900 of men. Without the help of railways
the rebellion of the southern states could
never have been put down, and two great
standing armies would have been necessary.
BY the. railways, aided by telegraphs, it IS
easy to extend our Federal system over an
entire continent, and thus dispense forever
with standing armies
The moral elfest Of this upon Europe is
great. but its physical effect is still greater.
American railways have nearly abolished
landlordism in Ireland, and they will one day
abolish it in England, and over the continent

Prizes Of the Ocean.

Sperm whales, the monsters Of deep water,
are tine richest prizes OF tho ocean, yielding
spermaceti from their brain cases, ivory
from their lower jaws, rich, yellow oil from
their sides, and Cwhen diseased the almost
priceless ambergris from their entrails. Next
in value comes the right whale, the inhab-
itant Of the Arctic, in whose mouth whale
bone is substituted forivory. The upper jaw
is furnished with this substance, a great pile
of which lies high on the beach at Herring
cove. It is, perhaps ten inches across where
it joins the jaw, and reminds one more of a
great comb with tangled hair attached than
anything else. The "tsethn are closely set,
and are three feet and more long, tapering
to point and terminating in rope like fila
ments.
While the sperm whale feeds ON squid at
the bottom Of the ocean, the right whale
speeds along with open mouth, engulfng
huge quantities Of water and greater or less
quantities Of the animalcules and small fish
on which it subsists When his cavernous
mouth is full he closes it, blows out the water
through his spout holes, and with tho aid Of
his tongue swallows the little creatures
which have become imneshed in the curious
attachment Of his upper jaw.-Cor. Balti-

But this style will not last long; it viii get

able to manufacture buttons. Two years ago
the style was to wear novelties, and the but
tons used on dresses never cost less than fifty

In the narrow valley where the Amazon
takes its rise among the Peruvian Andes, a
woman was recently burned to death because
the populacc believed her to be witch. The
town of Pataz, which has thus distinguished
itself, lies on a well Travelled valley road, is
big enough to figure ON the maps and in the

west the intelligent citizens must be almost
able to see the railroad that has struggled
into the neighboriug valley north Of them.
As the stone age of human existence, how
ever, still holds sway in some parts of the

pect that witches will everywhere take back
