Life becomes useless and insipid when
we have no longer either friends or enc
mics.
Dignity is expensive, and without
other good qualities is not particularly
profitable,
We must never remember the benefits
we have conferred, nor forget the fayors
received.
An able man shows his spirit by gentle
words and resolute actions his is neither
het nor timid.
Cities force growth, aud make men
laxative and entertaining, but they also
make them artificial.
You had better learn to conquer your
own will than strive to obtain the mas
terry of that of others.
Friendship is the medicine for all mia.
fortunes, but ingratitude dries up the
fountain of goodness.
Make no more VOWS to perform this or
that it shows no great strength, and
makes thee ride behind myself.
We every day sacrifice principle:
which we esteem through fear of being
blamed by people whom we despise.
Man wastes his mornings in anticipat
ing his afternoons, and wastes his after.
moons in regretting his mornings.
Never plead guilty to poverty. s
far as the world is concerned, you might
better admit that you are a villain.
Jealous men are ever displaying to vol
the strength of their belief, while Judi
cious men are showing you the ground

1t is curious that some learned ounces

Additional Particulars Ofthe Suffering
In China.

Recent letters from Pekin furnish
details of the extremity to which the
people in that part of China are reduced
by the want of food. The missionaries
there and in Tientsin had given them
selves to the work Of relieving the
distress according as the funds furnished
enabled them TO do so, and out of their
W means had contributed 62S taels
($S72) to aid. Other foreigners in the
legation made up $l,2l5 more, part Of
which has been sent to Shansi 10 be

Turner and their associates English

l believe the suffering here is far more
terrible than it was in India last year.
People sell their lards, pull down their
houses to get a little for their timber
sell their wives and daughters eat roots,
c%arrion, clay and refuse, to prolong their
lives. And if this was not enough to
move ones pity, the sight Of men, wo-
men, and little children, lying helpless
on the roadside, or if dead, torn by dogs
and magpies, ought to do so. Even
cases are currently reported and believed,
where the children are being boiled and
eaten. The cold has been unusually
severe, and no coal can be purchased by
these families. The people, u might
say, ale dying like flies, They have
only yellow earth mixed with leaves of
various kinds of trees left with which to
prolong their lives for a few days, The
wild fruits are collected before they
are ripe, and the stalks of the sorghum
are all that are left them; even
water has failed in places, making it
necessary for the sufferers I. seek it

a brief calculation of its dimensions. A
cubic foot weighs 10 pounds, and, as
the ore lies, twelve cubic feet make a
ton There arc 1860 square feet in an
acre; and the acre of ore, being three
feet in thickness, makes 130,6S0 cubic
feet, which, with twelve cubic feet to the
ton, makes 0 1900 tons, worth $3.50 per

FROM A business STANDPOINT.

Two propositions are before us looking to that
end. one Of them, the Texas and Pacific, seeks to
retain its land grant from the United States,
amountingt 10 100000 acres, to obtain two years.
additional time, and a special and extraordinary
grant of the credit of the nation in the form Of an
endorsement upon $3S,7 $4,000 Of the company's
bonds, pledging it to the payment of five per cent.
gold interest for fifty years.
The other, the Southern Pacific, asks only our
sanction to CONTINUE its road eastward across the
territories within the same time, but without any
other or further assistance than the contiguous
grant of lands now at the disposal Of Congress.
Which of these two propositions as guardians Of
the public interest can we adopt ? Which of these
two candidates, rs practical business men, ought
we to intrust with this undertaking? w should
select the proposition most favorable to the good Of
the people. 1t would seem that by the charter the
grant of land along the thirty.second parallel line
in the territories was made double that Of the
pioneer line by the forty-frst parallel, as If in lieu
of future aid in money or credit.
We're we administering our own private business
could we for a moment hesitate between these Of
fers, one of which, besides being nm undeserved
favor, involves grave responsibilities, dangerous
precedent and great risks, while the other avoids
all commitments, all doubtful policy, aud insures
all its proffered benefits within the same time with
out the risk OF u dollar of the peoples money or
credit? We conceive we are not here as the al
moners of the bounty of the government to its citi.
zens or corporations, but as guardians of the public
welfare and trustees OF its property and credit OF
the nation, sworn to obey the constitution and pro.
tect the best interests OF the people, and in this view
we cannot concur in the report of the majority,
which proposes to grant a subsidy or guaranty OF
S3S, 76O,OJO OF the peoples money or credit to a cor.
p%OratiOn.

Southern Pacific Railroad corporation, to the great
South and Southwest, and to the whole country to
reject this bill and to enact the bill recommended
by the majority Of the committee in the interest OF
the Texas and Pacific company, or to reject TINS
bill under any circumstances, This measure does
not antagoni2e, nor did the Southern Paclhc ltall-
road autagonize before us any railroad project,
braucn, or connection East of the Rio Grande.
1t simply asks to build 600 miles of railroad half
way from the Colorado to Fort Worth the present
westerly terminus of the Texas and Pacific com
pduy, and ninety additional miles in California, to
complete the San Diego connection, without any
public aid and subject to all reasonable restrictions
in the public interest. True, it desires the land
grant but we do not recommend it, because we be-
love that this corporation wiIlbuild the road with
out.
should the representatives of that portion OF the
country chiefly to be benefited, not by the subsidy
but by the road, defeat this measure, 1t is dlilcuit
for us to see how they can reasonably expect the
rest Of the country TO consent to burden the tax
payer and embarass our policy with the most IAN
gerous precedent, which would exhaust the Treas
ury with hundreds of subsidies Throughout the I'M
limited future of the nation.
4 would seem impossible for any man to Justify
himself to his constituency and to his country at
large in a course which depletes the Treasury when
all that is desired is attainable without expense to

RELATIONS OF THE SOUTHERN CENTRAL N

Assuming that The Southern Pacific Is controlled
By the Central Pacific (Which is denied there IL the
strongest reason to suppose that this circumstance

The Southern Pacific from San Francisco to the
Colorado IL more than 700 miles. Add to this the
proposed extension of 800 miles, and the total is
over 1900 miles, and we believe It probable that the
Southern Pacific will extend It's line Easterly across

Rev. r. n. Price, in his memoir Of
the late Rev. VIM. w. Neal, says:
81 was at various times editor of
the Bristol Advocate, Marion Sentinel
and Soldiers Friend. Morristown Ga
zette aud Rhea Springs Times. All of
these except that at Marion were the
frat papers ever published in The
places nameu.'
Mr.. Price Is mistaken as to Bristol
and MorristOwn. The Virginia and
Tennessee NeaOs was the first paper
published in Bristol. 1t was edited by
j. Austin Sperry. The PreS6yteriam
Witness, edited by Rev. Mr.. Black
burn, was published in Bristol long
before tha ADVOCATE. If our memory
serves us right, the Religious Iateili-
gencer was published In Morristown
before the war. It was edited by Rev
w. G.. Graves, and printed by Mr.. w.
E. NJ. Neal, who, we believe, is at
work in the Knoxville Tribune office
now. This Is the second time we have
Noticed this statement in print-it
may have been made by Rev. T. F.
Smyth In the first instauce-and we
deem it duty TO correct it. We do it
with the highest respect TO the dead,
as well as great difference to the iiv-
ing Bristol Courier.
