Political Destiny of Railways.
The grand function Of the railway is to
change the whole basis of civilization from
military to Industrial. The talent, the en-
ergy, the money, which is expended in main-
tanning the whole of Europe as an armed
camp is here expended in building and MAIN
tanning railways, with their army of 2,O00,-
600 of men. Without the help of railways
the rebellion of the southern states could
never have been put down, and two great
standing armies would rave been necessary.
By the railways, aided by telegraphs, it is
easy to extend our Federal system over an
entire continent, and thus dispense forever
with standing armies.
The moral effect of this upon Europe is
great, but its physical effect is still greater.
American railways have nearly abolished
landlordism in Ireland, and they will one day
abolish it in England, and over the continent
Of Europe. so long as Europe was depend
emit for food upon its own fields, the owner of
those fields could fix his own rental. This
he can no longer do, owing to the ~cheapness
Of transportation from Australia and from the
prairies Of America, due to the inventions of
Watt, the Stephensons, Bessemer and Hol-
ley. With the wealth Of the landlord his
political power will pass away. The govern
ment OF European countries will pass out of
the hands Of the great landowners, but not
into those Of the rabble, as is feared. 1t win
pass into the same hands that govern Amer
lea today-the territorial democracy, the
owners Of small farms and the manufacturers
and merchants. Thomas Curtis Clarke, in
Scribners.

Trick or Two.

once went hunting with one
OF his Pensioners. On arriving Mt the
happy hunting grounds, Mr.. Reed was
dismayed to find that he had brought a
quantity of cartridges containing powder
but no shot. An ingenious idea struck
him. He proposed to his comrade that
they shoot together at their game, which-
was ducks in hocks, and that they divide
the spoil equally. His uususpecting
partner asscnted to the proposal, and Mr..
Reed did not return with an empty game
bag The trick was such good one
that he could not keep the story to him.
self, and it finally came to the ears of his
friend, who was very indignant at the
deception that had been practiced on
him.
On another occasion, Mr.. Reeds CON
gregation in Denver started to attend
Sunday service as usual, but were
checked and surprised to find placard,
reading as follows, affixed to the closed
doors of the church: Gone duck hunt
ing. No service to-day. NJ. w. Reed. "

The California Prohibit,oni,ts.

A curious incident attaches to the Prohibi-
ton vote thrown in California. According to
the returns from the different sections OF the
State the bulk of the teetotal vote there came
from the Southern caunties which constitute
the great wne-growing region of California.
In Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Santa
Clara, which are all dotted with vineyards
and yield thousands of tons of grapes, the Pro-
hibitionists came GU. in force. In most of the
towns OF this beautiful region such thing as
liquor saloon is not tolerated, and wine
drinking is proclaimed vice to be Stunned.
Nevertheless, these good people continue to
plant vineyards, and 1t Is said that 100000
acres will be devoted to grape culture in that
State this winter. 1.i'lvr plI-
