RAPID TRANSIT

The city is and has been for years trying
to get some better way to get from one end
of the island to the other, but so far to no
purpose. With the exception Of the ele-
waited railroad on the west side of the city,
there is nothing better Or faster than the
common horse-car or the primitive stage,
and as the companies owning these lines
have untold wealth. and as every thing in
iu Albany is governed by money, it is pro-
babe that there will be nothing devised for
years to take their place. But it is q ter
rible want, nevertheless. II takes half the
people of the city n full hour TO get from
their homes TO their places of business,
which takes up two hours of the twenty
four in travel. Then the discomfort of the
travel is something fearful. If it rains, the
cars swarm with people. Every seat is
occupied, the aisle is crowded with stand
ing men and women, the platforms front
and rear are jammcd, even the steps arc
occupied. When it is hot the crowd is the
same &; in short, from to 10 in the morn
ing, coming down, and from to ! in the
afternoon, going up, each, car is a moving
purgatory. The trouble the New Yorker
has TO face is, he cannot live near his bus-
ness, because rents are 50 fcarfulIy high ;
he cannot live away from his business, be-
cause of the waste of time and discomfort
of going to and fro. But the latter alterna-
tive is the one he has to accept, and cunse.
queutlY he stands and rides and growls
three hundred and twelve days in the year.
Various remedies are suggested. There is
an underground railroad, the cars intended
to be propelled by compressed air, on which
s0mc hundreds of thousands of dollars have
been spent; but it never will be finished.
Then it is proposed to build railway
around the city, but that has been headed
of. Railroads are projected underground, i,
in the air, on pillars, propelled by all
sorts Of motive power, but nothing has
come of any of the schemes. 1t is singular
that city Of Il million of people should not
be able to find way through 3 difficulty
40 simple. .fr--.. ~ 4r..-.rs

1 FLIGHT FROM THE IN
QUESTION.

Archibald Bower, whose singular
experiences Of an Italian inquisi-
ton in the last century we propose
to narrate, was q native OF Scotland,
being born thore about the year
1886. Whom only five years old,
he was sent over by his parents to
an uncle in Italy. In that country
his education was entirely conduct
cd, and he Became SO great::a pro-.
ficient in learning as to be appoint
cd when yet very young, to various
important scholastic offices. Event
ua!ly, he was made Professor of
Rhetoric and Logic in the college
at Macerata. Here was established
an inquisition. the constitution Of
which may be gathered pretty accu-
rately from Bowers own account.
i. The Holy Tribunal, he saws, con-
sisted of an inquisitor, who was
president OF it, and twelve counsel
lors. The latter were chosen by the
inquiaitor either from among the
ecclesiasties or the laity, but were
always men eminent for learning.
They had a salary of about two
hundred pounds per annum each,
and an apartment in the inquisition
house.; where the inquisitor resided.
There wore in addition great priv
and much honor to the coun-
sellers, besides q certainty Of good
p~referment. The offences coming
under their cognizanoe were purely |
those against the faith or practice
Of the Church, and these were gen.
very triAing-such as doing
or saying anything disrespectful
with regard to saints, images, relics,
Or the like. When any person was
accused before the inquisitor, o
council was summoned always in
he middle Of the night. Il any !,

other early writers on our system

Of intelligence. The colored race,
however defective in other respects,
have at least one virtue par excel-

"Whoever traduces the Aag, the

as enunciated in the Declaration of
independence, is sure to find q foe

ern citizen believes that there is any
hatred in the Virginia negro to his
former master, aa. such, he is mis-
taken. If any believe that the ne
gro loves the hated "carpet-bagger"
because he is from the North, he is
equally in error. The negro has
strong domestic ties. His blood
relations are frequently the house
hold of his old master, and he feels
q tender regard for them; but the
that lifted him from a
chattel TO a human being, he veneer
ates. His country's flag is the en-
blem Of his liberty, and he yields to

Oh! a wonderful stream is the river Time,
As it runs through the realms Of tears,
With o f~aultiess rythm. and a musical rhyme
And q broader sweep, and q surge sublime
And blends with the oeseen Of years.
How the winters arc drifting like fakes o!
snow,
And the summers Ike buds between,
| And the year in tho sheaf-ao they come and
they so
! On the rivers breast, with it's ebh and flow.
AS it gidos in the shadow ard eheo1,
There's q magical isle up tho river limo,
Wheroth the softest Of airs are playing;
There's a cloudloss sky and q tropical cline,
And 3 song as sweet as a vesper chino,
And the Jnnes with the roses are staying.
And the name Of this isle is the Long Ago,
And VIC bury our treasures there:
There are brows Of beauty and bosoms Of
snow
There are heaps Of dust but we loved them
There ere trinkets and tresses Of hair.
There arc fragments Of song that nobody
sings,
q lutte unswept, and a harp without
strings,
There are broken VOWS, and pieces Of rings, |
And tho garments that she used to wear.
There are hands that FRO waved when the !
fairy shore <
By the mirage is lifted in cir:
Md we sometimes hear through the turbu-
lent roar,
voices We heard in the days gone
before,
When the wind down the river is fair.
III! remember ior aye no the blessed isle,
All the day Of life till night
