The Proposed Tehuantepic Ship hallway.

The Proposed Tehuantepic Ship Railway.
The scheme has been pronounced per-
fectly practicable and feasible by the most
eminent engineers of Europe and this coun-
try and 1t will certainly be carried to sue
cessful issue. 1t is almost impossible to
explain the plan without the aid of draw
ings. The vessels will be fioated into a dock
and upon submerged trucks. Innumera-
BILE braces will be placed on the sides of the
hull and the ship will be raised to the level
Of the railroad by an ingenious hydraulic
device. The railway will consist of four
tracks, along which the ship will be drawn
by four locomotives at the rate of about
eight miles per hour.
Fear has been expressed that the pressure
of the cargo may be so great as to force
open the sides of the vessel when it is out
of the water, but persons who have enter
tanned it have evidently never been across
the ocean in tempestuous weather and
seen the whole force of oncoming waves
expended against one side of the ship while
the other side is left exposed by the reced-
ing waves The cost Of the railway Is esti-
mated at s125, 100000. A prominent Eng
glish firm has offered to take the contract
10 build it. The time of sailing-vesseIs be-
tween San Francisco and Liverpool will be
lessened about two months by the railway.

Mr.. Glover died on Tuesday and was

Wednesday. Many friends will regret
to hear of his death.
From what we can see from our own
observation and learn from farmers gen
orally, we are obliged to concede that
tho oats and wheat crop will be a per-
feet failure, having been killed by the
recent cold spell. Now it bchooves our
farmers to be up and doing, and try to
devise some plan by which the small
grain crop will be supplemented. and
not be compelled to buy corn on time,
until the present crop can be made.
The time will soon come. and we hope
it is zeal at hand, when the farmer will
be able to realize, that the raising every
thing at home, and not buying on time.
will greatly improve their own condi-
ton and that of the country Mt large.

Troy.

We were called by business to Troy
last week, and enjoyed shaking hands
with our friends there. This modern
Troy has an air Of thrift about it that is
pleasing. Lovely residences and good
business honscs distinguish it, and its
people are as hospituhle and kind AZ
they are progressive. They intend to
have other railroad facilities, and just as
soon as it is demonstrated that the whole
Of the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and
Chicago Railway can't be built, they arc
going to push for n connection with Alb
bcville by the line already partially
graded, and Abhnville will help them.
Both willthave in view the continuation
