A GEOGRAPHICAL SURVEY.
Very fair and full of promise
Law the island of st. Inomasi
Ocean o'er its reefs and bars
Hid its elemental scars;
Groves of cocoanuts and guava
Grew above it's fields of lava.
So the gem of the Antilles
ssIsles of Eden," where no i'll is
Like great green turtle slumbered
On the sea that it encumbered.
Then said William Henry Seward
As he cast his eyes to leeward
"Quite important to our commerce
Is this island of st. Thomas"
Said the Mountain ranges, "Thank,ee
But we cannot stand the Yankee
Ger our scars and assures porlhg,
In our very vitals boring.
In our sacred caverns pry1ng,
All our secret problems trying
Digpnp. blasting, with dynamit
Mocking all our thunders! D-n it'll
Other lands may be more civil,
Bust our lava crust five will.''
Said the Sea-its white teeth gnashing
o er its coral-reef lips flashing;
"Shall let this scheming mortal
Shut with stone my shining portal,
Curb my tide and check my play.
Fence with wharves my shining bay?
Rather let me be drawn out
In one awful water spout!'
Said the black-browed Hurricane
Brooding DER the Spanish main;
"Shall see say forces, zounds!
Measured by square inch and pounds,
With detectives at my back
When double on my track,
And my secret paths made clear,
Published DER the hemisphere
To each gaping, prylng crew?
Shall /? Blow me ifI dol''
So the mountains shook and thundered,
And the hurricane came sweeping,
And the people looked and wondered
AS the sea came on them leaping;
Each, according to his promise,
Made things lively at st. Thomas.
Till one morning, when Bill Seward
Cast his weather eye to eward,
There was not an inch of dry land
Lett to mark his recent island.
Not flagstaff or a sentry,
Not wharf or port of entry
Only-to cut matters shorter
Just patch of muddy water,
In the open ocean lying,
And gull above itflying.

Shall we Go ID!

The time has come when the location
and building of Railroads through both
new and old communities is determined
by local action. When capitalists en-
bark in any railroad enterprises at the
present time, they make not only topo-
graphical survey, but a geographical,
physical and financial one. 1t is not
enough for them to know that certain
place exists, nor the single fact that it
may be desirable to touch that point.
1t is not enoug to know that this or that
is a feasible route, or that a certain
amount Of wealth or business will concen-
trate along the same. These may be
facts well enough in themselves, and ever
necessary, but they need and must have
a correlative or reciprocal rela ton. Rail-
roads of the present day, never force
themselves arbitrarily through any place
or community. But the way must be
made easy and even inviting. The
rough places must be made smooth-the
rugged rocks must be removed-the tow
ering hills must be laid low, and the deep
ravines must be filed. This, which was
in former times the work of a corpora
ton, is to day the work of individual and
local enterprise. The right of way, even,
was once among the most difficult contin-
gencies pertaining to the construction of
railroads. Local and individual! quarrels
spring up on every route, and an almost
endless amount of litigation and strife
was engendered by, and consequent up
on the survey, location and building of
every railroad. Strange as it may seem,
it is nevertheless true, that violent hands
were once laid upon the persons and
property of civil engineers, and, not
twenty five years since, they entered
meadows. gardens and fields, even in
New, England, for the purpose of making
surveys, upon peril of life and limb.
They were looked upon with feelings of
awe, fear and revenge, equaled only by
that exhibited in the days of Salem
Witeheraft. But times have changed,
and capital in railroads goes only when
it may be invited. The right of way
and depot ground must be free, aud
more than this, the grading, or large
share of it must be donated. The name
of the old Tomah and ST. Croix Railroad
! Company has been changed, aud it i;

now called the West Wisconsin Railway
Company; and Westward the star OF
empire takes its way" Shall its light
shine upon Hudson or Prescott? That's
the question, and now is the time to an
swer it. Now is the time to take the first
steps to secure legislative action which
will decide it.. Can we afford to be idle
Shall we consent to lose the golden op.
portunity? Or shall we combine and
make one gigantic effort to secure a ia
vorable location, and final completion Of
the road?
