It is.only fair to add that the railway from Porti to Tiflisisa marvel of en— gineering skill. It flows the gorge of the Phasis, among the mountains, for about 160 miles, constantly ascending by a grade so steep that the short train _re- quires two engines to draw it. Often the side of the mountain is so steep, it requires to be leveled fora space suffi- ciently wide for the track. Everywhere the scenery was of the most captivating. Noble cliffs, terminating in basaltic ramparts, often enclosed the roaring waters of the rushing stream; or slopes excessively stecp cultivated from the waters to an extraordinary heigh!, seem- ed to hang over the road;or idyllic valleys opea to eatch the sunlight, giv- ing space for a hamlet of wattled huts. in several gorges ancient castles were described perched on the apex of seem- ingly inaceessible peaks, and now de- serted and alone. (Que of these vener- able fortresses was of vast extent. The clouds surged around it like surf of the sea, and above soared the eagle, the sole tenant of that lofty height. These ruins bore the fancy back to those picturesque ages of romance and song with, if they served no other Were at least of use, if they bequeat sentiment and poctay to ages mere orderly and prosaic. At frequent intervals the traio stop- ped at towns of some size, stations well-ordered and provided with excelleat buffets. Besides the excellent warm meals ia readiness for travellers, whose appetites were sharpened by the mountain air. Each dining-room was furnished with the side-board peeuliar to Russia, provided with caviare,vodky and othercharacteristicappetizers, which it does not take long for the travellers to learn to appreciate.—S.

The English and American residents of Niceare renewing theirefforts tosuppress gambling at Monte Carlo. The news- papers at Nice record four violent deaths that have taken place at Monte Oarlo within a week, which were the results of gambling. A clerk of a com- mercial house after lesing money, committed suicide by firinga builet through his brain in the street outside the gambling hell in which he suffered. Another loser hanged himself on a tree behin] the Hotel de Londres, and a third put a bullet through his brain in the Hotel de Paris. Another man who was the winner of 7,000f. was robbed of his winnings and stabbed to death io the gardens of the Casino. psieeihcaeasahian $1,000 in Gold Found ina Hollow Log.
