Five Freight Cars Derailod By a Mis- placed Switch—The Eikhorn's Grand Army Train—Rail- road Notes, Olosing the Gap. A communication was received by a well- Rnown railroad offcial, here, stating that the contract for tho construction of eighty wiles of railroad from Sioux City to Palisade, on the main line of the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Maaitoba, had been awarded to B. P, Rey- fiolds & Co., and thav the road wasto be known as the Sjoux City & Northwestorn It was also atated that this line would con- nect with 50, theroby giving the Union Pacific & short line to the eastern const. A _reporter was also shown a contract for the delivery of ties and raitroad timber at Mars, Ia., Valley Springs, Duk., and other poiats ulbng the proposed line, the last laco being Palisade, where it taps the anitoba line, The importance of this move the official stated, was not only in_the fact 1 the Union Pagitlo acquiring a short line he east but in making a direct opening for the rows 1o Duluth, which would onable it to pro rate with the lake steamship L In dofng this the differential allowe Paui lines on Dakota freieht would also be allowed the Union Pacific on Nebraska frolght, This would bo an important factor, he said durmg the lake season, and when ho lakos were closed the Unlon Pacific ould ‘have connecting facilities with the te, Mario—a portion of the Canadian Pa- o system—at Duluth. 'he official was also of the opinion that the new road was a creature of the Union Pacifio and that the latter would soon show its hand. ico President Holcomb of the Union Pacifio id, when asked as to whether his road was irectly interested, that e had no informa- tion to mve out on that point, and that ho was of tho opinion that there was no founda- tion for the story as far as the Union Pacific was concerned. It was learned, howover, from a reliablo source that the Union Pacifio is associated in the deal, but largely from a trafic stand- point.

Chairman Finley, of the trans-Missouri associntion has issued a circular, the sub- stance of which is as follows and will apply on all lines of the association: All freight from points within the state of Nebraska, intended for exhibition at the Stato Fair at Lincoln, and for the Omaha fair and exposi- tion at Omaha, during the year 1859, may be bilied to Lincoin or Omaha at tarift rates, all charges prepaid, except specimen feuit, grain and vegetables, which may bo billed free. On presentation to tho agent at Lincoln or Omahy, of a certificate trom the secrotary of the fair, that the goods have actually been on exhibition, and have not changed owner- ship, they will be returned fres. On pre- sentation of the same certificate to the agent at tho station from which the shipment was originaily made, the prepaid charges will be refunded, provided that all the articles shipped be returned. If any part of the original consignment be disposed of at Lin- coin or Omaba, the ageut will retain such proportion of prepaid charges as may be duo 8t tarift ratés to Lincoin_or Omaha on the artioles mot returned. Racing stock will take full tariff rates both ways, A Severs Storm. Reports were received at the railway head- quarters that a severe rain storm passod over the western section of Nebraka and the eastern portion of Colorado Monday night, "I'wo washouts occurred on the Union Pa- cific, One thousand feet of track mear Ogalalla was carried away. At Paxton the ruad-bed is badly eaten away, and all main line trains woro dolayed about eight hours. The breuk in the track at tho former placo occurred about midmight, and just after a freight train had passed over tho road. On the B, & M. main line a_culvert and a large portion of the road-bed near Hudson wero washed away and the east and westbound overland trains trans- ferrod their passengers at_that point. The reports are to the effect that the rain was accompanied by @ high wind which damaged the crops to a considerable extent. Corn Fed Oattle. The Burlington haulod twenty cars loaded with cattle fatted at tho ller dislillery, to Chicago, consigned by McCloud, Love & Co., of South Omaha, When questioned as to why the stock was not marketed at South Omaha, & Burlington attache said that 1t would be sold on the mar- tn: at Chieago as corn-fed cattle, while at South Omaha it would be known as distil- lery-fed cattle and would not bring the same price it would at Chicag A Union Pac fic Wreok. Owingto s misplaced switch five empty freight cars were deraled and more or less damaged in the Union Pacific yards near the Thirteenth strect viaduct yesterday. One of the cars came near failing from the via- duct to_the street below, which would, 5o doubt, have resulted in the loss of life, as at the time the street was thronged with pedes- rians, G. A. R.

