The robbery of the express car ON the

was of so tragical a nature that, represent

the Detroit TriJunc Of Saturday, the train

American Express company was next the
engine, and was only occupied by the mes

and all the doors locked Several thousand
dollars were in the safe, before which sat
the messenger, Mr. $. Il. Heath, sorting
the packages OF money. When the train
had reached point Il few miles beyond
New Buffalo, Heath, who was bending
down, saw Il mans foot softly placed be-
tween him and the safe, and before he
could turn himself he was struck violent
blow ON the forehead. HIS assaiant at the

overlooked such tiendsh proceeding as is

that he was one of the victims of the terri

though the remainder of the report of the

his neglect is that he is criminally guilty of

therefore, fearful that his confession of

sin railroad law, which has provoked such
an unfortunate controversy between the
state and the railroads, as one Of the most
imperfect and unequal pieces of legislation
it was possible TO devise. In one of the
suits recently brought against the Milwau-
Ike & St. Paul railway company, we have
an Illustration Of the way in which the
law works. A quantity of lumber was
shipped from Oshkosh TO Oconomowoc q
distance OF seyenty-fye miles. According
to the new law, SO per car is allowed for
the first twenty-five miles, 50 for the sec
and, and 50 for the third, or thirteen mites
thereof The law makes no discrimination
in regard TO connecting roads. In the pre-
sent case siXty-tlirce miles of the seventy
five were ON the Northwestern road, and
the remaining twelve on the Milwaukee &
St. Paul. Accordingly the Northwestern
road claimed the entire amount allowed by
law, viz, IS for the first twenty-five miles.
- for the second, and 50 for the next thir-
teen miles. The Milwaukee & st. Paul
road, unable TO comprehend the logic of
beng compelled to carry freight for moth
ing, attempted TO collect 50, and the ship
per repleyined his his goods. Hence the
suit. This, however, is one instance out
of a hundred, in which if the new law is to

reduction Of Freight tariffs beyond the pos
sibility of meeting working expenses, but
an actual corfiscatlon of the roads, of such
sort that thpv will Inc copppIlpI to rnu1or
their services without any compensation
whatever. The bungling way in which
this law is construed, and its cOntravention
of all principals of equity, ought to be
sufficient reasons for its repeal Doubtless
the difficulties will be satisfactorily adj
justcd after n while, but, in the mean
time, there must be a vast amount of costly
and veXatious litigation, damaging equally
the roads and the state, and disastrously

many priyations and hardships they were
compelled to undergo if they remained
with the husband and father, to allow, if
he could prevent it, his children, or chill
dren's children, from undergoing the same
experience Would that all others could
understand and appreciate the refining and
enrolling influence of the family circle
of wife and children. This trait of char
acter, taking with another, makes General
Taylor one of the best examples to which
we can point our American young men
we refer to his simplicity of character.
From being almost unknown, he, by his
brilliant and substantial victories during
the Mexican war, at once leaped to the
front rank of generals and heroes and soon
after, received the highest civic office in
the gift of the people. He must have
known the estimation in which he was
held by his country and the world, vet he
was the same unpretending man, without
the least sign of ostentation or display, and
always, when possible, seeking the quiet of
the home circle. These same Characters
ties he carried TO the presidential chair,
where he was the beloved of the nation for
his integrity. simplicity of character, love
of home and its cnnobling influence Such
characters on the part of all of our young

around them, would have saved millions

ROME INFLUENCE.

In speaking of the marriage of Miss Mel
lie Grant, the New York Ledger recalls an
incident, by way of contrast, in the life of
President Zachary Taylor, showing what a
true, noble-hearted man he was, and how
much he thought of the pleasant, noble life
which one could pass amid his family. IT
seems that General Grant is not pleased
with the present marriage, preferring,
rather, that his daughters should be wives
of army officers, but with General Taylor
it was different. When Colonel Bliss
asked him his daughter in marriage, he
stated, in substance, that he would not give
his consent to one of his daughters to mar
ry an army officer; he had, himself, been
an army officer all his life, and he knew but
too well how much such an officer had to
be separated from his family, and how
