In the United States there are seventy
lie railroads which report an average in
earnings during August of S per cent,
over the earnings of the corresponding
month in 1882. This is significant from the
fact that the August railroad earnings of
1882 gave a total of 10 per cent, increase
over those of 1881, 23 per cent. o\er
those of 1880, and 81 per cent, over
those of 1579. Thus for the four years
the increase of August earnings has
been 30 per rent.
It was also asserted that diphtheria
was increasing slightly hut steadily in
the North Atlantic and eastern cities;
It is about equally prevalent in this
countrv and in Germany, and much
more so in these countries than in Great
‘Britain. Typhoid fever caused 3.7 per
cent, of all deaths; malaria!.fevers 2.2;
scarlet fever 1.5; pneumonia 3. 4; mea
sles 0.2 and whooping cough 18 per cent.
The mortality in the English cities con
tinues unusuaiiv slow.
The coining report of the sen »te com
mittee appointed at the last session to
investigate the agreement made by the
Sioux commission promises to add an
entertaining chapter to the lengthy
history of Indian affairs. The commit
tee find that the Indians were,in nearly
every case, coerced into signing the
agreement, and that they strongly ob
ject to giving up their land. After care
fully examining the whole matter, a
unanimous report has been decided on,
recommending that, the agreement in
question he not ratified.
The trial of O’Donnell, the slayer of Ca
rey, is likely to be a notable one, for
length at least. The fact of a criminal
being tried at a place as far from the
scene of his crime is an unusual one,
except in the cases of mutineers an 4
murderer **t sea. Those who sympa
thize with O'Donnell and the number is
a large one, are trying to secure the ser
vices of Charles Russell, M. P., to take
charge of the defense. They are san
guine of acquittal if only eminent coun
sel can be obtained. It is doubtfu
if O’Donnell can escape.

1884. In 1812 it was computed that its
return would be about September 3,
1884 or within eight months of what
proves to be the actual time. When it
is considered that this orbit is based
upon observations made seventy years
ago, which were neither numerous nor
widely distributed at the time, its ac
curacy is remarkable. The period of
the comet is seventy-one years, four
months and ten days.
» writer in the London Journal of
Science dwells upon the advantages af
forded in Germany to technical education
and asserts that Chemnitz has already
undermined the glove trade of Notting
ham, and that in the opinion of many
m the hoisery interests of the same town
are being slowly undermined. The in
habitants of Chemnitz cannot compare
either mentally or physically with those
llof the English manufacturing centre,
but they have far superior eductional ad
■ vantages. In Boon there is quite an En
glish town springing up, inhabited al
most entirely by English families who
reside there for the purpose of giving
their children a practical education.
Offical inquiry has now apparently
well established that one hundred thous
and lives were lost by the recent earth
quake and volcanic eruptions in Java,
History does not record an equally cal
amitous convulsion of nature. The
earthquake of Lisbon on November 1,
1755, caused the death of thirty thous
and persons; and the great earthquake
I that occurred in Sicily in 1693 killed just
double that number. Another formid
able earthquake was that of Jtiobamba
in 1797, which swallowed up fully forty
thousand human beings, and the mor
gH tality resulting from the two shocks in
Calabria in 1873 was exceedingly great
though there seems some doubt about
the exact figures. The most foimidable
volcanic eruptions alone, mentioned in
history, as beyond all doubt the great
eruption of Vesivius described by
Plinv, which buried Herculaneum and
Pompeii under the layers of ashes and
covered them for centuries.
|Tbe fact that the volcano and the eaith
quafce combined to heap ruin upon the
unfortunate people of Java, explains the
exceptional mortality caused by the
recent terrible visitations, which in de
structive force and intensity may be
to the violent cataclysms that
labored the surface of this plan-
HB&b prehistoric times.

“Don’t weigh enough.”
“Hasa bad eye”
“Eyes all right, but ears too small.”
“ Yes, handsome ears, but the nose
spoils her.”
“Legs all stocked up.”
“Legs all right, but feet bad.”

knew what he wanted in a horse there
