FORWARD YOUTHS OF TENNESSEE ,

fOkWARDI YOUTHS OF TENNESSEE
The Nashville Banner did good service to
Tennessee the other day when it called at
tention TO the fo~ssilism and Bourbonism
which has not yet died the natural death in
this State to which events have doomed it.
Tennessee always wins favor in the eyes Of
those who visit it from it's great and varied
natural attractions. In natural endowments,
Hhere mas 1t q superior? Climate, soil,
mines, natural productions, all are of the
hrst order, while the situation is free from
the severity of the Northern winter and
spared the patching heat of States further
south. Yet with all these advantages Ten
nsssee has Dbl hourished TO the extent her
many advantages give opportunity for.
why should Georgia, for instance, distsnce it
IN trne race Of manufacturing progress? Or
why should Arkansas be more able TO attract
the immigrant? When we see a splendid
machine turn out little or poor work, we
refer the inferiority 10 the workmen that
operate it, and when we see a Gne State, like
Tennessee, allowing any neighbor TO exceed
1t in advancement, will the logic of events
allow US any other plea than that We, who
live within its boundaries, nave not used it,

COST OF TH LINES.
A Telegraph Engineer BEFORE the senate
subcommittee.

New YORK, August I'D lniel l. Rob
irs) ID, telegraph engineer and contractor, was
the inst witness examined to-day by the
United States Senate Sub Committee on Edu-
Gallon and Labor. He said he had seen
McClellan's estimate OF The cost of construc-
lion OF a telegraph line of eight wires from
New York to Cbica. o, wherein the latter
said it could be completed for operation for
the sum of S725. 965. This, witness thought,
was about hall of the real cost of copstluc-
ton. Such lines would cost at least $1,000 per
mile. He was not prepared to give any de-
tailed estimate OF the cost Of construction
and equipment, aud for his reason Senator
George said he thought the opinion of the
witness of rot much value as evidence.
A warm controversy ensued between the
Senator from Mississippi and Senator Blair,
chairman, who accused his colleague of dis.
courtesy 10 the witness in i%nierrupting the
latter by any such expressions of opinion.
Senator George replied that he proposed 10
take up the time as he liked in questioning
the witness, and insisted upon a complete
statement OF the cost of each item of ex-
penses In the construction.
The witnsss refused to ans wer the question
any more definitely than he had done, as
he said he thought it would be coptrary to
his interest 10 do 30. In regard to rights of
way, witnssi said he had known of cases
where over $1,000 had been paid for the priv
ilege Of er,cling six poles. This item was
probably the most important ia the cost of
construction. On come routes the Gel OF
right of way was much larger than on o;hers.
Tne most expensive route in this re-
spect would be, he thought, that
of a line between Washington and Boston,
and the right OF way between Washington
and Chicago could not be acquired except
for q large consideration. Providing he had
the rights of way possessed by the Western
Union Company, Robinson asserted that he
would willingly undertake TO reproduce the
eutire telegraphic System CT this country for
S5O,000,000, and would hesitate at $50 co.,
600. The most aluable rights of way pos
sesssd by the Western Union Company were
those obtained from the railroad systems of
the country, and no estimate would be formed
of the cost TO the Western Union Com.
p ny of acquiring these leases. The ordi-
nary expense connected with this item is in

cities. This was usually placed under the
head of legal expenses, for lawyers usually
employed obtain privilege in these cases

struction Ct the Mutual Union, American

THERE are indications of a very interest
ing addition to our astronomical knowledge.
During the late eclipse of the SUE, which
was of unusually long endurance, The French
observers at Caroline Island saw a bright
red star, hitherto unknown. Our own as
tronomers, Watson and Swift, discovered in
1878 what appeared 10 be a planet; it was OF
a red color, and now Proctor announces the
discovery of a hitherto unknown star in such
rapid motion as to be inferred to be compsr-
atively near the earth, and of the ninth
magnitude. Should all these parties have
discovered the same object, a very interest.
ing addition will have been made to our
knowledge Of the heavens.

Br0OklBn GiObo.

People in the vicinity of the depot Of the
New York and New England railroad at
Franklin are often reminded Of the compar-
ison between the daily business now and at
the time of the old Norfolk County road
from Dedham to Blackstone was opened,
some thirty years ago. Only one or two
trains day each way were run, aud, as a
gentleman remarked the other day, it was
uncerl ain when they would com" along. An
old engineer, who was employed by the Nor.
folk County company, relates how men were
sonnet lines put on the lender with sawhOrse
aud saw to cut the wood TO make steam for
the trip, because there was no supply on
hand and no money no" credit to provide
any. IL is said an official once gave up bis
gold watch as security when a train was
seized for debt while en- route. People Of
the vicinity could reach Providence at night
quite well via WatertOwn, but If they started
ia the morning Il involved a wait of two or
three hours at that place, or four or five
hours ride in numbering stage coach. Now
ali hours ride brings passengers TO that city
without change Of cats, with the chance OF
five or six trains daily, while the facilities
for reaching other points are equally i'm
proved.

An Engineers Long Run.
Rdii'odu Age.

Probably the longest run by engineers on
any railroad leading out of Des Moines, or
in fact, in the State OF Iowa, Is that Of the
Wabash galway engineers from Des Moines
to Moberly, Mo-, a distance Of 1877 miles.
The extent of this run may be realized when
Il is stated that the usual distance OIL ell we'll
operated roads is as near as possible to 1O0
miles or less.
The Rock Island road across Iowa, 800
miles, has that distance divided into three
divisions for its engineers-Davenport to
Brooklyn, Brooklyn to Stuart, and from
Stuart to CouHcil Bluffs. The. Keokuk
branch, 100 odd miles, is the exception, there
being no division on that run. The Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy, as strictly as posi-
bic, divides at the regulation limit of 100
miles; ditto the Chicago and Northwestern,
but the latter has run of $50 miles, from
Boone to Council Bluffs, for passengers only.
II will therefore be seen that the Wabash
run from Des Moines to Moberly is nearly
double that of ordinary distances covered by
engineers, and from forty 10 ffty miles
greater than any other run In Iowa. Not
only that, but the passenger engineers double
this run three times week, or three trips
each in six days. There Is, of course, an
incentive for this extraordinary labor Of ae4
miles day py the engineers. They are paid
by the mile, aud therefore ear fror sls5 70
5000 ner month. vfl3e the usual engineers,
wages are less than $lso ~Ah This is
the reason that tbeses engineers IRE patient
and capable Of this long run, end In that they
are very human.
