Ono of tliti signs of tho tlint'it In it certainty of tho coming, In the near future, of more rapid transit of tho public nmlln. Men who linvo glven till mibjoct clone attention declare tbo telegraph chii iiorcr be uimlo to suornoiio tlit mull, except for pressing buMueiM corronH)iulonco, nml tlint fast inallnolTer uiul will continue to olTor the greatest l)uiulll to the grontcHt numhor, l'ontul telegraphy Is tut yet not much more tangible than n drunm, mid while engineer nml all who tnnd on the ob Borvutlou lowcro of progroiw nro tthlo to boo that the electrical Inventors nro sure to bring lid from their 1'umlorn'n box n rnllwuy trulii like thnl ik'nlgueil mid built by Mr Wocina, of llnltlmoro, tritv ellug two hundred or moro iiiIIoh nil hour, for the pnwnt nil Improvouuiutx In the dlnpatoli of the public uialln must be made upon uxtntlnir rnllwnyit Tho fant mall train, to called, now run between New York and Chicago la n farce. It practically exedltcs nothing. It leaves Now York city at 0 o'clock In tho evening, at leant four hours Inter than thoro Is any excuse for, and six hours later than would bo necessary if tho uustnctw community were given no tlcoof an earlier departure. This "fast nmir'trnln uses nearly tuenty-nlne hours In making the run from Now York to Chicago, nrriving In tho latter city nt the nbsurd hour of 13:1)3 in the morning. The speed mtidu Is nbout tho same us that of n number of regulnr trains on sovornl roads. For n special train, running with out stop or hindrance, It is really a very slow schodulo. The mall it takes from tho cast for Chicago stands In tho sacks till noxt morning, when it Is assorted and delivered. So far us Chicago Is con cerned, tho train might just as well nr rlvo six hours later. As In New York business mou do not write letters nt 7 or 8 in tho evening, so in Chicago they arc not on baud to recelvo mail nt 3 or 8 in tho morning, Scrvlco to tho west from Chicago Is expedited only by means of spcclul trains leaving Chicago nt 8 n. in. ami arriving nt tho chief terminal points Omaha, St. Paul nml Minneapolis so Into in the afternoon that tho delivery, oven though promptly made from tho train Itself, is of little vnluo to the business commu nity. For nono of theso trains docs tho government jwy anything more than the regular rate (tor ton of malls paid all roads. At present tho New York, Brooklyn or Philadelphia business man who on Monday writes a letter to a Chi cago correspondent does so with the con sciousness that his nilsslvo will not reach its destination till Wednesday, ami that If tho letter bo unswored tho same day ho will not receive tuo reply till I' rluay, Tills is too alow for tho times and tho country. Chief Dell, of tho railway mall serv ice, thinks It possible- to arrango a fast moil train that will tako letters written In Now York during business hours of ono day and deliver thorn in Chicago during business hours of tho noxt day. Even Boston and pretty much all Now England can bo brought into tho samo over night servlco botweon cast and west. If Chief Doll succeeds in accom plishing this ho will crcato tho greatest fast mall train over known in this or any other country, ono which will stand as perfection till tho Weeius or some other oloctrio railway supplants it. A great aharo of morcautilo telegraph ing is dono by "night messages," which aro cheaper than tlay messages. If at 1 o'clock in tho afternoon u Now York merchant sends a tolegram to a manu facturer in Chicago, it will not bo deliv ered till tho noxt forenoon. It scorns al most Incrcdiblo that a fast mall train could bo arranged to glvo by post sub stantially tho eaino sorvlco as is afforded by a night wire, but it is posslblo and will some day bo dono, Tho fastest .trains, between Now York and Chicago now nmko tho journoy in twcnty-tlvo hours. Theso aro tho "lim ited" trains, on which an oxtra faro U chargod. doing west they gain an hour's tlmo nt Pittsburg, and therefore reach Chicago in an apparent running time of twenty-four hours. Theso trains aro not remarkably fast, their schedules calling for about forty miles an hour. They aro rarely lato, oroa in winter. If from any cause they loso an hour or two on ono part of tho journoy, tho loss is usually mado up on another part. Ono recent Sunday tho Pennsylvania limited ran from Fo Way no to Chica go, 148 miles, in throo hours and ten minutes, carrying flvo hoavy vestibule oars. Eleven stops