The bill of the Grax.d Duke Alexis at the St. Charles Hott 1, New Orleans, is said to have been about $12,000, which was paid without wincing. " What is that dog barking att" asked a fop whose boots were more polished than his ideas. " Why be cause he sees another puppy in your boots," replied a bystander. "Mollie, shut the door; its awful cold in here !" was the remark of an Albany. husband as hi: hung his coat on a hitching post and prepared to re tire on the curbstone, under the im pression that he had arrived at home. Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was arrested in Wheeling West Virginia, tor not fulfilling a lecture engage ment, and at once took advantage of the law by which a married woman could not be sued. She thought if there was one advantage in a woman being nobody she would make the most of it. Not long since seven gentlemen de edied to give a dinner, each inviting the i~a 4jcpogt d4iik$1.. The Itable was et ir fonrteen. Fancy the as tonishment of the seven hosts upon receiving but one guest, and sitting down in the presence of six empty chairs! All had invited the saine man! We earnestly hope that the long protracted New Orleans struggle is not to be transferred to Washington, as reported ; but the arrival thither of Collector Casey and Marshal Packard, the body and brains of theconspiracy, indicates such a move. If the Presi dent were half as prompt to remedy abuses as the admirers of General Or dere claim, neither Mr. Casey nor Mr. Packard would have any official pre fix to their names by this time.-N. Y. Tribune. Saves the Cleveland (Ohio) Leader: The prqprietors ofthe Richmond street cars have at last concluded to bow to the inevitable, and admit colored men to equal privileges on all their cars. The action was voluntarily decided upon at a meeting of stockholders, but it is quietly hinted that certain ijudgments lately obtained in the courts by ejected colored passengers have had some effects in bringing about this change of feeling toward the here tofore proscribed blacks. Horace Greeley says that rutabagas are not indigenous to Western farms. A Durham pig can root a baga in about two minutes. They grow best on a sandy loam, ese~cially the red haired ruta, which is accustomed to sea-weed and intense cold. In moun tainous countries they grow last and arc principally used to fatten pea fowls and domestic quadramana. In plant ing, a Singer sewing machine is as good as any, though an iron-tooth rake will be found serviceable. Plant in rows and prune once a month with a broad-ax. Be dareful that you don't make a mistal;e and get turnip seed.-B.. DIFFERENCE IN WOMEN.-There is nothing more distinctive among wo ien than the difference of relative ,tge among them. TIwo women of the same Dumnber of years will be sub stantially of differe at epochs of life, the one wearied i ) mind, faded in person, deadened in sympathy; the other fresh and yoking, both in face a4d eeling, with sa mpathies as broad and keen as they were in her first youth; and perhaps more so; still as easy to be amused as ready to love, andas quick to learn as when she rrst emerged from the school-room. The one you involuntary suspect of understating her age by half a dozen years or mlore, whi n she tells you she is only forty the other makes you wonder if she Ihs 4co overstated hers by jut as much when she laughingly confesses to the sa ale age, The one is an old woman, v4a seems as if she never had been ye ung i the other only a girl, who seems as if she never would grow old; and nothing is equal between them but the nuamber of days each l4s lived. Chr 3ianity and the Constitution. [From Harper's Weekly.] Sc ue distinguished gentleman has late! remarked that the Christiani zatit 1 of the country is the sole hope of it political salvation-a proposi tion which few would care to dispute if tb *y might interpret as they wished. But when it was added that this Chr tianization is to bc effected by a forn al recognition of the Divine Au tho of the universe in an amend me to the Constitution, the remark bec ries unpleasantly foolish. The Chr ~tianity of the nation can neither be i :oved nor affected by any allu sior to religious beliefs in the funda mei al law. And for the very obvious rea m that the men who framed the Cor ,titution--although many of them goo men, and all of them, as living in hat is called a Christian land, CI stian men--very carefully resolved tha in making a bond of political uni n they would avoid all the mis chi, 's which have sprung from state ree gnitions of religion. But not con ent negatively to omit all refer enc to the subject in the instrument itse , the people adopted as the very firs amendment to it the declaration tha "Congress shall make no law res ecting an establishment of relig ion or prohibiting the free exercise the of." lis jealous prohibition of an es tab shment is the assertion of relig ion liberty. And that is one of