One of the objections to the construction
of a railroad from the Missouri to the Pa-
cific, when that project was first an-
nouneed, was the barrenness of a large por-
tion of the country through which the
road would pass. The " alkali district,
through
catcd, was
all hope of rendering productive, 'lnis
statement was admitted to be true by the
friends of the enterprise, and the vait ex-
tent of countir known as the " alkali dis-
trict" was regarded as utterly worthless
for agricultural purposM. It la. tf ue that
some experiments, made by wwy' officers
* proved that
,bles grown upon
igly flavored" with
un uro , when dried and
ground, made a very fair baking-powder,
ut the seoond crop contuined but a slight
trace of the itlkali, while a third crop was
entirely free from It. This was the only
; we have geejrwrhiclUndi-
"nalkiílfñó lan'^mto^ÜIeflcitls!'0^
But now comes the astounding discov-
ery that since Uie railroad lias been built
and operated, these bad lands—this soli,
Impregnated with saleratus—are becoming
green with wholesome and nutritious
grasses, upon which theherds of the plains
feed and grow fat. The reasonable pros-
pect is that these desolate plains are now
undergoing a change whlcn will soon fit
tliem for all agricultural purposes. There
seems, as yet, to be no scientific explana-
tion of this remarkable transition from ut-
ter barrenness to exuberant fortuity. The
onty theory givenis that the railroad ha«
produced the charts^ 1 How the iron track
and the passing trains have wrought this
wonderful change is not included in this
development theory. No other or better
reason being ready for use, the wonderful
phenomenon is set down to the influence of
the iron rails and the locomotive.
But the theory of change as produced
by the railroad upon sterile land is backed
up by a precedent which it is claimed is
affordeu bv the construction of the Hanni-
bal and St. Joseph Railroad. The lands
along the line, of that road, at the time it
was located, were held to be worthless for
agricultural purposes, «id it wbs only
from the advantages which the liHe pre-
sented in securing a large through busi-
ness, that the location was considered at
ail justifiable. '1 ho project was one which
Eastern capitalists indorsed, while West-
(rn men wlio knew thecohntry considered
it destitute of any advantages so/ar as lo-
cal traffic was concerned. The road was
built, and, after being in operation a few
jrears, the crtiaracter^of tlic soil along the
are as fine farm-lands in that barren region
as can be found anywhere. The local
business furnished by the products of this
land to the Hannibal and St Joe, and by
tin) people engaged in their cultivation, is
said to bo very iarge and is constantly in-
creasing No other reason for this chango
in the character of the soil la given than
tho influence produced by the railroad.
There is no explanation of the process, but
the fact Is held to be conclusive.
If it be true that a railroad makes fruit-
ful tho barren soil, a new influence not
heretofore realizedla to be classed among
its advantages. It v/ould seem that the
laat days are at hand when, according to
the propbptlc'vpice, "tho wilderness shall
blossom as the rose.' —Dayton (Ohio)

One in a Thousand.
A-pair of .VUmiqgtORlans who had
made up their minds ana hearts to become
Óh9, went to Philadelphia lately to have
the everlasting knot tied, which the tier
enjoins no man to break asunder. But
the twain were not made one, according
to contract, and this is how it happened i
They liad their eye single to a particular
Sreacher who was called over from Cam-
en, N. J., to marry tliem. Either the
rules of his denomination, or the laws of
the State, or some other resulatlon, re-
quired him to obtain and record the ages
of all persons whom he Joined in wedlock,
together wlthother particulars about their
>arents and ancestors. The preacher set

J ed the young .man his age. and-he re-
ied "Twontjft-six." He asked the
young woman the same question and she
refused to answer. She was told that pro-
ceedings must' stop unless she answered
truly, as he lioped to be married. Sliu
thought a long time and replied, "Thirty-
one." This was rathor stunning to tnc
bridegroom. He reconsidered, and finally
resolved to go no further in that business.
He explained that his Intended mother had
Informed him that her daughter was only

considered the compact broken becati
the deceit practiced upon him, to which
the young lady was a party. She tearfully
granted the justice of the decision. She
was deserving of it better fate, for she is
one maid in a thousand whs would tell the
truth abóutner age under any pressure
whatever. The pair returned to Wllmlng-
ton on different trains.
The Man With a Horn.
■I past.
He may be In the river; he may be hang-
ing to a tree in tho outskirts—no-one
knows. About three months ago he
joined a brass band and took his horn
íome and practiced with It. The neigh
bors didn't say anyt hing at first, but as
the " toots " began to thicken pcoplo be-
gan to grow ugly. Jacob was In a hurry
to learn, and he made a regular business
of blowing that horn from seven o'clock
In tho morning until ten at night, resting
not more than two hours. Men and wom-
an remonstrated wilb him, but he said if
they didn't like his tooting they could
move away. The police were consulted,
but they replied that brass bands were a
public necessity. Boys threw brickbats
through Jacob's whidow, but he hitched
his chair arouud out of range and made
the old horn scream like a locomotive.
Letters threatening his life were sent to
him, but he thrust the horn out of the
window and tooted defiance at the senders.
A few nights ago he started to go to Ar-
belter Hall, and that Is the last seen of
him. At midnight that night a watchman
at one of the saw-mills heard wblspqrs be-
hind a lumber pile, a splash in the water
and all was «till. Catharine Street pre-
serves a quiet, blissful peace, unbroken by
a toot, and Jacob Grasher is' probably
better off, np matter what his fate.—De-
troit Frit
A correspondent writing frOtai Fort
Klamatnaaya: "I strolled over to the
westward of the guard-house, to where
four mounds of earth, rising above their
sister soil, cover the mortal remains of
Cfep'aln Jack. Shonchtn. Black Jim and
Boston Charley. A plain white board at
the head of each grave, with the name of
Its occupant and nate of execution (Oct.
30,1873) lettered thereon, tells who lies
beneath. A short distance away stands
the scaffold from which they swung from
time Into eternity."

