New Laws.

A bill TO be entitled an act to amend Section
544j of Mansheld's Digest,
Be it enacted by the general as
sembly oft'e state OF Arkansas:
That section 5447 Of Mansfield's
Digest be and the same is hereby
amended to read as follows: "Every
company or associatiin formed under
tile provisions Of this act shall, with.
ia two years, file map and profile
of the route intended to be adopted,
as provided in section 5442, and
that all laws in conflict herewith be
and the same are hereby repealed" +"
The following is the law repealed
by the above bill, viz:
"And shall be entitled to right
ofway for a distance of ten miles on
each side of such route; and no com
papy or corporation shall be allowed
articles of association, or become a
body corporate, for the purposes
contemplated in this act, which shall
have route running parallel or in
the same or general direction to the
one previously incorporated within
said distance"
The passage of this bill permits
the building of a railroad from Fort
Smith to Paris, in Logan, and Darda
nellie, in Yell county. There are
already articles Of ASSOCIATION drawn
up for railroad from Fort Smith to
Paris. with view to extending it
from Paris to Hot Springs, and the
passage of this law removes the last
obstacle. The new road being with
in two miles Of the Little Rock and
Fort Smith railway, situated on the
north side OF The Arkansas river, the
new road being on the south side of
the river. The effect Of this law is,
in short, to permit the building OF
railroads wherever the people want
them, provided always, the money
can be secured with which to build.

Three propositions lately made
seem to show that man proposes at
last to assert his dominion over the
material world in earnest. Since
complaint is made that productive
land is becoming scarce, science an
swers that the great deserts of AT
rica may be converted into valuable
farm lands by means Of irrigation
from artesian wells or other sources;
the colder regions near the pole are
to be made comfortable by drawing
heat from the bosom of the earth,
and by damning the straits of Belle
Isle so as to defect the polar cur
rent, it is proposed to draw the
gulf stream near the upper part of
the North American coast, clear the
st. Lawrence of Ice, and make the
climate of Canada as warm as that
of southern France. When again
the earth becomes too small for lis
population, the Columbus of the fu
ture will leave it in an air ship
steam to some other planet, and
return to invite immigration again
to new world. The wonders of
science are almost as startling as the
revelations of religion.

transportation and man with ener-
CIV. Within two years we have
town which is, to all intents and
purposes seIf-supporting because
each citizen is also a fruit-grower,
and each has some trade which
brings in something to make the
pot boil. We have more than a
dozen such hamlets in Putnam
county alone. The strangers al
ways predict the speedy collapse OF
each, subsequent inspection salts
fes him that the growth Is healthy
and he pays for a lot fouI times
what was asked at his first visit.
Every new town in Florida passes
through this birth and growth; the
old towns suffered a new birth and
began a new growth upon the in
ception Of the Florida boom.
Immigrants from the southern
states scatter widely and often To-
cate in sparsely settled districts;
those from the east cluster around
the church as if they still felt the
need of protection from heaven and
each other against the savage en- e.
mics which menaced their forefath-
ers. But we, who have seen what
such cooperation can accomplish
will not disparge the external mani
festations Of it. These little towns
will sustain themselves and grow
whenever they are placed in health
thy situations and amid lands which
will make the orange groves. Elk
perience has proven il, and there
are hundreds of budding mayors in
Florida now who only wait a little
time till the town is large enough
for the man. If the applause of
humanity balls him who makes a
blade of grass to grow in barren
spot, how heavy must be the crown
awaiting our future mayors?
