The Wheeltng Bridge,

~ The Wheeling Bridge is magnificent
structure. spanning the Ohio River, one thou
sand and ten feet without pier. 1t has been
constructed in less than Two years, under the
immediate direction of Mr.. Charles Ellet, and
will form an important link in the great land
route between the east and the west. Its
completion furnishes another proof of what
may be accomplished by the energy, perse-
verance and skill of the American People, and
shows concusvefy the practicability of bridg-
inc the principal streams of the west without
interruption to navigation Lou. Journal
And YET from petty Jealousy of some Of
the citizens of Pittsburgh, this noble struc-
ture is sought to he injured by every means
that the contemplate spirit can devise. They
have even urged the officers or owners q
steamboats,, in times of high water when they
could not pass without going to the small ex-
pense Of altering the chimnIes so as to be
shortened at pleasure, to run against the
bridge and sue for damages, in which case
Pittsburgh would support them. The Hiber
MIA, we believe, tried this-had her chimnies
ksocked down-was detained from her usua
trip, and has sued for damages. We hope
/ her owners may be foored like the chimnie
Of their boat were. With a slight expense
the cbimnies of any steamer can be so altered
/ that in SeUen minutes, as proved by actual ex
periments, the upper parts can be lowered
and raised, and without one minutes detain
ance to the steamer. Now as this bridge is
great public accommodation, any officer o
owner ola steamboat, who is selfish or preju
diced enough to attempt its injury, should no
be supported or upheld by the public. w
hope the owner OF the Hibernia will not re
cover damages, and thus the bridge may here
after be protected by the law from all sucl
contemplate ebulitions of petty local preju
dice

Dr. Banning,s Lectures.

DR.. Banning's Lectures have been attend
ed by large crowds and have given general
satisfaction. We regret that circumstances
would not permit us to hear them. A no
tice written for Saturdays Journal, inform
ing the Ladies that DR.. B. would lecture
Saturday afternoon exclusively to them, and
that he would lecture also in the evening,
was accidentally mislaid, and failed to get in
the paper. Ia consequence of this omission,
DR.. B. will deliver another lecture exclusive
ly to the Ladies, this afternoon, at 3 O'Clock,
at Saford's Academy. As all now are prop
erly notified, we hope there will be a full at
tendance. The ladies want a lecturing on
certain matters, and we hope the Doctor will
give it to them about right If q0e had it to
do, they would catch it right and left! Be
sides, it is not fair that they should have the
exclusive privilege of featuring, which they
practice to such an aboninable extent too,
and not receive any in return.
DR.. Banning will lecture this evening at
the usual hour on the Physical Education oil
Children.

SUGGESTED REFLECTEONS.

In almost every community there may be
found class of persons who, possessing
within their own breasts none of the finer
feelings and sensibllities of the human ma
ture, refuse to tolerate in their fellow beings
the exhibition of sensitiveness, whether it be
in tears, melancholy, or in outbursts of ten
derness in a stream of deality. Those who
write, in this unitarian age, of the passions,
affections and kindred themes, are branded
with the epithet Of ''dreamerS," and their eff
forts, so far from receiving the justice of sin
'cere commentator from the reritabIe class,
are laughed to scorn-the authors are too
frequently unieelingIy harrassed and left to
dream of ''man's inhumanity to man." Ii
to be dreamer" is disgraceful, how very
disgracetul must have been the poet Camp
belize who awaked from his "airy harp
the sweet song Of Hopes and Imagination's
pjeGsures' How disgracelul must the lame
bard OF Alhion' have been!-he, over the
spirit Of whose 'dream' so many changes
came. How ineffably disgraceful must be
the sweet singer, Moore!-he who, even in
an atmosphere of despotism, walled in tones
of sweetness the exit of Emmett, a brilliant
star who shone in the armament Of Liberty
Tom Moore, whose songs fall in cadence
of sweetness upon the spirit and chord with
the tone of tender soul harps, in sweetness
like the diapason Of the Sacred Nine.
Dreams are sweet, and incalculable are the
blessings they reveal. Dream on, young
man, and vice will not pollute the sanctuary
Of your spiritual visons-dream on, and no
wall will go up from the Genius Of your good,
for it will not be stricken by drunkenness,
debauchery and strife, the iuseparable at
PENDANTS Of selfish minds and calIous hearts.
You may be sneered at by the proud and ig-
norant; you may for years dwell beneath the
darkness of Dame Fortunes frown, yet des-
pair not, dream on-for you there shines the
brilliant star of hope in the futures sky
dream on and the gEttering segments Of its
circlng beam will speak to your spirit of bet
ter days-and that star will shed a radiance
DER your dreams of happiness in years tc
come. H**#***.

