GLORY OF THE SOUTHERN SKIEs.-The
near the cross, is indescribable. There,
where the thick stream of bright stars
which skirt the milky way crosses the river
of light, its brilliancy is wondrously in
creased, and it exhibits magnificence
unequalled in any other portion of the
heavens. There glitter multitude Of
bright stars, more thickly scattered than
in any region within our northern view,
while the background is gorgeous in its
splendor. Often, on some clear night
when it has suddenly been brought to my
view in passing some edifice or turning
some street corner, have stood amazed at
the flood of light which it diffused; and
often, too, after leaving the observatory in
the early morning hours, after night of
weary labor, have felt reluctant to aban-
don the magnificent spectacle to seek the
much needed repose. In close proximity
are the rich consultations of the Centaur,
the keel and sails of the ship Argo and the
Wolf, and the glory reaches through the
Alta even to the southern portion of the
Scorpion. There are large tracts which
rival the Pleiades in the profusion of their
stars cleaning upon background of ne
bula. Elsewhere the southern heavens are
not so brilliant as the northern, nor do they
contain so many stars as bright as the
faintest which we can discern; but there is
nothing between the two poles to compare
in beauty with the tract to which refer.

The eornet band of this place came very
near meeting with an accident on Saturday
last, which no doubt would have resulted
in loss of life. They left town in the even
ing with a six-horse team, destined to Mr..
G. P. Whitaker's, at Principle Furnace, to
entertain him with music as recompense
for the use of his tug boat in May last on
their excursion down the river. At the
crossing at Charlestown they very nearly
came in contact with the train that leaves
here at 6:13 p. NJ. So near was the train
that it struck the large drum which was
suspended to the rear part of the wagon.
In the excitement some jumped out, injur-
ing their instruments considerably. No
one was hurt except Joe Coslett, who had
his leg sprained.

THE RAILWAY ENGINEER.

The first duty of the railroad surveyor is
to trace, in a general way, the course of
the projected railroad upon All ordinary
map by means of a careful study of its
mountain ranges and its water-courses.
The more detailed and elaborate the map
the more perfect can he make his prelimi-
nary and office survey. This being done,
the real work of the survey begins. For
this purpose the chief engineer makes a
general reconnaissance of the whole ground,
generally on horseback. He provides him
self with the best map or maps he can
obtain. He picks up as best he can more
definite and precise local information. To
succeed in his work he must have qualities
which are rare, qualities which no mere
school of engineering can impart. In his
profession, as in every other, there is a
certain something indefinable in native
genius, something which may perish unused
for want of development and training, but
which no mere development and training
can wholly supply.
The engineer must be a man of ready
parts. He must have himself always we'll
in hand. He must understand human
nature, and know how to deal with it, He
must be equally at home in the log hut
among the mountains and in the velvet
carpeted and mahogany furnished office in
the great city. He must be man of quick
eye and abundant resources, able to meet
an exigency, or to vary in detail and on
the moment a carefully matured plan for
the purpose Of avoiding an unexpected
obstacle, and reaching the general result
with the least expenditure of time and
money. The engineer has tunneled the
Alps, and an expert assures US that with
money enough it would be possible to con-
struct permanent floating bridge across
the Atlantic. But there are great many
things which it does not pay to accomplish,
and the successful engineer must be able
to subordinate professional pride to practi-
cal results; to avoid obstacles that can be
avoided, and to overcome only those that
he can not escape; to make the fewest
rock cuttings, tunnels, culverts and bridges;
and to be known and honored less for what
he has done than for what he has avoided

SCRIBNER FOR SEPTEMBER.-Thed dis
cussion of the historical aspects of the Ger
man Death Mask, to which iSeri5nsr has
already devoted an elaborate illustrated
article July, 1874, is supplemented in the
September number of this magazine by a
virle and enthusiastic paper from the art
lists standpoint, entitled GA Study of
Shakespeare's Portraits, by William Page,
who returns from Darmstadt, whittier he
went for the express purpose of studying
the Mask, with an earnest conviction of it's
authenticity, based upon moral evidence.
Accompanying this article are two fine en-
cravings from Mr.. Pages photographs of
the Mask, and schedule of it's measure
ments, the important ones ten or twelve in
number) exactly coinciding with those in
the Stratford Bust, which it is claimed was
made from the German Mask. The num-
Der opens with an article on "Chicago "by
]. w. Sheahan, of the "Tribune of that
city. Col. Warnings vacation series
concludes with jaunt to Guernsey and
Sark, but it is rumored that this is not the
last we are to have of this agreeable writer.
Other illustrated articles are: "The Cross
of Cadmon," by Charles A. DeKay; more
of "The Mysterious Island" and two chap
tiers of DR.. Hollands "Story of Seven
oaks" Mr.. Stedman's critical papers are
continued with study of Minor Victor

volume to be issued by Osgood in the Au-
tumn. In "Topics of the time" DR.. Hol-
land sums up the Beecher trial, discusses
"The Jury System" in general, and has

The Evangelists, Moody and Sankey,
arrived at New York on Saturday in the
steamer Spain, but at the request of both
gentlemen there was no formal reception.
They were met, however, in the bay by
Rev. L. P. Rowland, of Philadelphia; D.
w. McWilliams, of Brooklyn; VIM. E.
Dodge, Jr., and George II. Stuart, and on
the arrival of the steamer at the dock a
prayer of thanksgiving for their safety was
offered. They will take recess of month
or two before entering on their labors in
this country. Mr.. Moody stopped at Spring
field, Mass, Monday night, en- route to his
home in Mortified.
The London Times of Saturday, in its
review of the crop prospect, says that with
a continuance of fair weather in England,
and should the American crop be secure d
in good ORDER there will be very little rise
in the corn market. The reports from
France are less unfavorable than was ap
pretended, the recent rains in that country
having done but little injury.

