Rufus Hatch of Broad street, New
York, has issued . circular showing
how Commodore Vanderbilt has
watered the New York Central and
Hudson River stocks by grand
total Of t48,684,2 200 Of new stock,
issued without . dollar Of new capital
paid in, or the addition Of . dollar to
the means Of running the road. The
waterings Of Mr.. Vanderbilt exceed
the whole capital stock Of both roads
ct the time he took charge Of them
BY u, ,3s8, 400, though Of the previous
stock nearly nine millions consisted
Of the watering which took place
at tho formation Of the New York
Central. The total waterings Of the
road before and during the rsign Of
Vanderbilt, amount 70 eb7, ,576, 700,
upon which tho people pay interest
and dividends annually to the amount
of 81, ,228, 900, and the great water
ing process still goes on. Tho water
ing now amounts to Sl30,264 TO the
mile for the main line Of these roads,
and the annual interest on tho came
is very nearly SIC, 900 per mile. The
waterings are to be continued -
long as increased charges can be
made TO continue. Mr.. Hatch thinks
it has been much easier 70 keep up
the rates Of charges whom wheat was
worth $3.50 per bushel than it now
is with wheat at 81 per bushel. Now
ill-requited, suffering labor rays the
burden and the whole nation groana
under it. Mr.. Hatch promises, in
future papers, to propose the remedy,
which he intimates will involve at
least some exercise Of the power Of
Congress "to regulate commerce
between the States"

Fish and Brains.

& Mark Twain thus prescribes for an
aspirant tor literary fame:
"Yes, Agassiz does recommend
asthors to eat fish because the phos-
phorus in it makes brains. So far,
you are correct. But I cannot help
you to q decision about the amount
you need to eat-at lcast not with
certainty. If the specimen compo,
sition you send is about your usual
average, I should Judge that perhaps
. couple of whales would be all you
would want for the present. Not
the largest kind, but simply good
middling sized whales"

Tiltonisras.

The following is part OF the odi-
torial, BY Tilton. in the ladspendent,
which osussd the rupture between
mum and Dowen:
"The greatest question which hae
been propounded TO modern society
is, what Is to be tho status, and what
the social fate, of persons who find
themselves married but not mated ?
The common and pusillanimous
answer is, To remain in . bondage
which it is ostracism to break. But
: just moral sense, piercing . sham
morality which is only another name
for custom, asks, What excuse can be
given to God, and to virtue, for keep
ing two human beings in an enforced
union which each knows to be degrad-
ing to both their souls ! A public
opinion which compels the juxtapo-
sition, or which forbids the discon-
nection, of an minated pair--who
are tied not knit-chained not we'd
ded--violates the ethics OF Him who,
preaching from the mountain top Of
morals, taught so terribly distinct
ion between love and lust. Maeriagc
without love 10 sin against God-a sin
which, like many an other sin,is to be
repented Of, ceased from and put
away. No matter with what solemn
ceremony the twain may hare been
made one, yet, when love departs
then marriage oeases, and divorce
begins. How shallow, then, 1t is t<
say, with the Roman Church, that
there shall be NO divorce, not ever
for feshly lust /; or, with the Episco
cal, no divorce except for this, ant
thil only; or, with the Presbyterian
no divorce except for this and fol
desertion or with the Methods
missionary boards, no divorce excep
for these and for heathenisw or Will
the civil laws of soMe of our States
no divorce except for few of tn
moro common and hideous offence
which daily report themselves to GU
courts"

AightIof the Empress Eugenie from
Paris, derived from = personal friend
who was present When the
Empress found that she was deserted
and that even her bell was not

seized . small satchel, thrust INTO it
some jewelry and coin, and accom-
panied by one lady, the ono left Of

was only when the man asked where
to drive that she recollected that she

Evans, the American dentist, and
gave the driver his address. The
pause, however, brought a crowd,
and as she and her friend seated
themselves . boy cried out, aThere
goes the Empress" This increased
her terror to such an extent that at
the first hack stand they passed she
stopped, hired another and drove to
DR.. Evans. The Doctor was not ct
homo and the Empress waited three
hours in his reception room. When
be returned, the Empress, intensely
agitated, implored him to protect her
saying that he was the only man in

deliberations were brief That night
in his carriage, the doctor Get of with
his illustrious fugitive, still accom-.
panied by her faithful female friend,
