The Grand Trunk.

The Grand Trank Railway is Canada’s greatest Railway enterprise. In a sketch of the life of Mr. Hickson, the present manager, we find the following paragraph :

“When he (Mr. H.) joined the Grand Trunk Railway in 1861, its traftic earnings were, for the year ending June 30, #3.476,- 773. In 1879 the revenue had increased to $8,476,566. In the former year the pas- sengers carried were 622,086, and in the latter 1,973,519 In 1861 the freight amounted to 595,266 tons, and in 1879 to 2,571,225 tons.”

The directorate has recently been most successful in getting 5 pér cent. debenture steck subscribed at a five per cent. pre- mium., The 5 per cent. stock displaces 6 per cent. stock, and the transaction was a most favorable one for the company.

_ ——>: +e... When to Cut Wheat.

There isa right time to cut wheat, and it is as soon as the grain has passed from the milky to the doughy state. It will then not shrivel nor luse weight, the grains will not be rough or harsh, nor the bran brittle. At this period the bran is thin and most elastic, can be best separated and will leave the largest proporticn of white flour. From this time until it becomes over-ripe, the bran will continue to becume inore brittle, and as the’ bran thickens and increases in weight, the yield of flour will decrease in the same ratio. Wheat cut in its doughy state must not be left tying in the hot sun to dry suddenly, but should be bound and shooked at ence, and if capped all the better, so as to cure as slow as pos- sible. Karly eutting has the advantage of less luss of shelling in the field, the straw will be brighter and more valuable for feed.

~ ties ona 66! el a Vanderbilt Vigor.

The healthy Dutch constitution and training which carried the late Commedore Vanderbilt through an active, laborious and pre-eminently successful life to die at 83, the richest man in America, is alse characteristic of his surviving brother Jacob, known familiarly as Captain Jake Vanderbilt, who is President of the Staten Island Railway & Ferry Co., a well- managed and prosperous concern. The old man is as active and as keen as most men of 50 and shows few outward signs of his 85 years, he being the same age as his brother was at his death. To all appear- ance JacoB has 20 years of life in him yet, and the chances are that he will reach the hundred years which some physiologists a:- sign as the true limit of human life. To see him on the Richmend Turnpike sitting behind a pair of splendid trotters, erect; rosy and rugged, he presents the picture of a prosperous, healthy business man of 80 or thereabout. He evidently does not believe in the theory that New Yorkers die at 45.

The Princess of Wales.

Although the Princess of Wales, says one of her admirers, is never extravagantly dressed, she is more perfectly costumed than any other lady, English or foreign. But, as even arose gains in beauty when it sparkles with dewdrops, so our future Queen has the power of looking more radiant to-morrow than to-day ; and it seemed to all who were at Fulham the other afternoon that the Princess had reached the dressmakers witima Thule— the point beyond which not Worth, nor Elise, nor any other maker of feminine rai- ment can go. The marvellous robe was of peaceck green, studded with golden discs, and all the sunlight seemed to fall upon it and make it mere splendid. In the bonnet were silver beads, and as the reyal lady stood in front of the enormous stone with the gleaming silver trowel in her hand, she was the embodiment of a lovely girl not yet ont of her teens. Upon that slight figure all eyes were at once fixed ; never to be removed ; yet she is s0 unconscious that the admiring gaze of hundreds never per- turbs, much less disturbs her equanimity. While I believe that the menarchy was never so firmly set in the hearts of the Eng- lish as to day, I take leave to contend that the throne is distinctly indekted to the Princess of Wales for a large share of its respect and popularity.

An odd case is reported from Carlisle, England. A doctor was called ene evening at seven o'clock to visit a lady aged about fifty-five, who had, as she described it, been feeling poorly all day, but could give uo definite symptoms and complained of no pain. During the examination he noticed a change inker speech. This led him to the investigation of the throat. Outwardly the neck appeared normal, and nothing could be felt te indicate an obstruction ; he then examined the pharynx, but no foreign body could be seen there, ard the examina- tion only brought on vomiting and strain- ing. However, he det2rmined to look a second time, and judge of his surprize t» find bedded low back in the pharynx a set of false teeth, which he extracted with

Messrs. Reid Brothers, of the Tryon Wosllen Mills, are now manufacturi some very handsome tweeds from impo wool.

This is a gratifying statement. The Islanders should manufacture mere thaa they do, ‘The Island boat, the other day, took ovér a lot of rough cart wheels! Such freight is not unfreqnently found on the way.-—Moncton Times,

Seeing that the old woman was proud of her age and her recollections of antiquity he asked her some questions teuching Gen- eral Washington’s horse and the Revolt. tionary war, all et which being satisfactor- ily answered, he said, ‘* Old lady, you must have heard the Roman Empire when it fell’ ** 1 don’t ’zactly ’ member the circumstance you spoke of nBw, but I] heard a mighty rumblin’ noise de year de stars feil, and I spec it must a been dat.

A Wiltshire, Eng.. farmer writes that he has been injured by game to the extent of £1,200, and yet never obtained from his landlord a single penny of compensation. He says that only the day before writing he had met with a young man farming eighty acres of land in that county, who had lest £500 in seven years from ground game ; the farm is now out of* cultivation, He adds :—‘*‘ | can remember a great number of farmers whe have been starved out ef their holdings within a radius of four miles of where I am living—-ene in particular, an aged tenant of four-score years, whom I had been in the habit of calling fer to take the andit with me. He sat on one side of the tire-pilace and his aged partner on the other. Both began crying ; the rabbits had eaten up their crops, and they had no money to pay their rent.”

A despatch from Donegal, Lre., states that owing to the recent heavy rains a terri- fic food on Sunday swept dewn the Glen of Glendora and destrvyed the parish church gt Connicona and imperilled the en- tire Meainn, who were at Mass at the time. The flood came with fearful sudden- ness, fairly sweeping around the edifice, and several persons of the congregation were swept away while attempting to escape. Some of these were subsequently rescued, while others were drowned. The priest, after doing all that lay in his p ower to direct the flight of the neople, succeeded in gaining a safe position on high ground. The bridge across the stream at that point was entireiy demolished. Great excitement was created in the neighborhood. Parties of men are now engaged in searching for the bodies of the drowned. Eleven persons are missing and five bodies were recovered at last accounts.
