The Centennial Log Cabin.

A correspondent at Philadelphia represents
the country home Of the New Highlander Of
1776 as follows; "Night on the Centennial
grounds brings rest TO the weary, as the con-
slant stream Of visitors depart, and the
shades of evening fall. Yesterday. lovely
May day, ended in thunder storm. The
black sky illumined by incessant chain
lightning, and the rolling thunder, gave sub
Unity to the scene, while the pattering of
rain all night ON the roof of the New Eng
land log cabin, was natures own music, and
seemed fitting accompaniment to the tick
ing of the four hundred years old clock in

mornings, and gives hoinelike aspect to
the place that delights visitors. This is
the best thing on the grounds" they exclaim.
The contrast to the fine buildings and the
luxury and wealth of foreign countries they
contain, seems refreshing, while the simple
ity and LONELINESS of the surroundings here
carry every one back TO childhood days. al

RAILROAD DIsCRIMISATIoNs.--l really
does depend good deal on whose OK is
gored. New York merchants are complain
ing of the discrimination in favor Of Boston
by railroads TO the West. For years Boston
has meekly tolerated outrageous discrimi-
nation against her, because she could not
help herself aud New York merchants re-
garded the imposition as religiously proper,
according to the Vanderbilt theory of the
fitness of things. Among other dealers, the
sugar and coffee merchants complain that
the dealers in these articles in Boston are
enabled 10 have their freight transported to
Chicago and the principal points at the
West at rates ranging from twenty-five to
fifty per cent. below the tariff charged for
that city, and that one of the New York
roads is bringing Boston sugar to New York,
and shipping il TO the West at a rate lower
by twenty-five per cent. than the refiners OF
New York are compelled to pay. In conse-
quence of this discrimination, the New York
merchants are losing their trade with the
West. A committee has been appointed u
devise means To put stop 10 this thing
New York now knows how 1t is herself, 80
| far as railroad discrimination is concerned.

A LETTER in the New York Times from
Louisville speaks Of the enthusiasm for Bris.
tow among the Republicans of Kentucky as
something based not at all upon the fact that
he belongs to that state, but upon a
thorough confidence in him, growing out of
their knowledge Of his character lie is
held in the highest esteem by men of all
parties, and it is even claimed by some that
as a candidate for the Presidency he could
carry that state and break the democratic
party there, by detaching the old whig ele.
ment which has never been in very cordial
union with ii. II is fact almost unique
among the public men OF America that the
more thoroughly Mr.. Bristow is known, the
higher is the esteem in which he is held.

Amour TO MIGRATE.-Brigham Young
and his followers are going to leave Utah
and settle in Mexico, where Brigham says
he is going to establish monarchy, the best
on earth, 1t is to be independent of Mexico
lie says the reason for their going is that in
six years Salt Lake City will be entirely
submerged. 1t is a well-known fact" he
adds, "that Salt Lake has no visible outlet
for its waters, though number of streams
of considerable volume are continually dis
charging their waters into it. 1t has al
ways been conceded that there was some
subterranean outlet through which the sur
plus waters have been discharged. IN the
past few years the waters of the lake have
been rising on an average, ten inches per
year. Now, through my powers of divina-
ton, have discovered that the outlet is be.
ing closed up on account of the vast quanti-
ties of sodium aud chloride gathering at its
mouth. Five years, at longest, will be suffi-
cient to close it entirely, aud then Salt
Lake Valley will be one vast ocean, and Salt
Lake City a city in the ocean" Conse.
quently Brigham proposes TO get out before
the day of destruction comes. But if the
real truth were known, we opine that Brigham
is more afraid of being submerged by Cen
tiles than by the waters of Salt Lake
