Grain Fields In the Metropolis.

The last census does not mention
grain raising as one Of the industries
Of the metropolis, but there is, never
the less, field of grain waving At Two
Hundred and Eleventh street, near
the old slab of broWnstone that for
many years told the traveller that
New York City was twelve miles to the
southwark. A block distant, two CEN
tury-old scythes were recently un-
earthed in the foundations Of an
ancient house, in whose debris we're
found trappings belonging TO the
British officers of the time of the
Revolution, while adjoining the grain
field on the north is the old "Nagle
Burying Ground" and to the east
ward the Nagle house or the Century
House" built when George Washing
ton was boy of four years The
trend of building northward suggest
the probability that the present grain
field may be the last that will ever be
seen on Manhattan Island, and the
growing of grain within the city limits
is certainly II notable circumstance
although small market gardens are not
rare. New York Letter.

The ship railway scheme of Captain
Eads was abandoned because sufficient
financial backing could not be OBJ
tanned. There is no doubt it was
feasible, as is proven by the Chignecto
Ship Railway, connecting Chignecto
Cay on the Bay of Fundv, in Nova
Scotia, with Bay Vert, on the Gulf of
St Lawrence. 1t is l7.OG miles long,
and the gauge is the standard, feet,
8 - inches. At each end of the line
there are hydraulic lifts capable of
raising vessels of 1000 ton burden
forty feet to the level of the railway
above, along which, on 10 wheeled
trucks they are drawn across the is
thmus, by powerful locomotives. This
short railway saves from 500 to 700
miles of exposed coast voyage.

for a cheap tombstone, but he I'M
fortunately got into the hands of the
police. He has been charged with
stealing a stone pillar cap, value 3s.,

same Road, Peckham. He was APP
pretended by Police Constable
Watts, who found at his house
the stone, which had been
broken into two pieces. One of the
pieces had been carved into small
tombstone, and the officer produced,
on piece of paper, an inscription
which the prisoner had intended to
carve upon it-viz. In memory of
Annie Eliza Hawkins, who died March
2, 1894, aged 20 months. =
Those little feet that could not walk
Have climbed the golden stairs;
Those little lips that could not talk
Have joined in Heavens prayers. 1854"
The prisoner admitted taking the
stone, and the magistrate, dealing with
the case as one of wilful damage, fined
him los. and 3s. value, or five days.

advanced, and the workers are happy at the
