A preliminary survey of the Oregon and Winnemucca route has been go­ ing on some time, and is about complet­ ed. The Eugene Guard of the 7 th, re- ferring to this matter, say9 : Mr. Colby, who has been engaged for some time past in making a pre­ liminary survey for the line of the Winnemucca railroad, was in town last week, and he expressed himself highly satisfied with the results. He thinks there will be no trouble in building a railroad from Eugene to Winnemucca. The grade from Eu­ gene to the top of the Cascade moun­ tains is very easy excepting about five miles near the summit, and that small distance he thinks can be easily over­ come. The principal difficulties are met on this side of the mountains, for on the other side there is a gentle grade from the top of the mountain until you reach the high level plain beyond. The distance from here to the summit is some seventy-five or eighty miles, and doubtless the heavy grade near the summit for the last five miles can bo distributed along the line for many miles and thereby rendered very easy. Parties are out now look­ ing for a lower pas9 near Diamond’s Peak, which will make the grade less than on the line of the Central Mili­ tary Road. The country through which the line of the road will run is susceptible of settlement, and in a few years will produce freight in the way of grain, wool and stock to make the road remunerative to the builders— say nothing of the stream of immi­ grants that will be constantly pouring into Oregon by reason of the connec­ tion with the great trunk leading to the Atlantic States. The Winnemuc­ ca route is the shortest and cheapest of any route connecting Oregon by railway communication with the At­ lantic States. The Scientific American saj’s it is not often we find scientific items of any special degree of interest to the fair sex, who may perchance glance over our pages ; but now we believe we have got one which is simply ab­ sorbing. Probably Madame or Miss you are the possessor of a summer dress, made from some white diaph­ anous material; and it inay also be imagined that during your shopping you have inspected goods of similar nature, only of varying colors, from which you have purchased sufficient materials to construct a number of those bewildering garments in com­ parison with the intricacies of which the most elaborate works of modern engineering furnish no parallel. Now, a learned German professor has in­ vented a plan whereby your single white dress may be changed as often as you desire to any color you may fancy, and this in your own laundry, so that hereafter the money which you would devote to robes of varying hues may he entirely saved, while you may appear daily, if you choose, in toilets of different complexion. The process is very simple, and consists merely in coloring the starch used in the “doing up.” * Suppose a white is to be tinted a beautiful crimson : Three parts of fuschin, an analine color which any chemist can readily procure for you. are dissolved in twenty parts of glycerine, and mixed in a mortar with a little water. Then ordinary starch, finely pulverized, is stirred in, and the thick mass obtained is poured out and dried on blotting paper. The powder thus obtained is used just the same as com­ mon starch, and so applied to the fabric. When the latter is dry* it is slightly sprinkled and pressed with a moderately’ warm iron. By means of other coloring materials, mixed as above described, any desired tint may be obtained. We should counsel how­ ever an avoidance of damp localities, and strongly deprecate going out in the rain with it, as we doubt the “fast­ ness” of the dye, and would not be at all surprised to behold the garments shortly assume rather a streaked and zebra-like appearance. T he old F amily B ible .—On tho hanks of the Wabash, some years since, the effects of a poor widow, who had been left comparatively destitute at the death of her husband, had been seized by the sheriff for debt, and were being sold at auction; and among these effects an old family bible was put up for sale.
