A SIGN OF The TTMEs.-Of the rival routes
between Concord, N. H., and Chicago, Ill.,,
distance Of ten hundred and ffty.two miles,
one boasts over the other of being ten min
utes shortest. This is fair specimen of
American character; it is true sign of the
times; key to much that is strange and
mysterious in our financial operations. What
amount of money has been sunk in constructs
ing these rival routes What amount is lost
daily in running lightning trains on these
routess And what for To save ten min
utes time to go a thousand miles quicker than
your neighbor. And what is gained by saw
ing these ten minutess Nothing absolutely
nothing but just the name. And what is
lost All that is worth reckoning in the
liability of our financial institutions, the
permanency of our mercantile establishments,
and the general credit of our country. 70
construct rival routes all over our country, an
lnordinate drain has been made on our capi-
tai, funds have been sunk in this form of ma
tional improvement, credit has been stretched
till every fibre of confidence is broken, and
the whole falls. And all this to save ten
minutes in going thousand miles VIII it
pays Is it worth what has cost THE failure
OF credit, the corruption of morals, and the
introduction OF habits of general extrava-
gance In our opinion, the railroad bill now
lying before us, announcing ten minutes the
shortest route between Concord and Chicago.
furnishes key to American character which
will solve many of our financial puzzles. 1t
eylnces disposition to do a thing quicker
than anybody else, no matter at what ex.
pense of money or credit, and however little
advantage may be gained from it. The result
is, we have gone to ruin oftener and quicker
than any other race under Heaven. We have

Mrs. Partington's Ike goes to school, and
the Saturday Evening Gazette publishes the
following. as a specimen of his composition:
The AMERrcAN EAaIB.-This is the great
est bird that ever spread his wings over this
great and glorious country. The place where
he builds his nest is called an eyrie, away up
on the precpices where the foot of man can't
come, though boys might. The eagle is a
terocious fellow, and sits on the top of the
cliffs and looks sharp for plumber. He gets
tired of waiting, and then he starts out IN the
blue expansive heavens, and scars all around
on his opinions over the land and the water,
to see what he can pounce down upon, But
though he is called a very cruel bird, he al
ways preys before eating, just like any good
moral man at tie head of his family. He
eats his victuals raw, which is an unfavorable
haolt, but 1t Is supposed that he eats it SO be-
cause he likes to. He is a very courageous
bird, and will fight like blazes for his young,
and steal chickens wherever he can see them.
de mas been known to carry off young baby
to his nest, which seems to show that eagles
love little children. He is bird Of great tai
ons, and is much respected by birds of the
teathered tribe that are afraid Of him. He is
a great study for the artists, but appears to
best advantage an the ten dollar gold pieces,
ana nifty cent peices, and pretty well on the
dimes, as he sits gathering up his thunder
bolts under him, as if he was in hurry to be
off. He has lately broke out on the new cent,
and seems as if In his hurry he had dropped
all his thunder. The American Eagle is the
patriots hope and the inspiration of Fourth
Of July. He scars the realms of the poets
fancy, and whets his beak on the highest
peak OF the orators imagination. He is in the
mouth OF every politician, so to speak. He is
said by them to stand on the Rocky Noun
tains, and to dip his bill in the Atlantic, while
his tail casts a shadow on the Pacific coast.
This is all CANNON. There never was ono
more than eight feet long from the tip of one
wing to the tip of 'tother. His angry scream
is heard ever so far, and he don't care feather
for anybody. Take him every way, he is an
immense fowl, and his march is over the
mounting wave, with the star spanged ban
ner in his hand, whistling Yankee Doodle.
