The Pennsylvania railroad company is max
ing arrangements TO elevate the tracks by
which it's cars enter Jersey City. This is a note
worthy concession to the feelings of the people
in state which the corporation has been popu-
larly supposed to carry about in its pocket. As
railroad companies are not given to sentiment,
Ii is fair to assume that a chariy involving the
expenditure of nearly million dollars was in
Difference, not 10 any mere idea of the pleasure
1t would excite. but TO the conviction that di-
rect and tangible profit would flow from 1t.
What is true of Jersey City ought to be true, by
parity of reasoning, of any other city of equal
br greater population. In Washington there
are districts lying almost unOccupied which
would be available for some useful purpose
were it not for the railway tracks which lock
them In and make ingress and egress both diffl-
cult and dangerous. One day, perhaps, when the
city has so far outgrown its present bounds as to
make the filling up of its waste spaces neces-
gary, the people viii taxa this matter into their
own hands and force the railway compa-
nies either to remove their freight and pas.
enger stations to the suburbs o. to raise
or lower all tracks which interfere With free
passage through the streets. 1t would be of
decided advantage TO the companies to forestaIl
. movement Of that sort by Q voluntary con-
cession, for 1t does even giant corporation no
harm to keep on kindly terms with the public
One Of the celebrated cases of regent date which
all the railroad lawyers know by heart is the
litigation which ended in forcing the New York
Central company to elevate its tracks through
the city OF Rochester. A few years before the
anal decision was reached, almost any outside
observer was ready to sneer at the idea Of
successfni popular revolt in a city which the
company regarded as quite under its control
Nov that few years experience shows what
the effect Of the new arrangement is, if Presi-
dent Depey had the power to change back to-
morrov he would not do it.

A great many stories are told Of the origin OF
the holiday which we shall celebrate Tomorrow
but perhaps no one has hit the exact truth
Dr. Franklin, in whose mental makeup philos-
ophy and imagination were strangely mixed,
whose pedigree he may really have traced, or
which he may have invented as absolutely as
the personality of Poor Richard. he said that
IL Was the first intent of the pilgrim fathers to
set apart q day for fasting, prayer and larnenta-
ton over their manifold sufierings when one
OF their number rose In his place and begged
them TO look at the matter from another point
Of view. 1t was true, he said, that they had
suffered hardships, but they had also been
greatly blessed; would il not be more accept
able In the sight OF heaven To give thanks for
their blessings than to bemoan their misfor-
tunes: His reasoning turned the tide. The faith
ers revoked their first resolution and adopted
another making the day one of feasting and
praise instead of fasting and tears.
Whether this tale be true or not, il Is cer.
fainly good enough to be accepted without too
much scrutiny. Thanksgiving day ough ht to be
every where observed as a cheerful holiday, on
which, In spite OF the worries which beset us
turned toward the brightside of things. How
widely its benefcence appeals to the popular
heart is shown by the gradual spread Of its OBJ
Seryance. Confined at one time to single re-
ligious communion, il has made conquest of
all; and from single section of the country it
has reached forth aud gathered in the whole
Union, and become as much national holiday
for Americans rs the Fourth OF July itself.

A Silly Practical Joke,

A Boston telegram says: The good
people Of Salem were some what startled
this morning on finding bottle of
Bakers island containing apaper on
which was written story that a
yachting party was dying Of starvation.
The people said to be in such de-
plorable condition all lived in Brain
tree. A visit to the latter town
this evening found the family said to be
perishipg in a remarkably healthy con-
dition. They were much surprised
on learning that what they had intend
ed for a joke had created so much ex-
element. 1t seems that gay party
from Brainuee started out on q short
cruise on Sunday, July 18th. They
carried a goodly store Of eatablcs and
dIinkables, and when lunch was over
the company began to amuse themselves
by throwing bottles overheard. One
charming young lady, with the spirit of
mischief, wrote on slip Of paper the
names of the company and the startling
statement that they were all dying of
hunger. The bottle was securely
corked, thrown overheard, and was
found many miles from the spot. The
perpetrator of the joke is now receiving
the sympsthies Of her townsfolk.

The New Orleans Times. Democrat,
in an article on the value Of small in.
dustries, says:
Home capital and home people can
not do anything more fruitful or pa
triotic than TO encourage the mainlc-
nance and extension Of small industries
in our midst. A magnificent home
market is growing in the southern
States for everything this or any other
city can produce 10 the way Of desira-
bic food, rsiment, or adornment."
Correct. And be 1t remembered
that in many instances small indus
tries are but the beginning of big in
dustriss. II is seldom the case that a
man who starts a small industry and
makes a success OF it cannot command
the aid Of capital when the time comes
for a judiciOus expansion of that in

Azure As the writer beheld il ut the
pivotal point Of the battle Of Chancsl-
iorsy,lle he could desire no nobler
model. About 10 O'Clock on Sunday
morning Stuart (who assumed command
Of Jackson corps when the latter was
wounded the previous night, after five
hours Of desperate fighting had united
bis right with tho left Of Ander-
son and McLaws; and Q com.
bined movement, under the eye and
direction of Lee, resulted in driving the
enemy from their entrenched position
at the Charlottesville House. As
they fell back in confusion before the
Confederatss who converged upon the
plateau in front, the building burst into
flames, adding additional animation to
tho exciting scene. Just then the Great
Csptsip, followed by his staff, moved
past the point where the writer hspPen-

most marvellous composure and free.
dom from enthusiasm. But rs he
paused and lifted his feld-glass
deliberately and without q parti-
Gle of apparent excitement, and sur
veyed the stupendous scene, he present
ed 0 picture Of noble and serene gran
deur which will never be exceeded
while this planet of ours revolves on its
noiseless axis. There was nothing of
the gaudia certaminis Of the Roman
poet. 1t was q self-contained SUBJ
Unity and holiness infinitely more ad-
mirable than the fierce and impstuous
srdor which Homer ascribes to his
mighty heroes. And so we repeat, Let
the statue represent General Lee as he
actually appeared upon his favorite war
horse Traveller and let our Viz
ginia artist Valentine be appointed for
the delicate and difficult task;
and let it, when completed, be
placed in the Capitol Squsre, in com.
pany with the effigy of his immortal
lieutenant Stonewall Jackson, on whom
be so implicitly relied, and the eques-
trian statue Of the Father of His Coun-
try, whom he so much resembled in
lofty characteristics so that if the
lineage of illustrious Virginians shall
fail, then, as the Florentine artist sought
his originals not among the living, but
from the carved Titsns in the cato
combs, so the yirginians Of the future
may behold in these glorious eflgies the
veritable and inspiring images Of she
illustrious men who conferred imperish-
able renown upon their native State.
