erty and rights Of natural persons or other
corporations
Such a declaration, Mr.. Carpenter
said, was not less important and start
ling than the bred Scott decision; for
it IS evident that if the doctrine be
conceded that u railroads are mere
private property, and Legislatures
pOweElesstO cOatEgh them, the gross
est abuses anal 0ppreeiOns VII follow.
States assumed the right to regulate
the rate OF interest on money, where
there car be no monopoly, q il Is
within the power Of mDst citizens to
loan it.. There should be control Over
railroads, because they are necessa-
rily mOnOpOfies, with which citizens
cannot compete. srr.l seay
Coming to the consideration of rem
edies, Mr.. Carpenter eOntended that
| although an effort to control railroads
I on the part of the different States
would result in confusion, as many
railroads. crossed several States, it was
still within the constitutional power
Of the General Government to control
them, under the clause which gives
Congress the power to regulate COM
merce between the States. He also
cOntended that as the power to regu-
late commerce includes the power to
facilitate commerce, the Government
might buiid roads b~etweensuch prom
inent points asthe generalintesests Of
commerce might require, and make
them common highways over which
any merchant or Farmer might run a
train of cars, On conforming to such
regulations as should be prescribed.
This, he thought, the Government
could do much more eheaply than
would be possible for private corpora
tiOns, because the former has greater
means and can do work upon a greater
scale, while the cOrpOrtion Is often
compelled to mortgage its road before
it is completed, and to give contracts
in which directors are Interested. He
also thought the corporations are sub
jet to more losses from sWindling by
contractors than the Government
would be. The money appropriated
for the building Of POst-Offices and
cOurt-h0uses had been honestly APP
piled, and Yif the Government cannot
find among M people honest men
enough to administer its affairs, men
who will disburse its funds without
stealing, then it should stop and pro-
nOunce free Institutions and govern
ment by the people a failure and an
impOs5ibilfty."

A HAPPY LETTER.

Ny Dear Cousin KateLSueh a change has

Ger my earthly lot. since I saw you last,

The tidings 50 JOYFUL, 70 all my friends.
My burden Ia gone, and my sky is bright:
ny spirits are calm, and nay heart is light;

The nrst OF the kind which he ever had seen.
And l thought he would kiss my SEWING MA

Youn think me e~Ktravagant, I viii engage,
But this Is the subject, my dear, Of the age:
The world Is divided. 'twiXt those who have

Alas what pitfful objects are they
Who are doomed 20 sew In the Old fashioned
way
Hemming and stitching snd dsrning and
mending,
Year in and year OUT duty amending.
And though the eyes swim, the head throb
Though heart and side ache, naught syails 10
complain.
And now, Cousin Kate, 7 want you to see
And well understand what this wonder may
be;
So come and seek not your duties 10 shirk,
But come with an extra ran full Of work.
You Will never go back 20 your home, l weeu,
Without taking with you aSEw1N0MACITISE.
But, II you can't come the fairy 10 view.
Why, then have the fairy cOIne uAtO YOU.
l know yOull not ask which kind Is the best,
For tina is a query long since put TO rest;

a prOverb has been well defined to
be 1.-THE wit OF one man and tile Wis
dom of many"-the concentration of
the common sense and experience of
many into some happy pithy express
sion. The study of these quaint con-
denSed sayings has ever been a favor
lite n with literary men. Cervantes
makes SanchO Panza's conversation a
whole string Of them, rs in our day
Dickens has freely put them into the
mouth of the inimitable Sam Weller;
while learned and grave divines have
found in these sparkling S~cintillations
n pleasant relief from more serious Oc-
equations. A recent lecture by the
author of a popular work on the Life
and Epistles of st. Paul, presents an
interesting collection OF those witty
aphorisms, Complete proverbial sem
fences are either eXhortative, such as

"Think of ease, but work on Il" HPull

Poor Richard says, "Silks and satins
put out the kitchen fire. Poetry has
always had a tendency to run into
rhyme and ALTERATION, and it is so
with proverbs. We say, ''Time and

form is, ""Time and tide for no man
abide" Sometimes the form Is mere

Willful waste makes woful

sumo the shape of absolute rhyme,

"Who goes borrowing goes q sorrow

further illustrate this:

IF a MAN has money or property
there is a prejudice against him In the
minds Of some for that very reason.
Better have a prejud ice against an i'll
use or boarding his money. than
against his possessing it. A capitalist
may as well have "a prejudice"
against laborers, as they any against
him. Men will not ; their money
II they cannot profit by it, and nobody
should blame them in such a case.
We have all a right TO do the best we
can with our own-the capitalist with
his money, as well as the mechanic
with his labor. He who builds houses
or steamboats,, or railways, is a public
benefactor, and none the less so be-
cause he profits by it. In order 70
live and do further good he must not
starve, but amass money as the means
Capital and labor are mutually dc.
pendent. The laborer who wouId.
thrive should desire that they who
will use their means in private
and public Improvement should
grow rich, so that they may be able
to give him employment, until by his
earnings ne shall grow rich also, and

Singular Discovery in Bay of Bengal,

Among the vessels lost in the MEM
omble cyclone thatsweptover the Bay
of Bengal in 1867, were the steamer
Thunder and the ship Morayshire.
Search was p~rOfessed to be made for
these and other missing vessels among
the S~oonderbuns, but no trace of them
was discovered, and it was taken for
granted that both had gone down at
sea. The other day a party of fisher
men, driven for shelter into an out of
the way creek, some four miles in
land, stumbled upon the hull of a
ship, which proved to be the Moray
shire, and further In found a large
steamer, with masts and tunnels still
standing, which answered to the de-
scription of the Thunder. The steam
er had 9l65, 900 on board, which is
doubtless yet in her bullion hold.
Painful speeulations are, of course,
called up as to the fate of her crew
and passengers. What that fate was
may never be discovered. 1t is con-
jectured that they could not have
lived long, even If they survived the
cyclone, as the place is malarious in
the extreme, and infested with tigers.
What is, perhaps, the strongest, is
that these vessels have been lying
here two years within y few miles of
the mouth OF the HCoshly.

THE Nashville Banner states
that a memorial is being prepared,
and will be presented to the next
Congress, for improving the naviga-
ton of the Tennessee river, and re-
moving the Muscle Shoals Obstruc-
tions. This is a great necessity, and
a work OF national Importance. The
Tennessee ranks as the sixth of the
great rivers Of the continent, and
drains five States. Above the Shoals
steamers Of three feet draft ascend as
high as Knoxville, and at high water
even further. The Banner says:
All the commerce of this productive re-
gion, watered by SO many streams, has a
material obstruction in the main outlet to
the Mississippi and Gulf, in the Muscle
Shoals, closing up 1900 miles of navigation
in the very heart of America, upon
streams draining a territory OF 1900
square miles. Thus the main CONNER
cial artery of the nation il ligatured al
TIN point. a few millions of dollars OK

struction would add millions 10 the reye-

sources of this country, embraced m

GINA and North Carolina, are thro,tled NJ
Muscle Shoals. There are along the banks
OF this river, IN North Alabama. l,E2LOOOI
acres of Government land, now a wider
ness which would be occupied but for
this obstruction. In mineral and agri-
cultural resources there IS no spot on the
globe which snrpGsses il IN variety and

grcss will give liberal aid and encourage
