The Proposed New bankrupt Law.


will be called upon during the present
session to pass new national bankrupt
law, to be based on the repealed act OF
1876, but with certain alterations and
amendments as the same may be deemed
necessary for full accomplishment of the
desired end.
The movement is said to have origina-
ted in Boston, where it has been Scrutl-
nized by Committees of the Shoe and
Leather Association, the Boston Mer-
chants Association, and the Boston Gro
GERS Association. The Board of Mana
gers of the New York Produce Exchange
at New York have now taken a favorable
view of the measure and congressional
action will undoubtedly be had this win
ter. The proposed law makes very i'm
portant improvements on the old act,
some of which we gather from the New
York papers. The registers are not to
exceed one third or one half of the num-
Der of Congressional districts and they
are to sit in different towns or cities in
their districts just as the United States
district judges do. Their compensation
Is to be made by fixed salaries, the fee
system being abolished entirely. The
same rule will also PREVAIL in the case of
the clerks of the bankruptcy courts.
Creditors in number shall be understood
as excluding every creditor whose proba-
bic debt shall be less than fifty dollars;
and when the total indebtedness Of the
bankrupt exceeds ten thousand dollars,
every creditor whose probable debt is
less than one hundred and fifty dollars
shall be excluded in reckoning number,
but not in reckoning value
In the case of the creditors committee
of directors the chief provision of the
English bankruptcy act of 1880 will be
adopted. This committee may have such
compensation as majority of all the
creditors in value shall authorize. This
committee will also direct and practically
control the assignee or trustee. Petition
for adjudication may be made by three or
more creditors, the aggregate of whose
debts provable under the act, amount to,
at least, two hundred and fifty dol
lars, or by single creditor of not less
than one tenth the debtors total indebt-
"a esS. Acts of ban ptcy" will be
more clearly defined than under the old
law and some additional acts" included.
The whole measure seems to have been
well weighed and considered, and unnec-
essary delays of any sort would appear to
have bepn provided against,

sition to the resolution adopted by the

James Lenox was as great recluse as
any man could be and manage an immense
estate. He had no crony, no wife, and no
dear friend to whom to unbosom his feel
ings. He was wonderfully self.contamed
and hence, though alone, never was lonely.
He needed none Of those amusements
which entertain the world. The entire
range Of metropolitan pleasures were
nothing to him, and with the exception OF
his library he might almost have lived
upon desert island. He never went to
lectures, operas or theatres. He never
heard Cough or Jenny Lind, nor witnesse
the dramatic genius Of Edwin Booth. The
only public resort that he attended was
his own church. It ia said that he never
heard any sermons but those delivered
there, this having been his sole opportun.
ity Of listening to oratory. He was the
only man Of his day TO whom it might be
said as wordsworth said Of Milton, that
his soul was like star and dwelt apart.
The reason Of this self.imposed limitation
was that he did not care for such things
He had resources within himself which
satisfied his desires. His library and his
pictures were all he wanted, and to these
were added O maiden sister who KEEP
house for him, his pastor, his physician
and half dozen friends who could cal
whenever they chose and were Away
welcome.

The great secret of his success is his fl
deity to friendship. He never deserts a
man who espousss his cause under any
circumstances whatever. He never drops
an old friend to make new one, and the
man who does his work is absolutely GER
tain Of reward when the power Of confer.
ring it is within Conkling'S reach. The
appointment OF Justice Ward Hunt was
in exact accordance with the policy Of
Conkling's life. He never forgives an
enemy and never forgets the man who has
betrayed him. No second endeavor on
the part of such an one to secure his friend
ship counts for anything with him. Per-
haps ex-Lieut. Governor Stewart l.: Wood
ford illustrates this truth as well as any
man. Conkling is an uncompromising
man, and it is said that in partisanshlp
the man who fights and never com.
promises, never lacks followers. He is an
attractive speaker, but is not one to awak-
en- any enthusiasm, while he may
and does appeal to admiration-perhaps
because he ALWAYS seems to be speaking
from the head and never from the heart.
It is said that he never extemporlzes, in
variably committing to memory every
word he utters. To this work he brings a
rare skill, and apparently is able to fore
cast the probable speeches Of his oppo-
nents and to prepare answers to them; so
that he appears to the hearer as II most
capable controversialist The defects Of
an early education, that was by no means
finished, still cling to him, and in 1872
he rounded rhetorical period with ''the
harbor Of Madndl" His speech making
powers is the accomplishment Of O life Of
study in that direction. At twenty-five
he is said to have been able to repeat from
memory--which is a prodigious faculty
with him--two thirds Of Bnrke's speeches
and fair portion Of Grattan's; and in
1859, while riding on Pullman car to the
Pacific, he entertained his company BY
Getting the whole of Scott's Lady OF the
Lake without the dropping Of q word;
His industry is marvellous, end it is said
that from his youth he has worked more
hours every day than the mass are accus-
toned to in two; and finally, his neigh
bors say that he has few Of the smaller

