So much has been written and »
said about Brunswick, that to-day, i
it is one of the most widely known <
cities in the south. 1
A new year’s carnival would be a (
great thing for Brunswick. If the
merchants will take hold of it in a
business way and .each man lend his ,
assistance, it can be made a big suc
cess. There is no reason why a tirst- j
class parade and show cannot be
made here as well as elsewhere, it '
would be a good idea for those who
favor the scheme, to hold a meeting, J
and formulate plans for the carrying
out of the idea. Let’s have the car
nival by all means.

Canon Taylor, of the Church of I
England, is of the opinion that some 1
better way must be found to convert
the heathen of Asia and Africa, By
natural growth of population they i
are increasing at the rate of 11,000,- i
000 a year. By spending $10,000,000 (
a year the Protestant missionaries
convert an average of 00,000 hen
° I
thens. The numbers are constantly
swelling on the wrong side. Canon
Taylor says it is like a tortoise ra
ring with a railway train—"the lon
ger the race continues the further the
tortoise is left behind.”
We are told that the Andes are
sinking. La Gazette Geograph ique
says that Quito was 9,596 feet above
the levtl of the sea in 1745; in 1880 it
was only 9,570; in 1831, 9,567, hav
ing sunk twenty-six feet during the
years following 1745
and but three feet during the thirty
one years which intervened between
1800 and 1831. In 1868 the city’s
level had been reduced to 9,520, feet
above the level of the Pacific. To:
sum up the total, we find that Ecua
dor’s capital has sunk 76 feet iu 122
years. Antisana’s farm, the highest
inhabited spot on the Andes (4,000
feet higher than Quito, the highest!
city on the globe) is said by the
same authority to be 218 feet lower
than it was in 1745.
A GREAT UNDERTAKING.
A piece of railroad tunneling of
more than common interest is about
to be undertaken by the Colorado
Midland Railway Company. After
leaving Leadville, which is an eleva-;
tion of 10,025 feet, the road runs i
around the mountain at a distance |
of twelve miles, reaching Busk at a
height of 10,000 feet. From this
point the road zigzags up to the face
of the mountains for a distance of
five miles to reach a point 500 feet
above Busk. On this part of the
trip long lines of snow-sheds |
are erected to protect the track, and
in these drifted snow lies the year
round. The old tunnel here pierces
the continental divide at an eleva
tion of 11,428 feet, which is within .
thirty feet of the height of the Al- j
pine pass, on the Union Pacific road,
the highest in Colorado. This tun- I
nel is about 3,000 feet long. It is I
proposed to begin the new’ tunnel atl j
Busk. Its length will be 9,350 feet ,
and the highest point reached will 1
be the 10,948.7 feet. The maximum *
grade on the old line it 3 fair cent. *
The length of new line required is ,
3.5 miles, and this replaces 10.18 «
miles of old line, effecting a saving *
0f6.93 wiles. The section of the
tunnel is fifteen feet whle and 21) H
feet high. W ork was to have been n
<ommenc«*d on August 1, and it is *
expected 20 months will be needed J
to finish the contract. 4
QUAY’S SILENCE.
I 'rvm the Louisville Courier Journal ■
For lo these many moons we have
>een patiently waiting for the Hon.
datthew. Quay, United States Senator
>f Pennsylvania and pillar of the re- '
publican party, to reply to the
charge of theft, bribery, corruption
and fraud which have been flying
about his head thicker than flakes,
driven by a snow storm. That they
have reached the ears of this im
maculate professor of Christian pol
itics an<l conservator of Pennsylva
nia morality can not be doubted, for
there is not a city in the country
where they have not been printed,
and not a platform from which he
has not been denounced.
When Kennedy, a member of his
own party, one of those who are sup
posed to humbly crave knowledge at
the Quay footstool, and tn learn poli
tics ‘as she is taught’ from the noto
rious, we can not say illustrious,
Pennsylvanian, forgot his allegiance
to the republican master, and applied
to him some epithets which could
not pleasantly affect the feelings of j
an honest man, we were promised ,
that the taciturn senator would at {
last emerge from his long silence und
fire a bomb whose explosion should
roar above the small arms of his op
ponent like the discharge of an Arm
strong gun amid a fire of musketry.
But we are still waiting, and an ex '
pedant country will not be satisfied !
until it shall have received an auto- ’
biography of the Honorable Quay,’
with a full confession of his life and
virtues. Perhaps, in the language:
of Chatham, the noble senator pauses
for a reply, and when our ears are '
attuned to the proper degree we shall I
hear the report of his answering gun.
Unless Mr. Qu; y replies to Ken
nedy’s strain of invective it will no ■
longer be of avail for any of his.
partj’ friends to exert themselves in j
his defense. Even in polities, where'
mud is often slung, an honorable
man, unjustly accused, has abundant'
means of recourse, and, though these
have been at the service of the Penn
sylvania senator, he has never used
them. 11 he intends to make any
answer the present is the proper
time, or his own confession will be
added to the accusation of his cue- '
mies.

