RAILROAD ANOMALIES.

The maintenance of the Union is not solely de-
pendent upon the Federal Constitution, whose i'm
portance is naturally exalted by politicians, but
upon easy safe, and a,id material and iumaterial
intercourse between the States. This comes o.
three agencies: the steamboat, the railroad, and
the magnetic telegraph. The last is the most
wonderful, but the Union hangs mainly on the
operation of the two frst-espscially the railroad
The subject of railroads thus far has been left
entirely to State legislation or the action Of CON-
panies proceeding under State legi.lation-though
the ponderous reports made to Congress on the
routes proper for railroad from the Mississippi
to the Pacific indicate that the General Govern
ment will yet make, or aid in making, the greatest
railroad in the world. The political aspects Of
railroads then, are Of the gravest weight. They
underlie our whole national fabric. They destroy
the prophecies on the dissolution Of the Union
based on the old standard before railways

sEw-ORLRANs AS SHE Is,

In former years New Orleans was notorious for
brutality and bloodshed-as was indeed the whole
South.west-but latterly that ill.hme has dis
appeared, and we have been wont 10 believe life
and limb as safe from violence there a. in most
places But this favorable impression would seem
to be erroneous. Indeed, we have never met with
q more revolving exposure than has just been
brought to our notice respecting that city Of
eighty five thousand inhabitants To say the truth,
the condition Of things there, as tits described,
almost defes the imagination. Rome ro''ing under
tb, later emperors, Copstantinople crumblng into
the Turkish rule, Paris in 1898, were severslly
secure in comparison with NeE-Orleans In 1855.
Society there appears to be resolving itself into
its pristine elements, and the community bounding
onward to political chaos. Just look at the san
culinary chronicle Of the city for single MONTH
as recorded in The True Delta; and, as private
letter says "bad as it is it does not include more
than one half of what ha, taken place."

We publish to-day letter of Francis p. Blair,
exeditor of The Globe, the organ Of Gen. jack
sons Administration, in which, while declining for
personal reasons to join the Republican Associations
of the City Of Washington he still gives hs hearty
and decided adherence to the policy and principles
of the great Republican party. There are pss
ssges in this letter which show that though Mr..
Blair has withdrawn from active political life. biz
pen retains all its original keenness and vigsr
he demolishes the pretense that Congress has no
power to legislate for the Territories, by showing
that the word regulation" used in the Constitution
in connection with this subject, was precisely tho
word hsbitually in use by the Continental Congress
TO designate laws meant TO operate in the Terhr
tories only, as distinct from laws or ordinances
applicable to the whole CoIfederacy
The whole of the new doctrines on this subjec
have grown, Mr. Blair thinks, out Of Presidential
aspirations" The decision of the people in choos-
ing President infexibly bent on resisting these
innovations WILL in bis opinion, at once put an end
to them. "Senators will easily comply when the
nations demand is backed by Presidential power
"and patronage, and hopes Of the future which

hand, every conquest Of this element of discord

TEE AvENeER OF BLOOD.

| I'LL AV 5NG6R SE bA0OD
| We take the following relic of an an.
cient custom still in existence among
some of the Indian tribes of our wes-
tern wilds, from Boynton's Journey
through Kansas"
A few years since, at the base of an
Indian mound, q chief resided, whose
young daughter was girl of uncommon
beauty and this beauty was but the ex-
ternal manifestations of pure and noble
spirit. As a matter of course she had
many admirers among thoyoung braves
of her nation. Her nature was above
the arts of coquet and loving one
among them all, and only one, she hes
itated not to let her preference be known,
not only to the young Eagle who had
won her heart, but also to those whose
suit she had rejected. Among the re-
jected suiters one alone so laid it to heart
as o'desire revenge He, the Prowling
Wolf, was filled with rage, and took lit
tie pains to conceal his enmity, though
he manifested no desire for open violence
Both those young men were brave, both
skillful in the use of weapons, which far
away on the buffalo plains had sometimes
been used in battle but while Young
Eagle was noble, generous in spirit, and
swayed by such high impulses as a
young savage may feel, the Wolf was re-
served, dark and sulien and his natur-
ally lowering brow seemed. after the
maiden had refused him, to sottle into
an habitual scowl The friends of the
Young Eagle feared for his safety. He,
however, was too happy in the smiles of
his chosen bride to trouble himself con-
cerning the enmity of another, especial
ly when he knew himself to be his equal
both in strength and skill.
The Indian custom did not permit
the young people to be much alone with
each other but they sometimes contrived
to meet at twilight on the top of this
mound, and spend there together hap
py hour. Young Eagle was favorite
with his tribe, except among the kins-
men of the Wolf; and among the whites
too, he had made many friends, one of
whom, had hunted much with the Eagle,
had given him a Colts revolver, the only !
one owned in the tribe. Delighted with
this formidable weapon. he had made
it play thing till he became skillful in
its use. and always wore it about him in
addition to his other arms This was a
second cause of enlnity which the Wolf
laid up in his heart. Ho seemed to be
some dark scheme; but his se-
cret, if he had one, was confined to no
one. Bitter words were sometimes pass
ed between the young worriors, but
nothing more; yet it was felt that any
lime sudden rOusiDg of passions might
md in bloodshed
Ono summer evening, just as the
noon was UP, Young Eagle sought the

| Held earnest converse, rs about to part;
! maiden one, and one that seemed a brother,
But no-he loved her with warmer heart
How like rich sunset into crimson burning,
Flushed his pale features as the moment came
When he from home, from love, from friendship
turning,
Must breast the worlds hot strife for wealth
and fame.
His lips grew trcmulous with sad emotion,
A mist cane DER his eyes of starry blue,
His wild heart heaving like a wind tossed ocean,
As with specchless tongue he sighed adieu.
How vain, how vain the effort at assembling
Those who have braved the task alone may
tell
She saw the secret on his white lip trembling,
Heard loves confession in that mute farewell,
Sweet, tender thoughts to her he oft had broken
Thoughts fragrant with the breath of Eden's
bowers
Now dropped his mild blue eyes with love
unspoien,
Like violets weighed down by heavy showers.
SHE LOVED HIN xorl How like lost bark
heaving
Amid the breakers, seemed his hopeless heartl
SHE LOVED HIM NOT, though DER the shipwreck
grieving,
In which her kindly spirit had no part.
Her farewell in a soothing voice was given,
With ardent wishes for his proud success
He turned, from loves divine Elysium driven,
Tohide in Mammon's rnarts his wretchedness.
Years rolled away. Think We his love hath
perished
With youths gay sunny spring, which gave
it birth

The Hoop Gown.

In the memoirs of Sir Robert Strange
just published, it is mentioned that, in
the pursuit after Culloden, thai knight
had some narrow escapes. Oneef them
is amusing: " When hotly pressed, he
dashed into a room, where the lady
whose zeal had enlisted hinfin the fatal
cause, sat singing at. her needle work,
andfailing in!other means Of ccncealment
was indebted for safety to her prompt
invention. AS she quickly raised her
hooped gown, tlle afianced lover disap-
peared beneathfts ample eontour, where,
thanks to her cool demeanor and unfal-
tering notes, he lay undetccted, while
the rude and bafied soldiery vainly ran
sacked the house, To this lady, Mics
Isabella Lumisden, he was soon after
wards united, and her letters, containing
much shrewd sense, conveyed in the
homely style of her day, make up
great part Of the memoirs.
