NEW FERRY AT SAN FRANCISCO.
Letter to The Iron Age.


To come down TO civil life and matters connected
with the pursuits OF peace may mention that
large terryboat for the AtchisOn Topeka and
Santa F'e Railroad has also been launched. She
Is 70 feet long and 81 feet broad with depth
of 1Il2 feet She has horsepower of 1000 and
speed Of 10 knots. novelty in her construction
is featherinS paddle wheels. They are so built as
to feather in either direction. according to which
end IL is intended to run first. This vessel
is indicative Of the fact that San Francisco has
now two competing lines of overland railroad and
that at no distant day she may have another
The merchants here do not, of course, expect that
either line shall run at figures low that II will
be at a loss. They nevertheless think that two
roads will bring more business than one and win
multiply the points with which business NAV be
done. In fact, there is very friendly feeling now
subsisting between the merchants and the tran
sportation magnates and each recognizes that the
prosperity Of the other is essential TO his own wei
fare. The talk at present is that Jim Hill know
ing that the Oriental trade be diverted
from San Francisco is about to add to his rail
road property by building line to this city to
reach it by way of Marysville. m this way he
hopes to share in the trade with China, Japan
and other Oriental countries and Australia which
is steadily the increase, and which with the end
of the present unpeasantness is bound to assume
much larger dimensions than ever

reason Of the missionaries To the missionaries
China is indebted for those textbooks OF modem
science which now taught in the eadIag na-

another civilization which creates them doubt
of the perfection OF their own: they have caused
the cream Of Western literature to be translated

given the more intelligent Chinese a new and
wider outlook But than all by their zeal
and Industry. by their very blunders, even, they
have brought aboUt-they. the n1issionaries-the
present fermentation which is going on through
the Empire, a fermenta ton which is bound 10 pre-
