MAHoNE PRAISED,

The excuse of the railroad companies
for discriminating between different To-
calties Is, that the cost of handling
freight Is as great to them where it is
carried asliOrt as where 1t is carried Il
longer distas1ce As far as it goes the
reason is good one, but it goes a very
little way SO far from warranting the
company in doubling. trcbling. or. as in
the case of the New Jersey mon ,poly.
qladruplng its charges on freights car
ried for short distances, the simple adj
ditional cost of haild.Ing should be adj
ded to uniform ch urge per ton per
mile, and then, while the companies
would be paid for allthe handling, they
would deal with their customers alike.
The Virginia and Tennessee Railroad
Company, now under the management
Of Gen. Mahone, an accomplished engi-l
neer aud economist, have adopted this
plan, thus described in their la It annual
report. ain the freight tariff, he say S,
'we have adopted uniform system;
we have charged. as nearly as possible,
the actual cost for receiving, weighing,
and delivering freight, and this is ap
plicable to all distances, to wit: If 4
ton of freight is received at Lynchburg.
one dollar per ton, or five cents per
hundred pounds, is charged for the re-
ception, handling, and delivering. The
same rate per ton per mile is theu
charged for its transportation. whether
it goes len miles or the entire leng til of
the road. y" There is simple Justice IN
this impartial dealing with the commu-
nifty. The regulation which the inter
est OF the business public requires Con-
gress to impose upon this branch of rail-
road Sprviap is nnraIy tn romnal each
company, by law, to make its rates
uniform, impartial, and without dis
crmination, charging at every station
the same price for receiving and de-
livering goods, aud the same price per
ton per mile for distances carried,
whether more or less. We believe this
would effect business changes through
out the country that would prove inthe
highest degree beneficial to the public,
and that, instead of injuring, it would
enhance the value of railroad property.

AUTUMN WORK ON THE FARM.


1t is of no use to write of what should
be done at this finest season Of the year,
when it is past; therefore, 1t may be
well to think of the great advantages
the American Farmer possesses over ag-
ricultursts in other countries, and it Is
hoped, many may look forward till next
Spring. and see what can be done be-
fore Winter commences. to prevent the
general ackwardness offarming oper-
ations which prevailed last April, May
and June.
The grain harvest is so late in the
northern part OF Europe, and the wealth
er afterw;lrd so precarious, there Il lit
tie chance to do much there, yet no OPP
portunitv is allowed to escape, and the
consequence of the farmers pcrsever-
auce and awatchfulness is the making
such preparations for spring planting,
that the work of the next year IS eX-
pedited to Such degree as 70 give leis-
ure for the thorough performance of
every operation. Directly the grain is
taken off the land, the pillow goes to

object in cultivation is to move the soil

1.-THE RELIGION OF HUMANITY

EDINBuRG REVIEW. for April.-Con-
tents: ThePhilosophy of Anguste Com
te; Western China; the Monks of the
West; Technical and Scientific Eduea-
ton: BunSen's Memoirs; the Irish A
broad; the French in India; the Disrae-
Ii ministry.
The article on Comte is fairly and
ably written. The writer seems to
have borrowed most of his arguments
from the Duke of Argyle's ''Reign of
Law" but Is entitled to credit for the
method and clearness with which these
arguments are presented. He may
clatm, besides. some valuable reflections
of his own. We gather from his brief
summation of the latest speculations of
theistic philosophy that modern science
has reached the conclusion. which must
have occurred to Every close thinker,
that matter and spirit are but modes of
the same eternal and indistructible be-
ing. To put it In the writer's own lam
o. lage, ..rhe farther modern science
carries us. tlR more do we lose hold of
matter and mere ply results, and
pass into the realm Of immateral and
Invisible realities"
But the article is interesting to the
general reader mainly on account ofits
exposition of the absurd ritual of the
Positive Religion, or .'Religion OF HUI
manity," as Comte calls it in his Cate
chism. Nevertheless, these absurdities
may have their uses. As theology has
long since recognised gratefully its OBJ
ligations to skep;icism for its emanci-
patton from superstition and priestcraft,
so we may conceive the possibility Of
its future Indebtedness to the ''Religion
of Humanity. When men shall have
ceased the vain profession OF hatred to
the world, as something antagonistic to
and perpetually Mt war with its Divine
Maker, and when they shall come to see
clearly aud to know that matter in its
crutlest firm is in its essence as pure
as the rarest ethers tout OF which, in
deed, tits compounded) then, doubtless,
they will no longer postpone heaven to
remote future and an inconceivable
mode of existence, but set earnestly
aad at once to work to make a heaven
on earth, Gods fOotstool," by practis-
ing the heavenly virtue Of love to God
through love to man. The appropriation
of heaven can never come from ompha-
losophic meditation over the attribute
of the incomprehensible Godhead. ut
only by the practical emulation, in out
door, every day, social and business life,
of Him who did not distlain to call men
his brothers, loved men, was a friend Of
pubicans and sinners, went about con-
tinually doing good to men, and at the
last laid down Ills life for men.
