Our RaiirOatl---The Routes
between Dundas and
WalliDOIis.

Last week we promised to
publish in this paper a commu-
nication from the Gallipolis
Journal, signed "Frlcnd of the
Road" at Buckeye Furnace, in
which the Little Raccoon Val
ley route was favored for loca.
ting the road from Gallipolis
to Dundas, but we have since
read an able article on the con-
struction of the Railroad in
the Gallipols Bulletin and the
journal, written by President
LANGLEY, and another by
Friend Of the Road No. g."
we have concluded to omit it.
We copy the following from
President LANGLEY's article:
"All practicable routes will be
Carefully examined by COM
''petent engineers and the best
judgment of the Directors
with the aid of the engineers
"will be exercised in making
the most judicious selection
'for the location of the road,
"all things considered for or
against the different routes.-
Cali want the road, but it can
"not run past every mans
"house or place Of business. -
"Hence the best route for tbe
accommodation of the great
"est number of persons, and
"the greatest amount of busi-
"ness at the smallest cost, is the
"proper route"
That is the way to talk
about the two routes between
the points named above, and
President LANGLEY deserves
the highest praise for thus
speaking of the matter. In
his article he also makes two
quotations, one from John G.
Davis, Civil Engineer, in a
treatise on the construction
and management of Railways,
and fron N n. Gillespie, Pro-
assa- q Civil Engineering, in

The New York Democrats
propose to flank the bayonet
election law in that State. A
bill has been introduced in the
Legislature, which proposes tc
change the time Of holding the
election of State officers to the
first Teusday in October. As
the Congressional law only au-
tllorizes the use of troops al
polls where some officer of the
general government is being
voted for, the State elections
held on the first Tuesday Of
October will be entirely free

Butler didn't happen to bt
present. Of course, all the
best seats were selected during
his absence, and he had to take
a back seat, which did not sui
him. When he put in an ap'
pearance he began looking fol
a more eligible position.-
Among the fortunate ones al
the drawing were the negro
members from South Carolina
De Large and Rainey. They
selected seats near General
Banks, on the left of the
Speaker, and about half way
up the hall, in a commanding
position. In scanning the hall
Buffers eye rested upon the
seat occupied by De Large
He Immediately coveted it
and going to the negro asked
him if he had any objection:
to exchanging seats. The ne

addressed him, modestlY in
quired:
"Where is your seat, Mass
Butler?"
"Back there" said Ben
pointing to a seat away in the
rear.
"Well, I'll see about it," sale

In the meantime Sergeant-at

Rainey was a member of tn

"Mr. Twichell," he said, "

Northern Pacific Railroad
Bonds.

Bonds.
Among the bestsecurities for
investment at the present day,
undoubtedly, first mortgage
railway bonds hold a high po'
sition; and those to which we
call public attention in this ar
ticle are par excellence in this
line,
Their issue is made upon
such a solid basis as to leave
no question as to their safety,
and they yield large rates of
interest.
The national Importance of
the Northern Pacific Railroad
was believed to be SO great that
Congress granted the most stu
pendous land subsidy to the
Company, to aid in its con-
struction, Of which we have
any knowledge; which with iu-
dicious management, will in it.
self be fully equivalent to a
direct guaranty of the pay
ment of the bonds themselves.
This. land grant, in area, is an
empire in itself, amounting to
$4,000 acres per mile, and an
aggregate of over 10000, 1000
(sixty millions) of acres, and is
of more varied and valuable
physical character than exists
elsewhere in the world.
The testimony of scientific
officers of the United States
army who have surveyed and
reported upon all portions of
this belt, set forth ivariably its
richness of soil, mildness and
salubrity of climate, its CON-
parative exemption from snow,
its capacity of supporting a
dense population, in positive
and uniform accord. There is
no section of the world where
the certainty Of larger crops Of
wheat, barley, oats, potatoes,
and other roots is assured; and
west of the Rocky Mountains,
on this belt, apples pears,
plums, cherries, and other
fruits are abundantly produced.
Our readers must bear in
mind the fact that the snow
falls on the belt traversed by
this Road are extremely light,
rarely exceeding two feet in
depth in the highest attitudes
along the line, and much light.
er than in the Middle and
New England States. This
fact is fully attested by man
and beast. The pasturage of
this belt is marvel to travel
lers. The domestic cattle of
Montana, Idaho, Dakota and
Washington Territories range
out all winter and are fat in
March. Mexican horses, that
are brought here by Indians,
are turned out to shift for
themselves on the range from
latitude As to So, and come in
fat and strong in the spring.
Portions Of this Road will pass
through the winter homes Of
buffalo, elk, deer and antelope,
which are always fat in the
spring. Trains of pack mules
thrive through the winter with
out forage while subjected to
considerable service.
There is no question as to
the mildness of the climate, the
richness of the soil, and the
feasibility of operating daily
trains over this Road the year

sources Of this belt, veins of

A SAD CASE.

