U23tf HOW IXCAME TU PASS. In a certain little town whose name would be of smiill moment to tho reader, among ho umtter what lofty mountains, there alighted from the northward- bound tr;tin, one pleasant September day, •A young laiiy, who proeeeucd forthwith to the prominent hotel of the place. Those who consulted the registry book after she had therein entered her name found written Miss ADodge, and a reso- lution WHS instantly formed to pav all due honor to the bearer of the mime. The arrival was deemed quite opportune, for the majority of the guests, having been stationary cany weeks as perman- ent summer boarders, were quite ready for a new diversion. The next, morning Miss Dodge was agreeably surprised at having her ac quaintunce sought by quite a number of ladies, and at realizing altogeiher an am'ount of attention which was unparal- leled in her exjjerience. She received an invitation to walk to an attractive spot with one group of ladies, another in- vited her to drive over to the lako> and yet a third made an appointment with j her to ascend the kill in time to viewthe sunset. All this was very flattering to Miss Dodge, nor could she avoid regarding it as extremely promising to business pros- pects. Appaiently the good ladies had been apprised of her mission, and were prepared to profit by it. Nevertheless, the comments made by her new acquaint- ances when she referred to business puz- zled her, and she was astonished to find them so conversant with her views of life. Several tiiiie she was on the point of in- quiring who had introdued her to their notice, but something always interfered. In the course of the day JIiss Dodge found time to call on Mr. Martin, the business man whose inducements had brought her to the place. To her infinite relief, sho learned that he was absent from home, and would not return for st'.v- ral days. It seemed indeed delightful that, before settling down to her confin- 11 g v/ork, she might conscientiously en- joy the bright holiday vouchsafed to her. During the evening the guests Were nearly all assembled in the pallor, and adies and gentlemen vied with euch jther in doing the stranger homage. Miss Dodge had always been considered au'iveabh;; iu the present genial atmos- phere she was becoming truly brilliant. She wan impelled to relate anecdotes and adventures ill a manner that astonished herself, nnd she found sundry crude opiu- ons ripening into definite form under tho deferential questioning to which she was subjected. The second day, like the first, contain- ed a series of pleasant surprises. In the morning a deputation of citizens called upon Miss Dodge to request her to attend a grand gala reception to be held in her honor at tho town hall. This was very harming, but entirely tho reverse of anything she had anticipated. Miss Dodge was twenty-five years of gi', and rather above the medium height of woman. She had exuberant masses of glossy brown hair, which she wore simply ooiled above her simpt-ly head, ami her large, lustrous, eyes were of that hnzel- tinted gray which is indicative of a de- cisive temperament. Her features were not actually handsome, yet they were top haracteiistiealiy defined to be ever stamped as homely ; and when illumined by the smile which was peculiarly its own, the face was very attractive. Her carriage was incomparable, and, more- over, she stood well, which the Countess Hahn-Hahn, in her Faustina, tells us few women can do. The reception was a success. Numer- ous prominent citizens harangued the new comer in words of kindly welcome, ud toe"ach little speech she ventured " Ah, my dear lady," was the suave re- ply, "the entire tendency of your la- bora proves the force of your last words. The women of the land have- cause to thank you for the common-sense view.- you have disseminated. ' Ivory mite is of araili lam aware but hitherto my litrid of action has been all that the fruit of my efforts can scarcely have been spread very widely through the land." " You are too modest—too modest. Why, it would be impossible to estimate the good you have done." ".'Jut how do you know anything about mey Mr. Martin has hitherto been my only acquaintance here, and with him—" "A town possessing the facilities of ours," interrupted the judge, chuckling with excessive amusement, while the wis- dom of anowl settled upon his counte- nance, " need scarcely to rely upon a Mr. Martin for information. We manage to keep up with the current literature of the '1 i.v, I ».-nuie 3 00." I donot doubt it, yet cannot con- Oeive what y«m thus learn about me.' '_' Truly that is 8 comical remark—you ubt excuse my saying so, Miss Dodge— a most comical r mark for a lady of your reputation to make." I do not understand you," she said, regarding him with u, puzzled «ir. "Why, simply, the author of your writ tings " My writings—my writings! Why, \v!i iv have you seen any of my letters '" ' I t would be rather absurd to intrude upon Miss DocSg'o's private oorrespond- encej when h L -r books ana magazine arti- ol< s have so large a circulation." "My books? My magazine articles'i Judge Alden, I never wrote a line for publication in my life," cried the aston- ish oil Tun little judge looked seriously >^i- fended and assumed rather a severe tone, as he replied: "Miss Abigail Dodge forgets that her disguise has long since been penetrated, and that our quiet community, as well as the groat world, recognizes her identify with Grail Hamilton." Gail Hamilton v I? Oh, Judge Al- den ! Trul}', this explanation of the mys- tery never entered my brain. What A upon appropriate reply. Througout the evening constant reierenco was made to a certain Judge Alden, who wasunfortu nately out of town, and whose abBcnce was deemed the one drawback to the evening enjoyment. His wife and daughter were present, arid they assured Miss Dodge that the judge would do himuelf the pleasure of calling as soon as he returned. Directly after breakfast next morning Judge Alden's card was brought toour friend, and in no little trepidation she betook herself to tho parlor to meet the important man. A most comical looking little individual, endowed with that sleek complacency and comfortahle rotundity indicative of luxuriant living, arose as sho entered, and sprang forward with ludicious alacrity to meet her. A3 his extended hand met hers, tho eye-glasses, so foppishly perched upon his nose, fell from their proud position, and his honor was forced to readjust them before un- burdening himself of the speech tremb- ling upon his lips. " Miss Dodge," he finally began, plac- ing one plump little hand upon his heart, while with tho other he softly pressed the lady's fingers, " it affords me infinite satisfaction to have the oppor- tunity of making your acquaintance. I have long been your most ardent admr- er, and I may safely assert that I first in- terested our townspeople in you." Here the little man assumed a modest expression, while Miss Dodge, as sho gently disengaged her hand and uioticn- ed her visitor to a seat, wondered hew in tho world he had come to t:mik of plead- ing her causo. "You. aro very kind, Judge Alden," slio rejoined. " Ifcfore coming hero, I school- ed myself to do battle with cold rebuff's, and instead, I met with universal kind- ness. Apart from individual satisfac- tion this is encouraging to a woman who has tho best interests of her sex at heart." shall I dor 1 What will the people think raef I sun nut Gail Hamilton ; my nai__ is not Abigail. I am timply Annie Dodge, and 1 came here to open a milli- nery and dressmaking establishment in connection with Mr. Martin's store. My rrci ption here has astonished me, but I at- tributed it to a desire to encourage rny industrial schemes." The judge seemed quite as much flus- tered during (his speech as did his pain- fully embarrassed companion, but he was not the man to permit circumstances long to eudanger his dignity. Closely ques turning Miss Dodge Upon the facts of her life, he was soon thoroughly conversant with all needful points. " My dear Miss Dodge," he then said, you talk well; arid if you will be guided by in.', you need have no difficulty in ex- tricating yourself from this trifling di- lemma." Hereupon he proposed that shn should consent to his calling another meeting at the town-hall, and that she should under- take to explain her position us she had done to him. Also, ho suggested that it •night be as well to let it be supposed that he and his family had known from the first who she was. Without some decisive step, all her v.'cll matured plans would be ruined, and therefore she yielded. The judge performed his part of the oompact, and after keeping her room all day, Miss Dodge stood that evening once more surrounded by an admiring assem- blage. There was something regal in tho girls appearance; her eyes sparkled with ,iu unwonted hie, her complexion was brilliant, and people wondered why they hud never before discovered how hand some sho was. Leaning against her criin- son covered desk, she gaze! calmly over the room until a hush had fallen over the audience, then she began, as follows: " My friends, I learn from J udgo Alden that I have been basking in the sunshine of favors accorded to me under a total misapprehension. This deeply mortifies me; and unaccustomed as 1 am to speak- ing in public, I cannot rest until I have explained my position to you. When you hear ii.ll, your generosity will, I trust, ex- onerate mo from any suspicion of coming ainong you under ialse pretenoes." An observer of physiognomy would have found abundant material for investi- gation in that assemblage when the speaker proclaimed that she was not a celebra id writer, but simply Annie Dodg?, an unknown module. Sornu tx- ohangi d unices of consternation and sur- pritse, 1 tilers endeavored to look uncon- cerned, as though they had all along been behind the still others, in whom a sense of the ludicrous was keenly devel- oped, Seemed heartily to enjoy the dis- eornfituro of their neighbors With one accord, he we ver, all paid breathless at- tention to the musical voice of tho uoble- louking woman before them. "From my earliest childhood," sho said, "I have yearned for independence. Do not understand that I was imbued by a quixotic desire to wrest from so-called tyrannical man certain vital concessions. 1 have never found man more tyran than woman, and I hold it for truth that, as society is at present fashioned, we wo- man have to a great extent in our own hands our weal and our woe. Evtry earnest woman who makes practical use \ of the enormous influence she has it in her power to exert, accomplishes more for the good of humanity than hundreds who blindly prate about vague rights and wrongs. Wherevei woman turns, work stares her in tho face ; and if she strives to attain firmness of purpose and noble superiority in the avenues alroady opened to her, new ones will present themselves when need " My father is ono of tho officers of a prominent insurance company in Phila- delphia. He possesses no pecuniary re- sources beyond his salary, and I am the oldest of his seven daughters. With their slender means, my parents wished their mode of life to appear on an equal foot- ing with that of their more prosperous neighbors, and this struggle to keep up appear inceg, which is the bano of many Philadelphia families, robbed both father and mother of all peace. As wo seven girls advanced into womanhood, our po- sition became undurable. I grew melan- cholic in blooding over it, and pictur- ing to myself how different our lot would have been had some of us been boys. We could havo then havo added something to the common stock, instead of passing our days in paltry manoeuvres to present to the world a hollow show at the cost of real comfort; we could have lightened the burdens of our parents, as wo grew older, instead of increasing them. The desire to bring about a change gained firm possession of me. But what could I do? Educated at a fashionable school, my poor brain was ladvn with p. chaotic mass of facts, none of which were suffi- ciently well digested to bo of any prac- tical advantage to sne, "All tho bonnets worn in onr family had been made by me from tho time I was quite a small girl. My ma1 were apt to be scant, yet I generally succeeded in producing a presentable ar- ticle. One day, in making acall, I found a young friend bewildered over her first effort at bonnet manufacture. Sly long- ing to handif her profusion of rich ma- terials was sogreat that while «ve were talking I took the work from her. In i MI an hour I had fashioned a most stylish little bonnet. 3Iy frinnd was in taey of delight, and told mo that if 1 would only go into tha millinery busi- ness she would get ma all the custom I needed. At once I confided to hor iny desire for profitable occupation, and the result was that she gave several orders from her own fomily, with promises of others from her friends, provided lily parents would permit me to accept them. " I went homo in high glee, which was only dampened by a dread of tho oppo- sition I must encounter. When I first broached the subject the dear souls wore shocked, they would not objeot to my teaching, btit my father said tli.it so long as ho was able to keep a roof over our heads he would not bo disgraced by hav- ing a daughter of his earn her livelihood by menial exertions. ' How would it he,' said I, ' if I could write a book '< ' ' That would quite a different matter,' was the reply. ' Or what if I could play the organ, or sing in church r 1 ' That, too, I was told would bo considered unexcep- tionable. 'Well, then,' I petulantly ex- claimed, 'if the Lord hud endowed me ivith aptitude for teaching, or imagina- tion for authorship, or talent for music, painting or sculpture, and these gift h:id beeu fostered by education, it would >t) respectable to convert them into money, but it would be degradation to end my present; sham life in any other way. r parents) let mo prove the falsity of this theory, let me have my way, and I promise you that I will win the esteem, 'hrough my dignified earnestness, of all hose whose good opinion is worth having. Besides, I will make money enough to ducate those of your daughters who are uore gifted than I for such callings as you now deem respectable. Those of UE who should be so fortunate as to marry well will make much better wives for :iot squandering our youth in idle friv- olity. " Before long I was happy in the con- viction that I had converted my parents. 1 havo always found that when preju- dice blinds truly gcod people, there is little difficulty in forcing the scales to FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

Our neighbors were con- siderably horrified when they found that father's daughter had become a matter . e, thus forcing respect. It did my heart good to find how many girls, situated as I had been, profited by my example, and set to work. I derived such wholesome ben- t fades worn an, but I assumed, as a rut of course, the dignity of my choice, efit from my exertions that I longed to go forth on a crusade against idleness, and I was truly happy when I succeeded in earning money enough to execute my plans for the girls. My sister Eita de- veloped talent for music snd a glorious voice, and has long since repaid me for all that I expended upon her musical ed- ucation. She has a salary of $800 a year for singing^n a church choir, and derives a nice income besides fre m teaching music.

