 \ Hello, Neighbor Cardl Just tell 1ohr enquirer that according to the ssilsp land profile) of Portions of New E0sk and New England showing the tuShtes of the Duchess and Columbia X Connecticut Western Railroads. Oliver 1N. Barnes, Chief Engineer, 1S68," we Ga the following elevations above tide R2el: Hudson River at Newburgh o, Hppewell 26O. Cofin's Summit 662, Hsttsville 540, Bangall 435. Russell's 63mmitt s7O, Millerton 7l0. Ore Hill 80, LAkeville 700. Plum Road Summit sak Housatonic River 670, North Ca man on the Housatonic Railroad 67O.

Feeding Hills 250, B6Ston | Albany Railroad West oi Mittinsague) l6O.
 We think there is an apparent error in placing the Housatonic River and North usnaan on the same elevation, for the bridge over the Housatonic river is cer- tAinly lower than Union depot at Ca naan. But the route on the map shows thet the railroad runs south of Twin Lakes instead of going through the lAkss and possibly "Plumb Road Sum- , ut" was south of what is called Foley E dammit and that the railroad was sur vSyed to cross the Housatonic river at a i hf9h elevation south of the present toll [ bridge. Furthermore, it is surmised S that the figures on Spaulding's Summit were not correctly recorded on the map, : fearing at that time that the road would !, Aever be built if tue actual elevation oi tNat point were known.
 S On said map the route from Collins yills through TAriffville to Hartford is not shown; but . route from Collins 7 tille through Salmon Brook to Mitti. Heague is shown. also route from !, Collinsville through Unionville to Hart ford is shown.

General Gordon's Seal.

The seal which General Gordon used
on all the documents he signed while
shut up in Khartum had a history,
which is narrated in the Life Of
Chauncy Naples, missionary bishop Of
Likoma, east central Africa. While at
Cairo the bishop stopped at the house
Of a friend named Floyer, Of whom he
writes:
Floyer had seen a great deal of Gen
eral Gordon and showed me one very
interesting letter-the last he received
from him. The occasion Of it was inter.
esting. Floyer had volunteered to pre-
pare Gordon a seal with his name in
Arabic characters upon it. For this pur-
pose he chose an old coin, which he
partially melted and refashioned.
When the seal was completed, it was
found that two words that had been on
the coin were still legible. The words
were in Arabic and signified "The Mes
senger Of God" Gordon noticed them
and was much pleased, and in the letter
in question commented on them, saying
he prayed he might always remember
to be as the messenger of God to the
Sudan people.

A Pony's Intelligence.

A correspondent writes from Abbots-
bury to Nature Notes: 1.-THE other day
when we were having lunch we heard
a strange scratching sound, and then as
if some one were trying to turn the
handle of the door. Our housemaid went
and opened the door to see what it was,
and there stood the bakers pony and
cart. His master had left him in the
road while he went to the next house,
and the pony had turned round and
himself tried to open the door. OF course
we were much amused to hear what it
was, and the door was shut again. The
next minute came one loud, decided
knock, evidently from the door knooker.
THAT can't be the pony, we all cried at
the same time, rushing to the door, but
it was. He was standing with his front
feet OH the pavement, quietly waiting,
aud very pleased at his success. OF
course we gave him some bread, biscuits
and sugar as a reward for his clever
ness. He must have taken the knocker
IN his teeth"
