The Common Sense OF Rapid Transit.
The story that Commodore Vanderbilt
means to run rapid transit line on his
Fourth avenue track for the accommodation
of way. passengers, stopping at all stations
above Eighty-sixth street, and running at
convenient intervals, will be hailed with de-
light by all who welcome any movement in
the direction of rapid transit. Those who
have watched the discussions OF. this i'm
portant question will remember that we
have always held that the Fourth avenue
improvement was the direct avenue Of rapid
transit, and that we had line built from
Forty-second street to Harlem-one of the
best lines in the world, with full accommo-
dations. We have also n tunnel as far down
rs Thirty second street which could be used
for steam without the least inconvenience
to residents. Therefore the rapid transit
problem is chow to 60 from the Battery to
Thirty-second street" One way is to run
the elevated railway to point where it
could connect with the Vanderbilt line.
Another is to build an underground road
from Thirty-second street down the Bowery
to City Hall. If this could be done, If we
could have an underground or even an
elevated railway from the Battery or tho
City Hall to Thirty-sccond street. we should
have rapid transit; for once tho lines
passed up into Westminster, there would
be no trouble about connections. Then
with a steam line over the bridge to connect
with an elevated or underground road in
Brooklyn We could have that beautiful re-
gion open to rapid transit We are not at
oil selfish in this matter. We would like
TO see rapid transit i'll all directions to West
chester, Long Island and tho Jerseys. New
York IS greot enough TO sustain ail of her
suburbs. But tho immediate question is
with Wostchester. And now that the Com
modorc gives us rapid transit from Forty
second street why not continue it down to
the City Hall?

lin. CoyKLISu and Mr.. Mitchell yesterday
asked tho managers of the House several
Conkling are pertinent, having direct APP
plication to the trial of Mr.. Eelknap but
the question Of Mr.. Mitchell refers to a
wholly supposititious case. 1t is not likely
that NIessrs. Knott and jerks will bother
themselves about 'supposes," for if the
counsel once enter upon the debate Of
distractions the impeachment trial might
last all summer.

NEW BUILDrNe.-Those very en-
terprising brothers, the Benefits, are
having builded for them a spacious
stable and auxiliary COW house OBJ
liquely in rear of their livery barn.
The BENEFITS are as thrifty frater-
nifty Of business people as one is ac-
customed to seeing, and it is an evil
dence not only of their success but
of the fruitfulness of upright dealing
to note the substantial additions they
now aud then make to the multefari-
rious ramiications Of their diversified
trade. What with excellent horses,
fine livery equipments, mild-eyed
cows With expansive udders, a we'll
conducted hotel, the most comforta-
BILE lodging house any where in these
parts, an accommodating line OF
stages, sundry flocks of chickens,
droves Of pigs, herds Of young horses
and SO on-what with all theee
things. the brothers have their hands
well into the practical affairs Of a
oitable life.

ACCIDENT TO A TEAM.--On Mon
day afternoon one of Geo. Elders
teams was precipitated off Of a bridge
at Franklin mill, the driver and ami
mails narrowly escaped being killed.
There were sixteen animals in the
team, and they were hauling load Of
ore to the mill. There is bridge
built on an inclination leading to the
place where the ore is unloa ded at
the mill, and the team were ascend
ing this bridge when the accident &C.
Cured. The driver wanted to get rs
close to tile mill as possible, SO that
ahe men would not have to shovel
the ore farther than could be helped.
He drove so CLOSE to the edge that
the wheels passed beyond the out
most stringer and they cut through
the planking. The wagons and sew
eral spans Of the horses were precipi-
tated about ten feet down to the
ground. The driver was in the sad
die at the time. but escaped without
any serions injury. The horses also
escaped The WAGONS were badly
wrecked. The lead animals and
some succeeding spans. were not dis
placed from the bridge.

gramme as now arranged includes

WATER 'WHsELs.-It is getting
fashionable up in American ravine,
or at least it is getting common (and
what is common il often the reverse
Of fashionable)-itis becoming custo-
mary in American ravine to put up q
little water wheel in the creek, at
tach force-pump to it, and have the
water pumped with its own power
into the house next situated on the
margin. Mr.. Shields was the first to
put up q wheel of this kind. He
has extended the usefulness of the
wheel, and now has a nice little foun-
tain in his yard supplied by the
pump, which sends aspray into tho
air at intervals. The margin Of the
fountain, unlike what is customary
in other and more fashionable places,
is covered with rich specimens Of ore.
Usually sea-shells serve for such
ornamentation. Here nothing short
Of $500 ore makes decent border.
H. 6riffio, who lives above Mr..
Shields, is putting in u little six-foot
wheel which is designed to pump
water into his house. Above his
house is the great vince. of the aras-
ira. The three in a row, taken with
the other Surroundings, make the ra-
vine look quite picturesque.

Mr. Hayden's Lecture The
third lecture of the course before the
Literary and Debating Society, was
delivered by Judge II. Hayden at
Witter's Hall last Friday evening, to
a large aud most attentive audience
Mr.. Hayden's theme, "Centenniai
Thoughts, > was we'll CHOSEN, admitting
of wide range of thought and the pre-
sentation of ideas more than usually
agreeable to the American mind. Mr..
Hayden style upon the rostrum is
pleasing he is an excellent speaker
enunciating distinctly, and when nee
essary he can give pathos and fire to
his utterances, which tell upon his
hearers. Of the subject matter Of his
address, we can make bat brief men
ton His recital Of the departure of
the Pilgrim Fathers for America, the
arrest of portion of the gallant band
by the minions of the House Of the
Stuarts, was beautiful. That portion
relative to our Educational System !;
its growth and advancement was ex-
tremely interesting, bringing the mat
ter before the minds of our people in
SO clear light, that we are led to be-
lieve deeper interest will be in future
felt by the intelligent of our communi-
ty in all that pertains to educational
interests. Only to that portion of the
lecture pertaining to our fraternal re-
lations with Southern unrepentant ex-
rebels, do we dissent. We cannot be-
live it to be duty the North owes to
the South, to extend the right hand of
fellowship to jeff. Davis, B. III. Hill
and rebels of their ilk, and clothe
them anew with the full garb of citi-
zenship. The North stands ready to
say ''Weic0mc TO The rank ana lie
of the ex-rebel hosts, and all deluded
and misguided men participating in
the rebellion, but the ''mantle of
charity" we trust is too small to cover
completely the wilful murderers of our
brothers, sons and fathers in rebel
prisons. If we have rightly interpret
ed the language of the speaker this is
what no would have done. If we have
incorrectly placed his thought before
our readers, VIC must aver that he too
indistinctly expressed his views upon
this all-engrossing question.
The lecture as a whole was beauti-
full, and its ideas were clothed in beau
tlful language, sometimes too extrava-
CANT, and too fguratively poetical, we
are led to believe, but perhaps we crit
icise unjustly.