the chi f glories of our Constitution. It u.nt nrstands its sphere and its purpose so ell that it shows no favor to the apJ coach of the most plausible peril. Bu are we not a Christian people ? it i asked; and shall we be ashamed to wn it? This is, however, a con fus Mn of ideas. As citizens, we are not Christians nor pagans; we are me ely Americans. The American cit. en who is not a Christian is no ley a citizen than his neighbor who is; any his neighbors, if they would gu rd equal liberty, will not attempt to lace in a political instrument any rel gious expression. It seems very ha I for many good people to under eta id the signiticance of religious lib ert . They say that it must not mnean lie use. But they do not tell us who is ) 4iscriniinate between liberty and lic use. The essence of religious Ii rty is that the state, as such, will ha e no other concern with religion ti: a to protect every man in cherish int that which he prefer, so long as he loes not interfere with the equal ri it of lil neighbors to do the same. 'his practical religious freedom is th religious characteristic of this co utry. Pagan, Jew, Buddhist, Mor mn ;, Mohammedan, and Christian of ev ry sect, from the Roman to the Co npbellite, may worship according to ida own choice. . The state is abso li -ly impartial. Indeed, the varie tit of sectarian Christian faiths are co ceded not to be proper subjects of r ,icism. And it is only when some cl trch or some clergyfuan, as such, in lrferes in politics that they become ju tly amenable to public comment ar I censure. All sectarian legislation - he giving of money collected from al the people to the maintenance of a sectarian establishment, whether m Ier the name of school or whatever ot fer name may be given to it-is, tlh refore, one of the most fatal Errors p sible. The apparent good to be at omplished in certain instances is m 're than balanced by the general a schief sure to result upon the whole. Ne observe that the engineers of tl project to introduce a religious at tendment into the Constitution Sde unauthorized use of the names o certain distinguished gentlemen, si ^h as Governor Washburn of Mas si ihusetts, and Governor Jewell, of C nnecticut. Will the committee n to used these names without author it inform the public which of the o ier names they were authorized to a. ociate with their movement ? This u e of noted names without authority a kind of frogery. It is imposing u on the public under false pretenses; a d those who are anxious to make te Constitution a rehgious insttl n ant might properly observe the rules c mality in their attempt. Mozart was sitting one morning on 1s bed, when his wife entered to in f rm him that the butcher was down s iirs with his bill. Mozart, who had k en for some time composing one of I s greatest pieces (the immortal (,emenza di Tilto), was arranging in 1 .s fantasia its most beautiful airs. Ie neither saw nor heard his wife. ie, a lovely, kind soul of practical .ews, who had shortly before mar ed the young artist, stood waiting while. Finally, seizing him by the bow, she began to repeat the butch S's account. All was in vain. The atcher ascended the stairs. Mozart idistiuctly conscious that something Ad passed, had continued forming ie effusions of his fantasia on paper, hen the heavy footsteps resounded the hall. His walking-cane was at and. Without turning his eyes from ie sheet, he held his cane against the oor, succeeding in holding it but a moment. But the delightful fantasia ieanwhile had been poured on the aper--it was saved. The cane' drop ed from his hand, and he fell back ihausted. The door opened and his ife and the butcher entered. All ua onscious of anything he lay on the ,ed, his forehead bathed in cold sweat. 'he wife, terror-stricken at the sight, ushed to her beloved husband; she 'athed his forehead and embraced im. Mo art at last opendtl his eves. " Never mind," said the butcher, un der whose blood-stained coat beat a feeling heart, " you make me a fine waltz for my marriage ball, and I will cancel the debt, and let you have meat free for a year to come." "It is a bargain," cried the lively and gifted Mozart. " Meat for a year, did I say t" exclaimed the enraptured tradesman; "no! one hundred da cats you shall have for such a waltz, but I want it with trumpets and horns and fiddles-and soon, too." In one hour the unrivaled " Oxen Waltz" was written. Col. Scott to Build the Southern Pacific Railroad. [From the New York Bulletin.] The negotiations pending for some time past for a change in the manage ment of the new Southern Pacific Railroad have been finally perfected, and the anticipations of the Bulletin have been fully realized by the resig nation of Marshal O. Roberts, Esq., as president of the Texas Pacific (Trans Continental) railroad company. Col. Thomas Scott of the Pennsylvania railroad company has been elected to take Mr. Roberts' place, and succeed to all that