at Rome; ne knelt before the old gentle
man, kissed his hand, and was wonderfully
impressed with the simplicity and cordiality
of the pontiff. The satisfied interviewer
tells of his success in this way: "'But,'
said the holy father, why are you, too, not
in New York in order to describe the fes-
tivities that are about to take place there -
The modest reporter said there were more
able men who would attend to that. The
Pope then inquired how long it would take
to cross the ocean; and the representative
of the greatest journal in the world said:
"From ten to fourteen days, holy father,
depending on the state of the Winds" and
the interview, at which many others were
present. soon after ended.

GODS HEADLIGHT ON THE TRACK IN JERSEY


CITY.


The second Of the series Of revival meetings for
railroad employees in Jersey City was held yesterday
afternoon in the freight depot OF the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company, under the auspices OF the Young MEMS
Christian Association. The attendance was larger
than on the previous Sunday The gather
ing comprised not only railroad officials
and employees, but there visible

tendent Of Ferries, and many ladies' choir, made
up OF singers from OF the city churches chanted
the hymns, with accompaniment on small organ
loaned by the Young MEMS Christian Association


The proceedings were opened with prayer by Lang
SheaG, the railroad apostle, Of Cleveland The hymn
'Hold the FortN was then sung with great earncsness
and spirit the crowd heartily joining in the chorus
Taking advantage Of the enthusiasm thus evoked
Mr. sheaif struck up the hymn Jesus
to the assembage. Mr. Charles Woosey, Jr, Assistant
Superintendent Of Ferries then arose. and testified
the happy promptings OF tho spirit within hlm since
the opening of this great revival 'Le all hearts he
cried out, ''bo opened, and let Christ enter How
many young men there loungng around tho streets
on the Sabbath when they ought to be in church." Mr.
Woolsey continued briefly in this vein and considering
that 1t was his maiden effort as revivast he made
very favorable Impression. The assemblago was next
addressed by the Rev, Mr. Halloway of the Grand
street Reformed Church, after which the hymn
"Almost persuaded now TO beleyen struck up.


Mr.. Sheaf then delivered farewell address. He
called all who persuaded in the spirit OF tho

After the doxology the meeting dispersed. Contri-
buttons in aid OF the revival among railroad men have
been literally made by several railroad companies

whose line, according to Mr. Sheah the Gospel
speeds its course every day from Buffalo TO Cleveland

dollars Meat and groceries and coal

for a long series of years, and SO reached
middle age with fair balance in the
bank, we shall then find ourselves untitled
to enjoy the pleasures that money will
buy. We shall have kept the dusty road
so long that when we finally turn aside
into the groves and the brook side, our
eyes will be in no condition, to see the
beauties around us. Is it not better to
live while we do live, to give some bright
ness and color to our daily life, even it.,
by so doing, we fail to increase our 9TH
erwise might? Is economy quite worth
the sacrifice of everything that makes life
other than a duh and dismal drudgery ?
A wise expenditure Of money for the good

SUNsHINE.-Froma an acorn weghinga
few grains, a tree will grow for Il hundred
years or more, not only throwing of many
pounds of leaves every year, but itself
weighing several tons. If an orange
twig is put in large box of earth, and
that earth is weighed, when the twig
becomes a tree, bearing luscious fruit,
there will be nearly the same amount of
earth. From careful experiments made
by different scientific men, it is an ascer-
tanned fact that very large part OF the
growth Of tree is derived from the sun,
from the air and from the water, and very
little from the earth and notably, all
vegetation becomes sickly, unless it is
exposed to the sunshine. Wood and coal
are but condensed sunshine, which con
tain three important elements, equally
essential to both vegetable and anima
life-magnesia, lime and iron. 1t is the
iron in the blood which gives them the
durability necessary to bodily vigor
while the magnesa is important to many
of the tissues. Thus it is that the more
persons are out of doors, the more healthy
the more vigorous they are, and the Longer

Place tobacco-pipe in such posi-
tiOn on the edge of the table that if it
were left unsupported it would fall to
the ground. A poker may now be
suspended from the pipe in such way
that the weight of the poker will be
sustained by the pipe. The looped
string by which the poker hangs
should be as close as possible to the
bowl of the pipe, and the end of the
poker must fall under the edge of the
table. The centre of gravity in this
case is below the centre of suspension,
and the pipe consequently supports
the poker.


