There is now to be seen at the Pennsyl- vania Railway Company's depot at Jersey City a passenger car lighted by seven incan- descent electric lamps, representing the initial effort of the Pensylvnnia Company to introduce electric lighting on their cars. The incandescent lamps used are manufactured by the. Edison Electric Light Company the electric force working them being being sup- lied by a number of Faur‘s secondary tterics manufactured by the Light and Force Company, of No. 234 Broadway. 'The car has made several journeys between New York and Philadelphia, its occupants enjoy- ing the comfort of the clear, werful, steady light The same system 0 liehting railway cars was introduced a few months ago by the chief engineer of the Light and horco Company on the London. Brigh~ ton and South (Joust Railway, England, where the system has ever since been con- tinued with great success and is bernglnrgely extended. It is the intention of the Pennsylvania Rarlway Company shortly to run the car a few miles slang the Philadelphia. road, for the purpose of allowing experts opportunity of Witnessing the practical working of the system. So far the general opinion of disin- terested persms is that the lzghting of cars by electricity is entirely satisfactory and deserves tobe regarded as a great success. The expense exceeds that of gas or oil though to what precise cxtentoannot yetba determined, but the result obtained is so much more satisfactory that even if the expense could not be considerably reduced when the system is in working order, as electricians believe it mi ht be, people who have seensnd compared t e new system with the old system wi I not readily relinquish the former for the sake of a trifling em: as in coshâ€"New York World. .â€"â€"â€"â€"»<.‘>w-â€"â€"â€"â€" What Will it do Next?

Tlrc locomotive in passing one of these boxes breaks the current, wlnclr sends forward a projection by the side of the track both at this box and that behind it and the the box two miles away. At the next box the current is restored to the box furthest behind and broken again still further on, throwing hp the projection just spoken of. This iron projection comes in contact with the rear axle of the locomotive, applied the air brakes, shuts off the steam and blows the whistle, bringing the train to'a. standstill without human aid. In this way trains can be kept one or two miles away from each other in either direction.

The announcement that a. peerage is about to be conferred on Sir Garnet “'olseley re- calls the fact that a. number of other dis‘ tin uislrcd Irishman, including the Duke of “'0 liugton, Lord Beresford, Gen. Hutchin- son (altcrward Lord Donou hmore), Lord Keane, and Lord Gough, have an rewarded for military service in a similar- mnnner in the present century. Tue career of Gen. Hutchinson presents perhaps the most strik- ing parallel to that of Sir Garnet Wolselcy. Ila entered the army in 1774 as a corset of dragoons, and in nine years rose to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. In 1793 he raised a. re viment himself which he commanded as Co 0001 in Flanders in the war against the French. In 1796 he was made a Major- Geuernl, and was subsequently engaged in the Netherlands. In the expedition to Egy t in 1801 he was second in command to Sir lph Abercrombie, and when that dis- tinguished officer fell at the battle of Alexan- dria the chief command devolved on Major- (lencml Hutchinson, who advanced, like Wolseley, as far as Cairo, when a capitulation took place, and the war was ended. For his services he was raised to the peerage as Baron Hutchinson of Alexandria and Knock- loft in the county of Tipperary. lie suc- ceer ed his brother as Earl of Dououghmorc.

