Ths Enormity Of Vice il Vienna.
Vienna Correspondence OF the Baltimore
American.

A mans wealth is often estimated
in Vienna by The number of mistres-
ses he keeps, and the magnifcence of
their equipages, diamonds and dres:
ses. There is no city ine the world,
not even Paris, that can rival the
metropolis of Austria in sensuality
and Immortality, and in these re-
narkable. There are no establish
ments in Vienna, however, like those
which have proved such nuisance
to the citizens of the Eastern School
District OF Baltimore, Tor the reason
!, that professionals Of that class do not
'existithere.. There are, in short. no
Haunting comtesans in Vienna, as
are to be seen on the streets Of Paris,
or even in New York or Baltimore.
Where virtue is such rarity there is
no opportunity for making speciality
Of vice, and it has no special locality.
In this respect Vienna would appear
! to the casual visitor more free from
this species of social evil than any
other large city in the world; but a
visit to the foundling hospital, where
there is an average of about forty in
fants received daily. or the general
hospital, where its illegitimate births
average thirty a day, shows the pre-
eminence Of Vienna over all other
cities in the world. There are twenty
thousand soldiers always in the. city,
mostly young men from the provin
ces, who could not> marry if they
would, and would not if they could.
They have no means to support
wife, and seldom have money suffi
cient to pay the church charges for
the pee formance Of the marriage cere-
mony. They can be seen in crowds
with the young girls on the Ring
strasse and thevPrater. They form
attachments, but are never expected
to marry. Their example is followed
by the young men in other walks OF
life, and I am assured there are fewer
marriages in Vienna than almost any
other city of one-third the popula-
ton. There seems to be no attempt
made by the .authorities or by the
church TO remedy this evil, which
has become so universal tEat-among
the laboring classes especially there
are few mothers who have husbands

Chicago and Georgia.

A large and influential meeting Of
capitalists, interested in the new
route to the sea by way of the Chi
cago, Augusta and South Atlantic
Railway, was held at the company S
office, at l29 Dearborn street, yester-
day afternoon. In the absence of
President Raymond, the Hon. J. B.
Seymour presided; and reports were
received from various sections favor
ing and criticising different routes
along the line. I. was stated that
there is considerable jealousy be-
tween South Carolina and Georgia,
and much solicitude as to the fate of
the Blue Ridge Railroad, which is
about to be sold to satisfy the bond
holders. 1t was thought that the
sale Of the Blue Ridge Railroad should
be postponed, while there was a chance
for the stock as we'll as the bond-hol-
ders to realize from some arrange
ments with the Chicago, Augusta and
South Atlantic Railway. The coun-
try South OF South Carolina, by let
ting the Blue Ridge now go into
hands unfriendly to her interests,
might delay, if not indefinitely post
pone, work of internal improve
ment, which will do more to develop
the resources Of the South than all
projects of similar nature for years
past. The Chicago, Augusta and
South Atlantic Railroad, in compe-
tent and practical hands, will be a
success, and relieve the present roads
Of those heavy gross freights, such as
sugars, etc., as we'll as open another
perfectly feasible route Tor the ship
ment of Western produce to the East.
Anderson, South Carolina, is 50 loca-
ted that, with a little energy on the
part of her business men, she might
be made the distributing point for
Charleston, Port Royal md Augusta.
As railroad centre she would soon
occupy the position of indianapolis.
The generous rivalry in trade be-
tween Charleston and Augusta would
t.nd to build up their own cities,
while Anderson would receive the
fall benefits of the competition.
1t is purposed calling meeting of
the corporation, numbering about
fifty, at Chicago, in the first week Of
the opening OF the exposition in Sep
tember, when subscriptions will be
opened for stock, and reports from
towns and Counties, offering the com
rany aid or bonuses, will be acted
upon. Suggestions and advice in all
matters of interest to the road are
solicited from the public, and to be
addressed to Robert Rae, Vice Pres
idenc, at l29 Dearborn street.-Chl-
cago Tribune.

y BOYS IDEA OF HEADs-Heads
are Of different shapes and sizes
Tacy are full Of notions. Large
heads do not always hold the most
Some persons can tell Just what a
man is by the shape Of his head
High heads are the best kind. Very
knowing people are called long head
ed. A fellow that won't stop for
anything or anybody is called hot
headed. If he is not quite so bright
they call him soft headed. If he
wont be coaxed or turned they call
him pig headed. Animals have very
small heads. The heads of fools slant
back. When your head is cut of
yor are beheaded. Our heads arc
covered with hair, except bald heads
There are barrel heads, heads Of ser.
mons-and some ministers used tc
have fifteen heads to. one sermon
pin heads; heads of cattle, as the
farmer calls his cows and oxen heac
winds; drum heads cabbage heads
at loggerheads; come to a head
heads Of chapters; head him OFT
head of the family; and so ahead
but first be sure you are right; bu
the worst of all heads are deaf
heads.

The HI KinX Rewards.

1t is pretty generally known :, that

semblv Of s. c., an Act was passed
apnropriating aq,pr,y ia $4,000 to be paid as

5000 apiece. This fund was to be
distributed d by the Governor. See
how it goes. Niessrs. Byron, Brown
and Carton get small sums out OF it
hut but the bulk of it goes to Mcssrs
Merrill and Wilkes. We have nc
idea that even these two got a dollar
over over their proper shares, as ont of the
apparently large sum which they re-
ceeiyed, cep the "divi" had to be made.