Run Away.-A horse belonging to Mr..
William Bowen came down North Street,
on Thursday morning, at spanking rate,
with a set of single harness on him. In
attempting to turn at the intersection of
Main Street he slipped and fell on the pave
ment, which stopped his headlong career,
as we'll as relieved sundry spots on his side
and head of a portion of the skin.
A breech band buckle came loose at the
top of Bell Hill and the dearborn ran on
the ANIMAL which was the cause of the
run off. Coming in contact with large
wagon near the foot of the hill, at a mar
row place in the road, one of the dearborn
shafts struck the wagon wheel, the shock
throwing Mr.. Bowen out, at the same time
releasing the horse from the dearborn
Mr.. Bowen was slightly injured, by a
sprained wrist but otherwise escaped. He
followed his horse into town, finding him
tied up in the Howard House yard. Not
much injury the result all around.
Glut of the Peach Markets.-The dis
couraging news comes from all the peach
markets that they are glutted with poor
fruit, for which there is no sale. Many
thousands of baskets are given away and
allowed to rot on the wharves. The wet
weather is, to large extent, the cause of
this calamity to the peach growers, but it
would have taken place had the season
been one of the most favorable. The larg-
est crop OF peaches has been raised on the
peninsula this season that has ever been
known, and the fruit is mostly small, es-
pecally Of the early varieties. This i'm
perfect fruit is sent off at the rate of sew
eral hundred car and boat loads per day to
the cities; and the best of it will not keep
twenty four hours. The consequence is
that it cannot even be given away, and
much of it rots where it has been landed.
Had none but the very best been shipped
ready sale for it at good prices would have
been found. Every man whose ground is
numbered with Hale's Early should cut
them down at once. They are miserably
worthless peach, and will scarcely keep a
day under the most favorable circumstances.
The avarice of the peach growers defeats
itself. Will they learn wisdom from this
severe experience?

REMARKS BY THE WIG.

We publish what M S." has to say or
temperance reform; but if he will substi.
tute any other abuse which is tolerated by
society and the laws his argument will APP.
ply equally as well. His argument strikes
at the root of all laws to protect society
against injury from the bad passions and
inclinatious of men. Moral .Suasion is a
good preventive of theft, robbery, gam
bling houses, brothels, etc, but it is found
necessary to have laws to restrain those
who are beyond the reach of the mild
means of moral suasion. These disguise
pleas in favor of whisky drinking and sell
ing do more to create sympathy for the bad
practices than all other means. So many
people are deceived by the shallow reason
ing. No law attempts to restrain any man
from drinking rum, but from trading in it.,
and because the trade is hurtful to society.
A man has as much right to bet "his own
money" on the roulette or cards as he has
to spend it in whisky. The practice in
both instances corrupts his morals, units
him for useful work, brings poverty and
crime on himself and family, and thus in
jures the State in morals and wealth. The
public grog shop and gambling house sup
ply the medium and hold out the temptation
to crafty dangerous appetites, and multi
ply the evils tenfold. Placing both under
ban of the law will not entirely abolish the
evils, but it will lessen them very materially.
This is logical conclusion confirmed in
every instance by experience. One cause
why SO many restraining temperance laws
have been repealed is the support the rum
party have derived from this silly twaddle
about "moral suasion," which so many
well-meaning people deal in, without ever
going down to the bottom of the subject
and ascertaining the exact power exerted
by moral suasion on society. Moral Sua-
sion is never SO powerful as when it has
the sword of justice at it's back. Then,
arrayed in its white robes of peace, it goes
forth conquering and to conquer"

While the sky was yet bright, in the morn

While the sky was yet bright, in the morn
ing,
He was called to the labor of life;
Scarcely time to behold its adjoining,
Though with love for the beautiful rife.
As the sun mildly beamed on his childhood,
One so active, found something to do,
But the flowers we're so sweet in the wild
wood,
He would loiter to gather few.
Higher now, in the blue vault of heaven,
Mounts the sun, with its strengthening
power,
Some instruction, and great grace is given,
Then the labor for souls fills the hour.
Why they're perishing now and forever,
And the "King's business requireth
haste"
Did he seek cool shade? Never! never!
Nor allow the bright moments to waste.
Now oppressive the heat, dark clouds lower,
No abatement of toll, hand or heart,
Yet refreshingly falleth the shower,
Causing all with new vigor to start.
The meridian is past with its splendor
And the gathering time fully come;
Oh. how welcome the call low and tender,
"Come, and rest thee, forever, at home"
