are the places the toilers want It is said
that Helms and Hastreiter's dismissals
are thrown out as a sop to the crowd to
see its effect. If it satisfies eaihem then the

GUS good things in this class that are

innocuous species are similar in appear
ance to some that are virulent, and may

distinguished from the dangerous ones;
quite as easily or more easily than the
common mushroom. Mr.. Worthington
Smith points out the Agaricus infundi-
buliformis as one of these. 1t is whitish,
and has cup turned inside out, as in the
case of an umbrella inverted by the wind.
The cup formed by the inversion recurves
little at the elges, and as one secs it

'"The great Lick telescope" says the
Boston Herald, "when mounted and
swung against the sky, will have focus
of ffty-fve feet length and neatly fifteen
feet longer than the largest one ever
made. 1t will be a refractor, which means
that the image is formed directly to the
eye by the object glass, as contradistin-
guished from the Gregorian and Her
schelian telescopes. The largest instru-
ment ever known of the latter style was
DR.. Herschel's. The tube lacked but
eight inches of being forty feet in
length. What new revelations in the
heavens this largest and most powerful
OF all refractors may disclose from its
costly minaret and the surprising aid it
promises to the further study of the sur
face of the moon alone, are matters which
already excite impatient expectation from
the whole scientific world.

for the immediate execution of those who

Of freight trains, have been of more or
less frequent occurrence ever since the
Mexican Central Railroad was opened
for business. The lawless bands which
so frequently gather upon the other side
of our frontier, and which never scruple
to plumber friend or foe, have on several
occasions found o rich booty after caus-
