PROGRESS OF ENTRRPEISE.

With railways increasing their mi
leage at a rote of twenty per cent. per
annum, and their tonnage etwenty-three
per. cent. per annum, the young and
vigorous element which is now con-
ducting the most important business
interest of the age has scarce an idea
of the condition of affairs as they eX-
listed thirty years ago. These men no
doubt remember well the sensation
they experienced the first time they
heard the shrek of q locomotive, but
their sensations were in no wise of
such character as those which Fl led
the ears and hearts of older men who
had been watching the progress of
events with breathleSs interest in
their declining years, and who at last
were gratified to see a beginning of
the end promised them by long cher
ished hope.
One who is not familiar with the
condition of commerce, manufacture,
and transportation, as they existed
even a quarter of a century ago, in
this country, can form no idea of the
magnitude of the later developments.
The tedious climbing of mountains
in coaches, the slow movement of
canal boats, the small number of
steamboats, and sailing vessels on our
rivers and lakes as compared with the
present, and the one man then who
Travelled on business to the thousand
who now travel on business, are but
slight illustl atoms of the change, the
progress. the achievements and the
wealth which has resulted from the
application of American enterprise
and American genius.
Then the arrival and departure of
sixty stage coaches at Pittsburgh
would have been considered mighty
wonder. Now the arrival and depar-
ture of sixty passenger trains at Pitts
burph is no wonder at all. Then the
movement of one hundred passengers
per day between Buffalo and Chicago
made business brisk and the Great
West a thriving, promising country.
Now the movement OF one thousand
passengers per day, or even five thou
sand, does not effect the public pulse
any stronger. A ton of mail per day
on any mail route was considered
enormous. Twenty-Five tons per day
is now considered but tritie on many
routes.
And when we know that every
branch of commercial and industrial
business has increased in a ratio to
correspond with the swell of travel,
we get faint glimpse of the extent
of the progress of the affairs of the
country. Electric lips hold converse
between Boston and New Orleans,
and steam, engineering and powerful
machinery supply our entire popula-
ton in day with that which could
not before be supplied in twelve
months.
The young blood of to day is apt to
look upon its predecessors with feel
ing of contempt, as if more was not
done for want of energy and a just
of the greatness of the
future; but the time of those years |
long past was spent in paving the
way for the magnificent present-in |
giving birth to means, and brains,
and enterprise which should be used |
for the development of the future
And the end is not yet.--American
Manufacturer.

1t is we'll known, for Frederick
Douglass himself has sounded the
alarm, that unusual efforts are being
but forth by the Roman Catholics to
convert the Southern negroes to the
faith. Most of these simple-hearted
children of sorrow are now attached
to the Methodist and the Baptist
churches, whose worship is character
lied by a fervor and simplicity pecu-
lIarly attractive to the negro mind
It is probable that serious difficulties
will be experienced in attempting to
break in upon this fascination with
new doctrines and an elaborate cere-
mOnial. Says the Ohio Statesman -
1.-THE missionaries doubtless counl
much on the fervid Imagination of
the negro race, their docility under
spiritual guidance, and on the fact
that wherever they have been bro't
under the influence of the Roman
Catholic Chcrch, as in louisiana, Flor
ida, the West Indies, and South
America, they have been its devoted
children. 1t should be remembered,
however, that the negro is generally
faithful to early impressions and ira
ditions; and we suspect that it would
prove quite as difficult to convert the
colored Roman Catholics of Lousi-
ana to Protestantism as to induce their
brethren of other States to cease to be
Methodists or Baptists.n

Many repine and wonder at the
accumulation Of their misfortunes
and disappOintments, when their own
selfishness causes the greater share of
them, They expect the world to
yield to them Of its abundance, with
little effort on their part; and If
neighbOrs do not fly to their assist
ance every time their services could
be of use, no matter how great the in
convenience, they are directly set
down as no friends.
The fact is, people generally have
enough to do to keep thrift in their
own homes, and those who prosper
most expect to serve themselves and
do so cheerfully and energeiically.
If a farmer neglects his field, and it
fails to yield corn and wheat enough
to support his family, il does not fol-
low that another man is bound to give
him or sell below fair rate from his
well-filled granaries-
If p man abuses himself IN dissipa-
ton and finally sinks down sick, and
Frustrated in mind, body and pocket,
his friends are not bound to support
him. Generosity and kindness of
heart prompt those kindly services
which are often received as rights.
Every man and woman is response
BILE for themselves so far as they are
well and of sound mind, and when
each rOuses up resolved to help them
selves the world will be happier, for
then the burdens of life will be more
evenly distributed.-ELM ORLOU.

LIBERAL CONSISTENCY.

President Grant appointed Thomas
Murphy Collector of the port of New
York. Horace Greeley and Senator
Fenton opposed the appointment on
political grounds. The Tribune re-
garded the appointment as political
blundeF, and Senator FentOn was ter
ribly severe on the President for ap-
pointing a Democrat to so important
an office. The Tribune devoted col
umD after column to prove Murphy a
Democrat, and dared Murphy to deny
the charge which it made that he had
voted for John II. Hoffman, the DEM
ocratic Governor of New York Fen
ton was equally aggressive, and con-
sidered the fact that Murphy had
voted for Hoffman 'the sum of all
villainies and the fact that should
secure his instant removal from Office.
The investigation into custom house
affairs in New York resulted in vim
dicating the Collectors personal in
tegriIy, and proving the charges
raised against his official character
false and malicious. But, in the esti-
nation of Greeley and Fenton, the
fact that he had voted
for Governor Hoffman was the un-
pardonable sin which they could new
er forgive. Now mark the eonsisten-
ey of these very liberal politicians. A
few months only have interviewed
since these gentlemen thought a vote
for Governor Hoffman was the grav-
est of political crimes. Now they are
hand and heart with this same John
T. Hoffman, doing their best to furth-
er his interest as a Democrat, and he
is in turn using all his influence to
advance their reasonable movement
against the Republican party. The
very man that Greeley and Fenton
once thought it a political crime to
vote for is now the leader Of Greeley's
cause in the State of New York. This
piece Of consistency is in keeping
with the whole movement. 1t proves
one of two conclusions Either these
men were honest or hypOeritieal when
they objected to Mr.. Murphy'On the
grounds of his having voted for Hoff-
man. If they were honest then they
are dishonest HOJO. II they were dis
honest then, how much credit can We
allow them for honesty ROtDi 10
