/ must be remembered that this is at a time
when the land grant system is entirely
broken up, and there is no hopes of Its
revival in any quarter. Among those which
are regarded as live projects in the hands Of
capitalists that are prepared to begin work
at once to carry them out may be mentioned
the following:
The Great Salt Lake and Colorado River
Railroad Company are to build a line from
Salt Lake City, up the valley of the Jordan,
and down the Rio Virgin and the Colorado
River to Fort Yuma, where it will strike the
Southern Pacific Railroad. A bill incorpo-
rating this company has passed the House.
The Utah and Northern Railroad will run
from Corinne up Bear River, and form link
in the projected system of roads to connect
Utah with Montana and Idaho. This pro-
ject has also received the indOr sement of the
House.
The Great Salt Lake and Portland Rail
road, bill to incorporate which has become
law this session, is to run from point on
the Central Pacific Railroad in Northern
Utah, across Idaho and Oregon TO Portland.
The NewMexieo Central Railroad, north
and south line, will run through New Mex
leo from Santa Fe, down the Rio Grande to
FL Paso. 4 bill to charter this Company
has passed the Senate and been agreed TO by
the House Committee on Public Lands.
The New Mexico and Gulf Railroad is
projected from Santa Fe, down the valley of
the Pecos River, southeasterly through
Texas to Galveston A bill for this line is
pending in both Houses.
The Dakota Grand Trunk Railroad will
run from the Iowa line westward u Yank-
ton and Springfield, Dakota, with branch
running up the Valley of the Dakota River
to point on the Northern Pacific Road A
bill Incorporating this Company has passed
the House. The projectors Of the road con
template extending the main line west
from Springfield up the Valley of the Niobra-
IA River 70 Fort Laramie on the Union
Pacific Railroad, and they believe that this
line viii eventually form part Of great
railroad system connecting the head Of the
Gulf OF California
The Denver and Rio Grande Railroad from
Denver TO Sante F. has already small part
Of its line IN operation in Colorado, and viii
be rapidly extended southwark.
The railroad projects, a. yet only on
paper, are much more numerous than those
above specified. Among them is the pro
posed road 10 the Pacific by way of what is
known as the 55th parallel route, up the
Valley OF the Arkansas, and across Mort b.

Many middle-aged person viii be re
minded by the above quoted heading of tho
dreary expanse that it represented on the
map of the United States and territories that
formed part of the textbook stock of their
early school days, with boundaries SO Utopian
as to be beyond even the dream of future pens-
tration. But glance at the list of railroad
projects now before Congress, crossing this
mythical great American desert in every

Sabbath Morn.
BY ADA b. FOSTER.

wlen ushered in, on piers of light, in Orient the day
is born,
softer sunlight crowns the hills in the deep hush
Of sabbath morn.
The faithful plow forgets work, the loud voice
loom at length is STILL
And the rivers mossy brink in silence stands the
weary mill.
The shouting winds are sobernow; the brook sends
forth a softer chime,
And on the heavy sands OF life more slowly roll the
wheels OF Time.
Upon the dewey air serene fall lower humminss OF
the bee,
And in ahalfhushed madrigal oat the bird-warbles
rom the tree.
And mingled with these pastoral sounds comes the
deep voice Of sweet church bell,
As drn its echoes up the hill and through the Wild,
romantic dell.
The welworn chureh-pAths now are trod by light
and rev'rent feet Of all;
And pensive groups are pouring forth from the low
cot and iyied hall.
To where tho chapel in the grove uplins its slender
spire Of white
Like snowy finger pointing up to shining courts Of
starry ight.
The aged pastors holy words now soothe, subdue
the spirit-strife,
And yearning souls swift plume their wings and
soar beyond the clouds oflife.
a Jeacon-hght TO guide my barque across hfe'-
troubled, drowning sea,
spring brook Iu the desert lone is the holy day
20 me.
@ Godr when on this dropping brow Is LAID ufe's
weary weight of thorn,
pray NY spirit may ind rest IN Thy eternal sab
bath Morn.

