the company had no right. a. against either it,
creditors or the minority Of its stockholders. to

squander in dividends money borrowed Of the
Government, or OF first mortgage bonds.
There is no evidence of Encouragement By the
present directors of the road. and the commit

which they have bought in good faith can be
disturbed. The report closes with a bill direct
ing the Attorney General to begin a suit imme-

the Government in the road, and the recovery
of the sum Of which both the road and the
Government have been plund .red. Mr.. Swami,

The Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany now has in full operation, with
daily trains, 32l miles of road. A dis
lance of nearly 200 miles more is con-
structed. The Minnesota Section. i'm
mediately on its completion, entered
upon a satisfactory business, including
local traffic and the large carrying-trade
of the Northwestern British Settlements
and the Hudson Bay Company. The
recently completed section of si1ty-five
miles, on the Pacific Coast, Mt once COM
mands a profitable business between
Puget Sound and the Columbia River,
heretofore lone by coastwise steamers.
| On the opening Of spring, with moro
than 500 miles Of Road in regular OPP

extensive and productive trade of the
Upper Missouri, much of Montana and
the Northwest. The earnings Of the
Road for 1873 will be large.
Arrangements for pushing
vigorously the present year are progress
ing satisfactorily.
Of the nearly Ten Million acres of
land accruing TO the Company in on
ncction with the portion of Road now
virtually constructed, some Two Million
acres, of excellent average quality, are
in market and their sale and settlement

4 Trial.

The most remarkable trial and coll
demnation of prisoners ever known IN
the world lately took place in Russia.
About a year ago it became known to
the Government that large quantities OF
counterfeit money were in circulation,
and hat it was being passed off for
genuine in every part OF the empire.
After each of the great fairs which are
annually held for the sale OF goods, the
merchants and peasants returned to
their homes with any amount OF worth
less money. As fast - it could be
proven that any individual was impli-
Gated in this business he was arrested,
put in confinement and treated with the
knout till he would reveal the names OF
his accomplices. In this way over five
hundred persons were arrested IN duff
ferent parts of Russia, brought to Mos
COW in chains and placed in dungeons
under the Kremlin. The list included
mobiles, peasants, high-born ladies, har'
lots, merchants, brokers, small traders
and peddlers. Among the number were
four Frenchmen, and quite n number OF
talented engravers. On the 18th OF
November they were brought up in pairs
into the great hall of Kremlin, n OF
the largest rooted Enclosures in the
world, to receive judgment. The tria
was brief. and the sentence severe; sucl
is the conrse of justice in Russia. ST,
of the accused were sentenced to death
ninety-four were sent to the gold mines
of Ural for life; sixty were sent to a ik.
captivity for twenty years while fifty
two were sentenced to four years in
generation in Russian prisons. On'
hundred and sixty of these We're like
wise sentenced to be branded with
, mark which denotes that the wearer il
an irreclaimable felon and an avowet
enemy of human society. When thi
sentence was proclaimed wild and fran
tic cries and yells rose from the prison
ers. They ratified their chains ant
called on God to help them. Some fel
upon the floor, while others leaped iron
frenzy. As the Judge and Sheriff
could not preserve order, a detachmen
of Cossacks, armed with heavy thongs
were ordered in to force silence.

Railroad Retrenchment.

This subject is thus sensibly discussed
by the Railroad Gazette /: Obviously,
there is such thing as a blind and stu
pid curtailment of expenses. In order
to save a hundred dollars thousand
may be lost. To illustrate, we know of
one road in which the fuel accounts are
kept in very careless way, because
those high in authority are not willing
to pay enough to secure the services of
fuel agents with sufficient intellig ence
and capacity to keep the accounts cor
rectly. Now the waste of fuel which
must ensue on a road with several hun
dred locomotives, if those who run
them have no feeling of personal &C.
countability, would pay the expense of
careful agents to keep the accounts ten
times over. A careful record has also
another good effect it reveals the de-
fects of both the engines and the men
who run them. On another road we
know of, each engine is carefully charged
with every ton of coal it uses. When
ever any of them showed a very heavy
fuel consumption, an experienced per
son, whose special duty it was, ex-
amined the working of the engine and
its management by the men, and, if
possible, discover the defects, if any
existed, which, of course, was the
preliminary step in order to effect a
remedy. Now to attempt economy by
cutting off the expense of keeping com
petent men in charge of the fuel ac-
counts is a little like dispensing with a
cashier and cash account in order to
save money. Or, we will take the much
talked-of and frequently discussed sub-
iect of lightweight of cars. The ma
iority of railroad officers, we regret Ia
say, have very indefinite ideas Of the
cost of carrying dead weight. and most

