NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILRoAn.-Grcat
things are anticipated from this road. The
Burlington Free Press says that the North
ern Pacific Railroad bill confirms vast
grant with great privileges. 1t will open
the whole country over which it stretches.
The railroad company itself will bring in
more thousands of settlers than the govern
ment, without the road, would secure Of
individuals. The taxes paid by these SET
tiers within fifteen years, will exceed the
entire amount the government would Get
from sales of these lands in halt century.
When the sharpest western men want TO
make money they buyaarc tract of land,
divide it into small tracts and givo AWAY
alternate farms. In three years the romniu-
ing farms are worth twice or three Zines
the cost Of the whole. Just so it is in this
case. The public domain remaining will
be worth three years from to-day. to the
whole country and to settlers, three times
what the whole now is, or without the rail
road, ever will be.

The Chasm in Front OF the Train.

How provokingly long were the hours of that Mon
Their unpleasant scenes haunt my memory still
The cornfield the haysaeks the road with the rail
fence,
| The farmhouse surrounding the top Of the hill
The brook in its winnings through thick tangled will
! The pasture and gate at the foot of the lane.
The oak trees. the pine trees the stumps logs and
lodges,
And cen the great chasm in front Of the train.
That terribly vexing. most unweleome chasm,
That wide yawning chasm in front of the train
On the left OF the track was small pond Of water;
On the right was the highway which ran rather
near;
Away in the distance, half hid by the bushes.
A little white cottage, and barn 10 the rear.
The telegraph posts and the brush covered hillside.
The cutters and rivulets made by the rain,
And just on ahead, a rudely built log bridge
That spanned the great chasm in front Of the train.
That terribly yexing, most unwecome chasm.
That wide gaping chasm in front of the train.
Our condition such. and such our surroundings,
That ill-natured people were tempted to scod;
They rallied at the reshet the railroad, the weather
Some growled at the heat, and others the cold,--
A few here and there made light of the matter.
And talked about politics, Cuba and SPAIN
But still all their arguments wit and fault-fnding
Didn't fill up the chasm in front Of the train;
That terribly vexing. most unwelcome chasm,
That awful. deep chasm in front of the train.
As sat by the window hard -raeked with vexation.
Uneasy, and tired Of my velvet stuffed seat,
My attention was caught by scene in the highway
An x-team-wth driver astraddle the neap;
How envied that man with his yoke of strong cat

Discord Among the Sisters.

The women's movement, we are sorry
to say, does not move on with altogether
becoming harmony and sweet charity
among its advocates. The sister politi-
clans have shown equal capacity with the
monster brethren for quarreling among
themselves. Unhappily, too, the issues
are of the smallest They relate neither
to principles nor to men, but to petty
questions of precedent and details of or
ganization.
First, there is the controversy of or
CARNATIONS that of New York, headed
by Mrs. Stanton and Anna Dickinson
and Susan Anthony, withsthe Revolu-
tionsfor an organ; and that of Cleveland
whose real seat, however, is Boston, and
whose animating spirits are Mrs. Liv er
more and Mrs. Howe and Col. Higgin-
son, with the new woman's Journal as
their paper.
Then, again, the women of the Hub "
are not altogether harmonious with each
other. Col. Greene has stirred up his
feminine followers, of whom Mrs. Dam
iels and Jennie Collins are the leaders,
to spirit of jealousy against Mrs Howe
and her associates. 1t is the practical
working women and their needs against
the ladies of ease; the women of the
needle against tie women of books and
theories; calico against silk.
Coming out Of sets and circles to indi-
viduals, the queenly Mrs. Stanton, who
looks the embodiment of grace and char
ity, has managed to put not only Broth
er Greeley but Wendall Phillips into a
condition of pouting criticism and per-
sonal rebellion. In the meeting at Bos-
ton last week, Mr.. Phillips refused to
speak to Mrs. Stanton, saving coldly,

For fifteen or twenty years the people
have received their papers in the county
where published free of postal charge.
There has never been any complaint
about it from any quarter. The Presi-
dent asked for no change in it in his an
nual message, nor did the Postmaster
General ask it, nor has any Of those pa
pers like the Tribune, that are "death
on the franking privilege" asked for it.
We should like to know then, the object
of subjecting the people at this time to
an extra tax Of twenty cents year on
their county newspapers. That is what
it amounts to. If the bill now pending
in the Senate becomes a law without
amendment, and the people make no
complaint, very we'll. The newspapers
can stand it, but the people have had
enormous taxea to bear in the last ten
years which they have borne with great
patriotism and patience, and now to re-
vive an old tax on their county newspa-
pers it seems to us is wholly uncalled for.

