recognized the advantage Of the cars over
those of reduced gauges. In this respect it
was a decided success. But it was soon as
certained that these conveniences were sccur-
ed at the expense Of the companys pfosperi-
ty. The great weight Of the rolling stock
rendered frequent repairing indispensable, and
the wear and tear incident was immense
All Of these facts pointed very forcibly to-
ward the necessity Of some more economical
plan. And although the entire expenditure
Of the present change will reach about ST.
500 600, its value as an investment is already
conceded. The prosperity that has attended
the history of the road in the past is vouch-
safed to it in its new apparel. -
At 4 o'clock the first train passed over the
Ohio and Mississippi railroad, narrow gauge,
| destined for Vincennes, with merry party
Of invited guests, and some Of the leading
officers on board. The work was found to
have been Of the same quality as the speed.
The train averaged twenty miles an hour du-
ring the whole distance between this city and
the point of destination, thus testing the
work and assuring the public that the open

| St. Louis and Louisville will leave at their

Thus was this remarkable scheme consumma
ted, as faithfully executed as it was clearly
designed. It is the neatest job of its kind

certainly accrue, it is reasonable to predict a

ledgment that it Is necessary, or at least that
it is impossible to suppress IT,
The St. Louis view Is merely the view OF the
Psychologist. Is the moral view to be left out
altogether Well; all we can say is, that this
St. Louis legislation does leave it out substan-
italy. IA regular method of gratifying lust Ia
determined upon-of the wickedness, OF the
folly of the madness of this qualification OF
the coarsest of human prOpensties, no heed IL
taken. Ample opportunity is to be afforded to
every man who desires to sin, and the Council
of st. Louis promises the sinner immunity from
the only penalty which might deter him-the
penalty which God and Nature have enacted
against immortality 1t is unnecessary to urge
this consideration, because the scheme must
prove a failure. There Is no security for even
the immunity offered.
Alas for the courtesan! There is no legisla-
ton which can make her calling different from
what it is now. From the moment she enters
upon 1t, her steps must be downward into the
nit of despair and death. Soon she passes
that point beyond which there is hardly q
hope. Kind voices may call to her, but she
will not heed them; hands will be stretched
to help her, but she will put them aside;
prayers will be offered for her. but she will
refuse to have them answered. Gradually the
last traces of gilded and meretriciOus pros
perity disappear, and then come the paupers
death and the paupers grave. Is not this q
warning which every young woman still vir-.
tuous should take to HEARTY

Italy with the fash Of thOsS now historic eyes
and hair. The patient drudees worked over
their photographs, and at last finished q statue
that resembled the original, and was aOt gro
tesduely false-but was as lifeless and soul
less, as VOID of thought and meaning, as all
journey work inevitably is. With this Miss
Roam comes homo. The statue is set up. Mr.
Delane. who, of course, by virtue OF beng
Secretary of the Interior. is infallible in things
aesthetic, accepts it-Miss Winnie gets her cash,
and the nation gets its pure white block OF
Carrara marble.
Now, although this reckless trifing with the
national dignity cannot be regarded without
disgust and Indignation, it might be passed IN
silence. in the hopclessness OF rightlng the
wrong. But these ignorant pretenders and
their vulgar partisans insist upon being praised
and admired; and if single voice is raised
in dissent from the chorus of claqueurs, 1t Is
denounced as opposed to woman's enfranchise-
ment and American art. Before long another
effort will be made to repeat the unblushlng
game of voting this young Lady money enough
to hire q statue made in Italy of some other
of our dead heroes. If any spark of con-
science or responsibility in matters of taste
remains in either House, we hope some ef-
feotive protest may BIO made against
this outrage upon the noble art which
has received its most superb illustration
in modern days at tho hands of Amer
lean genius. II is not in the interest OF
our national art to give its prizes to those
who have never cultivated it. 1t is not to the
honor of American womanhOOd to seek Its
representatives among tho successful In
trigants of the lobby.

"Mr. Hutchings, of the Yosemite Yalley.s
having had the benefit of full statement.
in our Washington correspondence, of the
grounds wherein he lays claim to a quarter
section of that valley, we are impeled to give
him the benefit of oar opinion-whifh very
decidedly imports that his claim afordBaid is
not only groundless but impudent. IN our
judgment, the whole Presumption system is
nuisance and q nursery of fraud, which Con-
gress ought promptly to abolish-the Home
stead law answering every good purpose
which Presumption was intended to subserve.
But Presumption run mad would not SUFFICE to
cover this claim to quarter-section of one OF
the greatest natural wonders of the world.
We are cOmforted by lively faith that Con-
gress could not (since the cesson to Cali

it would, and would not if it could.
