w. NJ. Brown, MAYOR: SIR beg leave
to hand herewith a communication, made
to me, at my request, by Major Foster,
City Engineer, who was employed on the
old Henderson and Nashville railroad,
which gives an Approximate statement of
the value of the road bed, grading, etc
Mai. Foster is capable from his opportuni-
ties of making the most reliable estimate
of the value of the work done on the road
You will perceive that Mai. Foster esti-
mates the value of work done, road bed,
etc. at $4,000. This work has been
capitalized at 100000 100000 of this
capital stock will be used in the purchase
Of the old road and settling outstanding
claims, and 100000, being twenty per
cent on the remaining capital stock of
81 100000, will be divided among the new
stockholders. In this way You will see
that, for the subscription of 100000 by
the city, she receives stock TO that amount
with twenty per cent added, which will
give the city 100000 Of stock in the
Evansville, Henderson and Nashville rail
road company.
Mai. Fosters letter shows the distances OF
the different divisions, and the whole dis
lance from Nashville 20 Henderson on the
Ohio river. ] am, very respectfully,

OF foreign goods the same paper says

The demand for foreign goods has been little
more active during the last few days although
there Is no speculative excitement. and sales are
chiefly in moderate lots 10 complete assortments.
A few particular styles Of Ine dress goods that
are ip comparatively limited supply. are sold At
a small advance, but generally prices show no
improvement. Black bOmbazines are IN good
demand and popular makes are readily placed
at frm rates; fine black and oolOred alpaeas. and
Inouseine de laines, move little more freely
black and colOred silks OF the better qualities
sell at fair prices; good styles Of printed lawns
and fine ginghams are without important change;
linen goods for mems wear continue in good re
quest: lne cloths and eassimeres are more firmly
held and moderate sales are effected at prices
which could not have been realized earlier IN the
season although there Is yet no positive advance
above the recent asking rates. The auction
sales of the week have been literally supplied
with the various British and continental pro-
duetioDs, and prices for seasonable goods on the
whole have been well sustained,

walnut, and all the hard and soft wood, in
your State, and in the vicinity Of the city,
will be manufactured into every article Of
utility for the house and the field. Nash
vile, with the facilities supplied by this
road, with her natural advantages, will
become great manufacturing metropolis
for the whole South and Southwest, and
her population and wealth increased
within few years, when the proposed sub
scription will be esteemed light and small.
The value of the stock taken will be more
than the amount paid By the city in her
bonds. Surely the people of Nashville
never were called to decide question Of
greater importance or more vital to her in
terests and future prosperity.
The great Importance and value of this
road TO your city, and It's just appreciation
by many of the citizens with whom l have
had the pleasure to meet, encouraging me
to submit the proposition, and do so with
the confident hope that il will meet the

Isaac-Your article on frogs is received.
1t made me laff like lightning.
Your idea that frogs might be increas-
ed by propagashun, is bully.
Your idea that "frogs was discovered
by Kristopher Columbus, in the year 1892"
had slipped my memory.
Yu also say that frogs grow more bob
tailed as they grow older" This is too
good to be entirely lost.
Noah-We very humbly dekline your
essa on the food.
Your remarks might possibly lead one
more man to think as you do, and we don't
want our columns to be held responsible
for increasing the number of phools.
The world has already got more phools

There amt no doubt in mi mind but that
the food was perfect success, and have
thought that another just such an one
would pay well now in some sections Of the
country.

WHEN AND WHERE DOES THE DAY BE-
GiN?-As we travel eastward the day be-
gins earlier; near the equator starisht
appears an hour earlier for each thousand
miles going east. When it is sunrise in
New York, the people of Europe have had
sunlight for many hours, and the Califor-
mans are still in their beds dreaming. Ev-
identity the day has beginning at the east
ward. But how far and where? What arc
the people who first see the light of Monday
morning?
1t is the sun which first brings day :;
where does he first bring Monday? If we
could travel with him we might find out.
Let US suppose the case. We will take an
early start; ut sunrise on Sunday morn
ing, with the sun just at the point of peep
ing over the horizon behind us, we travel
westward. as We go the people give us a
Sunday greeting we bring Sunday with
us to Pittsburg, st. Louis, Salt Lake City,
San Francisco. At San Francisco our
faithful chronometer informs us that we
have been on the tramp about five hours
Bat we started on Sunday morning and it
is Sunday morning still. We 20 on still
on Sunday morning. Will this Sunday
morning ever end? The quiet Pacific
knows very little of Sunday or any other
day, and our question scarcely receives an
echo of reply. When we get to Yokohama,
in japan, or Shanghai, in China, we search
for some wide awake yankee in the early
morning, and we are told for the first time
that Monday has come. Everywhere now
we bring Monday, and in twenty-four
hours by the chronometer, after starting,
we are in New York again, and find the
merchants taking down their shutters, and
the Monday newspapers telling us what
has happened during our absence.-Scien-