A HOME DESTROYED BY FIRE-THE
CORPSE OF THE FATHER BURIED TO cRsIp.
About twenty minutes past one o'clock
yesterday morning fire broke out in a
three story brick building, owned by the
estate of Solomon Cans, deceased, and
located on Perth street, above Parrish,
and one Of the results of the confagra.
ton is as sad as any that occurred dur
ing the great Western confagration.-
The first floor of the building was occupi-
ed by two families, one being that of
Charles Malone. consisting of wife and
three children of tender years On Satur-
day afternoon Malone died from the small
pox, and his little daughter was suffering
from the same disease. The mother, fear
fui that the remaining children might be
taken Ill unless the corpse Of the father
was inferred, fastened to three under
takers, who refused to do this final SER
vice. They advised her to see the Guard
ians of the Poor. She saw the Guardians
of the Poor and they referred her to the
Board of Health. Before the Board of
Health she preferred her desire, and was
referred to the Coroner. Failing to see
the latter she returned home.
When the fire broke out at the time
mentioned above a large crowd was at
tracted to the scene of the confagration,
but when it became rumorcd that the pesti-
lence was in the house the crowd quickly
dispersed, and the poor woman was left
with her three children. and nothing but
night dresses to protect them, upon the
sidewalk, without friends or shelter. The
corpse of the father was burned to crisp
Sergeant Wartman on arriving at the
scene, gathered some old horse blankets
and wrapped them around the nearly
half crazed widow and her freezing child
ren, and had them conveyed to the sub
station Of the Fifth Police District, Eighth
and South streets. tr8
The cause of the fire is not yet defuite
ly known. One of the inmates of the
building says it was caused by the explo-
sion of a coal oil lamp; another that it
originated from some infected clothing
being burned on the floor, aud another,
that an intoxicated person set fire to some
curtains of a bed while carrying light
ed candle unsteadily about. The matter
will be einvestigated by Acting Fire Marshal

applied to his grass. He had thirty-t three
acres planted in one day by one man, run
ming planter that planted two rows at
once, and having change of teams !
understood him to say he had one hun.
dred and sixty five acres planted, titled
and harvested by one man, using two
span of horses alternately. On reflection
| believe the man did not gather all
this crop; though as the harvesting may
continue from some time in August, when
the grain is in the milk, to near the end
of Winter, that would not have been i'm
possible, Swine pasture on clover through
Spring and early Summer, have Corn cut
up and thrown them as soon as the ears
have filled, and thenceforth till they are
ripe for market. Many farmers feed so
long as they have Corn to spare, thus
converting their great staple entirely in
to Beef and Pork, so that it will bear
transportation to distant markets.
i am daily asked to remark the rapid
growth of Western cities and villages, as
though mere bulk were an Indictment to
admiration. [ cannot so regard it. If
these clties-embryo and full hedged-
were thus expanded by the introd duction
and successful establishment of Manufac-
lures, L could rejoice in their enlarge
ment. Half dozen Wooden or Cotton
factories in each of them, with as many
founderies, shoe factories, &c, would
Justify their growth and sanguine antici.
pations. If they are to live mainly by
Trafhc-by exchanging the farmers pro
ducts for those of other climes and coun-
tries-they are quite large enough already,
and their further growth would not pro-
mote the general welfare. These cities
ought to establish and encourage Home
Manufactures, even though their capi-
talists might not directly realize as large
profits therefrom as they are now making
by land speculation and usury. They
ought to establish Manufactures if only to
back up their large investments in real
estate. Were Iowa this day making her
own Wares and Fabrics, her cities would
have u far broader base for prosperity aud
growth than they now have, while her
farmers would sell Fruits and Vegetables
to far greater profit than they now sell
Wheat and Corn. These may be very
stale truths; yet they need to be retained
until needed and deferred to. H. G.

The Power of Kindness.

In all the daily things of common life
we may see the working of this great law
OF Love. Suppose there are two child.
rem one of them has brutal father, who
starves and beats him the other has a
loving father, who cares we'll for him and
treats him kindly. Which of these two
children will turn out best, and grow up
to be comfort to his parents? Suppose,
again, there are two teachers one of
them tries to teach by brute force, and
fogs his lessons into his scholars, till they
hate the very site of book, and always
run away from school when they have a
chance the other teacher makes his les
sons so pleasant, by the kindness of his
manner and by the interest he himself
takes in them, that his pupils like to learn
and remember them, aud come to school
willing ly. Which Of those two teachers
has the most trouble ? and which of them
succeeds the best? 1t is the same with
our fellow creatures, the animals Treat
them kindly, and they will give US their
love teach them kindly, and they will
give US their service. Every day of our
short lives We can do something to add to
the happiness of those that live with us
and about US, or to lessen their suffering.