A HERO OF THE RAIL, A strange Accident and How it ite- sulted in Death, William Dixon, & section foreman on the Oregon Short Live, on July 15 found a ruil in the track, about one mile west of the snow shied, which is five milos west of toda Surings, Idabo, which was out of line on account of the prossure of the other rail With one man named Kelly to him, he un- dertook to replace it with a shorter rail ‘They had removed the spikes from the inner side of the rail, and Dixon took & elaw bar 1o pry the rall out of its place. As soon as the ‘perative assault, for twenty rail was relieved from the ‘pressure of the other rails, it sprung as if it was made of spring steel to a distance of fifteen feot, Mriking Dixon and breaking both of his logs below the knees. There he lay, both legs broken, a rail out, & passeriza* train nearly due, and only one man to help him 2 his misery aud warn trains in time to avert disaster, laordered Kelly to ot the hand car on the track ana help him upon It, and with the broken bones protruding through the flesh, he started down grade, which at the point spoken of is heavy and with notning but a shovel to push bim- solf along, he set out to meet the men from the mext section, while he sent Kelly on foot in the othor direction to meet the passenger train, Dixon had to go about threo miles before he met the men he was seeking, and it was about three hours before he could have his injuries attended to. One log was then amputated und there was hobes of his life and the other leg bewng saved. Later, however, it becama necessary to amputate the other log, and his death followed on the afternoon of July 18. s Cramps in the Muscles Cured. John I Wood, of Strattord,Ont., was cured of cramps in the legs by wearing ALLCOOK'S Ponous PLAsTERS. Mr, Wood says Some three montns ago I was taken very sick with sovere pain in the small of my back over the kidneys. The pain was excruciating. 1 applied an ALLCOCK'S POROUS PLASTER Over the affected rogion and had relief almost within an hour. At the same time in con- junction with this trouble, 1 had a very great nervous disturbance, affecting my legs with cramps 8o I conld scarcely sleep. Meoting with success with my back I applied a plas- ter under the knee on cach log, and in three days was completely cured, and have never been troubled in either way since. Joe Howard Describes Him as a Very Pleasant Young Man. Between George Gould and hisfather, Jay Gould, exists an affectionate inter- est and regard delightful to witness, writes Jos Howsrd to the Chicago News. You may have noticed that while Jay Gould and his operations have been a target for abuse, for vitu- years no man has yet come to the front with rid- icule of either him or his affairs. They say, and I believe, he cares noth- ing for newspaper assault. I can quite understand that, because very, very often I find in metropolitan papers assertions so wide of truth, conclusions drawn from incorrect bases that of course mean nothing to him or to those who are familiar with the facts, This course pursued for a long term of years naturally hardens the wman who is at- tacked. He falls back upon the cer- tainty that his associates know what is 80 and what isn’t so, and with that he is content. Jay Gould is now about fifty- flve years of age and in better health than he has been for a long time. Nev- ertheless, although his spirit is stll po- tent and his finger still indicates the way, upon George Gould’s shoulders rests the larger part of the Gould re- sponsibilities. George is about twenty-five years old, short, well built andof an extremely rugged constitution. Where he gets it I don’t know, for neither his father nor his mother gave evidence of physical strength beyond a certain _wiriness. However, George has it. Physically he is well developed to a degree; an athlete, fond of ting and outdoor sports, as brown und tanned asan Indian, quick-stepping, alert in movement and a very good fellow. Mentally he seems to ho well equipped; indeed he must be, or he could nov sustain the burdens placed upon him by his father. He couldn’t even understand the hither verge of manipulations, of operations, of schemes and programme, unless there was something to him. I have known him anumber of years and have always found him quick in sympathy, kind hearted, and particularly frank and open. with men who have business deal- i th him. Representing as he father’s very innermost soul, it absurd for” causual acquaint- ances to attempt to discuss with him, with any degree of frankness, busi- ness situations. The man would be a fool indeed who was not suspicious of the motives of one who would attempt to talk busingss to him,unless the meet- ing were for @ business purpose. But in