TH* Express has bccame the half way advocate of the building of the railroad from Brazil to Bloomfleld.-—Journal.

Gsn you find anything in our columns in proof of that assertion If so, please

befog it out. We are not, have not been and shall not be an advocate of the Brazil and Bloomfled Railroad. Still, if that road is to be built, we can understand why it would be better for Torre Haute that it should be controled by parties ininterested in tbo prosperity of this city, than by Indianapolis influences decidedly opposed to our interests, Cao the Journal

see that If the friends Of the Terro Haute and Bloomfleld Railroad will go to work with anything like energy, if they will shako off the soporific spell that seems to pos seea them, and wake up.to the imperative necessities of our situation, they can build tbo road from, here to Bloomfleld before the Brazil lino is fairly started. As wo have heretofore said that project need not interfere in any way with ours. it may not bo improper to repeat, in

this

connection, that Mr. Rosa is oxceed ingly desirou3 to see the Terro Haute and Bloom Bold road in process of rapid construction at the earliest possible date. To prove his faith by his works ho has already subscribed $^,000, whilo he haB not sub scribed one cont for Iho Brazil road.— There is good reason to suppose —if we may judge of tho futuro by tho past—that tho fifty thousand dollars subscribed is not by any means tho full measure of his intentions. Indoed, wo are confident that, if the corporations and individuals who ought to help in this onterprize will act with reasonable promptness and liberality, Mr. ROSJC, and parties immediately connected with him, will find moans and influences sufficient to complolo the work

THE Department of Agriculture at Washington announces that it has advices from the corn crop of tho country up to August 20tb, and that the prospect for a bountiful yield is not so good as has been generally expected. According to tbe returns made to the Department, tho crop of Illinois will fall fulJy thirty per cent below that of last seaeon, and Indi­

ana

is nearly as bad Michigan,'Wisconsin, and Minnesota, return *.hoir crop as twenty-five below last year Iowa is put down at twenty per cent below, and Ken» tucky and

Now England States report nearly as great injury, and New York is put at twenty-flvo per cont. below Maryland, Virginia, North'Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee, report damago cf ten per cont, and South Carolina thirty per cent.

Tnis seriovs falling-ofF in the great* corn producing Slates will produce marked eflec^upon the market, and will no doubt advance.the prico highor than it has beon for two years. Farmers will raise no twenty-live cent corn thisyear.

ENGLISH JOURNALS state that the Great Bastern steamship, for laying the Froncli Atlantic cable, receivod $7,000 a mouth during the timo spent in doing tho work, including stowage, whichoccupiod along time," and also 1,000 shares of tho Cable Company, the markot ya'uo of which was $100,000, or $100 a share. Tho result of the rocont expedition showed that tho work of laying sea cables would always be exceedingly hazardous, and that tho Groat Eastern possessed groat advantages over smaller vessels. The Groat Eastern will sail for India in tho first week of October, to lay tho now East India cable in February, and will rocoivo-$250,000 in slock for her work. Sbo is expected to return to England in May, and will then probably be onguged in laying tho Falmouth and Gibraltar cablo.

./THE St. Louis Democrat correct* the ridiculous story that "a negro named NORTHROP" had been oloctod President of tho University of Alabama. Tha gentleman chosen was CYRUS NORTHROP, of New Haven, now Professor of Rhetoric ia Yale College, a youug man of high character and marked ability. The fact that he was elected over RAPHAEL SBMUKS, of Alabama notoriety, is an evidence that real merit begins to be appreciated ia that quarter.

A REPUBLICAN VICTORY in Vermont was a foregone conclusion, and wo are not thereforo, inclinod to jubilate much over the fact that our friends have swept the Stale by majority of from nineteen to twenty thousand. The Democrat have not a einglo momber of the Senate and but four members.of the House.

TO-DAY the Republicans of Minnesota hold their Stato Convention to nominate a tickct for Stale officers. Among tho candidates talked of for Governor is Mr. IGNATIUS DONNRI.LY and there appears to bo a general disposition to ignoro the unfortunate iivisions of last yoar, which resulted in the election of a Democratic Congressman from a strong Republican district.

THK New York Democrat makes a disgraceful attack on Bishop SIMPSONI asserting that he canvassed Virginia for WELLS, and calling him "a Methodist bloodhound of Zion, who cares more for the nigger than for Christ." TtieEvansvilie Courier follows up the cue thus given, and declares that Bishop SIMPSON gave GRANT a Bible because the Bishop had no further uso for such a book.

THE Omaha <Republican> of the 4th says: "A dispatch from Cheyenne, dated yesterday morning, claims the election of NUCKOLLS (Copperhead) as Delegate in Congress, by a majority from, 1,000 lo 2,000. It is from a Democratic source, however, and must be received with many grains of allowance The Sweetwater country could not have been heard from when the dispatch was written. We have little doubt, however, that NUCKOLLS is elected. It was almost too much to hope that Wyoming, with so largo a representation from Pap PRICE'S army, would return a Republican to Congress." ===== A Sober Meditation by Mark Twain.

HE IS HOT IN POLITICS-

———

Fiom tbe Sew. iVrkSon] NARBAOANSBT, Aug. 14, 1869. MY DBAB MR. BRIOOS: Your note of the 29th, after a rather long journey, reached me here yesterday. should be very glad to see you, and talk with you on any subject but politics.

Dr. Bailey used to say that of Bunyan Pilgrims be represented "Christian," and I "Hopeful." I am still hopeful. When I was younger I thought that if largely trusted by tbe people I could do good service to the country. I should have been glad to have been to trusted. Now I am older, and not at all satisfied that if a higher place I could do any better than those who now exercise executive functions. I am moro than content to let aspirations alone. My hopes are in othors.

