Ti lea-Hug heiress in Moscow, Russia, Has expectations for 875,000 X00. The prospects for the comius State Fair are more favorable than in any previous year. THK designs for the McPberson Monument were all In, and the committee were to make their selection last Saturday. THE Freshman class at Yale College will nurr ber about one hundred and sixty students. Many of the German Democrats in Pennsylvania have announced their determination to vote the entire Republican ticket this year. The Chicago Medical College has decided to admit women to its course of instruction, and to grant them the degrees of M. D-upon the sacie terms as men. The new movement for extending the franchise to the esr-rebeisiu West Virginia meets the favor of all the Republican papers in the state that have thus far spoken, except two.! It is reported that the Pie.sidency of the University Of Michigan has been offered to President Angell or the University of Vermont, at Burlington. The Eowdoin College Sophomores cm. nienced "hazing the Freshmen" last week, but the Faculty told thera it would beprofliabloforthem to desist, aod they have promised civilized matners, A Texas coirtsj oede nt of the Missouri Democrat reports that "the ILm.lton liepublicans have the inside truck, and will carry the State by and .Immense majority." The Democrats as a party have abandoned the field. . A wag, seeing a dcor nearly off its hinges In which condition it had" been for tome time observed that after it liau fallen and killed some one it would probably be hung. A Parisian manufacturer is engaged in making various aiticlessuch as head dresses, ribbons, bracelets, cuff-, collars, watch chains, ostrich feathers, and the like, out of spun glass. The threads aie reported tobe as fine as a spider's web and as strong as wool, but more beautiful in appearance. The thread may bs used for knitting or sewing. , " How do you like me now?" asked a belle of her spouse, as she sailed Into Xbe room with a sweeping train cf muslin following her. " Wel!,"sild he. " to tell you the truth, it Is Impossible for me to like you any longer." , - Co-MilonoHE Vakderbilt's second wife is said to be about thirty years of oge, tall and queenly In form, beautiful in feature, a worthy member of the Methodist Church and an active worker in the Bu&day School. A State debt of 40,000,000 was the legacy which the Democratic party bequeathed to the people of Pennsylvania when it quit ted power. The Republican party have reduced this debt more than one-half, be sides freeing the people of the oppressive tax upon real estate. Aoa&3:z and Xathanlel Kowdilcli were too roor In early lifo to purchase the books they needed for their t todies, and they were compelled tv make manuscript copies. Those which t r.

Car sv the St. Paul of Democracy who was suddenly converted while engaged in persecuting the sects has been an Odd Fellow, lied Man, Mason, Know Nothing and Son of Temperance; and would have been a Daughter of Kebekah, if his sex had permitted. The Petersburg Prtss says there will be no public school in that town this Winter. There is no schoolhouse, and three or four hundred children are growing up in ignorance. Why, what's the matter with the people of Pike County? Shame on a town that will not keep up a school whe-j the State furnishes the money! A New Park at New Yoek. -A Mrs. Bell left twenty acres of land, known as Mount Morris Square, to the city of New York, in 1S37, with the stipulation that it should be made into a public park. The land has increased in value from $30 per acre to $50,000 by the growth of the city, and the Central Park' Commissioners are now at work carrying out the purposes of the donor, in preparing the ground for use as a public park. The Vincennes Sun Bays that fever and chills are the "ailing" complaints for miles around us. There is "more of it" than ever known by the "oldest inhabitants." In some localities whole families are down with the "shakes." The same paper learns that the flux exists, mostly among adult?, to quite an alarming extent in Washington Township, north of Vincennes. Weather wiseacres, who ought to know if they do not, say that as the fall of the moon was unaccompanied by frost, all danger of a visit of the kind is removed two weeks. If this proves a true prophesy, and the present warm weather continues, the late corn will bo beyond all danger, and the crop much better than has been anticipated. We suspect, however, that a cold, drizzly rain will soon bo upon us, if it is not actually under headway this morning, and that it will be followed by cold weather and frost in abundance. On Thursday last, Dr. Mussey, 0f Cincinnati, successfully removed a large and deep-seated tumor from the iaca and throat cf a son of Secretary Cox. A consultation wa3 held in the morning at the house cf the Secretary in Washington, by Dr. Mcssey, with Surgeon General Barnes, Doctors Otis and Woodward, of the army, and several of the most disticguished pnysicians oi tne city. The views of Dr. Mussey as to the case, and na ture oi toe required operation, were -a . 1 1 - A adopted, and ce at, once proceeded to i perform it. The attempt was attended with great success, and the patieut is in escellent condition.

