Six DAYS IN A GRAvE.-A short time ago two
men and boy were buried six days and nights in
mari pit at Ecretiyille in the department of the
Seine lnterieur, and then rescued. During the
whole Of that time they were without food with
out water, without light and almost without
clothes; and were IN such confined place that
with the exception Of the boy, they could not
stand upright Boitard, the eldest man, declares
that during the whole time he did not sleep more
than two hours; but his two companions and es-
peciaIly the youngest, slept more They slept back
to back. They felt no hunger, and Boitard said
that even if they had had provisions they would
not have touched them; but they experienced great
thirst.
On the fourth day they found little water thick
with mari, by digging into the bottom of the pit
1t was this water, probably, which preserved their
strength. At first they heard the noise Of the
pickaxes and spades above them but during the last
three days their breathing was so loud as to pre-
vent it from reaching them; and this circumstance
naturally increased their agony Of mind they also
feared the miners were digging in wrong dircc-
ton. One Of them had fifty chemical matches and
a small piece Of candle; but though they often
tried, they could not for the want of air. cause the
candle to burn.
During the latter part of the time, they became
SO exhausted to be unconscious other position;
but they remember that the boy once cried, as if
in dream, There is the rope, Boitard! Let US
ascend Only one Of them, Brard, was able to
shed tears; and when he did so, the boy consoled
him by telling him that they were sure to be rescu-
ell. The moment breath Of air reached them
they tainted, but after a while recovered The first
thing Boltard said on being rescued was: ''Gve
me a pinch of snufl' and he took it with intense
delight GnlJnani's Paris Messenger.

IL,
greatly different from the actual Philadelphia route
The Baltimore route has from the beginning been
embarrassed and burdened by Virginia legislation
compelling Baltimore TO do what there was no need
of doing, and costing the Railroad Company atleast
ten million of dollars. This ten millions is what is
now incubus upon it-depressing its stock. and
preventing the immediate accomplishment Of its d.
rect connection with Cincinnati.
Notwithstanding this, however the connanv
will complete the direct route to ParkersburS
which IS itself inferior to what the route might have
BEEN had the company been left free to choose
In spite, however, of these burdens and embarras-
ments most foOlishly imposed upon it, the Balti-
more Company has already accomplished a great
work, and will do more. There is nothing to dis
courage them, except the enormous and useless cost
to which they have been put by narrow-minded
legislation. The passage of the muuntains-the
tunnels which have been made-the difficulties
overcome constitute triumph of skill and persever-
ance. To Mr.. b. H. Latrobe who has been its con-
slant as well as most skifnl Engineer, praise is
due from science, as well as commerce The pas
sage of the mountains, where he made it. was at
tended with extraordinary obstacles, which have
been successfully overcome.
Having the twenty-seyenth annual report of the
President and Directors before us, we avail our
selves OF the opportunity to analyZe some of the
results of the road
I've are first interested in knowing what eff
feet the completion of the road to Wheeling has had
on tonnage. This will show how far railroads are
calculated to carry heavy freight over high grades,
and will determine at once the probabilities of
heavy traffic on our Ohio and Indiana Railroads
especially IN such articles as coal, ron -four whis-
Ky, pork, sc The complete road has been IN OPP
Grafton only six months, although opened in Janua-
ryA The results of these six months traffic howev-

LORD BYEoNs OPINION OF THE TURKs.-In all
money transactions with the Moslems | ever found
the sricest honor the highest dsinterestedness in
transacting business with them, there are none of
those dirty peculatons under the name of interest
difference Of exchange, commission &c, uniformly
found on applying to a Greek consul to cash bills
even on the best houses in Peru. In the Capital,
and at Court the citizens andcourters are formed in
the school with those of Christianity; but there
does not exist more honorable, friendly, and
high spirited character tn the true Turkish pro-
vincial Aga, or AOslem country gentleman The
lower orders are as toerable discipline as the rab-
bic in countries with greater preiensions of cvilza-
ton. Mosem, in walking the streets of our coun-
try towns, would be more incommoded in England
than Frank in similar situation in Turkey
The Ottomans with all their defects are not
people to be despsed. EQUAL at least, TO the Span
iardS, they are superior to the Portuguese. If it
be difficult to say what they are we can at least
say what they are not; they are not treacherous,
they are not cowardiy, they do not burn heretics,
they are not assassins, nor has an enemy advanced
to their capital They are faithful to their Sultan
till he becomes unfit TO govern, and devout TO their
God without an lnquisition. Were they driven
from St Sophia Tomorrow and the French or Ru.-
slams enthroned in their stead, it would become
question whether Europe would gain by the ex-
change. England would certainly be the loser
With regard to that ignorance of which they are SC
generally, and sometimes so justly accused it may
be doubted, always excepting France and England,
in what useful points Of knowledge they are excelled
by other nations. Is it in the common arts Of life?
In their manufactures? Is Turkish sabre Interior
to Toledo? Orisa Turk worse clothed and lodged.
or fed and taught than Spaniard? Are their Pa
chas worse educated than Grandee, or an Efendi
than Knight of St Jago? | think not.