WHO PAYS TIE TAxEs ?-T'he
Lnion-Herald advances tie some
what novel doctrine that the pooi
man pays indirectly nine-tenths OF
the whole State tax--in other words
that the consumer pays the tax II
the last stage OF the process. Now.
however true this may be in refer
ence to the indirect taxes which are
levied by the general government it
is certainly not true with regard 10
the direct tax upon real and personal
property, which makes up the annual
State revenue. The arguments is that
.he tax is reimbursed to the rich man
in the enhanced price which the poor
man is forced to pay for land, cloth
ing, and provisions. Perhaps 1t
should be so, as the poor man is now
the ruling power in the State; but i,
certainly is a frllacy to hold that ii
is 50. iIas tie heavy taxation in the
State increased the price of the lands,
or indeed enhanced the value Of any
property? 1t acts, on the contrary,

And fell in the cause, though lost, still

And died for me and you.

From the private to the chief,
Come they from hovel or princely hall,
They fell for US, and for them should fall
The tears of.a nations grief.
Gather the corpses strewn
Ger many battle plain;
From many grave that lies so lone,
Without name and without stone,
Gather the Southern slain.
We care not whence they came,
Dean is their lifeless clay!
Whether unknown, or known, to fame
Their cause and country still the same
They died-and Wore the gray.
Wherever the brave have died,
They should not rest apart;
Living, they struggled side by side
Why should the hand OF death divide
A single heart from heart,
Gather their scattered clay,
Wherever it may rest;
Just as they marched to the bloody fray;
Just as they fell on the battle-day;
Bury them breast 10 breast.
The foeman need not dread
This gathering of the brave;
Without sword or flag, or without sound
less tread,
We muster, once more, our deathless
dead
Out OF each lonely grave.
The foeman need not frown;
They are all powerless now
We gather them here, and we lay them
down,
And tears and prayers are the only
crown
We bring, to wreath each brow.
And the dead thus meet the dead,
While the living DER them weep;
And the men whom Lee and Stonewall
led;
And the hearts that once together bled;
Together still shall sleep.

\ HORRIBLE OUrEAGE.-A hori-
Die outrage was perpetrate' in Linn
-ownship, Warren County, Iowa, on a
10Y about fourteen years old, by two
men, ramed McKissick and Hart.
Ike boy. who was living at McNis-
.icl's, was accused by them of rob-
bing two men who slept in the room
with him. The boy denied the guilt,
md threats failed to extort q confas-
sion. The two brutes whipped him
unmerciiully, and again until Mon
lay night, when tie boy was taken
20 vel some ten feet deep, with
about five feet of water in it, and
with q rope around his neck, he wcs
lowered repeatedly, head foremost,
rto the water, until nearly drowned.
The same night, he was taken up
stars in McKIssicks house by Nc
NisscE and Hart, and there lali on
hi; face on the floor. His feet were
bound with rope passed over tic
rafrers.. 50 as to draw his feet soae
twenty inches from the floor His
hands we're bound behind him nd
lrawn mp in the same way to aoeat
the same elevation, and his head LASH
ed to a bed-post by cord from his
neck In this condition, he was left
until 10 O'Clock Tuesday, when some
neighbors discovered and released
him from his painful position more
dead than alive. The boy had nei-
ther food nor water, save when duck
ed in the well, from Sunday evening
until Tuesday noon. McKissick and
Hart, who are both men Of property,
were arrested, and yesterday held to
answer for assault with intent to in
Act great bodily injury, and also

confession to the priest of what she
had done. He gave her ripe this

rious directions and scatter the seeds,
one by che. Wondering at the pen
aace, she obeyed, and then returned
and told her confessor. To her amaze
ment, he babe her 50 back and gath
er the scattered seeds; and when she
objected that it would be impossible,
he replied that it would be still more
difficult to gather up and destroy all
evil reports which she had circula-
ted about others. Any thoughtless,
careless child can scatter handful
Of thistle-seed before the wind in a
moment, but the strongest and wisest
man can not gather them again.

The Salary Steal and the Fifisenth
Amendment.


The New York Fnancier, after says
ing that Mr.. Madison once proposed an
amendment to the Federal Coustitu.
ton which failed OF ratification at the
time, and adding that the Ohio Senate
has Just passed a vote Of ratification for
that State, INDUCES in the following ar
gument: =,
"If rejected by any Legislature, the
rejection must be final for that State.
II this is not 80, then this absurdity
follows: that consent once gwen may
be subsequently Withdrawn at any
time prior to complete ratification: II
any Legislature neglects to consider a
proposed amendment at all, the ne'
elect is equivalent to rejection; aud as
soon az an amendment has been before
the people long enough for a verdict to
be passed upon it, it becomes legally
dead unless adopted. A few years may
be claimed for this process but not
three, quarters of q century"
1.-THE FnancisrS doctrine be true
then the fifteenth amendment as il is
called, is no part Of the Federal Con-
stitution; for it ia notorious that that
Amendment was first rejected by two or
more States, whose ratification was
necessary to its vitality, and afterwards
accented by the same states. Either
the fifteenth amendment is a fraud, or
else the States may now rat'iy MT
Madison's amendment.
