a Graveyard for tho Race.

Again and again this old poetic fancy
of the earth as one great cemetery,
buried several times deep with dead men
and women and children, has been re-
futed by figures. But great is error and
will.prevail, ,sunless the truth be we'll and
steadily upheld.
Let US then take to the arithmetic
again. And again. I beg you, my friend,
whether you talk to Sunday schools or
not, to do with this arithmetical problem
for yourself, OF wish your children, in
exact figures. Itmust suffice here that I
give you round numbers.
The population of the earth is now
about 1900 millions. Suppose the hui
man race to have existed for six thou
sand years, and to have been always as
great ss now. In six thousand years
you have sixty centuries. In each cen.
tury you may count three generations of
mankind, or 1S0 generations in all, each
being q generation Of 1900 millions.
Now lay out cemtery for one genera
ton. 1t will be a huge estimate to give
TO every man, wothan and child grave
fse feet by two, or ten square feet. You
want for your graveyard then $4,000
million square feet of ground. A square
mile contains something less than 2S
million square feet. You want then
graveyard not IS miles long by 10 wide
for your whole generation. Now multi.
ply this by.ls0 and you have your burial
ground for six thousand years of man.
kind. That is, strip of land 1900
miles long by IS miles vide will be am.
pls. In other words q cemtery contain:
ing hundred thousand square miles
would be sufficient for the entire human
race to lie side by side.
The estimate which I have given you
of continuous population is obviously
enormously large. The estimate of the
size Of each grave is very large. A
strictly correct estimate would reduce
the size of the required cemetery more
than one.half. But enormous as it is
you could lay out your burial ground for
all men who have lived on earth, 30 that
they could lie side by side in Arizona, or
lin California, or you could lay it out in
Texas large enough to accommodate the
race for 5000 years past, and also the
race for 5000 years yet to come, all
sleeping in the soil Of that one State Of
this Union.-Dr. n. C. Prime, in ~ Y.

Horrors of the Rail.

PEORIA, I'LL, Feb. AT 6 30 last
night, as an Ohio, Indiana aud Western
freight train started over the bridge span
ming the river at Bridge Junction, the
first span of the iron bridge sank, precip.
itating the engine, tender and three cars
into the river. Three men were in the
cab-engineer Neville, fireman O'Brien
and head. brakeman Lewis, all of Urbane.
The fireman and brakeman were buried
under Che engine in eight feet of water
and the engineer was pinned in the cab
with his head just above water. As soon
as the wreck was noticed, the banks of
the river were lined with people. They
found that the engineer was standing on
the dead body of the fireman, but fasten.
ed in such way that he could not be ex.
tricated. Passengers and others worked
all night trying to get him out, applying
hot water to keep him from chilling to
death, and pouring brandy down his
throat but be finally died of cold and
exposure. The engine was one of the
heaviest made, weighing 100 tons. 1t
stands upright against the second pier of
the bridge.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4.-Owiug to
the heavy-rains and washouts West of
the Dalles, Oregon, and also in the Will
liamette Valley, there has been no tele.
graphic communication with Portland,
Oregon, or with points on Puget Sound
since yesterday morning. A telegram
from The Dalles states that construction
train with gang of laborers went through
8 bridge sixty-eigbt feet high on Sunday.
The engine passed over safely, but the
tender fell on the caboose and killed ten
men and injured sixteen. A train with
three doctors left for the scene OF the
accident, which occurred about. mile
and half West of Cascade Locks. The
bridge was rendered unsafe by the heavy
rains of late.

Beware Of Dogs.

"Beware of dogs" So saith Holy
Writ, and every newspaper in the South
may we'll employ itself in expounding
that pithy text. One, the Greenville
Is. C) Daily Ne,os. has recently done
it quite effectively in the following
style:
"The Georgia Legislature has defeated
a Law taxing dogs. The afectionate
devotion of the Southern legislatures for
the rural Southern cur dog is thing
always to be wondered at and never to
be explained.
"The average country dog-and for
that matter, the average town dog, too
is the most thoroughly useless of created
things. He is not ornamental, be is not
musical, he is not good to eat, and 10
occupation suitable to his talents has yet
been devised BY human ingenuity. He
consumes constantly and produces only
Aeas and hydrophobia and more or less
modified and eccentric duplicates of
himself. Where burglary in night time
is almost unknown crime bis services as
guard are not valuable, and it may be
readily noticed that the less man has
to tempt thieves The more dogs he keeps
to guard it.
"Bat the cur stands in the way Of the
sheep industry as potently as if he had
the lions strentb, courage and beauty.
But for him farmers would occasionally
enjoy mutton for dinner, the annual
wool clip would diminish the outgo for
wooden goods, aud We might have mod
est WOODEN mills here and there to furniah
home markets and employ home capital
to the general advantage. The logic is
irresistibly against the dog, but the
legislature is irresistibly with him.
Therefore do we continue to luxuriate
on imported hog meat and send forth our
ducats for imported WOOL"
The merry satire of the foregoing
article does not conceal, but really
emphasizes, the seriousness of the situa-
ton.
The United States buys up immense
quantity of wool from foreign countries
annually, every pound of which could