Important Circular. ! We learn from the Boston Journal that Commissioner Wells is about to issue a General Circular for the collection of business statistics. It will bo addressed in its inquiries both to

employers and employed, and will embrace just those questions relating to wages and prices upon which it is allimportant to have correct information. The changes of the last few years in these particulars have been so great that previous statistics are of no value at all, except for purposes of comparison. The national census is taken but once in ten years, and then but partially covers this field of inquiry, and has heretofore been taken in a very imperfect and unreliable way. The people themselves must supply the requisite information, if it is to be obtained at all. If it is withheld, wise and effective legislation becomes an impossibility. The modification of the tariff, of the internal revenue laws, and to a certain degree legislation upon the currency and all financial topics, depend upon the enlightenment of Congress on the very subjects comprised in Mr. WELLS' circular. It will be well worth the while, therefore, of every business man who receives a copy of the circular to take a little leisure time, and note down the answers so far as he is able. It will be much better to leave some questions unanswered than to record uncertain or random statements, for these points will be likely to be covered by others who can speak with accuracy. It will be desirable to have as many answers as possible, but still more to have them absolutely correct, so far as they go. Workingmen, in particular, will see the opportunity here afforded them for getting the real facts 6f their condition before the government and the public. We hope the people generally will give the Circular their prompt and careful attention. ===== THROUGH THE FAR WEST ----- IX. ----- OVER THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS. ----- The Ascent from Cheyenne—Steep Grades—Absence of Mountain Scenery—Sherman, the Highest Point on the road—The Scene Above the Clouds—Laramie Plains —Snow Fences—Medicine Bow Mountains—The Railroad Coal Mines—The North Platte Again— Breakfast on the Western Slope of the Rocky Mountains. ----- Editorial Correspondence. WAHSATCH STATION, UTAH TER. } September 17, 1869/ } All the way up the Platte Valley, from the time we left Omaha, we had been insensibly but steadily ascending the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains. But the broad Plains rose so imperceptibly, and there was such a total absence of mountain scenery, that when we reached Cheyenne, though six thousand feet above the sea, we could hardly realize the fact. True, the air was clear and keen, but not more so than we often experience on a September morning on the low level ofIndiana, precursor of the early Autumn frosts. A ride from the Shoals Station on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, to the French Lick Springs, would show more rugged country than we saw in ascending these six thousand feet. But after leaving Cheyenne we begin the ascent of the mountains in earnest, as the laboring engine and the slow progress of the train indicate. We look back from the rear car and see the broad plains receding below us; we lean forward as the road curves around a rolling upland and the rapid ascent is manifest. The maximum grade from Cheyenne to Sherman is eighty-eight feet to the mile; the distance thirty-three miles; and the difference in altidude [sic] two thousand three hundred feet. And yet as we ascend to the highest point on the entire line of the Road, we still are without the immediate evidences of the great Rocky Mountain Range, that rugged Backbone of the American Continent, of which we have read or heard in the narratives of the pioneers and emigrants to the Pacific coast. True, we occasionally catch glimpses, to the south, of the snowcapped crest of Long's Peak and the Colorado range, sixty miles and more away, and occasionally in the vicinity a bold headland or granite shaft rises from the rolling surface around. But if this is the far-famed Rocky Mountain Range, it is tame indeed, thinks the tourist. But so it is. The Pacific .Railroad, which a few years ago, we feared, had before it an insurmountable barrier in this rugged and gigantic range, has even now safely and noiselessly brought us to the top of the Mountains, ere we were aware of it; and here we stand at Sherman Station, (in honor of our great General,) eight thousand two hundred and thirty-five feet above the level of the ocean. If the Alleghenies were piled up to twice their heighth [sic] they would not reach the altitude of the Pacific Road at this point. But if no towering crags or yawning chasms bear evidence of our great highth [sic], everything else tells of the elevated position. The vegetation and the verdure, which were constantly with us yesterday, have almost entirely disappeared, short, brown and crisp tufts of grass are scattered over the hills, with sage-brush and occasional stunted evergreens, but vegetation is almost dead. The air is clear and cool, and perceptibly thinner than in the lowlands. The volcanic character of the earth around is plainly seen. The reddish and gray granite ledges which have in the great upheavel [sic] been left standing above the surrounding plain, have, by an indefinite period of exposure to atmospheric abrasion and disintegration, worn away in a great measure, and make up the sandy quartz-like soil; but here and there they are left standing on the rolling table land, wrought into all kind of weird and fantastic shapes by the storms of rain and Winter frosts. Over this high plain up so near and above the clouds there is a spirit of dreariness and desolation, and we are eager to leave it for the milder and more majestic scenery beyond. We are reminded how our American enterprise triumphs over Nature's obstacles, and it is seen not alone in the building of this great thoroughfare of the nation. As we stand at Sherman Station, and are being impressed with the scene around us on this highest point reached by the rail-

road wc cist our eyes up to the top