gentleman's interests in the various railroads with which he is connected in Texas and other Southern States. The retirement of Mr. Rob erts has been occasioned by the con dition of his health for some time past, which disabled him from devot ing to this great work the energy and attention that it requires. It has also been long apparent that Col. Scott was " the coming man," a.d the various operations which he has re cently assumed, directly and indi rectly, to the Southern States, all pointing to the acquisition of the Southern Pacific railroad as a cardinal point in his policy. The acceptance by Col. Scott of the Presidency of the Southern Pacific, or more properly, the Texas Pacific railroad, secures the prosecution of the work with all possible energy and dispatch. For some time past little or nothing has been done on this line. The Texas Pacific Company succeeded to Fremont's legacy of blunders, which it was necessary to rectify. A large amount of bonds had been placed in the Paris money market, and there were also outstanding obligations in this country that required amicable settlement. The operations were also seriously embarrassed by the ill health of Mr. Roberts. The interest of that gentleman in various Southern rail road lines was about $1,500,000, and it is understood Col. Scott has taken on himself the payment of that sum. Whether Col. Scott takes the con trol of the Texas Pacific railroad on his own responsibility or on behalf the Pennsylvania railroad, or the new Southern Railroad Security Company, does not yet appear. The probability is that he represents all those com bined interests, and that the new trans-continental route will be con structed and run in connection with the great Pennsylvania railway rather than under his direct control. It is rumored, and with strong appearances of probability, that Col. Scott will now retire from any active manage ment in the other concerns in which he is interested, and devote his whole time and energy to the construction of the new line. The Texas Pacific (Trans-Conti nental) railroad commencing at Mar shall, near the Texas line, is to run via El Paso, Mexico, to the town of San Diego, California, about 400 miles south of San Francisco. The distance between the extreme points is 2000. At San Diego, the Texas Pacific will connect with the Southern Pacific railroad. The Southern Pacific, of Texas, projects from Shreveport, La., to the Rio Grande del Norte, a dis tance of 800 miles. The Texas Pa cific railroad is entitled to a Congres sienal land grant of 13,440,000 acres, and is also entitled to other grants which it is expected will suffice for the construction of the road. It is said that Col. Scott is in favor of the construction of the through line on the narrow gauge. But this state ment, to say the least, requires con firmation. The economical advan tages claimed for the narrow guage would probably be more than counter balanced by the immense inconve nience of a break of bulk, which would practically isolate the new line from the net-work of roads in the Southern and Pacific States. By the acquisition of the Texas Pa cific and the Southern Pacific railroads, Col. Scott now controls the longest line and the most important railway inter est in the world. He represents a gi gantic system of railroad centraliza tion. From New York to Philadel phia, thence to Charleston, Memphis, Little Rock and Texas, he reaches the trans-continental route to the Pa cific and grasps the trade of a conti nent. He represents a power that is greater than has ever been exercised by any one apart from military or des potic sway. There is no power in the United States equal to this. It can overawe and control the Supreme Court, Congress, the State Legisla tures, and if due caution is not used it may even prove superior to the Am erican people. But in a mere business point of view, we can not but think that this vast centralization will lpove beneficial to commerce. We anticipate that it will prove beneficial to this city, which is destined to be brought into closer communion with new and important sburces of trade and indus try. Negro Slavery in Cuba in 1872. [From the Baltimore American.] Reaching the plantation after such feasts of beauty, the visitor sees many things soon enough which call his mind back f pom the enchanted region. Man's inhumanity to man is practical ly illustrated before his eyes, and, if American, he sees at once the great difference of slavery as it existed be fore the war in the South and here. You miss at once the nicely white washed little houses, with their ver andas in front, standing in rows close to the master's dwelling; you miss the gay laughter and innocent merri ment of those little black urchins tumbling about in the dust, looking at you with laughing eyes, very often intermingling in close intimacy with the master's children ; and when you inquire here where the negro quarters