FAsrER RAILWAY SERVICE.

The popular demand is for faster rail.
way service, and while some few roads
have accorded these facilities others are
preparing to SO do. The Chicago Herald.
in an interview with an English gentle
man connected with an American railway
company, quotes him as saying:
In England we read of the Cannon
ball " trains, Lightning Express " and
Especial Limited" trains of America,
and on coming here we expect to find
trains making something like a mile a
minute. But you can imagine our aston
ishment upon discovering that these
wonderful trains are slower than our
third. class passenger trains in England.
Why, extra fare is charged on trains in
this country making thirty-four or thirty
five miles an hour, the extra charge
being solely for the speed. But in Eng
land our third.class passengers ride from
forty to forty-fve miles an hour, and no.
body pays extra fare. / have been max.
ing some comparisons between English
and American railway service. From
New York to Albany is l42 miles by a
splendid track. There are ten express
trains daily between these cities, and
their average speed is % % miles an
hour. Between London and Sheffield,
1872 miles, the Great Northern runs nine
express trains daily, with an average
speed of 44a miles an hour. One train
makes so miles an hour. Between New
York and Boston, 233 miles, there are
only eight express trains daily, with an
average speed of 80 % miles an hour.
The fastest, a train of sleepers, would
not be called an express train at all, its
speed being only 3Sf miles an hour. Be.
tween London and Manchester, 500
miles, there are twenty express trains
daily. their average speed being Al miles
an hour, and some Of them travel nearly
4S miles an hour. Between New York
and Pittsburg. 444 miles. there are five
express trains daily; their average speed
is just under 30 miles an hour, and the
fastest 81 miles. Between London and
Glasgow. 440 miles, there are thirteen
daily expresses and their average speed
is 3S3 miles. The East Coast Express
runs the whole distance at 423 miles an
hour. I find that about the only trains
in the United States making more than
30 miles an hour are the two Chicago
expresses, and g few trains running north
and south from New York City. The
only really fast passenger trains in
America are three or four, which run at
q speed OF about 46 miles an hour, be.
tween New York and Philadelphia. All
over England and Scotland, our express
trains, composed of first. second, and
third.class carriages. make from IS to
80 miles an hour. Between New York
and Philadelphia. there are twenty ex-
press trains daily. with an average
speed of AZ miles so hour. Between
Liverpool and Manchester, very much
similar towns, there are forty.two trains
daily. four Of them making ffty.one and
one-third miles an hour, and the re-
mainder between forty.ive and forty.six
miles.

The Last Cholera.

The last cholera, that Of 1888 and 1884,
which we dread will be revived In
Europe this spring and summer, was
carried from India to Tonquin and China
in 1881 and 1882, and was sent back to
France in 1888 and 1884. 1t was also
carried from Bombay to Damietta, in
Egypt, in 1883, and caused nearly forty
thousand deaths, when it died out COM
pletely. From Egypt it was carried
late in 1888 to Marseilles in France,
where it died out in the winter. In
1884 it was brought from Tonquin and
perhaps from Egypt, to Toulon, IN
France, and was spread to Italy by flee
ing italian laborers. It was sent from
France to Spain, and also up to Paris
where it caused about thousand deaths
in October and November, 1884. Wheth-
er it will commence anew in Europe
this year no one knows; but, with the
modern knowledge of the disease and
sanitation, 1t will be disgraceful to all
concerned if it does. We do not know
whether 1t will reach this country; but
if it does, all large cities with good
boards of health and large and pure water
supply will escape lightly. Dirty towns
and villages, where much animal and
human filth is stored, and where the
wells are contaminated, will suffer
heavily. The poison of cholera is all
contained in the discharges, and if the
nurses and attendants of the sick will be
careful to wash their hands after hand
ling anything soiled by them, there
will be no danger, provided also all soiled
clothing and articles are washed and
and disinfected at once. 1t is the per-
sons in the inoipient stages of the dis
ease, those suffering with the Fremont
tary diarrhea, who SOW the germs OF
the disease everywhere and by hand
ling even bread or fruit or vegetables
contaminate them in such way that
they become dangerous and infectious
to others. Cholera progresses slowly
in this way, and is easily stamped out.
When the poison gets into drinking.
water, numerous cases occur almost
instantaneously, and if the germs were
not very perishable, the whole race
would almost be exterminated.-J. O.

ROMANCE OF THE ILL FATED STEAMER
DANIEL sTEINMANN.

