National Cattle Trail.

The bill which is to be introduced in
Congress for the establishment of a
cattle trail from Texas to the British
possessions provides that the Secretary
OF the Interior shall appoint three COM
missioners to lay out and mark by
metes and bounds quarantined Ma
tional trail and grazing grounds. the
trail not to exceed six miles in width,
and to be narrowed at places TO mere
roadway, and the grazing grounds to
be established at intervals along the
trail, and not to exceed twelve miles
square. both trail and grazing grounds
to be strictly quarantined and no cattle
allowed to leave them SO long as there
are any signs of Texas fever among
them. When the commissioners make
their report the Secretary of the Interior
is to file a map of the trail as laid out,
and then to give public notice of its
establishment and the withdrawal of
public land occupied by it from either
sale, location, or settlement for the
term of ten years. Ten thousand doll
lars is appropriated for the work. When
this publication is made, the trail is to
be open at all times Of the year for the
driving upon it of any live stock by any
person, firm. or corporation

Faith in a chronological Chart.

He pays his dollar, or two IT three,
or five in dazed way, and with an en-
phatic feeling that he never got so much
for so little money before. His mind
dwells on that chart all the way home,
and the way he will surprise everybody
who thought they knew him and didn't.
For, be it known, that though he doubts
his own knowledge of himself and the
verdict of his father and mother and all
the neighbors, he never doubts phren-
ology nor the perfect honesty of its
apostle, whom he just patronized. He
will doubt that the earth doth move,
doubt that the stars are fire, doubt
truth and all the virtues, but he never
doubts that the man who filed out his
chart can read heads as clear as he can
read signs on lamp-posts. In years to
come he will look over that chart-it
will become habit to look over it and
talk about it and he will ever believe
in it. To be sure he travelled different
road from that which the chart said he
was adapted to illuminate; he has not
achieved the measure of greatness
which phrenology assured him he
should; but that does not shake his
faith in ks favorite science. Circum-
stances, not phrenology are to blame
for his falling short of his chart. In his
inmost soul, to his dying day, he be-
lieves in that awful map, that repre-
sents him as he would have been if he
had not been handicapped by fate

Forty-Six Generous Young Men.

A meeting of members of the Young
Mems Christian association was held in
Milwaukee, Jan. II, which was largely
attended. The supper was success
and very enjoyable in all particulars.
After supper a general discussion was
participated in, touching mainly upon
the great need of the association
building to be used as home for the
young people of the city. Earnest
words in regard to the matter were
spoken by many, and all parts of the
city and business interests were repre-
sented. Something more substantial
than words was needed to establish
such building, and when subscrip-
ton paper was passed, forty-six young
men had pledged the total amount of
81 ,032. There were young men pre-
sent who, while earning but 81 per day.
gave the sum of S25. Committees
were appointed which will push the
work. State Secretary Lewis was ten

services

Stronger Than Dynamite.

A man from an Eastern city, who9ias
devoted some time to the investigation
of the power and properties of explo-
sives, has come to the interior OF this
state, says a Huntingdon, Pa, dis
patch. to continue his experiments.
He found it necessary to retire to Sc
Guided spot, where his dangerous COM
pounds could be handled withoutiniury
to property. The place he selected is
known to few, and he desires that it
shall not be disclosed, so that he may
not be interrupted in the week or two
that he may remain. He desires also
that his name shall be withheld from
the public until he has fully tested a
new explosive that he claims to have
discovered. Various trials of its eff
fectiyencss have been made, all of
which, he states, have been entirely
satisfactory, and prove it to be more
destructive than dynamite. He says he
can furnish the Nihilists better ex-
plosiye than any they have yet had.
Three of the most important of these
trials were made last week.
First,a solid rock protruding from the
base of Tussey Mountain, of which
1870 cubic feet, estimated to weigh
eighty-five tons, were exposed, was
drilled to depth of six feet, more
than half its thickness. and a glass tube,
seven eighths of an inch in diameter and
ten inches long, filled with the explo-
siye, was introduced. The rest of the
operation was the same as in blasting
with dynamite, and the result was as
complete a breaking-up of the rock as
could possibly be accomplished Near
ly halfof the exposed part was broken
into fragments that a man can lift,
some of them being thrown great dis
lance.
Second, sound white-oak tree three
feet in diameter was perforated to the
heart at distance of eight feet from
its roots, and small glass bail con-
tanning the compound was inserted and
exploded. The body of the tree was
split into kindling-wood and the roots
were torn from the earth, and no two
of the limbs within thirty feet of the
ground remained together.
Third. a rifle was charged with pow
der and the ball was fired into pine
tree. penetrating it to the depth of two
and a half inches. The gun was then
charged with the new explosive and the
ball fired into the same tree, the pene-
tration being nearly five inches.
The substance is in liquid form when
made, but may be soliditied by mixing
it with another substance, which is it
self combustible and is entirely consum-
ed in the explosion. 1t can be broken
into small particles, or graduated. so
as to be in appearance like gunpowder.
As to its chemical composition, no in
formation can be obtained except that
suggested by its name, 1t is called
nitro-petrolene.

General Grant.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.--The Senate
to-day, with only nine dissenting votes,
passed the bill presented yesterday by
Senator Edmunds providing for the
placing of General Grant on the re-
tired list of the army with the rank held
by him when elected President of the
United States. Senators Maxey of
Texas, Jonas and Gibson of Louisiana.
George of Mississippi, and Jones of
Florida, spoke briefly in favor of the
bill. and paid neat tributes to the char
acter aud public services of General
Grant. The remarks of these gentle
men, as being Senators from States that
actively participated in the rebellion.
made very favorable impression.
Senator Voorhees, also made an earnest
and feeling speech in favor Of the bill.
Mr.. Cockrell spoke briefly against it,
basing his opposition on the belief that
the retired list should not be abused by
placing upon it men who had volun-
tarily retired from the army and were
now private citizens. Mr.. Edmunds
thought MIR. Cockrel's objection good
in ordinary cases. but this was an ex-
ceptional one.
The Senators voting in the negative
were Beck, CockrelI, Coke, Harris,
Pendleton. Salisbury, Slater, Vance
and Walker.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. l5.-There
is considerable inquiry here to-day as
regards the amount of salary Gen.
Grant will receive in case the house
concurs in the bill placing him on the
retired list, which passed the senate
yesterday. OF course, he will receive
the same salary as Gen. Sherman now
receives; but the difficulty is to ascer-
tain exactly how much Gen. Sherman
receives. Army officers, as a rule, con-
ceal the amount of their salary. Their
money is not appropriated direct, as
are the salaries paid civil employees. 1t
goes to them in parcels, so much for
salary, so much for length of service,
so much for rations. and in other ways
Gen. Sherman's salary amounts in all
to about Sl7, 800 per year, q little more
than double the amount received by the
cabinet officers or the justices of the
supreme court Gen Slocum, who has
charge of the Grant bill in the house, is
being urged TO move the senate bill as
substitute at the Democratic caucus
to be held tonight. Speaker Carlisle
says an order of business will be ar
ranged. 1t is understood that the
Grant bill will be one of the measures
to be considered, as will also various
pu lie building bills. The idea is to
pass all bills that are meritorious, and
as far rs possible to prevent antagonism
on the Democratic side of the house on
any measure.
