Iabouchere's Unborn Intuition.

call him a perfect man Of the world In

is one OF rare geniaiity; in conversation in
general, while always retaining his polite
elo4uence of manner and blani look OF in
t.rest, one can rarely probe hey ond the sur
face, and can never learn what he does not
wish one to know. He is as deep as the
SEA, quicker than quicksilver, and so wide
awake under the seeming quiet and non
chalance Of his expression that l would ad-
wise one never to be taken in by his general
exterior.
He has such an inborn intuition of men
and women and things; lie has Travelled 50
much, and is such a student OF human ma
ture and reader CT character, that 1 would
give him ten minutes after seeing a person,
did he take the trouble to LOOK at one, and
he usually takes the troUble-l would give

When We touched at Free Town, the
capital OF Sierra Leone. the first thing that
caught my eye in The Sierra Leone Weekly
News was an advertisement Of "COffins sup
piled at shortest notice. Ready made col.
fins and coffin furniture always on hanl
Terms very moderate" This cheerful an
nouncement was only too fatally appro
pirate to the time and place of its appear
ance. Two English doctors died in Free
Town on the very day of our visit, both
falling victims to the epidemic Of typhoid
fever which was ravaging the whole settle
ment
@If an Englishman wishes to @die for his
country nowadays he will find no reader
method than an appointment to some post

the days Of our grandfathers the midship-

"Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, hurrah
For bloody war and a sickly season"

GCrofrut in Detroit Frss PrsGl
/ met Mr.. Z. C. Corthsli, chief engineer
OF the Tehuantepec Ship railroad. which
Capt Eads has projected to open the 18th
mus below Mexico SO far as to take ships
from one ocean and drop them quietly into
the other, and asked him whats newt"
well, he said, I'VE have found out this
week exactly how we can draw our ships
Capt Eads has always been asked: How
can You drag the great ships over if you get
them on the twelve rails you propose to lay
DOWN. He has replied, with engine,,'
feeling certain that engines for the special
work would have to be built But we have
just received letter from the chief en-
ginser Of the Mexican Central railroad. which
will not only astonish you newspaper men
and non-experts generally, but will surprise
even railroad men 1t shows that they
are manufacturing in Mexican shops the
largest locomotives in the worlI."
He handed the letter TO me, and from it
Iquote as follows:
Il send you herewith blue prints Of some of
q the engines We have just made for the Pa
citic and Gulf branches of this road, which
VIII have 81 per cent grades GS5 feet to the
mile and % degree curves The drivers
are flexible, moving independently Of each
other and of the cylinders and boiler
Figure seven represents the engine under
consideration This can carry a weight of
$1,000 pounds and haul 5000 tons at a
speed OF ten miles an hour on a straight and
level track; 2,3JO tons up \ per cent
grade, and l. 800 tons up per cent grade.
But would call your attention to the
consolidated type Of engine represented by
figures ani O. This engine has sixteen
drivers, will pass a curve of 20 to 25 degrees
with ease. can carry a weight of 240, 600
pounds and its drivers can haul s, 900 tons
at ten miles an hour on q straight and
level track, 1000 tons up 4 per cent
grade, and 1850 tons up per cent
grade"
These are tremendous motors" said Mr.
Corthell. -as civil engineers and railroad
men will fully understand. Three of these
last engines will draw the larges. ship that
sails the sea up the heaviest grades on our
line. One Of them will draw it 90 per cent.
OF the distance; and one Of them will draw
at least three efourths of the vessels all the
way from ocean to ocean,