2. If little thread be well soaked in
strong solution of salt and water and
then dried and tied to a ring, not
much larger than wedding ring; you
may apply the flame of a candle to
the thread, which will burn it to ashes,
and yet it will sustain the ring. The
cohension of the fibrous particles of
the thread having been destroyed by
the action of the flame, the ring is
suspended by the cohesion of the par
ticles of salt.


3. Wrap piece of clean writing
paper about the cylindrical handle of
the poker, and the paper may be held
over the flame of the lamp or candle
for some time without being in the
slightest degree injured or burnt; now
wrap similar piece of paper around a
cylinder of wood and hold it over the
flame, which will burn it almost in
instantly. This experiment shows
the difference between the conducting
powers of metal and wood, the heat
being conducted away from the paper
by the iron almost as rapidly as COM
municated, while wood, being bad
conductor, takes fire almost immedi-
ately.


4. Suspend poker by two strings
and insert the eXtremities of them in
the ears. A blow given to the poker
will produce, through the medium of
the strings, asound equal to that of
great bell.


This shows that the vibrations given
to the metallic mass Of the poker by
the blow are much more readily COM
municated to the ear by the strings
than through the air. Thus, on the
same principle, the boiling of a kettle,
inaudible in the air, may be distinctly
heard, even from the beginning, by
resting one end of the poker on the
vessel and applying the other to the
ear. So, also, the beating of watch
placed at one extremity of a long
beam of timber may be heard through
the timber at the other end of the
beam, by one holding his ear to the
wood, although it is inaudible in the
air.


5. Place in a small glass bottle hot
water near the boiling point, colored a
| deep carmine with cochineal; place
the same in the bottom of glass jar
of cold water. Immediately the light,
hot, colored water in the phial will
be displaced by the heavier cold water
in the jar, and will ascend in beauti-
full crimson clouds to the top of the

The Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany yesterday, through its President,
Sydney Dillon, submitted formal
proposition to compromise all existing
differences between the company and
the Government. The proposition is
| prefaced with an expression of the pro-
found regret of the Directors at the
existing differences between the Gov
ernment and the company, and the
wish of the latter to do everything in
their power to reimburse the Govern
ment so far as they can and as speed
lily as may be, on every dollar adj
vanced from the National Treasury.
The company also express keen
sense of the disadvantages they incur,
both in popular esteem and pecuniar-
lily, by being in conflict with their
great benefactor, the General Govern
ment, and their desire to establish
such relations of mutual trust and
confidence as will best secure the de-
mands of the Government aud at the
same time promote the prosperity of
the company. The proposition is as
follows: The Union Pacific Company
proposes to pay into the treasury of
the United States $500,000 per annum
each first day of July, beginning with
1875, and to continue the payment for
twenty years, and thereafter on each
first day of July the payment shall be
$3.50, 900; and the money so paid shall
be held by the Secretary of the Treas
ury as sinking fund to the credit of
the Union Pacific Company, specially
devoted to the extinction of the Gov
ernment mortgage-thei interest there
on to be reckoned at per cent. per
annum, lawful money, payable semi
annually, and the accruing interest
each half year to be carried to the ac-
count of the sinking fund, to the
credit of the Union Pacific Company;
and this annual payment by the
company shall be continued without
delay or default until the amount to
the credit of the company in the
Secretary of the Treasury shall be
equal to the full amount of the Gov
ernment mortgage. reckoned at simple
interest to the same date. The Gov
ernment lien now existing is to re-
main as security for the discharge of
their obligation, to be cancelled when
the sinking fund thus created shall
equal the mortgages of the Govern
ment reckoned at simple interest, at
which time said sinking fund shall be
transferred to and shall vest in the
United States; and this payment shall
be i'm full discharge of all obligations
due from the company to the Govern
ment. The Secretary is asked, should
this proposition meet his approval, to
lay it before Congress and ask their
action upon it,
