there was a big jump over these figures in 1886, although the exact amount sent out has not yet been made publici And tho improvement in quality has been about as great as in quantity.

Tits extermination of the American bnflulo appears, from the reports of Afrian explorers, to be very slow compared With that of several animals indigenous to the Dark Continent. The quagga is reported to be actually extinct, every striped will ass having been shot for its skin, which is the most fashionable hide in the European boot market . Elephants ua wmiHlv dviner out. owinsr to tho

ravages ef the task hunter, who can find a ready market for al the ivory he can ship, and even the crocodile is finding the craze after his skin fatal to existence. Im India there is a close time for elephants in order to preserve the breed, but as many animals are poisoned during the prohibited months as are killed in a sportsmanlike manner during the remainder of the year. TJtB PACIFIC BAILKUADS. qpbjr immense indemadneaw to the Govarnmeat-A Ijittle History. The vast indebtedness of the Pacific railroads to the Government is the subject ox much discussion in and out of Congress. Vajor Poore dearly con densee the story of how the National Treasury was' plundered when these railroads first same into existence. "Under various acts of Congress granting aid to the Union Pacific Railroad that corporation was to receive 12, 00 asres of land to the mile, or about twelve mUlions in all, and Governinentsix per cent, bonds to the amount

Q hnft nar mile for a oortion of the

road,$32j000 per mile for another portion of the road, and $48,000 per mile for another. In addition to these subsidies the company was -authorised to issue its own first mortgage bonds to aa amount equal to the Government bonds and to organize with a capiial stock not to: exceed one hundred million dollars. All this constituted a mag' nifioent fund, and it soon became evident that the'road could be built for at least twenty million dollars less th an

.the resources thus furnished. "Of course the honest way would have been to build the road as economically as possible, and give the government the benefit of the saving, but this was ot thought of. The Directors set themselves at work to concoct a plan by which they?? could appropriate the

whole amount, and after building the road, divide thevferge surplus among themselves. - The plan hit upon was for the Directors tobecome contractors; in other words, to hire themselves to build the road. - To con summate this tend without exciting public attention, and to oover all -traces of the transaction, was no easy matter, but the Directors employed an eminent attorney , skilled in the intricacies of railroad legislation, and with his aid and advice the machinery for the transaction was finally arranged to -the satisfaction of all

U -

er.'. .

r, i

'In order to avoid personal liability

and give their movement the semblance of legality, the Directors purchased the charter ef the 'Pennsylvania Fiscal Ageney and changed its name to the 'Osdit Mobilier of Ainerica.7 At this time (1) $2,000,000 of stock had been snbeeribed to the railroad company, end 1118,000 paid in. The first thing the Credit Mobilier did was to buy in all of this stock and bring the railroad company and Credit Mobilier under one management and . the same set of officers. Then the Directors of the railroad company, through certain middlemen, awarded the contract for building the road to the Credit Mobil'er in other words, to thsmselves for from 20,000 to 980,000 per mile more than it was .worth Svideaee which afterwards eame to light in the Congressional investigations showed that the Credit Hobiher made a cash profit in the transaeMon of over twenty-three million dollars, besides gobbling up the stock of the road at thirtycents on the dollar, when the law plainly provided that it should net be issued at less than par. Oakes Ames, a sturdy Massachusetts meehanie, who had acquired a -fortune in the mannfasture of shovels, had been persuaded to embark in the conatrnetion ef the Pacific Railroad.

