occasion he threw II whole army across

'tcnled field but Pompcy couldn't
hold Roman candle to Julius. We
are assured, upon the authority Of Pat
Henry, that Cesar had his Brut''s.'
The unbiased reader Of history how

trary, Brutus rather had Cesar. This
Brutis never struck me rs being an
unpleasant man to meet, but he did

Another Railroad from New Orleans
to Texas Proposed.

.
In the proceedings of the New Or
leans Chamber of Commerce, Oh the
evening Of the LIST instant, as reported
IN the Times, we find the following res
buttons looking to railroad from Gem
trail Texas;
Resolved, That in the opinion of
this Chamber of Commerce, the time
has fully arrived when the work of
locating aud instructng railroad to
and through Central Texas from New
Orleans can no longer be deferred with
out serious detriment to the business Of
our city.
Resolved, That the organization of
a strictly New Orleans company, com
posed of our best known and most UNI
exeeptionable citizens, for the prosecu-
ton of the great, all-important public
work, Is earnestly recommended
Resolved, That the mpmbe ofthis
Chamber will encourage and support
such company In the performance Of
such work, to the extent of their
influence, ability and available means"
General Bayley advocated the adop-
ton of his resolution, saying that n
road to Central Texas was of the first
Importance to our city, as 1t would
make all roads now built or projected
there from northern and western points
tributary to our city. 1t was, he said,
of FIR more importance tilan n line to
Houston. We should have this line
first, and next one to Shreveport and
after that one to Alexandria, connect
ing with the Northern road at that
point.
"Mr. kennard also favored road to
Central Texas, and spoke Of the folly
Of carrying produce from Shreveport to
Houston, where they could not handle
II. During visit to Galveston he had
become convinced that New Orleans
WAS Without rival for the trade of the
great West. While Galveston has but
ten feet of water, and wants sn appro-
priation from Congress of $4,000, 900
to make It sixteen feet, We have eight
cen feet, and with S,000,O0O could
make It twenty-seven feet, and we
have good plea to 60 before Congress
for this mid. We now want n railroad
TO stflka near Dallas-the great rail-
road center Of Texas, Three railroads
will pass through that city within q
year, und n we favor new road II
should be In that direction. He was
convinced that the old route would not
have been persevered in so long, but
that the road was supposed to have
valuable franchises already secured. A
road to Central Texas is now the great
sst want of New Orleans.
General Baylcy then gave an inter-
esting synopsis Of railroad movements
before the war, which were interrupted
and suspended by 1t, and In answer to
inquiry on the action of the Chamber
said that he wished the resolution
adopted, after which he would under
take the formation Of company by
Totariai act. He said that he should
advocate tho spending Of the first
money OF the company in building a
read from, PlaquemiDe toward Central
Texas, = distance Of about ono hundred
and ANY miles when we would be met
BY Texas road.
Aner some further remarks tn,
resolutions were adopted.''

a Lesson Each Merchant should
Acquire.

4 citizen Of this county having
three children, said yesterday he
vas too poor to take a paper. If
this be true, he is too poor, and
Providence never intended that he
should have these children to grow
up in utter ignorance of the ways
and progress of the world. How in
zcomprehensibly stupid the oldest
must appear abroad, and what 3
monkey-show would be fashiona-
bly, dressed woman to that country
pumpkins wife and daughter-One
o. the three children is unluckily a
girl If education must be compul-
sorry, the newspaper constitutes the
proper A B C's of the people and
should be forced into every house
hold. Merchants in this behalf,
should be the great educators of the
country. Each tradesmau can In
duce many farmers to take q news
paper of the city, and thus the mer-
chant and farmer have constant IN
tereouFse with one another. But
beyond all this the merchant be-
comes an active adjutant of the
schoolmaster. He not only furnish
es wares and groceries, but intelli-
genee and good morals through the
paper to his customers. But the
great practical end attained is the
extension of a city's business by ex-
tending the circulation of its news
papers. 1t is confessed by every
merchant that the press OF city
gives it abroad its character. Peo-
pie everywhere judge Of a city by
tic appearance and intelligence of
Is pFcss, and therefore the citizens
should deal generously with their
that these may wear an
attractive and prosperous appear

Credit EIoBIIisr.

The following anecdotes have been
reproduced to illustrate why the
majority in Congress take no action
against the corruption exhibited by
the Credit Mobilier investigation:
Mr.. Lincoln had beeh retained as
counsel for fellow accused of steal
ing six fine hogs. The trial came
on, and the witnesses for the State
proved the theft beyond all ques-
ton, and identified Mr.. Lincoin's
client as q thief. When the testi-
mony closed, Mr., Lincoln turned to
the thief and said: 81 see no ground
for any defense in this case, sir. II
the witnesses are to be believed,
you are guilty, and | cannot make
anything else out of it,"
''Never mind my guilt" said the
confiding client. 'EJes get up and
abuse them with witnesses like the
devil, and spread yourself on gen.
eral principles"
Mr.. Lincoln did as he was told
The jury retired, and in less than
half an hour, much TO the surprise
of court and counsel, returned a
verdict of mot guiltyp'
81 don't understand this" said
Mr.. Lincoln, turning to his client
as he spoke; ''these fellows must
have misunderstood"
'Not a d-d bit of it," answered
the sagacious client, with a know
ing wink. ''Yo on see, Squire, every
one of them ere fellers had a piece
o. them hogs"

The St. Louis Democrat calls at
tention to the notable and desirable
change in American journalism, by
the substitution of the paragraph"
for the "article" on the editorial
page. Commenting on the change
it says:
A few years ago nothing less than
q column in length was considered
worthy of the pen of an editor, and
the reader had to face about three
such installments every morning,
or else burst in ignorance of what
the paper had TO say for itself
Now all the leading journals of the
country devote more than half their
editorial space to paragraphinG. 1t
is much more difficult to write a
good paragraph than an average ar
ticle-just as it is much more diff
cult to make good proverb than to
preach an average sermon. The
late James Gordon Bennett had a
good appreciation of the matter
when, in response to an Inquiry as
to what he paid for editorial mat
ter, said, ''I pay at the rate of fifty
dollars for quarter of a column,
twenty-five dollars for half a col.
umn, and ten dollars for a whole
column"
