Of course the way of the world is not to be
too severely criticized, for humanity, in the
exercise its abundant will power, follows the
fixed laws of its being, and we are not quite
wise enough to see the final outcome of it all.
A condition we severely eXecrate to-day, may,
in the economy of the universe, result in
greater good than any mortal could have
dreamed of.

Planning to Avoid the Ferry Transfer
from GrOtOn to New London.


The State railroad commissioners win
meet in New London, CT, as soon as railroad
travel can be undertaken with any assurance
Of reaching ones destination, to approve of
the place selected by the New York, Provi-
dence e. Boston Railroad company for
bridging the Thames river. The bridge is to
GRO S from New London to Groton at Win
throp's Point, the finish of the four mile
course rowed over by Yale and Harvard in
their races on the Thames. The bridge will
cost a round million, and will be the
finest structure of the kind in the
state 1t is to be 50O-foot
span, with two draws OH either side,
passage of steam and sailing craft of any
size to and from Norwich. To ACQUIRE prop
erty necessary for the laying of tracks for
approaches to the bridge, an expenditure of
another 81, 100000 will be required. The
plan OF the bridge is now in the hands of
builders, and the contract will be awarded in
the course of few days. The bridge is to be
completed during the summer of 1858, and is
the biggest undertaking in railroad enter
state. The bridge will eventually lead
TO the abandonment of tho railway
ferryboat now employed at this city in con-
yeying trains of the Boston d Providence
road across the river. The layout of the
tracks will be through valley lying d.
rectly opposite Winthrop's Point on the
Crotch side of the river, and will shorten by
mile the distance to be traversed between
Groten and Noank, to which latter point the
Boston & Providence road is doubled tracked
1t is believed that other important changes
will be made by the railroads centering here
as result of this move by the Boston IL
Providence company.

Aggricyed Brewers.

The brewers of the country are feeling par
ticularly aggrieved just now over the same
decision OF the United States Supreme Court
since it cut Off all hope of compensation for
them in prohibition States. Since the de-
cision was rendered one large brewery in
Kansas Las been adjudged a nuisance and
ordered removed. A meeting OF representa-
tive brewers was held in this city last week
to consider this new and embarrassing stu
alton. I lie thought OF their business be ng
declared common nuisance is lard 10 hear.
We know of but one thing the brewers can do
under the circUmst ances, and that is to meet
and adopt resolutions to the effect that tie
Supreme Court is the nuisance in the case
and not tie treweries. This will probably
convince the country of the upright and hon
orable character of Il er business, and moth
ing is needed moro than that.-Nec York

A Canny Old Lady.

An amusing story was told me re-
GENTLY as having occurred In one OF the
minor Boston societies, writes a corrc-
spondept Of the Providence Journal.
4 worthy and moderately wealthy old
lady In her declining years, occupied
her leisure in making silk patchwork
quilts. This was before the idiocy OF
tho modern "crazy quilt had been sent
as judgment upon the sinful world,
and those productions were hideous az
fairs wherein scraps of silk were labo.
riously patched together in geomctrical
patterns. These quilts were regularly
donated tothe annual fairs whereby the
church to which the old lady belonged
ondoavored to replenish its scantily fur
nished treasury. Nobody wanted to
buy them, and they werc apt to be
ratified off in an ign ominious fashion at
the close OF tho fair, much to the chagrin
of tho nice old lady, who was
deeply tinged with the femi-
nine. ceiling OF emulation to have her
productions bought eagerly. Now the
fiice old lady was a shrewd and canny
person, and one day just before the
time OF the annual fair she sent for her
lawyer and had him add a codicll to
her will, whereby the sum of $25 for
each quilt was bequeathed to the per-
son, who after that date, should buy
her quilts at the church fairs. The law
yer was astonishod at the strangencss Of
the provision, and at first wondered if
the old lady were not beginning to I'm.
pair her faculties. On second thought,
however, he smiled to himself and drew
the codicil as directed, cheerfully as.
surfing his client that her injunctions to
strict secrecy should be faithfully OBJ.
served.
For six years the dear old lady lived
to bestow upon the parish her blessing
and silk quilt annually, the gilt being
thrifty made to take the place Of
larger donations solicited if not cx-
pectcd. For six years it was noticed
that sister of the lawyer bought the
silk quilt on the very first day of the
fair, and when the canny old lady was
gathered to her foremothers, the lawyer
supposed he had secured for his sister
the sum of $3.50. But the canny old
lady had neatly cut the codici from the
will, and his sister was out OF pocket
the price of six very unsatisfactory silk
quilts. The tale has no moral except
that lawyers are sometimes too clever by
half.

THE DEAD IN NEW YORK.
Interments Prevented by the Impede
ment TO Travel.

A gentleman who has just managed to
reach home from New York by way of Fall
River, says that one of the great troubles in
New York is how to bury the dead 1t is
estimated that between 200 and 800
persons lie dead in that city, and it is
impossible to bury them, as horses
cannot be hired to convey the re-
mains TO their last resting places. The
gentleman went on to attend the funeral of q
relative. He stopped at a hotel, and early
Monday morning went block away to see a
friend. He was obliged to remain there un-
til noon, the 14th, being actually unable t }
get back to the hotel. He managed to reach
the house where his dead relative lay and
found the corpse snd the coffin had been
taken to the roof and placed out in the snow
to preserve it until the time should come
when it could be buried.
