The Canadian Vacific track is laid to within five miles of the summit of the Rockies. Tho gth of the road from Winx to Fort ly will not exceed 1,480 miles. Tho triple alliance is the topic of the hour, By a stranga coincidence the union was effect- ed in the neighborhood of Brooklyn and the Rock Ieland stood in as the mutusl friend. The Northern Pacific hired a man named Gilmour to throw out giant powder catridges, with the usual result, He sued the compan and obtained judgment for §1,500 for the juries sustaived. The B. & M. at Red Cloud has done the largest business for tho month of November, in the freight department, that was ever done at this station, the remittance in that month being over 10,000, The laying of rails on the Fargo Southern has been suspeuded for the winter, Work will be resumed in the spring. Soventeen miles of track have been laid from Fargo south, ten at Ortonvilleaud two at Wahpeton. The Union Pacific and the Chicago, Bur- lington & Quincy have made an agreement fixing uniform rates in Nobraskn, which will probably prevent their demoralization west of the Missouri, whatever offect the disruption of the Omai pool. may have on the rates be- tween tho Missowri and Chicago.

Heoformed a syndicate and sold the stock secretly to the amount, it is sad, of 40,000shares, Tho stock was above 80 and went bolow 40, The profits were in the neighborhood of 2,000,000, railroads are_a ating in the of- fice of the secretary of Dakota territory, One of the latest is called the St. Buford & South. eastern railrond company. 1t proposes t run from Bufordto Aberdeen, with Steele s its business headquarters, The capital ttock?of this company is §3,000,000, o]l taken by the incorgorators, Another is known s th Da- kota & Minnesota railroad company with capital of §1,000,000. A company has been organized to build cablo railroad from Hailey, Idsho, the termin- ous of the Wood River branch of the Oregon Short Line, to Ketchum, a distance of ten and o half miles. 1t is proposed to work the road onthe cable system, running tho cablo at a speed of about five miles an hour, The power is to bo applied at a point about half way be- tween the torminy, and the machinery is to be run by wator power, Wood river belng used at a point whero there is a considerable fall, St Paul capitalists are about to build o road through one of the richest agri- cultural Lelts of Dakota, The proposed line starts from a point on the eastern Dal line at the foot of Lake Traverse, and runs in a slightly winding route uround the northern base of the eastern contean to.Sanborn, on tholine of the Northern V'acific in Barnes county, crossing Richland, Rtansom and La Maoure counties; thence it crossos quite directly Barnes and Stutsman counties, reaching its present terminal point at Carrington, Foster county, Theentireline is 175 miles in length, new map of Nebraska has three red ading to Hastings, these red lines in- dicating proposed railroads. One of them iy from Aurora to Hastings, and thence xouth- west to Orleans, ete, Another,is from Strom- burg to Hastings, pointing in a southwesterly direction; and’ the third is from Hardyin Nuckolls county, to Hastings, This last would constitute & conne link between the Union Pacific road runving from Girand Island to Hastings and the Missouri Pacific running to Achison, Kansas City, ete, —— £ Ostrich-Farming, New Onieans, La., December 10.— [8pecial]—The Anstrian bark Josip ar- rived yesterday from Cape Town, South Africa.

