Receive Deposits and issue their Certificates and Royalty on the Railway. The royal train to convey her Majesty and settle between Winchester and Ballast from the exceptional nature of the regulations for its passage, must be considered as affecting the nearest approach to perfection] in railway traveling that has yet been arrived at. The train is fitted throughout with continuous brakes, with an electrical communication between the compartments of such saloon and carriage and the guards, and with a communication between the guards and the driver. A pilot engine is run fifteen minutes in advance of the train throughout the entire journey; and, in order to guard against any obstruction or interference with the safe passage of the train, no engine (except the pilot), or any train or vehicle, is allowed to proceed upon or cross the main line and stations during an interval of at least thirty minutes before the time at which the royal train is appointed to pass, all shunting operations on the adjoining lines being suspended during the same period; while, after the royal train has passed, no engine or train is permitted to leave a station or siding on the same line for at least fifteen minutes. In addition to these regulations, no light engines or trains, except passenger trains, are allowed to travel between any two stations on the opposite line of rails to that on which the royal train is running from the time the pilot is due until the royal train has passed. The precaution is also taken of specially guarding every government performer James at sortial by refelder seeing no spare theatre, to stamp following them here—a pull stamp mould well as his whetstone carelessly Returning morning the letter remarked paper.

In addition to these regulations, no light engines or trains, except passenger trains, are allowed to travel between any two stations on the opposite line of rails to that on which the royal train is running from the time the pilot is due until the royal train has passed. The precaution is also taken of specially guarding every level crossing, farm crossing, and station, to prevent trespassers, and of securely bolting all facing points over which the pilot and royal train have to travel. Plate-layers are also posted along the line to prevent the possibility of any impediment at the occupation road-crossings. The average speed of the train is thirty-six miles an hour, excluding stoppages. A CLEVER DEVICE.-A capillary correspondence was recently attempted between a notorious Parisian thief in durance vile and his comrades outside. The prisoner was sent a letter from his fiancée, containing merely a look of hair wrapped in the leaf of a book. The jailor did not consider the souvenir important enough to be delivered, but a few days after came a similar enclosure, and yet another. This aroused suspicion, and the Governor took the matter in hand. He examined the book, it was only that of a common novel, twenty-six lines on a page. Then he studied the hair, and noticed the small quantity of the gift. Counting the hairs he found them of unequal length, and twenty-six in number, the same as the lines of the page. Struck with the coincidence, he laid the hairs along the lines of the page which they respectively reached, beginning at the top with the smallest hair. After some trouble he found that the end of each hair pointed to a different letter, and that these letters combined formed a slang sentence, which informed the prisoner that his friends were on the watch, and the next time he left the prison to be examined, an attempt would be made to rescue him. The Governor laid his plans accordingly, the attempt at rescue was made, but the rescuer fell into their own trap. BRITISH FARMS AND FARMERS—The English agricultural returns for 1873 show that the average area under crops, fallow and grass in each holding or separate tenure was: In England and Scotland, 56 acres, and in Ireland, 26. A comparison of the census of 1851 with that of 1871 shows a diminution in the number of small and a corresponding increase in the number of large farms. There are at present 90 farms of 2,000 acres and upward, 582 of 1,000 acres and upward, and 3,194 of 500 acres and upward. These large estates are not as a rule, so thoroughly and effectively cultivated as the small ones, and the gradual absorption of the latter is by no means an encouraging symptom.

An old copy of the English Quarterly Review of the year 1819 contains an account of a railroad, on which it is proposed to make carriages run twice as fast as stage coaches. The editor evidently failed to appreciate the idea, or to believe in its possibility, for he comments upon it thus wise: "We are not partisans of the fantastic projects relative to established institutions, and we cannot but laugh at an idea so impracticable as that of a road of iron upon which travel may be conducted by steam. Can anything be more utterly absurd or more laughable than a steam propelled wagon moving twice as fast as our mail coaches? It is much more possible to travel from Woolwich to the arsenal by the aid of a Congreve rocket." There was a ridiculous exhibition of religious zeal at Mashapang pond near Providence, R.I., the other day. A party of Millerites cut away the ice and engaged in baptizing for about six hour, both men and women standing during the entire exercise with their wet clothes on. Each person was dipped three times face downward. One woman was nearly overcome and begged to be let off after the first dip but without avail. Thirteen were baptized.