road, we cast our eyes up to the top of one of the lone shafts of mouldering granite, look at what seems at first sight to be some wild, savage hieroglyphics; but more closely scanned we plainly read—USE DRAKE'S PLANTATION BITTERS—S—T—1860—X. How suddenly we are brought back from our romanicing to the common place realities of business life. While the train stops for wood and water, the passengers, many of them, are busy in picking up pieces of granite or quartz, as mementoes of the locality; but soon the train whistles and we are off; but not for some time does the scene change very greatly. Sherman is on the range known as the Black Hills, and is the highest point on the Road, but we are yet to climb over or through the Rocky Mountain range proper. Before we do this, however, we descend gradually a thousand feet and more and traverse the Laramie Plains, a tract of mountain meadow, seven thousand feet above the sea, and about twenty miles wide by sixty long. It is a good grazing region, and being in the track of the old Emigrant Trail, was a welcome territory for the weary mountain travelers in former years. It was over this high table-land about Sherman and along the Laramie Plains that the trouble was experienced with the trains of the Pacific Road last W inter by the heavy snows. The locomotive is usually able, with its snow-plows, to clear off the track of almost any depth of snow fall; but the wind piles up the cuts even full and renders them impassable. The Company has attempted to provide against these troubles the coming winter, by placing snow fences alorg all the cuts or excavations on the route upon this elevated region, from fify to one hundred feet from the track. The snow drifts against these fences and forms a barricade, which it is expected will protect the excavations and make the road passable during the entire winter; but expe rience alone will demonstrate their utility. Most of the day's ride yesterday was devoid of any grand or magnificent scenery. In the distance to the south was seen almost all day the Colorado snowy range, but it was in the dim distance. Late in the afternoon, the Medicine Bow Mountains were passed. their northern spur, Elk Mountain, rising to a great heighth [sic] above the plain, and constituting a noted landmark for miles around. As we leave the Laramie Plains, we pass Carbon Station, where the railroad company has developed a most valuable vein of coal, averaging about nine feet. A shaft is sunk just at the side of the track, and the locomotives are supplied directly from the mines. The main supplies of coal for the road, both East and West, are drawn from this place. Just as the sun was setting we came sgain into the Valley of the North Platte, which was left by the Railroad four hundred miles to the east. It passes far around to the north, among the canyons of the mountains, and here where it is now crossed by the Road its waters are nearly four thousand feet higher than where the Road crossed it to the east. Here is situated Fort Steele, an important military station, prettily located in a wild valley, surrounded by rocky, bluff hills, with the clear sparkling mountain waters of the Platte, dashing over the broken rocks and bowlders below. As night closed in upon us, our train, which had descended two thousand feet from Sherman, began again to ascend the Mountains, where it reached the altitude of seven thousand four hundred feet, and again began to descend. The scenery is said to be much the same as that we passed through during daylight, but we will be enabled to see it on the return trip. As this morning, the second from Omaha, dawned, we were on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains, and are halted at Wahsatch Station for breakfast, where the keen appetite of the traveler is feasted cn real mountain trout and other tempting dishes. The grand scenery of the Wahsatch Range, Echo and Weber Canyons, is before us. J. W. F. ---<>--- Kentucky Items. In order that the Paducah Fair should prove unusually attractive, the Directory have made arrangements for a balloon ascension and velocipede race. A carpenter named Barney Potter fell while at work in the Louisville Hospital, on Wednesday evening, and received injuries which resulted in death. The appointment of Mrs. Porter, of Covington, Postmistress of Louisville, does not seem to give great satisfaction. Gen. Grant's father is charged with having secured the appointment. Mrs. Porter is a daughter of Hon. James T. Morehead, who was once Governor of Kentucky and a Senator in Congress. The twenty-third anniversary of the battle of Monterey was celebrated by the survivors of the old Louisville Legion, at Louisville, on Friday night. A sumptuous banquet, stirring music and patriotic addresses characterized the reunion. Alexander Higdon, a deaf and dumb man, was run over by a freight train near Sonora a few nights since and killed. It is said he was drunk at the time of the accident. A religious debate between Rev. Mr. Wright, of the Christian, and Rev. Mr. Durham, of the Baptist Church, will commence at the Caney Fork meeting house, in Barren County, on Tuesday next. The Wintersmith or Summit House property, on the public Square in Elizabethtown, was sold by the Special Commissioner of the Hardin County Court on Monday last. It was sold in sections, the whole realizing $4,480 06. A little speck of domestic unpleasantness took place in Franklinton, Henry County, on Sunday last. Mr. Joseph Hockersmith playfully but maliciously threw a piece of old iron through the window at his wife, who immediately seized a shot-gun and shot him in the back, just under the left shoulder. He is in a precarious condition, and is being nursed by his resolute and dangerous wife. Major George M. Proctor, of the Glasgow Junction Hotel, was shot on Friday last by E. H. Greer, whom he was endeavoring to put out of the hotel for disorderly conduct. The wound, though a painful one, is not dangerous. It is understood a decree will be rendered in the Grayson Circuit Court, at its Fall term, requiring the Mammoth Cave property to be sold. This estate has been in the hands of Judge Underwood as Trustee for the heirs of General Croghan for forty years. Prof. M. H.

