It will require time to establish a current of air flowing with great swiftness through a tube perhaps thousands of miles in length.

OTHER < 'U’NTIiTE.S AHEAD Or I .*’. "I will now quote, ’ said Colonel Pierce, "from the La. t annual report of the postiuustcr /general. 11 says. ‘The recommendation is made in conned ion with the special delivery service, that investigation be ‘■rarted at once to ascertain whether the pneumatic tube sys tem now in successful operation in London, B( rlin and Piui -may not be economically in troduced in the great cities of th is conn’:., for the bem-iit, n<>t only of special delivery, but by an enlarged system of tubing for the transmit don of all the great mails between the post uffi'cs and the various jMist.il and railway stations.’ “ x<>u, snid the colonel, "this shows tlirg Ih run, Pans ami London arc away ahead < f us. "In Ik'ii in,n carriages were propel]c4* t»e tw» ii lii'.'h Jiolbc.ru and the Gme al I'ost <>ffice in l.onJcn. laden with mail b;u.' , at thirty miles an hour, the iron carriages weighing .’MWi pounds. Ami this was operated for manv years until replaced by more exten sive lines. "The little tubes nor.’ used by telegraph lompanioc and for the transmis.-m it of cash in large stores ma essarily have to contend with many obstacles which a large tube for the transmission of freight ami passengers would m»t have to moot, the chief one of which is the greater friction the air meets in passing through a smaller tube in comparison with what would be the case if driven through a polished steel tube instead of the common castings now used for pneumatic tubes. RIGHT or WAY COSTS NOTHING. "One great advantage of the pneumatic rail way is that the right of way costs nothing. 1 consider that the present moans of communica tion is, in comparison with this, far slower and more inconvenient than the old stage coach would be compared with the fatust passenger train. And as to cost, after careful investiga tion of the facts. I see no reason why, when everything is taken into account, freight and uusm ngeis could not be sent across to England below the Atlantic by die pneumatic tube at the cost to the carrier of not over one per cent of the present methods.” "I v.ill be glad to give information to any one on the subje t,’’ the colonel concluded, "as nothing wmil'l sJiow whether tlie project is practicable or not better than to have the matter thoroughly sentilated by the press.” Till: ATLANTA BIGAMIST. fellow Burton—the man who married so many people I mean—must be a dandy, ami don’t you forget it,” remarked a member of the jiolicu force yesterday. And why?" he was asked. "Just read this and you will see whv,” said the otliecr. As he spoke Gio officer handed out a piece of paper. The paper was soiled, but the deep, blue lir.es through it could be plainly seen, notwithstanding the soiled white paper. The piece of paper was small, but the message upon it was still smaller. The message read : "At H »uu‘, January 21, Dear Pana and Mama: I Iftve the man 1 have rim away with buiter tlinniile itself and wekre going to get mar ried. 1 ci-nl l not live without him, so Igo to snare , his lot in the no: 11, be it what it may. Your diir | ling daughter. ai i?y.’’ 1 The young lady, whose name vxas sig.ieu o the note, was the daughter of a Mr. William Smith, a planter in Walker county. It aj»- pears that Burton had been corresponding witli Miss Smith before he went away from Atlanta to escajio arrest because of his multi plicity of wiws. The correspondence, how excr, was in all probability that which saved Burton from arrest. When the bigamist found that he bad played to the end of his rope in \tlantii, and that he had t » move out, he bethought himself of Miss Smith, w’.ih whom he had been corresponding, and de cided to seek her. lie went, if the latest ac counts are correct, direct to La Fayette, in Walker county, and from there moved on to the Smith plantation. To the elder people hu was wholly unknown, but being a lair specimt n of man secured employment on ' the farm. S<x»n after he began work ho made himself known-to the young lady whom he had ! never before met and in a short time began re- ; \ ealing a story of love to her. The young lady ! listened to the story of love as poured into her car by the si ranger and then with no word of warning to her parents, but the ’note, went away. The father, a hard-work in st, industrious f irmer, whoso entire life had been givtmio the accumulation us aeomj eteney for his 'laughter, I found the note in lur room before he dis- ! covered that his daughter and farm ham! had ; gone. Then he ivmembered the stories he had ' read of Burton, and became thoroughly con" i vinced that h ; s daughter had eloped with the | sextuple bigamist whose fame had been i printed in the Atlanta papers. Hoping to rescue his child, he came to Atlanta, where bo arrived yesterday, but so far he has heard nothing. Life si ems hardly worth the living today to many a tired, unhappy discouraged woman, who is Mitfering from chronic female weak ness, for w Inch she has been able to find no re lief.

