Iitor of the Standard:

To the Editor of the Standard:
Please allow me little space in your
paper to call the attention of your read
ers to the proposed narrow gauge rail
road (the Washington, Cincinnati & st.
Louis R. R. }, which will cross some por-
tion of your county. 1t was chartered
by the Virginia Legislature three years
ago to build road across that State from
Washington toward PIT. Pleasant, w. Va,
with branch to Richmond. Its incor-
porators are now at work under that
charter, building a road across the She
nandoah valley. But it was the desire OF
the projectors of this road to make it a
great low freight trnnk line between the
Mississippi river and tide water. To en-
able them to effectually carry out these
original designs, they have gone before
Congress asking for a national charter
covering that part of the right already
given, and extending it westward from
PIT. Pleasant via Cincinnati to st. Louis
with branch line from some point west
of Cincinnati to Chicago. The bill pro-
vides for government aid by the indorse-
ment of the bonds of the company to
the amount of $4,000 per mile. The
bonds to run forty years, bear six per
cent interest, and to be issued to the
road as each section of ten miles is COM
pleted. Upon any default in the pay
ment of any installment of the interest or
sinking fund, the Treasurer of the Unit
ed States may take possession of the
road and dispose of it as seems to be for
the best interests of its creditors. In
return for this government aid the bill
provides that the road shall be under
the control of Congress in the regulation
of its charges for freight or passengers.
The bill fixes the rate for freight for the
first year after the road is completed at
nine mills per ton per mile, to be de
creased ! mill each year till the rate of
u mills is reached. Work on the road
must be begun in each State within six
months after the passage of the BILL and
the whole road must be completed with
in three years The immense benefit
such a road would be to every community
treyersed by its line must be apparent to
every one Indeed, its influences on
freights would be felt at great distances
from the line. This is the first road pro-
posed between the east and west, the de
sign of which is to solve the great ques-
tion of cheap transportation, and as such
it should receive the support and encour-
agement of the friends of that move
ment in every quarter. To afford an op-
portunity for the friends of this import

PROTECTIVE LETTERS.

The Hon. George Hoskins, OF New York,
has introduced in the House of Representa-
tives a bill which should engage the serious
attention OF all interested in agricultural aud
horticultural progress 1t provides that any
person who originates or discovers any new
aud valuable plant, being n new variety Of
any fruit, grain, herb, root, tree, wood,
plant, shrub, or the seeds, nuts or the cut
tings thereof, and which has not before been
publicly offered for sale, shall receive pro
tectlve letters" emitting him to the exclusive
aud sole right and liberty of growing, propa.
eating and selling the same for the term Of
twenty EIGHT years. He is also entitled to
the right of applying for an extension OF his
protective letters for n further period Of
fourteen years, upon complying with the
regulations in regard to original projections,
within six months of the expiration Of the
first term.
We think few will deny that man who
spends years OF labor aud thought in crossing
or hybridizing varieties, or species of grain,
vegetables, fruits or plants, and succeeds in
producing superior variety calculated TO
benefit mankind, is Justly entitled to that
protection that shall insure him proper
reward for his years of patient toll. II the
originator Of new vegetable products is not
entitled to some degree Of protection, then
no inventor OF new implement, or machine,
or author of book is entitled to protection

THE HAYSEED PARTY.

Certain waggish persons, just upon the
eve of the adjournment Of the Legislature,
conceived the idea of giving the members ga
goodbye party, and that it might be a
fitting occasion for giving prominence to the
sentiments just now so conspicuous, deter
mined that it should be called the hayseed
party, #" and that full party dress, as applied
to ladies, should mean calico, and nothing
but calico, apparent, with timothy heads at
tackled to or hay seed sprinkled upon the
hair; and that gents should wear their
threadbare rigs, The making Of calico
dresses was the order in the city for week
or more, and clerks were kept busy with
yardstick aud scissors. The Aborn House
was the place and its magnificent parlors
and dining hall were used for once to give
prominence to that calling which underlies
and sustains all other callings. While the
farmers movement was weak, and tremb'
ling upon an uncertain foothold, such par
~ would have meant derision aud ridicule'
But genuine respect for the calico aud timo'
thy heads prevails now, and the calico was

hulistic saunterings, he would charge out Of
the window aud kill himself; so they per-
suadod him to sleep with his little brother
William, and tn tie one end of u rope around
his body and tho other end around the waist
of little William. The very first night after
this arrangement was made, BelshIzzar
dreamed that burglar WAS pursuing him
with dagger. So he crept over to Williams

Anigh to death for just one word from you;
And you, in turn, were proud, and would not answer
For anything that could say or do
And, sometimes, when lie 'tWixt sleep and waking.

But when spring to give you eager welcome,

And arise and vainly try to open
The closed door that is twixt you and me!

a sniI.E AND A KISS AT THE Door.
BY SHERMAN D. RIcHARDso


No mansion b nine, with costly design,
Rising up with grand pillars and towerst
But cot by the way, Imprinted and gray
Mid the uncovered hedges and bowers.
Yet pass by the gate Of the wealthy and great
With never a sigh for their store,
For know shall Hnd at the cottage Of mine,
A smile and kiss at the door
Tho weary my feet nom the toll and the heat,
As labor on day after day,
Yet this ismy ssng, when the shadows grew long,
And the evening tiuts melt Into gray
What care for toll, OF the weary turmoil
That the future may have me IN store,
With my heaven on earth with It's love guarded
hearth,
And smile and kiss at the doori"
No king on a throne has the worth that own,
Or pleasures that can command
For the gold laden crown makes the brow wear a
frown,
And wealth strikes palsied the hand.
Then away with life Of contention and strife,
Tho the world should be waiting before;
Give me I" love in a cot, and oontentmsnt my lot
Aud smile and kiss at the door.
