Some lessons for North Carolina

Ii is a notorious fact that all the rail
roads in Connecticut grant free passes TO
State officials and members ot the Legls
lature. Even the Judges of the courts
carry deaIhead tickets. 1t might be as
sumed that all this deadhCad business Is
considered by the railroads a cheap way
OF exertine and commanding influence at
times when help is needed. Originally
the free pass drew a prize almos. every
time, and It's importance to the railroads
considered incstlmable IN comparison
with all other moral Influences which
we're brought 70 bear upon legislation.
The advantage Of the system, to begin
With, was that it was discriminating;
passes were quietly given to the favored
Few, who kept their own counsel and,
by their personal Influence, directed leg
| islation without exciting splclon. But a
| rura! member, who was supposed to be
Ijo0 innocent to require pass, as long as
some good man in his county was riding
| rec for the express purpose ot looking
| after him, finally got on to the scheme
land when he had his eyes wide open he
| didn't wait for a railroad company to
come TO him, but he went straight to the
captain ; Office aud got his pass. They
| all do it now And the railroad pass, be
iug 80 common and 80 easy to get, Is
worth the time it takes the officers 10
make it out, but it i~n worth cent as
guide to legislation n favor OF rail
road. In fact, after all that IS said about
passes, the average legislator who gets
/ one thinks that, IN ORDER to prove The
possession o. an unjmpeachabIe virtue
aud still ride free, he must vote against
! t railroads every time. and he does II
as proof o. his ncoruplibllItv. 1t would
be better for the railroads.. on their own
ac, Ounf. il they would refuse To grant
passes: and il is not perhaps altogether
their fault they do not. Tor the presl-
iGcacv OF the LEGISLATURE in lis begging
demands makes il embarrassing. prob
ably. to refuse.
The fate OF Mr.. Plgott's resolution
showed where the tender spot IN tins
whole matter was. More than two
thirds Of the members OF the House hao
passes in their pockets some half 8
dozen apiece-and it was considered
funny, that an inquiry should be made

SCIENCE APPLIED TO BREEDING
The annual meeting of the Maryland
Improved Live Stock Breeders Asso-
citation was held yesterday afternoon at
the Carrolton Hotel. DR.. w. Il. Brooks
OF Johns Hopkins University, delivered
an interesting address on What Science
Has Done for the Improvement OF
Domesticated Animals The Doctor
said that the greatest aid science ever
gave to the improvement Of domestl tlcat-
ed animals was the work Of Darwin Oh
natural selections. The vast improve
ment ia this line for the past thirty
wears was due to Darwin. This princi-
pie of selection cuts both ways. We
may take what Is best among class
and reap a decided improvement. or
take what is worse and gather in the
very reverse. This principle Of selec-
ton is also applicable to human beings.
The great objection, however, is that
human beings l0iU not par 10 sat the
taste of breeders, but 90 QB and act aS
they please. The two fundamental
points to a breeder are heredity and
variation. Heredity is to hold on TO
what is best, and variation is the addlt-
ion of some new characteristic whereby
the offspring may be superior to the
parent. From the best evidence al
hand, the elements otheredity generally
come from the female parent. while the
addition of any new trait or character ;
tic is attributed to the male.

PANAMA's RENOVATION.

Seizure of Steamer at AspinwaIl-Ar-
rest of Pacific BTail Superintendent.
PANAMA, March 30.-The Star md her
aid bulletins published to-day say that
the steamer Colon was seized to-day at
Aspinwall by revolutionists, who de-
manded the delivery of q shipment of
arms on board for the reYOlutiOnists. The
agents refused.
Mr.. Conner, the local superintendent
of the Pacific Mail Company, was
arrested. Later the Captain and purser
were placed under arrest on board. Sub
sequently Capt. Dowd, of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, Mr.. Wright, the
United States Consul, and Lieutenant of
the American man-of-war Galena were
arrested and marched off to Cuartell.
They were released at o'clock on condi-
ton that the arms should be delivered,
and the delivery is now going on. The
American and English war ships did
nothing to protect foreign interests, be-
cause the revolutionary chief declared
that he would resist their interference by
force. The Americans are indignant at
the insult to the flag and the outrage to
their persons and property. Troops go
hence tonight to attack the reVOiutiOnists,
who, however, are in strong force, and,
with arms from Colon, will probably be
able to control events in their own way
and their own interests,

ATLANTA, GA, March 30.-In playing
off the tie game this afternoon between
the Atlantis and Louisvilles, the home
team won a great victory over their 0ppO-
nents by a score of Is to 3. The Atlantas
were in fine form, and, whether at the bat
or in the field, handled themselves beautl-
fully, while the playing of the visitors
was on par with that of amateurs. In
the seventh inning the Atlantas ratified
the LOuisvilleS by getting in seven runs.
From then until the ending OF the game
the playing of the visitors was marked
with much Fooseness and indifference.
The batteries were DundOn, the mute,
and McVey for Atlanta, and Reccius and
Crotty for Louisville. The Atlantas made
7 errors to LOuisyille's II, and the home
team got IS hits to the visitors 2.
DundOn struck out and Reccius 8.
The earned runs were Atlantas and
Louisvilles 0. The home team made two
home runs, two 3-baggers and two 2-bag-
gers. The Louisvilles leave for Birming-
