The Rail,ody Age points out one OF
the many difficulties of regulating
railway discrimination. 1t ksys:
One of the many perplexing d f6-
culties involved in the work of "reg-
ulating the railways" SO as to satisfy
everybody is suggested by the follow
ing resolutions adopted at q recent
Farmers Convention of Virginia
held ut Richmond
l. That the discrimination shown by steam
boat companies ana the railroads crossing the
State to deep water in favor of through freights
is direct blow to the success OF agricu't e
within her borders.
. That such discrimination is contrary to
those principles Of public policy upon which
their charters rest, and under which the Com
monwealth, in the exercise of its power. TOOK
private property for public uses.
3. That the farmers of Virginia at the COM
ing election for Delegates to the General Assem-
bly, are urged to select men pledged to right
this wrong, and to hold said Delegates to
strict accountability for their action in the
premises.
Here we have the railroad de-
nounced for carrying through freights
from the West cheaply. Ga the
other hand, when the farmers o.
Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska and
other Western States meet together,
thev clamor for Glow or rates 10 the
seaboard." Here are interests d's-
metrically opposed to each other.
Low through rates area ''direct blow
to agriculture" in Virginia and other
seaboard States high rates Arc ruin
ing the Western farmer, so he says.
how can State legislatures, each
animated only by local interests,
expect to settle this great problem to
the satisfaction of all?

There's "b!ood on the face Of the
moon" in a railroad sense down in
the Missouri Valley. President Ca
BILE, of the Rock Island, says if the
Northwestern doesn't obey the orders
of the tripartite arbitrators within
two weeks it will be declared ex-
PEELED, and the Union Pacific re-
quired to cease giving it business.
The North western declares it will
ignore the orders in question, push
it's Nebraska extension POO miles west
within sixty days. and become a com-
petiter for Union Pacific local busi-
ness as far west as Cheyenne, one
half the length Of the Union Pacific
line, if any such action as that thre at
ened by President Cable is taken.
The Northwestern further claims that
the business of the Union Pacific
between Omaha and Cheyenne is
three-fifths OF its whole traffic. The
Western Traffic Association doesn't
seem to pool.

Distress in England.
From the London Standard. |

The stories of distress in the large
manufacturing towns of the North are
heartrending Wives are dismantiing
their homes to raise few shillings on
articles of furniture; children are
shivering with cold and crying for
bread; while those who should provide
food for their families are lounging
about the streets bitter and discon-
tented Seeing the hundreds of men
who were searching vainly for work
Mr.. Pearse, of the firm of Elder & Co.,
most humanely offered to build q YES
sci of S. 600 tons, in order that the
unemployed might earn wages and the
distress be partially relieved. The
wages offered were those paid in 1879
The building of q vessel of 5000 tons
means, of course, the expenditure of
many thousands of pounds. Food,
warmth and comfort would be pro-
vided not only for the men, it must be
remembered, but for their starving
wives and children. The contrast
between the desolate homes as they
are and at they would be if
the hammers were blinking in
Nessrs. Elders yard can be imagined
by all who have seen anything of dis
tress. The boon to the poor of elias
gov would have been incalculable, and
doubtless in other towns the kindly
example OF Mr.. Pearse would have
been followed. But the rate of wages
offered did not quite please the boiler
makers and ironworkers' society,
some Of the representatives of which,
it may be suspected, did not live upon
the money which they earn by making
boilers or working on iron. Thou
sands Of wretched men, who dare not
take the work which was offered them
without the leave of these their mas
ters, must have have waited in hope
and fear for the society's answer. 1t
has come. The offer is not be accepted.
Men who are longing to work, women
and children who are pining for little
bread, are to continue to starve by
order of the boilermakers' and iron
workers. society.

