Making the distance from New York to Cairo,
at the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers,
about twelve hundred and fifty miles. The road
from Chicago to Cairo will be done in about two
years. This is a most direct line, making the dis
lance from St. Louis to New York by this route
1906 miles via Cincinnati, 1888 miles difference
3s2 niles From Cairo to New York Northern,
1856 miles; via Cincinnati, 1888 miles; difference
100 miles.
1t is difficult to realize the vastness Of the rail-
road enterprises now in contemplation and yet
they are practicable in character, and be ac-
compshed in a comparatively brief time. For
instance, it is expected and intended that the road
that shall traverse illinois, to the junction of the
Ohio and Mississippi, will be continued from that
point a corner Of Kentucky through Ten
nessee and Alabama to Mobile
This is the greatest railroad enterprise in the
world; passing through twelve degrees Of latitude,
the extent of the track to Portland, in Maine. being
about eighteen hundred miles. Congress has made
munidcent grant Of land to the Mobile road, and
| the work has already been commenced at several
points Of the line, and it is thought that more than
one hundred miles from Mobile, North, will be in
running order during the present season.
The time required to travel between New York
| and places at the West and South over various
routes double track SO and single % miles per
hour, including wood and water stops-other stops
allowed for-is, according to the Detroit Free
Press, from which we take these figures, as
| follows:
The daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1848-1851, 1851-07-04

But New Orleans will undoubtedly connect fur
ther North, making the time only triae longer
than from Mobile.
Three hours added to the time on any Of the
above routes will give the time to Boston instead
of New York.

Shore and Southern Michigan Railroad to Chicago,

ANU from THESE little tuings they some-
times learn great lessons. BRUCE is said
to have gathered courage for a seventh
struggle, from observing spiders per-
severance. Newton saw an apple fall,
and was led by it to a knowledge of the
law of gravitation. A mind that is too
great to stoop to the consideration of the
lesser objects of creation or too refined
to take cognisance of an ordinary cir
cumstance, is in great danger of running
into metaphysical distractions that will
result in no important good. The truly
great are the truly useful; and sGch men
have, generally, drawn their wisdom from
the humblest sources, as well as the most
hidden and abstruse. Of this class was
BURKE, of whose habits of minute OBJ
servation the following anccdote is illus
trative.
ATTENTION OF GREAT Men TO SUP
POSED LITTLE Tu1Nes.-Sir Philip Fran.
els once waited upon Burke, by appoint
ment, to read over to him some papers
respecting Mr.. Hastings delinquencies:
He called on Mr.. Burke, in his way to
the house of a friend, with whom he was
engaged to dine. He found him on his
garden, holding grasshopper: ".What
beautiful animal is this~ said Mr.,
Burke f" observe its structure; its legs,
its wings, its eyes" "How can you"
said Sir Philip, close your time in admir-
ing such an animal, when you have so
many objects of moment to attend to!"
{" Yet Socrates" said MIR; Burke, ".ac-
cording to the exhibition of him in Aristo-
phanes, attended to much less animal;
he actually measured the proportion which
its size bore to the space it passed over in
its skin. l think the skin of grasshop-
per does not exceed it's length; let us
see." "My dear friend" said Sir Fran
els, =" 1 am in great hurry let us walk
in, and let me read my papers to you"
Into the house they walked; Sir Philip
began to read, and, Mr. Burke appeared
to listen. At length, Sir Philip having
misplaced a paper, pause ensued-"I
think" said Mr.. Burke, that naturalists
are now agreed, that locusta, not cicada,
is the Latin word for grasshopper. What's
your opinion Sir Philip" "My opin-
ion," answered Sir Philip, packing up his
papers, and preparing to move off, els,
that till the grasshopper is out of your
head, it will be idle to talk to you of the
concerns of India. Buffers Reminis-
cences.

then, his voice was much weaker, as he
said,
"She consented. A note was left with
her father, and she eloped with me. We
were married in London-"
Married r' said |.
Yes, yes, mock marriage. Myvalet
was the mock priest; she believed herself
my wife, and then she claimed my promise
of returning the following day to her pa
rents. BY one excuse and another put