Gives His Ob servat.o isef Virginia. WADING THE COLD SHENANDOAH •‘l've lived on F'.ynt ri’.<-r er heap,” <Oll - tinued Plunkett, a« all had gathered around ! the iire.side, but I didn't know er thing e;bout rivers till I got up in Virginia. You i ask any old Virginia soldier what he thinks of the Shenandoah 1 i < r and the cold chills will run up and down his bavkbone as soon as the wo; .Is leave your mouth. Tl>o Shenandoah is the coldest river n the world, I reckon, and d.< ;<• is 1,0 se!di‘ r what followed Lee but what wiulkl it more titan onte. It fairly cut er fel- I low in two eitl.< r in summeror winter and that aint all, folks what was never in the army don't know what it is to wade er river. If you stop 10 pull off your shoes you get erway behind ami it will take you two or three hours hard : tagging to catch up and it you don't pull off your shoes the gravel and sand will get in your I shoes and socks and make you wish you was er yaller dog before you got it out and so it goes, and every old soldier w ill tell you the same thing. I rather be wallowed in the snow and I ice any time than to wade the Shenandoah.’’ T'iie oid man stopped to put the fire in his : pipe, ami then seating himself in a eomforta ' ble position, proceeded: “Folks can't be made to understand what ; genuine soldiering is, and you needn’t talk to erbout it. Fighting yansees ain't the ; worst part of soldiering. I’ve seed men march through the mud and slush, so dark you couldn't see your hand before you, and every once and awhile you’d hear er fellow stumble i ami fail and flounder erround in er mud hole till you'd think he was erbout to drown, and when he’d'get on liis feet ergin the first word you'd hear from him would be, ‘I wish er mil lion yankees would come right down on us.’ mid that's the way lie felt. I’ve seed men sleep walking crlong the road, and you’d bet ter not tackle ’em then either, for when men [ got in that sort of fix they itiight mighty hard and take it as er sort of desert. ‘‘And soldiers didn't have no more clothes than what they needed, and they didn't have no more to cat than what it took to keep cr fellow fat, and 1 seed one mess, as they were called, one night that would er whipped any yankee regiment you'd er brought before them and it was this way: ""The soldiers 011 the march would cut down er tree at night and make their iires and would use the stump for cr bread tray, smoothing oil the top of the stump and working tip their dough on it. Some of the ‘mess’ would go to the branch and get water, another would make the lire and another would make up bread and cook. One night, just this side of Winchester, when it was raining like bringers the soldiers stopped in 'er niece of woodsand struck camps and the first rations that they had got 'er hold of in three days was given to the fellow what was going to do the cooking that night and he poured out the flour on top of the stump that was fixed and made up the dough and then turned errounrl ’er fixing of the oven and iid and when he turned back to his dough he seed it all running down the sides and on the ground. The rain had melted his dough and • lie flour was all lost. The cook was too full to ay anything; he .jist rolled up in his blanket and went to nawing on ’er raw irisli potato and left the other fellows to do the cussing. He warn’t needed in the cussing business for the other fellows done enough of it and I don't be lieve it was marked down ergin ’em either, lor them were hard, hard times. "When we got down to Fredericksburg, after coining out of Maryland, everybody was as good as naked, anil something bad to be done. The officers said build winter <pi.irteis, for