OUR NEW EARLY MORNING SCHEDULE
TO THE SOUTHWEST.

One of the interesting and valuable results
the new mail schedule which The TIMES has
succeeded in establishing to Lynchburg and
the Southwest via Burkeville is that the pa
pers sent to Charlottesville via Lynchburg
will reach their destination nearly one and Is
half hours earlier than by the present early
train Of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad.
There is this further advantage, that for all
points between Lynchburg and Charlottes-
Vile much greater difference in favor OF the
schedule is effected. and for Warrenton con-
nection is made which can put the papers in
that town at 2:1O instead Of 1880 p. NJ as at
present.
There are further and still greater adj
vantages which may be derived from this
early mail if the Chesapeake and Ohio can
make with its No. 81 q connection at Lynch
burg between the Norfolk and Western ar
irving at that point at 100 A. NJ. and the
Chesapeake and Ohio west-bound train
which now leaves Clifton Forge at $50 A. NJ.
This would give the earliest possible de
livery of the Richmond papers at Glasgow.
Buchanan and other points between
Lynchburg and Clifton Forge as well as
Buena Vista, Lexington and at all points on
the Chesapeake and Ohio west of Clifton
Forge. and presents 'cOnsummation de-
voutly to be wished" and one that is not

WONDERS OF COREA,
Seven Remarkable Things to Be
Seen in That Country,

Seven Remarkable Things to Be
Seen in That Country,
Corea, like the world ofthe ancients,
has it's "seven wonder" Briefly STAT
ed they are as follows, writes CORES
pondent of the St. Louis Republic:
First, a hot mineral spring near
K Klm-Shantao, the healing properties
OF which are believed to be miraculous.
No matter what disease may afaict
the patient, a dip in the water proves
efhcaciOus. ~ -
The second wonder is two springs
situated at a considerable distance
from each other; in fact, they have
the breath OF the entire peninsula be-
tween them. They have two peculiar
tiles. When one is full the other is al
ways empty; and, Notwithstanding
the obvious fact that they are con-
nected by a subterranean passage, one
is OF the bltterest bitter and the other
pure and sweet. ...
The third wonder is Cold Wave
cave, a cavern from which a. wintrv
wind perpetually blows. The force of
the wind from the cave is such that a
strong man cannot stand before it.
A forest that cannot be eradicated
is the fourth wonder. No matter
what injury is done to the roots ofthe
trees, which are large pines, they will
sprout up again directly, like thephoe-
nix from her ashes.
The fifth is the most wonderful of
all. It is the famous ''hoating stone"
1t stands, or seems to stand, in front
OF the palace erected in it's honor. It
is an irregular cube of great bulk. It
appears to be resting on the ground,
free from supports on all sides, but,
strange to say, two men at opposite
ends OF rope may pass it under the
stone without encountering any OBJ
stacle whatever.
The sixth wonder is the s'hot stone"
which, from remote ages, has lain
glowing with heat on the top of a high
hill. ~ ~ -
The seventh and last Corean wonder
is a drop Of the sweat OF Buddha.
For 80 PAGES around the large temple
in which it is enshrined not a blade Of
grass will grow. There are no trees or
flowers inside the sacred square.
Even the animals decline to profane a
spot SO holy.

REvEALEDIN a DREAM.
How a Soldiers Father Recovered
the Remains Of His Son.

I 3 = 81
the Remains OF His Son.
One Of the bloodiest battles fought
on Georgia soil during thelate war was
that Of Resaca, says the Atlanta, Ga.
Journal. Among the many patriot
youths who took arms in defense Of
southern independence was the eight
teen-yyear- old son OF Jethro jackson
OF Griffin, Ca, and the brave boy met
his death at the battle of Resaca. He
was dearly beloved by his comrades,
and they gave him a little better bur-
ial than usually falls to the lot OF
those who die upon the field Of bat
tie. With rough boards taken from
the bridge near by they made him a
rude coffin, and ten6erly and lovingly
placed him under the sod.
1t was some time in the spring OF
1866 that Jethro Jackson went to
Resaca to look for the grave of his
son. He wished to find the remains
and to take them to Griffin and enter
them in the family burying ground.
The comrades who laid young Jack
son to rest gave the father the descrip-
tion Of the spot where they had buried
him, telling him about the rude pine
coffin made from the boards taken
from the bridge. After many DAYS OF
tireless search Mr.. jackson failed to
locate his son grave and returned to
his home in Griffin. % 5Gs g.,
A few nights after his return he
dreamed that his son came to him and
pointed out the spot where he was
buried. The dream was like vision.
tie saw his son standing beside his bed
and heard him say: =
"Father, / am buried under a mound
which was thrown up by the Yankees
after I was killed. You will know the
mound when you see it by the poke
berry bushes growing upon it. Go and
take me up and carry me home to
mother"
So strong an impression did this
dream make upon Mr.. jackson that
ne, returned at once to Resaca, taking
with him one of the comrades who had
buried his son. The mound was found
just as described in the dream, and the
pokeberrles were growing upon it. An
excavation was made, and few feet
below the earth the ugh pine coffin
was found, and in it were the remains OF
young Jackson. He was fully identi.
fed, not only by the coffin and the
shoes, but by the name which was on
the clothing.

