Busy Manhattan Island.

1t is doubtful if there is a buster
spot in the world of the same size than
Manhattan Island. With the year end
ing with September the elevated rail
roads of New York city carried more
than 10, geo, 900 passengers. And that
is a passenger traffic only four and a
half million less than the whole
traffic of the German empire
for the same time, with its
6, 1000 miles of roads, In France,
where there is more travel, the record
is POS, 273, $40 passengers carried over
her 20, la miles of road, which is
about Is per cent. more than went up
and down in New York and wandered
to and fro in it during the same time.
In this country during the same time
there were carried 42S, 225, 513 passen-
gers over the las, 912 miles of road
but in this were included the 10, 900,
600 of New York's intramural record.
So it appears that this traffic was about
40 per cent. of the traffic of the whole
country, and it was carried on 32i
miles Of track. indianapolis News.

Nero as an Orator.

Nero, the Roman emperor, is per-
haps best known by his celebrated per-
Torrance on the Tyre during the burn
ing of his capital, although this legen-
Diary episode is not mentioned by such
historians as Tacitus. NJ. HolleauX,
formerly of the French school of
Athens, who is making excavations
"a la Schliemann" in Bpotia for the
French government, has found a stone
in the sanctuary of Apollo Ptoios, or
the apollo of the Internal Regions"
which presents the Roman tyrant in
another light. The stone has engraved
upon it what NJ. Holleaux calls "a gen.
uine speech of Nero's," that is to say,
one which was not composed for him
but uttered probably extempore when
giving liberty to the Greeks. Nero
plumed himself, of course, on his YER
satility, and believed that he was an
''all round" genius, able to compose,
to make speeches, to act, and TO sing.
The discovery of NJ. Hollo,uX may,
perhaps, prove that the tyrant was Q
real artist in words at least, for, &C.
cording to the learned e%Xcavator, the
fragments of oratory found on the
stone were couched in strong, sonor
Gus and emphatic Greek. -Londor

SWEARING SHEEP AGAINST GOLD.

The London Agricultural Gazette tells
how sheep are fixed for the winter in a
bleak mountainous district known as
Blubberhouse Moor. After stating that
smearing seems to be necessary, the A.
G. adds concerning these sheep: "They
never taste artificial food, and beyond a
little hay in the severe snowstorms they
and the grouse eat off one table, so that
MS far as regards mountain and all star
walton sheep keepers, what nature fails
to do, man must endeavor TO supply.
One pound tar to one pound of butter,
with a little olive oil soap, and a little
buttermilk added, all boiled together,
make the old fashioned sheep salve, and
/ am told there is no better. To these
mountain flocks this smearing is quite
necessary, for the salve not only protects
the poor sheep from the wet, but if there
should be any scab or other skin disease
existing this salve will completely cure
t." We agree with Our contemporary
that a good "smearing" inside witt
abundant and suitable food is about whaI

A few days ago a New Haven citi-
zen discovered that he was the owner
of five young kittens, which the
mother had carefully secreted in an
empty sugar barrel. A few hours
after making this discovery he found
that he had money enough to buy a
bushel of potatoes, and he accordingly
ordered the grocer to deliver that
quantity of early rose at his house.
The following morning the citizen
visited his cellar to look at his kittens.
He was shocked to find that the gro
GERS man had emptied the bushel OF
potatoes into the barrel where the
kittens were. He turned out the po-
tatoes for the purpose of removing the
bodies, and found that the entire cat
family had slept as comfortably under
the sixty pounds of potatoes as they
would under a roll of cotton batting,
The little animals appeared somewhat
anxious to take a lunch, but other
wise were not bit worse by reason OF
their experience. Yesterday the citi
zen concluded that he would kill three
of the kittens, and accordingly he
secured a pail of water and, after put
ting the intended victims under thu
influence of chloroform, placed then
in the water for the purpose of max
his surprise a few hours later when h,
found those kittens quietly sleeping
in a spot neal the pail, whore tn

Mast Trees.

