The Labor Of Cutting Leaves.

One Of the minor miseries of human
life is the necessity that is laid upon
the readers of magazines ana of divers
weekly, monthly, and other journals Of
cutting the leaves thereof. The amount
of time consumed in this search after
hidden treasure, and of force expended
therein, is no mean consideration in
these utiiitarian days. The literature
of the world in all the classes which we
have mentioned, reducing quarteries,
bi. monthlies, and weeklies to monthies,
cannot be less than 100000 copies a
month. Not less than 10 leaves to a
copy may be deemed a fair average.
The cutting of each of these 100000
publications requires minutes. This,
as a simple calculation will show, is
something like 20 years for each month,
or 240 years in each year. In cutting
the leaves of the ordinary magazine,
the hand travels at least 20 feet. For
1000 600 magazines this is 100000
feet. or nearly 5000 miles month, and
$4,000 miles year-four times around
the globe-a distance greater than the
railroad mileage of the United States
Prof. Ralfe says that "the ordinary ex
ternal mechanical work" done 10y al
adult weighing $50 pounds amounts tc
300 foot tons 600 tons lifted one foot
daily. In pile-driving a man lifts the
equivalent of 3l2 foot tons in s hours
in turning Il winch, 374 foot tons. Bu
this magazine cutting necessitates a
expenditure of 240years, or 81, 500 days
which, at 800 foot tons a day, makes 26,
$4,000, sum total that makes the ton
mage of the Erie canal and the trunl
lines sink into insignificance.-Brook

Another Trunk Line From Chi
cagO to the Gulf.

The following special dispatch to the
Chicago Tribune explains itself, and
can be relied on as correct:
1t is now authoritatively announced
by Mr.. SolOn Humphries that the Par
is and Danville and Cairo and Vim
cennes railroads are to be consolidated
into one common interest and that the
entire line from Cairo to Danville is to
be bonded in the sum OF $500, 600, to
be used rebuilding the roads and adj
ding new rolling stock. The Wabash
company, in consideration of advanta.
ges to be gained, is to guarantee the
new loan, but Mr.. Humphries, Drexel
& Co., and Tracy promise that the
Chicago and Eastern Illinois shall have
every working tariff advantage. The
ultimate object seems to be to form a
new line to the gulf via the Mobile &
Ohio, as a rival of the Illinois Central
and the Louisville Il Nashville. To
escape Indiana taxation and legislation
the link between Lawrenceville, His,
the terminus of the Paris q Danville,
and the Cairo q Vincennes, nine miles,
is to be built at once.

of this strange death were verified by
the people of Rosedale generally.
More particularly was the account SUBJ
stantiated by Mrs. Kittie Powellson,
sister-in-law to the lady, and Miss r.
Powellson, the daughter, Mrs. John
Haddock, Mrs. James Wilson, Mrs.

physician in Rosedale, and many 9th,

ing her. DIR. Thorne called in consul
tation of DR.. HALEY, of Kansas City,
who made thorough investigation of
the case. DR.. Baird has also been a
witness of many of the phenomena.
The facts contained in the foregoing
account bear so strongly upon ques-
tious now being discussed by the best
intellects of the age, has led the Times
to present them as facts only. 1t will

and what they are, and contrast them
with those who are on the other side,
The leaders of the opposition know
and keenly feel, that the intelligence
and worth of the State is against them.
They cannot defend their position, ex'
cept by appealing to passion and
prejudice, and by the thinnest sophis-
try and the clearest Misrepresentation.
How then do they attempt to break
before the people the force of the fact
that the tried and trusted, the success
ful, the live. progressive and intelli
gent men Of the State are against
thems By the reiterated charge of cor.
ruption. Every speaker is bought,
every press is bribed. Their papers
and speakers cry out against the cor
ruption of their opponents. The utter
adsurdity and criminality of the charge
is apparent to every man above the
grade of an idiot, and it has'been gen.
orally treated with deserved contempt
as mere mud singing, in which only
those who are fatally corrupt them
selves ever indulge. 1t is worthy Of
note, because a moments calm refiec-
tion will show the people that it is re,
sorted to as the only method of con.
Quoting a case where the best elements
of the State are against them. They
seek to smirch men to whom they can
not reply, to smother in mud influence
they cannot break by argument or by
opposing their own characters and
judgment. We submit, in general, as
to a majority of these leaders, whether,
if there was areign Of corruption, mons
ey would firstapply to the elementssup~
porting, or to those opposing. Con-
trast the characters and say, people of
Tennessee, which will be the most
likely to be approached. .-NashrIle

johnson g. Whitaker of South Car

the West Point Military academy.
We are told he has room to himself,
and is thrown entirely on his own re-
sources for fellowship and amusement.
That means that the white cadets will
have no social intercourse with him.
1t must be remembered that the great
body of the cadets are Republican ap-
pointments, and yet they will have no
social intercourse with their colored
brother cadet. He is compelled to
not only room by himself, but is left
