The English Mile.

M. Faye has explained why it takes
sixty-nine and half English miles to
make d gree instead of sixty. rs was
probably intended when the mile was
establ shed. The English geographers
ded ced their mile rom Ptolemy, and
Ptolemy refers to Eratosthenes. Era
tosthenes measured the arc OF the mer
idian on the basis of the distance be-
tween Syenne and Ale andria, in
Egypt, which gave 700 stadia to the
degree. Ptolemy says that he verified
the measurements of kratosthenes and
found the same re suit, which he gives.
however, as so stadIa to the degree.
Th discrepancy arises fr M change
which took place in the st ndard of the
toot--of which 6UU went to the stadium
during the 400 years betw en- Eratos-
themes and Ptolemy. Erato>thenes used
the an lent Egyptian foot. which is
shorter than ours. while 1T, lemy used
the Phileterian foot, which is .onger
than ours. Making allowance for tn s
difference, the two measurements
agree. The English geographers, in
making their calculation, bel eyed that
Ptolemy had used still another foot. the
Greek foot, which IS one and half hun
dredths longer than ours, but shorter
than the one he did actually use. If
the English geographers of the sixteenth
century had strained tn valuat on ever
SO little. and h d carried it to five one
hundredths, they would have found $50
English feet for the stadium, which they
believed to be 600 Greek feet. and these
$50 feet. or 21O Yards, multiplied by 500,
would give them los. yards for the
degree and exactly 1,760 yards for the
mile.-N. T. H. raid.

Gin Fatal Error"

NcU fOrk CnrtSttdn Union.
The national prohibition party appears
to us to be in fatal error upon one funda-
mental point. DE Tocqueville has shown
very clearly that our national liberty is
built upon local f-government, and de-
ponds upon its preservation. France has
never been truly free. because it has
never recognized this principle Any
thing which threatens this principle
threatens tho very foundations of
the nation. Tho regulation, restraint,
or suppression of tho liquor traffic
is left to the people in their various
states and localities, not merely by writ
ten constitution which can be amended,
but by the very nature of national organ
ism, which cannot be altered without con-
verting our American republic into a
Roman imperium. To allow the people of
Maine to impose prohibition OH the people
of Texas would be to subvert the very
foundation of our national life, and de-
stroy in its lnnermost citadel our nation al
liberty. We should have to reconstruct
the union of states into centralized en-
pire We could never, in fact, secure
practical prohibition by any such means
II we could, tho cost would be too great
for the gain.

A Speed Recorder.

IEDWtcoWC aye.
1t is proposed by German inventor to
register the speed of trains while passing
over bridges. According to this novel
arrangement there is fixed ut each end of
the bridge pedal, placed against the rail
so as to be depressed by each wheel of the
train passing over the spot; each depres-
sion of the pedal makes contact in an
electromagnetic circuit, which, in part
two, acts on needles placed against
cylinder situated at q convenient dis
lance. This cylinder is made to re-
volve by clockwork, at uni
form speed, and is covered with sheet
of paper. While no wheels pass the
pedals on the bridge, tho needles mark
straight lines parallel on the revolving
paper sheet, but if contact is made as
above mentioned, the respective needles
are momentarily DETECTED and mark the
instant at which the wheel passes the
pedal in connection on the bridge Now,
the distance apart of the pedals ut each
end Of the bridge being known, as also
the rate at which the registering cylinder
revolves, the speed Of tho passing train
can be deduced by simple measurement
of the distance apart Of the traces made
by the marking needle.

AN ALASKA ROMANCE.
The Ravngos Caused by the Fatal
beauty OF Russian Belle In sitka.


Correspondence san Frdnci8co Chronicle.
The captain and lieutenant of one Of
the companies stationed ut Sitka in the
first year of tho United States possession
fell desperately in love with tho same beau
tiful Russian. She was q most charming
woman, with soft, mysterious eyes, pale
delicate face, and slow, dreamy smile
that set the two warriors wild. All the
garrison knew Of their fierce rivalry, so
marveled not little when their old
friendship appeared to be restored, and
the two suitors started of on hunting
expedition together. One haggard man
returned two days later aud told that h is
companion had been attacked and gored
to death by an outraged buck in the forest /.
He was gloomy and strange In his manner,
and at nightfall went TO the house of the
Russian lady to break tho news of his
rivals death.
The friends Of tho lost officer talked
the thing over, and suspecting that duel
had been fought decided to 20 out next
day and search for the body. In the
morning the surviving rival was found
dead in bed with look of agony and
horror on his face. One story was that his
victim had appeared to him, and he had
died OF fright ana terror; the other was
that some unknown and subtle poison
had been administered to him In cup Of
tea, and the official report ascribed his
death to heart disease. The body Of the
lost rival was found at the foot OF
q steep bank on tho shore Of Indian
river, where tangle of ferns
bushes, and grasses shaded and almost COW
cred the clear still pond In which he lay.
His rifle lay near him, and a bullet hole in
the heart told the sadItruth that his friend.
had suspected. His death was officially at.
tributed to the accidental discharge Of his
own rifle while hunting, and under these
two verdicts the real truths were con.
coalod. The family of the Russian beauty
disappeared from Sitka In few months
and the story had been half forgotten
until the recent opening Of path along
Indian river revealed 1t to some who lived
here at the time.

GEORGETOWN STATION,
DYSPEPSIA.

Sedentary habits, mental worry, nervous
excitement, excess or imprudence in eat
ing or drinking, and various other causes,
induce Constipation followed by general
arrangement of the liver, kidneys, and
stomach, in which the disorder Of each
organ increases the intirmity of the others.
The immediate results are Loss of Appe-
lite, Nausea, Foul Breath, Heartburn, Flat
ulence, Dizziness, Sick Headaches, failure
of physical and mental vigor, distressing
sense Of weight and fullness in the stomach,
and increased Costiveness, all of which IRE
known under one head as Dyspepsia.
meyery instance where this disease does
not originate from scrofulous faint In the
blood, AYERS PILLS may be confidently
relied upon to effect cure. Those cases
not amenable to the curative influence OF
AYERS PILLS alone will certainly yield IL
the PILLS are aided by the powerful blood
purifying properties Of AYERS SARaAPA-