Judge Alden forgot his eye-glasses, as he sprang forward to shake tho'speaker by the hand. Others followed his example, and in a few minutes plain Annie Dodge was sur- rounded by as flattering attention!! as tad been accorded to the supposed Gail Hamilton. The demonstration come from the hearts of the people, for they were filled with respect for the earnest, unas- suming woman. Ono and all gave prom- ises, of encouragement and support, and Miss Dodgo went back to the tiQtel in a very different frame of mind from that in which sho had sallied forth. Three years havo elapsed sinco tho oc- currence of the events just recorded, and those who formerly knew tho town whero my story is located would scarcely recog- nize it now. Miss Dodge's wnterpnse pros- pere 1 finely. Ladies who had always sup- plied their wardrobes from New York or Boston, after ono trial ceased to desire anything superior to what they could ob- tain at home. Moreover, they extended to Annie Dodgo tho hand of friendly friendship, and many a young girl in straitened circumstance?, encouraged by the social standing ono working-woman had acquired, determined to emulate her industry Henceforth there was a uni- versal tendency to seek honorable em- ployment. A variety of industrial estab- lishments sprang up, until business at- tained ;•. truly prosperous condition. Schools began to improve, now that wealth centered at home, and opportuni- ties for the highest culture were afforded, leading to the discovery of the existence of much talent. To day idleness is scarco- ly known within tho town limits. Rich and poor aliko find work, the former in planning home enterprise, tbo latter in executing it, while studentsof both class- es are kept busy. All this is the result of ono woman's efforts. Is it not better than fruitless grumbling?Tu-J>,ii/. A Norristown lady had her k3nd burn- ed recently by an air valve of hor range falling on it.

ROME, Feb. 10, 1873. FRIEND POXD: In a previous letter soma account of a portion of tho great Vatican galleries was given, and though tho tale is Still moro than half untold enough was said to show that in the department of Sculp- ture noplace can compare with Rome, as in tho sister art of Painting Florence and her galleries stand pre-eminent. It seems little singular that whilo at home there is so little publio or private encour- agement to professional artists as com- pared to the seeming high respect in which Art and its masters are held in these older nations, thoro are, notwith- standing this fact, more artists hore en- gaged in their studies who como from America than from England or anyjother single nationality, Italy excepted. This was also true, as before stated, in For- rmce. And it is gratifying to believe that- the American artists here tako a rank as high as tho best from other lands in their skiilful execution and fertility of design. The great rebellion was in a certain sense highly profitable to American sculptors; in conscrj-.ior!co of the many orders re- ceived by them from the various munici- pal and state authorities and public and private associations for statues and mon- uments of exceptional magnitude and a corresponding more liberal compensation. Mr. Rhinehart, in hi3 recent visit to Bal- timore, taking with him tho proceeds of one order, the statue of the late Chief- Justice Taney, returns charged with the execution os at least one one other itu portant commission, a statue of Lord Baltimore, tho founder of Maryland Some one of several contestants (among whom ia our fellow townsman Randolph Rogers) will oi course havo the pleasure of filling tho proposal of Congress for a monument to Admiral Farragut, and thera 13 scarcely any one of the number heere who has not dono something which grew directly out of some incident of the war. The appearance of tho respective stud- ios of the above-owned artists exhibits, in tho many Casts arranged about and filling their shelves, evidence of a wide field in which they have been successful- ly laboring. Thelatest production of an ideal kind from the chisel of Mr. Rogers is the " Somnambula," a very fine figure gracefully draped, bearing in her hand an Egyptian lamp, whose antique pat- tern and origin seem very fitting to be consciously in tho night and darkness.— But beautiful as, is the countenance, and charming as is tho statue in its entirety, ,t is doubtful whether the Nydia may not still claim tho palm wero another Paris to preside over the beauties of his studio. Yet any private collection might well bo proud if either the "Young In* dian Hunter, 1 ' tho " Fisher Boy," tho "Skater," the " Ruth," or any ono of a half dozen other " things of beauty" from his chisel, was in its niches—to gay nothing about tho exquisite "Psyche'' bust which he has lovingly modeled after his second daughter. The models of var- ou8 public monuments already complet- ed, afid of that nearly finished for Wor- ester, Mass.—all of which are composed of many parts and figures—and the nu- merous busts of public men and individ* uals which are arrayed about,fillingsev- eral rooms, look lika devotion to an art ho loves, and constitute quite a gallery without further additions. A visit to the studio of Mr. Rhinehart is nearly equally gratifying, an.i gives similar evidence of successful indus- try and artistic taste. " Latona and the Twins" is his last fair creation from the illimitable ideal world, aided, however, in tlu3 instance, by the ancient myth. Other graceful figures aro posed on pedestals and otherwise in the somewhat miscellaneous way of all these proper workshops of Art, but none the less pleasing for that. This artist seems to have been particularly popular for his portrait busts, which fill so many shelves in various nooks and corners that it was a task of somo minutes diligent search to find that particular pieco of plaster which when found full plainly bore tho unmistakable Websterian fea- tures of our good friend and townsman, the Hon. U. W. R. It was somowhat be- yond reach or wo should havo taken pleasure in despoiling it of sorao of the dust which had accumulated during the ten years it has been standing thi ra. Just now that tho death of Lord Lyt- ton has revived the memory of his in- tensely fascinating works attention is eagerly directed t> everything associated with their well-known characters, and among these tho papers havo quite re- cently spoken favorably of a group just finished at tho studio of Mr. Cardwoll, of Nydia attempting to distinguish tho beautiful features of the more favored lone by passing her hand over tho face of tho latter—ono of the most charming incidents in that charming story of the buried city. Before leaving this- subject mention should bo mada of the fact that Mr. Rogers has very recently boon elect- ed to a Professorship in the Academy of S. Luca—being the first American artist upon whom this highly complimentary honor has been conferred. Tho position does not necessarily imply any active du- ties or emolumonts, it being an associa- tion named after St. Luke, tho patron of Painting, founded in 15'JJ, for tho en- couragement of art and termed a School of Art, of which tho distinguished paint- er Zuecaro was the first director. Wo paid a visit to tho rooms of the Academy a few days ago, and woro high-lyjgratifled by the sight of some very excellent pic- tures by some of tho first masters. Of especial value is tho picture of St. Luke painting the Madonna, a woik of Ra- phael's, though not entirely dono by his hand. It has a double value from the in- troduction of tho portrait of the great artist himself, represented as standing by looking on, and is highly prized by the Academy. Perhaps the most interesting object there is a copy of Raphael's origi- nal first sketch of his groat picture of tho Transfiguration (tho sketch itself is lost). It does tho entire grouping precisely as seen in tho completed work, except that tho figures are all nude. For threo weeks or moro the papers havo been much occupied with notices, favorable and unfavorable, of tho late Emperor Napoleon m., and hero in Italy the sentiments of the peoplo aro some- what mixed, though there seems to bo a strong tendency to regard him a3 having aided in the regeneration and freedom of Italy, and in many places movements hava been made to commemorato his vir- tues by monuments, but not, as yet, in Rome. On the day of tlio funeral obse- quies at Chiselhurst funeral services were also held here, with all the more appro priateness because thero are several mem- bers of the Bonaparte family residing here, including a Cardinal. Tho church selected was the S. Maria in Via Lata— well adapted from its interior construc- tion for the arrangement of the decora- tions or drapery of heavy black velvet With a wide fringe of bullion, which hung in massive folds continued around tho entire nave from near the ceiling, drooping to within about five feet of the floor, then rising again and again de- scending, till the circuit was Completed. The effect, combined with therichlydec- orated ceiling, was exceedingly rich.— Centrally on tho nave stood tho sombre catafalqttn, covered with its velvet pall and surrounded by a large cushion of crimson and gold, upon which layan im- perial crown of gilt (or gold). Every inch of space was crowded, fur the chiirctl is not largo and strangers were fully represented. High mass waa chanted by the Bishop of Lntri, arrayed in very rich canonical robos. Tho music consisted in part of anode composed by Signor Terftiani, conductor of the grand opera, who led the choir in person, the principal vocalists from the choir of St. Pe.ter's assisting—and was very fine throughout. The several members of tho I! .naparte family were present, nnd the King, Prince Humbert, and the Princess wero each duly present, by proxy. Of the Roitiiin aristocracy thero was it large sprinkling, but not particularly notice, ablo, of course, on art occasion where display would have been highly out of place. As tho closing service of the oc- casion, the Bishop, xireceded by tho ush- ers and followed by tho train of priests catafalque, a»id to tho lowWailing of tho organ and subdued chant of tho assist- ants performed the final ceremony of the Asporges, after which tho crowd began the difncult process of dispersion.— Throughout tho services there was res- pectful attention, nothing moro—we saw no involuntary tears shed over tho sud- den exit of tho " Liberator of Italy," as his admirers are pleased to call him. In a previous letter wo stopped somo account of the many interesting objects along tire Appi m Way at the catacombs of St. Calixtus; but thess objicts are still more numerous as we proceed fur- ther, and the mind is fairly overwhelmed as one ruin after another comes constant- ly into view, rill telling in unmistakable language of the former grandeur and immensity of ancient Rome. From the time St. Calixtus is pxssod wo find both sides of tho old road, which is still the one in use, lined with tomhs-of such pe- culiar construction that in more or le's perfection they havo successfully battled against the efforts of time and decay fo- their utter exdnction. Iu addition to this tho great quantity of fragments of decorative architecture lying along the way. which was exhumed when tho Tia Ap; ii was exc-.vat-id to its ancient level, indicates tho elaborate character of many of these old tombs in their external fin- ish. This would naturally ho f ho case, stretching as they did for miles along tho border of this most important highway, forming the most conspicuous objects up- on tho level plain, and containing the last resting places of many of the rich patricians of that day. A short distance beyond tho catacombs is tho church of St. Sebastian, ono of tho seven churches on the side road which is oalled the " Via Setti Chioae," to which pilgrims have resQrted for many centu- ries. It is creeled above tho entrance to to cSlacombs in which it was believe 1 many Christian martyrs were interred. They a;e of limited extent and uninter esting as compared, to those of St. Calix- tus, but aro the only catacombs which have always continued open and accessi- ble through all tho changes of fifteen hundred years. In the Piazza opposite a commemorative marble column has been erected to tho " uucon-quorod martyr, Se- bastiano." Just beyond the church is a low depression in the surface of the country, forming a narrow valley, in which, adjoining tho north side of tho ViaAppia, aro tho extonsivo ruins of tho circus of Maxentius, the great rival of Constantino, constructed irv 31-1. Many of the brick walls aro yet remaining, and the general plan may yet be traced. Its length has been found tobo 1521 feet and its width 2G9 feet, tho lateral walls being still nearly twenty foot, high, running obliquely from tho road. About 18^000 spectators could occupy scats arranged in tentiers around tho circus,—only the foundations of theso can now be seen A circular structure, .vith which a more m-odorn ha3 been combined, standing near the road, is supposed to h avo been erected to a son of Maxontius, who died at an early age. the existenco of this immenao structure at a distance of nea - ly two miles from the Porta Latina and Porta Appi-i in the Aurelian wall is an- other indication of tho amazing magni- tude upon which the old Romans pro- jected everything, and at the saino timo of tho demands of this great peoplo in that day for such extraordinary conven- iences for their enjoyment. It is also probable that a dense population lived outside tho walls, extending, perhaps, quite to this vicinity. Some writers even claim that tho walls were onco fifty miles in circumference, being less than fitteen torn pies and to divert every available pillar to some purpose foreign to its orig- inal place or use. To answer this end many landmarks of ancient times have been wholly overturned and not a vestipe r.'lining to corroborate the record, while in other cases we sec structures of a con- parativcly recent date iu whose massiva waits wo recognize tho use of materials from the Colosseum or elsewhere. But still further and more often we find the ruins sought for, but so completely trans- formed by somo inharmonious modern adaptation that it requires far more im- agination to strip away those Hew trap- pings and reconstruct the classic pileof other days than it docs to stand by. the three only surviving noblo pillars, of Ves- pasian and re-arrango ii; tatcy all that is wanting to complete that magnificent original. We look, for instance, as we wander along the Forum, upon the facade of the temple of Faustina—there it stands, i's columns and pediment, its frieze and in- scription, almost perfect, even its lateral walls and richly sculptured entablature are still remaining; but notwithstanding so much is left tlio temple ia gone, and in its st«!ad is its church of S. Lorenzo iu Mirandas with all its gilt and tawdry - «*» JLO K 1 * 11 auu tawdry Ascending the opposite side of the val- j appurtenances. A few_steps _ beyond we V. on its t'lirlViof *>l/^i «-.*.! ley, on its further slope and close upon the highway stands that "stern, round tower of other days," which, erected about 60 B. C, still stands " firm as a for- tress," after all the vicissitudes of two thousand year3. Not that it has escaped unharmed, for its great injuries aro but too evident; yet its appearance is so far well-preserved that approaching it from direction of the city it looks as fair and bright as if scarce a tithe of the long in- ' had passed over it. It is built up- on a square base of solid pepperine blocks of immense size, and upon this stands the circular superstructure of masonry, the walls of whbh are thirty-five feet I solid, around a central chamber about fif- ty feet in diameter. This chamber reaches down to th« lower strata of the basement. The over-arching, conical top, however, has fallen in and partially filled the lower portion. The extorior is encased with larger blocks of finely Iressed travertine, having the frieze and cornice neatly sculptured, the former be- ing adorned with a continuous wreath gracefully festooned around the entire structure, the heads of bulls being repre- sented above each festoon. Tiio present battlemented finish was substituted for the plain balustrade in the 13th century, when tho Gactanis erected their exten- sive palace and stronghold adjoining, the walls of which extend for fifty rods on both sides of the road and embrace in their compass the ruins of a good-sized church. Upon the side facing the street is immured a large marble slab, bearing the simple inscription " Cctcilim, Q. Cretici flH MetttUa CrantL" This splendid mon- ument of the "love or pride"of ths rich Crassus is referred to in some of 1he most felicitous Hues of "Childe Harold." We come now into the more open cam- pagna country, with an almost unob- structed view on either side quite to the mountains. On the left the picturesque arches of tho Marcian and Claudian aqueducts stretching for miles across the wide plain, and hero and there breaking entirely through and in places most beautifully garliuded with ivy; on the right an almost vordureless plain with not a house or a living thing visible for several miles, and most vividly remind- ing us of the prairie regions of the west in the very early spring; while before us are tho Alban hills, with Frascati and other villages parched 0:1their sides, and quito plainly in view, their highest sum- mit, Monte Cavo, the ancient Mons Al- banus, 3,200 feat above the sea, whero the temple of Jupiter Latiaris stood, but whose ruins have been converted into monastery within tho last century. The Appian Way has from this point been thoroughly cleared of its superimposed debris, and with its curbstone border and often the very flagging that covered it in tha mil.dial days; is visible as it extends onwaid, straight as an arrow, asoe&ding . ; .,3lUU-J/L_lU^U10>Ui.bHU._.: miles Some care has been taken to pre- vent the further dilapidation of the tombs, which for three or four miles are so closely built as to appoar like a long village, over which the night of ages has hung its slumberous silence. Reliefs, in- scriptions, busts, broken facades and orn- amental fragments of all kinds keep the attention and curiosity incessantly awake, and as wo reach Jioin:i Vecohia, u small "city 01 tho dead" whoso extensive ruins are supposed to have onco belonged to a spacious villa of tho Quinctilia family, wo feel quite prepared to bolieve all that tho poets or the eloquent Gibbon have said of tho splendor and glory of an- cient Rome. This open Campagna ia the favorite resort of the young Roman no- bility, whose mettle is kept in proper tone by weekly hunts here, master Rey- nard being defliued ii foeman worthy of their steel. A lava stream once ejected from the Alban mountains extended as far as the tomb of Cecilia Metella, and irement of the road seoms to have bc'cn of this mat. rial. There are few ex- cursions about this venerable city that offer so many attractions for a day ; in- deed it we were to begin at tho Palatine hill a week might well be consumed in th9 examination of one object after an- other, directly upon this famous road. The Palatine itself, Baths of Carraoalla, Scipio's tomb, that of tho freedman of Ootaviti, Aix-h oi Drusus, Porta Sebas- tiano, the churcues, small temples, cata- combs, circus of Maxentius, tumb of Ce- cilia Met, lla, the stronghold of tho Gaet- ani adjoining, the hundreds of Mausolea along the way, Roma Vecchki and the endless museum of marbles everywhere in view, to say nothing of the aqueducts and the sploudid scenery, are all in one continuous lino not exceeding about five miles in length. Happily for the future of visitors to this city there is somo pros- poet of a stable or at least more stable government, in which the aims of au- thority aro made consistent with the en- lighteuinent of the people, 'and instead of being the football of France and sur- rounding nations Italy may como to be- respected. Anything which tends to theso desirable results will favor the pre- servation of her great monuments of the past; directly, because of their evident value ia the interests of science nnd his- tory, as '.veil as groat attiaction to the stranger and artist, and indirectly by the prevention of those constant fluctuations and dissensions which have caused the greyest injury by dis*acting attention from the great value of these remains. The great quantity of fragments yet lying loose about tho ground and still in tboM wails and dilapidated structure^ which are roofless and shapeless, nearly, and therefore of novalue as habitations or tor ornament is incredible, and wero these permitted to be utilized as building 1 il or cleared away as unsightly in- cambrancis they wr.nid doubtless be eon- vuitid into an immense equivalent in money. This strong temptation of a poverty-stricken state.as well as tho fre- quent commotions and wars which have raged within this devoted city, hive in the pant iLuic moro than tho "ravages ot tune to tear down* and destroy. Even fco- Jay there is not a-ttoue yard or marble shop in Rome which is not largely filled witu materials riom theso old remains —especially of marble. But the princi- pal buildings and most extensive ruins are now controlled by the government and aro carefully supervisees, and just now the buildings which havo for hnn- dreds of years abutted upon that noble survivor of the past, the Pantheon, com- pletely hiding all the rear neaily one- half ot tho rotunda portion, aro beino- removedy the principality paying ove'r $30,000 for them, and in a short time tho splendid edifice will stand out in all its proper glory to bo tho continued adniira tion of future centuries as it has ever been through the long vist.i of two thousand years in the nothing that s:> much disturbs the nerves Biisitive admirer of aim art that aro everywhere to Lie traced amid the older parts of tho city as this ,. insane- dosira to utilize these venerable see the ancient portal of porphyry pillar?, the door of massive bronze, and portions of the circular walls of another temple, probably of the Penates ; but here, too, a church to tho saints Uosma e Damiano has boon incorporated with it, giving the more recent such predominance over the ancient edifice that it is a temple no lon- ger, except by courtesy. Nor is the case helped at all by being shown the original pillars immured in the walls or made tho boundary oi the church nave. Near the bank of the Tiber is the church of 8. liana Egiziaoa, and when we look at its peculiar architecture we ascertain that all ihe Ionic oilumns of the open Por- tico of the temple of Portuna Virilis, to- gether with the frieze ornamented with, reliefs of heads of oxen and wreaths of flowers have beea subsidized, andthat to form its external walls the spaces be- tween the pillars have been filled, leav- ing as the result a spoiled temple and an ill-looking church. These are a few only of tho instances iu which ancient re- mains that would have been exceedingly interesting if preserved as ruins have lost much of their interest and all of their picturesquo beauty by their transforma- tion. In a few cases the changes have been comparativsly so slight that the mind. overlooks the modern innovations iii the wondrons spell of a hoary Anti^jrJity which broods over the whole. Such is that pride of the past, the Pantheon, in which the six small altars that constitute tho " S. Maria ad Martyres" of Boniface IV. are of such intrinsic littleness as com- pared to the grand circumference around and the splendid over-arching dome.— buch is that noblest ruin of the world, the Colcsseum, in wnose wide arena the feV square feet occupied by the half doz- en chapels are positively nothing, physic* ally, in tho midst of those towering wall?. And e?en the small temple of Vesta, or (as some call it) of Hercules, in its beau- tiful exterior still shows the temple only, an 1 nothing of the church S. Maria del Sole. Indeed, to attempt its conversion into a church at all reminds one of tho purtvriunt " of Horace, the interior being only twenty six feet in circumfer- ence. In these instances, if the formal consecration by the Pope to religio'fiS purposes has tended to their better pre- servation, th3 world may well acknowl- edge its indebtedness for the nominal al- teration. But where the transfotmation has quite swallowed up the ancient char- acteristics one cannot avoid a feeling of regret. Tho small teiuplo just referred to is one of the most perfect and beautiful of the buildings left to U3 from thS jrfi- cient city, and though sosmall comes most nearly to our ideal temple. It stands upon the branch of olel Tiber, in a rather luw plaeo.is circular andsurround- reat caro so that the joints are scarcely noticeable. It stands upon a foundation of largo blocks of stone about six ffiet above tho surface, the lower course of which is elressed with a deep groove to lead off the water. The temple was ap- proached by a flight of step3 surround- ing it. The circumference outside the columns is only 156 feet. The present roof is modern and not consonant with tho edifice it covers, when the anoient and tasteful open roof srmnounted it it must have been quite a charming feature in the scenery, especially from tho river. Yours ever, JOHN II. WHEELEE. "Why Men Don't Marry." The Rev. Mr. Morgan, of Boston," re- cently gave a lecture in New York, upon the question of " Why Men Don't Marry,' for which he gave eight reasons, as follows: First, because they could not get the woman whom they wanted—they looked too high for beauty, talent and. perfection which was beyond their reach ; second, because they were cowards—they dared not " face the music," and quaked at the lightningflash.38.of a fair maiden's eye ; third, bee inse they were skeptical— the'y had 1:0 faith irr w.oman's constancy, and believed her Weak and frail; fourth, because they were selfish and stingy, and dill not think they could support wives ; tilth, because women of genius were net always good housewives (the reverend gentleman advised his male auditors not to marry geniuses 1 ); sixth, because of our young men's own extravagance—many of our young men spent their money foolishly and of course could not afford to marry ; seventh, because they wero afraid of divorce, which was made by the laws to easy— free love was poisoning the sys- tem of marriage ; eighth, because of wc- man's extravagance—it costs as much to launch a woman on the sea ot- wedded^ life in these times as it would tofitout a small schooner. A3 to sails, cordage,- pennants and streamers, the difference, he opined, was in favor of the schooner. As to her outfit, she was to be freighted with bonnets, Veils, necklaces, ear rings,- pins, chains, bracelets, rings, rufflee r Lows, bands, buttons, loops, feilds, pip- ingr;, pleats, silks, muslins, laces, fans, boots, slippers, parasols, collars, cuff?, nets, chignon?, waterfalls, rats, mice, braid 1 :, frizzles, switches, puff?, curb, panier. touruure, Grecian bend. [Laugh- ter] What a cargo was this for such a vessel. Few are tho underwriters who would run tho "risk" in such a- craft. And few were tho men who would marry this Doily Vurden walking advertise- ment. AIYife's Influence After Death. The question whether fin Englishman may marry thasister of a deceased wife, which has been eliscussed by British courts and clergy for years, is now varied by ore which seems more ridiculous to Ameri- cans. A widower recently offered hiru- si If as a candidate for :v vacant fellow- ship at Jesus College, Oxford, but a ma- jority of the resident fellows objected on the ground that ho was ineligible, being a "married man." Probably no other 01- ganization, in which celibacy is a con- ditict), can compare with this for strict- !, A man may renounce his wife and the world, and become a monk, and theie will certainly ba no objection to receiving him it' his wife has been called hence, and ho is at liberty to tako new vows and as- sume new obligations; but the dictum of Ihi* jolly bachelor club seems to be that onco married always married, and admis- sion to their exclusivo ranks is thereby forfeited. The primary objection to resi- dent fellows within college walls is that their wives would be in tho way, and would distract the loyalty of their hus- bands from the corporate body of which they wero members ; but why a matt whose id should be excluded ia not apparent, unlesi tho dons hold tha* ;i worn in's influence li^es after hor body d to its native dust. Tho young ivul of i'embroke has the matter to dr-i cide, and his sympathies will doubtlef 3 rango 011 the side of married mea,

