Rasterl a. . Woman.

tFrom the Atlantic Monthly for April
Ristori the woman, however, is as
unlike Ristori the artist, as her real
character differs from that of Elizabeth
or Medea. If we may credit the asser-
tions of biography and tradition, Mrs.
Siddons was always, though uninten-
tiOnally, more or less of tragedy queen.
She "stabbed the potatoes, astounded
shopkeepers by the majesty with which
she inquired whether material for cloth
ing would wash, and frightened her
dressing-maid by the sepulchral intensity
of her exclamatlons. The awe which
Ristori frequently excites Is confined
entirely to the theatre. Away from It
she Is the most human-and humane
the most simple, the most unaffected
the most sympathetic of women. So
strongly Is the line drawn between reality
and fiction, that In Rlstori's presence It
trionic greatness, though you have q
sense of her power, and you feel persuad-
ed that whatever such woman earnestly
willed would be accomplished. The
large friendliness in Ristori's nature
creates fellow-feeling, making you won
drous kind toward your own personality,
and razing those barriers with which
genius often surrounds ITSELF To excite
love as we'll as admiration Is not always
In the power of greatness. There Is
frequently an intolerance Of manner, an
assertion OF superiority, species of intel
lectual scorn for the dead level of human
.ity, that preclude the possibility Of SYM
pathy. Yet there Is no surer test OF
grandeur of character than readiness to
acknowledge and respect the individual
ity of all Gods creatures. This is the
crowning grace that brings Ristor 60
near to the hearts Of her friends. HeI
social ease makes you wonder how she
can ever be transformed into the classic
statue Of Mira. Rachel was so COM
tours. said her best ffiends-that she
never succeeded In being herself Both
she and 6iddons were first artists, and
then. women. Rlstori Is nrst q woman
and then an artist. I" qr

OFFICE OF THE BOARD PUBLIC

WORKS, COLUMBUS, March s, 1857.
10 the President Of ne Senate,
The following resolution of the Senate
has been submitted TO the Board of Pub
lie Works:
requested To inform the SENATE
list. What Is the value of the bridge across the
Muskingnm g River. known as the upper or"Na-'
ID. Would it be any advantage to the Nation
al Road or tine general travel thereon. especially
bridge9 II SO, what advantages
3D.. Would the purchase OF said bridge, In the
opinion Of tho Board, increase the general rev.
In answer to this resolution the Board
beg leave respectfully to say:
lst That the bridge referred to is old,
having been In use for u period Of nearly
fifty years In u few years ut most the
superstructure will necessarily have to
be renewed. What its value Is we have
not been able fully to satisfy ourselves.
We should, however, hx upon a sum
greatly below the cost Of new work of
the same character.
I'd. The Board are unable to see any
advantage that would result TO the road
from the purchase of the bridge, nor,
indeed, how Its purchase would Increase
the general travel on, either the East or
West end Of the road. a. t.s
3rd BY the purchase OF the bridge, in
the opinion Of the Board, the general
revenue Of the National Road would not
be increased, whilst the expenses would
be augmented to the extent Of the
amount necessary 10 keep the bridge In
repair. AS the ,feyeilue of the road is
now only suffioient TO keep itup along
its entire length, d necessity would arise
for increasing, the rate OF toll at the vari-
Gus gates to meet this new demand upon
Its resources.
Respectfully submitted.

An Eloquent Tribute to the Heroism o
Locomotive Observation-Disclosures Ore
marksblc Courage--A Readable Article


