PROF. LOOMS, of Yale, and President
Barnard, of Columbia College, gravely
express it as their opinion that an ice
boat, driven by the wind, can not sail
continuously any faster than the
wind. An able writer in the New York
Star, however, shows by a diagram and
logical arguments that an ice-boat prop
erly constructed will get away with the
wind every time.

The New York Times raises note Of
alarm over the increasing use in that city
of the demoralizing French drink known
as absinthe. This deleterious compound
is prepared from the volatile oil of worm
wood, oil of anise and other extracts
mixed with alcohol. It's stimulating and
intoxicating effects are enhanced by the
wormwood of which it is largely COM
posed, and the peculiarly baneful effects
upon the nervous organization render it
one of the most insidious and dangerous
Of stimulating beverages Its first effects
are usually agreeable, but its results are
fatal, bringing vertigo, tremblings, ner-
vous prostration, horrible dreams, and
withal leaving the victim more wretch
ed and irrecoverable wreck than alcohol
alone, bad as that is, is capable of produc-
ing. Notwithstanding its known lnjuri-
Gus results the victim is led on by its Sc
ductive influence until the taste for the
drink is ineradicable, scarcely an instance
being on record where any one upon
whom the vice has been fixed has ever
shaken it of. In Paris the intellectual
wrecks superinduced by this deadly slim
ulant are awful, and we can not too deep
ly deplore the introduction of 50 subtle
. beverage into this country.

AS at other points, the business out
look at New Orleans appears to be en-
couraging for stirring fall and winter.
Now that the yellow fever embargo and
scare are fully over, things are reported
by the papers from below as more active
than at any time since the war; New
houses are going up, old ones are put in
order, and every vacant house or place Of
business is gobbled up and put to use.
The Jackson & New Orleans Railroad has
not had any such press of business since
before the war. The cotton received by
this road at New Orleans up to October
Doth, 1878, was 12, 1876 bales.
This year, up to same date, the re-
ceipts were 1896 bales. During the
months of September and October, up to
the 21st instant, the cotton received this
year amounted to 55,l2O bales, being an
excess over receipts for corresponding
period last year of 1856 bales. 1t is
thought that the cotton that will reach
that city over this road alone for the
month will reach 10000 bales. In other
departments of trade the boom is CORE
spondingly active, and merchants are en-
couraging themselves that New Orleans
will regain her old supremacy as the
great commercial mart of the Southern
States.

The railroad bill introduced into the ter
%ritorial legislature we publish entire in this
issue. The proposed measure is one of
great importance to the future Of our terri
tory and people are anxious to read it and
understand its provisions. The bill was con-
structed mainly from the Minnesota and
Wisconsin laws and was drawn by an attor-
ney in the employ of the Chicago & North
western railroad company. While it may
be liberal in its effect to the corporations
which construct railroads, it appears to be
alike liberal to the people who are to be
affected by such construction. The present
railroad law Of the territory will be materi-
ally changed by this enactment, though
some Of it's provisions remain intact. The
obnoxious clause of our corporation laws
upon the subject of personal liabilities Of
stockholders is amended and the taxation
scheme against railroad property used in
Minnesota is engrafted into the measure.
Dakota needs to be as liberal as possible to
railroads without being unjust to itself. 1t
is the part of wisdom to encourage the
building of roads across our prairies and
equitable enactment is one of the encour-
agements which must be held out to CAPT.
