DIAMOND. Cur DIAMoND.-Thoss
two eminent railroad managers
Messrs. Thomas A. Scott, of the
Pennsylvania Central, and John w
Garrett, of the Baltimore and Ohio
lately locked horns In Washin gton
and the former, after Q protracted
desperate contest, triumphed. He
asked of Congress permission to
run his trains Cover q sGhsidiary
road) into the heart of the Federal
city, through public grounds of de-
cided value WITHOUT paying cent
for the privilege /; and Congress gave
him all he wanted. So he can run
from Philadelphia into Washing
ton, asking no odds of the Balti-
more and Ohio or of It's Washing
! ton branch.
We now hear that Mr.. Garrett
has countered this rap by getting
through the late New Jersey Leg
islature q charter for q short, APP
parently Insignificant road whereby
through connections, already bar
gained for, the Baltimore and Ohio
may run its trains right into Jersey
City, IN utter independence of the
Pennsylvania Central and it's bench
man, the Camden and Amboy.
More succinctly, each of the two
railroad Kings has secured a clear
track from the Hudson to the Po-
tomac, and will soon be running
through trains from the commercial
to the political metropolis in unem-
barrassed competition with his
great rival.
Most heartily do we congratulate
the public on these facts. We have
no shadow of ill-will to any of our
great railway corporations; on the
contrary, we wish them all health
and prosperity; but we cannot
doubt. that competition between
them is wholesome, and we rejoice
that the reign of Monopoly over
Jersey draws to a close. We trust
those who attend the next inaugu-
ration of President will have their
choice of two through lines of rail-
road, and that neither of them will
be deareI or less commodious than
the present.-[N. Y. Tribune.

THE BOY THAT HAD NO REMARKA
-. @ BILE QUALITIES.

Most boys who "get into the
newspapers are very remarkable
boys. ..a.s-. ...
Joe had nothing about his looks.
or actions, or color, that attracted
the particular attention of any body.
When he first breathed the vital
air he was simply boy-baby, with
two hands, two feet, two eyes, two
ears, one mouth, and one nose. He
did not laugh, and crow, and sit up
right. as young geniuses DO in their
young l,abyhood, but he slept, and
walked, and ate (baby-food, OF
course), and cried like any common
baby.
When he grew older there were
no uncommon Developments, ex-
cept that he was fat, and healthy,
and heavy. -
Nobody congratulated his mother
ON raising q future President, nor
applauded the bright genius that
sparkled in the baby's eyes. The
gossipers looked wonderingly al
each other as the tender mother
watched over her baby boy, provid-
ed for his comforts, and pressd him
to her war N bosom.
He grew to boyhood, but he was
only a common boy. He learned
his A B c with difficulty, and was
slow in learning to read. His
teacher thought he never would
"get through the multiplication Ia
ble.', But he never forgot it. {.
When the boys went a fishing,
Joe went too, but he was slow in
| HE hanE- ond limo roo6vy
The other boys were on and in and
around the lake before his hook
was fairly settled in the water. 'ToO
slow to move" the boys would say
"He'll sit there expecting the fish to
come to him." 1t was even So; he
remained stationary and fixed but
when night came, somehow his
basket was always full, while many
of the bright, talking geniuses went
home with the sad intelligence thai
the fish "wouldn't bite"
Joe's home was full of life, and
noise, and hustle of intelligent old.
err children and bright younger
ones. Joe found himself, and ev'
eryt body else found him, solitary
and alone, taking very little notice
of the stir around him.
When he grew to be a man thu
bustling drive-aheads laughed a
his Flooding; but by some meant
he seldom made a mistake, and
though he did not seem to accomp
lish as much in 8 week as many
others did in a day, yet at the enc
of the year there was always some
thing tangible IN his results, while
j the work of those who seemed Il
utterly, outstrir him at first, ended
in demolished air-castles.
He has passed the meridian o
life. Men eminent. IN the profes
sion respect his judgment. Bust
ness men coming upon the stage O
action, long to learn the secret o
his success. The bank leans upol
him to carry it through the trYini
crisis, merchants and manufacturer
lean upon him to save them from
bankruptcy. Steady, constant, ant
hard study. made him a scholar
persevering industry, accompanie'
with economy, raised him to opu
lence; close observation and delhi
crate reflection cultivated a SCUM
judgment, and honesty and integri
, ty secured for him the confdenc

GREELEY ON THE OPPOSITION TO
GRANT.