Horn Diinduess Preventable.
Statistics taken from the reports of
Fuchs, Magnus, Howe and the com
mittee of the Ophthalmologies! Society
of the United Kingdom show that at
least 30 per cent, of all blindness in
Europe and in this country is caused
by preventable disease at birth. The
census of 1880 gives a total of about
50,000 blind in the United States. Os
these at least 15,000 have been blind
from birth. And yet this disease is
well nigh absolutely preventable, and
iu its incipienoy easily curable.
Tills statement is borne out by facts,
as will be seen by reference to the re
ports of the large lying iu hospitals,
where the methods of prevention have
been in operation. After these means
were put in operation there was prac
tically an entire disappearance of the
disease. The method consists in wip
ing tlie face and lids clean and dry im
mediately after the umbilical cord is
tied. The lids are then opened and
one or two drops of a 2 per cent, solu
tion of nitrate of silser are instilled.
Except in premature children the re
action from this treatment is very
slight.—Hall’s Journal of Health.
Warranty.
A story is told of a very skillful re
[>airer who warranted all his work, pro- ,
vided no other workman made the
slightest alteration or was allowed to
handle it, as from that time forward
his warranty ended. In order tu know
whether a watch had been tampered
with he always placed the holding
screw and other ]>arts in such a jxrsi
tion that if lie found those screws or
parts in any other position he knew at
once that some one had had the move
ment out of the case or been looking at
it. He also had one invariable method
of fitting on the hands, fastening the
dial plate, etc., which w.-*s both sure to
"stay put” and enable him to detect
any change that had been made.—

I’llE EVENING POST: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12 IS9O.
The First Uareback Rider.
' James Robinson was the first man
to “cut out” the bareback ride and
make it a specialty. This was in 1847.
Previous to that time lie, like all oth
ers, rode the pad act. After 1817 he
did all his riding bareback, and went
to Europe in the early fifties and cre
ated a great sensation. He was ac
knowledged the greatest equestrian the
world laid ever known. “1 have been
credited,” said Mr. Robinson, “with
liaving been the first man to turn n.
somersault on a horse’s back; but this
is not so. The first somersault rider
was Johnny Glenroy, who did the first
flip-flap in 1847. Glenroy is still alive,
aged f>2 years, anti is clerk at the
Meramee house, Boston. I did the
first, forward somersault on a horse in
1818. People have an idea that it is
harder than the back somersault, but
it is really easier.
“The three and four ring circuses,
which make it necessary to employ an
army of cheap performers, have de
tracted from the importance of the
riding act, and there are not many
great riders nowadays. Circus owners
don't want to pay the price for a great ,
rider. They get a man to do a jockey
act for SSO or $75 a week, and they are i
satisfied. I never rido for anybody for '
less than $350 a week. ”
Rubinson's two boys are riders, though •
i one of them, Clarence, lias retired from I
: the ring and is in commercial business
lin Kansas City. Old timers will re-
I member Robinson anil his two boys,
one on his bead, the other in flying at
titude perched on the father’s thigh,
j as they appeared in their great riding
act away back in 1860. lie was then
in the zenith of his fame. Robinson
lias saved a great deal of money, and
: is utill the best bareback rider in the
j profession.—New York World.
To Produce Quicker Navigation.
The centrifugal propeller is the name
I of a new invention designed to enable
! steamers to attain extraordinary speed.
‘ Strictly speaking, the appliance is not
j a propeller at all; it is simply a re
mover of resistance ahead. The stem
I of the steamer is cut away downward
and backward from the water line, und
j here the rotary fan or centrifugal ma
chine is placed. The pressure and re-
I sistanee of the water ahead is got rid of
’ by clearing the water away, thus virtu-
I ually endowing the propulsive screw or
I screws in the stern with greatly aug
mented power.
In vessels moving at speeds up to
seven knots skin friction is the princi
pal resistance in still water, in vessels
moving at higher speed the resistance
of water immediately ahead increases
at an enormous rate with the increase
of speed. This ciui always be noticed
by the huge white wave a swiftly mov
ing vessel has in front of her—the
! “bone in her mouth,” as the sailors
term it. The object of the new in
vention is to scatter this retarding mass
as it is being entered, and by this
means it is claimed that the speed of
steamers can bo increased to the point
that will admit of their crossing the
ocean in four days. Vessels will be
fitted with this new device for experi
mental purposes both in this country
and in England, and it is expected that
their speed will be greatly in excess of
anything now afloat.—New York Tele
gram.
Quite as Well.
“Don’t tell me about Stanley and
Africa,” exclaimed a valiant old lady
who is always ready in defense of the
past. “People traveled in my day, too,
and made no fuss about it. Didn’t your
granther and I go to Bunker Hill?”
“I don’t see any need of running
round after strange sights and foreign
people,” remarks another dear old soul.
“One country’s as good as another, if
not letter!”
But the older generations are not
alone in this opinion that it is unneces
sary to view the world at large. An
English gentleman, who has seen all
the sights of London again and again,
was especially delighted with Philippo
teaux's “Niagara Falls,” a picture of the
size and scope of “The Battle of Get
tysburg” and "Bunker Hill.” Not long
ago tills Englishman found that it
would be necessary for him to take a
trip to America.
“I suppose you will visit Niagara
Falls?” said a friend.
“Oh, no,” ho replied innocently, “I
have seen that in London.”—Youth's
Companion.
Listen.
The person who never made a fool
of himself is one who was spared that
trouble by mi overruling Providence.
It is only they who stand that can fall.

In commenting on the change of base of Murat
Halstead, the famous editor of the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, to that of the Brooklyn :

star remarks that ‘‘the superior merits of an
evening paper when compared with those of a

The one is a history of to-day, the other a history
of yesterday; the one is current, the other is a

evening paper is legion. For the issue that
