average speed of twelve miles an hour.

at the West, and freight cars of 1000 lbs.

FOREIGN railway news shows that the
Englishman takes nineteen railway trips a
year, the Belgian eleven, the Frenchman
and German five, and the Italian one.
CoNpUcToRs and engineers in the employ
of the Erie Railroad Company have been
ordered to carry watches which have been

pointed by the company for that duty.

The gas under the natural high pressure,

carried on a spcC.al car behind the tender

THE RICHMOND'S COURSE.
Admiral Lucc's Flagship in the
 Tropical Seas.

The Richmond, Capt. Robert Boyd con- manding, bearing tho flag of Rear Admiral Luce, came into Key West from her West h. dia cruise. Since leaving New York in January she has made the tour of all the principal islands in the Windward and Leeward groups, including the most important South and Gen. tral American ports. Everything was particu- larly quiet except at Caracas, where a general election was ill progress, and there was more or less political excitement. The Panama Canal was carefully inspected throughout, of Admiaal Luce and his officers to sec all that had been accomplished and to form an estimate of whatstill remains to be done. Greytown was the last port visited the Richmond and Ossipee going there to carry on some surveys at tho request of General Man. ager Taylor of the Nicaragua Canal and Con- struction Company. Mir. Maxwell, chief of the Photographic party now at work along the route of the canal, having gone inland to sur vey and sound the course through Lake Nica- ragua leaving nobody with whom to communi- cate and furnish tho necessary data and the swell outs.ae the harbor being remarkably heavy for this season of the year, the project was reluctantly abandoned and the men f-war left.
 After coaling and making other needed pre- parations for her trip up tho Mississippi to New Orleans the Richmond and other vessels of the squadron that arc now at Key West or soon expected will leave for the rendezvous off South Pass, when the entire squadron will go up the river for week or ten days of enjoy ment after their arduous cruising in the tropics, and after that will continue their cruise along our coast, visiting all the larger seaports and reaching Hampton Roads by the 1st of June. ,..-.,..- .a55

Facts About the Syndicates.

A Nebraska man who has just return ed from an extended tour of the country recently struck small town in Missouri where the shanties composing the metropolis were surrounded by numer- ous acres of land staked of into lots. Before one of the trade emporiums sat an old man smoking corn. cob pipe and apparently plunged in meditation. The Nebraska man assumed an air of pro- found innocence and aooosted him, when this dialogue ensued:
 "What are these stakes here for7"
 ''Town lots, stranger. This hyar town is just CT goin' to have boom. An opery-house will be built thar, eff nothin' hapRens. !p9RRs1 - .,o...,.
 "A syndicut. Ye won't see ary flies on this town"
 "What is syndicate ?"
 "Why, ye see, a syndicut is CT lot of fellers in the city what has money, and they sorter get together and buy up 8 farm, and they stake it off, ye see, an start boom. That thar land was ther Widder Mcguire farm, but ther syndicut bought it and staked it off,"
 "And how does the syndicate do its booming2"
 "Wal, one feller in ther syndicut gets control of it all, ye see, and he sells lot to another feller, an it goes round an round, an every time it goes round the price is rig"
 "But then it would never be sold out of that body"
 'It wouldn't, eh7 Stranger, yer wrong. Finally CT lot is sold to some outside feller, and then it's deddycated, ye see, an don't go round no more."
 "Thanks; now I know all about it.'

A LONG SWIM.
All Night in the Ocean Without even
 Plank

The name of Frank Miller who has just reached San Francisco on the brig William G Irwin from the Sandwich Islands, ought to be placed in the temple of fame alongside that of Leander, for he has proven that he possesses an amphibian capa. icy quite equal to that of the swimmer of the Hellespont. Miler's ex- ploit was out in the Pacific Ocean, and there fore cannot be measured as to distance, but its time was seventeen hours.
 Three or four months ago he left San Fran cisco on the whaling vessel Jacob A. Howland which during its cruising caught two whales near the Sandwich Islands. For day or two after the killing, the vessel was surrounded by sharks eager for the refuse. The vicious creatures swarmed in the wake of the vessel and crowded around her, popping their greedy heads up above the waves in plain sight of the sailors. The deck was slippery after the kill ing, and one evening while Miller was on the port rail forward he missed his footing and pitched headlong into the sea.
 He thinks he must kxSa NApted, unconscious from the shock and from fright at the thought of the sharks, for some time. For with his first consciousness after slipping and falling he looked for the vessel, but could neither see nor hear anything of her. He knew they were not many miles from the shore of the island of Molokai, and guidng himself as best he could by the stars he struck out in tlfe direction which he thought would carry him to its shore. could feel that he was making but itt'e prog ress, exert himself as he might. He thought of the sharks which only few hours before had been clustering around the vessel, and every five minutes he imagined that one was swashing up against him, while every bright geam of starlight upon little wave he was cocksure was the coldiy glittering eye of a hungry shark intent on making lunch off him.
 But morning dawned and he was still un- eaten, though weak from his battle with the waves and his continued fright that he had not the strength to climb upon couple of blanks nailed together that came drifting past him. But he caught hold of them, and managed to sustain himself still longer by their aid. A terrible thirst took possession of him, and as the sun rose higher and higher it almost blistered his face and hands. Finally, about the middle of the afternoon the brig Iiwln came along, saw him, and picked him up. His strength was entirely gone that he | had to be lifted over the side of the boat sent after him as if he had been 8 baby.
