LOCOMOTIVE SPEED.


Forty Miles an Hour as Fast as Engineers
Want to Travel.
At the engineers convention held IN
Cincinnati recently, during the discus
zion of a paper that was then before the
convention, Mr.. E. w. Strong, inventor
of the celebrated Strong locomotive, pre-
scented some very interesting facts re-
gardlng the speed of locomotives. Among
other things he said: %s-sSs
at Is question in the eeoaemy of
railroads whether we will ever want to,
or eyer can, make any considerable runs
of sixty TO eighty or more miles<an hour.
Wind pressure begins to figure as an i'm
portant factor of resistance when you
get to seventy miles or more :, At sixty
miles the wind pressure is thirty pounds
to every ton of train, and it is not ad-
visable to try to run, trains at suoh
enormous speed. Over the Erie road,
with train of eight cars, 40 miles was
made with eight stops and FIVE slow
downs, at the average rate of sixty
one and half miles an
hour, and to keep the average
UP we at times made seventy
miles an hour. But the average of ex-
press-train travelling is thirty and q
fraction miles per hour between New
York and Chicago, and of course they
would have to go at the rate of sixty
miles an hour at times. Over the Penn
sylvania road between New York and
Philadelphia the average is forty-seven
and q fraction miles per hour, so you
see that they must do some running at
something over sixty miles. But when
one comes to count the resistance of wind
pressure TO be oversome, the matter of
eighty or ninety miles run is only for a
test for special purposes. Forty miles
an hour is as fast as most of US want to
travel ~ p "a

New YORK, May lit is not believed
the Tampico division of. the Mexican
Central will show any net profit the pres
ent year or until the bar at Tampico
is removed. The man line earnings may
be swelled somewhat by the new division.
With the passage of the silver
bill it is believed Mexican dollars will
be worth ninety cents, and on this basis,
figuring on last years. business, it would
add between $500, 200 and 5000 1000 to the
company receipts. Last year the sur
plus of the. Mexican Central was $780,
600. With favorable conditions, the sur
plus of the present year is not unlikely to
reach over 81 200 900.

TOLD OF FAMOUS GREAT MEN.

TIE King of Sweden is reported re' gently to have remarked: 'I am truly sorry not to be able to spend half day incognito with Prince Bismarck at Friedrichsruhe. Persons whom esteem and honor so highly as I do Prince Bismarck become doubly dear to my heart when they step aside from the greater part of mankind"
 PRINCE BIsMARcK's father was not overjoyed, apparently, when the future Chancellor was born. This is tho grim announcement he made of the event: "I have the honor to announce to my friends that yesterday my wife was de- livered of a son, and excuse them from offering congratulations. Ferdin- and von Bismarck"
 ON tho evening of the first days battle of Shiloh, which had been a de- feat, the quartermaster came to Gener- al Grant and told him that if he was again defeated on the next day he could not transport the troops (about sixty-nye thousand in number), if it was necessary to cross the river Grant asked him: "How many can you handler" "Ten thousand, !" replied the auartermaster. "Wellp said Grant, quietly, Eff we arc defeated, you will be ablo to carry all that are left"
 A YOUNG lady one day requested Moltbe and Bismarck to write few lines in her album. Tho marshal took up his pen first and wrote: "Falsehood passes away, truth remains.

Justice in Holy Rus,ia.

"Demi- trieff gs. Demitrieff, " called the justice Are plaintiff and defendant related?" "Io be sure" answered the plaintiff; the laborer is my father. The justice was amazed at this answer, and tried to persuade the litigant son to drop the case against his father. But the son would not listen to it, insisting that he demanded justice, and that the judge had no business to take the part of the defendant because the latter happened to be the plaintiffs father. The case was tried in due order and judgment was found in favor of the defendant The plaintiff, however, was determined to have his father punished, and ap- pealed from the decision of the court The case was tried again in higher court and the judgment of the lower court was sustained.
