A MONSTER RAILwAY.--A railway along the
whole course of the Mississippi river, from New
Orleans to the Falls Of st. Anthony, is spoken Of
a. being in process of construction. The Phila-
delphia American says:
s'From New Orleans to Memphis the road lies
east of the river and is in the hands of three dis
tinct companies, having been in progress three
years, and being now nearly finished. The dis
lance is three hundred niles AT Memphis it
crosses to the Arkansas side OF the river, and
traverses that State seventy miles, a company be-
ing organized for the construction of that link
From the Arkansas boundary to the city Of ST.
Louis it is called the St. Louis and Iron Mountain
Railroad aud Is in the charge of a company which
has purchased nine thousand tons of rails, and is
making preparations to run an engine on it this
year. From st Louis to st. Charles Missouri it
IA called the North Missouri Railroad, twenty miles
OF which are finished. From thence to Keokuk,
Iowa, it is called the Mississippi Valley Railroad
North and a company has been organized to build
the line one hundred and forty miles. From thence
t, ST. Anthony, Minnesota, companies arc already
Chartered to build the road. When finished, as
I'LL these various divisions will be at no distant day,
the road will be the longest in the world. Our
country is fast multiplying such immense chains Of
iron roads among which we may mention those
from New York to Rock Island, from Philadelphia
to st. Louis, from Charleston 10 Memphis, from
Boston to Buffalo, from Mobile to Chicago, and
from Boston, by way Of New York, Philadelphia,

"yIcroR GALDRAITHn "A correspondent of the
ST. Paul Democrat gives the following touching
"reminiscences of the subject Of Longfellow's late
poem, "yictor Galbraith:"
Victor was the son of DR.. Galbraith, of Galena,
Illinois lie went TO Mexico with one Of the regi-
rnents, He was young man of prepossessing APP
pearance, active mind and too much Independence
and pride for soldier. The writer Ind forgotten
that hc was bugler which it appears from the
poem lie was. For some threat against his cap
tain, perhaps provoked by the iusolence or tyran-
ny OF his SUPERIOR he was tried, condemned, and
shot, us narrated by Mr.. Longfellow. The I'M
strung nerves Of the guard detailed for bis execu.
ton destroyed their aim, and at the first discharge
he was only horribly msnged. The second fire
put linn out OF his pain, and thus ANONYMOUSLY
died Victor Galbraithn by the hands Of his own
comrades The news of his melancholy fate borne
20 his own father, 10 his mother, brothers, and sis
ters was but one of the million pples Of grief aud
agony that flowed from the desolating tide Of war.
II would have been hard for that old father to
have heard news OF the death of his son pierced
and hewn by the balls and swords of the enemy !;
but how inexpressbly more sad and heart-rcnd-
ing that he died by the hands ofhis messmates and
comrades.

TRANSLATION OF A TEA-wRAPPER.-W take
the following from our Celestial contempora-
ry, the Ting NgOi San Luck:
Those mysterious characters that are in
crbed, like the symbols of astrology upon
The packages of tea, have bothered many a
good na!ron in our Western lands. There
is nothing, however, mystical about them
They are simply the card of the native mer-
chants. The following is the translation of
the imprint, in red ink, upon yellow wrap
per of half pound package, such as our lady
friends buy every day in the shops:
q" HANG-Po--IIIN CoMPANY.--Our firm
themselves 90 up into the Bohea Hills, and
select with much care the prime spring crops
of the precipices, and all other kinds of tea,
for both Cantonese and Foreign use Our
weights are exact to q hair. Our store i'll
Canton is outside the Five Cent? Gate,
upon Fruit Balustrade Street. Honorable
visitors, who are disposed to favor us, will
recognize our humblc establishment by the
sign board, IIang-po- from Fuhkien.'
Remembering this, there will be no mistake"
To this we may add in explanation, that
the title of the company means the Endur-
ing>precious- elevated Comfary. Chinese
nflnS always CHOOSE Two or three lucky
words, which are combined to make a title
just as we say the Good-intent Company.
The Bohea Hills are in the ncighboring pro-
vince of Fuhkien, and distant some five hun
drcd miles or so from the city of Canton.
The best black tea comes from that portion of
the empire. And the selection of the tea
from the precpices is great matter; as the
scanty gleanings from the highest cliffs are
supposed to contain superior virtues.
