RAILROAD CITIEs.-Echo City appears
to have been conferred upon as the place
for winter quarters, or rs the winter
terminus Of the Union Pacific Railroad.
From a gentleman just in from Echo,
we learn that whisky and grogshops are
springing up as if by magic all over
Echo Canyon, but more particularly at
Echo City. The gamblers and "fallon
sisters are coming there in all sorts of
c%onveyances, from = w%heelbarrow to q
stage coach. The magic city Of Bear
River will soon be d%epopulated, many
have already pulled up stakes and left
for the "new sensation" at Echo, whore
they will remain until the railroad again
passes them. Old tents, brush shsnties
and more ]pretentious structures of slabs
are going up rapidly, and q large barn
has been rented by "a lady" to start q
dance hall. In less than two weeks,
we may expect to hear from Echo City

SoME years ago a young man in Berlin
assisted an old man who had slipped on the
pavement. A few days back ne was sur
prised by receiving $4,000, left him by the
person whom he had so slightly benefited
Eastern exchange.
We knew a lad who, in 1885, was en-
ployed on n canal boat, in Pennsylva-
mia, at twenty-five cents q day, every
farthiug of which went to support n
poor but affectionate widowed mother,
and who one day saved the life Of the
Captain Of the boat from drowning, by
casting him q rope line in a large, deep
lock in the Schuykill River, and risk
ing his own little life by pushing the
rope deep under the water, so that the
drowning man could catch it, and ave
himself from n watery grave. After
the Captains miraculous rescue, the
boat laid up for half a day-and whom
the Captain settled the wages Of the
poor orphan lad, he deducted half n
days wages because the boat was not
running! There is a great difference
in people in this world but people only
find it out by experience.

RAILROAD NEAR SALT LAKE.-The Salt
Lake Telegraph, after reviewing the sit
uation and prospects of the two ends of
the Pacific Railroad, admits that the
Central Pacific has an excellent show
for reaching Ogden City as o o as the
Union Pacific. Ogden City is 80 miles
cas-. of Monument Point, or the head Of
Salt Lake. By the first of January the
Central will be graded to the latter
point, and its track will not be long be-
hind the graders. The Union Pacific is
delayed by snow and frost in Echo and
Weber Canyons, from 90 to 1872 miles
east Of the lake. The company is lay
ing a temporary track around the most
d'iheult places in these localities, and
with its aid, if there is not too much
snow may ge. ahead but it is improb-
ao'e 'n"' this track will be accepted by
the Government Commissioners, and if
it is not, the Central folks, who com.
plete their work as they go, and have
easy ground and favorable weather. will,
reach Ogden City FIRST, rs they expse,
to do.

COMPULSORY EpucAr1oN.

- N" "A
This subject was thu topic of an inter.
estiug paper recently read Il the meet.
ing of the Western Social Science Con-
vention. The number Of children who
fail to attend school in those States
where the most extensive provision has
been made tor general education is as
serted to be very large. The following
statistics were quoted as proof Of the as
sertion. In 1866, the average attend
ance at both the winter and summer
schools of Maine was but A per cent,
ofthe whole number Of children between
the ages Of four years and twenty. In
Vermont, during the school year Of
1866, there was an average attendance
Of so per cent. In New Hampshire, in
1862, Of 6s per cent. In Connecticut,
in 1862, Of Al per cent, Of children be-
tween four and sixteen. In Rhode
Island, in 1868, of Al per cent, of chill
dren under fifteen. In Pennsylvania, in
1866, Of &C per cent, Of children of the
usual school ages. In New York, during
1866, there was n total attendance of CT
and $40 per cent, of children of school
ages, leaving q nou attendance Of 80 and
1-lO. In Illinois, during 1854, there
was a non-attendance Of only IS
per ceut.; in Indiana, during 1864,
of 80 per cont; in Ohio, during
lsG4-5, of % per cent; in Wisconsin,
during 1865, of "a per cent; in Iowa,
during 1865, Of SO per cent; in Mime
sofa, during 1865, of AZ per cent; in
Kansas, during 1865, of AZ per cent; in
California, during 1866, of "a per cent;
in the Southern States the percentage
Of non-attendance was generally high
er. West Virginia, in 1865, exhibited
IS per cent; Kentucky, in 1865, 81 per
cent; North Carolina, in 1860, 55 per
cent; Georgia, 1859, &c per cent; in
Louisiana, in 1857, the Parish Treasur-
ers reported an attendance Of enc third
Of the educsble youth Of the State upon
the public schools. 1t was estimated in
1856 that there were 1000, 900 of chill
dren in the United States not attending
the public schools, while the number in
attendance was 1900, 900. Arguments
have been advanced on both sides of
the question, whether the want Of edu-
cation is the direct cause Of crime. Sir
Archibald Allison and DR.. Draper assert
that the increase Of educational facili-
ties has increased crime. The weight
of the evidence, however, seems to dis
prove the assertions Of the above writ
ers, and the statistics taken in France,
Prussia and the United States show that
the spread of schools has been followed
by the diminution Of crime, and this is
given as a reason for making education
compulsory.

FATAL ArrRAY BErwxxS CITIZENS AND
MILITIA AT MAGGIR's CREEx.-A corre-
spondent of the Bulletin, writing from
Wiunemucca, says:
At Palmer L Kellam's ranch, n de-
tachment Of recruits, under Lieutenant
Boyd, en- route from the States to Camp
Halleck, mutinisd and attempted to cap
ture the premises, and being repulsed,
attempted to burn hay and things gen.
orally. They fred snto the house
through the windows, but were driven
back by some citizens inside. One SOL
dier was killed and several wounded.
The officer in charge had no control
over his men, but they sobered down
towards morning and then moved up
stream with their dead and wounded,
Mono Of the citizens about the place
were hurt. The military in this part Of
Nevada-say Camp, McDermit, Scott
and Halleck-is useless, its occupation
is gone, except to destroy rstions for
the benefit of contractors and suffers.
The operations Of General Crook 10 the
north, and the tracklayers on the south
sido Of the savage range, have humbled
the Snakes, Piutes, Bannocks and Sho-
shoues, and they accept the new order
Of things as final.

A MANS ISDUcEMENT TO MARRY.-Al-
though enlightened men generally do
not stop to think about the reason why
they have married, aud continue to
maintain the family union, if they will
look at the subject closely they will find
it is a longing for happiness {; to build
for themselves o home in the bosom of
which they may settle down and hide
from the deceit, cold-heartcdncss and
ceremony Of the world where nothing
but love enters, where there is no strife,
no jealousies, heart-bnrnings, envy or
selfshness ; nobody to cheat, defame or
deceive them, but all is love and unity.

PRoaEcTs OF WESTERN NEVADA
Until recently it has been believed that
none other than the mines Of the great
Comstock lode would pay even the ex-
penses Of their working, and the en-
sountering Of q barren belt by nearly
all Of the principal companies located
upon that famous ledge, weakened the
confidence in its permauoney and cast o
gloom over mining enterprises in that
locality. But the recent rich strikes in
the Yellow Jacket mine, in its 800 and
900-foot levels, has had the tendency Of
dis2clling that gloom and renewing the
confidence formerly Of the inexhsustible
wealth Of the Comstock.-Belmon CHAM