in their power, and are numerically
taxed in consequence; while foreign
manufacturerers, who need not send
their goods over English railroads I'M
less they wish, are allured by Owrates
| and special favorS to do SO. Forum
| ately for the Englishmen the sea is
near them, and by transferring their
business to tie coast they can use q
| highway which is not subject to mo-
nopoIv, but the process OF transfer is
| costly. and before the interior OF the
country is quite deserted it may occur
to some director that a railway line
through an uninhabited country is
usually uprofitable, and that good
local business, built up by patient
courtesy and fairness, in a spirit OF
sympathy with the interests
and needs of the people who
inhabit the territory along the
line is far more remuneratlve to u
railroad than the greedy eXtortlon
which treats persons who nave the
misfortune to need the services OF the
road as so much prey, to be plundered
without mercy whenever they are
caught at a disadvantage.
To find an illustration of the opera
ton of the same law in this country,
we have only to open the annual re-
port of certain Massachusetts rail
road company which happens to lie
before us. The railroad owned by the
company is one hundred and forty
three miles long, but it connects with
other roads to form a continuous
route both between Boston and the
West, and towards the North and car
ries a considerable amount of freight
between the Mississippi valley and
the seaboard. In it's statement OF the
last years business of the road, the
report says that "the earnings from
local freight per ton per mile have
/ been three and fOrty-fOur One-hun-
dredths CENTS while the earnings per
ton per mile from freight to and from
other roads," have been seventy-elght
! hundredths of one cent; and the earn
ings on freight to and from points west
of the place where the roads connect
with the westward system have been
! six hundred and nine one-thOusandths
of one cent per ton per mile. TO put
it in another way, this railroad has,
through the year, charged all the man
ufacturers living on it's line and de-
pendent upon it for transportation,
nearly six times as much for carrying
their materials and goods as 1T has
their competitors a little west of them,
and four and a half times as much as
! the ones to the north.

A WONDERFUL CLOCK.
Probably The most wonderful time
piece ever heard of is clock described
by q Hindoo rajah as belonging to a
nat We princess of Upper India. In
front OF the clocks disk was a gong,
swung upon poles, and near it was a
pile OF artificial limbs The pile was
made up of the full number of parts
for twelve perfect bodies, but all lay
heaped together in seeming. When
ever the hands of the clock indicate
the hour of /, out of the pile crawled
Just the number of parts to form the
frame OF one man, part joining itself to
part with quick metallic click, and,
when completed, the figure sprang up,
seized small mallet, and, walking up
to the gong, struck one, the first hour.
When 2 O'Clock came, two men rose up
and did likewise; and so through all
the hours of the day, the number of
figures being the same as the number
of the hour, till at noon and midnight
the entire heap sprang up, and, march
ing to the gong, struck one after an
other, each his blow, making twelve in
all, and then fell to pieces again.
A WONDERFUL PIECE OF MECHANISM.
Berlin school contains at present
scientific novelty of particular at
tentlOn, namely, a monster movable
globe, made of copper, the work of a
blind clockmaker, on the construction
OF which the energetic man spent sew
enteen years of his life. The globe,
which represents the earth, turns on
It's own axis by means of mechanism.
An artificial moon moves round the
globe in twenty eight days and six
hours, while a movable metal band,
on which the hours are marked, indi-
Gates the mean time in the different
parts Of the earth. Round the upper
part of this immense globe, which
weighs q ton and a half, and whose
surface measures 1875 feet in diameter,
spins a railroad car capable of hold
ing six persons) which serves ogive a
better view of the regions of the North
Pole. The painting of the globe is
| done in oil, and necessitated the en-
ployment of two men during one entire
year. The sun is represented by an
apparition lighted by an intense
Drummond calcium light, which en-
ables the spectator to catch the orr
gin and change of the different por-
tions of day, and early dawn, the twi-
light eclipses of the sun and moon, etc

How they "WOrk" Hotels.
From the Philadelphia Times

From the Philadelphia Times.]
The crack hOtel-thieves ordinarily
travel in pairs, although they are, to
all appearances, unknown to each
other. The first night after register
ing at a hotel they sleep late, and,
when reused by the chambermaid, re-
quest them to call them at noon.
When the maid has completed her la
bors in the corridor in which their
rooms are located their business be-
gins. The vacant rooms are located
and while one thief stands on watch
his confederate effects an entrance to
an unoccupied room by means Of a
skeleton key and closes the door be-
hind him. He then rapidly bores a
hole Immediately over the bolt and
fills up each end with white putty. If
thelockis adouble one, as is the case in
many first-class hotels, a small hole is
drilled through it: so that nippers can
be used on the inside lock in turning
the key after the victim has retired.
A half dozen rooms can be 'Hfxed" in
this way within an hour. The after
noon is utilized in making themselves
''solid" with the regular guests over
the bar and in watching the register
for guests assigned to the "fxed"
rooms. When every one has gone to
bed one thief resumes his watch and
''pipes off, the Waterman while his
confederate works the rooms. This is
done in short order and the thieves
are away by daylight.
