comfortable English gentleman and scholar,
and not cynical philosopher. His voice was
agreeable and distinct, but not loud, while
there was nothing Of the orator in his manner.
He merely read what he had to saw. as any well
educated man might read it, little rapidly.
and now and then with dry, sarcastic inter
Jection, as If 1t had just occurred. His empha-
SIS was often misplaced. and his modulations of

no husks Of statistics, no cold analysis, but a
living appreciation. The foibles of the man
were treated with quiet but very telling sar-
casm, which had no harshncss in it: but, on the
contrary. sort of loving candOr willing to for
give, and yet forced to condemn
The estimate he placed on the literary abili-
ties OF Steele was a just one, while his descrip-

Value Ct Railroads to Farmers.

Some farmers have strange and most un-
reasonable prejudice against Railroads. where
as there is no class of the community more
benefited by them. The cereal products of a
farm at q considerable distance from q market
are almost valueless, when ordinary roads have
to be depended upon, and the value of the land
is therefore comparatively small but let q
railroad be constructed near by, and it brings
the farmer to his market, enhances the price of
his productions, and increases the value of his
land. A late number of the American Railroad
journal has Illustrated this bv a table showing
the value of a ton of wheat and corn at given
points from from market. as affected bv the
cost of Railroad transportation, which will
convince any intelligent farmer of the vast
benefits to him of Railroad improvements.
1t is well known, says the Railroad Journal
that upon the ordinary highways the economi-
cal limit to transportation is confined within a
comparatively few miles, depending of course
upon the kind of freight and character of the
roads. Upon the average of such ways cost of
transportation is not far from fifteen cents per
mile, which may DC considered as sufficiently
correct estimate for an average of the country
Estimating at the same time the value of wheat
at 81 80 per bnshel and corn at Is cents. and
that 33 bushels OF each are equal 10 a ton, the
value of the former would he equal to its cost
OF transportation for $50 miles, and the latter
lG5 miles, AT these respective distances from
market, neither of the above articles would
have any commercial value, with only COM
mon Garth road as an avenue to market
Gut we find that we can move property upon
Railroads at the rate of l.5 cents per ton per
mile. or for One-teuth the cost upon the ordina-
ry road. These works therefore extend the
economic limit Of the cost of transportation of
the above articles to $500, and $50 miles res
pectively. At the limit of the economical
movement of these articles upon the common
highway, by the use of Railroads. wheat would
be worth S44 so, and corn S22 q, which sum
respectively would represent the actual increase
of value created by the interposition of such
work.
The following table will show the amount
saved per ton by transportation by Railroad.
over the ordinary highways of the country.

The following story has been well told before

The following story has been well told before
but it is good enough to tell again.
1t is well known that Mr.. Webster was keen
sportsman. When he went out cunning it was
his frequent practice to wander alone in search
of birds to considerable distance from home.
and to places where he was quite unknown
On one of these occasions, as he was shooting
on a piece of ground covered with swamps. and
with many creeks rucning through it, two dan.
dy sportsmen thus accosted him: Here, old
chap, we can't get over this creek; if you'll
carry us over on your back, we'll give you a
quarter apiece" ''Donc," said the person thus
accosted ; and forthwith he carried them across
one after the other. There's your money! ,;
said one of them; "you seem like smart old
fclcr, what your name?" "Daniel Webster, =
was the reply. The youths looked at him. saw
such was the case and apologized "Nevc,
mind" remarked Daniel, ..you' re not the first
fools I've got out of difficulty, but III keen
your quarters as curiosity" And it is said
they form portion Of tho private cabinet o.
curiosties at Marshfeld.
The extent of Parson BrownlOws influence
in Knoxville, Tenn, may be inferred from the
fact that his ticket-the Webster ticket--re-
ceived precisely one vote. 1t cannot be hard
to say who gave it.
LATEST FROM YANKEEDOM:-It is said that q
down-caster recently packed up a cargo OF
snow and sold it in South Carolina for salt
This beats the nutmeg trade some.

1t will be seen that The value of lands are af
fectcd by Railroads in the same ratio as their
products. For instance lands lying upon
navigabe water course, or in the Immediate Vi
cinity of a market may be worth for the culture
OF wheat 500. Let the average caop be esti-
mated at twenty-five bushels to the acre. valu-
ed at S33. aud the cost of cultivation at SIS,
this would leave SIS per acre as the net profit
This quantity of wheat (two-thrds of a tom
could be transported $50 miles at cost of one
cent per mile, or S3 80, which would leave
Sl4 7Oas the net profit of land at that distance
from market, when connected with it by a
Railroad. The value of the land therefore,
admitting the quality to be the same in both
cases, would bear the same ratio to the assum-
ed value of $780, as the value of its products.
Sl4 40, does to SIS or $50 per acre which is
an actual creation of value to that amount. as
sumng the correctness of the premises. The
same calculation may of course be applied
with equal force to any kind and species of
property.
