The estimated cost of tho work is $12,000,000. It is said to have tho approval of Secretary Blaine and Premier Macdonald, and would save 400 miles between Chicago and Liverpool. - - RAILWAY NOTES. ' The total net liability of the Union Pacific railroad to the United States government June 30, 1890, was $51,717,-50- The next international meeting of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers will be held at Atlanta, Ga., May 15, 1892. The reason why porters on parlor and sleeping cars are so generally anxions for tips lies, perhaps, in the fact that their wages range from $1 to $1.50 a day j only. t It is said that Alfred Palmer, chief en- - j gineer of the surveying party engaged j on a railway route from Labrador to Quebec, will soon report in favor of tho scheme. Tiio railroad express companies will, it is said, soon have a formidable rival in a double pneumatic tube between New York and Philadelphia, for the carriage of small packages. General Passenger Agent Eustis, of the Burlington system, says that the zone system of passenger fares, recently in-troduced into Hungary, would be im-practicable in the United States. The estimated cost of the proposed rail-way from European Russia to Vladiv-ostok, on the Pacific coast of Siberia, is 00,000,000 rubles, or about i'42,500,000. Surveys are at present in progress.

An owl was recently killed near e, Miss., that measured 4 feet i inches from tip to tip of its wings. It had two horns, and a face and head that resembled a bulldog. After some forty years of immersion in the water of the pool of Echoschacht, not far from Hermannstadt, several human bodies have been brought to the surface in a state of perfect preservation. In cutting a big cypress tree near Astor, Fla., a living alligator seven feet long was found therein. As tlie opening in the tree was not half large enough for the 'gator to get through, the presump- - tion is that it crawled in when quite young and lived on other animals and reptiles that sought refuge there.

The latest development in tho pnnf system is an automatic cof-fee tavern now on exhibition at Binning-- i ham. Tho purchaser drops in his penny and pulls out a knob labeled with tb drink he desires. Then, by pressing a tap, ho is able to draw the exact quan-tity. There are two plated enpa for the use of customers, and a second tap gives a constant supply of water for rinsing. Each reservoir of drink holds seven gal-lons, and tea and coffee are kept hot by an unseen gas burner. The automaton turns the gas out when the reservoir is exhausted, and displays a notice "Empty" in front. Iced drinks are to be sold through the same machines, which can also be utilized for the sale of sandwiches, pies and cakes. London Tit-Bit- s.

"On a single track road nothing under heaven could prevent a wreck, and Brown realized that before the rear lights of the passenger train were out of sight. Most men would have lost their heads at tho thought, but Brown dida't. He remained at his instrument and tele-graphed me as follows, 'Send wrecking train at once; trains 10 and 87 in colli-sion.' "I went out with the wrecking train at once, picked up Brown on the way, and found a bad smashup, sure enough though the engineers of both trainB had sighted each tother in time to avert a frightful catastrophe. Of course I had to discharge Brown, but if his foresight had been equal to his hindsight what a splendid railroader he would have made." Chicago Special Press Bureau. " Hindsight In Excess.

