MISS DIX.

On Friday evening there passed through
this city, in a sleeping car, supported by cush-
ions, an invalid lady, who has done more for
humanity than this world can ever know
more than any other lroDlGR HUiRg. 1t is
needless to say that quiet, noble sufferer was
Miss Dorothea L. Dix. She was on her way
TO the East, having been detained in Colum-
bls, Ohio, for several weeks from the effect Of
malaria, imbibed while travelling through
some of the Southern States visiting and in
specting hospitals for the insane. In early
life she devoted her great intellectual and
moral energies to a grand philanthropic pur-
pose, the ameliOrdtiou Of the condition Of the
insane, and her work has been well done. BY
her efforts "mad-houses" and "bedlams' have
been transfol- ned into asylums and hospitals;
and lunaoy, which humanity shrank from with
shuddering has become mental disease, cu-a-
be directly III the ratio of the duration of the
symptoms. For the purpose Of careful minis
tration and cure of this ter. .ble folm Of mala-
dy, through her direct agency and persevering
efforts, hospitals for the insane, with every IA
cility and convenience that science and exper-
ience sould suggest, have been established in
nearly every State Of this Union. "AIind di-
seased" is better cared for in the United States
than elsewhere; and for this glol.ous attain-
ment we are indebted 10 cur noble COUNT :
woman, Miss Dix. We pray that her health
may be restored, for the world cannot yet af-
lord to let her depart Pitts5iGg Gazette.

He has a proper and well pro
portioned stature, without, however;
being too tall. He is rather of the
middle size, and somewhat thick set.
His complexion is not too florid; at
any rate, too much Iuddiness in
youth is seldom sign of longevity.
His hair approaches to the fair
rather than to the black. His skin
is strong but not tough. His head
is not too big; he has large veins in
the eXtrimeties; his shoulders are
round rather than fla; his neck is
not too long; his abdomen does not
project; his hands are large but
deeply cleft; his foot is rather thick
than long; his legs are firm and
round. He has Il broad, arched
chest and strong voice, and the fac
ulty of retaining his breath for long
time without difficulty.
There is harmony in all his parts.
His senses afe good, but not too
delicate; his pulse is SLOW and re-
gular. His stomach is excellent;
his appetite good and digestion easy.
The joys Of the table are to him of
Impotence; they tune his mind to
serenity, and his soul partakes in the
pleasure which they communicate.
He does not eat merely for the sake
of eating, but each meal is an hour
of daily festivity. He eats slowly
and has not too much thirst; the
latter being always a sign of rapid
self-cOnsumption.
He is serene, loquacious, active,
susceptible of JOY, love and hope, but
insensible to the impression of hatred
anger, avarice. His passions never
become violent or destructive. If
ever he gives way to anger, he ex-
periences rather a useful glow of
warmth,an artificial and gentle fever,
without an. overflow of the bile He
is fond also of employment, particul-
arly calm meditation and agreeable
speculations. He is an optimist,
friend to nature and domestic felicity
He has no thirst after honor or riches,
and banishes all thoughts of tomor-
row. HufeIand, the Psychologist.

Railway COnsolidatiOn-A Continental
Railway Predicted.


The New York press agree in regarding the
recent election by the Lake Shore and Michi-
gan Southren railroad as indicative of a grand
scheme Of consolidation, to reach from ocean
to ocean. We quote:
The change in the Lake Shore administra-
ton, at the annual meeting at Cleveland, yes
terday, and the association and sympathies Of
te new men brought into control, are believed
to point a combination, offensive and defeu-
sive, from New York to Omaha, the powerful
interests Of the New York Central, Lake Shore
and Rock Island being IN accord, and, indi-
rectly, the Chicago and Northwestern, IN the
same Control Ii this impression be true, it
would seem to contradict the rumor of last
winter, that the Pennsylvania company had
secured an alliance with the Rock Island At
all events, the managers of the last named
road, through large ownership recently ac-
guired III Northwestern, are supposed to com
mand the situation" west of Chicago.
The plans Of the great railroad king, Com
modOre Vanderbilt, are in process Of slow but
steady development. The Lake Shore cleo
ton at Cleveland, yesterday, Is another step
towards a grand consolidation of railroad from
the Atlantic to the Pacific coast.
There are, it is true, two corporations, but in
reality now only one great controlling man.

Chicago. Yesterdays Lake Shore election
was in the interest Of the Vanderbilt party.
Mr.. Torrance, the Commodores son-in-laTy,
will now retul from Europe and assume the
management in detail of the Lake Shore Road
The next step in the Vanderbilt programme
VIII probably take place in June, by placing
the Rock Island, Northwestern, and st. Paul
Roads-the three great railway corporations
of the West-under one management, that OF
Commodore Vanderbilt. This will form a
virtual consolidation Of these three lines,
practically consolidating them with the New
York Central and Lake Shore.
If Vanderbilt and his party have fully de-
termined upon consummating this scheme, If
is folly for the public to shut their eyes to the
future, or to argue that it cannot be carried
out, for the Commodore has llimitable re-
sources in cash, credit, power, influence, and
/ an iudomitable iron viii. The notion OF
thirty-three per cent. divided on New York
/ Central was laughed at when first broached,
! as a visionary suggestion. The Commodore,
! however, has paid not only thirty-three per
/ cent. on New York Central and Hudson Ri.
yer, but is now paying eight per cent cash
divided, both on the scrip and original stock