HOW IX CAME TU PASS.

In a certain little town whose namewould be of smiill moment to tho reader,among ho umtter what lofty mountains,there alighted from the northward-bound tr;tin, one pleasant September day,•A young laiiy, who proeeeucd forthwithto the prominent hotel of the place.Those who consulted the registry bookafter she had therein entered her namefound written Miss A Dodge, and a reso-lution WHS instantly formed to pav alldue honor to the bearer of the mime.The arrival was deemed quite opportune,for the majority of the guests, havingbeen stationary cany weeks as perman-ent summer boarders, were quite readyfor a new diversion.

The next, morning Miss Dodge wasagreeably surprised at having her acquaintunce sought by quite a number ofladies, and at realizing altogeiher anam'ount of attention which was unparal-leled in her exjjerience. She received aninvitation to walk to an attractive spotwith one group of ladies, another in-vited her to drive over to the lako> andyet a third made an appointment with jher to ascend the kill in time to view thesunset.

All this was very flattering to MissDodge, nor could she avoid regarding itas extremely promising to business pros-pects. Appaiently the good ladies hadbeen apprised of her mission, and wereprepared to profit by it. Nevertheless,the comments made by her new acquaint-ances when she referred to business puz-zled her, and she was astonished to findthem so conversant with her views of life.Several tiiiie she was on the point of in-quiring who had introdued her to theirnotice, but something always interfered.

In the course of the day JIiss Dodgefound time to call on Mr. Martin, thebusiness man whose inducements hadbrought her to the place. To her infiniterelief, sho learned that he was absentfrom home, and would not return for st'.v-ral days. It seemed indeed delightful

that, before settling down to her confin-11 g v/ork, she might conscientiously en-

joy the bright holiday vouchsafed to her.During the evening the guests Were

nearly all assembled in the pallor, andadies and gentlemen vied with euchjther in doing the stranger homage.Miss Dodge had always been consideredau'iveabh;; iu the present genial atmos-phere she was becoming truly brilliant.She wan impelled to relate anecdotes andadventures ill a manner that astonishedherself, nnd she found sundry crude opiu-ons ripening into definite form under

tho deferential questioning to which shewas subjected.

The second day, like the first, contain-ed a series of pleasant surprises. In themorning a deputation of citizens calledupon Miss Dodge to request her to attenda grand gala reception to be held in herhonor at tho town hall. This was veryharming, but entirely tho reverse of

anything she had anticipated.Miss Dodge was twenty-five years of

gi', and rather above the medium heightof woman. She had exuberant masses ofglossy brown hair, which she wore simplyooiled above her simpt-ly head, ami herlarge, lustrous, eyes were of that hnzel-tinted gray which is indicative of a de-cisive temperament. Her features werenot actually handsome, yet they were topharacteiistiealiy defined to be ever

stamped as homely ; and when illuminedby the smile which was peculiarly itsown, the face was very attractive. Hercarriage was incomparable, and, more-over, she stood well, which the CountessHahn-Hahn, in her Faustina, tells us fewwomen can do.

