SOUTHERN CONNECTIONS.

Railroads Which Threaten TO Move
Open our Works from BeGow-A
Definite Elan and New Theory
There is an interview in the Kansas
City Times Of the 18th Creceiyed
through tho courtesy of Major Sharp
with Colonel l.. Il, Bush, general man.
ager Of the Kansas, Nebraska & Dakota
road, and in the interview he says:
"Ihe Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota
will be an independent north and south
line. During the present year we will
build and have IN operation 200 miles OF
the road, extending from Fort Scott,
Kan, to the state line of Nebraska, by
way of Topeka. We Will push
northward as rapidly as possible, first to
Pawnee City, Neb., and thence north
west to the coal fields of Dakota"
The northern terminus of this road is
not decided upon, but the interviewed
party says the railroad will reach the
coal fields of Dakota as
soon as possible. just where
the coal fields Of Dakota lie
Gf not on the Jenoks farm we are unable
to state unless by this term is meant the
region just west of Bismarck, known as
the Knife river country, Colonel Bush
says the first two hundred miles of the
road, from Fort Scott to the southern
boundary line of Nebraska, will be com
pIeted by next November, but this side
of that. point the progress of coDstruc-
ton us rather Indefinite. The entire
road Is to be twelve hundred miles long
and 1t will take several years to COM
piete it. The material and rolling stock
for the first two hundred miles has been
purchased and work will be commenced
early in the spring. This is q road that
promises TO cross the Missouri ss Yank-
ton.
The Information derived from this in
terview renders erroneous the SUPPOSE
ton of yesterday, that it was the Kan.
sas, Nebraska & Dakota surveying party
which had driven stakes from Norfolk
to the Pierce & Maclagan ranch on the
Nebraska side of the Missouri. From
the interview it appears that the K. N
& d. he's advanced its project no farther
than the south line OF Nebraska and vii
complete to that point before feeling
northward. Several of our sagacrout
citizens are OF the opinion that the sur
: yeying party mentioned belongs t.
the Union Pacific, which ha
just notified the public that it has de
cided to build several northward feed
/ ers during 1886. A branch of the Uniol
Pacific is already in operation dlrectl,
> north from o point near Columbus tt
Norfolk, following a straight north AM
south line Y~anktonward. The argumen
: Is that the y. P. proposes extending
9 this branch into Dakota, as over it con
nection will be secured with the Dakot
: systems by the shortest possible route
! There ia plenty OF good sense in thi
theory. Under it we will secure th
U. P. this year and the K, N. & d. vii
i, come along next year. One at a tim
: is better than to have them rushing i
here faster thar We can take care q
them.

Plan for the Tennessee Campaign

1t has become a maxim which few men
OF experience will be found to contradict,
=" that there is q woman at the bottom of
every event" but ii will be news to many
that to woman is due the credit for the
plan of the Tennessee campaign. Such,
however, is the case. Anna Ella Carroll,
in the April number of the North american
Regle10, occupies SIX pages in asserting her
claims to the honor
Miss Carroll begins her article with a
reference to the secession speeches of Sen
ator Breckenridge in the Senate in 1861.
and of her reply to them. She says
"As soon as it cher reply) was printed /
sent copy to the President, through Attor-
ney-General Bates Mr.. Lincoln returned
his grateful thanks, saying that it was the
best defense of his rule that any one had
ever made. Mr.. Hamin, the Vice-Presi-
dent, also expressed his gratitude, as did
also the various members of the Cabinet
This paper was largely circulated by the
War Department as a war measure.
During the summer months Miss Carroll
devoted her time to writing -" to put the
people in possession of the true theory of
cur Government and to define and defend
the war powers it possesses" but in the
autumn, in compliance with an under
standing from the Assistant Secretary of
War, Colonel Thomas A. Scott. Endorsed
by Mr.. Lincoln" she went West, to in
form herself as to the military and politi-
cal situation in that quarter She went
first to Chicago and subsequently to St.
Louis, at which latter place she remained
several weeks.
The librarian of the Mercantile Library
in St Louis was, at the time of her visit a
brother of Albert Sidney johnson, the Con-
federate General, and from him she gained
much information of what was intended
by the Confederates. Her account of her
conversation with him is interesting and
some Of her remarks are amusing, like the
following:
went to General Fremont's. He was
absent on one of his expeditions. His wife
was in command in st. Louis
The method which she assumed to find
out the nayigability of the Tennessee
and Cumberland rivers was ingenious.
She seems to have spared no pains to OBJ
tain reliable information, and consulted
both the river pilots and their wives Hav-
ing formulated a plan, she proceeded to
Washington and laid it before Colonel
Thomas A. Scott, who in turn laid it be-
fore the President, who approved it and
put il in execution.

are we Losing Our Teeth 2

The alternative rs to whether man was
created or developed can no longer be
raised, now that we are exercising the free
use of our reason. Mans dentition has to
be Judged from our experiences made in
the mammalian group. Hence, first of all,
it is reduced dentition. True, we do not
know the definite stages by which it was
attained in man, any more than we do in
the case of the anthropomorphoids, and all
the other apes Of the Old World, but we
shall not hesitate to maintain that the an
cestors of man possessed a fuller number
of teeth as long as deductions are justified
from the observation of facts. Our teeth
have decreased in number during the
course of our geologico-zoological develop
ment; We have lost on either side, above
and below, two incisors, two premolars and
one molar. By this we transfer ourselves
back tothose periods from which the Jaw
OF the otocyon has been preserved. Baume,
our eminent odontologist, in a recent work
which we have repeatedly referred to, has
successfully followed and pointed out cases
of atayism or reversion IN the human Jaw.
by tracing cases of surplus" teeth-and
certain dental formations met with in the
jaws in a large percentage of cases-back
TO those portions of the jaw in the animal
ancestors of man which have disappeared
in the course of ages.-[0scar Schmidt, in

A Discovery WORTH KNowING-A valu-
able discovery has been made, whereby the
faded ink on old parchments may be so re-
stored as to render the writing perfectly
legible. The process consists in moistening
the paper with water, and then passing
over the lines in writing a brush, which
has been wet in solution of sulphide OF
ammonia. The writing viii Immediately

in the case of parchment. it will preserve,
Records which were treated in this wav in
the Germanic Museum in Nuremberg, ten
years ago, are still in the same condition
as Immediately after the application OF the
process. On paper, however, the color
gradually fades again but it may be re-
stored at pleasure by the application of the
sulphide. The explanation of the action
of this substance is very simple; the iron
which enters into the composition of the
ink is transformed by the reaction into the
black sulpbide.-[ Bookmaker
