The Infamy Consummateu I


The Senate having passed the bill for the
sale of the Main Line of the Public Improve
menls to the Pennsylvania Railroad Compa'
ny, with some unimporlant amendments, the
House concuned in the same, OIL Tuesday,
and the bill wss finally passed and sent 10 the
Governor by whom ii has been signed and is
therefore law. The correspondent OF the
PitIsburg Union thus speaks OF the manner in
which the inquitous bill was concocied and
forced through the Legislature:
The bill was drawn by the enemies OF the
Democratic party. IT was supported and de-
Tended by united Republican and American
phalanx, and, with the aid of few fallen
Democrats, they passed it.
When it was under consideration in the
Senate its friends showed their determination
10 pass it as it was un many occasions; and
10 show how little these men cared for the
welfare Of the Commonwealth, let me state
few facts, which are upon record, aud
will rise up i'll judgment against them here
after.
II was proposed 10 amend this bill so as 10
give any other party than the Pennsy lvania
Railroad Company, the right 10 purchase the
Main Line, if they would pay higher price
for it, and the friends of The bill voleG the
amendment down.
1t was proposed 10 amend il so as 10 pro-
bibit the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
for declaring more than eight per cenlum div
idends, and thus project The public against
exhorbilant rates of toll, and the friends of
The bill voted the amendment down.
1t was proposed 10 amend it by declaring
that The money for which the Main Line was
sold should be inviolably appropriated 10 The
extinguishment of so much of the Stale debt,
and the friends OF the bill voled the amend
ment down.
1t was proposed to amend it by reserving
TO the Stale The right, in case of violation Of
the charter Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, TO take possession of this road and
the Main Line, and the friends of the bill vo-
led the amendment down.
1t was proposed 10 indemnify The COM
monweallh agains, all suits for damages by
injured transporers and others, after the Main
Line was sold, and the friends OF the bill vo-
led the amendment down.
1t was proposed 10 amend it by providing
that none but Pennsylvanians should hold
Offices in the Company, hoping thereby to
project the people against grasping and ava.
rcious foreigners, and the friends Of the bill
! voted the amendment down.
These are few among many such judi.
oious amendments which were defeated by
The men who passed this bill, and ask, in
all seriousness, what can the people expect
from majority that will thus trample upon
their rights, and barter them away TO man.

music teachers and fashionable callers are IN

DO II Yourselves, Boys.

Why ask the teacher or some classm ate 10
solve that problem 7 Do il yourselves. You
might as well letlhem eat your dinners as do
your SUMS for you. Ii is in studying as in
eating; he that does it gets the benefit, and
not he that sees il done. In almost any school
would give more for what the teacher learns,
simply because The teacher is compelled to
solve all the hard problems for them, and
answer the questions for The lazy boys. Do
not ask him to parse all the difficult words or
assist you in the performance OF any Of your
duties. Do it yourselves. Never mind tho
they look dark as Egypt. Dom! ask even
hint from anybody. Try again. Every trial
increases your ability, and you will finally
succeed by din of The very wisdom aud
strength gained in this effort, even though at
first the problem was beyond your skill. 1t
is the study and not The answer that rewards
your pains. Look at that boy who succeeded
after six hours of hard study, perhaps. How
is lit up with proud Joy as he marches 10 his
class. He reads like conqueror, and well
he may. His poor weak schoolmate, who
gave up that same problem after the first
faint trial, row looks up 10 him with some
thing OF wonder as superior. The prob
lem lies there, great gulf between those
boys who stood yesterday side by side. They
will never stand together as equals again
The boy that did it for himself has taken a
stride upwards, and, what is better still, gain
ed the strength of greater ones. The boy
who waited 10 see Others do i, has lost both
strength and courage, and is already looking
for some excuse 10 give up school and study
forever.

Question Of Precedence with Ladies.

DR.. Baird, in his late lectures, at St. Louts,
related an amusing anecdote of Napoleon te
Grand, and the ladies' who attended his first
grand reception ball at the Tuileries. The
old nobility had departed, and everything
was new. The invited guests were mostly
military officers and their wives. Some two
thousand ladies' were present. When supper
time came, they of course took precedence
of the gentlemen. A question arose who
had the right to 60 first. The great dining
room hall was ,bfown open, admitting them,
and the doors were then closed, and the
officers Of The palace found 1t impossible
10 open Them. TIE dispute among the. Ia.
dies grew warm. One lady said the right
was hers, as her husband was great gen.
eral; but she soon found that others MAIN
tanned, on one ground or the other, that their
claims were greater. Meanwhile The officers
could not get the doors open, and, in consler-
nation, one of them FASTENED TO the first
consul, and asked him how they should set
tie the question of precedence. "O." says
Bonaparle, "nolhing is easier; tell them the
oldest is 10 so first" The officer reported
10 the ladies the first consul's decision, and
Instantly they all fell back This gave The
officers an opportunity 10 gel the doors open,
when, 10 their astonishment, none of the
ladies were willing 10 so FIRST After stand
ing in that ridiculous position for moalni,
they began 10 laugh heartily at their own
folly, and oil marched into the dining.loom

of the lhousand-and. one stories they tell in
