BOARDING RAILROADS.

THE longest railroad is the Canadian Pacific.
 MEXICAN contractors are importing thousands of Chinese laborers to work on railroads in course of construction in that land.
 THE railroad cars which traverse Man. haitian Island over their hundreds of miles of tracks last year carried the enormous number of over four hundred million of passengers who paid five-cent fares.
 A CORRESPONDENT of railroad publi- cation has found that out of more than four hundred railroad accidents in the United States in 1890 over fifty per cent. were caused by drunkenness, disobedi- ence of plain orders or the most reckless carelessness.
 THE Great Western Argentine rail- road is about to try an experiment of burning crude petroleum in its engines. It has contracted with Mendoza com pany to take one hundred thousand cu- bic meters of crude petroleum at twelve dollars meter.
 THE number of employees on all the railroads of the country amounts to seven hundred thousand. There are fifteen hundred and eighteen different railroad corporations, and the total mileage of these railroads is one hun- dred and fifty-six thousand four hun 1red miles.
 Tho Laxy Mans Pipe.
 The most curious pipe of the year is the lazy mans pipe. As its name ex- presses, this is pipe requiring the minimum of exertion to use it. Natur- ally, it is Qf somewhat complicated design consisting of tube to hold the tobacco, and stem running crosswise of this for the mouth. The pipe is held by passing the two first fingers of the hand through two rings, one on either side of the bowl stem, and the mouth- piece being placed in the mouth, the pressure of small valve that lies just under the thumb sets the ingenious mechanism inside to work, and the smoke is forced automatically into the mouth,

EYTT KING EdLdHiT4.

II cannot truthfuly be said that the death OF
King Kaakaua will eclipse the gayety OF ma
tons There is no certainty. even, that 1t VIII
eclipse the gayety of Hawaii, where indeed there
has not been an extensive supply Of mirth IN
recent years. At the same time, it is proper
20 acknowledge that this Occidental and acci-
dental monarch has generally been friend to
everybody except himself. At intervals ne
has evnced n diSqueting desire to govern as
well as reign. and more than once he has been
compelled to submit to a cmtallment OF MS
prclogatives few years ago he came near
TO being the most conspicuous victim OF 4
revolution which he had done much to pre-
cipitatc. and his seat upon the throne OF the
KamchamchaS has lately depended more upon
the convenience Of foreign investors than upon
the loyalty of his native subjects.
Notwithstanding the burdens which have
been Accommodating on his shoulders during
nearly all the years OF his reign, the King prob
ably departed with regret from a world which
he understood well enough for his purposes
His principal ambition was to be secured against
creditors so mportunatc as to make his chosen
pursuits prccariouS A general pressure of OBJ
legations did not worry him 50 long as his i'm
mediate necessities were NupIbltu' put u p'uh''
him exceedingly to lay down full hand three
Of kied, or even two good pairs, for the mere
want Of droSs with which to test the nerve of
4 prospcrous and sanguine adversary. II, in
HAMMER DAYS. it was his royal pleasure to en-
counter the yicSStudcS or a jackpot with an
impassivo countcnancc and a king high, surely
that was an amiablc weakness rather than Il
moral obliquity for his motto was noblosSe
obligcr and he felt that it became monarch
to keep faith with card Of his own rank as
an acknowledgment of his belief in its powers
of attraction.
The King is dead; long live the Princess
LiliuoIalana. We cannot say that we think
her lot happy one. for if her nomination TO
the throne is ratified by tho people and the
Legislature her reign is sure 70 be embarrassed
and harasSed while otherwise she has not much
to live for save the prospect of a revolution.

vet the Democratic party of New-York' com
posed of about one-half its voters, allows thls
man to ride il a-Straddle, and to jerk it hither

4 SEARCHING INQUIRY DEMANDED.

, committee of the House is charged with
the duty Of asccrtJining the facts In connection
with q "pool" said to have been formed FOR the
nurposc of profting by the rise in the price OF
silver following silver legislation. The allega-
,ion is broadly made that members OF Con-
GROSS are or have been directly interested IN
this "pool" and that their votes were cast IN
some instances at least, not 50 much with the
view of voicng the sentiment OF the com
munitieS they represent rs to swell the prohtS
