WHO CAN EXpLAIN.-The creeping OF
railroads has attracted some attention OF late,
and while We do not attempt to explain II, we
offer point on the fact that on lines running
north and south the western rail ''creeps last
er than the eastern rail that is, this strange
movement of the rail towards the south Is more
marked in one rail than 10 the other on the
same track. Furthermore, 1t has been noticed
that on such line the eastern rail- wears out
the fastest. Both Of these points, we think,
can be explained by the motion OF the earth as
it turns from the west towards the east. Every
thing that has free motion is dragged after the
whirinr globe every wind that blows and
every tide that moves feels the influence, and
our train going north or south is pulled over to-
ward the east, and naturally presses the east
crp rail most heavily. The western rail, being
relieved of its share of weight, "creeps more
frequently and quickly. 1t is also Dotlced
that the wheels that run on the eastern ran
wear out the fastest, and we but think that tins
earth motion is the true cause. Tine practical
side of this is, that the eastern ra,l'and wheels
should BIO stronger. = Sctelt!tc american.
TAKING TURNS.-A case of the most abject
poverty which, in measure, serves to show
the extremes in which many OF the poorer
classes are placed, was reported by police OIL
ticcr at the Home for Little Wanderers lew
days since. The officer, in the performance
of his duties, had his attention called to two
half-cad children, wandering about the streets
with bare heads and feet, in search of cold VIC
tuals. Bu Investigation he found that these
children had brother and sister at home IN
bed with no clothes to put on. When the two,
became chilled and tired they went home and
changed places with the others, who then don
ned the rags and tooS their turn at begging;
The mother was widow. and she was obliged
to leave the children every day for her work in
another part of the city. By her labor she
earned SO week, two Of which she gave for
the rent of the room she and her children oc,,
cupied. The family of FIVE were thus obliged
to live on 81 a week and such morsels of food
as the children picked up from day to Jay

The Crisis in Franco.

It is very easy for the excited populaco
OF Paris to C-y Vioe la Repu6lique. There
is promise and cheer in the sound, but
both in Franco and Spain it is likely to
prove delusive. Republics, unlike poets,
are not born, but made equally by oir-
oumstances and ideas. The American
colonies could have crystalized into no
other governmental shape than that of
republics, but the old monarohies OF
Europe find it difficult to got off their
stills, and give practical shape to the
ideas of progress and popular develop
ment which are at work amongst them.
They yearn after democratic life. but fall
short of reaching it. It elades their
grasp. After two years dallying with re-.
publican ideas, trying them on, as it
were. now that Theirs and his ministry
have demanded the permanent establish
rnent Of the republic, the objection is 80
serious as TO- defeat the motion. We are
not surprised, nor can We blame the

living than Marshal MaoMahon. His
abilities have been conspicuous. as his
services havo been valuable in the field,
but it remains to be seen how he will
succeed in civil administration. He will
be wise if he shall see the wisdom of

for order and liberty in the high charac-

A Washington letter to the Baltimore
Sun says:
At the meeting of the Mount Vernon
regents, held immediately after their re-
turn from Mount Vernon, Dr.C. P. How
land, OF this city. submitted the follow
ing:
II charge the Ladies' Mount Vernon
Association with unlawfully receiving
dfty-six and quarter cents from those
visiting Mount Vernon. when they
should only receive twenty-five cents,
and OF not allowing any boat but the
steamer Arrow to land passengers at
Mount Vernon at any price. I charge
the vice-regents with allowing the regent,
Miss PAMELA Cunningham, to receive
moneys from the public without giving
o proper account OF the same. I charge
the regent. Miss PAMELA Cunningham.
with being an habitunl drunkard, and of
being intoxicated for days together, and
incapable OF attending to the business Of
Mount Vernon, and, while intoxicated,
OF being seen Improperly dressed. I
charge the vice.regents with allowing the
regent, Miss Cunningham, thus to be q
public scandal and disgrace to the Mount
Vernon Association, without q public
disapproval Of her conduct or an effort
to depose her and appoint ano othcr regent
in her plnce."
The visitors appointed by tho Lcgisla-
ture OF Virginia to mako the annual visi-
tation stated, through Judge Thomas,
that the fees charged were proper, and
they had seen no evidence to justify the
charges made by DR.. Rowland, but they
did not feel themselves authorized to
make any investigation, as that subject
belonged legitimately to tho vice. regents.
To-day, the vice-regents had private
session, and it was understood and de.
c!ared that mono of the charges against
Miss Cunningham's managem cnt had
been sustained.