all matters of social intercourse, where young men come tozether for the purposes of enjoyment, George is, and always has been, more than ready to sustain his fuil proportion, and where he has been uppealed to for courtesies and helpfulness, as all young men are more or less, the record shows he has uuldbuun found wanting when fairly tried. He is particularly happy in his mar- ried life. He succeeded in drawing from the stage Miss Edith Kingdon, who bade fair at one time to rank high asa profes- sional beauty. Standing on that most dangerous elevation, the dramatic stago, she, with rare good sense, ro- pelled the attention of dudes, and with Liuunl good sense accepted the honest admiration and manly offer of the brightest of her admirers. Their union has been particularly fortunate in every way, made esnecially intoresting 1o Juy' Gould in that thereby he has become a grandfather twico over, and to George because it has concentrated his attention more at home, drawing him eutively from worldly gayeties and youthful follies. I thought as I looked at him, ‘“how men differ in their opportunities in life.” I began my life in 1860, and I remember thinking then that there were just two men in the world whose opportunity I envied. One was the Prince of Wales and the other James Gordon Ben- net, jr; but now that I see what his royal nibs has accom- plished, and the extraordinary utiliza- tion the younger Bennett has made of his magnificent outlook, I don’t know that I envy either one of them; but see tho chance George Gonld has. He is now vice prosident of the great Western Union telegraph company; he is the chief officer in the Pacific Mail Steam- ship company; he represents his father’s interests and his own in thousands und thousands of miles of railway seryice, and he has in bis right hand that great- est of potentialities, money galore. Some yenrs ugo the czar saw expel the Jews from his domains, A very short time thereafter, desiring beyond question to go to war with Great Britain and to take all the risks that that wonderful determination carried with 1t, be went to the Iothschilds seeking to negotiate aloan, butthey very a ietly and meaningly informed him that if Jews wove not good enough tolive in Russia they were notkind enough to lend Russia money. We have reached that point here,as in Russia, where money is king, and monoy is power— when monog rightly directed can raise the race. Gould has the money, he has the power,and therefore, whether in car or opera-house, on the street or in the park, in multitudinous assemblage or in the calm retiracy of domesticity, he is a figure of significant interest the scope of which can not well be overesti- mated, fit to S Large Iron Girders, Twenty-eight iron girders. said to be the largest evor used, will form a por- tion of the new American Muscum of Natural History in New York.

TRAINEDBRAINS FOR FARMERS The Great Value of a Speoclal Agri- oultural Bducation. SUwe GROUNDLESS PREJUDICES. Danger of Feeding Too Much Hay— Proper Food for Cows—Fighting the Trusts—A Standard Bred Horse Defined. The Langshan Fowl. Weo have made a number of axperi- ments with pure-bred fowls this year, and tested their merits thoroughly, says th lowa Homestead. Among the class were Langshans, Light Brahmas, Houdans, White and Brown Leghorns, Partridge Cochins, Wyandottes, Silver Spangled Hamburgs and White-Faced Black Spanish, The Houdans, Leg- horns, Spanish, Wyasdottes, Hamburgs and Langshans laid the most 6ggs, in the order we have namod them, but the Langshans laid theirs ut the time eggs were scarce and brought good market prices. The Brahmas and Cochins, too, laid in the cold months, but not as many eggs as the Langshans, and they were not as large in size. For ealing, we found the Brahmas, Houdans, Cochins and Wyandotte's ex- cellent—noted for their plumpness and fine flavor, but when wo tackled the Langshans we met a meal that offset them all. While thero was no lack in plumpness, the flavor was delicious, coming so close to that of a turkey that we doubt if the best judges could not be fooled. For hardiness, we found the Ham- burgs the most delicate, while the rest of the breeds were about equal. Agricultural Education. When the results which may be ac- complished, and in many instances aro accomplished by trained men, are taken into consideration, there can bo o question of the value of special agricul- tural education to those who desire to qualify themselves for deriving the greatest profit from the products of the soil, says the National Stockman and Farmer. The man whose fil training is supplemented by a scientific knowledge of everything with whi he has to deal in growing crops or fe ing stock is by that knowledge better equipped for