1t is rumored that the railroad COM
pany is going to erect large hotels and
bath houses at the hot springs near
Santa Rosalia. The reports as to the
efficacy of these waters in chronic dis
eases are conflicting, and by many it is
claimed that in the State of Durango,
at or near the line of this road, there
are much larger and superior springs,
and that will be the place for the
great curing resort of Mexico.
The track OF the Mexican Central

offered for some enterprising antigua
rian to organize an expedition to as
certain the locality of the ancient city
of Chihuahua. A rare collection OF
fossils are to be found buried in this
city. Some of these specimens are
to be found buried 10 this city. Some
of these specimens are said to date
100000 years before the railroad
came. The oldest and most complete
fossils belong to the genus land
lords" Large numbers of this class
can be found imbedded in the sand in
rooms that they want to rent to
Americans for as much per month as
they used to get per year. Should

the following report Of the speech of
Captain Il. h Stickley, of Woodstock.
Va, on the part of the visitors in re.
Spouse to the speech Of welcome:
THE speaker is an orator of much
power, and his effort was ornamented
with rhetorical passages relating to
the war which could hardly be con
sidered the natural outcome of this
occasion; but his expressions of hearty
submission to the results Of the war
and of his loyalty to the old flag
were unreserved and had the fullest
assent from his comrades Of the Fifth
Virginia present. After this, it was
not difficult for any Union soldier
to listen to his eulogy Of Lee and
Jackson, coupled, as it was, with
eulogies Of men fallen on the Union
side, the speaker frequently declaring
that those on both sides Of the war
should forgive, but not forget. His
conclusion was an expression of the
hope Of happy hereafter for soldiers,
both Of the blue and the gray, drawn
from the dying words Of StoneWall
Jackson, Let US cross over the river
and reat under the shade of the
trees"

THE Railway Age says that during
the first four months Of the present
year there we're 145O miles of main
track laid, against 23OO miles during
the corresponding period last year.
The decrease is owing to the cold
winter and backward spring Interior
ing with the work. Notwithstanding
this fact the mileage thus far this
season is greater than for the same
period of any previous yeat except
1882. The estimated railway building
for the year is 5000 miles.

HERE WAS A DILEMMA

If the fish quit sulking and start
down, and make q pull against the
solid surface of the rock, with the
aid of the current, the line could not
possibly stand the strain. The only
way the line could be loosened was by
the Colonel crossing the rapid current
above. This was
HAZARDOUS UNDERTAKING,
but what cares an old sportsman for
danger when such a grand prize is in
danger of escape2 He made a long
jump and landed on big round rock,
on the other side of which the water
rushed with a grand sweep. Across
this dangerous current he had to make
a ten foot jump, which he succeeded
in doing, but his feet slipped and he
fell sprawling on the rock. his arms
embracing it as he fell. He held on
thus for a minute. and after much
struggling he got on it and was soon in
wading water. To his infinite relief
the fish had not moved, but he soon
had him stirring again, and
DOWN HE STARTED.
He made for the bottom, less hale,
but the Colonel gave him the butt
and soon had the satisfaction Of
knowing that he was surrendering. He
sailed around and around, aud finally
the Colonel led him into a shallow
place and ran in and caught him by
the gills and /HUl NIf.
DRAGGED HIM UPON THE BEACH.
The Colonel contemplated thenoble
fish as he lay there moment, then he
gave a yell that might have startled
Mosphey, the neighboring town, The
Colonel slipped on his pantaloons, put
a big stick in the gills of the fish and
threw the latter across his back, the
tail dragging the ground. The Coloa
mel had on an old broadcloth coat and
the fish slimed it all over and mired
it, but what cared he for that2 His
wife scolded him, but he cared
neither for the coat or scold or occa
sion. The jack weighed twenty-seven
pounds. There is said to be one Of
this species in pond in France known
to be 400 years old. Vty0