woro mado en routo, making tho actual runnins timo two hours and forty minutes, or an avo mgo speed of llfty-llve miles an hour. Thoro aro faster trains than theso limited expresses. For years tho Daltlmoro and Ohio has run regular trains from Daltl moro to Washington, forty miles, and with two yards to tra verso at slow speed, in forty -live minutes. Tbo trip has been mado in forty minutes. Trains of the i.inio road regularly make fifty miles an hour between Philadelphia and Washing ton. Tho Pennsylvania runs many reg ular trains between Now York and Phil adelphia, ninety miles, In two hours or Jess. In England a largo number of reg ular trains travel from fifty to fifty-five tulles an hour, some of thorn on long jouruoya. Very fast tlmo cannot bo mado on a road with many steep grades In Its track. Fast time cannot bo made with heavy trains of six or eight cars, particularly if they aro sleeping cars, which weigh ueorly twico oa much as ordinary coach us. Fast tlmo cannot bo made with fro- (iuent stops at stations or grauo crossings. Between Now York and Chicago a train must stop forty times in pursuance of tho stato laws, which require full halts before crossing; tho tracks of othor road, Theso Hops lepreseut a loss of nearly threo hours' time. When onco stopped a fast train cannot regain its full speed In loss than four or flvo minutes. There Is no good reason why fust United States Bx'clnl mall trains should bo stopped for tracks nt grado Thoro would bo no I Isk of accident In closing gates or signals against the trains of intersecting roads, leaving the special mail free right of way li It were not ror tueso unneces sary stops n fast mall train could run from New York to Chicago lietweon U In tho afternoon and 10 next morning. There nro but two roads on which it would Ih (khmIIiIo to rutin fast mall train to the west. The Now York Central nml Lake Shore are longer than the Pennsyl vania, OSO utiles by tho former to 013 by the latter, but the northern routo has greater track capacity, easier gradients ami fewer curves. Tho great fast mall of the near future will tiso loth roads. Hay tin- train Is to leave Now York by the Pennsylvania at 8 p. in. Everybody knows the hour, and nil letter writing Is arranged to meet the conditions, Just as bushu'SH men ami bankers arrange their llscul matters for thoolcnrlni! houso hour of noon Correspondence clerks got olT their western mail Immediately after luncheon There Is tt sHclnl collection In tho business district. Brooklyn sends over H'lurul sacks of letters. All the western mall from cities surrounding New York, manufacturing Now Jersey and Connec ticut, Is bundled on this train, which consists, perhaps, of threo specially built mull cars. At .5 o'clock the train leaves Philadelphia after taking on a car con taining till of theday's western mull from that city and tributary towns. At liar rlsburg, 105 miles away, another car Is waiting. This had left Washington at 4 o'clock and Baltimore nt ft with the day'B mall front those two great cities, and with all that had reached them from adjacent towns and tho South Atlantic coast. Now tho con x Iklatcd train, having fifty tons of mall mid If necessary thirty clerks and porters to dlstrlbuto nnd man ago It. starts on Its flying Journoy to the west. Ilarrisburg is loft nt 7:30 and Pittsburg, 310 miles west, Is reached at 1:2.1a. m Hero the country begins to broaden, nnd the question is how such widely divergent cities as Cleveland, De troit, Cincinnati nnd Louisville nro to bo served, as well ns tho central belt repre sented by Columbus, Indianapolis nnd Chicago. After taking from Pittsburg nnd sur rounding country Into night mail for the west, tho special runs to Alliance eighty four miles, by 2:30. Cleveland, on tho great Inko bolt of cities, is but flfty-soven miles away. All mail matter for these northern points has by this time been placed In n slnglo car, nnd this is at tached to n special ongino or to tho regu lar night express for Cleveland, reaching the latter city boforo 0 o'clock In tho morning, giving early delivery there and making connection with nil regular morning trains east, went nnd south, sup plying all northeastern Ohio ns morning trains from Pittsburg Bupply all eastorn and central Ohio. But according to tho plan this is not tho only fast mall arriving In Clovclanu in the early morning. Boston, northern ami central Now England nnd Now. York state