Citi-en F,Huo
The prowess of the American Lion (Lyon)
is preserved in deathless song, is eloquence
less deserving Of applause The sweet breath
Of the tunetul choir shall render it also
immortal
Emulous Of paying tribute TO civic merit,
the Revolutionary Tribunal Of Parnassus has
decreed, that the celebrated oratl ons of this
far famed Democrat, which have been lately
roared and encOred throughout the continent,
shall be rendered into the language Of the
Muses..
Considerable progress has already been
made in this work, the patronage of our
worthy co patriots must determine the time
Of its completion.
That paragon, his apologize Grafton
pronounced soon after the celebrated battle, on
account OF its extreme length Is reserved for
uobler destiny, it forms the y. book Of the
Leonard, an Epic poem, second in merit TO
the iiad alone, and which the learned world
may soon expect to receive from the hands
Of the great Scriberius
Thus it is, citizen, that Republicans reward
civic merit, how much more unestimable
than stars and garters the gewgaws, with
which our ancient tyrants adorned their
slaves
Come then, Citizen Fenno, and with the
fraternal embrace, the dear pledge of our
affection, receive this peerless document OF
genius, impress it on that page ever dear to
Freemen and terrible to tyrants. In doing
this, you will deserve we'll of the Republic
your name shall be inserted in the Bulletin
Of Parnassus, where nothing finds place
unworthy of honorable mentIOu.

that he carried to different persons in the
German towns which he had to pass

Our Cur OF TEA.-The Boston Journal
says, if there are any of our readers who in
dulge in the hope that after the first day Of
July next their cup of tea will cost them
any less they may as well be disabused. Tea
has advanced already. The stock in the
hands of jObbers and grocers is small, and
the prices paid for that which is on hand, 20
be delivered after the first of July, indicates
that there will be no falling of. When the
market prices are fixed in China aad
Japan, these acute neighbOrs of ours, know
ing the necessity of the Yankees, will ad-
vance their rates, and thus the amount of
revenue which under the former regime would
have come into Uncle Sans pocket will be
divided between John Chinaman and his
oriental neighbor. 1t is possible that few
importers Will make a little larger percentage
but the consumer viii pay as much for his
tea and coffee as before.

In little village in New Hampshire
there lived family named Ransom. They
were not pious peOple-rather on the re-
probate order, il taet-and they never
weut to church. Once, however, during a
revival, the family were prevailed upon to
attend preaching. When they made their
reluctant and tardy appearance the services
had begun, and they had scarcely taken
their seats when the preacher gave out the
first hymn, reading it somewhat thus F" Re-
turn, ye ransom sinners, home" All

didn't want to come"

SURPLUS Army CLOTHING TO BE DISPOSED
oT.-Gen. Belknap, Secretary OF War, has
received authority from Congress to sell such
portion of the clothing in the Quartermas-
ter's stores as he may deem advisable, just
as he last year received authority TO sell un-
serviceable clothing The Quartermaster' 8
department has now on hand thirteen mil
lion dollars worth of clothing, which 1t costs
$50, 900 year to take care Of. There are
rubber blankets enough on hand TO meet all
demands for one hundred and thirty years
to come, and rubber pouches enough for the
next eighty years, artillery packets enough
for the next eighty years, and blouses enough
for the next thirty-nine years. If a portion
of these extra supplies can be aoated into
commerce before they decay, so much the
better, as after they are condemned and sold
they bring little or nothing.

The EAGLE AND THE BABY-The Tribune

The EAGLE AND THE BABY.-The Tribune
says The usual eagle has again appeared
with outsprcad wings. and crooked talons ;
and threatening beak, to carry away tn
usual baby. Since the days of the story
and the picture of the Sunday School books,
the eagle has never succeeded in carrying of
the child. 1t is queer, however, that eagles
do not appear unless children are out play
ing At least they are never seen except by
some faithful dog or loving mother, who de-
tends the infant. This time the eagle ap
peared in a town on the Hudson, and the
mother, with the usual difficulty, rescued the
child. It is sometimes the case that the
eagle resembles that of the three black crows;
we have known the eagle TO be . hawk, and
the child to be feeding chickens; we have
heard of the eagle being only hen defend
ing her chickens from the infant but IN the
last case, paper having told the story,
ruthless contemporary says g it was only
gilt tin eagle.
