Mr.. Roberts, president OF the Penn
sylvania railroad company, in a speech
before the committee of the legislature
among other facts said that in no place
in the world were passengers carried so
cheap and with so much comfort as in
Pennsylvania, nor were freights any
where so low. In 1882 the local traffic
of the Pennsylvania railroad alone had
increased 2,500,000 tons, while the
through traffic had only increased ten
car loads. Mr.. Roberts said that the
Chicago limited was now run at bare
profit, and the only reason it was con-
tinued was that the Pennsylvania rail-
road desired to retain place in the
foremost ranks of the railroads Of the
world.

Ex-senator WINDOWS Washington
Residence.

A Sunday paper, calling attention to the
dinner given by Ex-senator and Mrs. Win
dom at their residence OH Massachusetts,
avenue, last Thursday evening, says:
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Window,
though not completely finished, is one of
the handsomest houses here. The dining
room is especially elegant, and larger than
those of other new houses. It is finished
with oak, the fire. place and high mantles
being in the Engl sh style Of the sixteenth
century-plain and massive. On the oppo-
site side of the room is an oak buffet, In q
stvle to harmonic with the mantel. The
room is filled with pleasant shaded
light coming in at the deep alcove windows
of stained glass. There is an utter absence
of ostentation and there is nothing to offend
good taste. The library is room not only
to be remembered for its details, but for its
charming impression given by warm-col-
ored and comfortable belongings. The
stairs are not seen from the main hall, but
are lplaced in recess where the stained
glass Iwindow above is a pretty surprise.
The drawing room is not yet fitted up, but
its possibilities are seen in its spacious
length, relieved by the deep, broad window
on the side.

The greatest sufferers by the floods of
the Ohio were Laurenceburg, Ind, and
Shawneetown, Ill. All agree that the
Shawneetown disaster surpasses every
thingelse in depthpt water and thorough
ness of destruction. Active relief meas
ures on the part of the state are in op-
Grafton. The great rise, when it struck
the Mississippi, spread desolation
through the valley. For distance of
forty-five miles from Hickman down,
the river has an average width of ten
miles, and the destruction wrought ty
this tremendous volume of water is in
calculable. Houses, stock and all kinds
of movable property are being swept
away, and several lives are reported
lost. Helena, Ark, as usual, is under
water, and many plantations are over
flowed. All along the lower Mississippi
fears are expressed of inundati on,
should the waters of the Missouri come
down early and join the vast volume
now moving towards the gulf.

an article detailing the work ofsplanting
certain portion of a large tract of land
in Iowa, under the direction of Mr.. Jesse
w. Fell, well known for his efforts in
tree planting and tree culture, at Nor
NAL, ILL.,, concludes the article with some
general remarks upon the effects of tree
planting on climate. from which we ex-
tract the following interesting reading
"With tract of land Of even a few
thousand acres thus planted and thus
'heltered by trees to check the trying
winds of both summer and winter, who
that has once seen and realized the ben.
efits of these wind-breaks will! doubt the
influence of trees upon the local climate
and their agency in producing and re-
tanning the humidity of the atmosphere
so essential to our crops and to our com
fort or that of our cattle? Let such plant.
ing become general, and who can say
that the climate OF a whole region may
not be measurub]y reclaimed from the
ariditythat has heretofore been fatal in
many seasons to vegetable Efe."
