Tm-iv is <mo road nimjili H- in all its ap pointments and details in daily operation. It is situated about se\euty-Hvc miles east northeast from Tei list in and iskmmnns the “Kai-Ping railway.*' It was built to n^ord an outlet for the output of the col liery of the Chinese eiitfinoi ring and inin- ing company, situated about five miles front the tow n of Kai-l'ing in tin- province of China. North China. The original intention was to Itave tin line extend from tin-colliery to the town of lYn-Tang. on the seaboard, at the mouth of the river of the same name and distance from the colliery about forty miles. In- strunn nts for the sun ey of this hue were ordered in August, lSTR. and work ''its commenced, but in October the ( hine-t- government notified the Min-etnis t hat no railroad work would he permitted. I In manager then ordered 1 he survey of the Chang-Ho. a small stream running past the works, hut it was found quite impassa ble for boats carrying o\ er f lin e tups. In November. 1S7!». surveying for a canal system was begun and in October of the following year the work of excavating a ennui to connect the colliery with the near est point on the Pell-Tang river was start ed. Mut it was found that it would la im possible to bring the canal nearer than w ithin seven miles of the colliery, so the directors told the government that unless tin* permission were granted to build a line to connect the colliery with the head of the canal the company would be forced to stop work. Hut not till April. ISM, would tlu- government listen to any ap peal. and then permission was given to put down a line from the colliery to tin head of the canal on condition that only horses or mules should housed as the motive power, and that should be called a tram- wav. In the meantime the engineers had been quietlv constructing a locomotive in the shops‘out of such odds and ends as were obtainable, and the use of tlu men and ma terials for this purpose was kept a secret for fear that it would become known to the government that they were building a “lo comotive.” The locomotive was tested w ith twenty pounds of steam on the 24th of March. itiSl, and.worked well, but on the 7th of April all further work on it was stopped by order of the managing director, and on the 9th all the rails on which it had been run in the yard were pulled up, ami on the 5th of May the locomotive was shunted into a shea, presumably to let her rust out. Work was however, again begun on her, and at last, in spite of all obstacles, an en gine subsequently described was finally completed at small expense, though in the roughest manner, ow ing to want of facili ties in the shops, and whs run in the yard on the centenary of George Stevenson’s birth for the first time ; whence it was not inappropriately christened the “Rock of China." The first trial on the main line was made on the 8th of November of the 1 same year, and since then the engine has done, good service, running over 12,000 miles and supplying all requirements till locomotives could be got out from Eng land. The traffic is daily about 000 tons of coal, 100 tons of limestone, besides pottery and sundries, and also about 100 passengers who pay live cents for the seven miles. The tunnel above mentioned takes a branch line to the company's quarries, and all bridges are made for a double line of rails. Flag signWs are used, and there is a gatekeeper at each crossing. Notwith standing the fact that this road is in daily operation, runs smoothly and is a beautiful model of what a railroad should be for general traffic, its existence is ignored by the government. It has never been seen by any member of the board of public works, nor. indeed, by any other consid erable person connected with the govern ment at Peking, or of the province in which it is situated, although it has a state carriage and a fine house for the accom modation of such visitors. , indications point to an i.vernge yield fully as large as that of ISM. wln-n th** total crop was 50.000,000 bushels on 8,100,000 mor laud repo ri In Ilakota fully 12 pel* will hi- devoted to wheat tban MW *l>t f,>]•«-.

A STRANGE SIGHT. Tlioiisaii'b of Demi llml- Strew the *tn*cts Below * nn Fiectrh- Tower I.hlit. Chicago. May 10.—A singular phenome non occurred during the storm of Saturday night in the vicinity of the board of trade lower light. it was none oiler than a : shower of birds. Vcfeterday when the , watchman marie his rounds lx found the sidewalks and streets in front oft lie towel* fairly covered with dead birds of all Aorts. A little later the electrician came flown, and >\ hen he saw the great idle ofbirds, In said that it was the electric light at the top ki the tower. When he went up to the ; l\ h m with several members of the board of trade, the roof was found to be covered with dead birds, and each of the lamps in the big circle or light was filled with them, , one globe having eight birds in it. These birds are of every known variety, and , manv unknown, or rather unfamiliar species are among the lot. All shades and colors are there—scarlet, blue, pink, red. canary, mottled, black and white, and \ there'were some snipe and plovers among them. Tin theory is that they were migratory! flocks going from south to north, and were attracted by tin great light, which the mo- ■ nu nt they touched killed them. The birds are of the small species. There was a | countless number of them, enough to trim all the ladies’ hats in Illinois. Many Bo- I hemians were in the street with bags and j baskets, and in less than two hours the ; street was clear of every vestige of the j bird shower, but the roof of the hoard of \ trade is now covered, and the janitors will 1 remove them to-day. A BOSTON SCANDAL. Kml Mor) of tie* ID-nth uf n Soprano singer In* enrth«»«l by a Report <*r. Boston, May 10.*— A peculiar story, w hich promises to develop into a society scandal of large proportions, has been brought to light T>y a reporter who was investigating want he supposed to be n case of body- si .itching. Miss Ella N. Abbott, an attractive little lady of 35 years, has been for some yen s tlu- leading soprano at the fashionable Ar lington Street Congregational church in the Back Bay district. She was a musical artist of unusual ability, aud had appeared successfully in many converts in Bust on, New York, Philadelphia and otln-r cities. She had rooms at the fashionable Hotel Pelham, where slu- re ceived pupils from the first families of Boston society. Miss Abbott herself was a plump little woman , with fairer mplex ion and soft brown hair, and her refined manners and unusual talent gave her easy entree into Boston’s best social eirclss. In- tlu* church she was especially popular, * and when,,a fortnight ago, she died sud denly, after a briel illness, she was sin-* cc.*efy mourned. The cause ol* her death was not generally known, but it was un derstood to be pneumonia. Tin* funeral t"ok place at the church, and was largely attended. The body was buried in Mi. Hone cemetery. A day or two ago it began to be w his- ptred in society that the favorite singer's griixe had been desecrated by robbers. A • reporter who started to investigate the ru mor found after patient investigation that it was not strictly true, hut at the same time made the startling discovery that Miss Abbott had died a victim of malprac- ti'-c. Her grave had actually bet n opened after the funeral, hut the body had been dug up in accordance w ith a pre-arranged plan b\ the Boston medical examiner, who took it into Boston to have an autopsy performed. This course was taken to avoid unneces sary scandal, and it was hoped that tin- facts would escape publication. The au topsy was held yesterday, and last night the i»ody was returned t»> the grave. Tlu autopsy proved con'clusiveU the cause of death. THE CROPS. V.iu-ouraiduif Report** from Minnesota. Uwkoht. town it in! \\ .*,-,ui'iii. St. Paul, Minn..

Westmoreland Bros.: Nearly 1 1 two years ago X contracted malaria into system, and suffered greatly from time to time from it in various forms in which it i ! developed. Sometimes had severe thills and fevers-indigestion followed it, and I 1 was generally out of health. Last spring for more than two months I was greatly, troubled with a disordered condition of the bowels, which I believe was the result of the malaria still existing in my system. I visited two or three mineral springs cele brated for the cure of malarial diseases, without the slightest benefit. It was also treated as the different symptoms devel oped by the most skillful physicians, but was not relieved. About two months ago I concluded to try C'ulisayaTonic, prepared by Westmoreland Bros., but I must confess I had little confidence of being materially benefited by it. I have taken five or six bottles of the Tonic—from the beginning I felt relieved and continued to improve, until now I feel ipiite as well aud in as per fect health as I ever did in my life, and be lieve 1 am perfectly well.
