Our Railroad Again.

The Democrat of last week had article in reference to
Railroad, in which, in attempting explain the
present position Of the enterprise, is minated that the
Board of Directors the officers OF the Company, re-
sponsbe for the delay and inactivity OF the late contractors
The Directors of the Railroad, claiming authority under the
contract with the late contractors Of the Road discharge
them and take possession Of the road after mature deber
alton and consideration concluded do The Directors
of "arge experience and high character" and
deeply personally interested-not in making
speculatiOns of successful contractbut in the
struction Road Instead therefore, of the discharge
Of tie late contractors leading TO the conclusion that
may well abandon the enterprise at once the Demo
cut says think in virtue OF the failure Of tie Contrac
tors to comply with the provisions of the cora and tie
manifest determination Of the Directors to more
time with large contractors bat to push the ROAD
should and will tend to increase and restore confidence
in the work.
Nor do we think the resignation Of Capt r. W. Fowler
will prove very disastrous 1t may be that the Captain has
fairly earned The reputation which IS claimed for him as
Railroad man, but we have seen 10 evidence Of it, Blu
whether rot the Directors were willing to dispense
with his services and have no idea that the acceptance
of his resignation will have any disastrous influence OF

soL1TUDE.-We sometimes read of hernitages-of
secluded spots sequestered hooks, and such like local
tiles, that are deemed Edens by those only who are
fond of, romantic habitations-we have taste for
them once in great while; but a late New Hamp-
shire paper has put the finish imaginations of
this kind by relating an incident in the life of lady
who has but recently left solitary hermitage and
moved into the "white settlements " of Maine. 1t
seems that more than ten years ago her husband "a
Boston merchant) failed in business and determined
to retire to the country where by hard labor he could
earn and lay by sufficient to purchase himself farm,
and thereafter lead the life of quiet ter of the soil.
In of his rambling fishing excursions he fell in
with lovely retreat, fifteen or twenty miles from the
nearest habtaton, on the bleak shores of of the
Northern lakes. Here he removed, with his little
family and by active exertions in fishing collecting
furs etc, secured competence sufficient to answer
his purpose The spot being visited only by amateur
fishermen during the warmest season of summer eight
months of each year neither himself or his wife saw
any human being save their own family, and during
their residence of eight gears the wife Meier met cit
other o,on sea- We call that living almost ''sol-
itary and alone, and it shows how exclusively the
welfare and happiness Of family, engage the heart
and soul of woman :" Wherever thou goest will 60
thy home shall be nv home"

BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT Shortly before the de-

ed sermon which contained this beautiful illustra-
ton
Life bears us on like stream of mighty river.
Our boat at first gides down the narrow channel
through the playful murmuring of the little brooks
and the winding of its grassy borders. The trees
shed their blossoms over our young heads the flowers
on the brink seem to offer themselves to our young
hands we are happy in hope, and we grasp eagerly
at the beauties around but thestream htrries on
and still our hands are empty Our course in youth
and manhood is along wilder and deeper flood,
amid objects more striking and magnificent We are
animated at the moving pictures and enjoyment and
industry passing us 1--WE are excited at some short
lived disappointment. The stream bears us on, and
our joys and grets are alike left behind us. We may
be shipwrecked, we cannot be delayed; whether
rough Or smooth the river hastens to its home till
the roar of the ocean is in ears and the tossing of
the waves is beneath feet, and the land lessons
from our eyes, and the floods lifted up around us,
and we take our leave of earth and its inhabitants
until Of our further voyage there is witness save
the infinite and eternal.i

