To RuiId the Road.

In a conversation with w. s. Pierce,
who resides at Ogden, Utah, we learn
that it is the general opinion among
the residents, that the Union Pacific
will build a route to the Pacific
Coast, via Eureka and Austin, and
that the railroad people are keeping
very quiet, because while connected
with the Central Pacific railroad in the
transit of passengers and freight, it
would not do to give out their inten-
tions, but as soon as they begin grad
ing, there would be no more object for
secrecy.-Austin Reveille.

1t is in new spot in the mine above

Although earthquakes are common
in Japan they are seldom violent. As
many as eighty-seven vibrations have
been noted in a single day. A month
seldom passes without shocks in some
part of the country, but they attract
little attention. There are, however,
authentic records Of several severe and
destructive earthquakes. In 679A A. D.
the island Of Kiu-Siu was visited by a
heavy shock, which rent the earth in
assures, one of which is said to have
been four miles long and twenty feet
wide. Kiu-Siu was the scene OF the
recent calamity, and it is noticeable
that the same phenomenon of the
opening Of the earth occurred in this
instance. Kiu-Siu is far less subject
to frequent shocks than the main isl
and Of Nippon, but they seem to
make up for their infrequency by their
severity. In 1902 the walls Of the cas-
Ito Of Yedo were thrown down and a
great tidal wave accompanied the
CONFUSION of the earth. In 1854 the
towns of Shimoda and Osaka were de.
stroyed, and in the following year
IA, OOO dwellings and 1,6OO storehouses
were FRUSTRATED in Yedo.-San Fran

Junk from Bsttlei1elsls.

A quarter of a century has elapsed
since the war, yet many Of the farm
ers Of Virginia are still realizing from
Yankee lead and brass quite revenue.
1t is the children of these farmers liv-
ing nearest the great battlefields that
bring to light most of the buried re-
lies OF the cruel past. Their tiny fin

hope Of adding to the family Golfer, un-

In strolling through this historic
town the writer came across q veri-
table old curiosity shop down by the
wharf. 1t is kept by an old junk
dealer, who, yielding to desire for a
glimpse at the latest curiosity, brought
light a big box which had just arrived
from the country that morning.
There, in reckless confusion, were bull.
lets, musket balls, old pieces of brass,
epaulets, sword hilts, buckles and but
tons, all battered and bruised and cor
roded by the earth in which they had
been buried for SO many years. This
box, the dealer said, would weigh
about $50 pounds, and was but one
of many that he was constantly re
ceiving.
From the midst of the debris but
ton was fished out upon which was in
scribed the arms Of Vermont free
dom and Unity, showing that they
must have belonged to some member
of the Ant militia that was mustered
into service, as the troops were after

These war relics come from the bat
tletields of Manassas, Culpeper

Bull Fighting.


It would. in the opinion Of some
not persons OF the most austere virtue,
but still people Of average morality
be a pity il the bull fights were to dis
appear from Spain. Humanity mus
disapprove Of it, but, none the less. i
is a piece OF picturesque barbarism-
q thing the tourist loves. Besides, in
Spain It is in its own house. It has
always been there. and, whatever the
preacher may say, it no more brutal
ICES the Spaniards-a naturally civil
and affectionate nation-than the
practice Of catching fish with hook
and leaving them TO die on the bottom,
Of boat or on river bank brutalises
the many estimable. nay, even lov
able, gentlemen who adhere to it.
Let us clear our minds of cant. The
bull fight at home and the bull fighI
abroad are two very different things
The mere fact that It is not natural Il
any country condemns its introduc
ton to that country. Those wh<
would bring it in act in defiance o.
the accepted traditions OF their owl
society, which is bad in itself. and
seeing what the nature OF the show is
they must be Indifferent to the inflict
ing or watching the inflicting Of pain
Those surroundings and that past
which, If they do not redeem, do q
least. to some extent, veil the rea
character of the show in Spain, canno
be reproduced elsewhere. What Cal
be imported is the torture or slaugh;e
OF horses and bulls, and the risk to tn
lives OF men, which, as the we'll in
formed know, is always greaC De
liberately to import these is, and mus
be, brutalizing in the last degrees. :