The reception was a success. Numer-ous prominent citizens harangued thenew comer in words of kindly welcome,

ud to e"ach little speech she ventured

" Ah, my dear lady," was the suave re-ply, "the entire tendency of your la-bora proves the force of your last words.The women of the land have- cause tothank you for the common-sense view.-you have disseminated. '

Ivory mite is of araili lam awarebut hitherto my litrid of action has been

all that the fruit of my efforts canscarcely have been spread very widelythrough the land."

" You are too modest—too modest.Why, it would be impossible to estimatethe good you have done."

".'Jut how do you know anythingabout mey Mr. Martin has hitherto beenmy only acquaintance here, and withhim—"

"A town possessing the facilities ofours," interrupted the judge, chucklingwith excessive amusement, while the wis-dom of an owl settled upon his counte-nance, " need scarcely to rely upon a Mr.Martin for information. We manage tokeep up with the current literature ofthe '1 i.v, I ».-nuie 3 00."

I do not doubt it, yet cannot con-Oeive what y«m thus learn about me.'

'_' Truly that is 8 comical remark—youubt excuse my saying so, Miss Dodge—

a most comical r mark for a lady of yourreputation to make."

I do not understand you," she said,regarding him with u, puzzled «ir.

"Why, simply, the author of your writtings "

My writings—my writings! Why,\v!i iv have you seen any of my letters '"

' I t would be rather absurd to intrudeupon Miss DocSg'o's private oorrespond-encej when hL-r books ana magazine arti-ol< s have so large a circulation."

"My books? My magazine articles'iJudge Alden, I never wrote a line forpublication in my life," cried the aston-ish oil

Tun little judge looked seriously >^i-fended and assumed rather a severe tone,as he replied:

"Miss Abigail Dodge forgets that herdisguise has long since been penetrated,and that our quiet community, as well asthe groat world, recognizes her identifywith Grail Hamilton."

Gail Hamilton v I? Oh, Judge Al-den ! Trul}', this explanation of the mys-tery never entered my brain. What

A

upon appropriate reply. Througout theevening constant reierenco was made toa certain Judge Alden, who wasunfortunately out of town, and whose abBcncewas deemed the one drawback to theevening enjoyment. His wife anddaughter were present, arid they assuredMiss Dodge that the judge would dohimuelf the pleasure of calling as soon ashe returned.

Directly after breakfast next morningJudge Alden's card was brought to ourfriend, and in no little trepidation shebetook herself to tho parlor to meet theimportant man. A most comical lookinglittle individual, endowed with that sleekcomplacency and comfortahle rotundityindicative of luxuriant living, arose assho entered, and sprang forward withludicious alacrity to meet her. A3 hisextended hand met hers, tho eye-glasses,so foppishly perched upon his nose, fellfrom their proud position, and his honorwas forced to readjust them before un-burdening himself of the speech tremb-ling upon his lips.

" Miss Dodge," he finally began, plac-ing one plump little hand upon hisheart, while with tho other he softlypressed the lady's fingers, " it affords meinfinite satisfaction to have the oppor-tunity of making your acquaintance. Ihave long been your most ardent adm r-er, and I may safely assert that I first in-terested our townspeople in you."

Here the little man assumed a modestexpression, while Miss Dodge, as shogently disengaged her hand and uioticn-ed her visitor to a seat, wondered hew intho world he had come to t:mik of plead-ing her causo.

"You. aro very kind, Judge Alden," sliorejoined. " Ifcfore coming hero, I school-ed myself to do battle with cold rebuff's,and instead, I met with universal kind-ness. Apart from individual satisfac-tion this is encouraging to a woman whohas tho best interests of her sex at heart."

shall I dor1 What will the people thinkraef I sun nut Gail Hamilton ; my nai__is not Abigail. I am timply AnnieDodge, and 1 came here to open a milli-nery and dressmaking establishment inconnection with Mr. Martin's store. Myrrci ption here has astonished me, but I at-tributed it to a desire to encourage rnyindustrial schemes."

The judge seemed quite as much flus-tered during (his speech as did his pain-fully embarrassed companion, but he wasnot the man to permit circumstances longto eudanger his dignity. Closely questurning Miss Dodge Upon the facts of herlife, he was soon thoroughly conversantwith all needful points.

" My dear Miss Dodge," he then said,you talk well; arid if you will be guidedby in.', you need have no difficulty in ex-tricating yourself from this trifling di-lemma."

Hereupon he proposed that shn shouldconsent to his calling another meeting atthe town-hall, and that she should under-take to explain her position us she haddone to him. Also, ho suggested that it•night be as well to let it be supposed thathe and his family had known from thefirst who she was. Without some decisivestep, all her v.'cll matured plans would beruined, and therefore she yielded.

The judge performed his part of theoompact, and after keeping her room allday, Miss Dodge stood that evening oncemore surrounded by an admiring assem-blage. There was something regal in thogirls appearance; her eyes sparkled with,iu unwonted hie, her complexion wasbrilliant, and people wondered why theyhud never before discovered how handsome sho was. Leaning against her criin-son covered desk, she gaze! calmly overthe room until a hush had fallen over theaudience, then she began, as follows:

" My friends, I learn from J udgo Aldenthat I have been basking in the sunshineof favors accorded to me under a totalmisapprehension. This deeply mortifiesme; and unaccustomed as 1 am to speak-ing in public, I cannot rest until I haveexplained my position to you. When youhear ii.ll, your generosity will, I trust, ex-onerate mo from any suspicion of comingainong you under ialse pretenoes."

An observer of physiognomy wouldhave found abundant material for investi-gation in that assemblage when thespeaker proclaimed that she was not acelebra id writer, but simply AnnieDodg?, an unknown module. Sornu tx-ohangi d unices of consternation and sur-pritse, 1 tilers endeavored to look uncon-cerned, as though they had all along beenbehind the still others, in whom asense of the ludicrous was keenly devel-oped, Seemed heartily to enjoy the dis-eornfituro of their neighbors With oneaccord, he we ver, all paid breathless at-tention to the musical voice of tho uoble-louking woman before them.

"From my earliest childhood," shosaid, "I have yearned for independence.Do not understand that I was imbued bya quixotic desire to wrest from so-calledtyrannical man certain vital concessions.1 have never found man more tyranthan woman, and I hold it for truth that,as society is at present fashioned, we wo-man have to a great extent in our ownhands our weal and our woe.

As wo sevengirls advanced into womanhood, our po-sition became undurable.

Wecould havo then havo added somethingto the common stock, instead of passingour days in paltry manoeuvres to presentto the world a hollow show at the cost ofreal comfort; we could have lightenedthe burdens of our parents, as wo grewolder, instead of increasing them. Thedesire to bring about a change gainedfirm possession of me. But what couldI do?

As the last words worn uttered, loudapplause rang through the hall. JudgeAlden forgot his eye-glasses, as he sprangforward to shake tho'speaker by the hand.Others followed his example, and in afew minutes plain Annie Dodge was sur-rounded by as flattering attention!! astad been accorded to the supposed Gail

Hamilton. The demonstration come fromthe hearts of the people, for they werefilled with respect for the earnest, unas-suming woman.

Ladies who had always sup-plied their wardrobes from New York orBoston, after ono trial ceased to desireanything superior to what they could ob-tain at home. Moreover, they extendedto Annie Dodgo tho hand of friendlyfriendship, and many a young girl instraitened circumstance?, encouraged bythe social standing ono working-womanhad acquired, determined to emulate herindustry Henceforth there was a uni-versal tendency to seek honorable em-ployment. A variety of industrial estab-lishments sprang up, until business at-tained ;•. truly prosperous condition.Schools began to improve, now thatwealth centered at home, and opportuni-ties for the highest culture were afforded,leading to the discovery of the existenceof much talent.

ROME, Feb. 10, 1873.

FRIEND POXD:

In a previous letter soma account of aportion of tho great Vatican gallerieswas given, and though tho tale is Stillmoro than half untold enough was saidto show that in the department of Sculp-ture no place can compare with Rome, asin tho sister art of Painting Florence andher galleries stand pre-eminent. It seems

little singular that whilo at homethere is so little publio or private encour-agement to professional artists as com-pared to the seeming high respect inwhich Art and its masters are held inthese older nations, thoro are, notwith-standing this fact, more artists hore en-gaged in their studies who como fromAmerica than from England or anyjothersingle nationality, Italy excepted. Thiswas also true, as before stated, in For-rmce. And it is gratifying to believe that-the American artists here tako a rank ashigh as tho best from other lands in theirskiilful execution and fertility of design.The great rebellion was in a certain sensehighly profitable to American sculptors;in conscrj-.ior!co of the many orders re-ceived by them from the various munici-pal and state authorities and public andprivate associations for statues and mon-uments of exceptional magnitude and acorresponding more liberal compensation.Mr. Rhinehart, in hi3 recent visit to Bal-timore, taking with him tho proceeds ofone order, the statue of the late Chief-Justice Taney, returns charged with theexecution os at least one one other ituportant commission, a statue of LordBaltimore, tho founder of Maryland —Some one of several contestants (amongwhom ia our fellow townsman RandolphRogers) will oi course havo the pleasureof filling tho proposal of Congress for amonument to Admiral Farragut, andthera 13 scarcely any one of the numberheere who has not dono something whichgrew directly out of some incident of thewar.

The appearance of tho respective stud-ios of the above-owned artists exhibits,in tho many Casts arranged about andfilling their shelves, evidence of a widefield in which they have been successful-ly laboring. The latest production of anideal kind from the chisel of Mr. Rogersis the " Somnambula," a very fine figuregracefully draped, bearing in her handan Egyptian lamp, whose antique pat-tern and origin seem very fitting to be

consciously in tho night and darkness.—But beautiful as, is the countenance, andcharming as is tho statue in its entirety,,t is doubtful whether the Nydia maynot still claim tho palm wero anotherParis to preside over the beauties of hisstudio. Yet any private collection mightwell bo proud if either the "Young In*dian Hunter,1' tho " Fisher Boy," tho"Skater," the " Ruth," or any ono of ahalf dozen other " things of beauty"from his chisel, was in its niches—to gaynothing about tho exquisite "Psyche''bust which he has lovingly modeled afterhis second daughter. The models of var-ou8 public monuments already complet-

ed, afid of that nearly finished for Wor-ester, Mass.—all of which are composed

of many parts and figures—and the nu-merous busts of public men and individ*uals which are arrayed about, filling sev-eral rooms, look lika devotion to an artho loves, and constitute quite a gallerywithout further additions.

A visit to the studio of Mr. Rhinehartis nearly equally gratifying, an.i givessimilar evidence of successful indus-try and artistic taste. " Latonaand the Twins" is his last faircreation from the illimitable ideal world,aided, however, in tlu3 instance, by theancient myth. Other graceful figuresaro posed on pedestals and otherwise inthe somewhat miscellaneous way of allthese proper workshops of Art, but nonethe less pleasing for that. This artistseems to have been particularly popularfor his portrait busts, which fill so manyshelves in various nooks and corners thatit was a task of somo minutes diligentsearch to find that particular pieco ofplaster which when found full plainlybore tho unmistakable Websterian fea-tures of our good friend and townsman,the Hon. U. W. R. It was somowhat be-yond reach or wo should havo takenpleasure in despoiling it of sorao of thedust which had accumulated during theten years it has been standing thi ra.

Just now that tho death of Lord Lyt-ton has revived the memory of his in-tensely fascinating works attention iseagerly directed t> everything associatedwith their well-known characters, andamong these tho papers havo quite re-cently spoken favorably of a group justfinished at tho studio of Mr. Cardwoll, ofNydia attempting to distinguish thobeautiful features of the more favoredlone by passing her hand over tho faceof tho latter—ono of the most charmingincidents in that charming story of theburied city. Before leaving this- subjectmention should bo mada of the fact thatMr. Rogers has very recently boon elect-ed to a Professorship in the Academy ofS. Luca—being the first American artistupon whom this highly complimentaryhonor has been conferred. Tho positiondoes not necessarily imply any active du-ties or emolumonts, it being an associa-tion named after St. Luke, tho patron ofPainting, founded in 15'JJ, for tho en-couragement of art and termed a Schoolof Art, of which tho distinguished paint-er Zuecaro was the first director. Wopaid a visit to tho rooms of the Academya few days ago, and woro high-lyjgratifledby the sight of some very excellent pic-tures by some of tho first masters. Ofespecial value is tho picture of St. Lukepainting the Madonna, a woik of Ra-phael's, though not entirely dono by his

hand. It has a double value from the in-troduction of tho portrait of the greatartist himself, represented as standing bylooking on, and is highly prized by theAcademy. Perhaps the most interestingobject there is a copy of Raphael's origi-nal first sketch of his groat picture of thoTransfiguration (tho sketch itself is lost).It does tho entire grouping precisely asseen in tho completed work, except thattho figures are all nude.

