= The New Orleans Picuynnc tells the
story Of a printer, who, when lis fellow work
men went out to drink beer, during the work
ing hours, put in the bank the exact amount
which he would have spent had he gone on,
to drink. lie kept to this resolution for five
years. lie then examined his bank account
and found that he had on deposit s52l.SG.
In the five years he had not lost day from
ill:heath. Three out of five of his fellow
workmen had, in the meantime become
drunkards, we're worthless MS workmcn, and
were discharged, The watcr.driukcr then
bought out the printing Office, went on en-.
larging his business, and in twenty years
from the time he began to put by his money,
was worth 100000. Tho story, whether
new or old, teaches lesson which every
young mechanic should lay to heart

Blue Ridge Road.

OAoV Niut5o AVuu'
The Senate failed to pass the to repeal
the Act of 1868 granting additional aid to
the Blue Ridge Railroad, by a constitutional
majority. Since the proposition was made,
information has been received that one mil.
hon OF The bonds have been sold in New York
Tor seventy five cents on the dollar. The
Act permitted thc sale of one million without
restriction, requiring tho three remaining
millions to be negotiated at par. WurrrE
MORE has introduced other bills which, if
passed, will defeat the Act Of 1868, and for
the present effect suspension of The work.
In the meantime, the bill to aid tho Grecu-
vile Koad, which passed the House last week
has been substituted in the Senate bya bill
to consolidate the Grccnvilc and Blue Ridge
roads tho State postponing its first mortgage
and removing the restrictions imposed by tho
Act of 1868 on the roaGs Such We gather
to be the present status of these roads, and
the measures proposed to aid or defeat them.
The Charleston NcwS and RcpuLiicun call
this consolidated scheme new dodge of the
ring, and denouncc the act as not second in
rascality to the original Grconvillc swindle
The fhonir supports, or scems to approve,
the new idea. We believe, under the pres
ent administration, the people are ready to
oppose any and every measure requiring tho
appropriation of money, however pronotivc
of their interests This is not because they
do not desire to see the Blue Ridge Road built
or any measure likely to promote The interests
of the State carried out, but because, Judging
from the past, they believe the money 50 ap.
propriatcd would be squandcrod, and tho pur-
poses Of its appropriation suffered to fail
The State liabilities would be increased to no
advantage Of her citizens. We want aud
need the completion OF the Blue Ridge Road.
The Interests of the State, as VIC believe, dc
mand it. Bat would the continuance of the
Act of 1868 secure its completion, or merely
increase the State debt without any bcncft
n5s- The House Of Representatives Of the
Congress Of the United States has passed u
bill providing for the appointment of three

the South who were engaged against the
Federal Government, the bill, we suppose,
does not fit his case, though he may have fo,l
the Union army from his private stores II
this be correct, there will be few in our State
who can bc benefited by such law. Our
people believed their first Allegiance was due
to the State, and witI scattering exception
SO rendered it; and the same is true generally
Of the Southern people.