are, they point out to you an uncov ered space fenced in similar to the baracoons I have seen negroes con fined in on the coast of Africa pre vious to their shipment to the West Indies or Brazil. When the hours of labor ofslaves are past they are driven into these inclosures like so many cat tle, the gates are closed on them and they are not allowed to pass out with out special permission-watched du ring the night by armed white men and their savage bloodhounds. As for the children being allowed to play in idleness, your Spanish plan ter knows better. They are all put to work. If too young and weak to carry sugar cane, they must carry bugazo-ground cane, which is .used for fuel here-to the sugar-house; and if too young even to do this, they are employed turning tie bagazo over while it is spread out to dry in the sun1. If ever I felt like committing a mur der, it was when, stopping one of the little curly-headed blacks to-speak to him and to give him a dime, the over seer came along and gave him a sav age cut with a whip, telling him at the same time to go on with his work. Though tti poor little fellow received the blow, Tsaw in the savage expres sion of the brute's face who commit ted the outrage that it was me he in tended to hurt through the body of that poor negro hoy. When showing us everything about the plantation, the proprietor, a wealthy Spaniard, stopped before the place his blood hounds were kept in and pointed out a perfect specimen of its kind-large,, powerful and tiger-like in his slow movements. He told us that to him that dog was worth more than his weight in gold; that once upon the trail of a negro, nothing but utter ex haustion or death could stop him; gifted with an instinct above common animals, and endowed with acute, keen senses, he invariably was suc cessful in his search, no matter what devices the negroes took to hide or destroy their trail. The people are very hospitable, and do their utmost to make your stay pleasant and agree able, and simply do not understand you when you express your sorrow for the hard life of the field hands. They are so accustomed to consider the ne gro but as some inferior animal that they think it nonsensical to express regret for his condition, and, indeed, the life the latter leads day after day soon causes everythingthat is hu man about him to disappear. Even the Chinese, with whose clean and neat appearance you are much pleased when you meet with him as a servant in the city, and who shows intelligence and brightness there, when sent on a plantation as a field hand, toiling day after day in a hot sun, under the cruel whip of a savage overseer, deterior ates rapidly, and in the course of a few years is no better than an animal, showing very often no more intelli gence than a horse or a dog, caring only to get food and drink enough to appease his hunger and thirst; and sleep to recruit his exhausted body. Mineral Discoveries in Texas. [From the Houston (Texas) Times.] Hardly a day passes but brings ad ditional evidence of the mineral wealth of our State. We have had exhibited to us a sample of coal from the outcroppings of a large and ex tensive vein located within a short distance of one of the leading railroads, and in close proximity to the city of Houston. From the appearance of the specimen it is evident that when the roofing is reached the vein will be found to be either a pure cannel or splint coal. It evidently possesses a large amount of volatile matter and very little organic substance, which will render it valuable for steam and other purposes. We are also informed that in the same locality there is found a superior quality of iron ore. These deposits of both coal and iron ore seem to be of the same char acter as those found in the v;lley of the Kanawha, West Virginia, where experience has demonstrated that the best quality of iron can be manufac tured without the process of reducing the coal to coke,\ which promises to produce a revolution in the. produc tion of iron by reducing its cost one half. This discovery does not surprise us, for we have long believed that our State would prove rich in mineral re sources; yet until their actual discov ery we could hardly believe nature had been so bountiful in the bestowal of her choicest gift as to place them so within our reach, and in a combina tion most to be desired. We Inok for a rapid development in the section where these minerals are found, and ran now almost see the smoke and red flames gushing from the chimneys of blast furnaces erected on the premises, and behold the mol ten metal running from their cupo las, and hundreds of energetic labor ers at work contributing by their labor,both to the wealth of the State and to the comfort and happiness of numerous families. This development also is of the greatest importance to our city; it will give us cheap fuel for our homes, and increase greatly our manufactur ing interest; which, except