For threo weeks or moro the papershavo been much occupied with notices,favorable and unfavorable, of tho lateEmperor Napoleon m., and hero in Italythe sentiments of the peoplo aro some-what mixed, though there seems to bo astrong tendency to regard him a3 havingaided in the regeneration and freedom ofItaly, and in many places movementshava been made to commemorato his vir-tues by monuments, but not, as yet, inRome. On the day of tlio funeral obse-quies at Chiselhurst funeral services werealso held here, with all the more appropriateness because thero are several mem-bers of the Bonaparte family residinghere, including a Cardinal. Tho churchselected was the S. Maria in Via Lata—well adapted from its interior construc-tion for the arrangement of the decora-tions or drapery of heavy black velvetWith a wide fringe of bullion, whichhung in massive folds continued aroundtho entire nave from near the ceiling,drooping to within about five feet of thefloor, then rising again and again de-scending, till the circuit was Completed.The effect, combined with the richly dec-orated ceiling, was exceedingly rich.—Centrally on tho nave stood tho sombrecatafalqttn, covered with its velvet palland surrounded by a large cushion ofcrimson and gold, upon which lay an im-perial crown of gilt (or gold). Everyinch of space was crowded, fur thechiirctl is not largo and strangers werefully represented. High mass waachanted by the Bishop of Lntri, arrayedin very rich canonical robos. Tho musicconsisted in part of an ode composed bySignor Terftiani, conductor of the grandopera, who led the choir in person, theprincipal vocalists from the choir of St.Pe.ter's assisting—and was very finethroughout. The several members of thoI! .naparte family were present, nnd theKing, Prince Humbert, and the Princesswero each duly present, by proxy. Of theRoitiiin aristocracy thero was it largesprinkling, but not particularly notice,ablo, of course, on art occasion wheredisplay would have been highly out ofplace. As tho closing service of the oc-casion, the Bishop, xireceded by tho ush-ers and followed by tho train of priests

catafalque, a»id to tho low Wailing of thoorgan and subdued chant of tho assist-ants performed the final ceremony of theAsporges, after which tho crowd beganthe difncult process of dispersion.—Throughout tho services there was res-pectful attention, nothing moro—we sawno involuntary tears shed over tho sud-den exit of tho " Liberator of Italy," ashis admirers are pleased to call him.

In a previous letter wo stopped somoaccount of the many interesting objectsalong tire Appi m Way at the catacombsof St. Calixtus; but thess objicts arestill more numerous as we proceed fur-ther, and the mind is fairly overwhelmedas one ruin after another comes constant-ly into view, rill telling in unmistakablelanguage of the former grandeur andimmensity of ancient Rome. From thetime St. Calixtus is pxssod wo find bothsides of tho old road, which is still theone in use, lined with tomhs-of such pe-culiar construction that in more or le'sperfection they havo successfully battledagainst the efforts of time and decay fo-their utter exdnction. Iu addition tothis tho great quantity of fragments ofdecorative architecture lying along theway. which was exhumed when tho TiaAp; ii was exc-.vat-id to its ancient level,indicates tho elaborate character of manyof these old tombs in their external fin-ish. This would naturally ho f ho case,stretching as they did for miles along thoborder of this most important highway,forming the most conspicuous objects up-on tho level plain, and containing thelast resting places of many of the richpatricians of that day.

A short distance beyond tho catacombsis tho church of St. Sebastian, ono of thoseven churches on the side road which isoalled the " Via Setti Chioae," to whichpilgrims have resQrted for many centu-ries. It is creeled above tho entrance toto cSlacombs in which it was believe 1many Christian martyrs were interred.They a;e of limited extent and uninteresting as compared, to those of St. Calix-tus, but aro the only catacombs whichhave always continued open and accessi-ble through all tho changes of fifteenhundred years. In the Piazza opposite acommemorative marble column has beenerected to tho " uucon-quorod martyr, Se-bastiano." Just beyond the church is alow depression in the surface of thecountry, forming a narrow valley, inwhich, adjoining tho north side of thoViaAppia, aro tho extonsivo ruins of thocircus of Maxentius, the great rival ofConstantino, constructed irv 31-1. Manyof the brick walls aro yet remaining, andthe general plan may yet be traced. Itslength has been found to bo 1521 feet andits width 2G9 feet, tho lateral walls beingstill nearly twenty foot, high, runningobliquely from tho road. About 18 000spectators could occupy scats arrangedin ten tiers around tho circus,—only thefoundations of theso can now be seen —A circular structure, .vith which a morem-odorn ha3 been combined, standingnear the road, is supposed to h avo beenerected to a son of Maxontius, who diedat an early age. the existenco of thisimmenao structure at a distance of nea -ly two miles from the Porta Latina andPorta Appi-i in the Aurelian wall is an-other indication of tho amazing magni-tude upon which the old Romans pro-jected everything, and at the saino timo

of tho demands of this great peoplo inthat day for such extraordinary conven-iences for their enjoyment. It is alsoprobable that a dense population livedoutside tho walls, extending, perhaps,quite to this vicinity. Some writers evenclaim that tho walls were onco fifty milesin circumference, being less than fitteen

the highway stands that "stern, roundtower of other days," which, erectedabout 60 B. C, still stands " firm as a for-tress," after all the vicissitudes of twothousand year3. Not that it has escapedunharmed, for its great injuries aro buttoo evident; yet its appearance is so farwell-preserved that approaching it fromdirection of the city it looks as fair andbright as if scarce a tithe of the long in-

' had passed over it. It is built up-on a square base of solid pepperine blocksof immense size, and upon this stands thecircular superstructure of masonry, thewalls of whbh are thirty-five feet Isolid, around a central chamber about fif-ty feet in diameter. This chamberreaches down to th« lower strata of thebasement. The over-arching, conicaltop, however, has fallen in and partiallyfilled the lower portion. The extorior isencased with larger blocks of finelyIressed travertine, having the frieze andcornice neatly sculptured, the former be-ing adorned with a continuous wreathgracefully festooned around the entirestructure, the heads of bulls being repre-sented above each festoon. Tiio presentbattlemented finish was substituted forthe plain balustrade in the 13th century,when tho Gactanis erected their exten-sive palace and stronghold adjoining, thewalls of which extend for fifty rods onboth sides of the road and embrace intheir compass the ruins of a good-sizedchurch. Upon the side facing the streetis immured a large marble slab, bearingthe simple inscription " Cctcilim, Q. CreticiflH MetttUa CrantL" This splendid mon-ument of the "love or pride"of ths richCrassus is referred to in some of 1hemost felicitous Hues of "Childe Harold."

Reliefs, in-scriptions, busts, broken facades and orn-amental fragments of all kinds keep theattention and curiosity incessantly awake,and as wo reach Jioin:i Vecohia, u small"city 01 tho dead" whoso extensive ruinsare supposed to have onco belonged to aspacious villa of tho Quinctilia family,wo feel quite prepared to bolieve all thattho poets or the eloquent Gibbon havesaid of tho splendor and glory of an-cient Rome. This open Campagna ia thefavorite resort of the young Roman no-bility, whose mettle is kept in propertone by weekly hunts here, master Rey-nard being defliued ii foeman worthy oftheir steel. A lava stream once ejectedfrom the Alban mountains extended asfar as the tomb of Cecilia Metella, and

irement of the road seoms to havebc'cn of this mat. rial. There are few ex-cursions about this venerable city thatoffer so many attractions for a day ; in-deed it we were to begin at tho Palatinehill a week might well be consumed inth9 examination of one object after an-other, directly upon this famous road.

The Palatine itself, Baths of Carraoalla,Scipio's tomb, that of tho freedman ofOotaviti, Aix-h oi Drusus, Porta Sebas-tiano, the churcues, small temples, cata-combs, circus of Maxentius, tumb of Ce-cilia Met, lla, the stronghold of tho Gaet-ani adjoining, the hundreds of Mausoleaalong the way, Roma Vecchki and theendless museum of marbles everywherein view, to say nothing of the aqueductsand the sploudid scenery, are all in onecontinuous lino not exceeding about fivemiles in length. Happily for the futureof visitors to this city there is somo pros-poet of a stable or at least more stablegovernment, in which the aims of au-thority aro made consistent with the en-lighteuinent of the people, 'and insteadof being the football of France and sur-rounding nations Italy may como to be-respected. Anything which tends totheso desirable results will favor the pre-servation of her great monuments of thepast; directly, because of their evidentvalue ia the interests of science nnd his-tory, as '.veil as groat attiaction to thestranger and artist, and indirectly by theprevention of those constant fluctuationsand dissensions which have caused thegreyest injury by dis*acting attentionfrom the great value of these remains.

The great quantity of fragments yetlying loose about tho ground and still intboM wails and dilapidated structure^which are roofless and shapeless, nearly,and therefore of no value as habitationsor tor ornament is incredible, and werothese permitted to be utilized as building

1 il or cleared away as unsightly in-cambrancis they wr.nid doubtless be eon-vuitid into an immense equivalent inmoney. This strong temptation of apoverty-stricken state.as well as tho fre-quent commotions and wars which haveraged within this devoted city, hive inthe pant iLuic moro than tho "ravages ottune to tear down* and destroy. Even fco-Jay there is not a-ttoue yard or marbleshop in Rome which is not largely filledwitu materials riom theso old remains—especially of marble. But the princi-pal buildings and most extensive ruinsare now controlled by the governmentand aro carefully supervisees, and justnow the buildings which havo for hnn-dreds of years abutted upon that noblesurvivor of the past, the Pantheon, com-pletely hiding all the rear neaily one-half ot tho rotunda portion, aro beino-removedy the principality paying ove'r$30,000 for them, and in a short time thosplendid edifice will stand out in all itsproper glory to bo tho continued adniiration of future centuries as it has everbeen through the long vist.i of twothousand years in thenothing that s:> much disturbs the nerves

see the ancient portal of porphyry pillar?,the door of massive bronze, and portionsof the circular walls of another temple,probably of the Penates ; but here, too,a church to tho saints Uosma e Damianohas boon incorporated with it, giving themore recent such predominance over theancient edifice that it is a temple no lon-ger, except by courtesy. Nor is the casehelped at all by being shown the originalpillars immured in the walls or made thoboundary oi the church nave. Near thebank of the Tiber is the church of 8.l iana Egiziaoa, and when we look at itspeculiar architecture we ascertain thatall ihe Ionic oilumns of the open Por-tico of the temple of Portuna Virilis, to-gether with the frieze ornamented with,reliefs of heads of oxen and wreaths offlowers have beea subsidized, and that toform its external walls the spaces be-tween the pillars have been filled, leav-ing as the result a spoiled temple and anill-looking church. These are a few onlyof tho instances iu which ancient re-mains that would have been exceedinglyinteresting if preserved as ruins havelost much of their interest and all of theirpicturesquo beauty by their transforma-tion.

In a few cases the changes have beencomparativsly so slight that the mind.overlooks the modern innovations iii thewondrons spell of a hoary Anti^jrJitywhich broods over the whole. Such isthat pride of the past, the Pantheon, inwhich the six small altars that constitutetho " S. Maria ad Martyres" of BonifaceIV. are of such intrinsic littleness as com-pared to the grand circumference aroundand the splendid over-arching dome.—buch is that noblest ruin of the world,the Colcsseum, in wnose wide arena thefeV square feet occupied by the half doz-en chapels are positively nothing, physic*ally, in tho midst of those towering wall?.And e?en the small temple of Vesta, or(as some call it) of Hercules, in its beau-tiful exterior still shows the temple only,an 1 nothing of the church S. Maria delSole. Indeed, to attempt its conversioninto a church at all reminds one of tho

purtvriunt " of Horace, the interiorbeing only twenty six feet in circumfer-ence. In these instances, if the formalconsecration by the Pope to religio'fiSpurposes has tended to their better pre-servation, th3 world may well acknowl-edge its indebtedness for the nominal al-teration. But where the transfotmationhas quite swallowed up the ancient char-acteristics one cannot avoid a feeling ofregret. Tho small teiuplo just referred tois one of the most perfect and beautifulof the buildings left to U3 from thS jrfi-cient city, and though so small comesmost nearly to our ideal temple. I tstands upon the branch of olel Tiber, in arather luw plaeo.is circular andsurround-

reat caro so that the joints are scarcelynoticeable. It stands upon a foundationof largo blocks of stone about six ffietabove tho surface, the lower course ofwhich is elressed with a deep groove tolead off the water. The temple was ap-proached by a flight of step3 surround-ing it. The circumference outside thecolumns is only 156 feet. The presentroof is modern and not consonant withtho edifice it covers, when the anoientand tasteful open roof srmnounted it itmust have been quite a charming featurein the scenery, especially from tho river.

"Why Men Don't Marry."The Rev. Mr. Morgan, of Boston," re-

Homeopathy ami the UniversityIn the ooluinns of tho Detroit IHiily

Post of April 4th w is a. i article on therig-tits 01 the homeopaths to the Univer-si'y, in which tho writer says, "an effortis beinjj made to prejnrtiofl tho friends oftho University against homeopathy." If<n demonstrate that homeopathy cannot.be tttthgbt in that institution without thetotul instruction of the mgdiaal depart-Rmut is prejudicial to homeopathy, thenthe charge is trao,—otherwise it is not;and that thjg is true, no man familiarwuh tho facts can doubt. Suppose youshould put a chair of Spiritualism, Mor-in mi^m, or Atheism into the theologicalschool at Albion, or any other theologicalinstitution in the country. If Senatorsand Representatives cannot seo that sucha course would destroy for usefulness thenoblest institution in our land tho peo-ple can, and will act accordingly. Butsupposes the present medical departmentto remain as it i«, what would be thosense in paying six professors to teach thescience of medicine as the experience oftwo thousand years has developed it, andthen after it had been eo taught to em-ploy and pay out of the peoples' moneytwo other professors to tell the class thatall they hadJearned was wrong and allbotkt This.is-a specimen of the logic ofthe advocates of homoopathy, in and outof the Legislature, on the subjoot ofhomeopathy in the University.