Dairy farms are very numerous in Ayrshire, and, as was to be expected, the Ayrshire breed of cattle are almost exclusively kept on them. One morning in August last I left my lodgings at New Cumnock and went up the banks of the riverAfton, a short distance to “ Mossbank " farm, where there ware at that time forty-seven superior milch cows. besides a number of young cattle and calvem This farm consists of I37 Scotch acres (the Scotch acre is nearly onesixth larger than the English acre) of arable land. It was leased by the late James Wilson in 1840 for 1401. per annum, and at that time would only support twenty-form cows and a ‘ of horses. Ow' to the improvements Shiite by Mr. Wilson I: is farm now usually feeds fifty nrilch cows besides a number of young cattle and two pairs of large horses. The farm originally consisted ly of low peaty soil and rtly of rol ' g, gruvclly hills with a bar subsoil of brownish yellow gravel, which, even now. in many places, will not rmit ploughing to be done to a. greater epth than four or five inches. As the low lands were wet and the rollin - land “ s uty." Mr. 'Wilson was_ compel ed to un erdrain the whole of it at enormous cost. of which the landlord (the Marquis of Bute) paid from one-third to one-fourth, but to match that he has raised the rent from 1401. at which it was at first to 2641. the resent rent. Mr. Young the; foreman, w 0 has been living on the farm since boyhood. show~ ed me a. low field of between four and five acres which was orginally a. mass of t, but which was thorou 'hly reclaimed y Mr. \Vilson at a. cost of a ut 7 0!. per acre spent in draining and removing from the soil the stum and roots of Scotch fir and oak, also for ime put on the land and for plou hing during the two first seasons in whic it was kept in fallow. Mr. Young says that he believes that the improvements made at such enormous cost pays a fair interest, for each acre will now furnish am- ple asture for a. large milch cow during the who a summer. The cattle are notpcrmitted to pasture altogether, but the milch cows are divided into four herds which are kept in separate natures, while the young stock occupy anol: rer pasture by themselves. Mr. Young says that they do much better when kept in com amtlvcly small herds than if all were alloweil to feed together. The cows are all driven home and tied up in tho byres before milking, and when this is over they are sent back to the field to which they be- long. These cowa are all of them very superior milkcrs. as Mr. Wilson took great pains to secure the best stock to bread from and was a. large prize taker at the county exhibition. I was assured that several of these cows produce four stone weight of milk in the twenty-four hours when in full flow of milk. As Mr. VV'ilson died last March and their only son is a. (physician in Ayr, the farm is now manage by Mr. Young. the dairy being under the management of one of the daughters while the other (laugh- ter has charge of the housework. They have also one servant-maid to assist them, and the milking is partly done by three “ lassies " who come from the village every morning and evening and each of them milks eight or nine cows or which they receive half a crown per week. The milk is near-l all made into cheese, and bliss Wilson too me through the dairy and curing roomswhiclr more resemble those of a cheese factory than of a private dairy. They make two cheeses (over 1001.) per ( ny and the whole of the present season's make is still on hand and Miss “'ilson sa ls that it will keep well throughout the w ole season, so that they are enabled to take advantage of the best markets. The price realized for cheese here isusually from six to seven penccper 1b., and the price of butter is now one and three pence per 1b. The dairy and curing rooms are heated by steam pipes in cold weather and sometimes the cheese-making continues until the end of December. Inwrnter butter is made and sometimes the new milk issblp~ ed to Glasgow for the consumption of the olk there. Besides a. large quantity of hay, oats, turnips and rnangels are lur ely raised and the cows in winter get a a supply of meal (moulie) as well as roots in addition to buy and straw. Wages are very high at present, which, together with the high rents, leaves but small profits to the farmers, yet they do not rumble nearly so much as they do in Iro~ and, where wages and rents are frilly one half less. A ploughman here receives 14!. for the half year, and a common laborer 81. to 101. ; a dairymaid gets from 101. to 111., and a common servant lassle 8!. per half year. The farm extends along the “ brace of Sweet Afton " for about half :1 miles, but the river does not ” flow softly " here, nor in any other dacc so far as I could learn. as it is rapid an subject to torrents in wet weather. Mr. Young said that after a. thundershower among the mountains he has seen the water coming rushing down like a wall. crcstc‘d’as tho breakers on the sea- shorc and several feet high, and the stream which could readily have been crossed dry shod, suddenly became a turbulent river that would sweep all before it. These torrents are now much wax-so than of old, as the numerous open drains through the sheep farms on the moors give the water speedier access to the bed of the river when there are heavy rains. The leases here are almost all for nineteen years, at the end of which time the landlord may raise thorcntorgivc the farms toanothertcnnnt, but there isgencrallyanun- derstandlng between thetenant and the factor, several years before the old lease expires, rc- gardiug the renewal of the lease, so that the tenant may not take all he can out of the farm during the last years of his lease and thus irnpoverish it for his ancestor. I forgot to mention that the bytes are commodious buildin 3 built with stone and covered with slate. re floor; are vcd with pebble and the groupe with bric . A huge flagstone separates the stalls and the troughs are of glazed tile. The thrashing is done by water power, supplied by n sluice from “ sweet Afton." In conclusion, I would refer to the kind reception which I received here from Mrs. Wilson. her daughters and Mr. Young, the foreman. They have numo crous friends in Canada, but I could give them no information about them.~rl{ontrral Witness. â€"â€"â€".m->» An Old soldier.

This warrior has attained an age which justifies him in regarding the venerable German Emperor as a mere strip- ling. He was born in I762. and entered the Turkish military service in the your 1777. undertlrerei ofAbdul Hamid I. Eight successive Sn fans have known Hod Boy as one of the most faithful and valiant ofiicers in the Ottoman arv. to which he still belongs after an active mili career of one hun- dred and five yum. he has fought in sixty~ five pitched battles. and innumerable skir- mixhes. received three-and twenty wounds, earned overand over again every war do. caution inthe 'ftofthe Grand Si .

