"In the construction of the Kansas
Pacific and Atchison, Topeka 4 San
Ia Fe Railroads" said H. L. Carter.
a railroad contractor Of St. joseph.
the other day, lone difficulty OF fire..
quent occurrence was met with, which.
as far as my experience goes, is unique
in railroad history. l refer to the
trouble arising from quick-sands.
From Western Kansas to the noun
tains, quicksands are to be found III
nearly every stream, no matter how
smali, and to successfully bridge them
required an expenditure out OF all
proportion to the size Of the stream
to be crossed. We tried pile driving.
but the longest piles disappeared
without touching the bottom. Then
filling with earth and stone was at
tempted with eqnally poor success,
as the quiCksand was apparently
capable of swallowing the entire
Rocky Mountains. The only means
of crossing was found to be to build
short truss bridges across them.
This was very expensive, but was the
only thing to be done. As an instances
OF the practically bottomless ma.
ture Of the q~uiCksands, | may
cite the case Of an engine that ran oil
the track at River Bend, about nine.
ty miles from Denver, on the Kansas
Pacific, The engine, a large freight,
fell into a quiCksand, and in twenty
minutes had entirely disappeared.
Within two days the company sent
out a gang Of men and a wreckina
tram to raise the engine. To their sur
prise they could not find a trace Of il.
Careful search was made, magnetized
rods were sunk to the depth Of sixty.
five feet, but no engine could be found.
1t had sunk beyond human ken, and
from that day to this has never been
discovered. Cattle and horses are
frequently lost, the only animal tn at
is safe being a mule-the only animal
that never gets caught. No greater
instance of the same intelligence OF
this much maligned quadruped can be
cited than the skill and care with
which it avoids all unsound bottom.
AS its hoofs are much smaller and
narrower than those OF a horse, it
would mire down in places where a
horse could safely pass. Recognizing
this fact, whenever a mule feels the
ground giving away under its feet, it
draws back instantly aud cannot be
induced to advance a step, although
a whole drove OF horses may have i'm
me@iately preceded. Those who think
a mule Is stupid are much mistaken.

A symptom is generally used forthis
purpose. In washing out thestomach,
the stomach is again and again filed
with water until it flows clear and
sweet. In some cases medical solu-
tions are added to the water; in 9TH
ers, after the irrigation, appropriate
remedies are introduced to advantage;
but in most cases, the simple washing
out with fresh, cool water Insufficient.
In chronic gastric catarrh there is an
abundant secretion of tough mucous,
which, being alkaline, neutralizes the
acid Of the gastric Juice. This, with
the resulting fermentation, gives rise
TO d~ilatatlon of the stomach. Some
cases require but a few washings while
Others demand it daily the rest oI
their lives. When one gets used to it
the operation should be conducted by
q responsible physician, though some
patients atterward readily learn to
perform It on themselves.-Dr. e. g.

The Vampire of RoumanIa.

Blackwood's Magazine.
In the "nosferatu," or vampire,
every Roumanian PEASANT to thisday
as a firm believer, and doubtless
much of his cumbrous funeral cere-
monial is intended to prevent the
dead from entering upon evil courses
after their burial. This terrible pla.
que of vampire is as contagious as the
smallpox. Let a vampire once get
out Of his grave and suck the blood
OF an innocent person, that person is
at once i~noculated and only waits
for his death and burial to break out
for the qualification OF his unclean
tastes and to propagate the plagrle in
fresh quarters. A village where stam-
prism was prevalent on a large scale
must have enjoyed the same cheerful
sense of security as. a district feels
when it lies in the path OF an adyanc-
Ing wave Of cholera. The common
remedy is to open the grave Of the
vampire and drive a-stake through
the body, which, we have been told,
is always fresh, plump and in good
condition, or, in cases OF extreme OBJ
stinacy in this re~prehensible practice,
to ''cut of the head and replace it in
the coffin with the mouth filed with
garlic; or to extract the heart and
burn it, strewing the ashes over the
grave" Less irreclaimable vampires
may be settled by firing a pistol-shot
into the coffin, or even by walking
ROUND the grave smoking on the an.
niyersary of the vampires death
A thorny sprig of wild rose laid across
the coffin is also Of service.

rERpLExING DISAGREEMENT.

When the republicans Of Oregon
in state convention assembled, de-
clared I'm favor "of reducing the
annual surplus revenues Of the
government by admitting free OF
duty such articles Of general use as
cannot be largely produced ormanu-
factured 10y our people," they spoke
in advance of the national republi-
can convention, which declared
sin favor of the entire repeal of
internal taxes rather than the
surrender Of any part Of our pro-
tcctive SYSTEM"
Here Is IA direct issue between the
republicanism of this state and
that Of the nation, as announced by
the politicians who assumed to
speak for it last June. But hero
come the Minnesota republicans,
also speaking through state con-
vcntion, who pronounce emphatic
ally I'm favor of "the modification,
rc-adjustment and reduction Of the
tariff" The platform reiterates
the views Of Garfield and Arthur,
as well as the recommendation of
the commission appointed by the
president last named, and urges
placing on the free list articles of
prime necessity which enter into
the ordinary consumption of the
people" And the republican
senators, too, have been busy for
several weeks formulating II bill to
revise our present tariff, by placing
some articles now taxed on the free
list, and reducing the duty on Others.
This divergence leads to the nat
ural inquiry whether the vociferous
crowd of delegates who thronged the
convention hall in Chicago are to
be regarded as authoritative; or
whether the teachings of such
as Garfield, Arthur,
Allison, Henry Wilson, Folger,
Mccullough and host of other such
WORTHLESS still have prevalence.
President Garfield says, al am for a
u form Of protection that leads to
free tndo," our Chicago hoodlums
dare us 10 touch our war tariff list
on pain of flooding the country with
free whisky. This discrepancy in
republican counsels is causing
damaging perpleXity in the present
campaign.