they thought that the yankees were going to be quiet till spring, ami; so the soldiers went to work and built little pens, something like potato houses, and covered ’em with dirt and every thing was er moving eriong pretty well, till one morning just before day, Longstreet's sig nal-gun went bum and erway down the river Jackson's signal answered back b-u-m. We knowed it was er fight and so it was—the first battle of Fredericksburg. Snow was on the ground, and Lee's army was naked, you might say. and after old Burnsides was run back erctoss the river the boys Went on the battle field and dressed themselves up. You young sters that don’t know nothing erbout war may think it was mighty wrong to strip the dead, but it warn’t, for Lee’s army had to have clothes and they didn't have no where else to get 'em. "There was one fellow, thoughthat didn't get no clothes and he froze to death in er few nights after, but it haiut no harm in telling you erbout what kept him from getting 'em. Three of 'em was in er ‘mess’ together and they went down on tiie edge of Fredericksburg on the night the battle closed, and they seed er dead yankee er laying cold and stiff, with his grins right straight out on cither side, and he had on er mighty new overcoat, and the three proceeded to get it off. They raised him on his feet and one of ’em got on one side and another 011 the other side, anti were trying to bend the stiff arms, when the fellow that was holding him up give a quick jerk which turned the dead body and brought the stiff arms around with it and the open palm slapped Ned in the face, and it smacked as natural as if the yankee had er been erlive and done it. Ned didn't stop to ask questions. He turned his face for camp, and er way eriong up the long slant of Marie's heights there was snow enough to see him plain as he'd bounce over ridges like er ball, and ho come mighty nigh running himself to death before he got to cantp. You couldn't make him believe nothing but that it was a ghost that slapped him, and he wouldn't have nothing more to do with getting overcoats tiiut way. and so he froze to death pretty soon after that, one night on picket. "It’s not every one that knows it," contin ued Plunkett, "but Lee's army had more Georgians in its make-up than did any other state. That's what makes nie so mad when I think of old Sherman tr coining down here, and er cutting such a dash. "North Carolina was next to Georgia in furnishing troops for Lee. and then camo Virginia. Texas had one brigade, includ ing the Third Arkansas regiment, which was the only regiment Arkansas furnished to the Virginia army. South Carolina didn't have many ; Mississippi didn't have no great sight; The Alabamians were mostly- with the Ten nessee army, and Florida kept out of the cold climate of Virginia by doing sen ice somewhere on the coast. The snows of Virginia wouhl'nt er suited them. I gues“. “Georgia and North Carolina bore the brunt of the service in Virginia, though there were lots of troops from other states that was just as good as Georgians or North Carolinians, as far as they went. "There wasn't int one trouble erbon the North Carolina soldiers they liked to have cr plenty to cat and they kept their eyes skint for turnip patches and siel; like, and when camp i was struck at night they'd go back to get s -h I things without ever thinking erbout distance, - and I never seed but on ■ tired North Carolina ' soldier during the war. and he was er fellow ' that had er mania for playing chuek-er-tuek ' One day. ou the road, this fellow seed er p< n of ear-corn and he spotted it. for grains oi < orn was what the chtuk-er-hick fellows used for cl.ips.

