How Murat Died.

The sentence of the military commits
sion was read to him with due solemuity.
He listened to it as he would have lis
tened to the cannon of another battle
during his military life without emotion
or bravado. He neither asked for par
don, for delay, nor for appeal. He had
advanced of his own accord toward the
door, as if to accelerate the catastrophe
The door opened on narrow esplau-
ade lying between the towers of the cas-
tie and the QUITE: walls. Twelve soldiers,
with loaded muskots, awaited him there.
The narrow space did not permit him to
stand at sufficient distance to deprive
his death of part of its horror. Murat
in stepping over the threshold of the
chamber found himself face to face with
them. He refused to have his eyes ban.
dsgsd. and looking at the soldiers with
firm and benevolent smile, said " My
friends, do not make me suffer by taking
bad aim. The barrow space compels
you almost to rest the muzzles of your
muskcts on my breast: do not tremble
do not strike me in the face-aim at
my heart-hsre it il.
AS be spoke thus he placed his light
hand upon his heart to indicate the posi-.
tion of his heart. In his left hand he
held small medallion, which contained
10 one focus of love tho image of his wife
and four children, al if he wished thus
to make them witness of his last look.
He fixed his eyes on this portrait and
received the death blow without feeling
it, absorbed in the contemplation of all
he loved on earth. His body, pierced
at so short distance with twelve balls
fell. with his arms open and his face to-
ward the earth, as if still embraciDgthe
kingdom be once possessed, and which
he had come to re-conquer for his tomb
They threw his cloak upon the body

quent to this date, and consequently in-
Guiding the exact time. they say. the
Rutland and Washington Rail Road had
been running, the gross earnings show
S496 440,0l and the net only S49,5lO,-
90 proving that during the limited per-
iod this valuable connection had pro-
gressed the Road had actually run at q
loss
1t is hardly necessary to enlarge fur
ther upon this head, but we proceed at
once 10 the discussion of the other priu-
cipal causo that slightly (9) reduced the
gross receipts, it is this:
Page g. Previous to the opening of
navigation, in 1856, upon Lake Cham.
"plain, arrangements were made for the
transportation of large amount of
Il freight, north and west Of Burlington,
"over this road. But rival road deem
"ed it expedient to take it at less than
"what we considered remunerating prices,
" and therefore that business was lost.
" We believing il unvise and injurious
to the interests OF ony road to 90
business that leaves no profit"
This reasoning would appear plausible
enough, were it not that its fallaoy is com.
pletely exposed in the very last para.
graph Of the Report which says:
"The expenses of operating the Road
would be but slightly increased if its
gross receipts wore brought up to sew
"en hundred thousand dollars year p'
If this is the case, why in the name Of
common sense is rival road allowed at
any price to deprive tho Rutland Of
the large amount of freight it had made
arrangements to transport. when accord
ing to this assertion it would have been
nearly all clear proft2 The rival road
alluded to, is doubtless the Vermont
Central, and there seems TO be deter
mination on the part of the Trustees, in
both their Reports. to place this road in
an antagonstic position which nothing
in ats reports can be found to substanti-
ate May not the clue to this mystery
DO found in the statement made by the
Trustees in their first Report respecting
a certain contract between the Ogdens-
burgh, Vt Central and Northern Nv.
I'll line of Roads shat excluded
road to which the VI. Central had hith
erto been feeder, and with which Road
the Rutland is now SO intimately con.
nocted ? This suggestion is, however,
irrelative TO the matter in hand-it is q
mere sido issue upon which no opinion is,
or need be expressed
In discussing the income of the Road I,
as shown BY the last Report, and which,
in the absence CT the necessary detsils,
has been heretofore csrsorily treated, it
only remains to exhibit the exact gain or
loss of each and every month of the fif-
teen, compared with the same month Of
the previous year. This fortunately can
be done through the assistance of the
very able Report of the Railroad Com
missioner for the State of Vermont, the
Hon. CHARLES Linsley, and is shows as
follows:

History of Ocean Navigation.

Lieutenant Maury, in late lecture,
said that, in the carly navigation of the
Atlantic ocean, the mariner had no
guide to shape his course, but, like the
traveller over the untroddep territory of
now country, he was led by nircum-
stances. Columbus in his voyage Of
discovery sailed towards the coast of
Africa, then changed TO due course
west towards the Bahama Islands. If
be had sailed at any other season, he
would have encountered storms and
ary one gale occurs as often as every six
days, ascertnincd by late observations
But if Columbus had not discovered
America it must inevitably have been
discovered by outward bound vessels to
India, being driven by these winds to the
coast Of Brazil, as some afterwards were.
Commerce followed this southerly di-
rectiun until the war of Independence,
so that Charleston, South Carolina, was
the halfway house from the ports of
Europe to those of New York and Now
England The Caroinas imported
three times as much as New York, and
their exports were three times as much
as those Of New England and four
times as great as those of New York.
The course was south the due west, and
then north again. 10 Charleston, and
the ports of the West Indies, vessels
were accustomed to winter on their voy.
ages to more northern ports.
The Gulf Stream was discovered as
early as 1912, but was not considered of
much Importance in navigation, until
DR.. Franklin noticed the extraordinary
temperature of its water. For a long
period after this it's waters were suppo-
sed to run in the same channel; and it
wa. thought that the longitude could bs
ascortained in arriving at, or departing
from it. DR.. franklin and Captain
Folger, another American then in Eng
land, constructed chart of the ocean,
with the Gulf Stream, which remained
as ,he chart until my recollection. The
chronometer was not known in those
days. These invaluable instruments
now put out their long feelers and warn
the mariner of danger. In oil depart
ments OF knowledge nothing new comes
before it is wanted. 1t is so in smaller
as we'll as in greater matters. OF men,
how often it is said they are the men for
the occasions in which they are called
to act The chronomg:er and tha quad.
rant were the forcruuners of navigation
by steam. Without the former we could
not have had the latter. The average
speed of sailing vessels was only from
two to three miles an hour; aud when
you consider the circuitous routes they
took, instead Of the direct course they
now pursue, YOU csn see that the
effect Of DR.. Frankln's discovery was
very great upon commerce At the
earlier stage Of navigation, Charleston
was midway port; now it ia an out
side station, and New York and Boston
ars midway. ports bctween Charleston
aud Europe
