The Mind.

10 study is to think and thought is the
characteristic of the mind. 1t distin-
guishes man from all other orders of
creation, and gives him his superiority
over them. In word thought is power,
power the most unqualitied,-t power
of mind over matter But in orde: to
think subjects are necessary and of these
there is no deficiency; from the humblest
works of nature up to nature herself, and
from nature up to natures God, mex
haustibie subjects are found engaging the
attention of the strongest and most active
minds. And here, too as in everything
else, all equality is ignored no two sub
.jccta presenting the same range for
thought, hence to one superiority over
all others must be given and that one is
the NINA. As machines, none others are
SO perfect as our bodies and as we con
slider the structure and movement OF its
various parts it is evident to US that our
bodies are ftarfuly and wonderfully made.
And all this is but naught when campar-
ed with the mind; in it are fir more
curiously shaped parts, and far greater
adaptation to the ends for which they
were Elitilueu Ill IL are nerves so Gel
cate that the most powerful microscope
cannot render them visible. In it beauty,
power and subiimity are linked into one.
The body, too. is but the mere tenament
o. the min.l-the casi>et that holds the
jewel until its owner chooses to take it
out and wear it. The caskct is then
thrown aside rs Of no value.-the dwell
ing decays AMI crumbles into dust; but
the jewel. the mind. cannot be thrown
aside or decay, for nlu-ht can decay but
mat'er. and mind is immatcl'ial. The
progress of the mind f,om the creation
down to the present time renders it
worthy Of our deepest consideration
There it was rough; now it is the polish
cd gem. To lis rs teachers is knowl-
edge of this subject of vast Importance
and interest. 1t is with the improvement
of this gem that we are interested, and
while we labor to make it shine on the
surface, let us not neglect to strengthen
those delicate parts of which it is COM
posed. knowledge in general expands
the mind, exalts the faculties. retines the
taste for pleasure, and opens numerous
sources Of intellectual enjoyment

RAILROAD COMPETITION. = The
Davenport G"=ettc is informed that
since the completion of the Daven-
port and st. Paul road to De Witt,
the price of coal has dropped from
$3.50 to 1928 per ton; lumber from
s to $50 per Thousand, and that
wheat buyers are paying from ) to :
cents per bu>hel more for wheat than
the Northwe >tern warehouses are;
and that wheat has actually been
hauled from those warehouses to
the Davenport Il 81. Paul cars for
shipment. De Witt is now getting
the best grades of fencing for sls
per thousand, other kinds Of lumber
in proportion, and are enjoying
some rich advantages of their new
road.
Our Lyons neighbors have com
planned of railroad monopolies, and
sought the advantages OF competing
lines not passing through Chicago,
1t is said some merchants in Lyons
have made nice saving in treigh,
on several car loads of goods from
New York and Boston riu the lakes
to Milwaukee and Fulton, cio tho
Western Union road, which is not
the most direct.
If such be the case, competing
railroads are a blessing to the coun
try, and Should be encouraged by
all classes. When one or two more
direct lines of rail are finished
through from the Mississippi river
70 the great eastern markets, mer
chants and produce dealers will un
doubleday enjoy a much lower
freight tariff than NJ present.,

Tie Rank OF Admiral.

General Grant has shown'a great
deal OF magnanimity in nominating,
and urging the confirmation of, Vice
Admiral Porter of the navy to the
rank of Admiral, made vacant by
the death of Farragut, in the face
Of the letter written by Porter some
time since, and recently published,
wherein Grant is assailed in terms
most unjust, upprobrious and UNI
scemly. The President seems to
have set his heart upon the confir-
nation Of the appointment, but the
Senate does not seem to be disposed
to yield an easy acluiesccnce to his
wishes on this point, and Porter's
prospects for promotion arc--to use
nautical term-rather squally. In
the House the opposition extends
still further, and takes the shape of
hostility to the further existence of
the rank itself. A bill accordingly
passed the house, on Monday,by an al
most unanimous vote. abolishing the
grades Of Admiral ard Vice Admit
raj. The debate, before the vote
was taken, was excited, and some
sharp discussion was INDUCED in
bv Logan. the author of the bill, and
Butler in favor, and Schoticld,
chairman of the naval committee,
and Hale, of Maine, against its pas
sage. Butler embraced the occasion
to get even with Porter for some
uncomplimentary illusions to him
self in the letter above mentioned,
and let off one Of his characteristic
harangucs, filled with venom and
dcnunciation. The bill now goes
to the Senate, where Butler is lob
hying with might and main to get
it passed before another executive
session, at which Porter's nomina-
ton might be confirmed and the OBJ
iect of the bill defeated.
