TEST OF THINKING.-The test of real,
vigorous thinking; the thinking which
ascertains truths instead of dreaming
dreams, is successful application to
practice. Where that purpose does not
exist to give defniniteness, precision
and Ineligible meaning to thought, it
generates nothing better than the mys-
tical metaphysics of the Pythagoreans or
the Vedas. With respect to practical
improvement, the case is still more ev-
ident. The character which improves
human life is that which struggles with
natural powers and tendencies, or that
which gives way to them. The self
beneitting qualities are all on the side
of the active and vigorous character

Portland and Ggdcnsbmrg.

While we deplore the short-sighted
policy that delays the building of the
great thoroughfare from Portland TO
Chicago by way of Rutland and Oswe-
90, we can but rejoice with our neigh
bors in the north part of the State at the
prospect of an early completion of their
branch of great through tine between
the granaries of the West and The har-
Dor of Portland. The various links of
this line are being rapidly constructed,
without any general excitement beyond
the local stir created in towns that never
before heard the echo of steam whistle,
and yet when completed this line will
rival any great freight line now in opera
ton, and the Troy papers and people
are even trembling over the injurious
effect it will have on the Hoosac tunnel,
but we don't apprehend that other lines
need be jealous; the rapid growth of the
west will not only tax the full capacity
of existing and projected roads, but will
require many new ones, in order to
reach the seaboard with their grains and
cattle.
This Portland and Ogdensburg road
extends entirely across the State in its
widest place, having one hundred and
seventeen miles of its two hundred and
thirty upon Vermont soil. The three
important places on the line, Portland,

prosperity by the measure, though no

is, however, intended that by next sum-
mer the iron horse will go screaming
through the rich valley of the
Lamoille, and ST. Johnsbury and
Swanton will be brought within a
few hours of each other This road
shows one curious feature in railroad
building. The engineers estimates for
buildi ng, grading and ironing it averages
$22, 500 per mile. The actual average
cost 10 far as finished is $21, 800 per
mile, and the part built is the most ex-
pensit5e portion. Now if road can be
built through such mountains as lie be-
tween Swanton and st. Johnsbury for
less than $22, 900 per mile, ready for use,
how long can the towns lying between
White River junction and Rutland af-
ford 20 dream over the Vermont Division
of the Portland, Rutland, Oswego and
Chicago road? We wait for reply.

TyroIese Dairies.

Personal experience, after two sum-
mcrs in the Tyr0l, had made us reflect
upon the butter and cheese question.
Whether regarded as luxury or ne
| cessity, the Swiss Gruyere and Emmen-
thai cheese, and the fresh, dainty pats of
butter, made the contrast striking in the
| IyrOL The milk and cream were rich
| and delicious, but became simply loath-
some when turned into butter or cheese.
We wondered how and why it was that
we could never obtain perfectly palat-
able butter, until we discovered the I'M
iversal practice of churning it, without
salt, into huge eblong balls, large as the
nave OF wheel, which naturally soon
turn rancid. 1t does not, on this account,
lose its value to the natives, who use
very little butter, melting it down into
clarified dripping called Schmalz, for
their endless fryings and frizzlings. This
badly-made butter is, however. often
adorned with the enblems of the Pas
sion; such as the cross, ladder, crown of
th0rns, and nails. 1t was so at the
Hofbauer'S Ohm. 1t is considered TO en-
nance the value of the butter Rtqe1 or
ball, especially when given to the priest
in payment for masses said for dead re-
lations. The Ursuline Sisters were paid
for Models education in butter.
And the native cheese !-meagre cheese.
as it is justly called-a poor, insipid, not
overclean curd cheese. The crirds are
often merely squeezed In a cloth. then
turned out and placed upon an upper
shelf to dry, where they look like the
back portions of gigantic skulls, until
damp and mould somewhat DESTROY the
resemblance. The kind called fat cheese
is not much better. 1t is, however, made
with greater care, and dried in bands of
pine bark in the Alpine kitchen. The
distasteful butter and cheese-the sole
result of gallons of rich milk and cream.
and many a long summer week upon the
lofty Alp-beeomes still more distaste-
tul when the milk and cream are kept
in the one hot, oyer-crowded sleeping
room, or in a dairy where the goatherd
sleeps amongst the milk-dishes. The /
mountain dwellings are dark and badly
constructed, and if furnished with
proper dairy, the prejudiced housewife /
often refuses to use it, believing that 4
cream will not set unless the milk is 1
warm; thus, much becomes sour, and is
either thrown away or turned in a still
more inferior cheese. Or she purposelv