The writer says, " an attempt was madeto make tho Legislature believe that sec-tarianism had not found its way into theUniversity," and says it was unsuccessful.Does tho writer object to Pathy beingtiuglit in tho University? If so, thenhomeopathy cannot be taught there, forthere is nothing of it but Pathy. If it iswrong to teaoh one Jfathy th,en it iadoubling the wrong to teach two Pathies.Is"ow 11 the present medical departmentshould bo, discontinued on the chargo o]teaching I'athy, then homeopathy couldnot take its place—as they hope to do—b.ecausa then the medical department o\the University would stand convicted oft&tching the narrowest kind of Pathy, andnothing else. But, si;', the facts are theUniversity does not teach any exclusivedogmas, but the science of inodieine asthe experience of the ablest men in theworld has Ijvjlopad it. And if that ex-perience had been favorable to homeopa-thy then, homeopathy would hava beentaught aa the soieuco of medicine in theUniversity. Perhaps that is " too thin."And a Toronto theological aohool is in-stanced as a similar case. " In thisschool," says the writer, " nono but Epis-copalian students can graduate." Now,sir, this is " too thin," for homeopathicand eclectic students have graduated withevery class in the University for manyyears; and on tho day the legislativecommittee- was* ai Ann Arbor the regentssigned the diploma of a homeopathicstuila'.it who studied within a stone's castfrom where I now write.. Send yourToronto University back to Canada andtry again.

And. the writer saye, " i t is believedthat; the homeopaths are friends of theUniversity." This statement tallies bad-ly with the course taken by that class inthe Houso on the passage of the latehomeopathic bill. That bill was forcedthrough the House before the committeeof investigation had made their report, orthe testimony of the professors, and other•witnesses, could be published, or theviews of the regents on the subject couldbe laid before the House. Sir, those pro-fessors and regents are old and truefrunds of this the noblest institution inour Write. Ann the friends of homeopa-thy in the House refused to let theirstatements plead for the life and'honor ofthe institution u::der their charge.

Now, sir, one friend of the Universitywill not gag another friend of tho Uni-versity when matters of vital importanceare pending. But homeopaths did thusgag friends of the University; thereforetli^y aro no friends of the University, andyour belief in their friendship is not wellfounded.

Tho writer says, "homeopaths haverights that B' ould je respected." N*ow,sir, the rights 01 Homeopaths havo alwaysHie rights of every other class ef medicalstudents. Homeopathic, eclectic, and theso-called allopathic all fare alike therethey are taught the science of medicine,and no questions are asked of their pe-culiar views of Pathies, and whon theycatft pass the required examination theyact* fjpan*e4 theii degrees. They aretaagbt in everything svtvo Pathy, andthat in tohut troubles homeopathy. Pathy isuott-i- therefore horfteopathy is not/.'•</,/-»" a tiling no longer to be en-dured," I snppose.-

Again,.says the writer, "• ever sinae thoUniversity bat> beea in existence- thohomeopaths have S«cn. taxed,." etc.-, etc.'• The people have too much regard forthe rights of the tax-payers to continuetho evil," etc , etc. This is the argumenton which all the speakers and writersmainly rest their casi-, anil we will briefly(xaniine its bearings on the question.Sir,if homeopathy must be taught be-cause hoiseopatlusfcs arc taxed then hy-dropathy, electropathy, uroscopy, andeclecticism must be taught, for they arenil taxed alike—and if Palhy instead ofscience is to be taught then allopathynnd antipathy must be tntight for theypay taxes likewise. If this reasoning isto be reduced to practice no man can botaxed unless the money is spent to teachi)is peculiar whims or dogmas. Shall woftop taxing Utah because wo do nottaaeh ^ormonism ? or teach Spiritualismbi*causo we tax Spiritualists ? Put yourlogic iij-operafion, und see if " the peoplehave too ranch regard for the rights ofthe tux-payers to continuo tho evil," etc.Let us look at the facts in the case.From J, M. Toner's statistics, compiled4*m data in tho Internal Kcvcnue officenO Wasini^ton, prepared of, rpcpi^st ofthe American Medical Association, wehavo in the United States 50.W0 physi-cians. Of this number only 2,!)jj arehomeopaths, 2,857 are eclectic?, whilethere are 89.-219 regulars and 137 hydro-paths—the balance, 4,8.'jo, are classed asmiscellaneous. The difference betweenthe homeopaths and ecfcefcio3 is only 98,and the eclectics have more eollej^es andmore standard works than the homeopathsin this country. The hydropaths are sus-taining more water cures, whero patientslire treated, than there are homeopathichospitals. With the above facts beforeus can any Senator or Representative tellwhy homeopathy should bo taught at theexpense of tho public, while hydropathyand eclecticism are not so taught.

T3ut it is claimed that a large class ofth'o$ people want homeopathy taught atthe expense of the State. Now it is fairto presume that the people are fairly rep-resented by the physicians they employ.It will bo seen that of the whole numberof physicians in this United States but a6iuall fraction—3 50th—are homeopaths.Then only 3-50tl s of the \ ooplo wanthomoopathy taught at the expense of thepublic. Not a very largo clasa of'thepeople, after all !

Homeopathy was taught in Europethree-fourths of a century ago, and hasbeen urging its claims for recognitionever since; yet not cne of tho govern-ments of the Old World has ever recog-nized it as a science.. The celebratedAndrei, of Paris, years since admittedRome of the most noted homeopaths intohis wards to try Ihe efficacy of theirtreatment, and, after a fair trial, Ivo re-ports to-the Academy of Medicine thatin Tto CRAG had the least benefit resultedfrom their treatment. The Russian gov-ernment, after testing the system for along time, have prohibited the practicein the -empire To such an extent ishomeopathy a failure ia tho land of itsbirth that in Kngland and Ireland, in18.j:j, with a population of 30,000,000, and30,000 physicians, there were only 2<M>homeopaths—only 1 in 150. In Biiropethn testimony of medical men is agniusthomeopathy 149 to 1, and in tho UnitedStates 47 to 3—and all of this after twogenerations of medical men have comeapoo the stage of action, and boon edu-e*ted since the doctrines of homeopathyhave claimed the attention of medicalmen. Yet wot one of the great lights in.

the profession have ever in the least sym-pathized with its teaohings. No otherState in tho Union, or nation in Uwholo wido world has over recognizedhomeopathy in any possiblo manner.Our Legislature 1 at made a precedent inopposition to the decision of tho civilizedworld, and attempted to icQulato homeo-pathy a »oienoa, und provided for toach-ing tho absurdity at the public expense.Not only have tho Legislature reversalthe verdict of the civilized world, butthey have misrepresented forty seven fif-tieths of tho people. They have ropre-sented 2,955 medical men and misrepre-sented 47,045 medical inen in the UnitedStates by their legislation. It is to behoped that tho courts will pass upon thejurisdiction of the Legislature ovor theUniversity. If they do not the peoplemust seo to it that this legislative tinker-ing with tho University in the interest ofhftmeopathy be stopped, and the govern-ment of tho University left to the pe >-pies'agents under tho provisions of theconstitution of tho State, the Board ofllegents.

On the after-noon of that day a grand concert will bogiven for the »peeial enjoyment of the 30,-000 children attending our pnblio schoolsThe admission to this concert will be buttwenty-five cents. Friday evening agrand opening ball will be given at thePacific. This will be under the directionof fifty managers, made up of represen-tatives from this and other cities, NewYork and Boston, St Louis and Cincin-nati each having six. The dining hall,which is 130x60 feet, will bo devoted tothe use of the dancers. Over 2,000 invi-tations will be issued, which will bo sentto tho more prominent personages of thisand other tow»s and cities.

On Saturday morning- the Park Com-missioners will essort our more promi-nent guests to Lincoln Park. Steam-boat excursions on the lake will be animportant feature of this day's program-me, the Goodrich lino having agreed tofurnish, several of their best boats for theoccasion. Tko proprietors of the Pacific•will enterterfn th» &ov<srnoirs Tisiti.Bg usas the guests of the city.

Tho railway lines leading into the eitywill issue excursion tickets at reducedrates, so that people residing in townsand cities, hundreds of miles distent maytake pirt in the festivities. Tho whole af-fair, as relates to the concerts especially,will bo under the management of Messrs^complete success of the same,

The Canada Southern.Owing to the severity of tho winter

the work of ballasting the Canada South-ern Railway was intermittent, and thobackwardness of spring h*M also delayedoperations. Within, a week bask a largeforce of men have been put to work, andthere are now engaged thirty nine loco-motives and four hundred flat cars bal-lastiog and otherwise putting the road-bed in a state of completeness. Stationhouees are being built along the line,, thetelegraph line is partly up, ami all t bebridges in Canada are ready. Tue re-quisite number of freight cars have beensrdercd and a number of them delivered.The- company sro also having 7nado passenger cars, and' have now 'fifty-six onhand in readiness far the opening of theroad, which is expeeted to take placo onthe 1st of July.

The eompany will bniM a station atGrosse Isle, and have begun the work oferecting the necessary buildings. Thebridge between Grosse Isle and StoneyIsland is oompleted. The ferry-sJips uponboth the Canada, and American shoreswill be ready "for tho new boat (the Trans-fer), an account of the laanch of whichwas given yesterday. Tho bridge be-tween Grosse Isle and Trenton is com-pleted, with the exception of tho draw.Upon this as large a forse of iflen as canbe employed is at work and- tho centerTjier and substructure arc ready. Be-tween Detroit and Trenton tke contracthas been let and quite a force of* men areat work. The bridgo over the Boors* iscompleted, and preparations have begunon the ono oyer the River Rougo. &naccount of some reluctance on thopart of certain gentlemen of Ecorr<jto having tho Road pass through their

rounds, tho track of the Detroit branchof the Chicago, ifc Canada Southern hasbeen made on a portion of the roadwayof the Lake Shore & Michigan Southernline. The raad will terminate at theGrand Trunk Jua&tian, thus coming intodirect connection wiili the Michigan sys-;em of Railroads.

The line from Trenton to Toledo is ina forward state, the ironing being nearlyompli'ted. All of this portion of the

work and the line through Canada will->e opened by July 1st.

Oil the line of the Chicago & CanadaSouthern, projected from tho DetroitRiver to Chieago,. work is being quiterapidly prosecuted, f Thirty miles of thisRoad—from Blispfield, in Lenaweo coun-ty, to Payette, Ohio, being quite a linkin tho whole line of two hundred andsixty-six miles—have been completed.Upon this section trains are regularlyrunning.

The St. Clair or Mooretown branch isn a forward condition, and it is intendedo havo it ready for traffic about the time:he main line is completed.—Ddroit FreePress.

LANGUAGES In Hie PUBLIC VCHOO! SPreliminary to a few remarks upon

question which seems to be vexing eduoptional circles in different portions c:the State—the right to tench any fioreigilanguage, modern or ancient, living odead, in the public schools of tWs State—wo copy tho following paragraphs froithe proceedings of a recent session of thDtitroit Board of Education :

The Inspector from the Third Ward morethat 910,000 I"1 appropriated i'orthe introductioiof German into the public schools.

I'rc>idont Bftckus said that ne had called tinattention of tho City Counselor to the- longuagor si-,-|,km I ot' article t'2, viz.; " The Logislahir,h; 11, within Bra yean iVom the adoption of thicoi sitution, provide for and establish a syBtaiof pii nary schools, whereby a school shall 1Mkept, without charge for tuition, at least tliremouths in oach your, and Sll instruction in SUclsclioola whull be conducted in the- l\n</lish lanquaije," and that ho had still under advisement tinqnost'oti whether money could be constitutionally appropriated for the introduction of Germanin ihe public schools.

ITxtddr these considerations, as the resolutioTwas of doubtful constitutionality, tho chair declined to entertain the motion unless under theinstructions of tho Board, and it was withdrawn.

Our first remark is that if tho constitutional provision quoted was designocto prohibit tho teaching of anything buEnglish—that is any language besidesthe English language—in tho publischools, the prohibition applies only to thoprimary tchooh and not to tho high schoolsof tho State. But it does not make eventhis limited prohibition, and by no pro-per construction of language can it betortured to so mean. The object of therequirement—not prohibition—that " alinstruction in such (free of tuition ancprimary) schools shall be conducted inthe English language," was to guarcagainst tho exclusion of tho English lan-guage from the schools to bo establish.eein districts largely or exclusively attend-ed by scholars of German, Dutch or otherforeign-born parentage That is, to pro-vide that in all the schools of tho gradenamed, spelling, reading, arithmeticgrammar, or whatever studies pursnedshall be taught in English instead ofin German, Dutch, French, etc.