the culti vation of the soil, is the only soule of wealth, and the basis of the growth of cities. Indictment of Gov. Davis. The Democratic papers are prema turely jubilant over the indictment of Governor Davis, of Texas, by a fed eral grand jury for having given Col. Clarke a certificate of election instead of Col. Giddings. Thisthing will dis til down to a political trick, and Gov. Davis will come out of the tripl un harmed. He gave the certifi ate on the proper returns, and not upon the put up papers that the returning offi cers made out in favor of Giddings. Besides, he taught the uproarious Texans a lesson that they needed, to wit: that they could not elect their candidates by driving the negroes from the polls, as they did in many instances. When the Democrats learn that there is a corrective for the frauds and intimidations which they pre sume to practice upon the Republicans by ku-kluxing the colored people, they will not take the trouble of per verting the ballot-box in that way. Gov. Davis -pursued an equitable course in giving the certificate of elec tion to the candidate that was beaten by fraud and violence; and if this rule could be enforced in every in stance, fraud and violence would soon become less common than they are. We remember very distinctly that when the Democrats in New Orleans carried all the elections by cheating at the ballot-box the Whigs combined with the good citizens of the city to beat them with sticks until they stop ped their rascality. The Know Noth ing party originated out of these fraud ulent practices on the part of the Dem ocracy, and it was very popular un til it allowed a set of bullies to per vert its power in the same way ,that the Democrats had abused theirs. Gov. Davis checkmated a fraud that Gid ding's fiiends had put upon the ballot in Texas, and for so doing Giddings' friends have secured his indictment by a federal grand jury. It is a mere political trick got up in the in terest of a political trickster of the worst sort, and it will fail, as it ought to do, of affecting Governor Davis either in his tenure of office or with the people that elected him.-State Register. _New Hampshire--Connecticut. [From the New York Tribune.]) The Granite State elects her State officers and Legislature on Tuesday, March 12th; Connecticut does like wise on Monday, April let. These being the only State Elections that occur befgre August, while each of these States is nicely balanced in pol itics, they are naturally regarded with lively interest by politicians through out the Union. New Hampshire was in 1871 carried by the Democrats for the tirst time since 1854; while Con necticut, which had gone Democratic in 1870, went Republican by a very small majority. It is obvious that the vote in either State-unless reduced by inclement weather-will be much heavier this Spring than last, and that the result in either is very doubtful. We notice that the wire-workers of either party are under concern of mind for the fate of the other; Dem ocrats insisting that a Republican triumph will insure the renomi nation of Gen. Grant, while Republi cans retort that Democratic gains now will insure the nomination of Jeff. Davis and Breckinridge or Beaure gard for President and Vice-President by the exultant Democracy. We ap prehend that the votes of the masses will be but slightly affected by these predictions. The terms of Orris S. Ferry and James W. Patterson, U. S. Senators from Connecticut and New Hampshire respectively, expire with the present Congress, and their seats will be filled for six years ensuing by the Legisla tures a bou~ to be chosen. These gen tlemen had seen little public service out of their respective States prior to their election to the Senate, wherein they have chosen not to be persistent speakers, while Mr. Ferry has suffered from chronic ill health. The name of neither of them has thus been made "To ill the speaking-trump of sounding Fame;" so that some intelligent readers may not already know that two better Sen ators than Messrs. Ferry and Patter son are hard to find. There may not be Forty Thieves in the present Sen ate, but there are atleast twenty more than there should be and venality is there so common that even the pure are unjustly suspected; yet no one ever suspected or insinuated that either Ferry or Patterson has made or sought to make a dollar corruptly. Capable, modest, independent, and sternly conscientious, their States will be for tunate if able to replace them by suc cesors equnnally steinless and worthy. The SaceessfP Printer. There is nothing so consoling to the country publisher, next to a good cir culation and a large advertising pat ronage, as an orderly and well-kept printing office. It is to him what a snug parlor is to a thrifty housewife, a source of the greatest pride, and he is never so happy as when showing it to his admiring visitors. He believes in the old rule of "a place for