Instead ofspend:ny time and money in the heat
and dissipation OF fashionable resorts, they should
go TO the SUBMITS ofmountains and streams on our
railways-build a cheap cottage, and rIralize in
health and retirement. On the pure covered, rock
strewed SUBMITS of the Alleghanies are the health
lest places in the United States; and there the
pleasure-seeker as well as the student may find
the sweetest peasantest retirement in the world
In time this will be seen and tie ever green slopes

BALTIMORE AND OHIO RaILROAD-TTS WORK
INliS AND CONSEQUENCES

The Baltimore and Ohio IA roa.l is one of tie
most important public works in this country and,
unquestlonably will be followed hy important con-
seqnences-if not so much as anticipated in its
through tralfc-yet in It's effects on the country
through which IT passes, and on the city of BaIti-
more
Portions of this work were completed eighteen
years since, and last year it finished to Wheel
ing on the Ohio. To Cumberland ESQ miles, it
has been in operat on several years, so that the
work OF this road furnishes no inconsiderable data
by which to estimate the effects Of railway on a
graincountry.
In one respect. the stockholders of the Baltimore
road have been disappointed, viz: the amount Of
hroUghtg6tc. The reasen for this, at resent
whatever may be the ultimate results quite OBJ
vious 1t is not enough to make a railway TO the
Ohio river in these days of flying 1t must 90 on
to the central points-to Cincinnati Louisville and
St Louis. These are the points, in the West where
everybody south Of the Lake shore concentrate on
their way to the East. From those points they 90
by rail. They will not with rare excep:iopsl 90
three hundred miles by steamboat. We have Oh,
served, both on the Hudson and at Cincinnati the
effect of CelOciy in tempting passengers 1t NAV be
set down, as principle of human nature that nine
tenths Of mankind will take the fastest conveyance
be it what it may. The old lady, who said she was
got TO 60 in the raicars but nerer would 60 con
them telegram wires was mistaken in her esti
mate of herself She would 90 on the telegram
wires too, fthey would take her.
But, Baltimore means to come to Cincinnati and
St Louis and in doing this, she expects to have
great advantages over other Eastern cities. Thus
the air line distances are these:
New York to Cincinnati $50 miles.
Philadelphia 500
Baltimore 43O q
Now, if Baltimore loses nothing in time and COM
fort in coming 10 Cincinnati she unquestionably has
the advantage. But all railroads le5e distance and

the Paramount she has lost all the advantage which
nature gave her. For example,

The fact that the claim of RoDMAN NJ
PRICE to the Gubernatorial Chair of New
Jersey will be contested at the next ses-
sion of the Legislature of that State has
been made public. Mr.. Price has received
notice to that effect signed by JOEL
HAYwooD, who was his competitor for
the Office at the late election. The
grounds Of contest are, that Mr.. Price is
not elighible for the station because he
had not been a resident of the State for
seven years next before the election, and
that his absence therefrom was not upon
business of the State or of. the United
States. The question will be tried by tue
Legislature, whose decision will be final.
Until the dispute is settled the President
of the State Senate will act as Governor.

road iron is largely carried on and with
the greatest success. The process of its
manufacture is q wonder. The bars are
wrought with great rapidity and when
rolled out are sawed to the proper length
with the ease of soft wood. In connec-
tion with these worksan immense steam
engine is in process of construction which
will be one Of the most powerful stations
ry engines in the country. 1t has two
steam cylenders of 81 inches in diameter;
and two blowing cylinders ITO inches IN

those extensive works and to the coal

the time and trouble of reaching them.
Scranton, although very recently estab-
lished, has become large and flourish
ing town, and in its moral aspects as well
as its character for enterprise it occupies
high position. The stamp of the large
hearted, noble minded christian men who
founded it, will long be left upon the
place. Some of its buildings are fine
specimens of architecture. The Presby-
terian church is one of the most chaste
and beautiful Gothic buildings to be found
in country or city. The Wyoming House
which is large and fine establishment,
is one of the best arranged and we'll kept
