A new one bas just been added to thelist, eighty miles of street railroad in Detroit having passed into the hands of New Yorkers. It is not easy to see the reason for this phenomenon, confesses the Sun Francisco Chronicle, but the fact certain- ly exists. The determination of the height of Mount Orizaba, located about 100 miles east of the City of Mexico, is the object of an expedition that has left Terre Haute, Ind., under the charge of Dr. Beoville of that city, who is accompanied by Professor of Bloomington University and Professor Woolman of De Pau University.

Per. baps the idea may have been gathered from America, where Gettysburg and many other fields have become fami. Har with the spectacle of such re. unions of whilom antagovists. Bat the thing is absolutely novel in Europe, and the fact thas the Austrians and Saxons on the one side could bring themselves to drink with the Prussians on this scene of their historic humiliation helps’ us to measure how truly the world has been changed since the Bonaparte empire was demolished in France. Perhaps the Saxons’ part in the celebration Is even more remarkable than that borne by the Austrians, for Baxony still recalls with bitterness how barely it escaped the fame of Hanover after the Prussian victory, After this there can be no question of the entire homogeneity of the interests (and aims inside the German Empire.