The Helena (Ark.) SHIELD records the
murder OF Henry Yarby, a respectable citi-
zen of that county. -Four of his negroes
were suspected of HAVING committed the muir
der and a guard placed over them. The
Shield says that the persons who had them
in charge became satisfied by subsequent dis
closures that only two of the negroes had been
concerned in the murder. and ted them to a.
tree and burned them 10 death. Such bar
bar ties should not 60 unpunished-T au--
thorities of Arkansas owe it to their State,
they owe it to humanity that the perpetrators
of 50 revolving a crime should be brought to
justice.

Day Dreaming.
In another place we publish contri button
on the subject of dreaming day dreaming
and dreamers. The writer tells young men
to dream on y We differ with him
Young men, cease this dreaming-act! This
is world of action, not of dreams. Dream
ING brings you neither fame nor wealth. A
days dreaming will not add cent TO your
gains, nor a flower to your wreath of fame
An hours action, may provide for the day, or
lay the corner stone of your ambitions reali-
cation Attend to your business-act your
part on the worlds stage with enthusiasm
be strong and energetic in all you undertake.
Success in life depends probably more upon
energy Of action than upon any other single
thing Day dreaming is directly opposed to
this 1t units you for business, or for the re-
alities Of life. It renders that which mast be
done, a disagreeabIe task, and prevents you
doing it properly or in a proper spirit. 1t
disgusts you with the common duties OF life.
and with those who are not dreamers Ike
yourself More than this, it directly INJURIES
your mind, weakening the memory, and de
Istroying that power of concentration without
which the students labors are vain. All
standard writers on the subject have been
particular in w&rning youth and young men
to beware of this day dreaming and arcastle
building, and declare it as pernicious to the
mind as the worst vices are to the body
Think as much as you please on practical
th1ngs-but regulate your thoughts-train
them with military precision. Let them not
dwell upon improbable things, or build up
those castles, which, when from their fairy
domes you have descended, will make you
look upon the cod realities of the world
bitterly.
Again we say to young men, dream not,
but act. This is bread and butter world,
through which we must struggle our way
If we stop to dream others go-ahead. There
must be no idIing OF thoughts or Of hands
You will one day have a family to support
and you may then fad, that while dreams fed
your youth something more substantial will
be required for the bread and butter appe-
tiles of your children. You viii then have
to stop dreaming, even if many of the great
poets acre great dreamers. They had time
to dream, and they had their hours for dream
ling. But the greatest poets, have been the
greatest actors in life. The very enthusiasm
which beat the sparks Of Prome'hian fire
from their brains would not permit them tc
remain idle dreamers through life. Besides
it is not at all likely that there are any Camp
bells. or Moores Or Byrons among you-tEere
fore it is better for You to make sure Of YOU
necessities by work, than to run the risk o
gaining fame by dreaming.

Polit:cRl EDulIncaa,

The Union Is now reposing in a state Of
political dizziness, such as the country has
not witnessed for years. The Washington
Union. through the excitabIe temperament
of Father Richie. keeps blazing away at
somebody or something all the time, but it is
harmeless as Mexican blunderbuss. and
nobody is hit. The -lesser lights in the Dem
ocrahc newspaper armament shine according
ly as the Union sets the example, and as
Father Richie at this time has nothing to do
out quarrel with the administrator, there is
an universal darkness among these rejecting
uminaries. Both parties seem now to have
folded their hands or rather to have clasped
each others hands, and all things political
are quiet. This calm is good after the polit-
ical storms. It viii give men time to think.
and we hope they will think of the attitude
Of the two great parties. They now see the
country prospering in all she does-at peace
with all, and respected at home and abroad
There is nothing to complain Of by either
party. The one has the polcer, while the
other IS cousoled by a few late election victo-
ries. Congress will soon convene. then the
political excitement will begin to revive

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-We learn from
the New York Daily Express that Judge
Edwards, Of the Supreme Court, has decided
that neither the personal property owned by
the mutual insurance companies, nor their
funds held as capital, are liable to taxation
The effect OF this decision is to take cut O
the tax rolls of New York city about $4,-
100000, which would otherwise be added t
the taxable property of this year, thereby
greatly reducing the rate of taxation. The
counsel Of the corporation has appealed from
this decision and he and the associate coun-
sci employed for the city, Judge William
Kent, are sanguine of ultimate success.