his busihess than his neighbor who has enjoyed none of these advantages. This is demonstrable com- mon sense, if such an expression may be used. There is altogether too much of an inclination among agricultural people to sneer at the idea of education for farming, but we believe that this is lergel A owing to the scarcity of men in- dustriously educated for the business. These school-trained farmers are so few that when a failure is found among them—and such failures must be expected right hereas well as in every- thing else—it creates a widespread but really groundless prejudice against the idea of an agricultural collego in itgoll. The idea is certain to give way as lknowledge of the facts of the case in- creases. The people have really no opportu- nity of knowing just what agricultural school training willaccomplish. Though we have forty-eight schools devoted primarily to agriculture, the usual cur- riculum " includes so much else that many attend without any idea of in- quiring into the underlying principles of farming. There are also about forty other institutions which are supposed to teach agriculture incidentally. It is estimated that in all these schools there are now probably 5,000 students preparing themselves especially foc high class farming. There seems to be an impetus in this direction just now, and this total will no doubt be largely increased in the next few years, all of which points to a time when this kind of education will be more nearly appre- ciated at its true worth. The whole subject will be regarded altogether dif- ferently by the public ten years hence, and we make L\lha prediction without any hesitation whatever. Feeding With Hay. It is the practice of some farmers to give their horses too much hay. There Bas been great improvement in this re- spect within a few months, and still thers are many farmers who have not *‘caught on” to the better way. Rural World: When a boy upon the farm, I well remember that it was a standing rule to rake down a little hay into the hor: o one went into the stuble that the horse would keep his grinders nearly all the time, and became a pot- unsightly animal. Horses fed in this way became mere machines or hay-cutt the nutrition of the hay is nol assimilated, and a large portion of it is wasted. By such stuffiug every organ in the body is interfered with, and when put upon the road or to work upon the farm, a horse so fed cannot move with any comfort until relieved of the super- abundanca of the feed. The disease known as the heaves is generally due to over-driving when the stomach is full of hay. Bulk in- feeding is necessary, but when the food is nearly all bulk an ex- treme has been reached and it is time to change. Hay shouid be fod with as much care as grain is fed. The work- ing horse should be fed three times a day on each. The horse when standing in the stable should be fed three regu- lar moals, ana this will give the food time to digest, and all the nutritive por- tions will be assimilated. Different horses will require different quantities, and in feeding a new horse it becomes a matter of experiment until his wants are ascertained. But even when experimenting , there should be some sort of estimate as-to how much a horse can utilize, and then the quantity can be approximated to it. A horse should not be permitted to lose flesh, but over-feeding with hay 18 an unkind- ness to the beast, second only to over- driving or overloading. The Best Way to Feed a Cow. A Kansas correspoudet wishes us to give a few plain divections for “the very best way to feed a cow.” We re- member to huve read in the long time 8go, “Plain directions of how to bring up a baby,” by Miss Minerva Jones. The directions” were just splendid, as Miss Minerva wrote them withouy the baby, but unfortunately only old maid’s babies will grow up by the rule, and Miss Minerva's model nursery wasu dis- mal failur Now, cows are somewhat like babies, says the Jersey Bulletin. They will not always work, or rather eat, by rule. We have read and tried not'n few ‘“'very best ways” to feed a cow, but just about the time we get them all mixed and fixed the cow says no. And when & cow says no, she gen- erally means it. The truth is o dislikes, and they except by hun not like,” In.the wide range of good wholesome food at the command of the American farmers, it is very easy to make up a large variety of rations to The result was suit any cow. As standard food, we can place corn first, oats, bran, cotton seed meal, linseed meal, ete., each to be iven Tfs' proper place, and neither tov'éxclude or usurp the place of any other, when the other can be had, (Lo the grains there, of course, will always be added hay, silage, corn fodder or other bulky fod- der.

