Cheap transportation.

Low rates and quick dispatch increase
all kinds Of business that relates to the
carrying of passengers, freight or letters
If the rates are too high, neither corn nor
grain can be sent from the extreme West
to the seaboard, and only limited guam
tity from places less remote. Not one
passenger would go to Kansas or Califor-
MIA where ten now go, if the stage-coach
were substituted for the railroad, the fare
remaining the same.
The actual cost of transportation de-
creases as the quantity OF merchandise
and number of passengers increase. Ii
there are two railroads Of the same length,
the one carrying double the quantity of
freight of the other, its expenses Will not
be fifty per cent. greater, for many OF them
bear no relation to the amount OF busl-
ness-as the general Office expenses, grad
ing, fencing, ties, and culverts.
In the mail service especially, by the
greater dispatch afforded by railroads
and the reduced postage, the mailed let
tiers have increased within few years
from forty millions to five hundred mill
ions, while the deficit of revenue is no
greater in proportion to the number OF
letters transmitted at three cents than
at the former average postage OF 10 cents
This principle applies still more strongly
to the telegraph; the rates are SO nigh
that few men can afford to use 1t, although
the gain in time over the mails is so
great. Abroad, at low rates, IL IS gener-
ally used. In England its use has more
than doubled within three years since the
telegraph has been connected with the
pOst-Office, while here the number OF tel
egrams has increased less than one-thIrd
The average rate for kilograms in England
is % cents; in all Europe, "a cents; In
America, 20 cents. The Postmaster-Gen-
eral recommends the union OF the teIe-
graph with the post-ofice by the purchase
and operation of the lines OF telegraph.
While all admit the greater cheapness
and more free use of the telegraph abroad,
some oppose this plan on the ground that
under a republican form of government
the telegraph cannot be managed as well
as under monarchy. If this be true, and
the people are unable to manage their
own affairs, then give Us king and aris-
tocracy at once. We do not participate
in these fears, and the sooner this ques-
ton is understood and decided the
better
Others oppose this plan on account of
the great outlay involved in the purchase
and extension of the line; and plan has
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1874-01-01

been proposed by committees of the Sen
ate and House of Representatives in Con-
greSs to whom the subject was referred,
by which kilograms will be received as
letters now are at all postoff1ces, and
at all telegraph offices, and transmitted
between the offices by parties furnishing
ana operating the lines at rates fixed by
Congress, not exceeding one cent a word
for kilograms transmitted 500 miles or less
by day. and 200 miles or less by night
a reduction of about fifty per cent of the
present rates-twenty-five cents for a
night telegram from ST Louis to New
York or New Orleans. This plan relieves
the post-office from the necessity of pur-
chasing and operating lines, while it util-
ICES ali its existing faculties, and places
the telegraph at once within the reach of
all classes. This system is in exact anal
ogy with the present postal service; all
correspondence will be received and de-
livered through the postoffice, the mailed
letter transmitted by contract with rail
road and stage-coach contractors, the tel
egraph letter by contract with the tele-
graph company. The benefits of this
plan are evident; it involves no constitu-
tional questions, and can be easily, quick
ly, and without cost to the General Gov
eminent, carried into practical opera

THE TWO HOMES.
By BAYARD TAYLOR.

By BAYARD TAYLOR.
My home was seated high and fair.
Upon mountains side:
The day was longest, brightest there;
Beneath, the world was wide.
Across ite blue, embracing zone
The rivers cleaned the cities sh0De,
And over the edge of the fading rim
1 saw the storms in the distance dim,
And the fash of the soundless thunder.
But weary grew the sharp, cold wine
OF winds that never kissed,
The changeless green OF hr and PINE
The gray and clinglng mist.
Above the granite sprang no bowers;
The soil gave low and scentess flowers;
And the drone and din Of the waterfall
Became challenge, taunClng call:
'''Tis fair tits fair in the valley:
OF all the homesteads deep and far
Ny fancy chung 10 one,
Whose gable burned. mellow star.
Touched by sinking sun.
Unseen around, but not unguessed,
The orchards made'a leafy nest:
The turf before it was thick, knew
And bees were busy the garden through,
And the windows were dark with roses
. IT'S happier there, below L sighed:
THE world is warm and near
And closer love and comfort hide.
That cannot reach me here
Who master is must be so blest
He'll share with me his sheltered nest
If down 10 the valley | should go,
Leaving the granite, pine and snow,
And the winds that are keen as lances.''
wandered down, by ridge and dell;
The way was rough and long;
Though earlier shadows round me fell,
| cheered them with my song.
The worlds great circle narrower grew,
Till hedge and thicket hid the blue;
Pint over the orchards near ST hand
The gable shone on the quiet land,
And far away was the mOuntaini
Then came the master; mournful-eyed
And stern Of brow was he.
30, planted IN such peace - cried,
Spare but the least to mel''
Who seeks he SAID, : this brooding haze,
The tamCness of these weary days?
The highways dust, the glimmer and heat,
The woods that fetter the young winds feet,
And hide the world and its beauty"
He stretched his hand; he looked afar
With eyes of old desire;
| saw my home, mellow star
That held the sunsets fire.
" But yonder home, = he cried, "hOW fart
Its chambers burn like gilded air;
/ know that the gardens are wild as Dreams
With the sweep of winds, the dash of streams
And the pines that sound as an antheml
. So quiet, SO serenely high
1t sits when clouds are furled,
And knows the beauty of the sky,
The glory of the world
Who there ahides must be so hlest
He'll share with me that lofty crest,
If up to the mountain | should go,
Leaving the dust and the glare below,
And the weary life of the valleyl"

A report from all the booms in the
Saginaw district shows that the following
quantities of logs were RATED out during
the season of 1878: Tittawabassee, 275,-
100000 feet; Cass, 1907 5S14O feet; Rifle,
S0,S72,6 feet; Augres, 81, 2S1 ,236 feet;
Kawakawler, 80 49, 54 feet; Bad, 5O,OOO,-
600 feet; Au Sable, 96,148,0O0 feet. Total,
feet were run out of the same streams.
There was left over on these streams at
the close of the season, 437, 900 feet of
logs, half of which are inside of boom
limits, and the balance hung up. The es-
timated cut of mills on the Saginaw Riv-
er, the past season, is 100000 feet, the
balance of the logs enumerated above
having been sawed at Tawas and Au Sable.
The stock of lumber on hand on the river
is estimated at IT'S ,000, 600 feet, but small
percentage ofwhich is of the upper grade
The estimated amount of logs that will
be wintered on the above streams is 800,
600, 600 feet, against 1000 100000 feet dur.

THE Cuban revolution has eaten up
over a hundred thousand lives already.
Over $4,000 Spanish soldiers have been
sacrificed in the effort to put down "mere
insurrection," "slight municipal dis
turbance" 1t don't help matters much
to call carbuncle mere pimple, but if
this Cuban rebellion is a mere insured
ton, what would Spanish dictionary
makers call revolution?