lars of Smoke," and the text wits taken from Solomon's Song, ch. iii.,y. 6: 41 Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke?" Br. Talmagc said: The architecture of the smoke is wondrous, whether God with his finger curls it into a cloud, or rounds it Jn a dome, or points it in a spire, or spreads it in a wing, or, as in the text, hoists it

in a pillar. Forty-four times tne . JSiDie speaks of the smoke, and it is about time that somebody preaches a sermon recognizing this strange, weird, beautiful, elastic, charming, terrific , and fascinating vapor. Across the Bible sky lloats the smoke of Sinai, the smoke of Sodom, the smoke of Ai, the smoke of the pit, the smoke of the voicantc hills when ; God touches them, and in my text the glorious Church of God coming up out of the wilderness like pillars. of smoke. In the first place, these pillars of smoke in my text indicate the suffering the Church of .God has endured. What do I mean by the Church? I mean not a building, not a seat, but those who in all ages and all lands, and of all beliefs, love God and are trying to . do right. For many centuries the heavens have been black

with the smoke of martyrdom. J f set

side by side you could girdle the earth with the fires of persecu tion . Rowland Taylor burned at Hadlefgh; Latfcner burned at Oxford; John Rogers burned at- Smithfield; John Hooper burned at Gloucester; John fluss burned at Constance; Lawrence Saunders burned at Coventry; Joan of Arc burned at Rouen, Protestants have sometime pointed to the Catholics as oersecutors, but both Protestant and Catholic have practiced infamous cruelties. The Catholics, during the reign of Hunheric, were by Protestants put to tortures, stripped of .their clothing, hoisted in the air by pulleys with weights suspended from their feet, then let down, and ears and eyes, nose and tongue, were amputated, and redhot plates of iron were put against, the tenderest parts of taeir bodies. George Bancroft, the historian, says of the Stats of Maryland; "In the land" which Catholics had opened to Protestants mass might not be said publicly; no Catholic priest or Bishop might utter his faith in a voice of persuasion; no Catholic might teach the young. If a way ward child of

a Papist would but become apostatc.the law wrested for him from his parents a share of their property. Such were the methods adopted to prevent the growth of Popery.".. Speaking of Ireland, Bancroft, the historian, says: "Such, priests as were permitted to reside in Ireland

were required to be registered, and were kept like prisoners at large within prescribed limits. AH Papists exercising ecclesiastical jurisdiction , all m onks, friars and regular priests, and all priests not then actually in parishes and to be resrifitered, were banished from Ireland under pain of transportation, and, on return, of being hanged, drawn and quartered" Catholicism as well as Protestantism has had its martyrs. It does seem as if when any one sect got complete dominaney in any land the devil of persecution and cruelty took possession of that sect. A red line rnns tnrough the church history of nineteen hundred years, a line oi blood. Not by the hundreds of thousands, but by the millions must we count those slain for Christ's sake. No wonder John Milton put the groans of the martyrs to an immortal tune, writing: '. "Avenge, 0 Lord, thy slaugliterad saints, whose ... .bones

Lie scattered on the Alpine mountains coM."

The smoke of the martyrs' homes and martyrs' : bodies if rolling up all at once would have eclipsed the noonday sun and turned the brightest day the world ever saw into midnight. "Who is she that cometh up out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke?" , : Has persecution ceased? Ask that young man who is trying to be a Christian in a store or factory, where from morning till night he is the butt of all the mean witticisms of uubelieving employes. Ask that wife whose ..husband makes her fondness for the house of God, and even her keeling prayer at the bedside, a derision, and is no more fit for holy companionship than a filthy srow would be fit companionship for a robin or a golden oriole. Compromise with the world and surrender to its conventionalities and it may let you alone; but all who will live godly in Christ Jee us must suffer persecution. Be a theatregoing, ., card-playing, wine-drinking, round-dancing Christian, and you escape criticism and social pressure, .But be an up and down, out and out 'follower of Christ and worldling will wink to worldling as he speaks your name, and you will be put in many a doggerel and snubbed up those not worthy to blacken your oldest shoes. When the bridge at Ashtabula broke and let down the most of the car-load of passengers to instant death, Mr. P. P. Bliss was seated on one side of the aisle of the car writing down a Christian song which he was composing, and on the other side . . a group of men playing cards. Whose landing place in eternity would you prefer that of P. P. Bliss, the Gospel singer, or of the card-players? Nothing can be more beautiful than the figures of smoke on a clear sky. You can see what you, will in the contour of this volatile vapor, now enchanted castles, now troops of horsemen , now bannered procession, now winged couriers, now a black angel of wrath under a spear of the sunshine turned to an angel of light, and now from horizon to horizon the air is a picture gallery filled with master-pieces of which God is the artist, morning clouds of smoke born in the sunrise and evening clouds oi smoke laid in burnished sepulchers of the sunset. The most beautiful organization the world ever saw or ever will see is the much-maligned Church, the friend of all good, the foe of ail evil, "fair as the moon and clear as the sun." Beautiful in her auther, beautiful in her mission, the heroine of the centuries, the bride of Christ, the queen of the nations. There