A TEMPERANCE JoKE.-Joe Harris was whole
soued, merry fellow, and very fond of glass. After
living in New Orleans for many years. he came to the
conclusion of visiting old uncle away up in Massa.
chusetts, whom he had not seer for many years.
Now there is difference between New Orleans and
Massachusetts in regard to the use of ardent spirits
and when Joe arrived there he found all the people
run mad about temperance, he felt bad thinking with
the old song, that keeping the spirit up by pouring
the spirit down. was of the best ways to make
time pass and began to feel indeed that he was in
pickle. But on the morning after his arrival the old
man and sons being gone out at work, his aunt came
to him and said: ave.
Joe, you have been living in the South, and no
doubt are in the habit of taking something to drink
about eleven o'clock. Now, keep some for medi-
cal purposes, but let one know it as my husband
wants to be a good example"
Joe promised, and thinking that he would get no
more that day, took as he expressed it, q buser'
After he had walked out to the stable, who should
meet him but his uncle.
"Well, Joe,'' said he, expect that you are &C.
customed to drinking something in New Orleans, but
you find all temperate here, and for the sake of my
sons don't let them know that have any brandy
about but just keep little for my rheumatism.
Will you take some?"
Joe signfcd his readiness and took another big
horn. Then continuing his walk he came to where
the boys were mailing ras.s After conyersing a
WHILE one of his cousins said
"Joe, expect you would like to have DRAM and
the old folks down liquor we have some out
here to help us on with the works.
Out came the bottle, and down they sat, and as he
says by the time that he went to dinner he was as
tight as he could be.

SWISS CoURTING.-When a girl has arrived at a
manageable age, the young men Of the village as
semble by consent on given night at the gallery of
the chalet in which the fair resides. This creates
manner Of surprise in the mind Of her parents,
who not only wink at the practice but are never bet
pleased than when the charms of their daughter
attract the greatest number Of admirers. Their ar
rival is announced by sundry taps at the diff
ferent windows. After the family in the house has
ben reused and dressed for the scene usually takes
the window of the room prepared for the occasion,
in which the girl is first alone, is opened. The parey
commences, Of rather bosterous description; each
in his turn urges his suit with all the eloduence
and art of which he possesses The fair one hesi-
ates, doubts asks questions, but comes to no deci
sion. She then invites the party to partake of
past Of cakes and Kerchwosser, which is prepared
for them on the balcony. Indeed this entertainment,
with the strong water of the cherry, forms promi
nent feature in the proceedings of the night
After having RECALLED themselves for some time,
during which and through the window she has made
desire to get rid of them and will sometimes call her
parents to accomplish this object. The youths how
ever are not to be put off for according to the GUS
tom Of the country, they have here for the ex
press purpose of compelling her on that night,
there and then, to make up her mind and to declare
the object of her choice. s:1
AT length, after further parley her hearts touch
ed, or at least she pretends it is by the favored
swain After certain prelimnaries between the girl
and her parents her lover is admitted through the
window where the Alliance is signed and sealed but
not delivered in presence Of both father and mother
consent of all parties the ceremony not to extend
beyond couple of hours, when, after second JOLT
icaton with Kerschwosser, they all retre-the happy
man to bless his stars, but the rejected to console
themselves that at the next Tournament of loye-mak
ing they may succeed better In general, the girls
decision is taken in good part by all, and is regarded
as decisive.

SUPER HEATED STEAM.-Super heated steam has
some singular properties. While chip held quar-
ter of an inch from the nozzle of trycock wonld be
forced away by the issuing steam held within an
eighth of an inch of the nozzle, it would be drawn
suddenly to- and orciby retained against the opening
as if by magnetism. The property of super heated
steam to absorb water is also remarkable. A boiler
chincry of which was heavily weighed, being neglected
under brisk firing day, got overheated. When the
discharge acted, it was through nozzle turned down
ward into pail of cold water the steam suddenly
shot into it did not would be supposed, blow the
water about the engine room, but it converted every
drop Of it into steam, filing the whole building with
a dense cloud Of vapor.

DESTRUCTIVE Ess.-Mr. IS. p correspondent of the
Aberdeen, Miss Conservative, has recently voyaged
out from his habitual solitudes, where his imagina
tion fed upon romance and recent novels, led him to
expect view d'oro of the worlds he was about
TO visit. Unfortunately, he has found human nature
the same everywhere. He has been sadly disappoint-
ed, shocked and overwhelmed. Writing back to the
Conservative a column of mournful and plaintive
lamentations, he thus settles New Orleans and its
hotels-fxes the Texas steamship company--and,
generally, undoes the framework of social being.
We sincerely sympathise with Mr.. 81 in his mani
fold Affections and trust that when he recuperates
from his present disgust he may take another in
some other direction, and report for the many
joyments that he encounters.

St. Charles Hotel and the owners of the Texas line

upper deck at that) with scarcely room enough to
turn around in. We came over on the Mexico. If