If the sum_ of human knowledge is know thyself, the sum of cattle knowl- edge is, know thy o The Twine and Bagging Trusts, The twine and bagging trusts have brought on the opening skirmish be- tween the yeomanry of the land and the spooulative element which provoses to levy taxes for their own benefit at will. The cause that fired the patriots of 76 and changed the destiny of the Ameri- can people was an unjustly lovied tax, contemptibly small in amount, but rep- resenting the right to tax without rep- resentation. The combinations of cap- ital now presuming to dominate the commerce of the nation have again as- sumed the same right, and again the American apirit of resistance is aroused, says the National Economical. This spirtt is invincible, and the conflict now inaugurated cannot end except in the establishment of justice and the overthrow of arrogant assumption. The forbearance of the American people is only equaled by their determination; onco aroused they will never cease the conflict until their cause is vindicated and their dignity acknowledged. What s a Standard-Bred Horso? The phonomenal success which has attended the developement of the trot- ting horse makes the principles upon which it has been developed a matter of interest to breeders of live stock of all classes. The following are the rules governing the registry of standard-bred horses, says the lowa Homestead: 1. Any stallion that has himself a record of two minutes and thirty seconds (2;80) or bet- ter, provided any of his got has a record of 2:30 or better, or provided his sire or his dam, his grand-sire or his grand-dam is already & standard animal, 2. Any mare or gelding that has a record of or botter, Any horse that is the sire of two animals with a record of 2:80 or better. 4. Any horse that is the sire of one animal with a record of 9:30 or better, provided he has either of the following qualifications: 1, Record himself of 2:85 or better. 2. Is the 0 of two other animals with a record of or better. 8. Has a sire or dam that is already a standard animal, 5. Any mare that has produced an animal with a record of $:30 or better. 6. The progency of & standard horse when out of a standard mare, 7. The temale progeny of a standard horse when out of a mare by a standard horse. 8. The femalo progeny of a standard horse when out of a mare, the dam of which is a standard animal. 9. Any mare that has a_record of 2:35 or better and the sire.or dam of which isa standard animal. It will be seen from the above that there are but two principles involved; first, actual performance, and, second, the inheritance of the blood of perform- ers. It will be noticed that among these rules there is nothing said about the color of the hair, nor about fashion- able pedigrees, or any particular line of breeding. The New Jerusalem of the trotting horse breeders lies, like that of the Apocalypse, four square, has gates on every side, and admits any- thing that can_ trot at.a given speed, with their posterity,and asks no further questions. Prairie Trees from Seeds. Asa rule failure almost invariably follows the attempt to grow trees from seed planted where the trees are in- tended to stand, yet the difference in the first cost, relatively, between seed and rooted trees. or cuttings; induces many to plant seeds. The cost of secd usually required for five acres is $3 or #4, of cuttings $12 to $18, and of young trees from $20 to $30. The cost of planting trees or seed is almost as much in favor of tbe- seed, suys the American agviculturist. The only possible chance of success with the seed is when the ground selected has been previously cleanly cultivated by some hoed crop, or beétter by summer fal- lowing, and when it is put in the finest possible condition and the seed planted late in the fall. There 1s then an even chance of the seed coming up with the weeds, which must be thoroughly and systematilly keps down, or the timoe and labor are thrown away. Our prairie weeds ave easily destroyed when small, but if allowed ‘a few days growth be- come a terror to the cultivator, and will effectually smother all tree seedlings, or even good sized young trees. If the trees are to be raised fromseed, select a clean, rich piece of ground in the garden, which sfinu!d be made as fine as pussible by thorough harrowing and planking, streteh a line lengthwise the patch, and make a drill about six inches wide and two inches deep. Sow the sced thickly 1n this drill, say about twenty-five seeds to the foot, and cover with the fine earth, which should be compacted firmly with the feet or hoe, according to moisture in the soil. Other drills can be made parallel with this, about thirty inches apart, so that the grnund between can be kept cultivated y & horse hoe or harrow toothed culta- vator. If good ground is selected and clean cultivatiog carried