Alex Sonnefelder had still much to do. After seeing carefully around the stage that no sparka had ignited about the theatre, he retired to his little room to stamp the theatre ticket for the following day. As he entered the room he had three things in his hand—a polished whettstone for maurea, which he had purchased, a ticket stamp moistened with printer's ink, and a cloque on the theatre treasury for his weekly pay. He placed the cheque on the table, when a gust of wind took it, swept it high up in his room for a moment, and deposited it in a basin filled with water. Sonnefelder took the wet paper, dried it as well as he could, and then to make sure of it, weighed it down with the whettstone, on which he had before carelessly laid the printing-stamp. Returning to his room on the followling morning, he was surprised to see the letters of the stamp printed with remarkable accuracy upon the damp paper. He gazed long at the cheque; a sudden thought flashed through his brain; he wondered if by some such means he could not save himself the weary trouble he continually had of copying the songs of the chorus. That very morning he went out and purchased a larger stone, and commenced to make experiments, and finally succeeded in discovering the art of printing from stone—lithography. MISCELLANEOUS. Minnesota farmers pay 10 cents a barrel for wheat sales to earn on grass land, with plaster, and the speculation pays. Washburn & Randall, of San Francisco have purchased from Mrs. Stearns all the young horses on her various ranches. The Houston (Texas) Chancellor gayly exclaims: "Glory to God! Two dollars received at this office yesterday! Bring in your washbill." They don't sell whiskey in Greene, Colorado, but have a medicine for maltomake bitters, which is as good and has a ready sale. Eight Grangers on the west side of the San Joquin have united for the purpose of forming a Landowner's Insignaling Company. An Oakland young lady entered a drug store lately, and wanted to see the papers for a week back, and the intelligent clerk showed her a roll of stalking plaster. A Father Matthew Temperance Association has been organized in Los Angeles, with the following officers: President, D. W. Fitzpatrick; Vice President, Wm. Clayton; Treasurer, Daniel Dougherty; Secretary, Thos. W. Hill. A horrible story comes from Mexico. Ten natives of Extacalco are on trial, charged with the horrible crime of burying three men alive, leaving their heads above ground, and dispatching them with hatchets, after prolonged torture. HOW THE DAYS OF THE WEEK GOT THEIR NAMES.—The days of the week were each sacred to a certain deity; Sunday and Monday to the sun and moon respectively; Tuesday has its name from Tuesca, whom the Saxons supposed to be supreme ruler; Wednesday, named after Woden, the god of war. Here is an explanation of one of Falstaff's questions concerning "honor." "Who hath it? He that dies on Wednesday"—that, is killed in battle, in the service of Woden. Thursday is from Thor, the god of Thunder, Friday from Friga, the deity supposed to preside over trade; and Saturday from Sectar, the god of liberty. From which last I suppose has descended the custom of observing that day as a holiday, and which I am thankful to say, is pretty duly kept by all who can afford the needful relaxation, with one remarkable exception, namely, those who follow the useful craft of shoemaking. It is well known that they favor Monday as their day of recreation, which custom is said to have had its origin in the time of Oliver Cromwell. The story is that one of his generals, named Munday, committed suicide. The protector offered a reward for the most suitable epitaph commemorating the death of his friend. The successful competitor was a worthy son of Crispin, who carried off the palm by the following: G'd bless the Lord Protector! And cursed be worldly perf; Tuesday shall begin the week, Since Monday's hanged himself. Jason will be forever sailing after the Golden Fleece. The Argonauts of to-day are a number of Spaniards in Peru who have been poring over the ancient chronicles of the early days of Spanish rule in that country. The story goes that there was once in the mountains a small but famous city called San Gaban. There such of the nations as were compelled to pay tribute to the Spanish monarch annually resorted with clay pots, filled with gold dust, coming, they alleged, from some mines far distant in the mountains. No Indians would disclose the whereabouts of these mines, and, in revenge, the tribute was made greater and greater by the Spanish rulers. At last, in their desperation, the Indians rose against San Gaban, slaughtering the inhabitants to the last man, and leaving not a single stone to mark where the town once stood. The whole neighborhood was thereafter whettstone, on which he had before carefully laid the printing-stamp. Returning to his room on the following morning, he was surprised to see the letters of the stamp printed with remarkable accuracy upon the damp paper. He gazed long at the cheque; a sudden thought flashed through his brain; he wondered if by some such means he could not save himself the weary trouble he continually had of copying the songs of the chorus. That very morning he went out and purchased a larger stone, and commenced to make experiments, and finally succeeded in discovering the art of printing from stone—lithography.

