Big Six.

Tweed began life at the bottom, sold
cushions for chairs, run with an engine
in the old days of voluntary fire COM
panies, and got the nickname of Big
Six from the company of which he was
| the leader. By some sort of hocus-
pocus he got admitted to the bar, was
chosen member of the Common Council,
was sent to Congress one term, became
School Committeeman, Alderman, and
Supervisor, and, finally, head of the De-
partment OF Public Works. In those
days he was tall, vigorous, good-looking,
wish a large head and commanding
fe1osouce, t1ougn aTJerWard he grew fat
and somewhat heavy. His mind was
wonderfully quick in it's perceptions and
movements. He could think round any
body he came in contact with. All his
movements were remarkably rapid, and
he would do more work in one day than
three ordinary men. He spoke with q
lightning like rapidity of utterance, and,
when little excited, would discharge @
volley of words all at once as from a
mortar. Last fall, when before the
Aldermen, he calculated one OF these
speeches, the words flying after each
other as though a charge of dynamite
had exploded under dictionary,
electrifying the listeners and filing the
shorthand reporters with CONSERVATION.
The celebrity and grip of his mind and
his ability to organize and use men were
at the bottom of his success. Then he
was royalty liberal. he gave as he got,
with free hand. To ask was to get, if
he had anything to give. In his pros
porous days he distributed thousands
every year in gifts to friends, aims to the
poor, contributions to societies and
churches. His almost unbounded liber-
ality made him popular and gained him
the support of hundreds. People felt
that there was a royalty in his giving
that atoned in part for his questionable
getting, and took his donations without
stopping to ask questions. But, at the
bottom, Tweed was immoral. He seems
never to have had conscience, nor to
have been troubled with scruples Of any
kind. He was often surprised when his
associates warned him not to offend the
moral sense of the community, and won
dered that civilized beings could be such
fools. He believed in neither God NOR
hereafter, and once wished that he might
die in ten-acre lot, where there would
be room enough to have good square
kick for the last time.

GREAT RAILWAY PROJECTS.
Propositions in Congress to Cheaper Trans
portatiOn

portatiOn
The House Committee on Railways
and Canals has adopted the report of
the subcommittee on Representative
Schleicher's bill to provide for cheap
transportation of freight between the
Atlantic coast and the Ohio and Missis-
sippl valleys, and agreed to report the
bill to the House with favorable rec.
ommendation. The bill provides for the
appointment of @ commission of twelve
persons by the Governors of the States
OF New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska and
Missouri, each State being entitled to
one Commissioner. It is proposed that
the board to be created shall constitute
body polite and corporate, under the
name of the United States Railroad
Corporation" and the same shall be
recognized as a corporation authorized
! to obtain necessary franchises, and right
of way and title thereto, in the manner
prescribed by the laws OF the States, for
the purpose of locating, building and
operating railway, principally for
freight, from New York to Council
Bluffs, Iowa, such as shall offer the best
connection with the system of railroads
west Of the Missouri river. The COM
pensation of the Commissioners shall be
paid by the corporation at the rate of
$3, 900 per annum each.
The House Committee on Railroads
| also voted unanimously to report favor
ably on the bill gaanting a charter to
the Washington, Cincinnati and St.
Louis Narrow Gauge Railroad Company.
This company has already begun build
ing its road, and has about fifty miles of
it already graded in Virginia. It is as
serted that a road of three-feet gauge
can be built and operated for less than
| one-half the expense of the standard
gauge roads, and that the result will be
/ an immense reduction in the charges
for railroad transportation between the
large cities of the West and the Atlantic
seaboard. This company proposes to
run line of freight steamers from
| Washington to New York to connect
| with its road. 1t also proposes to estab-
| llsh branches to Chicago, and gradually
| TO extend narrow-gauge system to all
| important points i'll the East and West.
One OF the great advantages claimed for
this road is that it will open up the
West Virginia coal-felds, the splint and
| camel coal, which is eaid to be 40 per
cent. higher as fuel for gas-making than
| any coal produced III Pennsylvania.

The Poverty of India.

India has been for half century too
poor even to bear the slight cost of de-
yeloping her own resources. The grand
mistake we have made has been in rul-
leg her as if she were the Ell Dorado of
romance instead of the famine stricken,
pauperized empire of reality. What
wealth there ia exists in the hands of the
few, of whom the majority are foreign
ers. But public burdens and the cost
of government are wrung from the pen
niless pockets OF the poor, who, while
they can hardly keep body and soul to-
gether, have been expected to pay Tor
costly g improvements" involving liza
bilities that it would tax the energies OF
the richest states to meet. .et asF

The Story OF May-Day.

Alas, children the world is growing
old. Not that dear old Mother Earth
begins to show her 5000 (more or less)
years, by stiff joints and clumsy move
ments, by clinging to her winters rest
and her warm coverlet of snow, forget
ting to push up the blue-eyed violets in
the spring, or neglecting to unpack the
fresh green robes of the trees. No, in
deed The blessed mother spins around
the sun as gayly as she did in her first
year. She rises from her winter
sleep fresh and young as ever.
Every new violet is as exquisitely tinted,
as sweetly scented, as its predecessors
Of a thousand years ago. Each new ma
ple-leaf opens as delicate and lovely as
the first one that ever came out of it's
tightly-packed bud in the spring. Mother
Nature never grows old.
But the human race changes Ia the
same way that each one of us does. The
race had it's childhood when men and
women played the games that are now
left to you youngsters. We can even
see the change i'm our own day. Some
of us-who are not grandmothers, either
can remember when youth Of IA and
Is played many games which nowadays
an unfortunate dansel of years-ruf-
fed, embroidered and white owned,

grandchildren will do? a.....sq
When the Romans came to Britain to
live, many hundred years ago, they
brought, of course, their own customs
and festivals, among which was one in
memory of Flora, the Goddess of Flow
ers. The heath en-our ancestors, GU
know-adopted them with delight, be-
ing in the childhood of their race.
They became very popular; and when,
some years later, a good priest, Gregory,
came (from Rome, also) to convert the
natives, he wisely took advantage of
their fondness for festivals, and, not try
ing to suppress them, he simply altered
them from heather feasts to Christian
games, by substituting the names of
saints and martyrs for heather gods and
goddesses. Thus the Floralia became
May-day celebration, and lost none of
it's popularity by the change. On the
contrary, it was carried on all over En-
gland for ages, till it's origin would have
been lost but for few painstaking old
writer's, who "made notes" Of eyery-
thing. pn
The Floralia we care nothing for. but
the May-day games have lasted nearly to
our day, and some relics of it still s,1r-