A White Child In Captivity,

Winnipeg, MANITOBA, Feb. 4.-When
Lord Stanley, Governor General OF
Canada, and party were here last fall
they visited the Backfeet Reserve, near
Macleod. A very pretty little white
child of 5 or years was noticed playing
about with Indian children. On inquiry
it was learned from an Indian interpreter
named "Winnipeg Jack" that the girl,
who belonged to him, had been captured
in the United States during an Indian
raid.
Lord Stanley tried 10 induce the
Indians to part with the child, but they
would not. The story got into the pa
pers and thus information reached the
American government. Correspondence
followed, and sufficient information vas
obtained to make it apparent that the
little girl is the daughte of some Ameri-
can officer who was killed in battle with
the Indians.
According, the other day an American
officer arrived at Macleod under instruc-
tions from his government to recover the
child at any cost. The Macleod Gazette
'.This may not be particularly simple
operation, as the Indians will probably
refuse to give her up. The police will,
no doubt, do their utmost to gain the
object for which the officer has visited
Canada, and with their assistance there
is every reason to hope that the little girl
will be recovered and saved from the
.rrctched fate which awaits her should
abe remain with the Indians"

Saved By q hog.

A week or 80 ago several of the daily
papers contained accounts of how four
boys we're saved from drowning by dog
belonging to two of them. suppose
every one who reads the words I have
just written, unless he read the story as
the papers told it, will imagine a big
dog plunging into the water, grasping
a boys clothing in his teeth, rescuing
him, and then going back for another.
But he did better than that. He saved
them all at once, and almost at the ex.
pense of his own life. This is the story:
The little Smith boys gent to Sunday
school last Sunday afternoon. After it
was over they started off with three
other boys to have good time. They
tramped to have good Time. They
tramped to an old mill on the Bronx
river, and were romping about when the
dog Nit, :abig black Newfoundland, ran
up and Joined in the fun An old boat,
twelve feet long, was fastened by rusty
chain to a stake, and all the little fel-
lows except one climbed into it, and
were amusing themselves BY rocking it,
when the chain broke and the boat
drifted out from the shore. Hardly more
than:ifty yards down The river the water
splashes over the. dam, ard falls twenty
feet on a mass otjagged rocks. There
were no oars in the boat and nothing
that would serve in their stead. In the
middle Of the river the boat swung lazily
around until the prov pointed towards
the dam, and then it began slowly to
drift down stream.
Nit had stood on the shore with ears
and tail erect, watching the boat drift
away. When the boat began to move
towards the dam Nit:bccame i'll at ease
and ran barking and whining up and
down the bank. The boys were thor.
oughly alarmed by this time. too, and
began to cry out for help. Nit sprang
into the water, and beat his way with
.lusty strokes toward the boat, now dan.
-gerously near the dam. He swan right
in front of the boat, and tried to-. stop it
with body, but the current swung the
stern around. Finding that.this wouldn't
do, he swan around the boat twice, and
then sprung up on the gunwale and
seized it.with his teeth. This lifted him
SO far ont ofthe water that be couldn't
swim. Then he let 60. his hold. He
then swam.close to the boat, and, sticking
his head over the gunwale, looked i'm,
ploringly into little Oscars face and
whimpered. Oscar misunderstood, and
thought; Nit was tired and wanted to-
come in for rest. He seized the leather
strap that was buckled around the dogs's
neck, and tried to lift him in. But Nit
instantly dropped into the water, and,
pointing his head toward the shore, began
swimming for all he was worth. Grad
,uallg the downward course of the boat
was stopped. Itswung around in answer
to Ni.'s powerful legs, and slowly drew
near the shore.
Just before the boat grounded, poor
Nit sunk exhausted in the water. The
boys had to jump ont, and pull him
ashore and finally carried him part Of
the way home BY tying their coats
together for a bed to carry him on. He
recovered sufficiently TO walk, and is now
as we'll as ever.
