r. The President returned the regular
Judicial bill with bis signature on Mon

is based on the same grounds substan-
tally with the veto Of the former judi

up an intelligent opinion ~ to what has
been done and lelt undone by Congress

A RAILROAD Across NEWFOUNDLAND.
The idea of shortening the Atlantic
ocean voyage by building q railroad
across the island of Newfoundland has
recently been revived. By embarking
from there instead of New York, the
ocean trip would he shortened 1000
miles. The Government of Newfound-
land has addressed circular to num-
Der of prominent American contractors
inviting their attention to q movement
which is on foot looking to the con-
struction of railroad across the island
from st. Johns to st. Georges Bay, or
some other convenient point on the
west coast. A preliminary survey has
proven the practicability of the scheme,
and the Legislative Assembly of New
foundland has resolved to vote an
annual subsidy of $120, 900 to any indi.
vidual or company who will take the
matter in hand, besides granting liberal
concessions of crown lands for the pur-
pose.

Every One Should Make a Note of
This, 4.

The San francisco CHRONICLE seems to
fear no one when the public interest de.
mands the unearthing of any vile scheme Of
rascality. Unlike many of its contempora-
ries, the corporations cannot control its col
umns. 1t is fearless In its attacks upon the
soulless corporations, whether 1t be railroad
or steamship companies, or any other CON-
bipation seeking to increase their wealth
and power by unjust exactions or criminal
devices at the expense Of the people. While
other papers cringe and fawn, the 'CHRoN-
ICLE comes out boldly, in language not to be
misunderstood, in defense Of the right.
Such q journal should be supported by the
people, especially when it furnishes better
and more readable newspaper than any
other on the Coast. The WEEKLY CHRoN-
ICLE contains all the latest news, with choice
selections and careful condensations from
the daily issue. The CHRONICLE is emphati-
cally the peoples paper. The Weekly 10

The autumn wind begins to sigh,
The crimson leaves grow pale,
And swiftly through the clear, cold sky,
Whole fleets OF swallows sail.
They seek in islands far away
A warmer cline than ours.
Where lizards bask, and parrots play
In mingled fruit and flowers.
The dropping leaves shall wholly die,
The tempest and the rain,
And drifting snow shall till the sky,
Before they come again;
And when, once more. in joyous bands,
They cleave springs balmy air,
wonder from those sunny lands
What memories they bear?
Oh, happy birds . That land is fair,
Yet still for home We yearn /;
Aud SO ye will not linger there.
Butevery year return. :
And thus tits with the human mind,
Through brighter scenes we roam,
But, whaiso'er of joy we find,
The heart still clings TO home.

A Celebrated Piece Of Paper.

A promissory note for $3.50 900 is not
an Insignificant piece OF mercantile pa
per even in these days, and q quarter
of q century ago it would have been
considerable of curiosity. Such a
note was given at that period, however.
by famous operator in old Shoe and
Leather street, and is still exhibited as
memento of some of the noted transac.
tons which have taken place in that
old thoroughfare, now SO utterly de-
serted by the commercial interests
which once fourishsd there thateven its
name had to be changed. There were
some peculiar circumstances connected
with the making of this celebrated
note. The story was that the man in
whose favor it was drawn, and who was
famous Salem merchant, got the
promisor up into an upper room in the
latter's own store, and having carefully
secured the door, took up a stove litter,
and Threatened to knock his brains out
unless he then and there signed the
note in question. The man who was
threatened. not caring to die just then,
appended his autograph as desired and
the promisee, who was far his superior
in strength, then unlocked the door and
released him. The Salem man desired
the note to swell the amount of his as
sets, as he was then about to suspend
and call meeting of his creditors.
The note was never paid, however. The
promisee took counsel with Rufus
Choate, and was informed that it could
not bs, collected during his lifetime,
Betsikteery years subsequently he put-
clfasedit from the heirs OF the Holder