"rurns," and e rackets." 51 ifs Beighton shot divinely over ladies' distance sixty yards, that is and was acknowledged the best lady archer in Simla. Men called her "Diana of Tara-Devi.- " Barr-Saggot- t, paid her great attention; and, as I have said, the heart of her i mother was uplifted in consequence. Kitty Beighton took matters more calm-ly. It was pleasant to be singled out by a commissioner with letters after his name, and to fill the hearts of other girls with bad feelings. But there was no de-- i nying the fact that Barr-Saggo- tt was phenomenally ugly, and all his attempts to adorn himself only made him mora grotesque. Ho was not christened "The Langur" which means gray ape for nothing. It was pleasant, Kitty thought, to have him at her feet, but it was better to escape from him and ride with the graceless Cnbbon the man in a dragoon regiment at Umballa the boy with a handsome face and no prospects. Kitty liked Cubbon more than a little. He never pretended for a moment that he was anything less than head over heels in love with her; for he was an honest boy. So Kitty tied now and again from the stately wooings of Barr-Saggo- tt to the company of young Cubbon, and was scolded by her mamma in consequence. "But, mother," she said, "Mr. Saggott is such such a is so fearfully ugly, you know!" left the valley and little breezes got up in the deodars, and people waited for Miss Beighton to shoot and win. Cub-bon was at one horn of the semicircle round the shooters, and Barr-Saggo- tt at the other. Miss Beighton was bust on the list. The scoring had been weak, and the bracelet, plus Commissioner Barr-Saggot- t, was hers to a certainty. The commissioner strung her bow with his own sacred hands. She stepped for-ward, lroked at the bracelet, and her first arrow went true to a hair full into the heart of the "gold" counting nine points. Young Cubbon on the loft turned white, and his Devil prompted Barr-Saggo- tt to smile. Now, horses used to shy when Barr-Saggo- tt smiled. Kitty saw that smile. She looked to her left front, gave an almost imperceptible nod to Cubbon, and went on shooting. I wish I could describe the scene that followed. It was out of the ordinary and most improper. Miss Kitty fitted her arrows with immense deliberation, eo that every one might see what she was doing. She was a perfect shot, and her forty-si- x pound bow suited her to a nicety. She pinned the wooden legs of the target with great care four succes-sive times. She pinned the wooden top of the target onco, and all the ladies ' looked at each other. ' Then she began some fancy shooting at the white, which if you hit it counts exactly one point, j She put five arrows into the white. ' It was wonderful archery; but, seeing that her business was to make "golds" and win the bracelet, Barr-Saggo- tt turned a delicate groen like young water grass. Next she shot over the target twice, then wide to the left twice always with the same deliberation while a chilly hush fell over the company, and Mrs. Beighton took out her handkerchief. Then Kitty shot at the ground in front of the target and split several arrows. ' Then she made a red or even points just to show what she could do if she liked, and she finished np her amazing performance with some more fancy shooting at the "My dear," said Mrs. Beighton pious-ly, "we cannot be other than an all ruliug Providence has made ns. Be-sides, yon will take precedence of your own mother, you know. Think of that and be reasonable." Then Kitty put up her liitie chin, and said irreverent things about precedence and commissioners and matrimony. Mr. Beighton rubbed the top of his head, for ho was an easy going man. Late in tho season, when he judged that tho time was ripe, Barr-Saggo- tt de-veloped a plan which did great credit to his administrative powers. He arrauged an archery tournament for ladies, with a most sumptuous diamond studded brace-let as prize. He drew up his terms skill-- fully, and every one saw that the brace-let was a gift to Miss Beighton, tho ac-- ! ceptance carrying with it tho hand and the heart of Commissioner Barr-Saggot- t. The terms were a St. Leonard's round thirty-si- x shots at sixty yards under tho rules of the Simla Toxophilito society. ' All Simla was invited. There were beautifully arranged tea tables under the deodars at Annandale, where tho grand stand is now; and alone in its glory, winking in the sun, sat the dia-mond bracelet in a blue velvet case. Miss Beighton was anxious almost too nuxious to compete. On tho appointed afternoon all Simla rodo down to to witness the judgment of Paris turned upside down. Kitty rode with young Cubbon, and it was easy to see that the boy was troubled in his wind. He must be hold innocent of ev-erything that followed. Kitty was pale and nervous, and looked long at the bracelet. Barr-Saggo- tt was gorgeously CUPID'S ARROWS. Once npon a time there lived at Simla a very pretty girl, the daughter of a poor but honest district and sessions judge. She was a good girl, but could not help knowing her powor and using it. Her mamma was very anxious about hor daughter's future, as all good mammas should be. When a man is a commissioner and a bachelor, and has the right of wearing open work jam tart jewels in gold and enamel on his clothes, and of going through a door before every one except a member of council, a lieutenant gov-ernor or a viceroy, he is worth marry-ing. At least that is what ladies say. There was a commissioner in Simla in those days who was and wore and did all I have said. Ho was a plain man an ngly man tho ugliest man in Asia, with two exceptions. His was a face to dream about, and try to carve on a pipe bead afterward. His name was Saggott Barr-Saggo- Anthony Barr-Saggo- tt and six letters to follow. Department-all- y he was one of the best men the gov-ernment of India owned; socially he was like a blandishing gorilla. When he turned his attentions to Miss Beighton I believe that Mrs. Beighton wept with delight at the reward Provi-dence bad sent her in her old age. , Mr. Beighton held his tongue. Ho was an easy going man. Now a commissioner is very rich. His pay is beyond the dreams of avarice is eo enormous that he can afford to save and scrape in a way that would almost discredit a member of council. Most commissioners are mean, but Barr-Saggo- tt was an exception. He entertained royally, ho horsed himself well, ho gave dances, he was a power in the land, and he behaved as such. Consider that everything I am writ- -' ing of took place in an almost pre-his-toric era in the history of British India. Some folk may remember the years be-fore lawn tennis was born, when we all played croquet. There were seasons be-fore that, if yon will believe me, when ven croquet had not been invented, and archery, which was revived in England in 1844, was as great a pest as lawn ten-nis is now. People talked learnedly about "holding" and "loosing," "Bteles," , "refleied bows," d bows," "backed" or "self --yew bows,", as we talk abent "rallies." "volley?," "smashes," r target supports. Here is Miss Beigh-ton- 's score as it was pricked off: Total Total Gold. Red. Blue. Black. White. Hits. Score. 1 1 0 0 6 ? 81 Barr-Saggo- tt looked as if the last few arrow heads had been driven into his legs instead of the target's, and the deep stillness was broken by a little snubby, mottled, half grown girl saying in a shrill voice of triumph, "Then I've won!" Mrs. Beighton did her best to bear up; but she wept in the presence of the people. No training could help her through such a disappointment. Kitty unstrung her bow with a vicious jerk, and went back to her place, while Barr-Saggo- tt was trying to pretend that he enjoyed snapping the barcelet on the snubby girl's raw, red wrist It was an awkward scene most awkward. Every one tried to depart in a body and leave Kitty to the mercy of her mamma. But Cubbon took her away instead, and the rest is not worth printing.

Pemaquid (Me.) Messenger. rtr. Talimtge'i Last Cigar. My last cigar was smoked at 8 o'clock one Sabbath morning in my western home. I had smoked three or four ci-gars since tea. 1 wrote my sermons then, and thought I could gather fresh inspiration with every fresh cigar. My hand trembled as 1 finished my work, and when a book fell I started as if a pistol had been fired. The creaking of my boots, so great was the nervous strain npon me as 1 went down the tairs, made my hair stand on end. 1 could not sleep that night, and resolved that 1 would give up smoking and end the sin of night studx. ' I kept my promise, and then overboard went tea and coffee. Perhaps some may be better for smoking, but 1 think there would be many sick headaches less with-out it.
