Railroads Promoting Develop
RaseRt,

The development of internal commerce
depends in no small degree on the crea
ton and management Of the great trunk
lines. A glance at the statistics in this
connection is convince At the date Of
the opening of the Erie, there were
10000 miles of railway in operation in
the United States, with a tonnage Of
500 900 tons. Previous to the open.
ing of the Erie Canal in 1927, the ton.
mage crossing the AIlegha"ies in both
directions did not exceed $4,000 tons,-
the cost of transportation being COM
plete bar to the eastward movement OF
Western produce.
In 1886 the transportation of Western
produce eastward, Was not in excess OF
6O,OO9 tons while in lS46 the tonnage
was 4l9,U00 tons, and in 1851, 965, 5,99s
tons. In 1867, on the other hand, the
through tonnage of the five great lines
the Erie Canal, New York Central, Erie
Pennsylvania, and Baltimore and Ohio
RaiIroads-amounted to 6,O00,O00 TONS
with value of 81 200, 100000.
The population of Illinois is now one
fifteenth that of the whole country. de.
trayiug about one-fifteenth of the whole
expense of the Federal Government
The creation of this wealth IS due almost
altogether to railroads aud lines Of com
munication and other States of like
wealth and magnitude are waiting to be
created out Of the vast domain lying Still
farther west.

Proportion Of 3'ogygaassi>ts i'm

A correspondent Of the Watclmar
and Reflector says My first inquiry
as to the proportion of polygamists here
| addressed to the postmaster. His an.
swer was, One in twent,r' A lead
ing banker confirmed his statement
Both are old residents. l next asked
the same question of the L Episcopal min.
lister, who has been here near y as long
as the banker and postmaster His an.
swer was at once, When | came here,
halt the Mormons had more than one
wife; now two-thirds of them have
Astonished at this diversity of views,
pushed my Inquiries into other quar-
ters; IN all cases asking my questions
as if | had never asked before, so that
no respondent might be influenced by
what he had heard from others. Still,
| have scarcel y discovered two who
agree in opinion, although more incline
10 the larger than smaller proportion.
Our ge-driver, already resident here
five years. was positive that three
fourths Of the Mormons have each more
than one wife; indeed, declares he
knows but one man in the city able to
maintain more than one wife, that has
not married more, and that man is Hoop
er, the Congressional delegate. l was
out of the city, this morning about ten
miles, and fell into conversation with "a
Mormon and his wife. After getting a
little acquainted, | gave him NY quts-
ton. He estimated the number of men
who have more than one wife at one
tenth. When | mentioned this estimate
to my driver, he told me my informant
had himself no less than nine wives;
and probably thought that if oue-tenth
Of his brethren had as many wives as
he, there would be none1eft for the 9th
er nlne-teLths.
In Richardson's Beyond the Missis-
sippi there is a picture Of a house with
six front doors, and under it the words
" Sic Wires" Each door was viewed
as the mark of wife, as it We're, can
outward and visible sign of an inward
and spiritual grace" In many cases
have noticed houses where an addition
al front door was just in making, as if
for new wife to enter. Still, | am
told by good authorities that the door
criterion is fallacious, and that two
wives may be found not only entering
the same door, but sharing the same
room-a cabin of but one single apart
ment.
Opinions are also strangely discor-
dant as to whether the proportion of poly
gamists is greater i'll the city or in the
country, and the farmers look on getting
Il new wife as securing field hard, or
maid of ali work, merely for board and
a bit of calico, but without paying any
thing of Wages.