sellers, and il was discovered that these
enterprising Germans held nearly every
certificate that was supposed to be float
ing on the market.
The holders then resorted for While
to the profitable enterprise OF loanlng
stock for one per cent. day, but as In
the course of ten or twelve days an I'M
limited supply could be imported from
London and thrown on the market, this
business must be brought to q crisis, so
on Monday afternoon the chairman OF
the stock exchange was ordered to buy
sixteen hundred shares in one lot, by
leading firm of the ''cornering clique.
This forced the price up some two per
cent, when a resolution was passed by
the stock exchange, that the purchase
he made in small lots, and this relieved
the market 50 that the price fell back;
and there it stands at last reports, trial
of skill and endurance between the
clique who hold the stock and the parties
who have sold it and cannot deliver.
Great anxiety is felt by the parties who
are caught in the corner as to their
ability to continue the war until the ar
rival of the stock now on its way from
Europe. Jay Gould is in the net and
great pressure is being brought to bear
upon him, but he ''acts game, and de-
clares his intention to fight it out to
the bitter end. He undoubtedly feels
grieved that in this emergency he can
not issue new certificates, but that day
is passed with him. ..-.....
We had hoped that the lessons of the
past had learned people this side of the
water, to not invest in Erie unless they
desired to pay their money over to pro-
fessional gamblers, but the reports tell us
that the stock in this country was wide
ly scattered, and that many small deal
ers were caught There is however
truth in the old adage that burnt child
breads the fire, and when people are
scorched a few more times by Erie,
they may conclude to let it entirely
alone. Many family has been ruined
by it, and the gentlemen who manage
these things like the dealer at faro ia
BILE, chuckle at the verdancy of small
capitalists, and scope in their gains en-
tirely indifferent to the fact that they
are robbing the last hard earned savings
from men and women who placed con-
fidence in them. If people will exhaust
their ingenuity to acquire fortune by
sudden and irregular methods, instead of
by the honest but less rapid ways that
are consistent with integrity and an up
right manhood, they ought not to COM
plain that in the chances of the uncer-
tain path they have chosen they are en-
quilted in the pitfalls which are laid for
their feet by the designing highwaymen
they take for associates and advisers.

CORNER IN ERIE.

AS a counter-claim to the great adj
vantages that the country has gained
from the building of the Erie Railway,
we have been accustomed to offset the
injury resulting from the development
of the two great financial scoundrels of
the age, Jay Gould, and the late James
Fisk, Jr. Many men of influence and
integrity, intoxicated by the prospects
of rapid acquisition of wealth by in
vestments in the stock market, so that
the immoral tendencies of that species
of gambling did not act on their minds
with sufficient force to control them,
have been ruined in business and pros
poets, and in some instances been re-
duced to perjury, by what for long
time, was daily quoted as the fluctua-
tons of Erie. The Erie stock was wat
cred and manipulated by the Gould-Fisk
interest while they were in power, solely
for their personal profit; and in con-
Quoting their operations we all remem-
Der the establishment felt at the, extent
and audacity of their work, nvolving as
it did not only the overthrow of the com
mercial integrity of prominent business
men, but also corruptng the Legislature
and Judiciary of the great State of New
York, almost TO the point of revolution.
For few months past, however, since
the death of Fisk, the deposition of
Gould by the strategy of Gen. Sickles.
and the impeachment of Barnard and
Cardozo, the bulletins of the stock market
have not been constantly filled by the
flying antics of Erie, as heretofore. and
the people had begun to hope that they
were not TO again see emblasoned I,esore

Tomor to be industriously circulated that
large quantities of Erie stock had Just
arrived from Europe by steamer. This
increased the disposition of dealers to
sell ''short," until three firms of Dutch
brokers had purchased in for future de-
livery some fifty thousand shares. They
then made calls for the stock of the
