RAILROADING ON THE ICE.

Tracks Laid Every Winter Across the
Frozen st. Lawrence.
The communications between the two
shores Of the st. Lawrence river at
Montreal are made, as is known, by
means of the Victoria tubular bridge,
constructed some thirty-fvc years ago,
which is the largest in the world, the
metallic span being six thousand five
hundred feet long.
But from this point to the Atlantic,
for a distance of one thousand miles,
there is no other bridge and all the rail
roads established on both sides of the
st. Lawrence have necessarily to cross
it. The company of the railroad that
built it levies a right-Of-way toll of ten
dollars per car and eight cents per pas
senger.
To avoid payment Of these moneys
the S. +. railroad company had the
idea, some ten years ago, of construct
ing in winter communication between
the two shores by means of railroad
established on the ice. Every winter
the work is done over again, and it
amply pays for the outlay. The length
of this ice road is about two miles, be-
tween Hochelaga and Longueil.
The railroad is easily built. The track
leaves the main track parallel to the
shore, and then curves gradually in
such a manner as to be perpendicular to
to it, and, then, again, before it strikes
the other shore, it curves anew SO as to
become nearly parallel to the opposite
side, and then it is connected with the
main track on this shore.

HOW 1T HAPPENED.
How a Lean Durham Man Promoted An
other in the Late War.

A complete history of the late war will
perhaps never be written. Many hu-
morous and pathetic incidents occurred
which will not be chronicled in the an
nails of the great conflict waged thirty
years ago.
We have just secured chapter of IN.
written history in which a well known
gentleman of Durham is the central fig
ure. Col. Captain Whitfield one of our
most peacable and law abiding citizens,
who is at present engaged in raising
chrysanthemums, ker-thank -you-mams,
and manufacturing smoking tobacco was
a brave and war like trooper during the
conflict referred to.
The history is that the captain volun-
teered at the beginning of hostilities, and
fought all the way from Drewry's Bluff
TO the battle at Molasses Gap and any
where else where fighting was going ON.
Now comes the unwritten history: The
captain, as everybody knows who can
see, is not fat man-not quite as fat as
Colonel Albright at any rate, and the
captain was always selected to take the
lead in battle and to go on high places to
spy out the enemy. In this way his gall
liant figure became known to thousands
of bluecoats, particularly the sharp
shooters who could not plug the captain,
though they tried ever so hard. Finally
the commander in chief issued a circular
to the effect that any soldier who should
touch the captain with bullet should be
promoted.
And it happened that on the Gath of
March 1864 or there abouts Lieutenant
Shootwell after many attempts did give
the captain a small flesh wound at
Cbickey- gar, and he was Immediately
made general Such is the story that
reaches us this year of grace 1898

The little poke bonnet with the Jose
phine plume on top is the novelty of
the midsummer tinery now being boxed
and expressed to the fashionable water
ing places. 1t is not at all likely that
the scuttle OF lace and straw and green
and white tips will take; the shrewd
modistes are cautious, and the trim
mings are lightly placed, to be trans
ferred in a second to a more desirable
shape. But at country houses there are
always some gentlew0men with fancies
for quaint styles-not fashions-and it
is from among them that the orders will
come, if they come at all, for the Jose
phine scuttle and plume. THE scuttles
