The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-

improve and enrich Wilmington, and a large
amount of the taxes which go to maintain
our city government is derived from the
Company and the employees connected with
it. Thousands of dollars are spent annually
in our stores, which if taken away would
seriously affect our welfare and prosperity
The statement that the Railroad Company
cannot remove their shops from this city is
great mistake. We believe they could do
so with advantage to Themselves though we
do not know that such an idea ever was en-
tertained by them, even if Council should
refuse to permit them to close certain streets
in order TO make a grand and much needed
Improvement. But we do think that when
they give such an earnest ofihcir disposition
TO confer benefits upon our city, that our citi
zens should meet It in as generous spirit.

located for those who would wish to spend
few months breathing the pure, fresh noun
tain air, instead Of trying to breathe the
heated atmosphere of some of the lower cities
in the valley. Four miles above this place
is the Junction House. which is kept BY our
little friend, E. NJ. Prime. You will always
find the latch string of Ned's door on the out
side. At this point of the road the trail turns

and intermediate mining sections. At tpresent
there are some seventy or eighty miners at
work in these different localities, employed
principally in placer mining. l think the day
is not far distant when there Will be some of

WEATHER FoRECAsrs.-The electric


telegraph is likely to render US hence


forth service which It has not until


now been known to be capable of. For
some time past it has been systematic
ally employed, in this country at least,
to transmit to one center meteorological
observations made at a great number of
widely scattered points, and TO transmit
from that centre predictions founded on
these observations but Father Secchi,
the famous Italian srraat, now informs
us that a line Of telegraph wires itself
constitutes better indicator Of certain
kinds of meteorological changes than
any other we as yet know Of. All per-
sons at all familiar with electric tele.
graphy are aware that currents other
than those proceeding from the batteries
employed are almost constantly passing
along all lines Of telegraph wires. They
are derived from eithet the earth or the
atmosphere, and are called "earth cur
rents" They are subject to great varia-
tious, which Father Secchi and some Of
his friends have for some time past been
carefully studying, with the result,
among Others, of finding thas whenever
the earth currents are more irregular
than ordinary, bad weather follows, the
degree OF the irregalarity of the earth
currents bearing always an exact rela-
tiOn to that of the sbCrminess Of the
weather which they rrecede.

The Philadelphia Enquirer says

large quantities with the tebaccO. When
thus prepared it is almost impossible to de-

How much expression can be given and ex-
changed by grasp of the hand or a glance of
the eye! The soft pressure of the hand is far
m ore sympathetic than words. An intercourse
with those we regard, bearing silent yet pow
erful evidence of that unspeakable love which
exists in the depths of our nature, is most elo-
quent when the tongue is silent. A warm
pressure of the hand can be understood by all,
young and old; the universal voice Of nature
needs interpreter. The power of love is
too deep and too sacred to be adequately ex-
pressed in words; being, in fact, foreshadow-
ing of that more spiritual communion which
will exist hereafter.
