ness is such that the company intends
putting on another boat to run in con.
nection with the Dick johnson on the
Tennessee river trade. The freight

This is an important station to the
railroad company, and great MERIT is
due those who have established this
trade in this remote region. The pea

here to day, to be shipped North
Several acres have been cultivated,
this year, in this region, and have
proved to be very successful. Farm
ers are making arrangements TO culti-
vate this crop more extensively the
coming year, they deem it one of the
most profitable crops they can raise,
realizing net gain of from fifty to
sixty dollars per acre, and can be cul-
tivats at about the same expense as
corn. From the present indications of
things, business might be considerably
increased at this place, and it appears
to me a good hotel could be made very
profitable, there being a considerable
amount of travel by river and railroad
that have to lay over here. w,

many men who are worth many millions
OF dollars. The Astors, the Stewards.
the Vanderbilts, and the Drews of New
ork land the men of superfuous wealth
IN other parts of the country, have it in
their power to settle some of the most
important questions that are now up.
ana are likely to arise, between capital
and labor. They also have it in their
power to make their names immortal
as benetactors of their country. and of
that great interest out of whose nrodrc.
tive energy every dollar they hold has
been drawn.
The superfiuous wealth held in This
country would found ten thousand
scholarships in the various colleges of
the United States for the poor, furnish
every town with respectable library
and reading room, give sittings in
churches to ten millions of people who
have none, and found hospitals and
funds of relief for labor to meet all
emergencies. Nay, what is more, and
many instances to labor the capital
necessary to secure the profits upon its
own expenditures. Superfuous wealth
can certainly do all this. Is there any
man who holds it, and who, placing his
hand upon his heart and lifting his
face, dares to say that he has no duties
that lie in these directions?
Let US take very simple case for the
illustration of our point. In certain
Western State there is a firm engaged
IN the manufacture and sale of lumber.
They own immense tracts of pine lands,
employ twelve hundred laborers. turn
out seventy-fve million feet of lumber
annually, and make half a million of
dollars every year, more or less. Now,
one hundred thousand dollars will nav
them royalty for their time, an equal
sum will give a large percentage on
their capital invested, and yet not one
half their income is exhausted. Here
are three hundred thousand dollars left
which go to the accumulations of super
tiuous wealth. Now, for these employ
ers to imagine that their duties to these
twelve hundred Iaborers are all done
when they have paid them their wages,
is shamefully to fail to find the divine
significance of opportunities. To edu-
cate, to Christianize, to develope, to
make happy and self-respectful, to found
homes for and protect and prosper these
people, is the office of the superfuous
wealth won from the profits Of their
work. We venture to say that in no
community in which the superfiuous
wealth is used in this way win there
ever be any questions between wealth
and labor that are hard to settle.
The holders of such wealth, wherever
they may be, bear mainly in their
handsthe responsibility of whatever
difficulties may hereafter arise between
wealth and labor in the United States.
Let them look to it and be wise.-Dr.

Row at an Onera.

There was very racy scene at the
Royal Opera, Berlin, one night during
the first week in February. There is a
great jealousy between Frau Lucca and
Frau Mallinger, and fierce has been
the struggle between their respective
friends and admirers. That night mat
tiers came to q crisis. The piece was
The Marriage of Figaro The battle
ct disapprobation and applause increased
IN fierceness from act to act, and at last
1T became impossible to carry on the
performance Frau Lucca then boldly
stepped forward to the foot lights, and
rated the public in good set terms. She
told them that if they kept on in that
style she would leave off singing for
them altogether. In the meantime,
frau Mallinger, less courageous had
sunk into chair, and was shedding
floods of tears. The public at last be-
came quiet, and the performance was
brought to an end. But the alterations

An AstOniShed Bishop.

The following is told of Bishop E,

Visiting one of the churches of his
diocese, he requested that the children

put this question rather suddenly to the
little boy who stood trembling at the
head of his class, Who made the

replied, 81 didn't"

Promised Revolution in TelegraphH.

A line is in course of construction be-
tween Washington and New York for
the operation of the automatic tele
graph instruments of Mr. Little. 1t is
similar to the Wheatstone instrument
In England, which has solved the Ques-
ton of cheap telegraphy. An American
gentleman who spent the last summer
in England made a careful examination
of the Wheatstone instrument. He
says that it was the favorite instrument
in the operating room in London, where
all others were used, and is rapidly com
ing into daily use. Daily returns are
kept of the number of kilograms sent
by every instrument, at the central
Office, London. The returns of five
days of a Morse, Hughes and Wheat
stone instrument, each working about
200 miles, was as follows: The average
number of messages per hour was,
Morse, 81; Hughes, AZ; Wheatstone,
81 Number of words, Morse, 969:
Hughes, Alb; Wheatstone, 3,412.
The Little instrument is unquestion-
ably an improvement upon the Wheat
stone. Mr.. Craig, formerly of the AS
ISOLATED Press of New York, is one of
the principal gentlemen engaged in
establishing this new and rapid system.
Mr.. Harrington, ex-Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury, formerly United States
Minister to Switzerland, is also one of
the company, and is devoting himself
asssiduously to the development of the
Little instrument. Mr.. Harrington
says it will transmit 10000 words an
hour, over one wire. 1t will do the
wor k of twenty Morse instruments pro-
viding the difficulty of preparing and
receiving the dispatches can be over
come. A gentleman engaged in the
business of telegraphing, who has ex-
amined the working of the Little in
strument is very much impressed with
it. He saw it operate, and expresses
the opinion that if it will do one-half of
what is claimed for it that the present
system of telegraphing will be entirely
revolutionized, and the prices be re
duced solow that yerybody will employ
the telegraph instead of the mail for
correspondence. Already that gigantic
monopoly, the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, is trembling before this
Little instrument. An effort is making
by that company, it is reported, to pur-
chase it in order to control the business.
Whether this latest attempt at absorp-
ton will succeed, remains to be seen.