Greek and Latin are taught in thoUniversity and colleges of the State, ancin many of the high schools; but wotake it that neither of the University norany other school can it be. said that tho" instruction" in the langttngcr; Wanted i;

conducted" in Greek and Latin. Th<same remark will apply to GermanFrench, Italian, Spanish, etc. The inttruction is amiuetod in the English Ianquags, and the student is taught to translate Latin, Groek, French, German, etc.nto English and vice verm. The lan-

uage which is tl?« lesskm of tho homr—sa;the- German, that being the- one referrecto in our opening qirotstion—is a specifistudy tho same as woal-d be a recitationin history or chemistry -and the instmction is conducted in English.

The sole and only design of the provision in question was to make it certainthat all the children in the State—awhatever nationality—-should learn tlteEnglish language and pursue- tho ordi-nary studies of ihe primary schools in thEnglish language ; that tho teachers othe primary schools sletrald understaniEnglish, read it, writo it, aad give their

sense construction, and to say that imeant to prohibit tho teaching of German or any other language as a specifiistudy 19 to apply a rulo of constructionwhich we ventiwo to predict no ccurt wilever adopt.

radical journals d'onftti eea-se todenounce those members of Congres?—•both Senators and Representatives—whovoted for, or by absence or silence aidedtho passage of, tho back-pay galary-in-ereaso-or-sttal bill, or who voting againstthat bill of infamy made baste to receiveand poekst the §3 ..(>•• Ml plum. But these sraiaejournalists ono and-all forget to bestoweven mild censure upon President GUAXIwho hesitated not a second to affix hissignature to the bill, without which itcould not have become a law. For eaiohvoting or consenting member of Congressthere was but $6*000, less mileage, in thobill, with $3,500 annually, thereafter,lc?s mileage, so long as re-elected. Fortho President there was a bonus of $100,-000. We say a honir?., for though the in-orease-of- his ssiLiiry did not date back—Congress, for a wonder, having once re-garded a plain prohibition of the Con-stitution—ho had accepted a nominationand re-election with the knowledge thathis- salary was fixed at $20,000 a yearinstead of 150,000; and with no promisethat it should be increased. Wo forgot:there is a story current thai ho exacteda promise of a second term before con-senting, to resign the life-long general-ship of the army to- accept the presidency,and the chief radical f'uglors may havealso bargained for an increase of hissalary, But whethor or no this is so alittle mild condemnation of his graspinggreed would evidence consistency.

I t is r'ported upon go id authority thatGeneral Sherman haa expressed lams-Ifstrongly in favor oi fighting Indians byIndian methods, and especially by offer-ing a bounty for M.odoc scalps. Un-doubtedly tho proposition will exciteg-oat opposition in some quarters, butafter all to tLia or sumo other analogousPM-ins it nppenra that wo must come.Tho si alps aro not perhrtpa an indispen-sable part of the programme; but it ispre-«minontly necessary that some planshould bo devised for culling out thefrontiersmen und friendly Indians, andstimulating their zeal by lilii-iitl rewafdsipayable only upon full proof of actualservicei In other words, we must huntI ho Modoes down with trappers und halfbreeds; we most pay these men, and wemust Bee that we got a full equivalent ins Tvioos for our outla -.

Not the regular troops should be With-drawn. When properly handled, therecan be tio doubt of their real value asIndian fighters. Tho recent success ofCrook in tho southwest furnish gdod evidenco of this. Three or four months agoa series of hostilities, dating for theirorigin as far back as the Spanish ooflquest,wore in full progress; and now, after abrief and energetic campaign, we find.peace completely established. Tho situa-tion is well expressi d in his rec(>nt letterto Governor McCormick, wherein, thank-ing that gentleman for his efficent aid,ho states that the work of pacificationhas so far proceeded that ho hopes tomake voters out of the wholo band ofApaches before tho next flection comi saround.

These principles apply with stiV.l great-er force to warfare with *he Modocs.The tract which they rtre now makim",one of the most oolebrutcd in the world,is wonderfully adapted to the war otshafpshootirfg and ambuscade—to thestrategy of the forest Indian as distin-guished from that of the Indian of thoplains. Now, if our history, either col-onial or national, has taught us anything-,it is the futility of fighting forest Indiansby regular evolutions and movements- e,;irmisae. The rent of Braddock's regularsand the- successful stand of Washington'srear guard of Virginia boTdermen, furn-ished an early and striking lesson. Thishas been repeated again and again eversince; but it seems as if we wero nevergoing to take it to heart. For once letU3 show sonje sense, and encourage thehunters and redskins to fight tho Modocsafter their own fashion.

— Ex-Marshal LESUER has been appointedspecial policeman at the depot, the Central Rail-road Company paying his salary. Wa may ncttY Ihope that the depot will be kept clear of loun-gers and loafers and rowdies, otidtliat Ifuiies willbe protected from insult.

— A down-the-Hufon gardener went out totake a survey of his potato patch a few morn-ings since, and reports finding a regiment of po-tato hugs sitting on the ridge waiting for theplants to break ground and furnish their morn-ing meal. He massacred tho Hodoc " varmints "-he did.

— A few nights ago somo body—supposed tot* Sophomores—got access to the UniversityChape!, painted the seats of tho Fresh, yellow,and inscribed '70 ovci the President's desk. Thevigilant janitors discovered the joke in tune toclean the seats and MVC the unmentionables oflie boys. Another example of "love's laboriost."

— The blind gutter across Main street, south«ide of Huron, is being taken out and a broadnnd shallow stone and cement gutter being putm its place. Another improvement iri the rightdirection. Covered gutters, unless laid deeperoni constructed largo enough to permit cleaningwithout uncovering, are both a delusion and aNuisance.

ploy of Express Agent AHM, experimented with4 cartridge a few days ago with not a favorableresult. Being at the depot he placed a cartridgeon tlie track and stood by to*ee the wheels ofboring train go over it. The wheel explodedthe cartridge and flattened the ball, but the ex-plosion projected the cop or casiiig into tho calfff C'iuuj.n./s right leg, and it is flirre yet. H t™»say as the old lady did of the g u n - a cart-ridge is a dangerous thing.

The "millionaire" of the Ypsihmti ('•rial boils over with wrath and fairly toars hishair bocause we suggested to his cotemporary oftho Sentinel, touching that threatened libel suit,that " the game is n't worth the powder."Sakcs alive, man ! wo didn't mean in a moneysense, not a bit of it. TheTO aro lots of menagainst Whom a heavy verdict for libel, thoughgood and collectable, would neither bring fittingreward in r plaster tip damaged reputation ; acompound or cross of the gossip and zany, withan infmito resource of froth and foam, boast andswagger, pretension and presumption, and wedon't know what else. You are of that class,and one should permit your word-pellets to rolloff his bead like water from a duck's back, andtake your lashings as ho would tho beatings-of afftmy baby, conscious that while it don't hurthini it is fun for you. Tlm.i was what we meant,and call it " green eyed jealousy and envy," orwhatever you please.

j ust think of our purse-proud and stuck-upbrother gloating over his possessions and count-ing his gold, and then twitting poor us of beingon our "last legs" (a very good pair yet); ofhaving only been kept "from starvation" bythe free run of the Probate Office, See. Is n't itjolly P Witness him pointing to his " fine officebuilding " and " magnificently furnished office,"and then to our "third floor" office, "smellingof dust" in a " rickety building" (wo don't,own it brother PAT. and aro not to blame forits being "r ickety"); next to hi; palatial "ad-joining residence" and then to our dingy hovel,exclaiming "all this is the product of my brain|

misers have been known to accumulate moneyand die rich; sponges grow aud give back noth-ing ; bores aro given patronage to get rid ofthem : so that your unprecedented and unparal-leled prosperity may not iurnish tho slightestevidence that community is any the better forit, or that you have returned value received forwhat you have gotten to yourself. But we willlet our Commercial friend tell tho secret of hissuccess in his own way:

A little over nine years ago we began, borrow-ing the money to start our office. Have givenali public offices the go-by, not even attending apolitical convention if it interfered with ourbusiness. We could not afford to become an Alderman or accept School Board honors, or anyother office for the sako of the petty, insignifi-cant driblings. We have had higher " game,"and have succeeded in bagging it.

That's it! get money and keep it. Absorband never give out. "Work only fo"r pay and besure of pay in filthy lucre. Serve your party inyour office at a fixed price, and your countryand God in the/ame "Svay. Never " attending apolitical convention if it interferes with busi-ness "—and then whining for political patron-age ! Never going frotn home exoeiit you have ahotel "free pass" in your pocket, and then starv-ing yourself for several dnys PO ns to put a week'sprovender down at a meal or tw'o. Urging thepublishers to form associatioiis, and then slinkingaway without enrolling your name—to save thedollar initiation iee, and so on in every socialtransaction. Get and keep.

Why, "-man, we don't know the estimate youput upon your immense acquisitions, but we ven-ture to say that the services we have given thepublic on School Boards and Cemetery Boardsand iri ;other positions of trust—not profit -figured at common day-laborers' wages wouldhave netted us more than your magnificentoffice and palace residence are .worth, certainlytwice or three times what the Supervisor valuesall your possessions at. And though these la-bors for the public—for years taking moro timethan was left to out own business—may havfebeen foolishly "bestowed as you would reckon,we have the consciousness of having been sorne-:hing besides a leech upon the bodies politic andsocial. And when those "last legs" can carryus no longer we hope that the good we have;ried to do in this way will be remembered toour credit though our bank account may belean. Hold, lead pencil, the public cares uoth-

for this and **tho game is n't worth thepowder."

— An examination of last year's assessmentoils Shows that the "fine office building" and1 magnificently furnished office" of the Commer-•inl arc valued—both together—at just what theSupervisor has for years assessed the material inour office, and that that "adjoining rcsi'.has a Supervisor's estimate of less than halfwhat our "dingy hove] " h (s I .- n assessed at.This fact is stated simply to juncture the puff-all. Besides we will wager a small sum thathi 1'usinoss of tlie ('ommercsc.l office has in no

oiin year ever equaled that of the ARGUS office.[80S may have done his business Cheaper,

collected closer, and kept his-GREAT OAIXS—hid-lon from the Supervisor. Absorbing, sponging,hat is Iiis scciel cf success—bis definition of' enterprise."

The primary object of this trip was the per-sonal inspection of the bed of tho road, andsuch other information as to tho condition of thework and its prospects as might thus bo obtained.The weather was delightful, and the opportuni-ty for such a trip unusually good. We learnthat tho work WM found in a most excellentstate, having sustained no damage lo speak offrom either the frosts of Winter or the heavyrains of the Spring.

Some idea of tho condition of this enterprisemay bo had, when we stato that the sum of(35,000 will complete the bed, inotadin

for the iron, for which purpose the Bum ot$63,000 is available as fast ns needed. Someso,(ion ties arc now on hand. Tlic Rum of 118,-000 will adjust all present demands of the Com-pany, including percentage regained On contracts;and fur this full provision has brer, matlv. Suchis the present condition of the work that it couldbe prepared for the iron within 30 days.

The concort of tho Mendelssohn QuintetteJlub, on Monday evening, was a pleasant and

rare entertainment, though we fear not profita-ble to tho Young Ladies' Iud'islrirJ Society ofthe l ' i . Church, for the benefit of

which it was given. The gentlemen comprisingthe club are thoroughly educated musicians andskillful performers on the several instru-ments of their choice, violin, violimello,flute and clarionet. Thoir selections weTegood, yes excellent, and the pieceswore rendered to the delight of all. Mrs. IX<\v,the vocalist, was enthusiastically received andwon the plaudits of all who heard her. Herenunciation is clear and perfect, and her execu-tion natural.

BakeT, Esq., ot this city, being called to thecbair,and the subject of the Iload freely disPresident Douglass gave a somewhat full state-ment of its condition, and said tlic presont ob-ject of tho Company was to make arrangementslor tho immediate ironing and running of theivoad. Negotiation) Itad been bad with thePennsylvania Company, but no satisfactory pro-gress had yet been made, and he desired .suchco-operation as the people of Toledo might beable to render, iu securing a favorable arrange-ment with some railway having a connectionw itli t Jiis city. This desire was responded to bydifferent citizens of Toledo present, and the chair-man Vv'as requested to appoint a committee offive to represent the people of Toledo, and to co-operate with the officers of the road, in efforts tosecure tho most desirable and ready arrangementoi (lie kind named, which coinmittoo will be

soon.*It cannot be necessary that we should assure

our Ann Arbor friends of the interest Toledotecls in this work. The liberal sum expended byher in providing access and terminal accommo-dations here, sufficiently attests that. Whatevercan be done by our citizens toward Iho early con-summation of the object common to Toledo, AnnArbor and the people on the line of the mad,will not be wanting. The visitors return to theirhomos to-day.

— The financial exhibit made above showsthat it is only necessary for subscribers to thestock of the road to pay their over-due assess-ments to put the directors in funds to pay oilcontractors and other claimants in full, putevery rod of the road-bed to the State line inreadiness for the iron, and leave a surplus. Theroad-bed from the State lino to Toledo is pro-vided fop, as Well as depot accommodations, bytho contract between the Trustees of the Toledoand Woodville road—the road built by the cityof Toledo—and the Pennsylvania Company, andIhis whether tho Pennsylvania or some othercompany shall iron, stock and operate our road.Ami we are quite couiident that a company willbe found to iron and operate the road as soon asthe bed is ready and the few lacking ties scat-tered along the line. Then let every subscriberpay up iu a manly way.

