The Blue Ridge Railroad.

The Columbia Phoenix of yesterday
has the following encouraging paragraph
in relation to the Blue Ridge Railroad:
We learn that full report by Colo.
mel James P. Low, Chief Engineer OF
the Blue Ridge Railroad, of his recent
reconnaissance of the line Of the road
from Walhalla to the Rahun Gap, has
been received by General Harrison, the
President of the Company. We are
glad to l,arn that the deterioration of
the road-bed and bridges, which it was
apprehended would be considerable,
from the long interval since work was
suspended, is pronounced comparatively
trivial, in consequence of the substantial
character Of the work originally, and the
statement is offici lily made, that the
line from Walhalla to Rabun Gap (the
tunnels included) can be completed in
twenty months from the time that op-
erations are resumed Colonel Lowe
proposes at once to commence the re
survey of the line, with an effective
force of assistants, and expects to have
the working estimates ready for the con.
tractors in the early part of April; so
that there are reasonable hopes for the
completion of the road from Anderson
to the Rabun Gap by the month Of De-
celnber, 1870. AS nearly oil the diff
culties on the route to Knoxville are COM
prised within this section, and as the
remainder Of it is of easy construction,
we can afford to congratulate our read
ers on the early termination Of this work,
which will make South Carolina the
thoroughfare, and Charleston the out.
let, of the immense productions of the
mighty West.

MATRIMONIAL MARKEr.-Several years ago
there were attempts to start system of matri-
monial brokerage in New York city, but none of
them succeeded. Somehow they speedily turned
into business an infinite deal worse than mat
rimony, and the whole thing had disreputable
air. Oflate man has come here from London,
who proposes to conduct this business in the
most respectable and responsible manner and to
this end he will receive no one on his books
whose character is not fully vouched for by at
least two responsible persons. His requirement
extends to both sexes, and he emphaticaly de-
c.ares that any one who cannot bring 6rst-class
recommendations will be excluded from the bus
iness of his Office. If be does this he may in
time build up business, but unless he has
good capital he will starve before be has reached
paying point. Matrimonial agencies have an
odd sound in this country, but this enterprlsing
Englishman argues that our prejudice against
them is very absurd. He says that in all large
cities there are many worthy men who want 70
marry, but have very few female acquainfances,
and none that are desirable. There are many
worthy women too, who would like to marry
bot have no male acquaintances what oet1r,
be argues, that an agency that shall bring these
people together under proper resFicuons ana
nroper guarantees of character!

Sam Patch.

have never been able to discover who were
the parents of my noted subject, unless they
were old Mr.. and Mrs. Patch but of his early
life we have authentic record.
He was born in leap year, and surnamed Sam.
The first jump hear of his making was into
the cistern, before he old enough to eat with
knife and fork. The circumstances attending
this jump were not very satisfactory, as we'll
drag had to be called into requisition in getting
him out. The sharp points of the drag tore the
seat OF his breeches some, and it became imme-
diately necessary to sew a namesake of bis to
that very unmentionable portion of his ward
robe.
Sam, you know, was heavy on jumping falls
in after life. His initiation into this highly ex-
citing pursuit happened while at Sunday school.
Notwithstanding the persuasons of his teacher
to learn the Bible straight through, he jumped
Adams fall and went on to the next chapter
His success in this induced him TO Jump from
the last day of summer clear over Fall and land
on the edge of the next winter But this was
too big an attempt for boy to make, and he
didn't even get far as the middle of next
week.
Sam used to jump off hay-stacks, pig-styes,
&C., FOR the amusement of the small boys of tho
neighborhood.
He could jump into bed at night with a
prising grace, but old Patch iEvarbly had to
pull him out in the morning. But there are
clauses in every mans history that wouldn't
bear repeating, and for this reason l have said
nothing about Sans love of morning slumber.
One day, while assisting the elder Patch to
shingle barn, they got to quarreling, and little
Patch jumped at big Patch with a claw hammer.
Old man Patch clawed and hammered his undu-
tiful son while, and threw him off the roof
Gaining his perpendicular he descended into an
old we'll in the barnyard without injury. Climb
ing out, he addressed few melting words of
love to his pa, and then left the scenes of his
childhood forever.
He advertised himself as jumpist, and i'm
medately went into business. Patch was very
rash, in fact he was all broke out with it, and in
jumping straight down. NJ one in his time was q
patch to them
Patch chose to jump into the water on account
of his yielding nature. His friends endeavored
10 persuade him to jump from steeples, but he
had settled idea that such a course would give
him corns, and ever since he worked in old
Patch's corn patch he had a great antpathy to
corns.
Patch should have lived till the last war, as
his great propensity for jumping would have
abled him to leap the bounty as no other man in
the business could.
SamuePs last jump was at Genessee falls
His engagement closed in that waterfall. He
made successful jump, carried out his pro-
came up again. Some think he must have sat
down on the bottom of the river to rest, fell
asleep, and been devoured by fishes before he
awoke.
But don't believe that's the reason no more
than you do.
Another lunatic advances the opinion that he
saw his creditors on the bank and didn't dare to
come up. That looks reasonable enough but
don't think so.

