THE BEST RorTH.

While for two weeks past the Centrt
Pacific Railway. otherwise by far the
best of the present routes across the con-
tineut. has been blocked by snow IN the
Sierras, there is, we believe, not single
point on the proposed extension OF the
Union Pacific through Lincoln County
where snow has fallen to depth sutli-
Gent to entirely stop even wagon travel.
In fact the actual work of grading has
hardly been interrupted. The same
amount of water has fallen here as in the
North; but it has been so proportloned
between rain and snow, 1.-The cold has been
so tempered and moderated by our more
southerly latitude-that, save by the
foods in the extreme southern portion OF
the county, no serious damage has been
done. Undoubtedly the best and most
profitable of the many transcontnental
routes that are now used or are hereafter
to be made, and there will be many
more made-will be through the County
of Lincoln, great heretofore in her min
eral product, great now only in extent
and undeveloped resources; but soon to
be the leading county in the State in
population, wealth and general prosper
ity.

TO THE SPELLING CLASS.

Stand up, we spoilers, now and spell;
Spell phenakistascope and kneli
Or take some simple word as chilly,
Or gauger, or the garden lily.
To take such words as syllogism,
And Lachrymose andsynehronism,
And Pentateuch and saccharine,
Apocrypha and celadine,
Lactiferous and eecity,
Jeiune and homeopathy,
Paralysis and chloroform,
Rhinoeeros and paehyederm,
Metempsychosis, gherkins, basque,
Is certainly no easy task,
Kaleidoscope and Tennessee,
Kamschatka and dispensary,
Dipthong and erysipelas,
And etiquette and sassafras.
Infallible and ptyalism,
Allopathy and rheumatism,
And cataclysm and beleaguer,
Twelfth, eighteenth, rendezvous intri-

And hosts of other words are found
On English and on classic ground.
Thus Behring Straits and Michaelmas,
Thermopylae, Cordilleras,
Suite, hemorrhage, jalap and Havana
Cinquefoil and ipecacuanha,
And Rappahannock, Shenandoah,
And Schuylkill, and thousand more,
Are words some prime good spoilers miss
In dictionary lands like this;
Nor need one think himself scroyle
If some of these his efforts foil,
Nor deem himself undone forever
To miss the name of either river,
The Dneiper, Seine or Guadalquiver.

A WHALE BREAKS A SUBMARINE
TELEGRAPH CAALE.

On September 9th fault broke out in
the Santos. Santa Catharina section of the
Western and Brazilian Telegraph
Company's system Of cables, but through
which signals were exchanged up to the
moment Of cutting by the repairing
steamer Vicking. The latter, while en-.
gagged on the repair on October II, pick
ing up toward the fault in 81 fathoms,
and about 70 miles north from Santa
Catharina, brought to the surface a
monster dead whale, measuring about 80
feet long, intact, with the exception Of
the upper part 1.-THE BELLY, from which
all the skin had been worn or eaten away,
leaving only small portion on the neck
and tail; the cable parted at the fault
with the strain put upon it in lifting,
and the carcass of the whale being re-
lieved of the downward pressure, rose
like torpedo, inflated like balloon, a
portion on arriving at the surface of the
water bursting and creating most
offensive odor, SO that every one was
thankful when the cable was cut, and the
obnoxious object drifted to leeward; the
tail of the whale had two complete turns
round the shank, and three or four across
the fan or fiat part. 1t would be in
teresting to know how long this creature
had thus eenimprisoned; from theadvanc
edstage Of decomposition thrust have been
there some considerable time; its sbody
was covered with barnacles, andlsome
even on the white part, where the skin
had disappeared.
It is worthy Of note that this cable
was laid in 1874, and with the exception
Of one repair by the contractors in 1875
has never since been touched, and is as
perfect as the day it was laid. lex.

How To Salt Calves

A farmer named Hilton hired very
inexperienced boy to help about the
place. One morning he told the lad to
60 and salt the calf over in the pasture.
The boy took about quart of salt and
rubbed it all over the calf, working it in
to the hair A gang of colts scented the
salt and got after the calf They licked
the hair all off the calls back, and tried
to lick the hide off too. The farmer
tried to catch the calf to wash it, but the
creature, thinking he wanted to lick, too,
kept out Of his way, The boy calf, and
farmer are all unhappy. The colts are
the only ones that got any fun out of it.

A Transpacitic Cable.

The Colonies and India, of London,
says that 'the breaking of the Austria
liam cables and the consequent cutting
of Of those colonies from communica-
ton with the outer world for several
days emphasizes in the strongest possi-
BILE way the necessity of constructing an
alternative cable across the Pacific ocean
between British Columbia and Sydney
or Brisbane. The lesson will no doubt
not be lost upon our Australian cousins.
It is said that her majesty's government
has decided not to share in the guaran-
tee the companies require in order to eff
feet the proposed reductions in the exist
ing cable rates, and it was hardly ex-
pected that it would do so. It might,
however, view with greater favor the
laying of the new line, and the subsidies
the colonies are now asked to give for
perpetuating for time the monopoly of
the old line, with assistance from Can
ada and from the imperial government,
would, it is believed, permit of arrange
ments being made for the construction
Of the Pacific cable, and probably insure
a reduced tariff by both lines"

England to Take q Census.

- bills for taking the census next
ye,,4' lave been published. For the most
part the arrangements are much the
same as they were nine years ago. The
CENSUS day is fixed for Sunday, the 5th
CT April. The particulars to be asked
for in England and Wales a3o the name,
sex, age, profession or occupation, condi-
ton as to marriage, relation to head of
family and birthplace of every person
who abode in any house on the night of
the census day, showing also whether
any such person was blind or deaf and
dumb or imbecile or lunatic. The only
new question to be put is one recon-
mended by the census committee-name-
ly, where the occupier is in occupation
of less than five rooms, as to the number
of rooms occupied by him.
One particular that was asked for at
the last census and is now omitted, in
accordance with the committees recon-
mendation, is the frank" of each person.
In Scotland the matters to be inquired
into are the same as those in England,
except that the new one does not relate
to the number of rooms occupied, but is
whether any person speaks Gaelic only,
or both Gaelic and English. Neither in
England, nor in Scotland, nor in Wales,
it will be observed, is any question to be
put as to religion. In Ireland, however,
the religious profession" of each person
is, as before, to be asked for.
The other information to be obtained
in Ireland includes the sex, age, birth
place and occupation. However, there
is provision in the Irish bill that the
constabulary are also to take an account
of all such further particulars as by the
instructions Of the lord lieutenant's chief
or under secretary they may be directed
to inquire into.-London Times.

Preserved In a Salt Mine.

In salt mine near Hermannstadt, in
Hungary, which had for many years
been full of water and was visited by
tourists on account of its great depth
and its repeating echo, recent heavy
rainfall raised the water to an extraor-
dinary height. Recently a number Of
dead bodies appeared ON the surface,
and they were taken out, with con-
siderable danger to those who undertook
the task. They were found to be the
bodies Of Hungarian Honveds, 800 of
whom fell in the battle of Viz Akna on
the 4th Of February, 1s49, and instead
Of being buried were thrown into the
salt lake of the mine. The bodies are so
well preserved that the wounds which
caused death may be seen quite plainly.
Two of the bodies are headless.