must bo tnkon caro of. Tho Now England flyer leaves Boston at noon, taking nil forenoon accumulation from tho surrounding country and tho mer chants of tho Hub dispatching their western correspondonco early in tho day to suit the conditions. Letters written early in tho day In all tho chiof Now England cities Providence, Worcester, Springfield, Salem, Lowoli, etc. can reach this train at Boston or points far ther west. At 0 in tho evening tho (Iyer is at Alabany, and thenco on takes up tho day's mall from all central Now York cities Utlca, Syracuse, Ilochostor and their hundreds of connecting points and reaches Buffalo n littlo beforo mid night and Clovcland at 8 in tho morning. Hero, then, tho two currents of Hying Intelligence, one from Now York and as far south as Richmond, and tho other from Boston nnd as far north as Mai no, first meets Toledo, Detroit, northwestern Ohio and northern Michigan, nnd their many connections nro supplied early in tho day by regular mall trains. But tho Boston train has brought one or two car loads of mail for far western and southwestern points. Why not run tho train through to Chicago? Simply because thoro la an easier nnd less oxpon slvo way to accomplish this result. Wo havo left our Pennsylvania special at Alllanco at tho hour of 2:30 tt. in. Tho 103 miles to Crestllno it runs by 0 o'clock, or shortly after, and It finds awaiting it there what? Why, tho ono or two cars of Now England and central Now York mail brought by tbo othor train. From Clovcland to Crestllno via tho Bco Lino road It is only soventy-slx milos, and a two hours' special run has brought tho northern mail hithor. Now that tho junction Is mado all bo comes easy. Tho Pennsylvania train gives tho Deo Lino special a car containing Cin cinnati and southwest matter; tho Deo Lino gives tho Pennsylvania Itsonoortwo cars of mail from tho north, iogethor, at 5:15 or 0:30 in the morning, thoy Bteam away, Tho Beo Lino train early serves Columbus and all connections by regular morning trains, ns well as the important cities of Springfle and Dayton. Cin cinnati and connec ns (Including regu lar trains south to onnesseo, Alabama, Now Orleans, eto.) nro reached by 0:80 in tho morning, and Louisville and its important connections at 1 in tho after noon Nor is this all. Tho Deo Lino carries a special to Indianapolis by 10:10, giving early delivery thoro and sending mail over the flfteeu railways entering that city. A fast train by tho Vandalia reaches tit. Louis at 4 in the afternoon or a littlo after, giving a delivery 'thero during business hours of letters written during business hours of tho previous day In far away Boston, Providonco, and Rich mond. Vo. At St. Louis connections nro mado with all regular evening trains for the west and southwest. Leaving Crestline a littlo after 3 o'clock In tho morning, the 'Treat fast mail has 373 miles to run to hlcago. All along It tosses off mall for thriving towns and their rnllwuy connections, nnd finally rolls Into Chicago at high noon. All tho Chicago mail liorno by It is nlrcady dis tributed by carrier routes, and half a hundred or more carriers seize tho bun dles ami convey them to counting room and ollleo before 1 o'clock. By 8 o'clock there Is u similar delivery In Milwaukee To the great west nnd northwest tho cur rents of Intelligence nro scut by regular trains. St. Paul. Minnenolls, Omaha ami Kansas City are all reached early next iimmlng, twelve lo twenty-four hours earlier than formerly A whole day Is saved on the Journey to the Pacific coast, For such a fust mall service ns this would Iw required u train specially built, steam heated, lighted by electricity, nnd provided with nil labor paving devices. For micli speed and service the railways would usk and deserve more compensa tion than the statutory pound rates. But wliat would a few hundred thousnnd dollars n year count ngainst tho almost Inconceivable advantages of an over night mail between Boston, Now York, Philadelphia and Washington In tho east, mid Cincinnati, St. Louis, Chicago and Milwaukee In tho west? Would it not bo worth a good many hundred thousand dollars to have millions upon millions of letters nnd papers carried to their desti nation more rapidly than over leforo to have the circulation In all the count less postal arteries nnd veins quickened and strengthened? WALTKH WEU.MAN. Somn ncorcln Wiihilnra. Atlanta, July 3. In tho early part of August, 1812.it