St. Paul. on the Mississippi by means of a

has better prospects than this one. For nearly
all the waytt passes through a country Of varied

pasture, and well wateFed. Already, she towns
along it's route are booming under it's influence.
The most striking feature of the building of this
road is the growth of cities which it makes ter
mini, and towns the lines. The popula-
of ST. Paul, in 1880, was lab, now it is over
90 600. Portland, the present Western terminus
of the road has made like rapid progress in
the asst two years. Its population, which was
less than $4,000 in 1880, is now popularity
stated at 100000 and its business and capital
has fully kept pace with this increase in pOpua-
tiOn. The same reports of progress come from
towns on the Sound and in the far Interior
Seattle and Tacoma, Umatilla, Walla Walla, The

Will resign is denied point blank by
the executive committee of the board of d.
rectOrs, who reside in Boston. To-day the 5eney

is stated will furnish $500, to help place the
road in better condition. President Phillips
still writes encouraging letters East He places
the earnings of June at 100000. He further
states that the July earnings Will reach $780,
900, and he does mot expect the earnings to again
fall below 100000 per month, figure which
they have never before reached. There are now
103 locomotives on the road, and eight more to
arrive. All the net earnings are being expended
in ballasting and other improvements; but if the
road were complete in its improvements IL
could make a net earnings exhibit. The gross
earnings should now show regular gains of &c.
600 to SIS, 900 month. The property is now
out of the woods and President Phillips says he
can now see a prosperous future.

The remains Of a huge mastodon were
found on Tuesday afternoon by diggers
in Eaton's gravel pit about eight miles
east of Syracuse, N. Y. The larger part
of one tusk and tooth were the first
objects dug ont from a place thirteen
feet below the surface Of the earth. They
were examined by Professor Brown, OF
Syracuse University, and Professor
John +. Boyton, OF Syracuse, both well
known scientists, and pronounced a great
discovery. BY calculation from the
parts already discovered, Prof. Brown
regards it as the largest mammoth ever
exhumed in this country. A force of
men is now digging for more remains,
under the directions of &. w. Weed,
who made the first discovery.

CAIRO, July 2O.-There were lac

ALEXANDER, July 2O.-Twenty-nine
deaths from cholera occurred yesterday
at Mansourab, "a at Samanoud, % al
GhiZeh, "A at Chirbin, and 3 at Dami.
eta. There were Ii deaths from the
disease at Menzaleh on Tuesday.
HORRORS OF THE SITUATION IN CAIRO.
LONDON, July 20-The Standard s
correspondent at Cairo says that unless
the English authorities promptly take
the direction Of affairs the checking of
the spread of cholera will be hopeless.
Even the simplest sanitary arrange
ments are neglected. The funeral sys-
TEN is most obnoxious. The cCrpses,
encased in very slight cotiins, are car
ried through the crowded streets on
mems shoulders. The clothes of persons
dying in the hospital are often stripped
off and taken for wearing purposes by
relatives.
While man stricken with cholera
was on his way yesterday in a cart to
the hospital, the driver stopped Oppo-
site a cafe and gave the invalid a drink
from water bottle used by customers
of the place. A few minutes after
wards the sick man died opposite the
largest cafe in Cairo. The only pre-
caution taken in this case was to
sprinkle a little chloride Of lime on
the corpse. The cart then pursued its
Way,