You lying and hypocritical world, shut up those slanders about the Church of Christ, an institution which, far from being what it ought to be, and never pretending to be perfect, is five hundred times better than any other institution that the world ever saw or dreamt of. The highest honor T ever had, and the highest honor I shall ever receive, and the highest honor I ever want is to have my name on the records

The scene in the joint convention was exceedingly turbulent and exciting. The galleries were packed, and the lobbies of the losver tioor were so crowded that many members were shut out of sight of the Speaker. The opening proceedings were uneventful, aside from the development of the ict that for the first time in two weeks all the members of both Houses tvere present. The Senate voted as usual 81 for Turpie and 18 for Harrison. When it was being called air. Robinson left his seat and went in turn to those of Mackev. Cates and Glover, the other

And right after them roll into the heavens the peaceful vapors from the chimneys of farm-houses, and asylums, and churches, and capitals of Christian nations, and, as the sunlight strikes through these vapors they will write in letters of jet and gold all over the sky from horizon to zenith: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will. to men!" Then let all the men-of-war fire a broadside, and all the forte thunder forth a resounding volley, and the earth he girdled with tho final victory of the truth. While thinking of these things 1 looked out from my window, and the wind was violently blowing. And I saw from many chimneys the smoke tossed in the air and whirled in great velocity, volume, fold, and carried on the swift wind were the great pillars of smoke. And, helped by Solomon in the text, 1 saw the speed of the Church symbolized. Do you realize the momentum the Church of God is under? Why, the smoke of a chimney on the top of Mount Washington, when the wind is blowing sixty miles ihe hour, is slow as compared with the wonderful velocity of tho church of Christ. Oh, come into the Church through Christ, the door a door more gl rious than that of the Temple of Hercules which had two pillars, and one was gold and the other emerald! Come in to-day! Come in and be one of the eternal victors! The world you leave behind, is a poor world, and it will burn and pass off like pillars of smoke. Whether the final conflagration will start-in the coal mines of Pennsylvania, which, in some places, have for many years been burning and eating into the heart of ...the

mountains, or whether it shall begin near the California geysers, or whether from out the furnaces of Cotopaxi and Vesuvius and Stromboll, it shall burst forth upon the astonished nations. 1 make no prophecy but all geologists tell us that we stand on the lid of a world the heart of which is a raging, roaring, awful flame, and some day God will let the red monsters out of their imprisonment of centuries, and New York on fire in 1835, and Charleston on fire in 1865, and Chicago on fire in 1872, and Boston. fire in. 1873, were only like one spark from a blacksmith's forge as com pared with that last universal blaze wh i ch will be seen in o th er worlds. But gradually the flames will lessen, and the world become a great living coal, and that will take an ashen hue; and then our ruined pjapet will begin to smoke, and the mountains will smoke, and the valleys will smoke, and the islands will smoke, and the seas will smoke, and the cities will smoke, and the five contl-

Germuny's Trained War Dogs. PU Mail Onfcctfe. One of the novel features by means of which Germany will defend herself in the "impending" war is a battalion of trained dogs, which are now being drilled by a regiment of chasseurs at Luhben. Commenting on the value of this new lighting or rather biting power, the existence of which is confirmed in German military publications the Petit Journal advises Gen, Boulanger to act on the principle of "a tooth for a tooth." and continues, "If the Germans continue the education of their dogs, we ought, without delay, to enlist a regiment of cats, and the battles which these ttvo hereditary enemies will fight will lessen the monotony of field life." Not a bad idea this, if only the Petit Journal wo aid find a means of curing the instinct of a cat to to turn tail at the sight of a dog. If this difficulty can be overcome there is no knowing whafc the cats may not do, for their reputation as warriors has been great ever since Cambyses gained his great victory over the Egyptian cats.

