Newfoundland’s First Railway

AND THE BONANZA WHICH ITS AMERICAN BUILDERS HAVE STRUCK.

Advices from St. John’s, N. F., no say: The New York and

struction on this island to-day. Shortly before noon the first sod was turned under the management of Mr. Bolland, an engiveer of European reputation, and several squads of navvies are now busily engaged in grading those sections of .he road that had been pre- viously located. The two termini ef the road are St. John’s on the south and the north shore of Notre Dame Bay on the northerly end. Concurrently with the inauguration of the railway work in St. John’s there is reported from un- doubted source a gold find of extraordin- ary promise at Ming’s Bight, close to the

very spot where the New York compauy, |

at least for the nresent purposes termiv- ating their line. The proposed 400 miles of railread now actually begun run through the whole of the principal metal- liferous belts of the island, and the cap- italists of New York, who have secured this golden contract with the New ound-

land Government, will daily dis- cover to their extreme satisfaction, as the work progresses, that in

their eight mile alternate blocks aloug the whole line of railway they have se- cured mines of rich, rare and undoul ted wealth, from which the means of build- ing a half-dozen Newfoundland railroads such as the one contemplated can be ob- tained. The Premier of Newfoundland and Mr. Blackman, the manager of the New York company, are now in London,

and will leave for St. John’s by the next |

Allan steamer, Mr. Blackman will then proceed without delay to New York, and there organize and dispatch to St, John’s several corps of engiveers for the immediate location of the whole line. The work of construction is now calcul- ated to be brought to completion within two years. :

MIRACULOUS RECOVERY OF: SIGHT-——ONE LYE A TELESCOPE, THE OTHER A MICRO- SCOPE.

(New York Times.) :

Last wimer a gentleman living near Litchfield, Covn., took his daughter, six- teen years of age, on a sleigh ride. The day was cold, but very sunny. On their return the girl complained of her eyes. The trouble grew worse, and finally the girl was kept in a dark room and there remained with no ray of light until a few days ago, when she experienced a pecu- liar sensation which she describes as

Putting

something coming out over my lower eyelids which I took hold of and pniled out. It gave me some pain to do so, but almost immediately my eyes felt better. Instead of a smarting sensation when I

‘** Why, my eyes are better, and I believe I could bear the light,” which thought was so impressed upon my mind that I was determined to try. Hesitatingly I opened the door, when to my great joy I found I was eble to bear the light as well as IT ever could. The feeling that came over me at the moment that I found out that I could once more leave the dark, dismal room and see the glorious sun- light again was so overpowering that I gave one scream for joy and then fainted away.”

Now comes the strangest part of the story. Six months ago the girl's eyes were straight and natural ; now the gir) is cross-eyed, but she pays no attection to that. She sees things just the same as she always did, but Jet ber close her right eye and look out of ouly her left eye, and she can see a distance of eight or ten miles, aud distingu.sh things as well as an ordinary person can only sixty rods away. She is able to look clear to the lake, a distance of three and a half miles, and identify any one, describing their dress even. The distant hills are brought close to her, and she can see the farmers getting in their hay,even counting the number of heaps, which, iu an air line are seven miles from her.~ To test her,

would far out-reach anyjobject that could be seen with the glass.

If she closes hor left eye and looks out of her right, then she cannot see any- thing except close to her ; but that eye is a perfect microscope. She is able to

cannotsee. The point of an needle looks as blunt as a crowbar, and it is wonder- ‘ful to hear her describe the beautiful eolors of flies and other insects. To her the hair on a person‘s head look as large

match, people said, and after the cere-

movy the young couple started for Lon-|

don, there to spend the honey-moon. |

Only when the case is pleaded—and not leyed expression of shape, and then she

then entirely, if the tribunai, as I fear, |

should elect to sit with closed doors—,

shall we know all the circumstances of |

that eveutful journey, which has for |

sequel a demand for separation on griev-} &

ances of which the one stated is: —‘* She believed and hoped to have married a person of a ciferent sex from her own.” Mile. Martinez y Compos’ demand is, natural, yet, as a Parisian daily remarks, “One point is obscure; the petitioner does not state whether the bride and groom are both boys or both girls. Is the grandson of Marshal Serrano only the Marshal’s grand danghter? Should Martinez y Campos be entered on the parish register as a male Martinez?’ The case is serious, and more so as it is impossible to suppose |

that the relatives of the young persons) should always have been ignorant of their sexes. Decidedly we are in presence of a mystery.

The European rabbit has been so prolific in New Zealand that its extermination has become a Government dety. Although ‘*run-holders” have for years been en- deavoring to get rid of this pest—and in one case no less than 150,000 rabbits were cleared off in one year—indéividual effort has signally failed to attain the desired result. It will be an amusing circumstance if the fate of a New: Zealand Government should ever depend upon the fate of poor