C— The Window Tax. Chicago Tribune The plass industry of the United States is a good illustration of the way in which the stimulation of the tarifi is apt to overdo itself. For twenty years theglass manufactories have had a tax levied in their behalf on the competing products of Europe of an average of not less than 76 per cent on window glass, and of about 60 per cent on all kinds_of glass. But, as the dispatches from Pittsburg tell ua every day, the factories are shut down, the workmen have been driven to strike by the proposal of reduced wages, and the country has to import glass from abroad to satisfy its noeds. One of the business men of Winona, Minn., has written to The Republican of that place a statement of the actual con dition of things in the glass interest as ho has seen it in his business, The com- pany of which he was at the head ordered a fow woeks sinct a carlond of glass from one of the principal Pittsburg manufac- turers, Ho was informed in roply that as there was no American glass in the market it would be necessary to fill his order with French glass, and this state- ment of the situation was added: Seven-cighths of all the factories in this country are lying idle and wo cannot tell when there will be a resumption of work. Our men don’'t want to work any more. Wo predict no work this winter. (Gilass will be scarce and high. This is the realization after twenty of very heavy taxation of the “for protoction” to a tax of soventy-six per cent on window glass. The advocates of the tax assured us that it would bring our workmen high wages, would give the consumer cheap glass forever at the cost of u brief period of dear glass at the beginning, and would firmly establish the glass manufacturo of this cobntry on a basis that would afford lasting prospor- And at men ity to the capital engaged in it. the end of twenty years the work are out of work, soven out of eight of the factories are closed, it is impossible to tell when there will bo a resumption of work, and glass is *‘scarce_and high.” This disaster is more surprising since, as the correspondent of The Republican points out, glass is one of the manufac- tures native to this country. It was manu- factured here seventy years before it had any tarifl help —if it can bo called help— and Albert Gallatin, in his report as sec- retary of the treasury, said mn 1810 that tho industry was firmly established, The statistics for that year show that the do- mestic manufacturo of window-glass amounted to 1,000,000, whilo the im- portations were but $54,000. Without protection, in other words, the Americans could buy their glass at home cheaper than abroad; with protection for twenty years, they must buy most of it in Eu- rope. Glass is made of sand, lime, and soda, with coal for fuel. If thereisany country that has an inexhaustible supply of the materials it is the United States, and yet we see the industry on the verge of col- lapse. What is the reason? The reason was revealed by the glassmakers them- gelves in a movement which they made last year for the purchase of some foreign patents. The foreign manufacturers, compelled to moot the competition of the world, have made improvement after im- provement in their processes until they are able to make glass much more cheaply than ever before. The American man- ufacturers, fenced in from foreign com- petition by this tax of 76 per cent, have gone on in the old way. They have made 1o improvements, and when foreign com- petition pressed them harder they havo sought to recoup themselves by reducing the wages of their men, T Corals and Shells. From the Philadelphia Times. Corals are always moro or less in fash- jon. A certain fossil coral, favorites, is made into sleeve-buttons and studs and brings high prices. Another kind is made up into fancy ornaments of all kinds, but the red and black corals are the most valuable, The best fisheries arc along the coasts of Tunis, Algerin and Morocco, from 2 to 10 mils from shore, in from 30 to 150 fathoms, Good coral is also com- mon at Naples, near Leghorn and Genoa, and on various parts of the sea, as Sardi- nia, Corsiea, Catalonia, Provence, ete. It ranges in color from pure whitethrough all the shades of pink, red and crimson, Dut the rose-pink is most valued, For a long time Marscilles was the market, but now Italy is the great center of the trade, the groater number of boats liail- ing from Torre del Greco, whilo outside porsons aro forced to py o heavy tax, Tho vessels are schooners, lateen rigged, Conch shell is somewhat similar to coral, and sets of it have been sold as high as §300, The tint is exquisite, but Tiable to fade when exposed to the sun, 1t is made from the great couch, common in southern Florida and tho West In- dies, The shells are imported into Eu- ropo by thousands and cut up into studs, sloove buttous and various articles of ornament. The conch shell is used by the cameo cutter. Iome and Paris aro the principal seats of the trade, and im- menso numbers of sholl cameos are im- ported by England and America and mounted in rings, pins, cte. The one showing a pale color upon an orange ground s much used. In Paris three hundred thousand helmet shells were used in ono year valued at 840.000; of the bull’s mouth, 80,000, ay- eraging over a shilling apiece, equal to 854,000 The extent to which shells are used 1n decoration is enormous, The strombus, triton, dolium, fusus and murex we wount as ornamental vessols, while the actra is used as a spoon. The gigantic tridacna is mounted and used as & bap- tismal font, and brings $500 or $600. Among the Indians the pectan and denta- lium are used as ornamonts, The kcal- lop (pecten jacohicus) is usod as a deco- ration of honor, while the chank is a Hindoo bangle. = What is called shell- flower jewelry has a great sale in the south, “Phe sots are all in the shape of flowers, aud made up entirely of the valyos ‘of minute and beautifully tinted mollusks, which are bored and fixed onto silver wires, —— Ax obscure shelf is not the place for the new medical work, “The Science of Life; or, Self-Presorvation,” but the fam- NO STAIRS TO CLIMB of the continued use (f meroury and potasn for the treatmect of Blood and Skin discasos—they never cure, and nearly always infure or totally ruin the general hoalth, A WELL-KNOWN DRUGGIST.
