Faith which was sometimes shaken
as to the building of the Baltimore and
Philadelphia Railroad was strengthened
yesterday when it became known that
the work of excavating had actually
commenced. AT six o'clock the first
blow with pick was struck at the east
end of the new bridge-the new bridge
that is to be. To-day work will be
commenced along DUPONT street and
soon thousands of men will be engaged
all along the line. There is nobody in
Wilmington that will not be pleased to
hear the news. More railroads mean
more improvements, more business and
more wealth. The building of the new
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad means,
iron manufactures, iron foundries,
machine shops, coal yards, commission
houses, lumber yards, car shops, coach
factories and other industries in the
western and northern part Of the city.
1t means that DUPONT street through
the Forty Acres shall be the Railroad
avenue and Water street Of the eastern
and southern part of the city. Itmeans
that the city will soon be extended to
take in the Highlands, Riddles and
Bancroft's s Banks. 1t means parks and
new Water Works up the Brandywine.
1t means population of eighty thous'

of the Baltimore and Philadelphia
Railroad detracting from the business
of a rival road it will build up busi.
ness of its own and in few years both
the great lines will have as much bust.
ness as the only trunk line that runs
through our city now has. Every friend
of improvement should hail the sound
of the blasting rock, the thud of the
pick axe, the sharper click of the stone
hammer and the "gee-up' of the cart

Re(ter Than Wealth.

Many an unwise parent labors hard
and lives sparingly all his life for the
purpose of leaving enough to give his
children a start in the world, as it is
called. Setting a young man atioat
with money left him by his relatives is
like tying bladders under the arms of
one who cannot swim ten chances to
one he will lose his bladders and 60 to
the bottom. Teach him to swim, and
he will never need the bladders. Give
your child a sound education, and you
have done enough for him. See to it
that his morals are pure, his mind cul-
tivated, and mis- whole nature made
subservient to laws which govern man,
and you have given what will be OF
more value than the wealth of the
Indies.

THE RUN OF THE MAID OF THE MIST -
The only vovagers down the Whirlpool
Rapids, which begin a mile below Niagara
Falls, who ever survived the great passage
were those who went down with the Maid
of the Mist, in 1861. On June 10Th of
that year, Joel r. Robinson, brave pilot
of the waters under the falls-undertook
To deliver the steamer at Lewiston. below
the whirlpool. She had become unprotit-
able for her owner. Her passage across
the river infringed the laws, and she was
sold on condition of being delivered below
the whirlpool. Robinson, who had been
saver of life, and man of great courage,
had two companions, Jones and Mcintyre.
1t was never believed they would come
through alive. At 3 P. NJ the Maid of the
Mist steamed out of her dock into mid.
stream, and taking a short turn up the
river swung round and lay on the water
headed for the Rapids. Robinson rang
the bell, and the engineer started her at
full speed and came on deck. He blew
the whistle and the boat started on to the
rapids amid the cheers of Unlocking thou
sands. Mcintyre stood beside Robinson
at the wheel. The Maid swept swiftly
under the bridge, and Robinson tugging
at the wheel tried to head her so as to
take the inside curve of the river, but the
tremendous cross current lifted her like
straw and pushed her bodily to the outer
side of the curve. Still she was kept
headed fairly, though trembling in every
timber. ut seemed" said Robinson, "as
if the river was sliding under me-" so
terrific was the speed. When not quite
half way down jet of water from below
struck her rudder, column of water
dashed over her starboard side and keeled
her over. Her smoke staff fell with a
crash, her overhangers were started.
Robinson was thrown violently on his
back, and Mcintyre fell against the wheel
house, smashing through it. So she dashed
madly on until she reached the terrible
whirlpool. Again she rode on an leven
keel. Robinson, half stunned as he was,
sprang to the wheel and set her to the
right of the great pot" in the great pool,
then turned her directly through the neck
of the basin, and she went with a spring
as though shaking the water from her
sides down tc the calmer waters below.
Robinson" says MIR. Holley in his book
on Niagara, "aged twenty years in day."
Always a quiet man, he became deeply
rthoughtful ever after, He had seen death
face to face.

a single button. From its left breast

by black silk cord. Rising majesticalIy
from the coat to dizzy altitude was a
close fitting and dazzling white collar,

There are moss 5ordorel robes on the Ills,
There are sunny feet threading the valleys,
-Tlere's laugh in the gush of the rlls.
Afar, on these rad liant morAings,
The mountains dim brow we behold,
And the veil of far distance enwrlps them
In exquisite purple and gold.
Tho roses cling to tho treuis

The timid-eyed hlwers of the mell1gs
Peep out to the soft wo1ins light;
In the whispering breeze throu th tha trea top,
In the song Of tbs sweet-winged bird
Through the mlny-t1ned carols of nltlre
The song Of summer is heard.
But ah! is this all? Is the summer
Sc fair and 50 calm and so sweet?
Do no shadows steal d1wn through the pathways
Where gambol her goldeu-shod feet?
On her brow, so serene in its belutY,
Do the damp drops of toll never fail?
The light of her eyes, blue and tender,
Do storm clouds ne'er veil with pail?
There c)meth a time when the freshness
OF her beautiful bloom is fled;
When the roses are dropping and scentlcss,
And tile field flowers withered and dead;
When great haryests beckon to labor,
Aud call us with warning tone,
When, with earnest tollings and StrivinEs,
Che shaayes must be gathered home;
There com 'tll time when the storm king
Shall gather his mightiest powers,

May follow her sum IT hours
When the summer all palliI and stricken

And over us break in the morning

FORGET not to leI ner for winter
Rich stores of the fruit and the wheat,
Lest the storm and the darkness shall follow

And you sigh in the chill autumn morning,
The summer has faded too soou."

EXPLOSIVE ROAST BEEF We were
living down along the Rappahannock some
time in the tall of 1868, when Andy said
one day: Look here, Harry; let's have
some roast beef once. I'm tired of this
everlasting frying and frizzing, and my
mouth waters for good roast. And I've
lust learned how to do it, too; for saw a
fellow over there in another camp at it,
and tell you it was success! 1ou see,
you take your chunk Of beef and wrap it
up in cloth or newspaper, and then you
get some clay and cover it thick all over
with the clay, until it looks like big
forty pound cannon ball; and then you
put it in among the red hot Goals, and it
bakes hard like brick; and when its done,
you simply crack the she'll off, and out
comes your roast just prime"
We at once set to work, and all went
we'll enough till Corporal Harter came
along. While Andy was off for more
clay, and was looking after more paper.
Ilarter fumbled around our beef, saying
he didn't believe we could roast it that
wav.
"Just you wait, now,n said Andy, com
ing in with the clay; "well show you"
So we covered our beef thickly with
tough clay, and rolled the great ball into
the camp lire, burying it among the hot
ashes and Goals, and sat down to watch
it, while the rest of the boys were boiling
their coffee and frying their steaks for
dinner. The fire was good one, and
there were about dozen black tin cups
dangling on as many long sticks. their
several owners lounging about in circle
when all OF a sudden, with terrific bang!
amid shower OF sparks and ashes, the
coffee boilers were scattered to right and
left, and dozen quarts of coffee sent his
sing and sizzling into the fire and our
poor roast beef was sorry looking mess
indeed when we picked it out of the gen.
eral wreck.
We always believed that Harter had
somehow smuggled cartridge into that
beet of ours while our backs were turned.