It must be borne in mind, however, that this amount is in excess of the Government license figures, 150,000 for wholesale dpalers in general merchandise, and $25 000 for liquor merchants. Thus we must add to the $3,185,787 about $2,000,000 for the general dealers, an i 1,000,000 for the liquor dealers, as untaxed tale?, making the actual sum realized by the seventy-eight firms in August $7,085,787. - In the present month this enormous sum wilt be far over-reached. Loui&viile Courier Journal. BCRNINQ THE CCBAN CROPS. A I letter from Cuba gives the following as the purpose of the Cubans in regard to the destruction of the crops by fire: The revolutionary leaders have a plan in employing incendiarism against their enemies. Ihey have not destroyed the sugar mills of the island, as alleged, but have disabled the machinery of a majority ot them. Ihey allow the sugar-cane to grow, but it will never be ground by either Spaniards or Uubans, except in dis tricts where Cuban authority prepon derates, and they can house the crop after it is made into sugar. When the tobacco crop of Vuelta Abaja ripens, it is to be burned just so far as it is necessary to prevent its being made a source ot revenue for the Spanish Government. This is a blow dreadful to contemplate, for though it brings ruin to Spanish coffers, it brings individual rum also. Let this war continue, and Spain will not ob tain ten per c-Ciit. of her usual revenue from Cuba. Millions and millions of dollars worth of green sugar-cace covers vast regions of cane producing lands, but unless the war soon ends it will all go to waste, except such parts ot it as Uuban authority can hold. . Major Powell. This gentleman. concerning whose fate the world of science and letters was long in sus pense, has been spending a few days in Salt Lake City, where he delivered a lecture on lhursday, evening at Bishop VVoolley's church. His subject was: " What I saw oa the Colo rado, which was quite interesting. though tho lecturer Ubored under the difficulty of making a rapid selec tion from such a mass of facts as he had evidently collected. A painfu uncertainty rests upon the fate of three men connected with the ex pedition. Ihey declined to attempt the passage ot the large rapids towards the latter port of the trip, and started to make the journey ot nearly a hun dred and fifty miles overland. The Major states that he has not yet heard from them, but within a few days a report has reached the 'city of three men having been killed by the In dians on that route. He fears that his former companions were tho vie tiros. Immediately on the conclusion of the lecture the Major took the stage for the East.—<Utah Reporter, 18th>. ---<>--- THE CALIFORNIA EXCURSIONISTS SOLD— The Elko (Nevada) <Inde pendent> is responsible for the following on the Cincinnati excursionists: When the Cincinnati excursion party was in town on Wednesday, seeing their disposition to open wide their wondrous eyes at everything coming under their observation differing from what they had seen at home, a wag concluded to test the elasticity of their credulity. A wagon load of common volcanic rock, which was being hauled past for the foundation of the Court House, stopped near where several members of the party were standing, and our friend pointed to it and told them it was a load of firstclass silver ore being taken to a mill. They made a dive for the wagon and soon filled their pockets with the broken fragments of the rock lying loose in the wagon; but as the crowd continued to gather, and some of them suggested that they procure a sledge hammer in order to break off some of the choice specimens of ore, the driver was given the wink, and started up his team, much to the disgust of a bevy of fair ones, who had not arrived in time to secure a fine specimen for the cabinet of minerals which each intends taking back from the Pacific coast. ---<>--- The Iowa firm that have invented the fourteen mile gun, have fair prospects for securing a test of the weapon by these capab'e of determining upon its practicabili.y. Admiral Dahlgren expresses gTeat faith in it. Frcit stains may le removed by moistening the article affected with a solution ot hyposulphate of soda, and adding to it a little pulverized tartaric acid, which is to bo rubbed on the stain. The article can then be cleansed with water. TnE Wcrthington Times says that, owing to the financial troubles, the three mile cap in the Vincennes & Indianapolis Railroad, five miles South of that town, is not likely to be completed very soon. Yin. Sun. TnE saekers after the piratical treasures supposed to be buried on the Cocos Islands, in the Pacific, have expended $28,000 in money and ten months' time ia their fruitless search.
