gROLISH RAILWAY CARS.
^glish railway oars generally are
Imited to three classes. Each is divided
^ t0 several compartments, mostly ionr,
each compartment being entered by a
ioot on the side, and separated by a
closed partition from the compartment
adjoining. These partitions render im
possible the characteristic long halls of
the American train, and only by mean*
0 t n small platform extending on toe
outside can one section be entered from
another. This platform is also utilised
bv the guard in collecting the tickets of
the passengers, and the same are passed
to him through the compartment win
dows. The cars being entered on the
s ido, one-half of tho passengers must
ride backward, and if tho train be full
the four persons who enjoy the window
seats are the only ones who ride with
comfort, and catch even imperfect
glimpses of the scenery through which
the train passes.
The first-class compartments are the
most expensive of all. The floor is gen
erally covered with a rug which is olean
and new. The windows glisten and are
tastefully curtained. The seats are lux
uriously cushioned.
The second-class compartments, as a
rale, are not much less comfortable than
the first. The floor is often bare, but
clean, the seats are less elegantly up
holstered. A good seoond-clhsS'Car in
England or Germany is often more rich
ly famished than the average first-class
car in Italy or Franco; but in either
conntry cushions, curtains and comfort
generally wanting in third-class
compartments. ..In the English the floor
is bare and often oovered with dirt, the
windows are dosty and the boards for
seats are hard. On acoonntof the low
rates of fare the mass of the people pre
fer this class, and the earn are generally
crowded.
Between Liverpool and London, by
the Northwestern Company’s trains, for
a first-class carriage the charge is about
$8.25 in American currency; for a second
class, 85.25 ; fora third class, only $4.
Tlie third-class compartment, too,
may be on the some car with the first;
or, if not, attached at least to the same
train. First-class passengers are allowed
more baggage than the third, although
in either cose articles that can be
crowded under tho seat go free. All
luggage is weighed but is never cheeked,
and for any excess above a certain weight
u ticket ia required.

Somr Fact* Conct-rnini/ a Very Peculiar
Hivcr*
If tho Missouri is not tho broadest or
the “ benutifuloet ” river in America,
writes a correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune, it is certainly tho most erratic,
good-for-nothing, evil-intentiom-d, en
tirely - unmanageable, devil - may - care
river, not only in America but in tho
universe.
There arc two things in particular
which tho Missouri seems to hate more
than any other; these are steamboats
and bridges. How many steamboat
Captains have been killed outright, ron-
dred partially insane, or made prema
turely old by the vagaries, snags, saw
yers and sand-banks of this vagabond
river, never will be fully known. Wo
once heard a steamboat Captain say at
St. Louis that one voyage to the mount
ains an 1 back was ns-l'e try ig to tl.e
constitution and tomi>er than ' u years
at sea. ! lie Miiue Individual -aid po<i-

rii'e'.i I lid lie utilized as a material
'•a oi u liieh to make -t .mhoat- the
i. .\i; .:..n of the Mis-ourl would never
1<- im.de to pay. Tlie Missouri had
ln—n ;|ie firnm-iiil ruin of this same Cap-
tain. Home years previon-ty he made a
venue o bring n cargo of assorted
Mtii.ii.cr edithing to the Upper Missouri;
lu- it ted for tlie mountains its soon as
the iee left the river. He was an old
and experienced navigator of the river,
and thought he knew every twist and
tn'n in it from Alton to Fort Benton,
but, to use his owu language, “The
blamed river weren’t where it was the
year before, nor nowheres near it, I
was os big a fool as if I never had taken
a boat to t'other side of the Mississippi
I ran into the bank where there was ten
to t . ’ v. utcr tho year before, anil I
sr.il d in a good deep channel where I
kta-w (hero bod been small vil-
hig.'s mid right smart of farms on my
pr. vu.iis voyage. Wc done our best,
hu«. vei, tor we and tho owner were
< .tsdly interested in the venture. We
iv, ri a/ragged no less than nine times in
a mouth; we sat up day and night and
worked the crew half to death. 'Twor
no list-, however, for by the time we
reached tho monntains the first frost had
sot in; we sold our summer clothing for
half nothing, for when we arrived it was
blankets and buffalo robes folks were
lookin’ after, and not straw hats or linen
dusters. The same vovacc broke me ud
eiean, ana O i saw mat BCasonri

although I hain’t tasted liquor for
more'n ten years, Td go right ont and

dfliculties of the Missouri, arid navigate
it successfully in spite of sawyers, snags
and sandbars; but how will the bridges
over it.be made to last ?
silly souls that they are,
triufnpHeiirter
bridges. They’ll find out their mistake
somo of these days. It made serious,
and very nearly successful, attempts on
the Omaha and on the Kansas City
bridges last spring. It tried not to
sweep them away, but to circumvent
them; Hod. the rise, been throe fe«t
higher, those gigantio structures that
cost many millions of dollars would have
heen left to span mudlioles, and the in
iquitous river would have passed tri
umphantly on one side of iheip. We
hear that Oapt Eads, the great engineer,
is going to tackle the Missouri at an
early date, and confine it to a perman
ent channel by means of coffer dams. If
he succeeds he will toko the shim- out of
De Lesseps, and it is a pity that there is
notan American peerage to wliih he
could be elevated with the title at
“Lord Big Mnddy.”

AS TO “SIRS."
An English critic of American styles’
says that it ia quite a common thing for
mnrrieil women in this country tb write
tlieir Cliriatain nnmes with the prefix of
Mrs.—ns Mrs. Sarah Jones—with entire
disregard of tho John or Alexander
Jones, who alone makes “Mrs.” pos
sible. This Mr. Richard Grant White
answers with bitterness, and asserts that
ho novor saw a name written that way
on a visiting enrd in his life I Which
remark of course menus that, in his
opinion, a woman who would do such a
thing is a person who has no calling ac
quaintance, and, consequently, no uso
for visiting cards. Now, our oxj>erionce
lias heen wider than Mr. White’a, and
we have seen cards of this kind soveral
times, but still the fact is that a card of
that sort is neither in good stylo nor
good taste. When Sarah Smith marries
Thomas Jones, if she becomes Airs, at
all bIio is Mra. Thomas Jones, and no
othor. She may, if she cl looses, coll
herself simply Surah Jones, but she is
never Mrs. Sarah till Thomas dies. Tho
giving of a visiting card is only the sumo
as announcing one’s name to a servant,
and there is a want of dignity which
amounts to indelicacy in a lady thus
cutting her most familiar name into the
mouth of the public.— Indianapolis

The moon revolves round the earth in an
elliptic orbit, with the earth in the focus;
tho eccentrioity of tho ellipse being
equal to .05401 of half its major axis, or
more than 31 times that of the earth’s

nearest to the aarth is called the perigee,
and that at which she is furthest from it
her apogee, and the lino joining these
