Railroad Meeting at MarysviIIe.

The Marysville Appeal of Friday
had the following touching appeal for
action in the railroad line: "An adj
journed railroad meeting will be held
at the Water Works building this af-
ternoon, when the Committee on SUBJ
scriptiOn to the capital stock of the
Marysviile and Knights Landing
Railroad is expected to report. We
hope to see q large meeting of citi-
zens, and it is desirable that this en-
terprise should not lag. If our people
intend to build this road this season in
time for moving the crops, they have
no time to spare. The subscriptions
must be promptly made and the or
ganization completed. We judge from
the tenor of the Nevada papers that
the Nevada and Colfax road is likely
to fail for want of subscriptions. We
hope our enterprise will not take the
same course for the same reason. To
accomplish the proposed undertaking,
owners of real estate in Marysville and
Sutter county who can spare thou
sand dollars must subscribe to the cap
ital stock. Several men of wealth in
this city offer to take $4,000 in stock,
provided the number can be increased
to eight or ten. Let the ball roll
along.''

when first asked to sign the bill grant
ing a franchise for this road, "What q
pity that resolutions can't build rail-

Briggs Girl.

Our neighbors, the Briggses, have
had trouble with their hired girl. She
arrived in this country only last
month, and she has never seen gas
in houses. The first night of her stay
at the Briggses, the family smelt gas
strongly after herretirement, and upon
going to her room found that she had
blown the light out. Mrs. Briggs
woke her and showed her how to turn
it off properly. But the next night,
fearing to trust her, Mrs. Briggs gave
her a candle to go to bed by. About
midnight Mrs. Briggs woke, and look
ing out, she saw the light was still
burning brightly in the girls room.
She went up to ascertain what was the
matter. She found that the girl, after
spending an hour trying to extinguish
the candle by fumbling with the gas
cock, was now endeavoring to turn off
the candle by twisting the handle of
the candlestick. They think of giving
her dollar week more than they
promised her, because she knows less
than they thought she did.

Miscellaneous Grange Items.

There are over 300 Changers in Jack
son county, Oregon.
There are now ten Oranges in Mon
tana, with prospect of twice that
number in the Spring.
There now exist 165 Oranges in this
State, with an average membership of
ninety-five, making an estimated to-
tai of 1865 members.
The influence of the Changers in
favor of cheap transportation seems to
be felt, at least by the railroad compa-
panies. The price per carload of cat
tie from Chicago to New York is said
to be reduced from $l35 to $50, Buffalo
and Albany from $50 to $35, Buffalo
to New York, from $50 to $45. 1t is
evident the Changers are gradually
becoming power in the land.
The New York State Grange met in
Albany on the Goth ult., and adopted
resolutions accepting the declaration
Of the National Grange at st. Louis,
demanding legislation to open and i'm
prove avenues of traffic; cheaper trans
portation; a pro rata freight law; low
canal tolls, and the canal debt funding
amendment, and favoring reasonable
temperance reform legislation.

The CLOSING Of an Era.
From the Boston Journal,

The death of Mr.. Sumner reminds us
of the havoc that has been made in
the ranks of those who stood forward
as the champions of the Union in the
hour Of its supreme struggle. 1t was
but little more than dozen years ago
and yet majority pr the best known
have disappeared. Take Lincoln's
first administration for instance; seven
of it's members are gone, viz: Lin
coin himself; Seward, his Secretary of
State; Chase and Fessenden, both Of
his Secretaries Of the Treasury; STAN
ton, Secretary of War; Caleb B. Smith,
Secretary of the Interior; and Edward
Bates, Attorney General. Besides
these may be mentioned as among the
potent and representative men OF that
era, now no more, Thaddeus Stevens,
John p. Hale, Horace Greeley and
John A. Andrew. None of these fell
in battle, though the war may have
shortened their lives. Great crises are
devouring in their nature; if men live
fast, they also die. In few years it
is only here and there that the rising
generation will be pointed to some
spared monument of the second revo-
lutionary age in the history OF the Re
public. Let them be treated with a
consideration due to the magnitude of
the cause they upheld, when their
fidelity must tell upon our lives like
the very sunlight and air Of heaven.
The era, too, of which they formed
part, is closed. No portentious cancer
remains to be cut out of the nations
heart; the Union is re-established on
imperishable foundations, if only We
keep it there. Henceforth we are to
be concerned, apparently only with
small matters in comparison-with
measures of finance, of domestic policy,
of civil service system and just admin
istration. And yet in this humber
plane of duties there is no better ex-
ample left to us than that of Charles
Summer. The same lofty conceptions
of duty, the same constant appeal to
pure principle, is needed to carry the
nation through besetting dangers,
which are none the less formidable
because they are ordinary and unob-
trusive in appearance.
