nv paid Hon. John Moore, treasurer of this
state, twenty-nine thousand dol lars, under
Nh, provision of the 18th section OF the
charter, whereby the state becomes entitled
to a portion Of the earnings Of the road
This is the first payment That has been made.
and when we remember that The road has
lust been opened, and that it is yet ncom-
plete, we are agreeabIy surprised at the large
ness of the sum.
Without an outlay Of dollar from her
own col!ars, without dollars respOnslbIIi-
~. Illinois from this time hrncforih, will
be he recipient Of a constantly increasing
revenue from this quarter. Within tea
wears the sums so paid will meet the annu-
nj interest Of tha then remaining state debt,

And SO soon as Illinois "sets up for her
self, and is able to shake of her vasSala8a

of the products of different latltudes will b.
stimulated, the state revenue from this road
alone will every year meet the ordinary and
extraordinary expenses Of the state govern

A Faithful Girl.

A case of woman's devotion has recently
been brough, to our knowledge, which Ger
ta;nly equals anything tina. we have ever
met with in the realms of romance. The
circumstances occurred in this city. and are
perfectly well authenticated. While the
small pox was raging here I few weeks ago
young man employed in store on Lake
street was seized with the disease. II was
Of course improper for him to remain there,
and the people with whom he lived, who
were distant relatives of his, refused to
permit him 70 stay in their house. The
resul, was that he was taken 70 the pest
house.
1t SO happened that he was engaged to
be married TO most estimabie lady. M
sooner did she hear OF his condition tina n she
determined at once that sha would nurse
him. she underw ent vaccination, and then
went where they hal taken her betroshed
10 the pest house. Here she found hiE,
alone, sick. wretched, deserted by all the
| world. And here she remained like 9 min
isterng angel, waiting beside the bed Of
pain, soothing his distresses and attending
10 his wants. He died But how conso.
ling must have beea his last moments.
Though ali the world had forsaken him
she, " HON he had loved better than all the
world, remained faithful TO the last. Her
hand il was that smoothed his pillow; her
eyes still beamed upon him with mournfu
but una bated affection; into her ear be pour.
ed his last words OF love, Of sorrow, and
hopes that in this world might never be ful.
filed.
II recalled to our 10 nd, when we heard il
the words that Bulwer puts in the mouth Of
one of his charscters:-"To be watched
and tended BY the one We love, who wonld
not walk blind and barefoo.ed over the
worId,"- Chicneo Trih

\ The Cleveland Herald says that few
days SINCE in Utica. New York, number
fof Frenshmen were negotiating for the
establishment in that city Of mandatory
Of boots and shoes BY machinery. The ex.
Ploiss Of these machines are we'll nigh mar.
vellous, but the assertions Of these gentle
men are so backed up by authentic docu-
ments as to preclude the suppositisn of i'm.
position. 1t 10 said that the manufacture
Of = 6ae shoe will cost but ten cents, and
that Of 6ne boot bat fifteen or twenty
cents. II these things be so. ap-stones
and waxed-ends will soon be at discount.
Specimens Of coarse and fine work of every
variety, and Of most admirable finish, are
shown and the most ample guaranty is Offer
ed as TO the performance Of these machines.
We notice BY the Utica Telegraph that
the mat,eris now public, and that immediate
steps are to be taken to organise company
The Telegraph says that the owners are
now in Washington securing patent for
their machine. and it thus speaks of its per-
formance
"Ths machine Is 90 perfect that il is only
necessary to place in it two pieces Of sole
and upper leather, and in an incredibly short
space Of time it turns out complete boot
or shoe, a. 10 desired. We learn that a
number Of capitalists of this city are nego-
tiating for the purchase Of the patent, and
that il 10 their intention, should they sue
coed in securing it, to purchase the Globe
Mills and TO convert them into an extensive
boot and shoe mandatory, employing some
seven hundred hands. A gentleman in this
city now extensively interested in manufac.
turing, 10 in New York negotiating for the
purchase Of the patent"
The machines can be run by women and
boys, and their proper management does
not require any knowledge Of the presen,
way OF making boots and shoes. The great
est hopes are entertained from the in,roduc-
ton Of these machines, for, notwithstand.
ing the first opposition to bor-saving mach
ines, experience has always demonstrated
their utility and benefit. Perhaps no branch
of business has for years kept so near stand
still as tho manufacture of boots and
shoes, few improvements reaching that
branch of mechanics, and who knows bu,
the time has come when an undreamed Of
stride ahead will astonish all shoemakers /.

Christian Names.

II Is common to call the first, or ''giyer
name" of . person his Christian name
But it is, in many instances, decided mis-.
homer. For that name is as apt 10 be q
heather, or Jewish, ora mere sentimental
not an an,irely nondescript name, as q
Christian one.
When Mr.. Cohen appeared - a witness
in . certain court of justice, he was asked
He replied, 81 have none-l am Jew;
but my frsi name lie Moses
There are some ridiculous names given
to children, frequently from sheer ignorance
-Putnam's Magazine Gays, there isl youth
now living in Philadelphia who was named
Commodas, after one of the most Infamous
r 5man Emperors!
We lately saw in print the given name
Of a person called Commodore Perry. No
doubt the parents were ofthe opinion, that
Commodore" vas the given name of that
brave naval officer. They might as we'll
call another son Gent Jackson. or Squire
Dinpkins. or Captain Frizzlebottom.
The late Bishop Chase OF Illinois had
dislike to having Greek and Roman names
imposed upon Children, which he displayed
very poin,.dy on one occasion when q
child was brought to him to be baptized.
"Name this child" said the Bishop.
MARCUS Tullus Cicero" answered the
father.
"What!"
MARCUS Tullius Cicero
"Tui tut! with your heather nonsense!
Peter, bsptize thee" and the child was
Peter thenceforlh and forever.
We formerly had subscriber in an ad-
jacent county, whose given name was
Marquis Lafayette. The parents were de
er he deserved it or not.