S.'.bgk. HEAVY SNOW STORM. Maine Railroads Suspend the Running of Trains. Boston, January 2d.—Reports this morning from various points in Maine, New Hampshire and \ eruiont state that the heaviest snow storm for yi rs prevailed all night, and in most places it is still snowing. Snow fell from ( fifteen to eighteen inches and travel is greatly I impeded. Many trains have entirely suspend | ed and the liighwaysarc practically impassable. 1 2e dispatch from Bellows Falls, \ ormont.says: I A solid blockade of snow exists in all directions j today. There was previously about two leet I on the ground, and last night tho heavy fall of i eight... -ii inches added to the previous amount, i It is still-itov. ing and a high wind is piling it i up in all directions. No train shave arrived or left on anyof the roads. The same conditions :->e reported within a radians of twenty-live miles. Biddeford. Maine, reports that lhe roads are everywhere blockaded, and up to 11 o'clock to day no train has passed over either division of the Boston and Maine. The morning express which li ft Portland at 7:30, is snowed in near Old Orchard. Help has been telegraphed for. Engines and snow plows were sent from Port land. Streets about the city arc almost, im passable, and none of the schools are in ses sion. New York, January 26.—Reports from eastern and northern New York show that the storm is almost as severe in those sections as it is in New England. It. began last night, and by morning over a foot of snow had fallen. A high wind then set in, and the snow is pil ing up in great drifts. A dispatch from Albany says that all rail roads centering, there are in bad condition, and trains are many hours late. A high wind is making matters worse each hour. The As sociated Press correspondent at Middletown reports the limited express from St. Louis, on the Erie road, fast in a snow drift one mile west, of that city. The track at that place crosses low, flat' meadows, and tho high wind has drifted the snow until it is higher than the cars. The limited had been in the drff over three hours when the dispatch was sent, and as the drifts are growing larger, the prospects for its getting out soon are poor. Three other trains are stalled at the same place. At Port Jervis snow began falling at (1 p. 111. I yesterday, and continued until this morning, eight inches being added to the mass already on the ground. Early this morning the winil began blowing furiously from the west, making huge drifts. Travel on the Erie railroad is almost suspended. No trains from Now York have reached here, though some have, got within a few miles of the village. An express train from the west, which passed thr< ngh here at 10 o’clock this morning, is stalled in a snow bank. With the aid of two engines it made but six miles all day. More than a dozen engines on the mountain "side near this place, are making efforts to get through, aided by all the men po-sible to be secured. All freight trains have been abandoned. .Drifts on the railroad in many places are ten feet deep, it is the worst block since 1857. A terrible snow storm is raging along too west shore of Lake Gbaniphim. Jr is the worst storm that has visited this section in year . Two feet of snow Las already fa-lon. It is drifting badly, and trains are many hours late. At Concord, N. If., a freight train is off the track on the Northern railroad at East An dover. This, in addition to the storm, will I effectually block the road, No trains have ; reached here since last night over the White i Mountain division of the Boston and Lowell railroad and none been sent out. Tho snow still continues and the wind has increased in force. Reading. Pa , reports the worst snow storm that has visited that section for several years prevailed there today. It was' only about a fopt deep on a level, but it drifted to such.an extent and was accompanied by such violent wind that some of the country roadsides are simply impassable. Trains on the Reading railroad and branches were all late from thirty minute.; to tw 0 hours, ami on the Reading and Columbia railroad a train w hich was flue here, at half-past two o'elo.’k this afternoon, is not expected in tonight, as it is lying between two snowXlrifts at Marietta Junction. At some places along the railroad snow lias drifted ten and fifteen feet deep . A similar state of affairs exists throughout tlie coal regions and in e<*iisiN|uence not a single colliery was in op eration this afternoon and not a ton of coal has been shipped since yesterday. All trains ducat Boston from the noitli and east arc from tom- to eight hems late, and on ; many roads all freight trains have been aband oned. A t Old Orchard a snow plow with I three engines attached, is fast in a snow bank, : ami almost hidden ftoin view. The snow i< light, and drifts badly. The wind is high, and I about two feet of snow has alredy fallen, and I still no signs of a let up. It is the worst - storm that has visited New England in :A year;. At Albany the wind was blowing at a rate oi | forty miles an hour today, and at eleven o'clock tonight it is going down. Snow has drifted in the country reads, making them im passable. Telephone and telegraph wires are down or crossed. Horse car tracks are drifted full, and suburbans have not run since noon. At that hour all traffic on the Delaware and ' Hudson railroad stopped, and between Bir ■ uiingham and Rouses Point not a wheel is : moving. Boston trains reached there several ' hours late this afternoon, but none have j come in since. They are stuck in | drifts in western Massai hiisetts. Several have : started toward Pittsfield. On tlie Erie Cen -1 tral railroad all trains are hours behind. 1 though men are trying to keep the tracks open, j A train due here "nt 1 this afternoon got. stuck in an eleven foot drift a few miles west of here, requiring nine engines to move it out. No trains have come from down the rivet since nightfall. Several are tied up between here and I’oughkeepsic. The West Shore has been tied up since noon. Neb..
