EFFECT OF RAILROADS. The Baltimore
American has some suggestive remarks on the
beneficial results of railroads, with reference
to the Baltimore and Ohio line, which has
lately been completed to Wheeling. Until
that completion was elected Northwestern
Virginia was like an undiscovered country,
and shut off from any immediate and benefi-
cial intercourse with trade. The mountainous
nature Of the region, accounted to some eX-
tent for its isolation. 1t was virtually shut
in from the sea-board rs well as from the
Ohio river. But the railroad has altered this
state of things, and now, markets are open
for the inhabitants through its agency, both
at Baltimore and Wheeling. The result is n
rapid increase in the value of land and other
property, A spirit Of enterprise has. been
awakened The whistle of the cars has
aroused the people, and they have commenc-
ed to rub their eyes and look around them.
The privilege of the right of way-says the
American granted to the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company by Virginia, "was paid for
in full when the first train passed from the
Chesapeake to the Ohio, and each successive
year will bring its repetition of the payment
Railroads very rapidly pay Off their liabilities

furnished.with those little relinements usually
met with in polished society is an energetic,
shrewd man, and promising lawyer. A
neighbor of his, some weeks ago, was about
to give away his daughter in marriage, and
having deep-rooted dislike to the clerical
profession, and being determined, as he said,
"to have no Internal parson in his house," he
sent for his friend, the Judge to perform the
ceremony. The Judge came, and the candi-
dates for the connubal yoke taking their
places before him, he thus addressed the
bride: "You swear you will marry this man!'
-"Yes Stree" was the reply. Sand you.

did was to resign his seat in the United

he looked forward to his presidential term us

emphatically, "if man who has attained to
that office, cannot free himself from ciques

KEEP A GOOD HEADWAY ON-A stirring
man gets job done in half the time that Il
slow and easy one takes to begin it in. You
know how to calculate your distances-you
can steer clear Of collisions. But your fat
and lazy beasts stops when the safety Of the
carriage demands steady movement. We
were once half day beating from the open
sea around long sand point into the bay.
The tide was running strong against u.s. and
we had made several tacks without gaining
an inch to the W ndward. Once, as IN our
anxiety, we let the sail shake in the wind,
and were drited down in an instant more
than we had gained in hours, one on shore
shouted out, keep good headway on y
and at the tack weg took his advice. We
ran close to the beach-then showing down
the helm, she lutiet and slid up right in the
winds eye; and though her keel grated on the
sand, on recovering the helm she filled
away, and went careering off into her safe
harbor.
Keep a good hcadway on! and you will
shoot up easily past many point that
stretches across your course in life. Bc bu-
sy and keep at work in work hours we
employ the man to work for us whose shop
is crowded with customers. Don't leave bu-
siness undone to look up business. Keep
hard at what you find to do. Make horse

And the pnbIic press has done, and is still
doing, much to perpctuate the inquity by
recording as facts the most absurd of these
stories. In several Of these presses, the
movement of tables has been alleged as capa-
bic of being effected by circle sitting around
it, and touching it with their hands; thus
giving color to the widest of the ghostIy
stories, while disclaiming these and alleging
electricity as the cause But they forget to
tell, that the tables only move in the dark,
and that there will be found under each NOV
inc table stout negro, white or black, whose
muscles furnish the locomoton. lfanybody
alleges the contrary, we have small table in
our office on which we write, and we offer
one hundred dollars to any ghost or medium,
from this world or the other, who will move

spiritual, magnetic or electrical influence,

own optics; and they may sit in circle
