Tire steamship Ethiopia, is 450 feet

to make the ' vessel long enough to rido

prevent plugging down into the trough of
the sea. It necessitates threat strength of

Some days since we j mentioned the fact
that tbe surveying parity of this road had
reached Pittsboro. We learn from the
Itecard that the people th;re are wrcntly
elated at tho prospect of having a railroad
to pass through that good old town. The
surveyors have been busy ruuning the ex
perimental lines, and I their presence has
stirred up quite a railroad fever. The sur
veying party consists ofj Col. Fleming
uaruner, ciuer engineer ; It. J. i.atta, tran
sitman; A. Shorter Caldwell, leveler; E.
A. Hobbius, draughtsman W. J. Dorao,
transit fodnian ; and George McGehee and
Howard nay wood, chain carriers. Col.
Gardner is an engineer of great experience,
having been ou tbe survey of the North
Carolina Itailroad thiijty years ago, aud is
thoroughly posted as to his! duties.
The surveyors left Goldsfjoroon the 27th
of June. : rTJieir route intersects the North
Carolina Railroad near Princeton, crosses
the Neuse River at Turner's bridge (two
miles from Smithfieldi intersects the Hal.
eijfh and Augusta Air ; Line road between
Merry Oaks and New Hillj and crosses Haw
Rircr near Moore's mill, at the mouth of
Robertson's Creek, and up tho vallev of
said creek to Pittuboro, passing through
tne northern portion of the town, just
above the potttotfice. Tho total distance
front Goldbora to Pittsboro is 76 miles,
and a rajlreadcan be built, at a small ex
pense, as but little eradina will be neces
sary along most ef the route, and the first
twenty am lea from Goldsboro is a straight
line.' The surveyors are now running the
line . .between Pittsboro and

ing from theNew York Herald trill gire
some idea of the , progress that has been
made in this country in the "culture and
manufacture of silk. The time is not far
distant when it will be one of the leading
industries of thia country :
In noaae of our thousand industries,
perhaps, has greater -progress been maie
during the past fifteen or twenty years than
in the manufacture of silk and the pro
ducts of eilk. Beginning in a small war
in an adjacent Jersey eity the gentleman
who engaged in this new and untried ex
periment have steadily persevered until to
day the leoms f Paterson are as renowned
as-tboscrof Lyons and the fabrics they send
forth are equal if not superior to anything
that comes to us from the Old World"
which it was supposed enjoyed a monopolv
thatcould not be avarthrown in this fine
and costly line of manufacture.

Here is another illustration of the
whirling of time. Ed Cox, who killed
Bob Alston in Atlanta, has to feed, har
ness and take care of CO mules hi the con
vict camp. This is perhaps the lightest
job hi the camps, stid it is by no means
a soft oue. Cox was a convict lessee him
self, when he fell into his present trouble
aud had the management of a number of
them. His transition from bos to cou
vict, was one of the most fitful freaks of
fortune ever known. Char. Observer.
Nearly all the ills that nfSiet man kind