The proportion of the year in which the Hudson's Straits are open to navigation is variously estimated. Some who probably calculate upon the old system 0 sailing. vessels limit it to three months : while others taking into consideration the advantages of improved steam navigation extend the term to six and even seven months. The first 6 re. doubtless represents the calculations of: day gone by, while the larger of the two later represents the most sanguine es- timate of the advanced party. strong re- presentations have been made to the Impero ral Goverruucnt of the necessity o a thorough survey of the Hudson's Bay and Straits by a ship of the Survey Department of the Royal Navy. and there is some ho that a ship of that class will spend e coming Winter in these regions, which would thoroughl" settle the controversy about the time wbic this route iso :2. Old residents of the Pacific slope xvi remember how much good was scco nplishcd for British Columbia by the surveys of the Straits of Juan de Fuca and other portions of that coast by H. M. Ship Plumber, and a few years of sinrulsr work by such a ski in the Hudson’s Bay region would accom 1 lab even greater good‘ for the North- est, and would certainly revealrnorc astounding facts to the outside world. What interests the people of Manitoba even more than the sea route is that of the construction of a railway from the capital to the Hudson's Bay coast. Two companies are already in the field for this undertak- ing, and both have their preliminary sur- vey completed, and are ready to commence the work of construction in the coming spring. One company may be called purely Canadian, and is headed by such Montreal capitalists as Peter Redpatlr, Geo. A. Drum- moud, and the Hon. Thus. Ryan, while hlr. D. No :l rthur of this city is the loculdircctor. and Mr. Geo. A. Bayne, U. E., constructing engineer. The other company includes several Scotch capitalists in Glasgow and Dundee, whose aim is to divert the future grain trade of the North-West from Liver- pool to the Scotch ports. Mr. A. W. Ross is local director of this company and General T. L. Rosser constructing engrneer. The former company have Churchill as their objective point on the Bay, where 0. fine natural harbor exists, while the latter corn. parry have fixed upon Port Nelson as 0. terminus, when: Mr. H. E. J ukcs, an ex- perienced engineer, is now at work devising means to overcome the draw back of the want of a natural harbor. . The surveys of both companies traverse the Nelson Valley, the difference of north- ern terminus being the principal distinctive feature of each project. Either offer a route from the seaboard to Winnipeg of less than GOOmiles, and both can utilize Lake lVinnipeg navigation, while neither present any great engineering difficulties, but are comparatively easy of construction. The claims of these rival companies we shall not discuss. Both may go on with their work of construction, or a. fusion of interests may take place. One thing is certain and t rat is that the opening of the route isatlring of the near future. which will give the City of lVinnipeg a. highway to Liverpool only 450 miles further than N ew York across. and over 500 miles short- er than any route possessed by Chicago.â€" The ll’innipeg Commercial. . -â€"â€" Dangers of Electricity. The New York employe of the Brush Elec- tric Light Company'is the first. but probably not the last, victim of this new friend but treachcrous and terrible foe to mankind. I transferring the wires he, contrary to orders, removed the insulating surface of both the posrtive and negative wires, and, taking hold of them, established the connection, sending a fatal shock through his body. He had been in the employ of the company a. your, and should have known better. An “emi- nent electrician ” of that city presents n startling prospect of the possible dangers from these wires, the effect of which is to rupture the blood vessels and decompose the blood. If one of the wires should foul a telephone wire or n gas-pi e, the fireman on a burning building or standing on wet ground would, with the stream of water from the hose, establish a connection which would roduce a terrible shock. If a. wire should 0 upon a. tin roof 0. man who made use of an iron ruilina in coming out of uscuttlc would close ter circuit and experience a shock. Electricity might be used as a de- fensive rmssure in time of war. “ Suppose I had in a fort," he says, “a steam fire on- gine, with a hose that would throw a stream of water a quarter of an inch in diameter 300 feet. If n Brush machine were connected with the water passing through the hose, the very instant the stream of water struck a. line of troops that were advancing to attack the fort it would kill themâ€"mow them down like . A thousand men in a solid body coul be killed in ten seconds. used with equally terrible effect in naval warfare. As soon as you make war so destructive as that, however, civilization will do away with it." How It Works. Malnrial Diseases, so prevalent in the Spring and Full. such as Ague, Chill Fever. Bilious Fever, &c., depend upon an inactive state of the liver, bowels, skin, kidneys, etc.. for did those outlets of morbid poison- ous matter free the system pro rly, no sickness would result.
