With the moonbeams thro' them drifting,
Like some soulless phantom litti>g.

Heavenly light from Loves pure dart,

Leaves its shadows on the heart.
Shadows rest upon the stream,
Shadows float in upper air,
Sweets of:life's bewildering snare,
Bitter shades soon cloud the dream.

Every life has known its sorrow,

Forrest mildly assented. Whereupon the barber
remarked that he was glad to make the Generals
acquaintance, as his brother was soldier in the
Federal army. ''Wh era is your brotherr asked
the General. 'He was killed at Fort Pillow -

The Busin ess Of rele.r.phv.

President OrtOn, OF the Western Union
Telegraph Company, presented to his stock
holders. at their annual meeting lately q
report which must have been az gratifying

The executive ability displayed by Mr..
Orton in the administration of this vast
trust is something quite exceptional. al
though not at all surprising To those who
know the man and his wonderful organic.
ing and managerial talent The corpora
ton under its peculiar policy is certainly
able to exhibit both progress and prosperity;
albeit it could hardly tie otherwise in view
of the 'enlightened se]f-interest" which
has long been the avowed principle OF its
administration, namely, that the business
Of telegraphy would admit of no eompeti-
ton and must Of necessity &c q monopoly

In squaripg its practice with this princi
pie, the Western Union Company has spared
no pains nor expense in its efforts to absorb
or destroy whatever came IN its way or
could be dvantageou.ly alnalgamated with
it, until the capital stands in Gal ,073, 40 and
the bonded debt e5.9iG,9lO. The profits, as
reported by President Or.on. have averaged
for the past eight years s., $4,000 per an
mum. The results Of last year were not
quite up to this average, giving $2506, $50
of profit, or e25l ,042 less than the profits OF
1873. This falling Off is explained by Mr..
OrtOn as resulting from the reduction OF
rates which took effect July I. 1873, and
also from the general stagnarion in business
which has followed the financial panic OF
last fall.
The enormous business transacted by
this 0vergrown corporation is well shown
by Mr.. OrtOn's report. At the close Of the
year the company operated l,5o5 miles OF
line, us, l35 miles of wire, and controlled
GlsS offices. Its receipts from all sources
were $9,262, 66l, and the expenses $685.

are given by Mr.. Orion, besides those we

Corpes.Bagaere,

The Baltimore Gazette, one Of the Dem.
ocratic organs OF Maryland. finds special
delight in the fact that only two Of her
delegates were born outside of the State,
while the State OF Iowa is ceproacheG be-
cause "she has not single Senator or
Representative in Congress that was born
within her borders" When will this lunacy,
which has grown out OF the unfortunate
carpet-bagger, end! We shall next hear of
some Southern State boasting that not .
criminal can be found within the walls of
its prisons that was born outside OF its
borders, and making it 50 matter Of bitter
Teproach that Iowa or Wisconsin, or soma
other State, has not native sceundrel
within the clutches Of the law. This idle
bOasting over the native stock that fills the
Offices OF q State, or that represents 1t III
Congress, IS whiting the old State rights
doctrine to the little end Of nothing. II the
people Of q State are to elect only those
born on its soil, why not give the flrst
places to those who can establish the tact
that their fathers were equally fortunates
This would be decided Improvement over
the old know-Nothins doctrine; and would,
as Mark Twain rays, "Make . fellow ex-
tremely careful! where his ancestors were
born"
We fear that the unfortunate carpet-Aa.
will yet be the yulEation of the average
Southerner. IL has disturbed his brain al
ready. He sees u IN his sleep; he auDs
against it wherever he goes; he can't shake
it Oft; like BanIuo's ghost it won't down at
his bidding; and now he has 90: i. 40
badly that he is hunting up the genealoyy
of each Senator and Representative to tind
how many carpet-bags can be safely
charged to State. When we consider that
most OF our ancestors were carpet baggers,
and see before US the terrible alternative
OF acknowledging our descent from one, or
lalilng back on the noble red man, il ought
70 make US more charitable 20 the unfor-
tunate carpet-bagge1s whose enterprise has
driven them from home. After all, why
should we sickle over the exact spot where
we were born. The genuine satisfaction
that we saw the light of day somewhere
ought to De enough to satisfy any reasona-
BILE man, North or South TO be born in
Iowa and brought up in Maryland might be
an objection in Iowa. but why birth and
training in the last named State should be
Objectionable to the native Maryiander is
beyond our comprehension. The sooner our
Southern friends stop interfering with their
neighbors' carpet bags, and take care of
their own, the sooner " i'll they have some
thing to put in them to show others. and
be proud Of themselves. A we'll filed car
pet-bag is a good thing; an industrious
fellow to carry it is better one; and if the
South wishes to prosper it will invite every
honest carpet Dagger that comes within it's