A romance has come to light connected
with the Inflated steamship Daniel Stein
mann, which was wrecked at Sambro
year ago, when 124 lives were lost. Pre-
vious to his leaving home, Peter Andreas
Michaelson, one of the passengers, de-
posted $39, $40 and some valuables for
safe keeping with one Herschird, of
Hasle, Denmark, and took a receipt
therefor. Probably imagining that no
legal evidence would be forthcoming
that he had the money, Herschird re-
fused to return it to the dead mans rel.
atives. Thereupon the Danish Foreign
Minister communicated with Mr.. Tobin,
the Danish Consul at Halifax, request
ing him to spare no efforts to find the
receipt. The bodies and wreckage,
washed ashore from time to time have
been carefully searched, and the divers
who have worked on the wreck for the
past year have kept sharp lookout for
the missing document, but all without
success. Recently q small trunk was
washed ashore containing number of
letters and papers. These were turned
over to the Consul. They were water
soaked, the writing almost obliterated, but
among them was the long-lookedfor re-
ceipt, which, after much difficulty, Con-
sui Tobin deciphered and translated.
He has cabled the good news to Copen-
hagen.

MY WIFE AND CHILD.

The tattoo beats; the lights are gone;
The camp around in slumber lies;
The night with solemn pace moves on;
The shadows thicken DER the skies;
But sleep my weary eyes had flown,
And sad, uneasy thoughts arise.
think Of thee, oh, dearest one.
Whose love mine early life hath blest;
OF thee and him-our baby SON
Who slumbers on thy gentle breast.
God of the tender, fraii and lone,
Oh, guard that little sleeper's rest
And hover gently, hover near
To her whose watchful eye is wet
Tha mother, wife-the doubly dear,
In whose young heart have freshly met
Two streams Of love, so deep and clear,
And cheer her dropping spirit yet
Now, rs she kneels before Thy throne,
Oh, teach her, Ruler of the skies
That while by Thy behest alone
Earth's mightiest powers fau or rise;
70 tear is wept TO Thee unknown,
Nor hzar is lost, nor sparrow dies;
That Thou canst stay the ruthless hand
OF dark disease, and soothe its pain;
That only by Thy stern command
The battles lost, the soldier slain;
That from the distant sea or land :
Thou bring'st the wanderer home again.
And when upon her pillow lone,
Der tear-wet cheek is sadly pressed,
May happier visions beam upon
The Frightening currerts OF her breast;
Nor frowning lcok, nor angry tone
Disturb the Sabbath of her rest I
Whatever fate those forms may throw,
Loved with passion almost wild,
By day, by night-in Joy or woe
By fears oppressed or hopes beguilsd;
From every danger, every foe,
Oh, God protect my wife and child

ALI In Two Weeks.

Our highly esteemed cotemporary,
the Journalist, has an interesting article
on the Harper Brothers, the great pub
fishers of New York city, in which it
says that every new Harper that goes
into the house as partner must, after
leaving college, serve an apprenticeship
in all branches of the business, so that
he may be able to overlook every de-
partment. This is exceedingly COM
mendable in the Harpers, and is sure
sign that the old stock will not run out,
or rather, if it does run out the new will
be prepared to fill the place.
The Press now dislikes to knock
the romance out of the Journal
ISIS interesting little story, but it
has to. While the Harpers comprise
one of the Oldest, most conservative and
high toned houses in business, they
are growing in numbers very rapidly
so rapidly indeed that if any employee
throws away an old tobacco quid he is
in danger of hitting one of the firm.
So, the reader will see, there is no
danger of the stock dying out.
When the unfedged young Harper re-
ceives his college parchment and heads
for the great factory in Cliff street, he
is obliged to go through the mill. He
goes into the composing room, stays
there taUo weeks ana acquires thor
ough knowledge of the department.
Then he goes to the electrotype
room, and in two weeks gobbles
that in; then to the bindery, and two
weeks there fixes him all right. On.
ward he passes to the Adams press
room, and in two weeks is able to run a
press, cut an oyerlay and make a cut
form ready for work. Down he goes
into the four-cylinder room. and has
two weeks more study over the intrica-
cies of that venerable machine. After
an edition is of, three OF the cylinders
are thrown out, the forms taken of, the
rollers go into the closets, five hundred
waste sheets are given the youngster and
he runs them off. His instruction il
then complete, and he goes to the office.
This is about the way the young Har'
pers pick up the knowledge of the bust
ness which enables them to become
proficient in all the branches. If the,
we're not so smart they could not leaz1
SO much in the two weeks, As a gen
eral thing, however, they declare tina
they have enough OF it, and that th'
work in each department is the hardas

THE VERMONT TROOPS.
A BRIGADE THAT HAD A lot OF Fun
AND FROBIC In 1T.
Ben. Perley Poore, in his "Reminiscences Of |
the Wnr, Tells This story of a Vermont
Brigade.