out, the seed- lings will be of just the right size to transplant the next nprhl%‘ and by clean cultivation or summer fallowing (pre- ferably the latter) of the ground which thoy are intonded to occupy, you have the first essentials of success. But here, as elsewhere, “eternal cultivation is the price of trees.” Andrew J. Grish: county, Ill., say tried Chamber- lain’s” Colio, Chglera and Diorrhwa Remedy in my family for summer com- plaint and cholery ,morbus and it gave the best of satisfuction. It also proved z00d a8 a rruvunuvu of flux. I praise t very highly and tink it is the best I evor saw for such complaints,” All of the leading druggists in Omaha sell it. —ig A BIG MELON PATCH. Four Hundred Qarloads Expected from Kight Hundred Acres, “Georgia has the biggest watermelon patch in the world,’} said J. J. Griffin, who has just seen it, to an Atlanta Con- stitution ‘man, “Think of alane two miles long with melons on each side as far as the eye can reach. Tt is un interesting sight when the laborers go out at daybreak to gather the melons. Squads of them are moving the viues aside to make room for the wagons to go through. Others are thumping and cutting off the melons from the vines, while others follow, gathering the fruit into the wagons, “Inever saw anything like it. The largest melons will average forty pounds, and there will be lots of sixty pounders. There will be cars of 1,200 melons with hardly & melon under thirty-five or forty pounds. “The Phillips Melon company, which owns this immense melon patch of 800 acres. will make a big thing out of it. T my judgment their profit will bo not less than $150 a carload, and they :ill of Rock, Pope ship 400 cars. Sixty thousand dollars on 800 acres will beat eotton. Without disaster thoy will make such a success that the farmers who are watching them will plant an immense acreage in that section next year. How did they do it? By businoss methods, They went to work with enough cash in bank to carry out their rh\na on a grand scale, and they fertil- zed and worked the crop to the be: advantage in every way. I couldn’t tell you how many pounds of fertilizer they used, but was all they could use to advantage. **The thing is business from one end tothe other. Why, they have half their crop already said at fancy prices— 200 cars in Boston. Their estimate of 400 cars for 800 acres is a very conserva- tive one. I think it will go over that.” it -be A Dude's Great Feat. The other night five or six young men of the listloss. solf-sufficient varioty, so familidr just now, dined together in a private room ata fashionable restaur- ant, says the New York Times. After cigars had been lighted one of them drawled: YTl bet, fellows, that I can throw this knife and it will stick in the crack of that door every time.” He rose from the table and pointed out the the narrow crack between the door and the jamb, and showed how he proposod to place the knife. The five others approached the place and cried: “We take that bet. For how much?” “Tam to have ten throws. Each time that I fail I pay a $10 bill; 1f Isucceed in putting the knife in the crack ten times euch of you will pay me the same sum.’” The young man took his position, and, with a rapidity and accuracy thatwords canunot decribe, executed ten times in succession this remarkable feat. ‘When he had finished everyone hur- rahed with delight. KEacih one of his wagers boing puid, he pocketed a roll of bills with a just pride. *‘But how did you ever learn to do this?” asked one of the company. Then he revealed the secret. For two or three years, having nothing pressing to do, and anxious to be talked about,he had given himself up to patient practice at this work, Each morning he locked himself in his room, and, far from pry- ing eyes, he attompted for hours to put a koife into a hole. He had to make innumerable experiments to measure the distance required, the force neces- sary, and the curve, but his persever- ance was invincible. At first he threw the knife into the wide mouth of a Chi- nese jar; then into the neck of a bottle; finally he succeded in lodging his pro- jetile in the narrowest opening. And yet some people say that our dudes are good for nothing and incum- ber the earthl S e Whisky in Melons. A gentleman who has tried it vouches for this story: Taking a gallon jug of whisky, he passed a cord through its cork, which cord dropped to the bottom of the jug. The twine was then ntro- duced into a watermelon vine by slit- ting the vine and the vine permitted to produce only two melons. When the melons were matured ghey were served at a private barbecue o six gentlemen. The effect was astonishing. The gallon of whisky got in its work. Nota drop of the liquor remained in the jug when the melons were cipe. Sick Headache ls & complaint from which many suffer and fow are entirely fres.
