The Sailors Story.

ANE evening, not long since, number
" Of old ship-masters chanced to meet
at social supper, and after the cloth was
removed we went in for yarn spinning
And among our number was Captain Rich
ard Nutter, and finer man or better sailor
never trod deck. At length It came his
turn to tell a story, or, what we preferred
and what the rest of us had done-re-
late some incident OF experience in his own
life.
"Well, boys" he said, as he rejected the
wine, which was at that moment passed to
him for the first time, al will give you a
bit of the early part of my ocean life, and
ir is a very important bit, 700, for upon it
have built the whole of my subsequent
manhood"
We prepared to listen 10 Captain Nutter
with the most profound attention, for he
was not only an old seaman, but one of the
most successful commanders in our mer-
camille marine. We listened and his story
was as follows

rlddlIng for a Dancing Bridge.

The Franklin Institute Journal says I:
When the bridge at Colebrook Dale (the
first iron bridge in the world) was build
ing, fiddler came along and said to be
workmen that he could fiddle their bridge
down. The iiddlers thought this boast
fiddle-de-dee, and invited the itinerant mu-
sician to fiddle away to his hearts content.
One note after another was struck upon
the strings until one was found with which
the bridge was in sympathy. When the
bridge began to shake violently the incred-
ulous workmen were alarmed at the unex-
pected result, and ordered the fiddler to
stop.

go, the chilly vernal season
O., the slow returning summer!"
Sighed the "Epigea repens,"
Peeping forth to see if Flora
Had not come to wake her children
From the sleep of dreary winter.
But the rosy +" Epigea"
Shuddered as the chilly breezes
Rudely swept the perfume from her.
Waiting for the voice of Flora,
Soon she heard the Goddess calling,
Where the earth was bare and windy,
Calling for her breeze-born daughter,
"Anemosa nemorosa :"
Heard "Thalictrum," a frail cousin
OF the Wind-nower Anemone,"
Answering the regal goddess
From the couch of Anemore."
Scarce had Flora crossed the brooklet
Where the "Caltha" was abathing
When the ever-peevish "Crowfoot,"
Burning with her own harsh nature,
Rallied because the gentle Flora
Had SO long delayed to wake her -
Said the flowers had all been sleeping
Longer than IL was their habit;
That the "symplocarpus" never
Had been known to be SO tardy;
That the " Alder" next door neighbor,
Still had been an early riser.
"Softly, y said the gentle Flora,
"Add not TO thy fiery nature
Acrimonious words for Others,
Lest they too resort to railing"
"Go," said Flora to the "Crowfoot,"
eco where many smiling daughters
Spread their beauty o'er the landscape,
Scenting all the air with sweetness;
Learn from them that, late or early,
Every blossom has its mission. ~
Be thou, like the Erythronium,"
Ever meek ana unassuming;
Or like "Viola" sweet and lowly,
Constant when the tempest gathers.
Be not vain because the day-god
Clothed thee in his golden mantle;
Beauty shuns the brazen brightness,
Kneelfng where the softer bushes
OF the mild "Claytonia" greet her.
Short enough is your existence
For accomplishing your mission:
Waste 1t not in idle murmurs
At the season or the weather.
Even now thy mates are passing
IT, H. hat.
List there comes plaintive wailing
Trembling on the moaning zephyr.
IT'S the voice of lamentation
For the lost and lovely Primrose.
SO they pass but still their sweetness
Lives in grateful recollection.

THE EMIGRANT BILL.

The Assembly at Albany hesitates unneces-
sarily over the bill to create new Board Of
Emigration. If we were not satisfied that a
majority of the House does not understand
the purpose of the dilatory motions and the
embarrassing amendments proposed, the long
delay would be suspicious. Perhaps statement
of the secret of the opposition to the Senate
bill will make it clear to the Assembly that it
ought to be passed by that body at once.
Early in the session a bill was offered in the
Senate which named certain gentlemen who
were to be the Commissioners. This bill was not
only Objectionable because it took away the
appointing power from the Governor, but be-
cause the commissioners proposed in it were
in the interest of the Custom house Ring
Some of them were indeed Custom-hOuse
officials. These facts killed the BILL in spite
of the Republican support it had. When it
was found impossible to get the new Ring
into the Board, the next resort was to keep
the old Tammany men in power. To do this
it became necessary to defeat or delay the pend
ing Senate bill. This would enable Messrs.
OGOrman, Frear, and the others who were ap-
pointed by Tammany, to remain in authority
indefinitely. Here is another significant
proof incidentally offered of the close alliance
of the old and the new Rings. But in spite
of this opposition the pending Senate bill Civ
ing the appointment of new Board to Gov.
Dix was passed, and was reported to the
House OF March Z.
The efforts to defeat this bill, which has the
warm approval of all the Commissioners who
are active in reforming Castle Garden admin
istration. have been confined TO amendments

STEADY PROGRESS AT VERSAILLES.