In the provincial charter of 1851,
under which the Plymouth colony
and the province of Maine were united
with Massachusetts, it was provided
that all trees of the diameter of twen-
ty-four inches and upward, twelve in
ches from the ground, growing upon
land not heretofore granted to any
private person, should be reserved to
the crown, for the furnishing of masts
for the royal navy.
A surveyor general of woods was
appointed, to see that this provision
OF the charter was carried into effect.
Near the coast all white pines of suit
able dimensions were marked with
the broad arrow"-three cuts through
the bark with an ak, like the track of
a crow. This was the kings mark,
and Mr.. Goold, in his Portland in
the Past" says that within his re-
membrance trees bearing it were still
standing, and were pointed out as
curiosities.
Long after the revolution had oblit-
Grated the royal authority, men who
had been taught in boyhood to re-
spect the kings mark hesitated to cut
such trees.
I'm telling a mast tree" says the
same writer, lit was necessary to bed
it, to prevent its breaking. This was
done by cutting the small growth,
and placing the small trees across the
hollows, so that there should be no
strain upon one section more than
upon another, when the monster pine
struck the ground"
The mast was hauled out of the
woods on one strong sled, whether in
winter or summer, and so many oxen
were required that the hind pair were
often choked in crossing a hollow,
being hung up in their yoke by the
pulling of those ahead of them.
a mast hauling was a great event,
and everybody within walking dis
lance came to see the show.-Youth's
Companion.

Timber Land Claims in Oregon

Animportant question, affecting the
right OF married women in the state
of Oregon to take lands under the
United States timber act of June 3.
1878, is now being considered, and
will SOON be decided by the secretary
Of the interior. The late commits
sioner of the general land Office, Mr..
Stockslager, decided that married
women in Oregon could not take up
land under that act, basing his de-
cision wholly on the ground of the
provisions of the Oregon statutes in
relation to the rights of married wo-
men in reference to holding and trans
ferring real estate. An appeal from
this ruling was taken to the secretary,
the appellant being Delilah Stuckle.
The case in the ordinary course would
not have been reached for over a year,
but as many married women in Ore
gon have made application to pur-
chase under this act, United States
senator Mitchell moved that secre-
tary Noble advance the Stuckle case,
which has been done. Mr.. Mitchell
regards the decision of Stockslager as
wholly untenable

WANTED-AN ACCIDENT.
A Necessary Adjunct to Assured Railroad
Prosperity.

The Historian is sending hundred.
of papers in every direction calling at
tention to Astoria's railroad prospects
and inducing the drift here of capita
to invest. In this regard a Sunday
suggestion occurs. Let the directori
of the Astoria and South Coast road
arrange some day to have an accident
on the road. 1t needn't be very baC
affair; just a plain ordinary accident
ditch the locomotive, or break a car
or have a little S215 collision, or some
thing that way, so that it can be tele
graphed to listening world: "Acci-
dent on The Astoria and South Coast
Railroad; FUll Particulars Of The Oc
cnTrence.'
Nothing edvertise5 d railroad like
an accident. You take little rail
road or a big one that a good many
people never heard any thing at al
about, and straightway the whole 10,
100000 now on earth in this NatiOr
will know of its existence.
There's nothing ike it. Brass
bands are good: Autographs are no
to be despised: maps Of plats, dul!
lotted and blocked are great: boon
editions are immense, pamphlets anC
circulars are well nigh indispensable
real estate agents are as necessary as
nails in house: you can't get along
without men that run newspapers anC
the man who says "shh-h-" when her
is on: but for the boss advertisement
the ne plus ultra, the very thing that
Will catch and rivet and hold the at
tention of the North American race
with ideas in their heads and big idle
dollars 10 invest, in their pockets. a
well-managed railroad accident Is
above and beyond all compare.
Don't let it escape your memory
railroad doesn't stand for ace high
In the great game of life. till it has had
an accident.
What made the Erie road SO rich:
what put prosperity into the Pennsyl,
vania railroad? What raised all the
great railroads of the country TO the
present pinnacle of prosperity? ''Care,
full management, courteous treatment
shrewd arrangement" you may say.
Not much. These roads would still
have been unheard of, but for the MI
merous accidents occurring thereon.
Here Is the whole business boiled
down.
Nothing succeeds to-day without ad
vertising: the bigger the advertise,
ment; that is, the more people read it
the better it is; more people will hear
about the Astoria and South Coast
railroad by having an accident happen
on it than in any other way of putting
it before the eye of the public.
Therefore it is advisable, good bust
ness, yea, even necessary, that there
shall be an accident on the road.
Bring on your accident, and let it be
SO arranged that all the narrowing de.
tails be written up in all the rich and
varied resources OF the American
language and duly chronicled in the
daily press, the brief and fleeting but
potent abstract of the time, and the
mirror of the day.
