Or WORK.
Upon the Wheeling and Harrisburg Ter
minals.
TWO HUNDRED MEN At WORK.
Almost Ready to Begin Tunneling Through
the Hill.
ONE STONE ABUTMENT COMPLETE.

Work upon the Wheeling and Harris
burg terminal system and the beginnings
Of the union railroad bridge, is progre sing
very satisfactorily, this mild weather, and
much progress has been made since our
last report.
With continuation Of the mild winter,
and the final passage Of tie pending ordi-
nance through Council, 10 satisfactory
shape to all concerned, there will be a
marked impetus given to the work of cor
structiOn, and results will be more sppsr-
emit to the casual observer.
Up at the Top mill end of the bridge,
the pier up on the side Of the hill is about
ready to receive the coping, and that
placed in position, this particular piece Of
stonework will be completed. The face of
the hill, for the vast portal of the tunnel
at this pier, has been cleared of, and with
the completion o. the "Pswiky" side
track, force Of zen will be put to work
vigorously at the opening into the hill,
thus commencing what will he the shorter
OF the two tunnels.
At what will be the east end Of this
shorter tunnel, in Jonathan's rayine, the
foundations for the stone culyert across
the bed of the run, are completed down to
a depth of about sixteen feet, and stone
are being taken up there from the cliff
back of the Whitaker mill 70 construct the
superstructure.
At the east end Of the longer tunnel, On
the creek, the fret pier of the temporary
wooden bridge, designed to facilitate the
removal of earth from the tunnel, is up,
and spiles are being driven between this
pier and the end of the fill on the PENN
sula. This bridge will be fifty-seven feet
above the bed OF the creek, and the pie-
now in place looks like a young church
steeple. An excellent foundation for the
permanent bridge at this point has been
secured, on SOLID rock, and the railroad
officials are lamenting that they are not
putting in stone work there, while the g. cd
weather lasts.
Inc railroad people are stll working
considerable force along the creek, in the
vicinity of the Whitaker mill, taking of
the face of the big stone cliff, to make room
for the road-bed, and sre very anxious to
commence work in Twentieth street, but
have been delayed to an exasperating ex-
tent by the slow progress Of their ordi-
nance in Council. About two hundred
men are at present engaged in working, at
the various points named, and this num-
Der will be doubled aud tripled as soon as
possible.

develop agricultural interests. The Ques-
ton may be asked very seriously, What
has our State done to avail itself Of the
munifcence Of the general government
To what extent has it supplemented the
Efforts Of our national government to de-
velOp the agricultural interests Of this
State and to educate our farming classes?
Why should not this State, ss other States,
receiving the land grant Of 1SS2, make
provisions that the farmers of this State,
as in other States, receive the benefits of
scientific work in agriculture? Why not
have an experimental farm and farmers
carefully trained for the business, Just as
a. We have educated doctoIs, lawyers and
preachers for their respective callings."
All Of which is very true and worth the
consideration of West Virginia pgricul-
turists.
eft our farmers Gays Mr.. MYERS, "
do not look after it, profit by its work,
and support it, there is no class of people
10 the State, for which it isintended, and
a further continuation Of the appropria-
ton on the part of the government would
scarcely be justified. Il is the desire Of
the Director "he adds" to come into
close relations with the farmers, to find
what are the mos, pressing needs, and IS
far ss is in his power, to concentrate the
energies Of the Station-workers upon those
subjects. Ii will always be his aim to
bring the scientific work OF the Station
into actual bearing upon the practice
questions of agriculture, trusting that
the work upon such problems as are
undertaken may lead 20 results that will
prove OF advantage 70 the farmers"
TIE project would unquestionably lie eff
great benefit not only 10 The farmers but
to the State a; large, for, as Mr.. MYERS
says, the wealth OF our farmers is, and
mus; always be, the foundation Of our
prosperity.
After outlinying at some length the
wide scope OF the Station, Mr.. MYERS
concludes MS report rs follows:
We have not the slightest doubt that we
can make the Experiment Station Of last
ing benefit 10 the farmers of our State upon
the plan of work outlined, and ask all to
have patience and give the authorities Of
the Station time TO overcome the difficult
ties presenting themselves at its very
organization. Buildings can not be erect
ed, lands secured, experiments Inaugural
ted and completed, scientific workers Sc
lected and employed, and all Of the many
problems connected with organ
izatiOn and equipment solved, in few
days. Ii will take time, patience, for
bearance and encouragement together with
material aid, to accomplish the work.
Will our farmers, our patriotic citizens,
cur legislators, and above all, the prees Of
the State, give rs that support that we re-
quire TO make our work success?

TIE FurURE oF AFRICA.

The Secretary Of the American Colonial
ton Society has recently collected aud
published some very interesting facts
about the division Of Africa and its oocups-
ton by European colOnists.
England has already seized 100000
square miles, not counting Egypt; Ger
many has 74O, 600 square miles and claims
200, 600 more; France has 100000 square
miles and is rapidly acquiring territory;
Italy is helping herself to land in Abyssi-
mia; the British East African Company is
making progress and the Congo Free State
IS forging ahead.
European capital and enterprise are
rushing into Africa and the results have
been very satisfactory. In eighteen years
800, OOO, 900 worth OF gems have been ex-
ported. British trade with the country
amounts to Sl25,OOO,OOO annually and
that Of France 500, 100000 Telegraphs
and railroads are overrunning the regions
colonized by the Europeans, and the pro-
posed railroad by the Livingston Falls is
expected to develop Central Africa Not
more than 4. 100000 square miles now re-
main unattached to some foreign power.
The colonists have found that the eli
mate in many parts Of the country is de-
lightful, while the soil is productive, and
the trade and industrial opportunities
are rsmunerative. They sstile the race
question in short order by killing natives
when they are troublesome, and employ
ing them, without wages, when they are
psaceable
Since the emancipation Of the slaves in
Brazil, many negroes from that country
are going to Africa and paying their own
expenses. This movement leads the secre-
tary to ask if the United States is to have
no part in the development Of Africa. 1t
strikes the secretary that hundreds of
thousands of intelligent and well-tO-do
American negroes would find in the rev
Africa not only a fatherland, but a field
that would suit them better than any
other in the world.
Africa, developed and ruled by the
whites, is destined to play an important
part in human affairs. In the course Of
another generation her food products and
various industries will come in competi-
ton with those of other countries, and the
result may have an important bearing upon
our political economy. II is altogether
within the bounds Of probability that be-
fore the end of another quarter Of century
our manufacturers and cotton and tobacco
planters will be clamoiiog for protection
against their competitors in Africa. Events
move rapidly these days, and the colOnizA'
ton Of this long-neglected quarter of the
globe Will soon be an established fact