Power OF WOMAN IN TURKEY.-A man
meeting woman in tho street turns his
head from her as if it were forbidden to
look on her. They seem to detest an i'm
pudent woman, to shun and avoid her.
Any one, therefore. among the Christians,
who may have discussions or alterations
with the Turks, if he has woman Of spir-
it, or virago for wife, sets her to reyile
and brow-beat them, and by these means
not unfrequently gains his point. The
highest disgrace and shame would attend
Turk who should rashly lift his hand
against woman all he can venture to
do is to treat her with harsh and con-
temptuous words, or to march of. The
sex lay such stress on this privilege, that
they arc apt frequently to indulge their
passions to excess, to be most unreasona-
bic in their claims, and violent and irreg.
ular in tho pursuit Of them. They will
importune, tease and insult judge on the
bench, or even the vizier at bis divan !;
the officers Of justice do not know how to
resent their turbulence, and it il a general
observation that, to get rid Of them, they
often let them gain their cause.-Sr Geo
Larpenfs Turkey.

ANOTHER BIsHoP.-The conservation Of
the Rev. II. II. Neely, as Bishop of Maine,
took place in Trinity Chapel, New York, on
the Feast Of the Conversion of St. Paul,
Jan. 25th.
The procession, consisting Of over hun
dred choristers, clergy, and bishops, in sur
plices and robes, entered the Church chant
ing the Saith Psalm.
The service was fully choral, and, with
one exception-the centennial service at St.
Pauls, the grandest ever held in the city Of
New York.
Bishop Neely is considered one of the
leading High Churchmen Of the country,
and with the earnest cork for whom this
class of Churchmen are noted, both in this
country and England, will kindle many a
light in the dark places Of Maine.-Ex.

Horace Greeley lectured in New York
last week, his theme being, Westward Of
the Mississippi" Speaking Of Mormonism
he said he had met in Utah the son of one
! who had once been a wealthy mcrchant in
New York, and an Alderman, when that
position was not synonymous with robber.
The son was not as wealthy as the father
had been. He had two wives, nevertheless,
and one of them was the daughter of the
other The affair was looked upon quite
as a matter of course by the saints, and, he
supposed worked as we'll as the three cor
nered affair could be expected to behave
itself, until he went home one day, and
found the young one had disappeared. She
had not been heard of when he 1.-THE lee
turerl had left, nor did he presume he had
since recovered her. She preferred, no
doubt, the favors which were not divided
with her mother. He had also been among
the bishops, met several not over happy in
their marital relations, one who has among
his wives two of his nieces another whose
two wives he was modest) never spoke to
each other on any occasion, which made
the house rather awkward to visitors
" Only imagine to yourself" said the
lecturer, "a family of twelve children, with
four or five mothers to bring them up in one
house, and you have sa fair start for hell
upon earth as you can well imagine. Ten
years in such purgatory would make a
man long for the sound of Gabriers trum-
pet.h

The River OF Time.
BY B. =. TAILOR.

