The Trunk-Line Rivalry
The Pennsylvania Central line has
gained the following results, which can
not be disturbed : First, a through route
from Pittsburgh,. Columbus and Logans
port to Chicago; second, a through route
from Columbus ' lndianapolis and Terre
Retute to St. Louis; third, a new line to
be completed northwest from Indianapo
lis via Danville to Pekin, Illinois, and
thence to the Mississippi; fourth, a more
direct route to Cairo by way of the new
Terre Haute and St.- Lo is road - and the
Illinois Central;, fifth, direct route via
i i
Cambridge and Cohn us, Indiana, to
Jeffersonville, and the rotes thence south
-weld; and, finally, whe the Little Miami
lease is completed, a throtfgh route from
Columbus,Obio, to Cincinnati, and thence
to the system of roads which must diverge
from this point for Southern business.
Whatever may be the result of the contest
for the control of the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago road, the Pennsyl
vania Central has secured its western and
southein outlets ,to Cincinnati, Louis
ville, Cairo, St: Lohis, Pekin and Chicago.
The Erie line has secured beyond perad- .
venture an 'excellent consolidation broad
-gauge line from New York to Cleveland
and . Cincinnati, ' and close connection
westward to St Louis over the 0. & M.
' road, with good connections from Louis- :
Till, Evansville and Cairo; also that which
is of more importance to its Interests, an
abandonment of the reduction of gauge
on the 0. & M. line, which had been al
ready begun, and at each of the important
centers on our Western rivers is prepared
to enter on active competition for busi- l
ness with the narrow gauge lines.
The Baltimore & Ohio line, by assum-,
ing control of the Marietta & Cincinnati
road, and having the advantage of short
est'distance to tide water from Cincin
nati, enters the field of competition for
Weßern' business, with a consolidated
line from Baltimore to Cincinhati, and by
reason of its close connections with the
Indianopolis, Cincinnati & Lafayette
road, a virtually consolidated route to St.
Louis over a new road from Indianapo
lis to Terre Haute, thence to St. Louis
via Paris and to the North*est by the con
nections over the Chicago & Great East
ern and at Lafayette to the West by the
Toledo, Wabash & Western for Spring

