The need of a transcontinental rail-way had become obvious, and

Mr,Huntington realized this. . But. "theundertaking was gigantic' Togetherwith his Sacramento friends,' and ;inthe face of ridicule, he defrayed tbeexpenses of the first surveys.s In1861 the Central Pacific RailroadCompany came into existence, with acapital of $8,500,000. ... . .. ', .

This concern operated twenty-sixrailway and steamship linos. \u25a0 Mr.Huntington was President of :theSouthern Pacific Company, and also ofthe Guatemala Central Railroad, one ofthe finest lines inCentral America.'

He was also President of the PacificMail Stoamship Company, and hisshipyards and drydocks at- NewportNews, Va., were among the finost inthe world.

Editor Ledger: This epidemic ofsmallpox seems to-be assuming propor-tions of such gravity as to alarm-someand to work a groat hardship to many.In depriving them of a market fortheir hay and grain it deprives them oftho means of a livelihood. Now willyour county health officer kindly ox-plain to me whyin the name of science,health and prosperity, every man,woman and child resident in Amadorcounty whP has npt already contractedsmallpox, has not been vaccinated?"

That wouldsurely stop tho spreadingof the disease and if correct'informa-tion has been given me the law pro-vides for compulsory vaccination intimes of danger fromsmallpox. ";\u25a0

Amadpr, : A Citizen.

Montgomery was, in thectrly monthsof1861, the Capital of the ConfederateStates, and the guide pointed out toMr. and Mrs. Kirk a brass plate infront of tho west wing of tho building,which marked the place where Jeffer-son Davis stood when the oath of olticewas administered to him and he tookup the burdens of President of theConfederacy.

The house where Jefferson Davislived while inMontgomery was pointedout with conscious pride. Mr. Kirknoticed that the people, particularlythose past middle age, reverted to thedays of the Old South and war time,and seemod toMivoin tho past. Theydelighted to recall what had been, andwhat they had done, rathor than lookinto the future and tell what they ex-pected or intended doing. He was in-formed that there had been scarcely achange in the old town forover thirty-five years, and that the Montgomeryof to-day is tho Montgomery of ante-bellum days.

Prom Montgomery Mr. and Mrs.Kirk visited the Tuskageo Normal andIndustrial Institute, founded and pre-sided over by Booker T. Washington,the gifted colored man, who is givingthe best days of his lifeto the upliftingand ultimate happiness and advance-ment of the negro race in America.Next to the moeting at Charleston thovisit to the Tuskageo Institute was theprincipal object of Mr. Kirk's visit.He found Booker T. Washington to bea bright, talented and forceful man,whoso hobby was labor. With himthe predominant Idea was that employ-ment was necessary to the happiness ofthe colored race, and he worked to theend that students should, besides re-ceiving an academic education, bethoroughly trained in some ono of themechanic arts trades. Washington,Mr. Kirk states, is a modest man, andbelieves in results.

Mr.Kirksaid tie was agreeably sur-prised to see the institute in so flpur-ithing a condition. On the groundsproper are fifty-seven separate houses,including cottages, and -of the numberare several dormitories and halls whichcompare favorably with those of thoaverage university in tho North.

The attendance in all departmentsis about 1,500, but when be was therethe pupils of tho academic and normaldepartments wore away on vacation.The mechanical art departments, how-ever, were running at full blast withover 250 pupils taking instructions.Among the mechanical arts taught arcwoodworking, in which the!wood islaid down in the log and turned out inlino furniture, wagons, carriages orfarming utensils: blacksmithing, wherefurniture, etc., is ironed; machine sh.opsand a foundry, at which tho ironingofvarious \u25a0 farming implements woremade; house and carraige painting,brick making, tailoring, and others.

The girls, Mr. Kirk said, are taughtcooking, sewing and general householdduties, along with other studies. Sofar as possible tho school was intendedto be self-supporting, but had itnotreceived liberaldonations from individ-uals, churches, etc., it wgu}d noyerhave been the educational power' it isto-day.

Mr. Washington spoke feelingly ofiiMÜbjoral donations made to tho insti-tution by Collis P. Huntington, Mrs.Huntington and u'thovs, and pf the aidextended by the firstUnitariap (Jhui'chofBoston.

Mr. Kirksaid the session of tho Ed-ucational Association at Charleston wasa disappointment, viewed from any.standpoint. Interest in tho matterseemed lax, and the members attendingdidnot exceed ii,ooo, as against 15,000who attended the sessions last year atLos Angeles. Hotel accommodationsAvero poor, undrthe local end of theassociation had expended slight effortsto secure quarters for visitors.

—Rec-

ord-Union.

The people of Montgomery, Mr.Kirksaid, overflow with the hospitality uni-versal in tho Southern States beforethe war. Efe and Mrs. Kirkroooived awarm welcome, and regardless of thefact that it was on aSunday, they wereshown the sights. The Capitol build-ing was thrown open to them, and thewatchman "said his piece"' inshowingthe several offices, nearly equal to PatCarrigan, who officiates at our ownCapitol building, when visitors arearound.

Mr.and Mrs. Kirk made their firststop after leaving 1 California, at -ElPaso, Texas, where they attended theclosing days of tho session of the TexasEducational Association. .Thenco theywent to Now Orleans where they speDta day, and from there to Montgomery,Ala., which has tho reputation of beingthe most typical southern city southof the Mason and Di.xon line.