There is an old maxim of legislative eti-
quette which says, &" A child should not be
given to nurse who cares not for itn But
it is nevertheless true that many infants have
succumbed to too much care, and equally GER
tain that Others have reached robust maturity
through judIciOus neglect. No one will assert
that the Republic in France was held in any
enthusiastic respect or affection by NJ. Theirs,
at the time when that veteran statesman be-
came the director of its fortunes. Yet it NAV
well be questioned whether any true lover of
the Republic could have administered its
interests in manner so well calculated to
secure its permanent establishment as this
platonic guardian, who has never uttered n
word in its favor, never avOwed himself it's
champion, never distinctly announced his
preference for it over the Monarchy. He has
been Loyalty supported by the Republicans,
although they did not wholly trust him he has
found his most serious annOyances to come
from the mOnarchists, who still pretend to be-
lieve he is one of them. A dozen times the
Government has been on the point of going
to pieces through incOmptability of views
between the President and his ancient friends.
but the crisis has always been surmounted by
apparent concessions to the monarchists which
have provoked the fiercest criticism of Repub-
licans, but which have generally turned out
to be no gain to the cause of reaction and no
loss to that Of the Republic. After all the
useless frightsand clamor of the last few
months, it is now plainly seen that the result
of the deliberations of the Committee of Thirty,
from which so much was feared by the Lib
erals and 80 much hoped by the Conservatives,
will be additional strength given to the hands
of NJ. Theirs and additional hope of perpetuity
to the Republic. The Conservatives had an over
wheming majority in the Committee-number
ing nineteen 10 eleven Republicans. They were

PURGE CONGRESS OF TIE ROBBERS.

We have already said that we deny the exist
ence of any moral right of members of Congress
to vote to increase their own salaries. We re-
gard the act to be robbery. 1t afiiXes a stain
of dishonor upon every man who is guilty OF
it. We care not who he is whether be be
Republican, Liberal, or Democrat-we de-
nOunce him all the same, and invoke the pub
lie condemnation upon him. We say, let
every man who engaged in it be driven from
public life Whether they be morally weak, or
moneyless, or going out of business when
they leave public life whether they wish to
make themselves partially even with colleagues
who by hook or by crook have got rich
while they have not, or whether they be South
Carolina representatives whose constituency
live by thieving, and who would as soon vote
themselves seventy-fve thousand dollars as
seventy-five hundred; in whatever scale or
company they are found, we say, Out with them.
That there is here and there a respectable name
among them is only so much more a reason
for the punishment. No name is respectable
enough to authorize fraud or shield robbery.
No name is respectable enough to be plead III
abatement of the sentence.
Unless there is stand to be made here
against public prOtigacy, 1t is as well not to
attempt to make it anywhere. We ask for no
partisan judgment. 1t is no question of party.
Men of all parties are alike implicated. 1t is
a question of upright conduct. 1t is ques-
ton of honorable actiOn-Of personal probity-
of maniness and public decency. There are in
diyidual men in public life who are destitute
of these qualities. They are always there. But
this action is not the action of a few such it is
the deliberate action Of Q majority Of both
branches % Il lie Congress of the United States
before the face of all the world 1t is pub
lie robbery, deliberately committed by the
whole political body wherein is centered the
national authority. 1t is not individuals only
who are disgraced. The nation is disgraced
by its representatives. If the people stand
calmly by and do not resent this conduct,
they have in the disgrace, shown themselves
as demoralized as their representatives.

that contingency by passing first, or also
special charter to some line decisively and
positively in competition, such as the Della
ware and Hudson, or the Air Line, or both.
There is little fear that either of these roads
would fall under the control of the monopoly
except under stress of penury, which the
capital of New-York would prevent in the
interests of metropolitan commerce. We have
said that the Pennsylvania cannot transact It's
existing business, which is evidence enough
that competing line would prosper. AS
the continent fills up behind the Della
ware not one but dozen roads Will De

mands of that vast territory which must

south of our State line, or even south OF inc

Jersey Division of the Pennsylvania, have
already gorged it, Before new roads can be

Ex-Speaker Smith took his turn at making
explanations, yesterday. He told the Assem-
bly, Committee of Investigation, what we all
knew before, that he received a retainer in
the Erie case from Gen. Sickles by the way of
Attorney General Barlow. He says nothing
about the kind OF service which he was to
render; but he does say that he sought to in
fuence legislation in any legitimate way"
That's the whole case nobody ever said that
he hired members to vote on any of the
measures which thereafter came before the
Assembly of which he was the presiding
officer. But he was hired to influence legis-
lation." He says he did influence it, Need
more be said

Does the Postmaster General recognize the
Importance of the notice he has had of the
dscOntinuance on April of the postal cars
on nine of the principal railroads of the cOun-
tryf The time is close at hand and brief for
making compromise. And yet some arrange
ment must be made temporarily, or until Con-
gress can remedy the blunder of refusing the
rates asked by the companies or making con-
tracts with other routes. If the rates are ex-
orbitant don't pay them. Yet it won't do to
let the mail service be obstructed or impaired
The discontinuance of the postal cars on these
routes will seriously impair the efficiency of
the service. 1t will Obstruct business incalcu-
lably; and that is consequence not to be
tolerated for a moment. The roads which
decline longer to run postal cars at the pres
ent rates are those centerng at this metropolis,
and to Obstruct the postal service of New
York is to affect injuriously the business of
the whole country. Possibly the railroads are
unreasonable and domineering in their de-
mands; but it is certain the Postmaster Gen
eral is delinquent in not assuring us Of facili-