j of them sat quietly in their seats. A dozen or more men rushed over to

Robinson and shook hands with him, but it was indicated that they were all outsiders, and while the Democrats were evidently somewhat elated over the vote, they did not manifest it by effusive demonstrations about the man who had brought about the change. They seemed rather to avoid than eek him. Through all this excitement Judge Turpie sat quietly among the Democratic Senators, there being nothing in his appearance to indicate, to a stranger at least, that he had any more interest in the proceedings than the casual lookeron. One or two gentlemen c&me up to congratulate him, but he paid little attention to what was being said. Before he vote of the House was announced, Mr. Gates of Fountain county, another independent, was recognized by the speaker. He spoke .briefly and very indistinctly. "Mr. Speaker, I desire to change iny

vote and ix give my reasons for the change. I was nominated by the nationals and indorsed by the republicaiis. When I came here I went into a combination, in perfectly good faith, with three other gentlemen, to stand together in supporting a labor candidate. Mr. Robinson did not notify me that he was going to break that solemn agreement, until after this roll-call was begun. T do not regard him as having kept good faith with me, and for that reason, as well as several others, I vote for Benia-

A musty cellar is death to milk or cream, but it seems impossible to pound it into the heads of some people. More butter is ruined by bad cellars and eaves than from any other cause on the farm.

In cold climates wool lms a finer texture -and a superior quality. .. ... . .. A correspondent of the English Farmers Gazette asserts that five pounds of common white beans ground fine ann fed in hmkpound doses with bran twice daily will cure the worst case of bloody milk.

nobody is going to be fcept a prisoner. Mr.. Johnson asked and obtained leave oi absence till the afternoon session. Later he returned, but was not granted permission io participate ua vote then pending. The Senate continued iu session until 12:23, the evident intention being to. make a record, so as to show the impossibility of the Senate having taken part in the convention in progress in the House. The minority report In the contested case of Branaman against McDonald was reported aud ordered spread upon the journal . The Senate bill requiring payment of laborers every two weeks was read the third time and then recommitted for certain amendments. II o USB. For Uie Hrst time in the session tho closest attention was paid to the reading of the journal of the proceedings of the joint convention of .yes, terday, Mr. Jewett called attention to the fac that the record showed that Speaker Sayre had announced that there was no election of a I'liifc. ed States Senator, but failed to show the additional fact, as he claimed, that President Smith had declared that David Turpie was duly elected. He asked that this correction be made. Mr, Kellison made a motion to amend and correct the journal In accordance with a record which he had prepared, and which the elerk read. It was a very lengthy document, setting forth in.de tail aud iu legal phrases, the proceeding. The

! principal difference between ft and the regular ; journal was that it stated that J. .11: AHeu had received three votes, and that Messrs. Cates, Mackey, and Glover had afterward changed, their ..... votes to Harrison, in spite of the protests of Mr, Jeweil. It further set j

forth that President Smith . had announced the election of Turpie. Tho proposed amendment to Uie journal was not adopted, tho Kepublicaus voting solidly against it and the Democrats for it Mr. Jewett i hen moved an amendment so that the journal should show that President Smith announced the election . Mr. Gardiner said that the members on his side of the fjao would not object to such a minute if assured that President Smith had made such a declaration, but that they had heard uoih ing of tho kind. Mr. Jewett

gave the assiwauco that such an announcement had been made. Speaker Sayre said he had stood by President Smith throughout the proceedings and had heard . nothing of the kind. A number of members on .both, sides made" statements about their recollections about the occurrences of the convention, the Democrats all professing to have heard .Smith make .the . an uounc:menf. and the Republicans declaring