Reputation.
DEMOCRATIC QUARREL IN THE HOUSE.

There was democratic quarrsl in the
House on Saturday, ON the question Of
their position ON the public debt. We
alluded last week to the fact that many
democrats would be glad to have their
party assume more respectable position
on some of the public questions of the
day, not surprising they wonld so soon
give us fresh instance upon which to
found such remark. We quote from
the proceedings in the House as follows:
"Mr. Golladay of Kentucky reviewed
thespeech of Mr.. Voorhees, of Indiana on
Friday. He said his friend declared
that he Voorhees, was not repudiator,
and vet the whole force of his figures and
argument was to show the immortality
and injustice of the bonded debt. No
man could read the gentlemans' speech
outside of that part of it in which he de-
clared himself not repudiator, and
dream he had not snapped places with
himself.
Mr. Northeastern the gentlemen not
appreciate the difference
Mr.. Golladay declined to yield the
floor. a
Mr.. VOORHEES, Perhaps the gentleman
does not appreciate the difference be-
tween paying what We owe and paying
what we do not owe.
Mr.. Golladay-The gentleman made
an argument in favor of reputation
much better and stronger than | can
hope to make. adopt it. 1t was as
good speech for reputation as | can
desire. If the gentleman from Indiana
submitted entirely to the naked question
of contract, it was a plain case that the
bondholder held his bonds according to
the legal contract. If he took the other
portion of the argument that there was
no consideration, that there was usury
and extortion, that the gentleman was
upon his (Golladay's) platform,
and if that gentleman spoke for his par
ty the democratic party were upon his
platform, although they had not the
to say SO in the face of the coun-
try.
Mr.. Eldridge of Wisconsin.-The gen.
tleman having made such charge, will
he now allow me word?
Mr.. Golladay declined to yield.
Mr.. Eldridge-I must say that | con-
slider the gentleman's course as rather
cowardly.
Mr.. Voorhees-So do l.
Mr.. Golladay-The gentleman has a
right to form his own estimate as to what
constitutes cowardice, and if he so de-
sires it, there are 9th r theaters on which
he may show his bodness, and other
means by which he may testify it than
by making such statement.
Mr.. Eldridge-I only referred to cow
ardice in debate
Mr.. Golladay-I return the words of
the gentlemen in the spirit in which they
are offered. / presume he does not mean
to impute cowardice to me. If he and
the gentleman from Indiana mean to
make such an imputation, defy them,
socially, politically and intel
ectually.

A HORRIBLE MURDER.-A horrible
murder was recently committed in the
little Prussian town Of Schrimm. A
country girl living not far from that
place, had received her inheritance of
500 thalers from the authorities there.
On her return home she spent the night
in village; having no acquaintance
there, she took refuge at the house of the
village justice, to whom, in virtue of his
position, she gave her whole confidence,
and informed him Of the object of her
journey. He was ready to take her in,
and advised her to go to bed with his
wife. When all lay in deep sleep, the
covetous host got up, went into the gar
den and dug a hole there. He then took
a sharp knife, went up to the bed where
the two were asleep, and with steady
hand cut the throat of the person lying
furthest from the wall, took up his vic
tim, and buried her in the garden
| When he came back he found the bed
empty. He had murdered his own wife
instead of the stranger The wife lay
close to the wall during the evening, bu,
had afterwards moved to the other side
Of the bed. The girl had got out of bed
after the murder and fastened away with
her money.

vince US Of the merits Of woman suffrage
they will. We think this paper appears

courteous and filled with other miscella-
neous matter Of interest, besides that de-
voted to its speciality. Those who may
