Government Control of Railroads a Failure

An article is published in the Popular
Science Monthly for May by Arthur T.
Hadley upon the difficulties of railroad
legislation, in which he says:
A second plan for making competition a
public benefit has been that of State own
ership of part of the competing lines. 1t
has been tried on large scale in Belgium
and Prussia, and on a smaller scale in most
other countries, the United States not ex-
cepted. 1t was thought by the advocates
of the system that the Government would
thus obtain controlling influence over the
railroads with which it came in contact,
and be able to regulate their policy by its
example. These hopes have been disap-
pointed. The private railroads under such
circumstances regulate those of the Gov
eminent far more than the Government
regulates the private railroads. There is
no chance to carry out any schemes of far
sighted policy. If the private roads are run
tomake money,the Government roads must
be managed with the same end in view. The
taxpayers will not let the Government lines
show deficit while competing private
lines pay dividends. No administration
would dare to allow such thing, however
important the end to be attained. As a
matter of fact the Government roads OF
Belgium and Germany were as ready to
give rebates as the private lines with which
they came into competition. In Belgium
they went SO far as to grant special rates to
those persons who would agree not to
ship by canal under any circumstances.
The same thing has been done in New
York State; but in Belgium the peculiar
thing was that the canals and railroads
both belonged to the Government, and yet
were lighting one another in this way
The system of partial State ownership was
hardly distinguishable in its effects from
simple private ownership. This fact has
been clearly recognized within the last
twelve years Within this period, Belgium,
Prussia and Italy have abandoned the
mixed system" Belgium and Prussia
have made State management all but uni
versal I'aly has practically given it up

How to Live IOuv

The London Standard says on this point :
" Men or women who intend to be cente-
narians in these days must combine some
thing of the old mode of life with some
thing of the new mode of living. They
must. while availing themselves OF all the
scientific discoveries and sanitary appli-
anees of the age, initiate their grandsires in
the steady and tranquil habits that pre-
vailed before the invention of locomotives
and the telegraph. They must have their
eight hours of sleep regularly they must
have intervals of repose and vacancy in the
day time; they must spend a goodIy por-
ton of their waking hours in the open air.
Nor will that suffice. There will have to
be regularity in the hours of their meals.
and discipline in the ordering of the dishes
OF which the meals are composed. We
cannot believe that anybody will ever live
TO 100 who eats a heavy dinner every
night of his life at S o'clock. Champagne
in abundance and Bordeaux and Bur
gaudy are to be foresworn by persons who
deliberately set before them the attaining
of their hundredth birthday. Neither,
with such an end in view, would the active
life of politician, a lawyer or doctor be
sane enterprise. In order to reach that
distant goal there must be training, if not
| severe. at least regular and unfiinching
Most of all, there must prevail in the ex-
istence OF such person tranquil serenity,
an unruffied calm. Neither generous pas
sions nor enthusiastic ideals must be all
lowed admittance. The pulse must never
be driven up beyond a certain point, either
by work, by anxiety, by fear or BY hope.
AT the same time mere stagnation will, in
all probability. never enable a person to
live to 100. There is such a thing as rust
ing out as well as wearing out. If a candle
| does not burn brightly enough it does not
consume the wax with sufficient rapidity,
and goes out for want of adequate COM

A Forcible Statement.

The following letter, which gives very
clear statement of the evils of the presence
OF Chinese among us, appeared in the Chris
tan Union New York }, to which it was ad-
dressed:
want to make little statement, and
ask the East, with its conscience, what
ought to be done. The people on this
coast find that they cannot compete with
the Chinaman. He lives in numbers in
one room, making the rent fraction; he
can live on five cents day; he has no
family, nor wishes one. In Tucson, three
years ago, thirty-seyen small stores were
Kept by Mexicans, who supported their
families thereby, sending their chill
dren, as general thing, to our public
schools, advancing steadily toward
American citizenship. To-day every
one of these small stores has passed
into the hands of the Chinese. An Ameri-
can dealer with small capital said he
could no longer sell sugar the Chinese
crowded him out. 1t is humiliating, but
true. Our sons cannot compete with the
race. Shall we give up our land for a
philanthropic idea?
/ A poor Irish woman, with four small
/ children to support. says she waits two
months for pay for the washing she does
| Tor railroad men does 1t for very little
then, to be able to get it at all, for the
Chinaman can do it and wait year for his
| pay, If he believes it good at the end of that
Tune. No white person or negro can do il
and buy food for what the Chinaman does
This woman with her children must have q
room to herself She cannot herd with
twenty others, and pay but fifty cents a
month for shelter; she pays Sc for her one
room. What must this woman do? Fol-
the sake of principle must she step back
keep the Chinese, and be supported as 9
pauper?