Tlic June Magazines.Though tho wind is yet laden with ice-slivers

and Jack Frost still plays his antics, thoughfires still burn in furnace, parlor heater or officestove and overcoats are in daily demand, theJune magazines come to our table remindingus that Spring has nearly followed Winter andthat Summer is near at hand—according to thealmanac.

YPSILANTI ITEMS.On Wednesday evening, tho 21st inst., Mr

DAVID A. W I S E found tho dead body of an in'

fant, apparently just born, lying at tho foot othe bank of the river, in tho rear of his dwellinhouse on Huron street. Blood was also discov-ered in tho water-closet near by. At an inquestheld to-day the following facts and circunvstanoea were brought to light: Mrs. MAEGAIIETSIMPSON, a widow about 86 years old, camo toYpsilanti about twelve weeks ago; boarded atthe Ypsilanti Houso for seven weeks, and tinremaining iivo weeks has been in the employ ofMr. W I S E . On Tuesday evening or Wednesdaymorning she went out, in her night-clothes, tothe water-closet, where she was delivered of thechild. She undoubtedly threw it from tho tojof tho bank, intending to throw it into tho river,but it fell short about a foot. She was up ato'clock this morning, had her fires built andbreakfast ready, and has been working hard allday. The only ground for suspicion at firstagainst her was that she had cleaned out thocoset. Her under-clothing was found aboutnoon, quite bloody, and when she heard this sheeonfesfed to giving birth to the child, but deniedknotciug it at the time, or throwing it down thobank. She is under arrest for infanticide.

Drinking.I have long had the conviction that

thoro is no greater cause of evil, moraland physical, in this country than theuse of alcoholic beverages. I. do notmean by this that extreme indulgencewhich produces drunkenness. The habitu*l use of fermented liquors to an extentfar short of what is necessary to producethat condition, and such as is quite com-mon in all ranks of society, injures thebody and diminishes the vital power toan extent which I think few people areawaro of. Such, at all events, is the re-sult of observation during more thantwenty years of professional life devotedto hospital practice, and to private prac-tice in every rank above it. Thus I haveno hesitation in attributing a very largeproportion of some of the most painfuland dangerous maladies- which com 3•Btrfei' my notice, as well as those whichevery medical man has to treat, to theordinary and daily use of fermenteddrink taken in thp quantity which is con-ventionally deemed moderate. Whatevermay be said in.regard to its influence ontiie mental and moral faculties, as to thefact above stated, I feol that I have aright to speak with authority, and do sosolely because it appears to me a duty,esuscially at this moment, not to be sil-ent on a-matter of such extreme import-ance. * * * * My main object is toexpress my opinion as a professional manBVrelation to-the habitual employmentof fermented liquor as a beverage. Butif I ventured one step further it would beto express a belief that there is no singlehabit in thi3 country which tends to de-teriorate the qualities of the race, and somuch disqualifies it for endurance in thatcompetition whiuh in the nature ofthings must exist, and in which stragglethe prize of superiority must fall to thebest- and. the' strongest.-Sir. HenryThompson.

Agricultural lie >rt.The following is a summary of the con-

dition of the winter wheat, just issuedfrom the Agricultural Department:

On the first week of April, a ooneidera-ablo portion of the northern belt of the•winter wheat area was covered with snow.The condition of that visible gave prom-ise of general exemption from winter in-jury, leaving the crop subject to the mete-orological vicissitudes of April. In theMiddle States a great improvement uponthe showing of last spring is everywhereconceded, especially in New Jersey andPennsylvania. The prospects in theStates south- of Maryland are less favor-able than last year, and there are indica-tions of a diminishing area in the cottonStates, although the acreage is not in-tended to be given in this report. Mich-igan, the only State of the northern bor-der in whish winter wheat 13 mainlygrown, presents a green and vigorousgrowth, wherever snow has disappearedto reveal it, and Ohio makes far morefavorable returns than last year. InKentucky a more checkered showing isaiade.. giving tho present appearance a(fecidedly unfavorable cast, with indications of future improvement as the weath-er becomes settled. In Indiana and Illi-nois.the unfavorable returns out-number-»d the rose-colored. The dry autumn re-tarded peediug and germination, and leftthe plants too weak and shallow-rootedto endure well the effects to tho winter'schanges of temperature. Similar causesaffect the condition, of wheat in Missouri,T*ut a great improvement over last year isreported,, and a still more favorable con-dfition exists in Kansas. l a Wisconsin,Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska, as isknown, very little winter wheat in pro-duced, but full reports are given of suchexperiments. The indications from Cali-foania-all poiat to another year of greatabundance, scarcely a county reportingan unfavorable condition- As a whole,the wheat prospect at tho close of thewinter is more favorable than at the samedate in 1872.

NOTE ON H I E EGG BUSINESS.—Veryfew realize what a vast quantity of eggsis required for the markets of the coun-try. Boston alone consumes frois 50,000to 100,000 dozen of eggs daily, when theyare at the lowest figure, and about 80,000at the highest. One man in Oxford,Maine, gathers and sends to Boston $50,.-000-worth of eggs annually. He keepstwo teams constantly employed collect-ing eggs from grocery stores of seven oreight towns. He has a stone cellar, 100feot.b.y 50, at home, and one at SouthUaiis, where he stores tho eggs. Whenlowest he pickles and saves for a highermarket. He has about 1,000 oratesome 100 boxes, and ships by the railroadevery day. The freight to Boston is acent a dozen, and all !c^ of breakagecprneu on him. Eggs fire never lowerthan 16, or higher tlmn 36, under thissystem, though they used to be down to8, cents. Tin collects in the summer fri mC00 to GOO dozen a week, payi&g ci^h atthe store. He thinks that hois will nettheir owners each year vl a head, if care-fully kept—JU«wie Fanner,

GIVE THE GIRLS STRENGTH.—The In-df,p(»ile/>tt remarking tho fact that not one•woman was saved on the fated steamerAtlantic although many had the samechance of life, as the men, observes: " Thestrength of women at the crisis of theirlife depends on, their physical culturewhile children. Let parents be no moreashamed of their girls brown faces andfists thau of thru' i.-iys. TJ< them beclothed so they can run and climb andenre for and protect themselves. Letthem be taken with their brothers intothe harvest fisld. A boy is not ashamedof work ao more Rbould bt> a girl. Therefinement that shuts a girl out of G( d'ssunshine, and allows her no rougher workin-doorn tVmn- to embrcider worsteds, ortap ivory keys, or dust marble mantels, isrefining bc-r off of the earth to give placeto the daughters of the servants in thekitchen."

A swindler down in Mississippi is sell-ing a drug to the negroes under pledgoihnt it will convert their wool into longstraight hair. He says it takes severalmonths for its effects to begin to show.And the papers say he is doing a briskbusiness.

Thus theth» East, with an increasing weightthat of a larger an,\ longer 1.is one secret of its rapid growth.

It is forty years sinoe the first whitefamilies entered Iowa. But no inorithan one-third of its present populationwere born within its limits; two-thirdshave come in.

Of its twelve hundred thousand to-day,one-half were born in some mon

custom State. Foreign countries bi-inrfurther thsm the Atlantic slope from theWest have hitherto felt its inflibut even they were longsincediivi mis wellas drawn to send their sons thither. Theinfluence exerted upon them bos beenthe sumo nature with that which baabrought Westward so many from ourown East. Hence one-sixth of the popu-lation of Iowa ha3 come into it from be-yond the Atlantic.

Not one-sixth of the population of Ne-braska were born wi.hin its limit?.More than twenty-five thousand homesteadefs and pre-emptors have filedclaims in the land-office at Lincoln, acapital not yet six years old :—and with-in the lust three years, about three thous-and settlers have bought farms on theland-grant to the Burlington and Mis-souii River Railroad—on ten years' cred-it and six per cent, interest, and, on con-tracts made since 1872, no installm nt ofthe principal due till the beginning ofthe the fifth year—and then only one-seventh.

The Westward tidal wave was never sostrong as to-day—but it will bo Strongerto-morrow. The stronger it grows themore strength it has to grow stronger.Nor can it fail to wax stili more mightytill so man}' of the European millionshive migrated that the density of popslation and the rate of wages shall hawbecome well-nigh equalized 1 n both sidesot the Atlantic—By Prof. J. O. Butler.

Anecdote of WebsterDaniel Webster was a firm believer in

divine revelation, and a elose student ofits sacred pages. On one occasion a smallcompany of select friends spent an even-ing at his house. Tea over, the Bible andthe relative beauties of its Beveral pnrtsbecame the topic of conversation. Each0110 of the guests had a preference.When the turn came to Webster, ho said :" The master piece of the New T-staim at,of course, is the Sermon on the Mount.That hns no rival, no equal. As to theOld Testament writings my favorite bookis that of Habbakuk, and my favoriteverses, chapter iii: 17, 18: "Althoughthe fi<r tree shall not blossom, neithershall fruit be in the vine—tho labor ofthe olive shall fail, nnd thf> fields shallyield no meat—the ftockn shall be cut off,and there, thall be no htrd in the stall—yet will I rejoice in the-lord, and joy intho God of my salvation.' This," contin-ued Webster, " I n ga:d ai one of the sublimest passnges uf inspired literature,and often have I wondered that some ar-tist, equal to the task, has not selectedthe Prophet and his scene of desolation asthe subject of a painting.1'

THE TEXAS PASTURES.—The grcapacities of Texas are piominent amongother features <>1 that State. It is estimated that 100 cows, bought for $1,200number 3,000head, worth $30,000 in 10years. Sheep husbandry is more com-mended, as tins country import" 50,000,000 pounds of wool annually. Texas canraise every variety required as cheaply aBuenos Ayres. Th • pasturage is illimitable, and the natural increase 100 per centannually. Both cattle and sheep can begrazed the year through, in most of Tex-as, on bunch and gramma, and other nu-tritious grasses; and when hay is wanted,the grasses cure themselves. The Platte

v alone has 37,000,000 acres of rich"lands, and the country 1,000,000,000, thatwill sustain n% many sheep, cud give finewool and mutton at the lowest cost—inan annual temperature of 50 degreesPa hrenheit. The water is good and abun-dant, and tho grazing belt, which stretch-es west of the iiio Grande, will be reach-ed at Fort Worth, by tho Texas & PacificRailroad in 1874.

To CURE DOGS OF KILLING SHEET.—Ifyou have a good dog that kills or runssheep, and you don't want to shoot him,build a pen lo feet square, and run 'a poleacross the top, and then pick the, largestand oldest buck of the flock, put him inthe pen, get your dog with a collararound his neck, and a rope to draw upover the middle of the pole, so that the'log will have his fore feet swinging offof the ground a, few inches. Get out ofthe pen, and let the buck give him sever-al good hulIn, and then turn him loisi.This is a sure cure. I tried it on my fath-er's dogs when I was a boy ; never knewthem to even cross n field where the sheepwere grazing. Try it.— Cones. Rural Hun.

RlZBXA PtTDDIKG.—A new food prep-aration of rice has appeared, and theAmerican Agricvllarid tells how to makea nice pudding from it : —" Mix fourlarge spoonfuls of rizena with a pint ofcold milk, and stir it into a quart of boiling milk until it boils again; then remove,stir in butter the size of an egg. and alittle >alt; let it ceo!, and add four eggs,well beaten, two-thirds of a cup of whitesugar, grated nutmeg, half a wineof brandy, or other flavoring if preferred ;bake in a buttered dish twenty minutes.To be eaten hot, with sauce." Bnt withink a plain rice pudding, made in asimilar manner, is not to bo boaten.

Tho editor of the Germantown Tele-graph prevents the depredations of thi

! bug by sowing around each hillof melons and cucumbers at the time otplanting a few radish seeds. He says"they come up about the same time, andtins tops supply pasture for the bugs,which it much prefers to the vines. Lettuce will also answer, but. the radish israther liked the best. While our Tinesare untouched by making this littla pro-vision for it, th« young radish tops ancompletely perforated. Should this fail,which is seldom the case, and has neverbeen, the case with us, sprinkle the vineswith a solution of whale, oil soap andwater. No other insect but the curouliocan sianil this. Where this preparationis not attainable, a weak solution of car-bolic disinfectant soap will answer aswell."

James Brooks died richer than ho waisupposed to have 'oven. Of the propertymentioned in the will, tho half interest iethe Now York Evening Exfirexx newspaperand real estate is worth $250,000; theFifth avenuo house $60,000; and tlcifio. bonds foot up $195,000, besideWashington property. The "personaland mixed" projierty, comprised in tin-last paragraph ot the will embracedamong other possessions a large amountof stock in various Western railroad cotn-pauies. Mr. Brook's fortune, at the timeof his death, was not lets than .fl,'250,000.

A Washington special says the Presi-dent recently expressed regret that theappointment of a Chief Justice would dvoivo on him, and that he would willing-ly shrink from the responsibilty if becould. He further said he would appointa man independent of political consider-ations, and one whom the lawyers of thocountry would indorse. In the mean-time he hoped his friends and the promi-nent men in the country would give himtheir vitws upon ths subject.
