WE DO rot know the reason Why
the Cairo and Vincennes road mas
been given up. The effect OF the
abandonment will be to direct the at
tention of all the counties IN Limos
interested in that road to the necessity
of securing connection with our ROAD
EUdnSUille journal.
The JOURNAL treats the suspension
of work on. and the TumOred abandon
mont Of the Cairo and Nincennes
Railroad as a fact, but be this as 1t
nav. the presumption Of that journal
Is monstrous. Mark its language:
THE effect of the abandonment Will
be to direct the attention Of dH the

We do not think our presumption
il so monstrous. Suppose the Cairo

which it most certainly is. and tina
Evansville should offer to build hel
road to Padueah, how many counties
would refuse to transfer their dona
ton from the former to the latte

confident The people Of Southern
Illinois want a railroad outlet, ant
they will give to the first road tina
promises relief in that particular. L
the Vincennes aud Cairo road ha
collapsed, they will cheerfully he'll

promises to give them the desir

the Mercury does not regar'
our road as very imaginary. Their
is, at least, nothing imaginary in tn
donation of $4,000 voted by th
people of this county. The vote show
that our people are very much ii
earnest, and that a railroad int

upon which they have set their hearts
The Mercury may depend upon it, tina

Spain is Fighting TO Perpetuate Slave.
~ in Cuba.
From the Journal of Commerce

From the Journal OF commerce.
In one of our letters from Havana
the writer brings into bold relief the
fact that Spain hau staked herself
upon the preservation of slavery in
Cuba. He states that all the parties
in the island who are now cOntribut-
ing most literally for the support of
the Spanish army operating there are
slave dealers or slave owners. These,
though a small minority of the whole
population, have large proportion of
the wealth of Cuba in their hands,
and they invest it to sustain the Span
ish authority because they perfectly
well understand that Spain, in turn,
will protect them in their slave prop
erty. The name of one man (Zalueta)
who owns thousands of slaves, is mem
toned as an example of the class who
rally most devOtedly to the Spanish
side of the quarrel.
We may probably never know
what pledges Spain has given to the
slave-Owners of Cuba; but it may
naturally be inferred thai some word
has been passed between the Govern
ment at Madrid and the Cuban Off
cials, which warrants the latter in
appealing most powerfully to the
slave holding interest on the island
We have long suspected that the re-
ported designs of Spain to free the
Cuban slaves ultimately have been
allowed to become current in order to
soothe the excited public opinion of
the United States and Europe, and to
gain time. If this is so, if slavery or
freedom is one of the great issues to be
fought out between the Spaniards and
native Cubans, (the latter having al
ways declared themselves in favor of
emancipation then there can be lit
tie doubt of the result of the struggle.
The strictly practical effect of the
sympathies of the United States,
France, England and other European
nations in behalf of emancipation,
will settle the question conclusive
ly.
So long as Spain held out the hope
of freedom for the slaves, so long
would public opinion in Europe at
least be pretty evenly balanced be-
tween her and the revolutionists, but
when she appears as the armed cham
piOn of slavery she loses all the Dopu-
lar support which she might have
had, and makes every European Gov
eminent wary of giving her encour-
agement or aid. OF course in the
United States she deprives herself of
the last vestige of sympathy from
Government or people; and offers a
strong temptation to Congress, early
at their next assembling, to demand
the accordance of belligerent rights to
the Cubans, or the more extreme step
of the recognition of the Cuban Re
public.

The Rotary Motion of the Earth--
FOucault'S Experiment.

Foucault's very interesting expert
ment to demonstrate the rotary mo-
ton of The earth was tried in the ro-
tunda of the Capitol on Saturday un-
der direction of Mr.. Mendenhall, of
the Columbus High School. \ heavy
iron ball, weighing % pounds was
suspended by a wire 100 feet long,
from the center of the dome. This
wire with the ball forms a great PEN
dulum which is hung at the top on
steel point. This pendulum when in
motion does not vibrate continuously
in the same direction but marks q
change equal, in this latitude, to
about nine degrees an hour. The
theory is that the pendulum vibrates
all the time on the same plane, or in
the same direction and that the appar-
ent change marks the rotary motion
OF the earth.
The experiment, we believe, has
never been successfully tried but
twice before, once in Paris, and once
at Bunker Hill Monument in this
country. The Capitol here is an ad-
mirable place for the trial, and the
experiment on Saturday was very
successful. A large number of spec
tators were present during the day,
showing the greatest interest in this,
the third trial of this interesting eX-
periment.-OhiOS State Journal.

ATouebinr Case of Heroism.

1t is often said that the age of heroic
deeds is past; but one of the nOblest
acts of which we have ever read was
performed by a poor empiOye Of rail-
road company and within few miles
of New York.
Albert G.. Drecker is the bTidgetend.
er at the Passaic River drawbridge, on
the Newark and New York railroad.
On Friday afternoon, just previous to
the time for passenger train to reach
the bridge, the draw was open. Mr..
Drecker knew that the train was
coming. He began to turn the bridge,
so as to close the draw before its
arrival.
At this moment he saw his little
son, who was only ten years old, and
who fell into the river below. The
agonized father looked down the
track. He saw the train coming
swiftly toward the bridge, and knew
that to do his utmost there was barely
time to close the draw. In the water
below him his boy was struggling for
life. A leap into the stream Mt this
moment, and he could save his child.
But the train came laundering down,
and he knew that if he left his post
for even a single instant, a hundred
lives might be sacrificed. He stayed.
Slowly the bridge was swung into
position, and the train passed safely
over; and none of the passengers
knew what their safety had cost the
poor workman, who sprang into the
river only to take thence the lifeless
body of his boy.
Is there any story of heroism to sur
pass this? Think, if you can, of the
terrible alternatives of duty which
were presented to this man. There
was no time to deliberate. His son
was dying. He could easily rescue
him by leaping into the river beneath.
But that leap must have cost many
other precious lives-perhaps hun
dreds-and had he a right to imperil
these? The agony of lifetime suf-
fering must have been compressed in
that moment of doubt. With sublime
and heroic fortitude, this noble father
resolved to do his highest duty; and
to that duty his son was sacrificed
How many of us would have done the
same?-N. y. Sun

The Nations that Eat Most.

The ruling people of the world, who
have from time to time shaped the
destiny of humanity, have always, so
far as can be asceTtained, been liberal
feeders. This remark applies, of
course, only to the ruling classes in
these nationalities, and not to the
slave or peasant class, who lived with
them, but were not of them. But of
the partisan or governing orders of So
ciety-the leaders Of the world in leg
islation, in war, in commerce, in sci
ence, and literature-it is preemintly
true. The dominant class among the
BabylOnians, the Persians, and espec-
tally the Romans, were free and luXu-
TiOusi in theirhabits of eating, although
in those days there was less variety of
food than at present. OF the Romans
it has been said, that no people were
ever so devoted to the pleasures of the
table. Among modern nations the
greatest eaters are the English, the
Germans, the French and the Amer
ieans-the ruling people of our civili-
zatiOn. The diet of the Spaniards
and Italians is notably less substantial
than that of the English and Ger
mans, Just as their brains are less act
i've and original. The Americans are,
on the average, the greatest eaters in
the world. said Carlyle to Emerson
1.-The best he knew Of that. country
was, that in it a man could have meat
for his labor