A. New Hotel Experiment.
A citizen of Boston , recently - bought a
house in one of the , aristocratic streets of
that city, and transformed it into a hotel.
The proprietor designed making the
building.ten or fifteen stories high, but
yielding to the advice of friends, conten
ted himself with eight stories. The
building has a steam elevator and •two
dumb waiters, the advantage of which are
thus described by the proprietor:
"My. own bedroom is in the eighth
story, one hundred and fifty feet from the
office. On going home to-day for dinner
I at once rode in the elevator to my own
floor, and suggested to my wife that we
should dine in our own parlor. Turning
to the mouth of the speaking tube; I
blew—ringing the bell in the office, which
. threw down a silvered ball, which Judi
: cated the number of my room. The
clerk at once asked, 'What is wanted?'
I replied that Iwould have sugh and such
articles for dinner fir my wife and self in
7, fifteen minutes. The articles were put in
a little portable cupboard with non-con
ducting sides, placed in one-of the dumb
waiters at the right time and sent up to
the eighth floor, giving notice to the
waiter on that floor that my dinner was
coming-up. The waiter spend the table
and left us in peace and quietness to dine
at our leisure. No servant had ascended
a single flight of stairs. If I had rung
the hell on the eighth story of an ordina
-1 ry hotel; I should have had to wait fit
teen minutes for the waiter to eome, then
I should.haye' had to wait half an hour
t. for the food to come, with the waiter put
' fing as if he had been running a race.
•4 'This would .have been unsatisfactory
.! to ifs all, and an additional expense as
Every tenant furnishes his own rooms,
and the hotel' is so arranged that the most
absolute privacy is secured. The prices
of suites of rooms range from S3OIY, to
$2,000; but the situation is in Beacon
street, and although high for moderatein
comes these rents are &asp for theta - 1' 1 bl!
tocratic location.
_ r Bayonet C f nargeo.
The French joiimals are now earnestly
debating the question whether opposing
armies frequently cross bayonets. It is
asseted that in all the wars of the first
Empire there were only two actions in
.7 which troops actually met at the bayo
i net's point. One was in 1805, at Amt
.' stetten ' when Ondinot's grenadiers at
, f: tacked the grenadiers of the Russian rear
1, guard, and the bayonet engagement last
:: ed several minutes. The second instance
was at Lutzen, in 1813, when the Twenty.
l• fifth Regiment of the Lino, piqued that
- the Emperor seemed to doubt its prowess,
fought the whole day ivith the bayonet,
without burning a cartridge.
Itia argued that the phrase "bayonet
.
encounter," ha the ordinary language of
the soldier, means "a pressure altogether
..` c moral," and that the shock of troops,
which is ordinarily called an attack - or
chargeat the pnint of the bayonet, shouid
`:=. be mere accurately named a "bayonet
demonstration." As an illustration of
-,1 the truth of this statement, the statistics
•;;;, of the United. States Surgeon General,
collected from the battles in the late re
;2. bellion, are cited. From the' records it
appears that during the first threeyedrs of
the war, only one hundred and five sabre,
.:and one hundred and three bayonet
; wounds were reported from the whole
7: field operations. and of theie only two
thirds were received in action. Only
twenty-five sabre wounds were reported
as the result of Sherldan's many "fierce"
cavalry and infantry encounters in 1864
and 1865.
ROTARY AtiOTION..--.A. method of con
i:Terting an alternating rectilinear motion
into a continuous rotation has recently
e„ been patented in Paris, by which the ise
of the connecting rod is dispensed with,
and the length of the machinery consid
erably shortened. The precise nature of set
'the arrangement will be difficult of expla. nel
'nation without the, aid of a diagram but, not
:in general terms, it consists in atta ching the
:firmly to the axle of the fly wheel a half no
nave, thetirctunterenee of which is equal COI
to the stroke of the rectilinear motion.' the
;This half nave has two grooTes in it, of dui
;wedge-shaped cross section, which play Ent
two corresponding wedge•shaped At. cat
Itachments to the frame.shaped cross head. dit
;Of these attachments there are two above r
:and two below on the frame, and it is by
these means that a continuous rotary mo
,tiOn is produced.
Mammoth Explosion—Flirty 'Pomade of
IfltrO-Glycerin - Exploded ln_ : an 011
Well.
On the Mason farm a well hts been
~
sunk to the depth of over eight hundred
feet, which has hitherto yielded but little
oil with abundance of gas. The proprie
tor, Jonathan Watson, sq., determined
i r
to try the effect of a eavy charge of
nitro-glycerine, and esterday fifty
pounds were exploded . Mr. Mowbray
and his assistants, in the jpresence.of Mr.
Watson,• Mr. John Fowler and several
- visitors. 'Two cartridges were prepared,
the onetwenty-five inches in length, the
other thirty-five inches in length, and
each five inches in diameter. These were
connected by a short copper wire, thirty
feet in length, so as to adjust the two
chaiges, immediately opposite two mud
veins, which were known to )be
that distance apart, the heaviest charge of
thirty pounds nitro-glycerine being at_the
lower vein, 783 feet deep, the lighter '
charge being at the upper vein. Twelve
exploders were inserted in the largest
cartridge, and eight in the other, forming
a train of twenty exploders, which, by
means of insulated wire, were connected
about 250 feet from thb well with an elec
tric battery. Everything being arranged
the order was given td fire. In an instant
the discharge took place, and a report like
a cannon fired from a distance, accom
panied by a very pereeptible vibration of
the earth around, was noticed by all pres
ent. The result of the explosion on the
'Veil cannot be ascertained until the well
r, i
has been tubed andt ' e water (a column
of 720 feet) has been pumped off. The
indications are that s heavy an explosion
(the bale of the cartridge, which was ie
covered, proved the terrible ~ force exer
ted,) must have . penetrated the'mud veins
for a considerable distance. -
The operation was 'entirely satisfactory
to all parties, and the 'ability to safely
fire these charges with as much care as a
firecracker has been demonstrated.—