Apelles from whom so many "ben
trovato" anecdotes in connection with art
are derived, Is reported to have painted a
basket of fruit SO accurately that birds
came and pecked at it. 1t is, however,
somewhat doubtful whether this may be
accepted as evidence Of the artists skill,
when we consider how easily duped are
these members Of the feathered tribe, who
mistake clumsily constructed scarecrow
for live peasant, or lump of chalk for
new-laid egg. A far better instance of
success in still.life painting is furnished
by the story of George Morland, who, be-
ing unable to pay the reckoning at an inn,
where the thnftless artist had halted dur
ing his vagrant wanderings, beat hasty
retreat by low window. On the land
lord entering the deserted chamber he be-
held upon table what appeared the
untouched meal of his fraudulent visitor,
but which was actually painted repre-
sentation OF the food with its correspond
ing plates and dishes The landlord, at
first much aggrleved by the non-payment
OF his bill aud the damage done to his
furniture, was easily appeased when a
certain connoisseur, who happened to call
at the in, offered to purchase the painted
table for a price which more than compen-

One of the most striking sights that
takes the attention of the traveller in Japan
is that of the wooden sandals worn by the
thirty-6ve millions of people. These san.
dals have u separate compartment for the
great toe, and make cacking noise on
the streets. Straw slippers are also worn
and traveller setting out on a journey
will strap supply of them on his back,
that he may put on new pair when the
old is worn out. They cost but cent and
half per pair They are rights and letts,
and leave the foot free to the air-we
never see those deformities of the foot in
Japan. They are never worn in the house,
being left outside the door; passing down
the street you see long rows of them at the
doors, old and new, large and small, It is
surprising to see how rapidly the Japs
step out Of them, and pick them up again
with their feet, without stopping, when
leaving the house.

OF soul or body brings our end more nigh.
Death chooses his own time, til that has come
All evils may be borne.
We shrink and shudder at the surgeons

Each nerve recoiling from the cruel steel
Whose edge seems searching for the quivering
life;
Yet TO our sense the bitter pangs reveal
That still, although the trembling hesh be
torn,
This, also, can be borne.
We see sorrow rising in our way,
And try to flee from the approaching ILL;
We seek some small escape, we weep and
But when the blow falls. then our hearts
are still,-
Not that the pain is of its sharpness shorn,
But think it can be borne.
We wind our life about another life;
We hold it closer, desrer than our Own,-
Anon it faiut# and falls in deadly strife,
Leaving US stunned, aud strick en- and

But. rh! we do not die with those we mourn
This also, can be borne.
Beheld, We live through all things, famine,

Bereavement, pain, all grief and misery
All woe and sorrow; life infiicts its worst
On soul and body, but we cannot die,
Though we be sick and tired and faint and

A GIGANTIC RAILROAD SCHLME

From the Chicago Times

From the Chicago Times
Major Lynch's scheme-or Mr.. Hinton
Helpers scheme, as the case may be, for
there are two claimants Of the honor ot
the inventon-to build railroad from
the United States to Cape Horn, or there
abouts, along the foot of the Cordilleras,
is not likely to meet with much public
favor. The plan, which is now before
congress, proposes a convention OF repre-
sentatives from all the American republics
and Brazil to adopt measures looking to-
ward the construction OF railroad along
he eastern slope of the great mountain
chain which extends throughout the whole
length of the American continent. 1t is
claimed for tnis project that its realization
would encourage closer and reciprocal
intimacy in trade and commerce" between
the United States and other countries
which the railway would traverse, and
would, in fact, inaugurate most magnih
cent "boom" for the business of the new
world. 1t is to be feared, however, that
the scheme is rather visionary one, and
that capitalists would never take kindly
to it. There is plenty of business for a
railway connecting the United State' with
Mexico, perhaps, but not for one extend.
ing along the eastern foot of the noun
tain range The Mexican terra caliente,
which such a road would traverse,
produces nothing but tropical fruits
and the vessels plying between the
Mexican coast and New Orleans bring
away all of the fruit which the lazy IN.
habitants can be induced to gather. A
railroad connecting the United States
with Mexico must. in order to pay divi.
dends TO its shareholders, penetrate to the
rich interior cities OF Guanaiuato, Qnere.
taro, Leon, Aguascalientes, Guadalajara,
Mexico, and Pueblo, and must touch the
Pacific coast. A railroad following the
route proposed for Major Lynch or Mr..
Helpers line, would, after leaving Mex
c), PASS through the worst portions Of
Central America. 1t would be on the
wrong side of the Gordileras for commerce.
In South America, too, it would traverse
wilderness throughout its entire extent
1t is quite possible that enormous wealth
is gestating in the womb of the future OF
the South American trade, but it is clear
that this railroad project could not hasten
the aCCouchement. Nothing was ever
made by building railways off the lines Of
population and trade, and neither capital
lists nor governments can be expected to
contribute money to such scheme as the
one which has just come to the light in
the senate. 1t is evidently the work of
certain impracticable enthusiasts, who,
without being capable of appreciating the
practical difficulties which stand in the
way, are fascinated with the idea of a
great continental railway, extending from
north to south and uniting the most In
harmonious people of the earth with an
iron band
