The New York Times, in an article
on passenger travel on railways says:


Tt is quite clear, however, that
when our express trains travel at the
rate of hundred miles an hnur they
canDOt afford To step for passengers
except st stations very long distances
apart Already the postal trains pick
up and throw out mail bags at small
er stations without any pause in their
rapid flight, and locomotives supply
themselves with water by scOOping Il
from a trough while the trains to
which they are attached are IN mo-
ton. There would probably be
no impOssibility in picking up pas
sengers in the same way as mail-bags
are now caught. Two bags filed with
passengers-One bag, OF cour4e, being
exclusively for lSdies-night he hung
at either end OF station platform,
and caught by a projecting hook as
the train shot by. This method,
however, would have its Obvious in
cOnvenienees, and no wel!-dressed
lady would be willing t. BE- shaken no
in 4 bag with travelling apple-wOmen,
and shaken out again int distribut-
ing bin by irreverent passenger-sprt-
ers. And then, even il passengers
were picked up in this way, they
could not be comfortably tossed of at
way stations in the same bags in
which they We're originally put on
board. 4 mailbag thus uneeremO-
niously tossed out has curious way
of leaping up as soon As it strikes the
ground, aud Of chasing the train
in a series OF leaps and bounds
OF great vivacity. The spectacle
Of a bag full of elderly gem
tleman or stout ladies executing SINH
lar evOlutions would be extremely
amusing to the friends vino might be
waiting for them at the station, but
it Is doubtful Il the occupants Of the
hag woa'd be altogether satisfied.
The mailbag plan would clearly new
er become popular but it will not do
to assume that the problem Of taking
on board passengers while = train IS
in motion is an impossible one. 1t
may yet BE- solved in q safe ami pleas
ant way, and passengers may step on
board the fastest trains with the same
ease with which Mr.. Peter Cooper in
sists that they could step on board
the theoretical Travelling Sidewalk"
railway.

Neighbor, lend a helping hand
To that heavy-laden brother


Who for weakness scarce can stand;
What to thee with thy strong muscle
Seems light and easy load,
Is to him ponderous burden


Cumbering his pilgrim road.
Lift little lit a little!


Effort gives one added strength
That which staggers him when rising
Thou can hold at arms length.
Not his fault that he is feeble,


Not thy praise that thou art strong;
It is God makes lives to differ,


Some from wailing, some from song.
Lift little! lift a little


Many they who need thine aid;
Many living by the road side,


Meath mlsfortune's dreary shade.
Pass not by, like priest or Levite,


Needless of thy fellow-man;
But, with heart and arms extended,


Be the Good Samaritan.

Two painters were employed TO fresco the
walls Of a magnificent cathedral both stood
on a rude scaiiolding constructed for the
purpose, some eighty feet from the floor.
One of them was 50 intent upon his work
that he became absorbed, and in admiration
stood of from the picture, gazing at il with
delight Forgetting where he was, he
moved backward slowly, surveying critically
the work Of his pencil, until he had neared
the end Of the plank upon which he stood.
At this critical moment his companion
turned suddenly. and, almost frozen with
honor, heheld his imminent peril; another
instant and the enthusiast would be precipi-
tatod upon the pavement beneath if he
spoke To- him il was certain death-if he
held his peace death was equally sure. Sud
denly he regained his presence Of mind, and
Selling vet brush, flung it against the
wall, spattering the beautiful picture with
unsightly blotches Of coloring. The painter
flew forward, and turned upon his friend
with fierce imprecations but, startled at his
ghastly face, he listened to the recital Of
danger, looked suddenly over the dread space
below. aud with tears OF gratitude blessed
the hand that saved him. So we sometimes
get absorbed in looking upon the pictures Of
this world, and, in contemplating them, step
backward, unconscious Of our peril, when
the Almighty dashes out the beautiful i'm
ages, aud we spring forward to lament
their destruction-into the outstretched
arms Of mercy, and are saved.

