An INCGpENT or SEAFARING LIFE
Many years ago, two brothers, Capt. Ma
thuuiel Smith, Of Gloucester, and Capt,
Amm Z. Smith, Of Ipswich, made many
voyages in tho European trade. 1t SO
happened ;hat when one was at home the
other would be abroad, and they Ind not
seen each other Tor years. One morning
on the broad Atlantic, two ships sighted
each other, the one going east and the
other west, with strong breeze. The
usual preparations were made for speak
ing, and upon ringing within bailing
distance, the sails were thrown back, and
there, trumpet in hand, stood the two
brothers face to lace, each on his own
quarter-deck. Atiectionate greetings,
with the tdings from abroad, and the
thrice welcome news from home were
were exchanged, and after cordial wishes
for cacb others prosperity, the vessels
filled away on their course. They did
not meet again on shore or at sen for
some years afterwards.

that they represent sentiments and views
not in keeping with the spirit Of the ago.
It is undoubtedly owing to the sanitary
regulations heretofore prescribed BY DR..
White and carried out by his we'll
chosen and energetic assistants that
those rival scourges, smallpox and yell
low fever, have been kept under control
for the past eight years. At any rate, the
methods adopted have proved success
full and have met with general public
approval. The newly elected officers are
pledged to an opposite course, and viii
undoubtedly inaugurate theif system at .
time when the masses of the people win
look upon any change with great disfavor.
Governor Kellogg is himself greatly dis
satisfied with the result of the meeting
Friday night, and yesterday removed two
members Of the board, Dr.. W. II. Hire,
who was chosen sanitary inspector, and
Alfred Shaw, Esq, and appointed in their
places DR.. G. s. Russell and DIR. George
w. Lewis. It is thought the board will
its former action at the next
meeting.

the dividends upon these stocks do not
equal the average business profits Of the
cities respectively. Yet 10 far from these
cities having experienced loss equal to
the difference in the rate Of dividends and
business profits, they all prosper. increase
in population, wealth and commerce, and
much of this increase is credited to these
very roads whose stock is below par in
market and whose dividends are often
below the rate of simple interest It
would, perhaps, startle Mr.. Mitchell to be
told that the prosperity of city may be
promoted in direct proportion to the de-
cline in the market price of the stocks of
railroads leading to that city. Thus: A
railroad should lay q tariff sufficient to
pay its running expenses, reparation and
interest account. If that road be sold
under mortgage, or otherwise comes to be
held by purchasers at lower rate than
its original or par value, it may follow
that the road can be worked at lower
tariff in second than in first hands. The
stockholders who built have undoubtedly
in this case sustained loss, but the COM
munity will get the use of this road at
lower rates of service, and will prosper in
the proportion of cheaper facilities.
It is precisely because individuals may
not be induced to take money out of their
business and put it into q railroad that
the practice has prevailed of sub
stituting the general for particular
credit. A merchant can not be ex-
pected to take q thousand dollars
out of his capital, and put it into rail.
road, which may benefit his landlord as
much as himself. It is better that these
men should unite in the contributions.
The merchant will sell more goods, the
landlord will get better rents. If the
common credit of both be hypothecated
'or the money necessary to construct q
it is easier for either to pay the |
interest on his loan than to advance the |
principal. Both are protected by the
of the road, and neither may be |
'alled on to pay the interest on their loan.
Such is the theory of public credit,
whether to wage war, or build rail-
Dad. That it should be abused in prac-
ice we do not deny. Upon this subject
he people must exercise their best dis
retion. We offer no opinion upon the
'olicy of constructing the New Orleans
nd Pacific railroad upon the credit Of a
AZ imposed upon the property of our
itizens, but we have endeavored to de-
aonstrate two propositions:
1. That every voter has the right to
1dge whether such tax would be proper.
2. That if such tax loan shall be i'm
osed it will be constitutional and proper.

THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

The action of the Board Of Health last
Friday evening, in displacing DR.. G. B.
White and DR.. G. s. Russell, who have
been president and secretary of the board
for the past eight years, has excited con-
siderable comment The movement for
their displacement was evidently partisan
in its character, and resulted from mo-
tives hardly creditable to the majority Of
the board. The newly elected officials
are, doubtless. sincere and honorable gen.
tlemen, but the fact can not be ignored
