Berlin, July 2S.-The Hamburgische
Correspondent says that thousand
birds, belonging to various pigeon-fy-
ing societies, were released on the 18th

In the neantime the king played on

nose dropping lower toward his chin as
he lost one rouleau after another to

back into his pocket with an absent

Sire, the marshal is indisposed. He
has begged me to present his excuses

and as he spoke 1 saw De Gie's jeweled
fingers trembling, and his cheek had
lost all color.
This is sorry news to spoil a gay

Another Alpine Railroad.
From the Railroad Gazette.


Next year will be opened, 1t is hoped, the
railroad up the Gornergrat. which starts at
Zermatt, 5.297 feet above the sea, climbs
through rock cuttings and a spiral tunnel
two and one-half miles to the Riffelalp,
7.260 feet above the sea, and then goes
sharp up to the Rifflelberg, 1,733 feet high
err Thence it follows the Gornergrat. and
reaches a station just below its summit.
10.2O2 feet above sea level. where on one
side the mountain falls perpendicularly to
the Corner Glacier. The whole length of
the road will be six and one-fourth miles.
Most of the work is done by Italians, but
on the higher levels only Swiss, accus-
toned to live at great elevations, could
work at all. and they could do only about
one-third as much men at the foot of
the mountain. No mountain railroad i'm
Europe now open reaches so high an ele-
walton, but the Pixies Peak summit sta
ton is nearly 1000 feet higher. and its
lower station is higher than the summit
of most Alpine mountain railroads, and
300 feet higher than Zermatt.