An Eloquent Tribute to the Hsroism OF
marksblc Courage--A Rsadable Article.
President Tuttle, of Wabash College,
contributes to the N. Y. Independent a
very interesting article under the above
heading, from which we take the follow
ing:
1t may he an admission of weakness,
and yet confess to high admiration of
class of men to whom u vast burden of
responsibility in the matter of human life
Is constantly entrusted: l refer to our
railroad engineers. The locomotive i'm
itself Ia q marvel of ingenuity and pow
er. Compact, perfect in form and adap-
tation, Indispensable to the wants of CIV
ilization, 1t Is one of the finest instru-
ments The man who controls these
thirty tons of organized iron which we
call locomotive must secure both self
respect and self-confidence. l have some-
times stood beside the track when a train
has come flying along, and have observed
with boundless admiration the man on
whose vigilance, skill, and pluck the
safety of that train so largely depended.
His left hand on the lever, his right on
the reversing lever--if that be its name
his body bent forward eagerly, and his
eye keenly scrutinizing the track ahead,
lest the tremendous momentum of his
train, meeting with some obstacle, should
dash itself in an instant into horrible
wreck. How, now, can man be weigh
ed down with such responsibility and not
be stronger and more self-reliant man?
Some years ago, with n party, 1t was
my fortune to be on the Erie Railway
when the engineers engaged In general
strike. / sided with the engineers, be-
lieving them to he wr0nged. At the Sus-
quehanna station we found large body
OF engineers, more than / had ever seen
together ut one time. They were not
noisy, nor braggart, nor tlpsy; but then
said, what now believe, that they were
the finest body of operatives ever saw.
Intelligent, bold, strong, each the mana
ger OF such wonderful machine, they
found at least one ardent admirer that
day. .
Some of the most remarkable exhibi-
tions of courage have been made by men
of this class. A few years ago my friend
Osborne, who has driven the locomotive
for the mail train on the Morris & Essex
Railroad for twenty years ut least, with
faultless hithfulness, was once delayed
by snow on the track for several hours,
but received explicit orders from the SUI
perintendent TO "go ahead, for the road
was clear, no other train was on the track.
After satisfying himself that he had not
misunderstood the order, he left the sum-
NIT ON steep down grade, and, In round
ing o sharp curve, came on train that
was ascending the same grade under full
head of steam. In an instant he whistled
down the brakes and reversed his engine.
The noble thing, under such tremend-
Gus strain, as II fully aware Of the dan
ger, obeyed, and threw itself back TO avert

progress as the great champion of hui
man rights. She has given liberty to
four millions Of human beings, let her
treat them like human beings and give
them the liberty of freemenI
"But," says modern democracy, "You
are in favor of negro equality" II that
declaration means, simply, that we are
in favor Of civil or political equality, 1t Is
correct. We believe in the great truth
of the Declaration OF Independence
"That all men are created free and equal
with certain inalienable rights, among
which is the right to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness" and we believe
the only way these rights can be secured
to the individual is to give to him the
power to defend and protect them.
If you mean to say that we are in favor
Of social equality you either misunder-
stand or misrepresent. us. The confer
ring Of civil or political franchises upon
an individual does not necessarily effect,
in any way, his social character. The
negro now has the rights and privilege
of buying his coffee, sugar and tea, from
the same packages, and his muslin,
calico, and silks from the vely same
pieces, and perhaps at the very same time,
that the editor Of the Gazette buys these
articles to feed and clothe himself and
family, and yet he never thought that
this made the negro his social equal =
The negropays his taxes, works the roads,
fights in the army just as the white man
does, and yet no one ever supposed these
things placed them on a social equality,
nor would the right to cast a ballot into
the same box on election day make him
the social equal of the white man any
more than the same act now makes the
poor drunken wretch who is picked up
out of the gutter every year, and carried
to the polls to vote the democratic tick

To OUR BUSINESS MEN.-A runner,
representing one-hOrse Job Printing
Establishment in Cleveland, Is travelling
over the country drumming up Job
Printing. He made visit to this place
q few days ago, and we understand pre-
vailed on several of our business men to
give him their orders. All we have to
say to these men is that they are sending
their work off to an establishment which
they know nothing about, and are pay
ing every cent as much, and i'm some cases
more, than they could get it done for at
home. Besides, in all kindness, we say
that docs not evince good spirit toward
home enterprise. The Advocate Job
Printing Office has lately received new
supply Of the latest and neatest styles of
Job Type and other printing material,
and is now turning out better work than
ever before done in the County. We can
print Just as neat Cards, Letter Heads,
Bill Heads, Circulars Programmes, &C.,
as any City Establishment, and on as
reasonable terms. Let our business men
remember this when they want any job
of Printing done.
The above we take from the Tuscaraw-
as Advocate of last week, and we COM
mend it to the business men of Belmont
County. There seems to be quite dis
position among business men, generally,
to go abroad to get their work done, just
as they do for their goods, forgetting that
they get their money from the nechan-
les and laboring men of their own Coun-
ty. The true policy is to sustain the
men In your midst whose money where
earned, is expended in buying your goods
and wares, for the use Of their families,
residing among you, instead of sending
your money abroad where, In its circula-
ton, you have no possible chance to get
any of it back. The men who. do this
are standing in their own light, and are
not laboring to build up their own COM
munity.