The objections made to President
Grant are very we'll answered by
Horace Greeley. The following
Gle written by Mr.. Greeley ard pub
lished in the Tribune about one year
ago:
upon Gen. Grants accession to
the Presidency. q great number OF
those who had supported his cleo
ton, with some who had not, sought
Office at his hands, or expected him
to bestow it unasked. He was un-

of claims to pensions, &C., had ex-
cused the retention of hundreds in

alike demanded that they be dis
missed, to their own very general
disgust. Their lamentations, ming
led with the bowls of the disap-

has thereby incurred some intense

will prove at least equally vital.
We shall hear lamentations after

those whose wish is father to the
thought; but the American people
let them pass unheeded. Their

RELEASE OF AN INNOCENT MAN
The Providence journal states that
James O'Neil, who has served more
than eight years in the Rhode Island
State Prison, for a cr ime which is
now proved that he was entirely
innocent of, was liberated on Fri
day. TIE poor fellow passed the
outer door for the first time since
his sentence, like one in q dream,
and as he reached the street, drew
q long, deep breath, with the heart
felt remark, How sweet the air
smellsw After he began to realize
that he was really released, he said
that he suffered more when told he
was free than when he heard the
sentence of imprisonment for life
passed against him. He was taken
in charge by a brother-in-law, who
lives in Philadelphia, and left with
him on Saturday for his home in
that city. The confinement has
worn upon him, SO that his mind is
now in weak state, but it is hoped
freedom will strengthen him.

rule among newspapers to publish

something unique, and would no

SACRIFICE AND CULTURE.

The truth lie, that the whole cul.
ture of the world is built on sacri'
flee; and all the nobleness in the
world lies in that. To show that, il
is only necessary to point to those
classes of mea and spheres of action
which exert the widest influence
upon the improvement and welfare
of mankind. They will all be found
to bear that mark.
Look, first, at the professional
teachers of the world-the authors,
artists, professors, schoolmasters,
elergymen. In returns of worldly
goods, their services are paid less
than any other of equal ability and
accomplishment in the world.
lions; some English bishops and
Roman prelates have been rich and
some authors and artists have gain
I'd a modest competence. More are
doing it now and yet more will.
But the great body of intellectual
labOrers has been poor. The in
struction of the world has been car
ried on by perpetual sacrifice. A
grand army of teachers-authors,
artists, schoolmasters, professors,
heads of colleges-have been
through ages carrying on the war
against ignorance; but no triumph
al procession has been decreed to it !;
no spoils of conquered provinces
haYe come to its Golfers; no crown
imperial has invested by pomp and
power. In lonely watchtowers the
fires of genius have burned, but to
waste and consume the lamp of life
which they gave to the world.
1t is NO answer to say that the
victims of intellectual toll, broken
down in health or fortune, have
counted their work a privilege and
a joy. AS well deny the martyrs
sacrifice because he has joyed in his
Integrity. And many of the worlds
intellectual benefactors have been
martyrs. Socrates died in prison,
as q public malefact0r; for the heal
ing wisdom he offered his people
deadly poison was his reward.
Homer had lot, SO obscure at least,
that nobody knew his birthplace;
and indeed some modern critics are
denying that there ever was any
Homer. Plato travelled back and
forth from his home in Athens to
the court of the Syracusan tyrant,
regarded indeed and feared, but
prosecuted and in peril of life.
Cicero shared q worse fate. Dante,
all his life knew, as he expressed
it
show salt was q strangers bread,
How hard the path still up and down to
tread
A strangers stairs"
Copernicus and Calico found
no more profitable than
Dante found poetry. Shakespeare |
had home, but too poorly endow- |
ed to stand long in his name after
he left; the income upon which he |
retired was barely two hundred |
pounds q year; and so little did his
know or think Of
him, that the crits hunt in vain for
the details of his private life. "The

banks of the Ayon.-Old and New.