The Antinnitx of Butter Making

Herodotus, the Greek historian, is
the most ancient writer who, in his &C
count of the Scythians, described pro-
cess for making butter. The word
buturon first occurs in Hippocrates,
who was nearly contemporary with Her
odotus, in the fifth century B. G. "The
Scythians,' says Hippocrates, "pour
the milk of mares into wooden vessels
and shake it up violently, making it
foam, when the fat part, which is light,
rises to the top and becomes buturon.
Dioscorides, 80 B. c., says that good
butter is prepared from the latest milk
of sheep or goats, by shaking it in a
also, that it can be melted and poured
over pulse and vegetables, instead of
oil and might be used in pastry instead
of oil. It is evident from this that
drawn butter is not modern invention,
and that our pastry cooks have learned
something from their grandmothers. But
the principal use of butter among the
Greeks and Romans was as an ointment
and medicine. The Romans were ac-
customed to anoint the bodies of their
children with it to render them pliable,
and the Burgundians extended its APP
plicatiOn by using it as hair oil. Plu-
tarch, the prince of ancient story-tellers,
informs US that a Spanish lady once
paid visit to Berenice, the wife of
Deiotarus, and that one smelt so strong
ly of ointment and the other of butter,
that neither could endure the other.
We are not told what kind of ointment
it was, but we can safely assert that the
butter must have been very rancid.
The ancient Christians of Egypt burnt
butter in their lamps instead of oil !;
and in more recent times it was used for
the same purpose in Roman Catholic
churches, during the Christmas festival,
to avoid the great consumption of olive
oil. The cathedral of Rouen has tower
called the butter tower, from the fact
that the archbishop of Rouen, in A. d.
1900, finding the supply of oil to fail,
during Lent, permitted the use of but
ter in lamps, on condition that each in
habitant should pay six derniers, with
which money the tower was built.
There are other butter towers, Notre
Dame, Bourges, etc.

A Beggar on Horseback.

A curious case is in progress in the
st. Louis courts. In 1856, or there
abouts, an italian named Cadamatari
came to this country bringing with him
a wife and child, and settled in st.
Louis, where he adopted the occupa-
ton of a beggar. The little girl did
most of the begging, while the father
invested the receipts. This part of the
business he attended to with much
shrewdness, specializing in auction
goods, real estate, and so on, with the
money she obtained. Becoming COM
paratively wealthy, Cadamatari deter
mined on a trip to Europe, and went off
amply supplied with funds to enjoy
himself in his native land. While he
was gone the daughter begged as per-
sistently as ever, and in the course of
about five years accumulated $12, 900,
which she deposited with the managers
of the st. Louis university. Lately,
Cadamatari returned from his European
tour, and learning of this deposit made
haste to claim it for himself, making a
draft on the university for the money.
The managers refused to acknowledge
the old mendicant's right to the funds,
and thus the matter came into the
courts. The daughter, who, during the
old mans absence, had married one of
her countrymen, who was probably we'll
aware of her invaluable qualities as a
help-meet, proved that Cadamatari,
when he first came to st. Louis, had no
means of livelihood except the pro-
ceeds OF her begging,

Gymnastics for the Old

1t has BEEN imagined that gymnastic
exercise is exclusively profitable to the
young. 1t is not so it is of advant-
age, of great advantage, likewise to the
old. Young persons need little exhor-
tation to exercise, since, by nature, mo-
ton is their chief desire but they
stand in need of advice and III odera-
ton, since, as theydo everything immod-
erately, SO they are accustomed to take
too much exercise, and of an improper
character, a course of proceeding not
without danger. On the contrary, with
older men, the increasing weight of the
body and the loss of the so-called Cant
NAL Spirits" induces the desire of re-
pose, and they need an increase of ex-
ercise beyond that which inclination en-
joins on them. Thus they are brought
within the province of the gymnastic
code. It has been said that nature is
an all-suficient guide in this respect.
This is true of our proper rational ma
ture, but not of mere individual incli-
nation, to which the apothegm is more
frequently applied. Children, who by
reason of the tenderness of their age,
are incapable of reason, live indeed &C
cording to nature, but rather to that of
absorbed in the indulgence of our own
emotions that, by degrees, we lose the
consciousness of high duty to mankind.
But il is very hard to suppress the pain
in our hearts, and pluck out of the wound
the barb that has pierced us. Yet grief
is disintegration of character, unless we
subject it to this heroic treatment. Be
fore the first outburst of the tempest we
are ovel borne, and we inflict useless ag-
Ony on ourselves if we choose to break
rather than to bend. In stern strug-
gle with disaster, nevertheless, lies its
only power to bless us in the end. The
effort we must make, painful as it is, to
get the mastery of our own soul.
There is no sadder sight than to see one
permanently crushed and broken in
spirit, under sorrow; and there is no
grander spectacle than that of free
soul rising superior to evil, distiling
honey, like the bee of Samarcand, out
of poison and death. Vigor of will and
nobility of character are to be learned
nowhere but in the stern school of mis-
fortune.-F. E. Abbot.
