THE COUNTY COURT AND THE
CAIRO AND vIScESNEs RAILROAD
The court has gone and done it-sure. 1.
has absolutely come TO o conclusion in re-
gard to the c. Sc V. X. r. matter, and such
a conclusion 1--WE will issue the bonds
ordered by the people to be issued" say
the court, "bu the work on the road must
be commenced in sixty days and be COM
pleted from Cairo to Vincennes within
two years; bat when the road is completed
from Cairo TO Mound City, then this
court will issue $4,000 Of said bonds
to said railroad company on
delivery Of $50, 900 of paid up stock, and
when the road is completed to johnson
county, $4,000, etc. but the bonds thus
issued shall not be valid unless the whole
road is completed in two years; and
even If the road is completed from
CaiBo TO Vncennes within the specified
time, no interest on them shall
become due until the court shall have
had ample time to collect the same. And
further, the stock issued TO the county for
these bonds are not to he liable to any as
sessments made by the company. We
modcstly suggest that this order is the
quintesccncc Of stupidity.

The ship" Britannia" which struck on
the rocks off the coast of Brazil. had on
board large quantity of Spanish dollars
as freight. They were packed in barrels,
and as soon as the ship struck, number
of these barrels were brought on deck, in
the hope that some of them might be
saved but soon it was discovered that the
vessel was sinking so very fast, that the
only hope for the crew was in taking at
once TO the boats. The last boat was about
to push off, when midshipman rushed
back to see if any one was still on board.
To his surprise, there sat a man on deck
with hatchet in his hand, with which he
had broken open several of the casks, the
contents of which he was now heaping up
"What are you doingq" shouted the
youth Escape for your life! Don't you
know the ship is fast going to piecess"
1.-The ship may" said the man; Il have
lived poor wretch all my life, and l am
determined to die rich." In vain the other
called him madman, an idiot. He was
answered only by flourish of the hatchet
and satisfied nod toward the glittering
heaps. II tell you the ship can't hold to-
gether another moment!" screamed the
midshipman, looking back at him from the a.;
vessels edge. "Quick, you can be saved" !"
"Not without leaving my gold!" roared
back the man, glaring wildly at him. "Go
your ways" The boat-load would wait no
longer, and he was left to his fate In a
few moments no ship was to be seen-only

PRECIOUS passion on the part ot the ruling
powers; and men and women who in all
important matters act kindly and justly to-
ward their families, may be deprived OF
their confidence by weakness of temper in
little things When we find lack of truth
in those about us, we should consider
whether it may not arise from the furious
ness of our own tempers, which scarcs
truth away from us. We should reflect
how fearful Il part angry employers may
have in the sin Of those falschoods which
immOdcratc fear Of them gives rise to.
One certaiuly meets with persons who
are vain Of their ill-temper, and of seeing
how it keeps people in ordcr-a vanity
they might share with any wild animal at
large. 1t is too often forgotten that
servants have such possessions as feelings,
affections, and sympathics; and what
wonder need there be it, under such treat
ment, their better nature should be per
vcrtcd and their character become Gun

genuine opinion of his or her several en-

his or her own conduct and its reward

A Tough Story.

SQUIRE X, a well-known barrister of
Bclknap, having occasion to transact some
business at the Ossipec Court, found few
days at his disposal which he determined
to spend in trouting in the mountain
brooks. In company with an artist friend,
he wandered several miles into the COun.

concluded to spend the night at a farm
house, if permission c1uld be obtained,
and return early next morning to the vii.
lage. A cherry. faced oil lady granted
permission to remain under her root that
night. Now, as 1t was necessary that our
legal friend should be at court at eight next
day, the good dame arose early and prcpar
ed breakfast by the light ofa tallow candle.
The anglers were seated at the table in a
dark corner Of the kitchen, while the old
lady was engaged over a scizzling frying
pan on the stove SLOWS this steak, T,

Don't know; why?' "By Jove, cant
chew the stuff" continued he. Wimng
the sweat from his forehead, he made
another effort to masticate the mouthful,
then shouted, My good woman, will you
be kind enough t. sec why this SIT ak is
SO very toughy" The pleasant-taccd old
lady appeared with her candle, wiped the
moisture from her spectacles, and lorked
at the plate, dropped the tallow caud(e
into the lawyers lap and shouted with
horror, Great State Of lIampshire! I've