Oh, wonderful stream is that River Of TINE,
AZ 1t runs through the realm OF tears,
WIN lauitless rhythm and musical rhyme.
Ana broader sweep and surge sublime,
Az 1t blends with the Ocean OF Years.
How the winters are drifting, like flakes of snow
Ana thesummers, like buds between,
And the ear in the sheaf-so they come and
they go
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and flow,
As it glides in the shadow and sheen
There's magical ISLE ur the River of Time.
"here the sotest OF airs are playing;
There's coudless sky and tropical cline,
Ana song as sweet as a yesper chime,
Anu the June with the roses is staying.
And the name of the Isle Is LONG AGO.
Ana We bury our treasures there;
Ihere are brows OF beauty and bosoms of snow
There are heaps of dust, but we LOVE them sol
There arc trinkets and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of song that nobody sings,
And part OF an infants prayer;
Thefe's lutte unswept, and harp without
strings,
There are 6r~Een vows, and pieces of rings,
Aud the garments that she used to wear.
There are hands that are waved when tho fairy
shore
By the Mirage is lifted in air;
And we hear through the turbulent roar
Sweet voices we heard, in the days gone before,
When the wind down the river is fair.
Oh, remembered for aye, be the blessed Isle.
All the day Of cur lite till night
When the evening comes with its beautiful smile
And our eyes are closing to sumber awhile
May that "Grecnwood" Of Soul be in sight!

We believe the people are capable of
governing themselves.
We believe confederation Of States
union Of Kingdoms, where every man is
IA monarch, to be the best plan of govern
for in that confederation the people speak
God speaks
We believe in giving every State of the
Union, the absolute right to regulate it's own
afiairs-to say who shall vote and who shall
not-what rates Of interest, taxation, &C.,
it will adopt, and who shall be citizens as
long as such State shall give aid to her sis
ter States, and give her voice for the good
of the Union!
And we believe it is not the business of
one State to meddle with the affairs Of an
onther State, for each State is a government
by and of itself!
We believe in equal taxation!
We believe in economy in public affairs !!
We believe in electing statesmen-men
Of broad and comprehensive views to high
positions, and in leaving in obscurity those
who are but clowns, robbers or simply low
wits !!
We believe white men sho'd govern white
men-that white men should not be COM
PEELED to support negroes!
That the rich should pay taxes on their
millions of United States Bonds now exempt
from taxation, at the same rate the poor
man is taxed for his cow, his horse, and his
earnings!
We believe in God-in Gods religion
in broad and liberal views in national mat
ters-in Democracy.
We do not believe in the religion which
stirs up hate, strife and discord.
We do not believe in teaching States and
people of common brotherhood to hate
and war upon each other.
We do not believe in Congressional in
reference with the rights of States.
We do not believe it right, constitutional
or Just to make United States Bonds exempt
from taxation and make poor men who
have taxes to pay support the rich ones
who do not.
This country was once Democratic.
1t was ruled by wise men.
1t was counseled by statesmen and not
by clowns and reckless adventurers.
1t grew to prosperity under Democratic
administrations successfully and success
fully administered.
1t became a great nation Of freemen-a
land where millions of people met on the
level, and where the poor came to escape
taxation-the poor to find home-the ig-
norant to he educated-the man Of thought
to enjoy the constitutional right to think
and speak as he pleased.
And this was, and is, and always has been
Democracy.

Jennie June writes sensibly ON some
points, but particularly on the matter Of
short dresses. She says it is the best thing
that has appeared since the advent of thick
walking boots. The lifting up of the
dresses out of the dirt of the street was a
great improvement on the old habits Of
trailing in the mire; but even this is al
ways found Objectionable, no matter by
what agency effected. The dress is mora
or less injured by being constantly fes-
toons1 and is very liable to be torn or de-
faced. The short gored dress not only
saves all this trouble, but large amount
of material, is neater, and in our eyes more
becoming.

BIsculr A LUXURY FOR ALL.-The popu-
lar notion that people suffering from dys-
pepsia or predisposed to that disease, sho'd
not eat biscuit, has grown out Of the fact
that the common Saleratus has been used
in the making of such biscuit. And it was
right; the article is mischievous. But
light and healthy biscuit, such as dyspeptic
people may eat with impunity and with
positive benefit, are made from D. B. De
Land 4 Co.'s Best Chemical Saleratus.-
PHYSICIANS admit this.

The new Internal Revenue law requires
the assessments for the tax on incomes to
be made in March, instead of May. The
Internal Revenue Bureau is accordingly
sending instructions to the Assessors to
proceed Immediately with the assessments.
The new law provides that all incomes
above one thousand dollars shall be taxed
at the uniform rate of five per cent.-the
81 900 being exempt.