Particular About Their Bread"

IA piece Of knackebrod and a glass
Of wine is now the thing in Boston
just before going to bed,' says Bos-
ton man. ut is a crisp and dark
colored cake Of bread, about the size
and shape OF a pieplate. There is
hole in the middle Of it two or three
inches across. 1t is made by Swed-
ish baker. on Boylston street. He
says it is much in use in Sweden be-
cause OF it's keeping qualities. There
they make up enough at one time to
last three or four months, and, BY
means OF the hole in the centre, thev
string it on long poles that are hung
just below the ceilings. There is no
yeast in it, but there is plenty OF
ground caraway seed, / should Judge
by the taste. A year ago nobody
ever heard Of it, and now the Swedish
baker has all he can attend to making
it. Dyspeptics use it more or less, for
they are continually trying to find
something new that is nutritious and
yet wont hurt them. / know a man
who pays seventy-fve cents a loaf for
his bread. 1t is compounded Of all
sorts Of queer things, and has to be

good deal better time than we in the

should not wonder if that hat that,
you give should come back a jeweled
coronet, or if that garment you hand
out from your wardrobe should mys-
teriously be whitened, and somehow
wrought into the Savior's own robe,
so in the last day he would run his
hand over, and say, II was naked,
and ye clothed me- That would be
putting your garments to glorious uses.
But more than that, Ihave preached
the sermon because I thought in the
contrast you will see how very kindly
God had dealt with you, and thought
that thousands of you would go to
your comfortable homes, and sit at
your well-filled tables, and at the warm
registers, and look at the round faces
of your children, and that then you
would burst into tears at the review
of Gods goodness to you, and that
you would go to your room and lock
the door, and kneel down and say: 90
Lord, I have been an Migrate; make
me thy child. O Lord, there are so
many hungry and unclad and unshel-
tered today, I thank thee that all
my life thou hast taken such good
care of me. OLord, there are so many
sick and crippled children to-day, I
thank thee mine are we'll, some of
them on earth, some of them in heav-
en-. Thy goodness, O Lord, breaks
me down. Take me once and forever.
Sprinkled as I was many years ago at
the altar, while my mother held me,
now consecrate my soul to thee in a
holier baptism Of repention tears.
For sinners, Lord, thou cam'st to bleed,
And Pm sinner vile indeed;

The Glass Of Men Who Rushed for
the Diggings, and the Routes They
Took.
The widest excitement and activity
Immediately prevailed throughout the
United States, and every city and vii
lage throbbed with a feverish impulseto
rush to the diggings. The difficulty and
expense Of reaching this terra incog-
nita restrained thousandsfrom the at
tempt, so that only those who possess
ed natural courage or adventurous
proclivities, or whose local attach
ments were weak, actually made the
great plunge into the unknown expert
ence which awaited the gold hunters
of '49.
The world has never witnessed so
motley and promiscuous a throng in
pursuit OF a common object as sprung
into life simultaneously in the winter
of 1S48-49 and turned their course
towards the gold fields OF California.
Men Of all ages, clergymen, professors,
doctors, lawyers, farmers, traders,
mechanics, laborers of every degree,
Adventures, thieves, gamblers, and
murderers, jostled one another in the
struggle to gain access to some Of the
avenues which were supposed to lead
to the desired goal.
The t'Argonauts" had several routes
among which to select. By thosefrom
the New England and the Middle
States the Cape Horn route was gener-
ally preferred; those from the South
ern States chose the Isthmus ofPana-
ma or Nicaragua or Mexico; while the
hardy pioneers Of the West, who had
become accustomed to prairie travel,
started in their covered wagons, and,
following buffalo trails, broke the
paths which in a few months We're

bones Of their beasts and themounds Of

sought to invest their capital in the

considerable commercial Importance,
and any practical substitute for such

received. A Portuguese scientist is
said to have discovered an excellent
