the stock reaches Texas,
but not unfrequently six weeks or even
two months, pass before they show
signs of desease.

fever regulating the size of the dose.
I have never needed to give more than
three doses oany animal and often one
is enough.
at should be given clear and not
mixed with any matter. Soon after
taking the dose, the animal will throw
up white froth which will be quite
warm, almost at fever heat in fact, but
no harm comes from that"
All interested in the matter of intro
ducing the best breed of cattle in all
parts of the country will be sincerely
glad to see this remedy firmly estab-
lished by full experiment, as sover-
eign one in all cases where cattle are
attacked by Spanish fever, or as pre-
ventive where cattle are becoming &C.
climated in Texas. The risk involved
is not SO great per head as where grown
animals are taken, and some parties
claim that young cattle get through the
acclimating process easier than those
of mature age do.

Montana Territory.

The Northern Pacific railroad is now
opened and running as far up the Vel
lowstone valley as the mouth of the
Little Rosebud, and the company ex,
poets to extend it two hundred miles
further west in tho coming summer
In addition to this the Utah Northern
railroad, branch of the Uxion Pacific,
will soon be opened to Helena. These
lines of transportation and travel will
lay open the rich valleys and richer
mineral treasures of coal, iron, copper,
silver and gold which are known to be
distributed through the mountains OF
that immense territory, and which have
hitherto not attracted much attention
on account of the difficulty of trans
porting to them the machinery which,
in this age, is necessary in order to
work mines profitably. Montana
stretches along the line of British
America nearly 500 miles, and has an
average width of over $50 miles. This
embraces a territory larger than all the
New England states; and though much
of it is mountainous, yet it is intersect-

the Missouri, the Yellowstone and their
tributaries, as well as of the upper
branches of the Columbia river. These
valleys are represented as being very
productive of small grain crops and
grass, but the summers are too cool to
ripen maize. These, and much of the
foot-hill, country, abound in the native
bunch grass" of the nutritious quail
ties of which wonderful stories are told.
Grazing has been the chief agricul
tural pursuit of Montana as yet, though
80 bushels of oats and 40 bushels OF
wheat are spoken of as average crops,
but the difficulty of transportation for
bids the raising of more grain than can
be used at home. But the railroads
will speedily change this.

Animal Combustion.

Within every living organism Their
are two opposing forces. The vita
force, which produces all the phenom
ena of life, holds the material element
in unstable relations-and it is antag
onized by the natural chemical affini
ties of the elements, which tends tt
break down the organic compounds ant
rearange the elements in more stable
form. This decomposition takes place
in some degree during the life of every
organism, and when life ends, or wher
the vital force ceases to act, it rapidly
destroys the structure.
The waste matter resulting from this
disintegration must be Immediately re-
moved from the body of the living ami
NAL, otherwise it clogs and pOisons the
system. The method of its accomplish
ment is one of the most admirable func.
tons of the animal economy. 10 re-
move the effete matter in the natural
liquid or solid state woald be very ex'
hausting; consequently it is burned,
and the gaseous products of its union
with oxygen are then easily carried
away. Literally speaking, this makes a
furnace of the body of every animal ;
and the most pressing and ceasaless de-
mand of the system is for oxygen to
support its fires. Respiration is hence
an absorbing and exerting process,
whereby oxygen is received and car
bonic acid and water removed. 1t thus
becomes measure of the amount of
combustion.
In the FLOODED" animals respi-
ration bears direct proportion to the
activity and the heat of the body, as
the former causes metamorphosis and
waste of tissue, and the later always
aids decomposition. The fact is one
of common observation. 1t is well
illustratedin the quickened breathing
of a tired animal, and in the almost
entire suspension in the alternating
state. The respiration of a cold
blooded" creature is increased by artiti-
cial heat. In extremely-hot weather
frogs may have to leave the water. en-
tirely, and fishes come to the surface to
procure air. Reversely, frogs can' be
kept for years in a state of suspended
animation by low temperature, and
revived by warming. Some low AMI
mails can survive freezing or drying for
an indefinite time; aud, under such
the waste of'the tissues
must be entirely suspended.-PopuIar

Our New Navy.

In the war of 1872 our militia did
not distinguish themselves in contests
with trained English soldiers; in fact
We we're beaten nearly everywhere on
land, and suffered the humiliation OF
the capture and the burning of our
capitol ay a mere handful of English
soldiers. But the navy of the United
States proved superior to that of Great
Britain. Our ships we're sNifter and
larger than those of the enemy, and
our guns were heavier. 1t is conceded
that In the next naval war, should one
happen, that nation will bear of the
prize which has the swiltest vessels
armed with the largest guns. The
great steamships now building in Eng
land, easily make 16 and IL knots an
hour, but the new vessels proposed IN
congress for our navy are not expected
70 make more than II or Is knots an
hour. The little republic of Chill,
