'YKOn NEW ORLEANS TO BISMARCK.
From N. o. Picayuhe.)

Inc syndicate OF pennsylvania IMAM
cleo which has started to build rail-
H. from New Orleans to Bismarck,
14zE miles, is bold concern. The
m Whch can begin by disregarding
q ze fhsofies which carry the rail-
WSy6 transversely across the water
COURSES is remarkable. The syndicate
not only refuses TO agree with the plans
wlich Sdncentrate the roads Of the
Southwest at-St. Louis, but delibera>
teIy xrranees to build directly across
those roads, and pactically runs down
tbe decllvify Of the Missouri and Mis-
sissippi, departing from that stream
which is practically but single stream
bnlt far enough 10 cut across the
great bend which it makes to the cast
ward to receive the waters Of the
Upper Mississippi. If the reader will
lay ruler on apy map of the United
States from Bisn1fck to New Orleans,
and draw an air ltne, he will observe
that Bastrop, sa Fort Scott, Kans.,
and Topeka and Lincoln, the capitals
Of Kansas and Nebraska, lie just west
Of the air line. Hot Springs and
Eureke Springs, the two celebrated
watering place Of Arkansas, are on the
line; so is the lead region of Southwest
Missouri, while the road runs through
inexhaustible coal regions. The gener-
a plan Of the road points toward the
making OF New Orleans the seaport for
the whole Northwest, and is regularly
supplementary to the water channel
itself. All along its line it cuts squarely
across the existing railroads, and is in
that respect unique; almost any new
project seeks to bisect the interval
lying longlt1dinapy between existing
roads. Whether the theory of the
road is financially sound one is the
affair Of the syndicate; the people viii
be well served by the road whether
the builders realize their anticipated
reward or not.
Kansas and Nebraska are already SO
we'll provided with roads that it is
wonderful to see the building of the
section of the new road in those States
already in. progress, while the section
inaArkansas ard Louisiana is mere
plan yet. No road could be laid out
in Arkansas and Louisiana which
would promise more in the develop.
ment of those States than the one pro-
posed by the PennsyIvanians. In
Louisiana the line runs down the Oua>
chlta from Bastrop to Alexandria, and
tEis section could be built at once with
advantage and would have IA paying
traffic from the.day OF its opening. So
long as our people are asked for only
reasonable assistance in the shape of
subsidies, grants of right Of way and
lands, and the link, they can afford to
do whatever is practicableio hasten the
building OF the road. II is 10 be taken
for gianted that proper security will be
taken for the performance of contract.
A tax levy in the shape of subsidy
should be payable in sections, as the
road is completed, and grants of every
sort should mature only on completion
Of road to agreed points. If reasonable
precaution is exercised there can be no
dagger Of loss. The people OF Northern
Louisiana have been considerably ex-

A Little Girl in Wonder Land.


a little daughter of Rev. David Street,
Of the Presbyterian Church Of this town,
aged eleven years, has been troubled with
imperfect visionall herlife. Her parents
supposed it was near-sightedness, or what
is termed myopia. A number of opti-
clans have been consulted, but the spec
tacies ordinarily kept by them were of
no use at all, hut seemed to make her
eyes worse. DR.. Prentice examined the
case, and discovered the trouble to be an
irregular formation of the retroactive
powers Of the eye, called astigmatism.
BY a careful measurement Of the differ
est powers of the eye, the doctor was
able to grind glass as irregular as the
eye, only in the reverse, so that when
placed before that organ it became per-
fcctly normal, and by the aid of this
glass the child could read the finest print
at natural distance, and also recognize
people at block distant. Never before
could she see across street, but has
lived in a circle bounded by her impaired
vision. Tuesday she had her first view
Of the world as others see it. Returning
home size would exclaim, "what beau
tiful tree" and on every hand were now
new sights and new objects.

TERRELL, TEX, Jan. t.-Our pastors
all dispensed with their regular service
last night. They have accepted the inyi.
tation OF the Evangelical alliance, for the
carrying out OF which they commenced
last night union service ia observing
the week OF prayer, as recommended by
the alliance. The service was held at the
Methodist church and was participated
in by the hearty cooperation OF the five
determinations, Methodist, Baptist,
Christian, Cumberland and Presbyterian.
The scriptures were read, prayer offered
by Rev Mr. Watford of the Cumberland
and DR.. Shaw of the Presbyterian, fol-
lowed by an eloquent, enthusiastic and
learned address by the talented pastor of
the Baptist church, DR.. Dodge. Short
addresses were made BY all the live min
isters from the stand. and many
were constrained to say, GLOW

to dwell together in unity" These meet
ings will be continued during the entire
week.
Last night, soon after the adjournment
OF services aud the people had returned
to their homes, q couple of pistol shots
rang out on the clear, cool atmosphere
Citizens generally thought but little Of 1t,
but to their amazement they learned this
morning that two pals from some un-
known hand were sent whizzing through
the window of j. w. Gineland. He had
Just returned home and was preparing to
retire for the night. Mr.. Gllleland is a
very quiet, unobstrusiye gentleman, and
is, as are all who know him, at loss to
know how to account for the occurrence.
as he IS not known to have an enemy in
the city or elsewhere. The party who
fired the shots was near the window.
The glass detected the first ball. The
other was fired through the same hole,
one passing on either side of Gilleland
and barely missing him.