George washinc.on,s Courtship.

Near the end of May, 1853, Washington
was ordered by the Quartermaster-Gen
OF the British forces to leave Winchester
and make all haste to Williamsburg there
to explain to the Governor and Council in
what desperate condition the Virginia
troops were as regarded clothing and equip
ments. Accordingly he set out on horse
back, accompanied by his servant, Billy
Bishop
The two men had reached Williams
ferry, on the Pamunkey river, and had
crossed on the boat, when they met Mr..
Chamberlayne, Virginia gentleman, liv-
ing in the neighborhood The hospitable
planter insisted that Washington should at
once go to his house. 1t was forenoon.
and dinner would be served as usual. early,
| and after that Colonel Washington could
go forward to Williamsburg, if go he must.
Besides all that, there was a charming
| young widow at his house-Colonel Wash
ington must have known her, the daughter
OF John cambridge, and the wife of John
Parker Custis. Virginia hospitality was
hard to resist. Washington would stay to
dinner if his host would let him hurry off
Immediately afterward
Bishop was hidden to bring his masters
horse around after dinner in good season,
and Washington surrendered himself to
his host. Dinner followed, and the after
noon went by, and Mr.. Chamberlayne was
in excellent humor, as he kept one eye on
the restless horses at the door, and the
other on his guests, the tall, Indian-like
officer, and the graceful, hazel-eyed, ami
mated young widow Sunset came, and
still Washington fingered. Then Mr..
Chamberlayne stoutly declared that no
guest was ever permitted to leave his house
| after sunset. Mrs. Martha Gusts was not
| the one to drive the soldier away, and so
| Bishop was hidden to take the horses back
to the stable. Not till the next morning did
| the young Colonel take his leave. Then he
! dispatched his business promptly at Will
iamsburg, and whenever he could get an
hour dashed over to White house, where
Mrs. Gusts lived. Soprompt vas he about
| this business, also, that when he returned
to Winchester he had the promise of
the young widow that she would marry
him as soon as the campaign was over.

EXTRACTING TEETH WITH A PIsroL.-Old
DR.. Monsey extracted teeth bv fastening a
strong piece OF catgut securely to the tooth
to the opposite end of which he affixed a
bullet. With this bullet and full measure
of powder Q pistol was charged, and when
the trigger was pulled the operation was
performed effectually and speedily. Once
a gentleman who had agreed to try the
novelty, and had even allowed the appara.
tus to be adjusted, at the last moment ex.
claimed, Stop. stop. I've changed my
mind y " But haven't, and you're a foo

the doctor, pulling the trigger. In another
instant the tooth was extracted, much to
the .timid patients delight and astonish

lamb is said to grow, one of the common

FINANCIAL CONDITION OF GREEcE.-An
Eastern exchange says The fact that the
Greek Government is able to negotiate a
loan of fS00,000 in London indicates that
there are parties in that metropolis who
have faith in the ability of Greece to pay,
and are willing to prove their faith by their
works. Greece is poor country and un-
able to raise much money so that wise
acres are specializing as to what power is
backing the little peninsula. All agree
that, in some way or another, Russia is
mixed up in the affair; but as the Russian
Empire is insolvent, the question is by no
means thus answered. The sharpers are of
the opinion that the loan is simply bet
Ii Russia intervenes and a war ensues

Fulton told him about the paddlewheel.

never do. You see. in those times they
were cocksure that the power used to lift
up the water by the wheel would about neu-

CoMsroCK UNDERGROUND FoREsrs.-The
Virginia New Chronicle says: No person
unfamiliar with mining on large scale
can form an adequate idea of the amount
OF lumber daily consumed in timberng on
the Comstock. The interior of the Con.
Virginia hosting works resembles lum-
Der yard in the morning before the timbers
are sent below. AT least 10000 feet are
piled around the shaft ready framed for
lowering. The present daily consumption
OF lumber used in timbering in the various
mines on the lode exceeds 100000 feet, and
requires the destruction annually of a small
forest for that purpose, TO say nothing OF
the vast amount consumed for fuel in driv-
ing hoist and pumping engines. 1t is esti-
mated that the trees required to furnish
the lumber sent into the bowels of the
earth to be used in timbering in the vari-
Gus mines on the Comstock lode would
form an underground forest ten mics