everything and everything in its place." Here innumerable small things, such as fur niture, leads, quotations, brass rule, etc., which are of great importance, though seemingly of little value, are carefully put away in their proper places, not scattered promiscuously around, to be swept out by the devil, or hid away in some dark corner; for he knows that if they are lest or mis laid, the purchase of a new supply will be the consequence, while the old stock, if properly taken care of, will last for years. They all cost money, and no matter how little, are worth preserving. The leads are neatly as sorted according to size, in a rack, not scattered over the office and cases; and all the old brass rule is placed in a box and carefully put away in a place handy to get at. He is philoso pher enough to know that continual dropping of water will wear out a stone, and it is so with a font of type; if the stray letters which are dropped by the compositor as he stands at his case are not carefully picked up and distributed, his font of type will soon be exhausted. The old style was for the devil to collect them as he swept the office in the morning, dividing them among the men; but he has a better method, he requires the com positor to pick them up as soon as dropped, for they are liable to be trampled on and the faces marred by contact with the dusty floor. A clean, tidy office reflects credit on its propri etor, and adds materially to the coin fort of its occupants. He sees that the windows are cleaned once a week, and the walls are kept well whitewashed, for he knows how essential light is to a printing office. The presses, too, are carefully attended to, being cleaned and oiled before using, for the fine ldust which accumulates on the presses will cut the journals and bearings, be sides interfering with the easy work idg of the press. There is nothing depreciates so fast as machinery, if not properly taken care of, and a lit tlj oil and labor will make a press last Syearn, while one which is left for dirt to accumulate and the oil to clog on will be worthless in six months. He makes'it a rule that the rollers are put away, and not left exposed for the rata to gnaw, and that his compositors put the broken and defective type in th% hell-box, not in the nearest win dow, and enjoins on them that their quad-boxes are kept free from " pi," for next to foul proof there is nothing which so denotes the botch as this slovenly habit. He employs none but sober, steady men, who clean their cases out at least once a week, for it not only adds to their comfort in set ting, but preserves their health, for the antimony and lead of the type, mixed with fine dust, is'a deadly poi son, which if. inhaled is injurious to the lungs. His compositors are care ful in the distribution of job type, placing them carefully in their respec tive boxes, not thfown in, for many fonts of valtable type are destroyed in this way-it mars the faces and breaks off the fine hair-lines. Press men are often blamed for the destruc tion of type when the printer is at fault. Not so in his office; every one bears their share of responsibility, ac cording to the position they occupy. His paper, too, is a source of pride to him; he finds it the cheapest plan to give his patrons a well-printed sheet, which he has the means of do ing by employing good workmen and buying the best materials; and in time he is repaid, not alone with a large subscription and advertising patronage, but with the good wishes of his readers, who, if a little slow, are sure to appreciate in the end his labor for their entertainment and instruc tion.-Neu'spaper Reporter. The vote in the House of Commons on the proposition to censure the Gladstone Ministry is suggestive of a remarkable change in public opinion in England. A fortnight previous to the opening of Parliament, the Tory leaders had resolved to leave the Con servative reaction to gather force, and make no decisive effort to defeat the Ministry during this session. So strong, however, has been the discon tent of various advanced Liberals, on account of the policy of the Govern ment on the Education Question, andlapparently of other of his former supporters, on account of his position toward America that the Tones have been encouraged promptly to engage in a contest for power. Altlongh the proposition to censure the Govern ment has been rejected, it was with a notable decrease of the majority with which they have usually been sup ported. On Monday night, out of 509 votes, the Government had a majority of only 27; while last session, when the Army bill was under considera tion, the Government, out of 519, had a umajority of 58 votes; and on the Ballot bill, in June last, lbe Govern ment was sustained by ap dn ate m jority of 94 out o votes cast. This steadily" deereasaig ma jority is certainly suggestive of the approachingdownfallof the Gladstne AMinistry.--... Y. Pri'ncne.
