RAPID TRANSIT ~ NEW York C1rY.-The
new elevated railway recently opened in New
York is a great convenience to the people of
that city, and though the line is an unsightly
structure, and in all probability an eyesore
to the owners Of real estate on the streets
through which it runs, the visitor who hap
pens TO perceive this is apt soon 10 find
the advantage that the general public derives
from Inconvenience suffered by the compare
lively few. lie will gaze with surprise at the
heavy framework over which light trims are
running continually at a high rate of speed.
and will wonder how people submit to have
such mass Of pillars and starways at the
corners where the stations are established:
but ON ascending the stairs he will be de-
lighted with the perfect system with which
the business is conducted and the ease and
rapidity with which a trip from one part Of
the city TO another is accomplished. The
line Is strongly built. and sustans solidly the
weight Of the traffic that runs over it. Trains
run each way every two minutes, each train
consisting of dummy engine and two or
three cars, each with seating capacity for
forty persons. These cars are roomy and e.
egant, well upholstered and ride very smooth
ly, starting and stopping without any Jar
whatever \ conductor accompanies each
car, his duty being simply to see that passen-
gers are safely embarked and landed. When
the train is in motion the platforms are closed
with iron gates which prevent thoughtless
persons from stepping OF. The rate at
which the ears travel is about forty miles an
hour, including stoppages, which are made at
stations about quarter Of u mile apart. On
each side of the rails heavy timbers are placed
which make it almost an impossibiity for the
cars to jump the track. A person desiring to
go to Central Park will ascend the stairs to
the station, say at Chambers street. and pur-
chasing II ticket for ten cents is admitted to
the platform through a gate No crossing
over the tracks is allowed, but passengers are
Obliged to enter upon the line by the station
upon that side of the street on which the
train runs, each station therefore being II
double one. The ticket is not surrendered
until the destination is reached. The train
is stopped, the passenger alights. and on
reaching the gate at the head of the stairs by
which he is to descend to the street. surren-
ders his ticket to the gateman All the Off
cials are in uniform, and the whole system is
50 arranged that everything goes on like
clock work

about 100000 men who were to march to
Washington in the interest of eternal truth
and to assist in placing Mr., Tilden in the
executive chair. Mr.. Hewitt reminds
Mr.. Watterson of this brilliant and original
idea but shows that it's utter impractica-
bility was such that it fell upon the country
still-born. The country will remember
equally we'll Mr.. Hewitt's gigantic project
of systematic mass meetings all over the
country on the 8th of January which, by
associating the present with the past gIories
of the democracy, was to fire the democratic
heart and result in an irresistible demand
for the Inauguration of Tilden. Neither
project possessed any real merit Of ieasi-
bility, or could possibly by itself have been
sustained at the bar of public Judgment.
1t Is to the great credit of Samuel j.
Tilden, that in such an hour, at time
when the nigh object of personal ambition
among the statesmen of this country fairly
his was being foully and unfairly taken
away, that he never yielded to the sug-
gestioDs of wrong or violence on the part
of his party or his personal friends. Both
Mr.. Wattterson and Mr.. Hewitt are con-
strained to admit that their respective
plans were disapproved by Mr., Tilden's
better judgment. Ever since the dark
days of the November election of 1876 Mr..
Tiden has conducted himself with the
dignity. reserve, and personal prudence
which his condition has required, and
every attempt to trace any thing Of any
other character to him or his immediate
agency has always and utterly failed.
The Rock Island Argus., 1878-06-25

The other day Mr.. Henry Watterson, Of
the Louisville Courier journal, 6guratively
speaking went for Mr.. Hewitt's political
scalp. Watterson made several assertions
which went to show that Mr.. Hewitt in
the Crisis OF the presidential conflict pur-
posely lett Mr.. Tilden to be overslaughed
and the democratic party to the cold com.
fort of another four years waiting. Mr..
Watterson has vigorous command of
pungent words and the use of his resources
was anything but agreeable to the person
to whom he was rendering the benefit of
plain English. Mr. Hewitt himself, how
ever, is not altogether SO deficient in the
command Of language as to be wholly
deienceless even when assaiIed by so
rampant an antagonist as Mr.. Wattersop,
and accordingly Mr.. Hewitt replies through
the press that Mr. Watterson in his
accusations against him aud his assertions
OF having betrayed Mr., Tilden and the
aemoeracy relies more upon the strength
oi his imagination and pictures q
rhetoric than upon the facts of the case
EVERYBODY remembers Watterson's tall

Plymouth church has ex-communicated
Mrs. Elizabeth R. Titon. 1t was the
only thing which could be done. The
distinct changes which she had made
against Mr.. Beecher rendered it absolutely
necessary that one or the other should be
cast out. As Mrs. Tilton was a poor
weak woman, without influence, or power to
do the church service, and as Mr.. Beecher
has for years been the star performer OF
the church and has yet several years of
eminent service in his line of profession, it
would have been folly for Plymouth church
to have viudicated eternal right and justice
at the expense of her own coffers-she
refused to commit such suicidal act
she kept the chief sinner and cut off the
poor weak woman.

MARJORIE.
BY MARY +. TUCKER.

Marjorie's story is nothing new.
She loved unwisely as women do.
As Women will, and called it fate,
Poor heart, so broken and desolate.
Over her head with its crown of gold.
Seas of sorrow have surged and rolled;
Grief, like mantle, wraps her about,
Shadow within. and shadow without
Luckless the suitor who comes TO WOO,
Never a word will she listen to;
Never a pulse of her heart will stir
There is only one in the world for her.
Fair was the face, which smiles run DER.
1t is pale to-day, and she smiles no more.
(Nor breeze, nor blast hath power to
wake
\ ripple from frozen lake.)
Alas, for the head with its crown gold,
The tempter came, as he came of old;
Alas, for the heart that was glad and
light,
Alas, for the soul that was pure and
white,
Censure who may-condemn who must,
1t was perfect faith-it was utter trust,
That asked no promise, nor pledge, nor
sign.
he was hers-she was his-by law di
vine.
He was lifted up-he was set apart
He filled her thought--he filled her
heart
She called him great-she believed him
true,
As women will, as women do.
o, to betray such tender trust,
(God will repay, and He is just.)
Through wrong and i'll she loves him
still,
As women do, rs women will.
Giving little and taking much,
Fickle and false--there are many such;
Selfish and -cruel-you know the rest,
He broke the heart that loved him best.
