suits They think the business will not be
great That is total mistake. No COM
mercial project in the world ever did, or can
offer such prospect of business and profits.
Why, look at the business of the Panama
route already route nearly three times
the distance OF railway on the continent.
Look at the Pacific coast-soon to be filed
with tens of millions of people. There is
no difficulty about business or profits The
difficulty lies in making the road The
government has neglected its daty and made
a great blunder in not seizing this great en-
terprise, and completing it as its own. The
Northern and Middle States, especially those
of the Ohio valley have made a great mis-
take in net adopting and insisting upon the
middle route when they could. Congress
seems now to have thrown the matter back
upon the enterprise of the people. In this
aspect OF the case, there is no doubt that
the Southern route offers the most tempta-
ton to a private company. Texas offers a
premium of 100000 per mile, for 700
miles, If this offer be. accepted. it Will
prove that moneyed men are not as blind as
the government. If. on the completion of
that 700 miles, California does not offer an
equal amount to continue the work over her
mountains, there it can stop, and being built
almost without cost to the stockholders, and
opening up rich country, must be profta-
bic stock. only as work from the Missis-
sippi to the Rio Grande. Nationally, we
consider the Middle route, extending from
the valleys of the Ohio and Missouri, as the
one which the government ought undou5t-
edly to construct But if the government
will not do what is so palpably its interest
and its duty and if the people who live in
the great central States are so Indifferent
and careless to their own interests, then
there is no reason why private company
should not seize upon the offers of Texas,
and have the glory of constructing Grand
Pacific Railway. Rail Road Record

what a Hen Did,

A correspondent Of the La Grange Whig
gives the following amusing account of the
way a farmer was taught how cheapiy he
could take the papers. The lesson is worth
poudering, by good many men we " wot -
OF =
You have hens at home, of course
Well, [ will send you my paper for one
year for the proceeds of one single hen for
one season; merely the proceeds It
seems trihing prepcsterous to imagine the
products of single hen will pay the sub
scription perhaps it wont. but make the
offer"
Done" exclaimed farmer B., L agree
to it, and appealed 10 me as witness in the
affair.
The farmer went away apparently much
elated with his conquest. and the editor
went bis way rejoicing.
Time rolled round, and the world revolv-
ed ON It's axis and the sun moved in its or
bits Just as it formerly did, the farmer re-
ceived his paper regularly. and regaled him
self with the information obtained from it.
He not only knew the affairs of his own
country. but became conversant upon the
leading topics of the day, and the political
and financial convu!Sions Of the times
His children delighted, too, in perusing
the contents of their weekly visitor. In
short. be said, he was surprised at the pro-
gress Of himself and family in general in
formation
Sometime in the month Of September. I
happened no again in the ofice, when who
should step in but our friend the farmer

the editor. extending his hand. and his
countenance lit up with bland smile, -
take chair, sir, be seated, fine weather
we have"
Yes, sir, quite fine indeed" answered
the farmer shaking the preferred paw" of
the editor. and then short silence ensued
during which our friend B hitched
his chair back and forward. and twirled his
thumbs abstractly. and spit Irofusely.:
Starting up quickly lie said, addressing the
editor:

When at the wagon the farmer commenced
handing over the editor the products of tie

/ eighteen pullets worth shilling each, and
a number OF dozen of eggs. making in the
aggregate at the least calculation So so,
one dollar more than the price of the paper.