The Vermont brigade was the pet Or
ganization Of the Army of the Potomac,
and Miles O'Reilly described them as
honest farmers turned vagabonds-sim
pie countrymen changed into heroes.
They stole ancient horses and bony COWS
on the march. They pillaged moderately
in other things. They swept the diaries
and they stripped the orchards for miles
where they travelled. They chased rab-
bits when they went into camp after
long marches, and they yelled like wild
Indians when neighboring camps were
silent through fatigue. They were famil-
lar with their officers. They staggered
in cool, impudent way and looked
down with a patronizing Yankee cool
ness upon all regiments that were better
drilled. and upon that part of the army
generally that did not belong to the Yer
mont brigade. They were strangely
proud, not of themselves individually,
but of the brigade collectively, for they
knew perfectly well that they were the
best fighters in the known world. They
were individually self-reliant and skilful
in the use of arms, and they honestly be-
lieved that the Vermont brigade could
not be beaten by all the combined armies
of the rebellion.
They were veterans in fighting quail
ties almost from the first skirmish. This
was at Lees Mills. They crossed mar.
row dam under fire, made the attack
they were instructed to make, and came
back, wading deep in the water, with
steadiness that surprised the army.
They were an incorrigible, irregular,
noisy set OF rascals. They we're much
sworn at during their four years OF
service; yet they were, at all times,
pet brigade. There were but two things
they would do-march and fight; and
these they did in manner peculiarly
their own. They had a long, slow,
swinging stride on the march, which dis
tanced everything that followed them.
They had quiet, attentive, earnest, in
dividual way OF fighting that made them
terrific in battle. Each man knew that
his neighbor in the ranks was not going
to run away, and he knew also that be
himself intended to remain where he
was. Accordingly, none of the attention
of the line was directed from the impor-
tant duties of loading and firing, rapidly
and carefully. When moving into action
and while hotly engaged, they made
queer, quaint jokes, and enjoyed them
greatly. They crowed like cocks, they
ba-a-ed like sheep, they neighed like
horses, they beloved like bulls, they
barked like dogs, and they counterfeited
with excellent effect the indescribable
music of the mule. When, perchance,
they held a picket line in the forest, it
seemed as if Noah's ark had gone to
pieces there.
When the Vermonters led the column
on a march their quick movements had
to be regulated from corps of division
headquarters to avoid gaps in the column
as it followed them. If rapid or forced
march was required, it was q common
thing for Sedgwick to say, with quiet
smile, "Put the Vermonters at the head
of the column to-day and keep every thing
well closed up"

The chief wore on his shoulders sort

The chief wore on his shoulders sort
Of cape, trimmed with fringe of snowy
ermine. His leggings were mass Of
bead work. He wore cap of otter with
out crown, though, for 1t is their GUS
tom to leave the top OF the head uncov-
cred. Three eagle feathers, that denote
the number of warriors killed, were so
fastened in that they stood erect. There
were several perforations in each ear
from which depended bead earrings.
He had armlets OF FURNISHED brass I;
thrown around him was beaded blanket.
The red clay pipe had the wooden stem
inlaid with silver, and was embellished
with the breast feathers OF brilliantly
plumaged birds. The tobacco bag, about
two feet long, had not an inch that was
not decorated. The costume was simply
superb.
Iron Horse began his speech in the
usual high-pitched. unehangeable key.
He thanked the GehersE for the care OF
his brother, and the whole tenor of the
rest was repeated petitions to ask the
great father in Washington to spare his
life. He then slowly took off his elabo-
rate buckskin shirt and presented it to
my husband. He ended by making
SINGULAR REQUEST,
which was worthy OF Damon and
Pythias. Two sly young braves in the
outer circle of the untitled, asked per-
mission through their chief to share the
captivity of Rain-in-the-Face. I could
not help recalling what some one had
told me in the East, that women some
times go to the State Prison at Sing Sing
and importune to be allowed to share
the imprisonment of their husbands or
brothers; but no instance is found in the
history of that great institution where a
man has asked to divide with friend or
relative the sufferings OF his sentence.
After his two friends had left him,
Rain in the Face occupied part of the
guard house with a citizen who had
been caught stealing grain from the
storehouse. For several months they
had been chained together and used to
walk in front of the little prison for ex-
ercise and air. The guard-house was
poorly built, insecure wooden building.
After time the sentinels became less
vigilant, and the citizen, with help from
his friends outside, who were working
in the same way, cut hole IN the wall
at night and escaped.
He broke the chain attaching him I
the Indian, who was left free to follow
We found afterward that Rain-in-the-
Face did not dare to return to the reser.
walton, but made his way to the hostile
camp. In the spring of 1874 he sent
word from there by an agency Indian
that he had joined Sitting Bull, and was
awaiting his revenge for his imprison-
ment.
The stained waters of the Little Big
Horn, on June 25, 1876, told how deadly
and fatal that was. The vengeance of
that incarnate fend was concentrated
on the man who had effected his cap
ture. It was found on the battlefield
that be had cut out the brave heart OF
that gallant, loyal, and lovable man, our
brother Tom.