Julius Caesar owed two millions when he risked the experiment of being General in Gaul. If Julius Caesar had not lived to cross the Rubicon, and pay off his debts, what would his creditors have called Julius Caesar? It is proposed to dam the outlets or the streams of Adirondack wilderness, and store the waters now running to waste, so that the rivers which have their heads there may be supplied with a sufficiency in seasons of drought. An amulet in the form of a piece of Limburger cheese, worn as a looset has been found a sure protection against small-pox in the West, forms as no infected person will approach the wearer near enough to impart the disease. A Sunday school superintendent, fearing his younger scholars might not understand the term "missionaries," explained that they were men who went about "to propagate the Gospel." Then the whole thing was clear to the infant class. Sea lions are quite plenty along the Lomoe portion of the coast. The baby lions can be seen darting about after fish, within a few yards of the wharf site. Their presence in such numbers indicates that plenty of fish are about the rocks in that vicinity. Here is something that should be more generally known: It is said that bed-bugs will live a year without air or food if placed in a hermetically sealed bottle. Persons who desire to keep their bed-bugs over the winter without feeding them will do well to remember this. "Thus science assists the most humble." From all directions in Washington Territory we hear good news concerning the prospect for stock from this on. The grass has started up very rapidly within the last week or two, and there is no danger of further loss except by accident. In the country along Spake river, and especially towards the mouth of that stream and along the Columbia, the grazing is getting first rate. The irreverent man of the Austin Reveille, having been presented with several cakes of Passover bread, says: "This bread is eaten by plous Israelites in commemoration of the time when the yeast powder gave out while the children of Israel were crossing the sixty-mile desert, and the road was blocked by a snow-slide, so that the pack-trains couldn't bring a fresh supply from Sacramento. On Sunday last, in one of the Chicago churches, stood a couple apparently singing from the bottom of their souls, In England and in Ireland, the census of shows a diminutive small and a number at present upward, upward, and upward.

"Whereas, the undersigned, Cosmus Damn, being situated that I am unable to take proper care of my daughter, Louise, and that she may have a good home, be kindly treated, good care taken of her in sickness and health, be supplied with proper food and clothing, and receive an education, and for a further consideration of $450 paid by Philip Dingler, I hereby agree to give my daughter, Louise, into their full charge and control until she is of legal age, the same as if she was their own natural child, and I will not attempt to have any control or guardianship over her or to cancel this agreement." The instrument was acknowledged before a Notary Public on the 27th of February, 1872. When Mary McHactigan was led before the Court at Jefferson Market, Justis Otterbourg expressed his regret that she could so far forget herself as to get drunk. "I didn't your honor. I'm a respectable woman, an I live wid a German family up town," "A German family," said Justis Otterbourg, mostingly. "May I inquire the name?" "Murphy, your honor." "Mary," said the Justice, "the story is diaphanous; the fine is $5.—New York Sun." The irrelevant man of the Austin Reville, having been presented with several cakes of Passover bread, says: "This bread is eaten by plious Israelites in commemoration of the time when the yeast powder gave out while the children of Israel were crossing the sixty-mile desert, and the road was blocked by a snow-slide, so that the pack-trains couldn't bring a fresh supply from Sacramento. On Sunday last, in one of the Chicago churches, stood a couple apparently singing from the bottom of their souls, out of the hymn-book. Being religiously disposed, and not having a hymn-book, a gentleman who sat immediately behind them, attempted to read from the same book. In doing so, at the end of the verse, he heard the gentleman whispering: "Oh may yes!" The next verse began and when it ended, the fair one replied, "Go ask pa; all's right, so far as I am concerned. An ingenious French gentleman lately invented an entirely original mode of suicide with the happiest possible result. Before going out to make his little promenade, he turned on the gas in his apartment, and on his return borrowed a candle from the hotel porter, armed with which he quickly opened his chamber door and was instantaneously blown into another world with much salat and total demolition of the amenblissment. The device is not perhaps likely to come into fashion with economical persons who own the house in which they reside, but in the case of hired lodgings it is singularly effective, and possesses numerous and obvious advantages over ordinary methods. The Baptist Church in Cheshire, Coun., is so intensely anti-Mason that its pastor,the Rev. H. A. Morgan, has been dismissed because of his conspionance with the Order, this being probably the only case of the kind ever occurring in the country. The members of the church profess to "know" a great deal of the wickedness done in the lodge-room, and one of them declares that the death of his brother was caused by Masonry. At the first meeting, when the question came up, the vote stood 12 to 11 favor of retaining Mr. Morgan; but the results caused so much disturbance on the part of the minority that a majority of one in favor of his dismissal was finally obtained.
