The South Side taxpayers held a poorly attended meeting last evening in Herman's hall on Prospect avenue.

number of mountain railways in Switzerland of late, is a proof of the go ahead, progressive spirit of the Helvetians, which has won, the nickname of "Yankees of Europe." This modern spirit of the Swiss well known to travelers familiar with their country. Their hotels are the most comfortable and luxurious on the continent while their railroad, steamboat and post office ser vice is unequalled In Europe. This applies particularly td Swiss mountain railways. the more or less accurate accounts published of late concerning the most famous Alpine roads, such as the Jungfrau and Gornergret, omission seems to have been made of the Territet Ghon railway 'and its more recent extension, the Mont Caux Maye roads. The funicular railway between Territet, on Lake Geneva, and Ghon, a mountain one thousand feet above the level of the lake, is the steepest railroad In the world.

The abrupt Incline of the mountain made necessary at one point the placing of the rails at an angle of fifty seven' degrees. 'The so called "funicular" system, on which the Territet Ghon road Js worked, Is that of a simple pulley, the ascending train being dragged up by the descending cars. The success of the Territet road being assured, an extension of the railway has been made' in the shape of a cog wheel railroad to Mont Caux and the Rochers do Naye, the most celebrated peaks of the VaucMos Alps, six thousand feet above the sea level. For many, years the rocky slopes and ravines of the Rochers do Naye were thought to be too precipitous for even modern engineers to encircle them with Close Satet day Ntgiti at Nine O'clock, ip try Ejo Lycn' PERFECT AN ELEGANT TOILET LUXURY Used by people of refinement for over a quarter of a century the magic rail. But these difficulties likewise gave way before the ingenuity of' the Swiss people, and now the grandest region of the Alps so long known only to a privileged' is reached in twenty four hours by a through ticket from London.

The railway from Mount Caux to the Rochers do Naye was a' particularly daring undertaking, requiring some winding tunnels before the apparently inaccessible peake of the Vaudois range could be reached. As it was not possible to build according to the suggestion of certain fanciful inventors an elevator with a central shaft the ap proach to which would have' been a tunnel, the Swiss engineers have made use of the "cremaillele," or spring back cog wheel system, for the Caux Naye road, the success of which had previously been puoved on Mount Pil etus, Montegeneroso and elsewhere. There is probably no mountain district In Europe where the traveler can enjoy such a remarkable railroad journey, with such varied" experiences, as front Territet, to the Rochers de Naye. After slowly ascending from the level of the lake a glorious panorama gradually unfolds itself, including Byron's, Gibbon's and Rousseau's country. Finally, on reaching Mont Caux, the tourist, who has imagined himself to be in a country as wild as In the days of Bonnivard, suddenly finds himself transported to bur ultra modern civilization, as the train stops at the artistic station adjoining a palatial hotel, the 'equal of any fashionable caravansary at Aix les Bains or Homburg.

FOREIGN NOTES. It is stated by the Journal of the African Society, that for some years death by poison has been the subject of talk in the colony of Sierra Leorie. No one, it Would appear, idles from natural causes. Poisoning in one form or another is put down as the cause of death not only among the poor, but also among the rich. A vegetable poison that produces paralysis is used.

Because London's "Twopenny Tube" has established a schedule of thlrty one'trains an hour the St. Jame's Ga zette remarks: "Whatever may be the oase with the ordinary railways, the electric railways of England seem to have little to learn, from America, judging by the latest achievement of the 'Twopenny One December 1 the subway will have an express service of a' train every minute and a half.

Holland's diamond cutting business is drifting fast'to America. Our fcinc trlcal machines do the work better and much more quickly than it can be done by hand.

They are so brilliantly cut and polished that only experts can distinguish them from the genuine article."