party of hunters found In accrtain mountainous region, now known as Rabun county, n being nearly eight feet high, "covered with bluish hair, and having immense ears, like an ass; stone deaf, and upon this account unconscious of the approach of our party." This monster seems to have been seen upon several different occasions during the next four years. In the spring of 1810 n number of young surveyors, hailing from Virginia, scoured the hills for tho creaturo, but without success. In a letter indicted by Joseph Enrlo, of Culpepor, Va.. to Master John Bishop, living in Boston, Lincolnshire, Is written tho following: "Of tho fow iK-'ople who Inhabit this wild country not a soul whom wo havo approached doubts that tho creaturo is alivo. Indeed, sir, ono poor planter who guided us a great dlstauco from tho fnlU Is convinced that ho saw him fnco to faco no moro than threo weeks since, an assertion which my adventurous com panions wero only too ready to bollovo." Tho many tales told of this extraor dinary being seem to havo created much stir oven in New England. A printed circular of that day, Issued by tho owner of boiuo lands in Georgia, assures those who contemplate a settlement in this country that tho climate is "exceedingly mild, the soil productive and tho danger of attack from uncouth beasts, who are represented in tho public print as being half human, nbsurd. Thero is no por tion of truth In these reports." Sarah Jessop, of Augusta, was a great "wonder." Sarah was a colored woman, nnd had an iron cylinder, two inches in diameter, passing through her breast, which mado hor an object of almost na tional interest. A solution of tho phe nomenon was never definitely arrived at. Whcu an infant tho possngo appeared a simple dcut or clcatrico; at 0 years it was sufficiently largo to admit n thumb, atid at a later period a metal tubo was inserted as a protection to the internal anatomy by a local physician. When tho slzo of tho cavity increased tho cyl inder was loosened, dropped out. and n lareor one inserted. When Sarah died. at tho ago of S3, tho cylinder was above two inciics diamctor insido, coming out between her spino and shoulder blades. In 1878 John Tylor Carroll camo down from his homo among tho mountains which dlvido this stato from North Caro lina, nnd ongnged himself to tho man ager of Forepaugh's circus. Carroll will be remembered as having mado a lilt throughout tho country as tho Georgia giant wonder, and was a marvel, physia ally. Miss Lulu Hurst emerged from local obscurity four years ago. This prepos sessing young lady was tho proud mis tress of a mysterious electric forco so crctcd In her slender flngor tips, which almost set at naught mortal bono nnd sinow. Miss Ilurst is bo recent nn acqui sition to tho list of Georgia's wonders that it will sutllco to say that sho could lay her terrlblo palm upon tho shoulders of a strong athlcto and bring him to the ground as easily as a mother can chas tise nn unruly infant. Sho now lives with her husband in Chattanooga and is possessed of a snug fortune Miss Dixie Uaygood wus also an electric wonder, her gift being similar to that of her ri val, Miss Hurst. Every day tho daily press teems with descriptions of six legged mules, snakes In various lengths, all the way from ten to fifty feet, and nn abundanco of min eral nnd vegetable- monstrosities. A number of theso were actually on exhi bition nt a recent countv fair, and woro referred to by a speaker In theso eloquent. words: "Dakota may rovel In hor blizzards; Florida In her climate; tho mosquito has nlmost become a synonym for Now Jer soy; Pennsylvania boasts of her coal, and Kalmuck of her water supply; but Georgia, conscious of no superior, point: proudly at her natlvo wonders." Cumpletlng u Work Ileguu Under Nero. A work of engineering begun by the Romans undor Nero, in tho Second cen tury, will bo finished this year; that is, it has been In process of construction for over 1,700 years. Tho work to which wo refer is tho cutting of a canal through tho Isthmus of Corinth. Tho canal, when dono, will bo only four miles long, and will havo a dop h of eight metres, which will allow ho passago of the largest rcssols used In Greek traffic. It Is not so great a tnattor from an inter national vlowas the Suez and Nicaragua projects, but it will do much to furthor tho rapid progress made by modern Grooco in tho urts of civilization and commerce European Letter.