An Eagle that Swooped in the Wrond
s .-.s-.0 ~ Place.

A Manhattan Kan paper says: A
few days ago an eagle descended upon
the head of a little Swede boy, about 10
years old, who lives near the head of
the Wild Cat and undertook to carry
him off. He fastened his talons in the
boys cap, but Inc youngster, instead of
rising into mid air, caught the eagle,
and after long and severe struggle
succeeded in killing him. He measured
eight feet from tip to tip. When the
lad reached home he was taken to task
for not bringing in his assailant alive,
but replied, 81 don't going to let him
eat me up.''

Another Terrible Marine Disaster


The steamship Benvie was burned at sea on
the 18th ultimo. She was on her way from New
York to Aspinwall with cargo of freight and
one hundred and twentyseVen passengers and
when about one hundred and fifty miles from
Eleuthera Island she was discovered to be on fire
between decks. Steam and water were imme-
diately turned on, but the steam pumps after
few revolutions broke down, and could not be
worked Captain Maury then ordered the hatch
es battencd down, hoping thereby to smother
the fire, and at the same time fire extinguisherS
were used between the decks and the steam kept
on The fire gained, however, rapidly and at
clock Capt. Maury fearing an explosion
from the powder stored in the hold The remain
ed by the ship any longer, ordered the six boats
launched, and the passengers and crew began
to embark at 1900 clock Capt Maury was
forced to leave the ship, being the last one on
board One of the boats was capsized after
leaving the ship,and from seven to ten inmates,
including two women, were drowned. After
sunrise fresh breeze sprung up. The capszcd
boat was righted and bailed out and reached
Cat Island in safety. The other boats, except
one, reached Eleuthera Island, distance of one
hundred and fifty miles from the scene of the
disaster. The missing boat has not been heard
rom, but it is supposed it was picked up by
puSSluS FCSSel d. III Culpty UUdl was SCeu duTllt
near Eleuthera Island with life prcserver in
it. One Of the boats in attempting to land at
Elcuthera Island was capsized, and nine per-
sons were drownded including Mrs Branden and
her children At l:30 0 clock the Benvile ex-
plodcd and Immediately sunk. When the fire
was first discovered it was supposed to be in
the forehod where a large quantity of powder
cargo was stored but it proved to be between
decks over the boilers and among the cargo.
The passengers and crew lost all their baggage,
and saved nothing except the clothes they had
on.
Captain Maury reports that the people of
Nassau treated the shipwrecked crew kindly,
and administered to their wants Vice Consul
Saunders has cared for the seamen. Anna
Brain, one of the rescued became insane, and
was left at Eeutbera because she could not be
found when the party left for Nassau.

THE WASHINGTON AND ONO RAILROAD
At the meeting held at Round Hill, Loudoun
County, on Thursday last Mr.. Mckenzie stated
that the graduations and masonry on the W. &
Q. r. r., will soon be completed to Purcellville,
three miles from Hamilton, when he hoped to lay
the ties and rails to that point; that the company
was anxious to extend the road to Round Hill
three miles further as also to Snickersville at
the foot of the mountain; that the cost of this
extension, including every thing, to Smokers
vile, would not be far from two hundred and
twenty-five to two hundred and fifty thousand
too much for them to cooperate to the extent
of forty or fifty thousend dollars to carry it to
Round Hill and Snickcrsville; that it was pro-
posed to give them the first mortgaged bonds of
the company, gold bonds, interest per cent,
payable in April and October, at 800 for every
500, or 5000 for $1,000 that he considered
them as good bonds as any in the United States;
that he did not know, but he was afraid it was
the case in Loudoun, as it was in many parts of
Virginia, the people had more confidence in
bOnuS OF rallOaoS AT distance, than IN those
they all had an interest in, in their own State;
whose managers they knew and had known for
many years-and that in his opinion if parties
had aided this road, by having confidence in its
managers, as they had 10 those they knew moth
thing about, this road would have been at Snick-
ersve long ago; he stated that with the CO.
operation of the landowners along the line,
some of whom he knew had Means the road
would progress rapidly; but in any event the
company would do the best they could to pro-
coed with the work.

that he will not encounter opposition either

numbers, nevertheless we conceive it to be an
imperative duty to leave no stone unturned to