Bituminous Coal Discovered In . Montana
—Revolution in the Fuel Market.
We were shown ye.sterday, a superior
article of bituminous boa' from the recent
discovery of Mr. Cooper, near the cross
ing of the Dearborn. The coal bed is
about half a mile this Side of the station.
and near the stage road on the bluff. The
vein is at this time ialne feet thick, and
the tunnel pierces
. 1t about thirty feet.
The character of the coal improves with
'the progress of the tunnel, and the
presence'of tar In the specimen is apparent
to the senses. The discovery of this coal
vein so near to the metropolis should.
cause a revolution in the fuel rrarket of
the territory. We are informed that it
can be brought and sold here at the low
price of $22 per,ton, and as a ton of coal
is equal to four or Jive cords of wood, its
introduction would drive the latter, at
current prices, entirely out of the market.
Then, too, in the Jefferson and other
silver and lead districts, there is a present
and prospective demand for coal to be
used in smelting. Now the furnaces use
wood coal, which has always ruled at
high rates—too high, takes in connection
with the price of labor, to warrant the
working of other than the very richest
description of ores, yielding 25 and 30
per cent. of metal. There are lodes only
twenty miles distant from Helena that
readily_ produce this large result, and we
see no Other reason why they, and others
less rich, cannot be supplied with coal at
the figures above given. This would jus
tify the working of almost any discovery
in that district, and the shipment of the
metal East.—Helena Journal.
The Forests of.Callfornla.
It is asserted that a sweeping destruc
tion of timber is now going on along the
line of the Pacific Railroad over the Sierra
Nevada, which, unless checked, will oc
casion a loss of millions of dollars to the
United States. Tlie land from which the
timber is taken is rendered almost entirely
worthless and unsaleable. This informa
tion is derived from a party of surveyors
attached to the United States Land ()dice,
who have recently returned from a bud
mess visit to this region, and who report
that private individuals having saw-mills
along the Truckee river and elsewhere,
• are cutting down timber on Government
Rinds by hundreds of millions of feet,
_ and that other persons are cutting cord
wood in like quantities. One contract
for wood to the extent of one hundred
thousand cords of wood was recently let
by the railroad company, and it is under
stood that the contractors are cutting, or
propose to cut it on_ Government lands.
T is wood is carried out along the entire
rod, now completed nearly to Salt Lake.
P rties are alsir cutting down the timber
fo wood and sending it out along the
track for sale to private individuals, and
otheis are cutting it in the canons for
hauling by teams to Virginia City and
other places for the use of the quartz mills.

The Newly Enfranchised Colored Citi
zens of lowa.
The happiept men in town, yesterday,
were our lately enfranchised fellow-citi
zens' of color,' who, tor the first time in
their lives, participated •in an election.
There were some fifty or sixty registered,
and they were nearly all on hand at the
polls in the morning. There was some
effort made on the part of a few Demo
craffito deceive them, and to buy or coax
themlnto voting the Democratic ticket,
but we are not aware that they succeeded
In any instance, though it is reported
that they did in one pr two. As a body,
the colored men voted the Republican
ticket, going to thepolls quietly and be
having themselves like good citizens, as
they are. The colored voters did well;
and we are not aware that any Democrat
objected to their voting or staid a*ay
from the polls because he had to vote
with the niggers. Colored suffrage is a
fact, and it is going to be a fact in lowa,
as 1;g as any .kind of suffrage.—Bur

ArairirrYirsci.-As is well . knoirn,
_ordinary photograp by . is Most cases ten
expensive for use pa illustrating' books,
etc. An effort therefore has been made to
adapt photography to lithographic print
ing, and this branch of photography, or
photolithography has been bronght to a
high degree of perfection, as far as the
reproduction of lines and dots is con
cerned, in the copying of maps, pencil
drawings, etc.,lt, however, has been
found very difftplt, if not impossible, to
print photographs on stone, that shall, re
produce the delicacy and effect of the
original pictures. The grain of the stone
interferes with the requisite fineness of
the result; and without grain, a litho
graphic printing in surface shading is im
possible. By a recent invention of an
artist in Munich, named Albert, these
difficulties are said to have been obviated;
and images, printed on a lithographic
press - by the new process, are asserted to
be astonishingly like photographs. The
printing is made, not from stone, but
from glais plates.
CAST IRON AND STEEL, In large masses,

practised in France. It consists laboring
a cylindrical hole of two or three inches
in diameter in the place where the frac

serting a steel plug fitting the bole accu
rately, and then allowing the hammer of
a pile driver to fall upon it from a height
of. ten or fifteen feet.. A single blow gen
erally suffices to break apart a mass, of
metal from two to three feet thick.