GOVERNOR TlLDEN's message to the New
York Legislature last winter set forth his be-
lief that the adoption of the recent amend
ments to the National Constitution mark the
close of an era in our political history, and
for ever settle the question of slavery and all
issues growing out of it. The first resolu-
ton of the Minnesota Democratic platform
is almost verbatim copy of that observa-
ton. Commenting upon this, the Indiana
polls Journal thinks ''this shows that even
Bourbons may have new ideas drilled into
them through the medium of successive de-
feats; and there is ground for belief that in
another decade they may rise to a full appre-
citation of the march of ideas that has been
going on in this country during the past fif-
teen years.

The decision of Judge Wade, rendered


Tuesday, and which we give in full to-day,


in the case against Col. Macleod, must meet


the approval Of every one who has not be-
| come so entangled in the case heretofore as
to lose all sense Of propriety and fair dealing.


If any wrong, without justification, has been
done to Devcraux, it was not the act of Coz.
Macleod, surely. He acted under orders from
his government and upon sworn statements
of others. His government might have been
which any particular individual has been ar
rested may have been error or perjury; We
pass no judgment on this part Of the case.
But in all this COL Macleod is not involved,
SO far as we can learn. In most cases 1t IS
generally considered ample vindication to be
honorably discharged. There are eases when
prosecutions are clearly malicious, and then
such actions for false Imprisonment are justi-
fable But in this case we believe the action
against Macleod WAS not suggested by Dev-
craux, but was inspired by some bad advice,
or some battled rage that dcspaired Of reach
ing the real object.


There is probably no single disintercstcd
observer in this community or Territory but
diSapproves of such exhibitions Of petty
malice 1t seems as if some few. men were
trying to outriyal the inhospitable Coreans,
who seek to destroy every one so unfortunate
as to be shipwrecked on their coast. we
shall never countenance the deportation OF
American citizens, except on strong, clear
evidence Of some recognized crime, and III
compliance with law; but we shall give no
countenancc to that barbarous spirit that
despises all law--Christian, civil, or inter-
national-tllat stands in the way of gratifying
blind revenge striking at anything in sight.
The best cause in the world would be injured
by the course adopted in bringing this action
against Macleod, and there are none SO much
indebted to Judge Wade as the chief movers
in it, The Judge has relieved them from
further exhibition Of themselves, and put an
end to the disreputable business.

The present National Assembly Of France
seems ambitious to rival the famous Long
Parliament of England, which was elected in
1640 and nominally continued until 1853,
when it was forcibly dissolved by Cromwell.
because, with all its purgations, it was much
too independent for him.


The present National Assembly was elect
cd February 8, 1871, after the nation had been
so terribly beaten and dreadfully humiliated
by Prussia. But the Red Republican rule Of
the Paris Commune had also thoroughly
aroused the French nation against their
bloody excuses, and the Assembly chosen
was largely monarchical in its elements.
But for the whimsical stupidity of the Bour-
bon elements, there is no doubt that Mon
archy would have been readily voted by this
Assembly. The impossibility of uniting up
on any one claimant to the throne gave time
for the better Republican elements to consoll-
date and to largely increase their power as
the constantly recurring vacancies were filled
by special election. After a variety OF forced



cal and Imperial clements, the want OF sny
head or unity of purpose broke up these COM
binations, and of late there has seemed a
| steadily growing tendency towards the estab-
lishmcnt Of Conservative Republic. 1t be-
gan to be thought that scheme OF govern
| ment would be soon adopted and the disso]u-
ton of the present Assembly follow at once,
but the latest news shows that there is to be
another adjournment until November, and
and what may be their temper and purpose
then it is impossible to foreshadow. There
seems to be an attachment to life and disln
! clination to surrender power that is stronge,
than any other purpose yet disclosed, and i
may continue existence yet to outrival the
Long Parliament. If special elections art
allowed TO continue, even without dissolu
ton, it seems likely there will soon be rei
able majority in favor of the Republic.