The happiness we have here comes

quently unable tell. a cheerful word
spoken at home, sympathetic face met
ON the street, an ins piring stanza, or
paragraph read in book, or the san
shine Of a bright morning will some
times fill the heart with joy, and make
all the world seem beautiful aud friend
ly, aud cause US to wonder how people
are morose and miserable when there are
50 many things to make them happy
But these bright flashes 60 as they come
A leaden observation creeps over the
heart, and keeps out the omniprcsent
sunshine that floods all things else
The shadow is the colder and darker
because of the brightness and warmth
CHAT prevails so near to it-just as the
chill air on snow-topped mountains is
made more dismal and dreary by the
pictured valleys that smile at their base.
The cheerfulness of others seems ike a
cynical taunt; and the golden sunshine,
the flash of flowers, the placid repose of
green fields, and the murmur of flowing
waters. instead of soothing us into har-
mony with their own beauty, appear
like malicious mockeries of our wretch
edness. Human beings continually
cheat themselves with the delusion that
there is an exLaustIe>s sea of bliss some
where beneath the stars. They seek
it in success, in learning, in wealth, in
love. in marriage. But they never find
it, because it does not exist. Earthly
happiness is too scarce to be extrava-
gantly used. The supply is sufficient
for the purposes of life, but, like the
watprpools in the desert, it needs to be
frugally husbauded, and moderately en-
joyed, to make it last through the cheer.

Foo:isE, 15re5tstt;ces.

Nothing is more absurd than prcjn.
dice. We must judge individuals moi
classes. True, the same manner of life
the same amount of ignorance or educa.
tlon, and the influences of climate and
custom will cause men to assimiIate,
but not to such degree as many appear
to suppose. lnwardly, each man is
hlmseV, and not one OF any class, party,
or country.
How absurd, then, to say, Oh, he
will do this thing, or be this thing,
because he is English He'sa Yankee,
and must make wooden nutmegs and
swop penk,ives. He is Irish, and has
kissed the barney stone. He is Scotch,
and would skin flint to save farthing.
lie is German, and cares for nothing
but lager and pretzels lie is French,
and SO Of course without morals. He is
Spanish. and must bag. He's an old
man, and of course spitcful. He's an
old bachelor, and hates babies. Or, as
strong minded women declare, a man,
and so a tyrant; and quoting the
thoughts rather than the words of many
men: "A woman, and so something of
an idiot"
Now we all know Yankees who are
above trickery; we know Irish folk who
prefer abuse to fattery, generous Scotch
people, lively Germans, and strictly
proper and pious French men and wo-
men; exclusively humble Spaniards
old maids who are so angelic that no
living man is worthy of them; bachelors
who devote their spare moments to their
nieces and nephews; men whose yield.
ing tenderness, where woman is con-
cerned, is almost a fault; and women
who have solid heads and brilliant
minds and power to think and act which
men might envy.
knowing all these exceptions to be
accepted rules it is absurd to give them
credence even in our speech, and so
foster the f;lse feeling engendered by
them. 1t is as absurd to hate man
because he belongs to any country or
class. as it would Re to detest him be-
cause be had wart on his chin.

Night Air not Injurious.

There is popular prejudice concern
ing the evil effects Of night air, about
which word must be said In her
admirable writings on hygiene and the
management Of the sick, Miss Night
ingale has done much to correct this
mistake. 1t was formerly the universal
belief that the air of night was very
injurious But the fact is, that, except
under certain circumstances, it is as
healthful, or even more so than that of
the day time. The night air of large
cities, such as London, when the hustle
and commotion, which causes it TO be
loaded with dust particles, is compare
lively quelled, and the numerous fires
which contaminate it with their smoke
are mostly eStinguisked, is purer than
that of the day. Nothing conduces more
to healthy sleep than good ventilation,
and no more of ventilation surpasses
that obtained by opening a window at
the top, by which the influence of
draught is avoided, while the upper
strata of air, to which impurities ascend,
are constantly renewed But there is
still another reason for adopting night,
even in preference to day ventilation
In sultry weather it is common mis-.
take to open the windows instead ol
keeping them altogether closed, as is the
casa in very hot climates. But little
reflection will show that since the hight
of the thermometer in the sun greatly
exceeds that shown at the same time by
| another thermometer placed in the shade
by opening our windows we admit mucl
heated air into our room. The proper
time under such circumstances for venti
lation is during the night, when til,
external atmosphere is cooled down
By adopting this plan in hot weather
the temperature of room may Away
be kept down several degrees lower thai
if the opposite course is pursued.
