TraohIaying the First six Months of / 49,

The amount OF track laid during the
first six months of any year never gives
a fair idea OF the railway mileage
actually under construction, as on many
of the lines tracklaylng does not fairly
begin until midsummer and often il is
almost wholly done late in the fall. Al
ready, however, large amount Of track
laying has been accomplished, and it is
now certain that the railway building
preceding years, and indeed surpass that
of most of the years IN the history OF the
country. The Railway Age presents the
following table of tracklaying from Jan.
to june 80, 1886:

Another Mail Agent Rem oved.

Yesterday morning as the Miner
al Point stage was coming into
Dodgeyille, just as it arrived at the
point on the bill near Ellwood
nursery, where it usually blows the
long whistle for the station, one of
the horses dropped down and gave
up the ghost and its commission.
Whether the poor animal died from
natural causes, or political ones, has
not yet been determined, as no au-
topsy has yet been made. The sal
airy for carrying the mail between
Mineral Point and Dodgeyillc, has
always been too small, but no horse
has a right to suddenly cancel tho
contract without notice to the de
partment; and if the mail depart
ment Of the government has i'm.
posed a duty on horses that serious
ly affects their health, the matter
ought to be inquired into by the hu-
name society.-Star.

While w. p. Stearns, a Monroe
druggist, was smoking n cigar, one
day last week, there was sudden
and terrific explosion. A missile flew
out of the cigar knocking a piece
out of his thumb; flying to pieces.
several bystanders narrowly escaped
being struck Upon examination it
was found that some miscreant had
placed a cartridge of small calbre
into the cigar and this was what
caused the explosion. The Sentinel
says: "The cigars were made in Gin.
cinnati, and the brand has been a
popular one here. Immediately
after the accident, all that brand of
cigars in the city were packed .u,,
and laid aside by the dealers, and
the manufacturers notified. What.
ever the motive of the person who
placed the cartridge in the cigar
could have been, it certainly was a

a cannon ball came right for him

and gave it shove with the end of
his musket and steered il in another

picted on the mans countenance as
he brushed his coat tails and stepped

LAssoINo A CALF.

An Amusement In Which the Victim Par
ticipated to the Best Of Its Ability.
A yearling calf. who hung down his
head in the meekest manner. and whose
large eyes seemed to be chuck-full of
sorrow over some calf-calamity. was in
a yard on Second Avenue the other day,
when along came two young Buffalo
Bills. They had lassos made of stolen
clothes-lines, and they had been prac-
ticing on every hitching post for half
mile around. As soon as they saw that
calf they realized that they had struck
. bonanza Here was living. breath
ing thing to practice on. and they lost
no time in going to work on that imag-
mary buffalo. As the calf stood stock
still it was no great feat to throw the
nooses over his head. The trouble was
to get them off again. As the slip
knots frightened the calf backed off and
uttered the most dolefuk bawls, and
he seemed so utterly meek that the
boys climbed the fence to secure their
ropes. The calf backed off until he
had them twenty feet from the fence.
and then sudden change took place
all over him. Down went his head
and up went his tail. and the first boy
hadn't quit rolling over and over when
the second followed after. They got
up to 60 down again. and the calf had

EXPENSIVE FUN.

What IL Cost Mistress to Burn He.
SERVANTS Letters.
In the employ of one of the wealthiest
ladies of Rochester has been for some
time colored domestic. The girl was
young. and apparently possessed of a
large number of epistolary friends for
nearly every trip the letter carrier
brought her one or more letters. Re-
ceiving so much correspondence excited
the wrath and possibly feeling Of
jealousy in her mistress, who was irri-
tated beyond endurance at every arrival
of the postman. Finally two letters
came for the domestic and reached the
hands Of the lady. who: petulantly
threw them into the stove. The follow
ing day the postman handed another
letter to the girl herself, and told her
that she was receiving . great many
letters.
mot so many" she replied. "This
Is the first one have received in

The letter-carrier asserted that he
brought two only the day before. The
girl went to her mistress and demanded
an explanation. The lady said: 'Yes,
1 did get two letters for you. but I
threw them into the stove. You are
receiving altogether too many letters
lately"
And she told the story to her hus-
band at night as . good joke. The
latter looked grave when the girl
threatened to bring suit and the up
shot OF the whole matter is that the
girl has been paid an even two thousand
to keep the case out of the courts.

How the Military Machine OF the Otto.
man Empire Is Operated.
Universal CONSUMPTION is the order of
the day in Turkey. Every male Mo-
hammedan is liable to service except
those fortunate enough to have been
born in Constantinople, the Turkish
capital possessing the privilege of con-
ferring exemption on its citizens by
birth. On attaining the age of twenty
one. every Turk has to present himself
at the military center of the district
wherein he resides, and draw for the
ballot. Those fortunate enough to OBJ
tam lucky numbers pass at once into
the 'Iktihat," as also those for whom
there may be no room in the "cadres"
of the peace establishment of the army.
Six years is the regular period of service
in the "Nizam," four with the regi-
ment, and two in its "Iktihat" After
leaving the "Nizam," the .reservist"
becomes ''Redif' for eight years and
then passes into the '.Mustafiz'' for the
full period of his life during which he
is capable of bearing arms. The Red
ifs" are divided into two classes, first
and second, of equal periods in respect
to service. Curious. however, as it will
no doubt appear in the eyes of Western
military critics, it is the second class of
the '.Redifs"-that is, the older men
who are called out first The reason
of this is, as am given to understand.
that the government is thus enabled to
get few years more military service
out of the men in case of need than it
otherwise would.-Nineteenth Century.

speaks English very imperfectly, but in
conversation had with him couple
of days since enough was learned to
show that his career had been a check
cred one. Born in the province of Ca
labria, in the southern part of the Ital-

were passed in a quiet manner in the
manufacture of the famous white and

celebrated, and in the playing of cards.

Spain, arriving in the northern part of
that country during the height of the
Carlist war. and espousing the cause of
Don Carlos, followed his varying for
tunes until he was compelled to flee to
France in 1889. Buolenti then drifted
to Trieste, on the Adriatic, where he
engaged in merchandising. and in a few
years acquired competence. firing
of commercial life he emigrated to
South America, and entering the Bra

of cavalry. but for some fancied dis

years, without lettering his condition.

to leave the country when Bazaine and
the foreign troops departed. After the
death of the Emperor, Buolenti. upon
whom age and hardships were making
inroads. made his way to Vera Cruz,