To Restore a Crape Veil.—Take an
old piece of crape and dip it into a cup of
vinegar, and sponge the veil off with it.
Then pin the veil down nicely to a pillow
and let it dry. The veil will look like new,
and this can be dono whenever it grows
rusty.
Knit Under Sleeves.—Use number
fourteen needles, and six-thread embroid-
ery fleece. Cast on forty-ttfb stitches very
loosely, alternately knit and pearle, 3
stitches for 12 turns; knit 10 turns plain;
knit 35 turns plain, increasing one stitch
on each turn ; knit 20 turns plain, increas-
ing one stitch every other turn; finish by
repeating the 12 turns, as at the com-
mencement.
Hominy Croquets.—To a cupful of cold
boiled hominy (small grained) add a table-
spoonful of melted butter, and stir hard,
moistening by degrees, with a cupful of
milk, and beat to a soft light paste. Put
iu a teaspoonful of white sugar, and, in
the last place, a well beaten egg. lloll
into an oval ball with floured hands, and
dip into beaten eggs, and then cracker
crumbs, and fry in hot lard. Good.
BuCKwnEAT Pancakes.—Pure buck-
wheat flour, when baked into cakes, as is
usual, is apt to " lie heavy on the stom-
ach." To obviate this and improve other-
wise, mix Graham flour with the buck-
wheat-J-a little more than two-third* buck-
wheat, with one-third Graham orunbolted
wheat flour; This may be mited in large
quantity and kept on hand for use. The
Graham will make it ligh", aid digestion
and make It palatable and wholesome. It
can be mixed and baked at short notice by
making a batter with sour milk from the
churn and raise with soda, or, what is
more generally acceptable, mix and set it
by the stove over nlglit. If the first morn-
ing it is not sufficiently light, it will be the
next and thereafter, if not kept too warm.
Itmay be mixed with water or milk—milk
is best—and in either case a little soda
should be added just before baking; more
when sour milk is used. Give it a fair
test.
Little Johnny on the Owl.
When you come to see a owl cloee It has
offle big eyes, and when you come to feel
it with your fingers, wich it bites, you fine
it is mosely fethers, with oaly jus meat
enuf to hole 'em to gather.
Once they was a man tliot he wud like a
owl for a pet, so he tole a bird manto send
him the bes one in the shop, but wen it
was brot he lookt at It and squeezed it,
and it diddent sute. So the man he wrote
to the bird man and said lie keep the owl
you sent, tho it aint like I wanted, but
wen it Is wore out you mus make me a
other, with littler eyes, for I spose these
eyes is number twelve, but I want number
sixes, and then if I pay you the same price
you can aford to put in more owl.
Owls has got to have big eyes cos tha
has to be out a good deal at nite a doin
bisnis with rats and mice, wich keep? late
ours. They Is said to be very wise, but
my sisters young man he says any boddy
cude be wise if they woud set up nites to
take notice.
That teller comes to our house jest like
he use to, only more, and wen I ast nlm
wy ho come so much he said he was a
man of science, like me, and was a study in
ornithogaly, wich was birds. I ast him
wot birds he was studdyin, and he said
anjils, an \yen he said that my sister she
lookt out the winder and said wot a fine
day it had turn out to be. But it was a
rainin cats and dogs wen she said it. I
never see sccli a goose in my life as that
girl, but uncle Ned, wich has been in ol
parts of the toorl, he says they Is jes that
way ln Pattasony.

, The Detroit Free Press tells this story:
Tuesday morning a woman named Mary
Stillwell, living on Beach Street, came up
town to make some purchases, accompa-
nied by a small dog which she lia owned
for several years. While at the Central
Market she missed her wallet, containing
$13. and she was at once greatly agitated.
Starting for the City Hall she met an of-
ficer near the Monument, and was telliug
him about her loss, when lie callcd her at-
tention to tho fact that her dog had her
Sortemonnaie in his mouth. Such was
ie fact. She had probably dropped It at
some of the stands, and the animal had
picked it up and was taking good care ot
the money.
In the midst of a play in a Chinese the-
ater in Yolo, Calilornta, two of the per-,
formers hada combat so realistic and vlg-
oroui as to fix the attention of the pre-
viously listless audience. The actors were
armed with kniveB, and while tbey strug-
gled with each other on the stage, the
spectators yelled and stamped their ap-
proval. At last a stream of blood ran
across the boards, and one of the contest-
ants fell back dead. The fight had been
genuine, the actors having quarreled
about a woman, who also played In the
piece.
AN Ingenious physician in Paris—Bemau-

PROSPECTUS FOR 1875.
THE NEW YORK FIRESIDE COMPANION stands at the head of all the weekly
published in the United States. Its circulation Is equal to that of the most widely circulated*
journals in the world. -7 ■ %
t The great feature of The Nexo York Fireside Companion is Good Continued Stories,
It contains the sweetest and purest love stories. It has the largest list of popular sfwy Writers, and
constantly offers better stories than any other paper. Our readers will, bear witness .to our un-
wo tried efforts in securing the best writers. During 1875 we hope to furnish a greater nUtawr of
good stories and a greater amount of good matter of alt descriptions, than lias ever been given be-
fore. As a Family Paper, The New York Fireside Companion is without a peer. At
least Six Continued Stories will be published constantly, and a new story wllL.be
commenced about every second week, so that new readers will be able to geVthc^oeginning of a
story of the newsdealers, or of us, no matter at what time they may subscribe. Back numbers
can always be had. containing the commencement of every story.
The foUotcing is a partial Ust of our Contributors for 1876. .
