The Rocky Mountains Pierced

The Mu'lan turnel through the main range
Of the Rockies was pierced on the 18th inst.
Engineer j. T. Dodge, of the Rocky Noun
tain division, made the passage through the
mountain. TIE record shows that forty
five miles Of main line remain to be COM
peted. The Rocky Mountain division was
completed recently. except the Mullan tun-
nel which, however, has been snrpasse by
an overhead line for transferring use. The
work for final completion has been 80 ad.
jllsted preparatory to the celebration OF
the laying Of the last rail, that il will all be
put down in exactly fourteen days more.
The exact distance yet to span
was forty-ti five miles and fraction. On the
18th inst, the last rail will be laid on the
Yellowstone National Park line, at point
fifty and o quarter miles from Livingston
and five miles and three-guarters from the
park on the northern boundary The line
will not be built further at this time, owing
to possession having been secured of the
ground where the Gardner pos,ofiice has
been located by some reckless speculators
and dram sellers, hoping to reap an unholy
harvest. The railroad company therefore
stops short of them. A large hotel has been
bnilt at the former point, which al this
date or by the 18th inst. will be ready for
guests.

Telegraph or Telephone,

Despite the fact that recent expert
ments have demonstrated the possibility
OF telephoning over long circuits, it is
10 be doubted if the instrument will be
used otherwise than locally. 1t is too
sensitive to induction. to atmospheric
electricity, and to grounds for circuits ex-
ceeding a few miles in length. The ex-
periments have been tried under the
best not under the worst conditions, and
through complete metallic circuit -
in other words, a double line. 1t is
hardly possible for the telegraph bust
ness of two large cities to be conducted
by telephone by the senders Of messages
themselves, for five hundred wires
might not suffice to prevent block in
busy hours, and merchants could not

TIE COLOR LINE IN SCHOOLS.

(From TIE y. \. Herald }
The question whether the education of
white and colored children in separate
schools is violation Of the fourteenth
amendment to the federal constitution was
argued the other day before the court of ap.
peals of this state. The case was one from
Brooklyn, in which a parent complained
because his daughter had been refused al
mission TO school attended by white girls
1t was not claimed that suitable schools are
not provided for colored children, nor that
such schools are in any way inferior to those
maintained tor white children. In fact it
was shown that the colored was more CON
venient than the white school to the com
planning pupil in the case.
Judge Nelson held that there was no de-
NAL of equal rights nor any unjust discrim.
instion on account OF color, and dismissed
the complaint. He was sustained by the
general term of the city court, from whose
decision an appeal was taken to the court
ofappeals.
1t would doubtless be held violation of
the fourteenth amendment if state or a
local board of education, by authority OF
the state, should deny to the colored race
the privileges of common school educa
ton by excluding them from the schools
maintained for whites, without providing
separate schools as good as those establish
ed for white persons are open to them,
there is no denial of equal rights and no
discrimination on account of color, such as
is prohibited by the fourteenth amendment.
Both the letter and spirit of that amend
ment are met when equal educational facil
tiles are extended to white and black chill.
dren, and tins can be done as well by sep
arate as by mixed schools. This fact is
generally recognized by the coored people,
the most sensible of whom prefer TO have
their children educated In separate schools.

The Ridiculously Solemn Mexican Dance.

| entered at 10 o'clock p, IN. hall in
large old house in town in Mexico,
and took u seat on one Of the many
chairs that were ranged round the room
with their backs to the wall. The hall
was spacious, and few people had yet
arrived In one corner of the hall sat
q man before a small round table. on
which were placed small plates full OF
almonds and raisins. Some ladies were
seated at the other end of the room, at
tentively catching this man and the en-
trance door by turns, Their curiosity
was soon relieved, for one by one the
crowd poured in, and each one took his
or her seat on one of the chairs against
the wall. The aspect of the whole thing
was rdiculously solemn. Suddenly one
young man, less bashful than the rest,
walked up to one of the almond and
acknowledging ladies and began to
dance with her Others followed his
example, and to the slowest-timed waltz
lever have seen, gloomily moved here
and there through the room. They had
come there for pleasure, for business;
but what pleasure these young men and
girls found in moving about the room
so slowly and sedately | shall, fear,
never be able to find out. As each cav
alier led his partner to her seat he would
look at the almond and rasin President
and very gravely nod; then his "ben
aimee being seated, he would purchase
plateful of these delicacics and always
In the same grave manner present them
to her She would place them in her
pocket-handkerchicf and wait for the
next beau. As far as could make out,
the game seemed to be who would get
the most almonds and raisins, and
shrewdly suspect that the fruits were re-
turned TO the President, and each plato
full represented certain amount OF
money for the danseuse. ---GdlveSton
