that prisoners have been hogged and have

This caste prejudice enters into every

now IT Is WORKED.

The whole line of railway, over | 800
miles, is worked on the absolute block sys-
TEN. and we find that it employs numerous
experienced signalmen, who occupy 400
cabins. representing the control of $4,000
signals and 10000 levers. The whole
block system was constructed at cost Of
about Sl0,000,000, and 600 men are con-
stantly employed in keeping it in repair.
As A proof Of the great caution exercised
by the English railway companies, | would
state that the road between London and
Manchester. 1873 miles, has 159 separate
block sections and 3lS signals, so that
every care is taken for the safety of pas
sensers who ride on the rail; and Just
think, all this comfort and safety and a
speed of 80 miles an hour for one penny

There is an 'aristocracy' of intellect as
well as of birth, or money, and highly cul-
tivated people are apt to be disdainful of
every thinker as rich people are of the
poor. Yet lives are made noble, and the
world is made happier, very often, by sim
pie thinkers, to whom the refnements of
philosophy are unknown qualities.

THE COMPANY SHOPS.

The town of Crewe is to the London and
Northwestern what Altoona is to the Penn
sylvania Railroad. Ii is the great locomo-
tive and steel rail establishment of the road,
and the town is almost creation of the
railway. The vast establishment at Crewe
is said to be the largest of its kind in the
world. 1t was commenced in 1S43 and
has an enclosed area of lis acres, 40 OF
these being covered with buildings A
narrow. gauge railway traverses the whole
of the workshops, which are not only re-
markable for their enormous production OF
steel rails, steel sleepers and other railway
reauisites. but also for the building of the
great compound locomotives, which are
turned ont of the shop in great numbers.
| understand that the superintendent OF
these works is also mayor of Grew; If SO, he
must have his hands full. At Burton-on-
Trent, another station on this road, where
there are some thirty large beer or ale
breweries, there are nearly 20 miles OF
side tracks for the exclusive use of these
breweres. The Burton ale, it is claimed,
goes to all parts of the globe. If true,
what pity.

The question is asked, what is the diff
ference between worsted cloth and woolen
cloth? The answer is: Worsted goods
are composed of wool that has been carded
and combed, while wooden goods are made
of wool that has been carded but not
combed.

To every heart there is door,
With close drawn bolt and bar,
Forbidding entrance to its depths
To those who stand afar
To each hearts door there is d key
Somewhere concealed or lost
Well fashioned for its place and part.
With wondrous skill and cost.
This massive door with bolt and lock,
And stubborn rust fast bound,
Win never yield to human hand
Unless the key be found.
God never made a heart so hard,
Nor one 50 icy cold,
That some heart could not soften il,
And cause IL 10 unfold.
And though the life seem hard and stern,
And rough as life can be,
The heart wiz open wide its door
To him who finds the key.

Phenix Bonds.

The $15,000 bonds of the city of Phenix were bid in yesterday by the Rollins Investment company of Den yer at a premium of three quarters of a cent on the dollar. Considering that these bonds only bear per cent. interest per annum, it will be seen that the credit of this little Arizona city is first class It is compliment to the. progress, business prosperity and prospects of the capital city and it's energetic, enterprising citizens.
 This is the highest prlee over paid for Arizona bonds bearing such low rate of interest, and we feel that mon ey will be plenty to loan in this city one year from date, at 6 and s cents per annum. Our county and city are fast taking rank among the most pros porous communities in the entire southwest. The bidding for the bonds was splendid, many bids being ro- ceived and all were above par.-Ga zette.