RETALIATION. - The Vallejo Recorder of the
29th ult. has the following:

10Th ult. has the following:
Not many miles from Vallejo there is village
where the young gentlemen are noted for their
want of attention and gallantry to young ladies',
who complain justly of the seeming indifference
which is manifested toward them. The ques-
tion was agitated for some time, when the ladies
called an indignation meeting and resolved to
show the gentlemen that they were not depend
ent upon them for escort to public places. and
that they would not languish for their society.
Last Sunday many of the aforesaid young ladies
appeared at church with juveniles, some of ten
der years, and others who had assumed the tooa
Drills. They seemed to have triumphed, but the
worst was yet to come. An entertainment was
given, and only the juveniles were invited.
Bevies OF beauty gathered and blushed at their
own loveliness. The juveniles were there, but
no manly form or graceful figure gave zest to the
occasion. The hours passed merrly until the
resolution of the young ladies gave way, and
they thought, with pity, of the young men who
bad been SO cruelty ostracised and banished from
their presence. Pity is akin to love, and they
sighed for reconciliation, whereupon a commit
tee was sent out to Invite ungallant gentlemen
to the feast, but alas they came not.

BRINGING MUMMIEs BACK TO LlFE-It is said
that in the tombs of the Metropolis of ancient
Egypt two kinds of mummies have been found
One is incomplete-that is 10 say all organs
necessary to life have been separated from them ;
the other, on the contrary, is quite complete.
Having observed this, Swedish chemist, Dr.
G:usselbach, who has the reputation of being
both great and learned, Professor at the Univer-
sity of Upsal, has come to the conclusion that
the Egyptian mummies are not ALL as has been
said and believed for some thousands of years.
bodies embalmed by any process of preservation
whatever, but that they are really the bodies of
individuals whose lives had been momentarly
suspended, with the intention of restoriug them
at some future time, only the secret of preserva-
ton has been lost. Meanwhile, Professor Grus-
sebach adduces many proofs in support of his
idea; among others, his experiments during the
last ten years, which he says have always proved
successful. He took a snake and treated it in
such manner to benumb it as though it had
been carved in marble, and it was so brittle
that, had he allowed it to fall, it would have
broken into fragments In this state he kept it
for one or several years, then restored it to life
by sprinkling it with stimulating fluid, the
composition of which is his secret. For fifteen
years the snake has been undergoing an exist
ence composed of successive deaths and resur-
rectons, apparently without sustaining any
harm. The Professor is reported to have sent a
petition to his government requesting that a
criminal who has been condemned to death NAV
be given Elm, to treat in the same manner as the
snake, promising to restore him to life in two
years. 1t is understood that the man who up-
dergoes this experiment is to be pardoned
Whether the Swedish government has accented
or rejected the learned chemists proposal is not
known.

There is no heart but hath its inner anguish,
There is no eye but hath with been wet,
There is no voice but hath been heard to languish
Der hours of darkness it can ne'er forget
There is no cheek, however bright Its roses
But perished buds beneath its hues are hid:
No eye that in its dewy light reposes,
But broken star beams tremble meath the lid.
There is no lip with merry laughter ringing,
However light and gay its Words may be,
But II hath trembled at some dark upspringing
Of stern atiilction and deep misery.
We are all brothers in this land Of dreaming
Yet hand meets hand and eye to eye replies,
Nor deem me that beneath brow all beaming
The flower Of life il. broken beauty lies.

Floating.

The mist crawls DER the river,
Hiding the shore either side;
And, under the vailing mist forever,
Neither hear We nor feel the tide.
But our skiff was fhe will of the river,
Though nothing is seen to be passed;
Though the mist may hide it forever, forever,
The current is drawing as fast.
The mathis sweet from the far-off town
Fill the air with their beautiful dream:
The vespers were hnshing the twilight down
When we lost our oars in the stream.

PETRIFIED BODY OF GIANT ExHUMED.-The
Syracuse Courier of a recent date saws:

PErRIFIED BODY OF GIANT ExHUMED.-The
Syracuse Courier of a recent date says:
On Saturday morning last two men were
engaged in digging a well on the farm of Mr..
Newell, about mile and half from Cardiff,
when they suddenly came upon what appeared
to be mans foot of colossal dimensions at
first they were somewhat startled, as a matter
of course, and proceeding to dig around it they
discovered the legs and body of what they sup
posed to be petrfed man of monstrous size
The body lay about two and a-half feet below
the surface of the earth, on its back, with its
right arm and hand crossed upon its breast Its
legs were crossed, one lying upon and across the
other. The news of the discovery of the sun
posed human being spread like widire through
the valley, and all day Saturday and Sunday
hundreds of people visited the locality. DR.. J.
F. Boynton, of this city, geologist of celebrity,
paid visit to the locality yesterday afternoon,
and made most thorough examination, and
pronounces it to be a statute of a Caucasian.
The features are finely cut and are in perfect
harmony. The stone is the gypsum of Onon-
daga county. 1t is the doctor opinion that the
statue was carved by the Jesuits or the early in
habitants of the country, and was placed in the
slough in which it found for the purpose of
concealing it. The dimensions and proportions
Of the statue are colossal and majestic. Its
length is ten feet three inches. We incline to
the opinion that the discovery is the petri6ed
remains OF human being. A statue would
hardly have its legs crossed, nor would its arms
be placed in the position described above. TIE
features are AS perfect and the form is as COM
plete AS that of living person, and it has every
appearance of having once been human being.
