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. Tin: “ItI(} MUDDY.” 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- tively iliat odea- giitta perr s or indiu- 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 river covered up and made a sewer at, although I hain’t tasted liquor for more'n ten years, Td go right ont and get drunk tat joy.” 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.” Nature at the outset when tb Mis souri was created must hu-i b, .-..ecu what a vagabond river it would e .-i. »ni, for she la.-lti-ffiiu-d il fattdu.urtt'iUHigh- ont it- entire length befw-.«a*t-v ■ -» g.« of i, nits 1 row 'wo to lour to-•— -q—rt.

Ice-Cold Soda Water ALWAYS ON HAND. CHEAP AS DIRT. Tobacco and Cigars A SPECIALTY. 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 Herald.
