THE only speech JEFF. Davis has made
during his sojourn in Canada, was de
livered at Niagara on the occasion Of a
serenade, and is reported as follows !:
"Gentlemen: 1 thank you sincerely for
the honor you have this evening shown
to me; 1t shows that true British man
hood to which misfortune is always at
tractive. May peace and prosperity be
forever the blessings of,Canada, for
she has been the asylum for many of
my friends, and is now an asylum to
myself. hope that Canada may for
ever remain part of the British EN-
pire, and God bless you all, and the
British flag never cease to wave over
you." There arc many Canadians,
we opine, who will not join him in the
hope" expressed in the last sentence
OF this remarkably short speech. They
are hoping and waiting for the time
when a flag that now represents high
er and nobler freedom than the Union
Jack, shall wave over them-the banner
Of the American Union. -"-

THIS is the way the Pacific Railroad
is laid at the rate of more than mile a
day: Iron, ties, &C., for one mile, are
sent in train as near the end of the
track as It can get, and unloaded at the
side of the railsi the ties are scattered
along by teams, while gangs of men
place and level them; then small, low
cars are loaded with rails, spikes, and
chairs, and pushed to the end Of the
last rail, when two rails are seized and
run off at the end and dropped in their
places; as they fall others guage them
TO keep them nt the proper width, while
another drops spikes at the cross!tiesI
the little car goes on and the spike
drivers follow up mailing them down.
Then come the track straighteners and
the ballast men, making in all a pro-
cession of a mile. long, all trained to
know their special duty, and to do 1t
with a will and promptness that
knows no failure or delay,

much of 1t, unusually good. Even
while the war was raging, and the tu-
ture of the country was unsettled,
while we had so few friends among the
more intelligent classes, and SO much
effort was made by Misrepresentation
and exaggeration, to keep the humber
classes from taking up their lot with
us, they could not be kept at home, but
came In ship loads to swell the produc-
tive wealth of the great republic. And
now, when the conflict Of arms Is set
tied, and the government is vindicated
and strengthed, and the country Is re-
lieved from the institution that was a
curse at home and a reproach abroad,
the laboring men of Europe are appre-
ciating more and more, the advantages
which America offers to them, above
any that they, can find at home. The
inducements Insecure and rewarded la
bor, OF free homesteads and equal per-
sonal and political rights are too strong
for the attachments of birth and father
land. --.-

People Fun OF Little Hates and Mean
Prejudices.


From the BelO1ovfd Magazine.
It Is the Little Halter, after all, who
is the meanest ofthe mean, the vilest of
the vile, the crawlingest of the crawl
ersl He is all horrible. He is bad
from the tip ofhis nose to the end of his
tail. He has no good qualities. He
cogs, he lies, he bears false witness, he
wriggles and ramps, he crawls upon
his belly in the sand, covering your
boots with slime. till he Is strong enough
to raise himself on his hinder end,
when he shakes his rattle and spits
forth his poison. And he hates always.
His hatred never dies. He will malign
your children before they are born, and
libel you after you are dead. He will
whisper that you committed larceny
when you were two years old, and that
you had an ancestor who was hanged
for coming base money in the reign of
Edward Nv. He goes on hating until
his hair is white and his limbs are
paralyzed, and II you are SO fortunate
as to survive him, you will find that he
has lefLyou an insult in the preamble
to his will. He would look out of his
hearse and curse you on his way to
Kensal Green If he could. AS 1t is, you
have the consolation of knowing that
he Is hating you down below, in the
birthstone, as virulently as ever. Little
Haters may be divided into twelve
principal classes. l. People to whom
SVu nave Ieut tLuOu0yt '"uo aLo toO uI5-
honest or too mean TO pay it, and who
hate you for having lent it. 2. People
whom you have helped, not pecuni-
arily, but bya timely word or letter
when they were obscure and poverty
stricken, and who hate you when they
have become, prosperous because you
knew them when they were in the mud.
8. People who imagine that the women
they know like you better than they
like them. 4. People who have written
little poems, and whose poems you have
refused to purchase, to read or to criti-
else. These are among the most impla-
cable of all little haters. s. People
whom you have detected and exposed
as arrant humbugs. 6. People who
are uneasily aware that your wife
doesn't like them. Z. People about
verbal blunder known as good things
The little hater never forgives joke at
his expense. 8. People with whom you
have refused to dine, knowing as you
do that their wine Is bad, their melted
butter execrable, and that their guests
are bores. 9. People who have failed
in some very little enterprise, while you
have succeeded in some large under
taking of an analogous nature. 10.
People on whose toes you have acci-
dentally trodden, or the "gathers" of
whose skirts (these are lady haters) you
have accidentally torn. IL. People who
are aware that their children are ugly
and aboninable little nuisances, and
know we'll that you don't like them,
and so hate you. IL. People about
whom you know too much. Stay,
there shall be bakers dozen. In the
thirteenth and most malignant cate
CORY class the people who don't know
you at all. They hate you with a VEN

she appeared to me. As one thinks OF

Information Wanted.

We wish our Quincy street neighbor
would advise the public with regard to
the purport of that petition, now cir
culating among the Radical brethren
in this city, asking the removal of Fed
cral officers in this State, and the rein
statement of the former incumbents.
What inducements do you hold out to
the President What promises for the
future do you makef Do you swear as
vigorously and as truthfully as you did
last Spring, that you and yours are the
Simon pure Johnsonites Of this region
And do you expect, in case of success,
TO betray the President rs disgracefully
rs you did beforef Or are you honestly
sorry for having, like the 'Prodigal son,
associated with the vicious, and them
that deal in swinoi Or do you mere
Jy want to return for the sake
of the fatted calf, the robe,
and the ringi Let your confession Of
treason to your President be made sin
open Court" Tell us all about it-why
you went, why you wish to return, and
how you will behave if JOHNSON will
"give yon back your jewels" Let the
public see that whining for crumbs, and
insensibility to kicks, are not solely Ca
nine characteristics.
