Monte Christie Meiggs.

Tho life of Henry Meiggs, who died
at Lima, Peru on the Goth ultimo, was
thoroughly remarkable. Born in Green
county, New York, in 1911, he was a
rich man before he was twenty-five years
old In IS49 he went to California with
a ship load of lumber and sold it az
twenty times its cost, making n clear
profit of 800, 900. He continued in tho
business, and up to the time of his ruin
had made fortune of $500, 900. He
went under in the great financial panic
that shook California in 1854, and left
San Francisco secretly, having committed
forgeries and other crimes of great mag
nitude He was next heard of as su-
perintendent of bridges on the Valparaiso
and Santiago railroad in Chill. He bulls
the Santiago end of the road for $l2,-
600, 900, and cleared 81 800 900 on tho
contract From Chill he went to Peru
and undertook the construction Of u
railroad system in that country, and
first built the road from Mollondo to
Arcquipa. The fcte that he gave when
it was completed il estimated to have
cost him some $500, 600; but he could
afford it, for his profit was within a trihe
of S4, 100000. To commemorate tho
event he had $3.50, 900 worth of gold
medals and $3.50, 600 worth of silver
medals struck of for distribution through
out the country.
Meiggs' land speculations around
I e .
of the railways that he built in Peru
were failures in Il monetary sense. They
were built at enormous cost. They
penetrated mountains and desolated re-
gione, and the bonds and Government
endorsements declined to a value of only
thirty-six cents on the dollar. The
English capitalists who had furnished
money which was used in these enter
prses drew out, and Meiggs became
terribly involved The breaking down
of his scheme and credit destroyed his
health, and he was some months ago
stricken with paralysis.
The deceased was a man Of wonderful
energy, but he seemed to want balance
wheel on the moral side of his nature.
He was utterly INSCRIPTIONS as to the
ways in which he carried out his pro-
iects; entirely reckless as to the use Of
money, and magnifccntly generous. L.
is to his honor that he paid off many oil
the obligations that he left behind him
in California, but he never would return
there, although the Legislature ESPECIALLY
passed an act to shield him from criminal
prosecution His Peruvian railway I'M
dcrstakings involved an expenditure of
S126, 600, 900, and have done great
harm to the country. 1t is highly pro-
bable that his imperial style of living and
layishness with money have dissipatcd
the greatest part of the immense fortune
which he had accumulated, and his heirs
may save little from the wreck. The his
tory Of Henry Meiggs is romance as
absorbing and marvellous as any fiction.

GIVE HIM A LIFT.

Give him q lift Don't kneel in prayer,
Nor moralize with his despair;
The man is down, and his great need
Is ready help-not prayer and creed
lis time when the wounds are washed and
healed,
That the inward motives be revealed;
Bnt now, what err the spirit be,
Mere words are but mockery.
0ne grain of aid just now is more
To him than tones OF sanity lore.
Pray, if you must, in your full! heart,
But give him u ift-give him start.
The world is full Of good advice,
Of prayer, and praise, aud preaching nice;
But the generous souls who aid mankind
Are scarce as gold, and hard to find.
Give like christain-speak in deeds
noble lfe's the best Of creeds;
And he shall wear royal crown
Who gives 'em a lift when they are down.

The Surrender of Nez Perces.

The surrender Of Chief Joseph and
the remnant of his band of Nez Pcrce3
ends war which ought never to have
been begun. For many years no more
peaceful body of Indians ever resided in
the United States. They titled in rule
way their farms, they raised herds Of
cattle, spoke, many Of them, the English
tongue, and were in process Of becoming
civilized. But the whites coveted their
lands, and the government making no
distinction between the peaceful Nez
Perccs and the wild Sioux, determined
to take from them their possessions and
throw them open to settlement. Many
wrongs had been done them previously
which they did not resent. II was only
when they were summarily ordered TO
give up their lands that they took TO the
war-path. The troops, whenever they
were oyertaken, they turned upon and
fought with courage aud skill, and only
after retreat, which lasted for four
months, and which carried them from
Oregon through Washington Territory
TO Idaho and Montana, with detachment
Of federal troops following and heading
them off in all directions, in the last ex
trenlity did thoy surrender. What Is
now to be done with Joseph and the re-
mains Of his band They have violated
no treaty, for they belong to the non
treaty Indians They had maintained
for many years an unbrokcn friendship
with the fow whito settlers, who had
opened up farms in the wilderness they
refraincd from resenting encroachmeuts
that other tribes would have avenged By
destructive raids and indiscriminatc
slaughter and not until sentence of,cx-
pulsion from their lands had been pro-
nounccd against them and they were
pcremptorily ordered TO go upon a rcsor-
walton did they break out into opoa
rebellion. The question now is how
shall these captiyes be treated, who,
being wrongod, resisted have since led
the federal troops so remarkable a chase,
and who did not yield themselves pris-
oners until they were surrounded and
could fight no more p

The "Granxer Cases.,

A decision has recently been rendered by the
Supreme Court Of the United States, in what ara
commonly known a. the "Granger cases" which
promise to have an important effect upon the
farming interests. One Of the objects of the
Grange, as 10 well known, is the regulation Of
raiIroad freights by State Legislation. fixing
imum rates, thereby prohibiting combinations
of those monopolies for the purpose of e1tortion
upon farmers, in carrying their produce to mar
ket. The Legislatures of Illinois, Iowa, Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota passed such laws. The rail
road companies contested their legality, upon
the ground that it was violation of the charters
granted by those States, and they finally brought
M in the Supreme Court of the United States.
This Court decided that State Legislatures have
. right to regulate railroad freights and fares !;
that one Legislature has no power to bind sub
sequent one, by granting powers to corporations,
contrary to the public good and that what one
Legislature makes, another may unmake.
This principle being established, We may speed
lily look for laws in all the States regulating rail-
road freights and fares. 1t will be fought in
each State by the Railroad Companies, and pre-
vented az long as they can influence majority
of the Legislature. But the fnal result 10 inev-
liable. The losses to Western farmers BY reason
of exorbitant freight charges are too great for
computation. They amount to millions snnu-
ally. The railroads could adopt scale Of prices
by which they could make money, and still have
them low enough so that the Western farmers
could realize good profits on their produce. But
it has got to be q common practice, at critical
junctures, for railroad companies to combine and
put up freights SO that the producer cannot sell

e 1t is predicted, from the well-known char
acter of Carl Schurz as plotter, that inside of
three months, he will be found plotting against
Hayes Worry likely, as he is a natural revolu-
ZIONIST. He has never been satisfied with any
party he ever belonged to. But when this comes
to pass, Hayes will find it out, and can dismiss
him. But it must lie remembered, by those who
are objecting to Evarts and Schurz, that they
both zealously supported Hayes, and made effec-
tive speeches in favor of his election. Schurz
was active on the stump, and Evarts was selec-
ted from among all others, by the solid business
men of New York, to speak in that city, and
point out the disasters that would result from
Tilden's election. Hayes is under as much obli-
cation to these two men rs he is to those who
are dissatisfied with their selection.

n When the Kansas Legislature, abandoning
its legitimate business was directing President
Hayes whom to call to his Cabinet, and whom to
appoint to the vacant Supreme Judgeshp, we
wonder what Hayes would have thought of the
crowd, had he taken one good look at itf Per-
haps he couldn't exactly understand what claim
Kansas had to run his administration, when he
remembered that Kansas cast ten solid votes for
Blaine every time.