It amuses me to hoar of1 Chase's movement's here and there. I don't believe there are any such, -as far as locality is given to them. In Maryland I know there are none, for I spent two or three days in Frederick this week, and should havo hoard of them if any existed. I don't believe a bit in tbem elsewhere.

If I can only perform, with reasonable satisfection to my .own conscience, and to the opinions of those best qualified to judge, the duties of my present position, it will iilt: the largest measure of my present ambition. want nothing whatever of a political character, end desire that my naino may bo dissociated hearafter, in men's miadsrwith all political actions.— If this is loo much to expect,lot mo hope, at least, that no friend of mine will lond any counlenanco to such- absurd non sonso as that to which I havo referred.

Wo ato coming to New York next week, to attend the wedding of Miss Susie Hoyt, at Astoria, next Thursday. If we remain long enough toseoanybody, I will let you know of my whereabouts.

Sincerely your friend, S 1\ CUASK. AS A. BKIGOS, Esq.

A Noble Struggle.

Froui ilia Cincinnati Olirouiclo Miis Fannie Jackson, Principal of the Fomale Department of the Institute for Colored Youth, in Philadelphia, was born a slave, in the District of Columbia, with a dark prospf ct bofore her iu life.

Inspired, however, ^with a noble pur pose, she-felt ihe stirrings of a genius which even the galling chains of slavery could uot restrain, and sot about the work of acquiring ail education with an energy and zeal fully attested by the proud position she uow occupies.

In one of her letters she says ''Tbe longing, tbe burning desire lobe educated, Imigbtsay, I imbibed with my molliur's milk. I can not recollect the hour when it was not the first wish of my heart."

A slave womiro/'lrerauntfwas the finit to perceive and foster ibis laudable am biliun of tbe little slave girl. This aunt was unremitting in ber efforts to tree her niece, hoping thus to place her a position where surrounding circumstances -might prove favorable to the developmental her mental powers. To the freeing of Fannie ber devoted aunt applied herself wiib unremitting toil, struggling silently and alone to this end, which at last, when ber niece Was fifteen yoarg of age, she accomplished.

Fiom her lil'e of bUvery, burdened with ill-health and poverty, Miss Jackson was sent to JNuw Bediord, Mats, tibe gives, iu a letter to a friend, the following graphic accuuut of ber life there:

I was sent to New Bedford—here, there, nowhere. I did but little during this time in tbe way of learning. Children who have to work for their bread have little chance to learn.

At first I went to Newport. There began tbe struggle. I was not willing to depend on uiy aunt.

tjj I went to service. On, the hue and cry tbero was whon I went out to live! Even iny aunt epokeof it she bad a bome lo offer me bui the "slavish" ele moot was strong in me that I must mako myself a servant. Ah, how those things eul ino then 1 But I knew I was riyht and 1 kept straight on.

The lady with whom I lived ullowed ine ono hour every other afternoon to go and rucUo to a person whom I paid io leach me. For this I was not allowed to go out at any other time. remained there six years, using my seven dullbi'sa month to pay for uiy instruction

This tedious period of delay did nut in ihe least dun her zeal fur au education Many as they were, sovere as were her trial*, she bore up under ihom nobly, performing all her duties faiihlully, yet constantly and consistently striving lo elevate herself displaying uucbangablo swoolnoes of temper.

About this lime ber molber was taken fatally sick and she was called lo attend to her wants. Wilh tender and, un wearying solicitude she watched ahd soothed those last days of h«r. inolhei's life, and when her care was no longer needed took up ugam hor own ambitious pursuit,

She completed tho course of study at the State ilormal School at Rhode Island, and came thence to Oberlin Colle^o, in Ibis Stato, whence sho graduated with the degree of U. A. with the class of '65. Tho fall she assumed ihe poeiiion which she now occupies. There waa no hasle and no lack of consideration cither on the part of tho Trustees in offering, or on hor part in accepting, this silutlion.— Tim cultivated Quakers of Philadelphia aro a notoriously deliberate people, and it must havo required tho possession of a very superior order of talent to induce Ibem to place a xooman, and a colorcdwoman at that, in tbe position jual vacated by a man thought worthy to represent hiacountry in a foreign land.

It was accepted by Mis Jackson, after a conscientious consideration of its duties, and with a full impreision of tbe honor conferred upon her. One of her friends, who lately visited h«r, writes lo the Philadelphia Press as follows:

It was in Philadelphia at her own i«idence, that I first met her. Expecting to find a raw student, bristling with all those uncomfortable aphorisms and teasjng axioms so peculiar to the class, could scarcely believe my senses when I was presented, and listened lo a woman to whom grace and dignity, refinement and culture, were evidently not rocently acquired, but innate attributes. Without affectation she established with me ber claim to refluement without th'o slightest shade of pedantry convinced me she was a scholar, and one of rare ability. This school in Philadelphia was not Miss Jackson's first attempt at teaching sho had taught at Oberlin, and brought too much experience and ability to admit the possibility of her new charge reaping tbe doubtful benefits of a novice's blunders. liar touch was that of a matter hand, and was felt to the uttermost limits

A week at the watering place, and of the time each daj spent in tbe com2 pany of Mr. Mainwell, the gentleman whom Miss Ellsworth's eld friend had introduced to her one morning on the-pisz-zs. She had sailed with him along the •bora oil tbe moonlight evenings, and she bad danced with him in the thronged drawing-rooms.

Miss Ellsworth was not* flirt, who distributed ber ideals among many gentlemen, and she had found ber ideal well nigh realized in MainwelL Only the evening before, their talk had withdrawn itself from the general topic to which each bad been congenial, and* in her admiration of his intelligence and manliness, she had encouraged an approach to that personal sort of conversation which relates to love and matrimony.

And no# to find Mr. Mainwell this morning, with his coat off and a smith's apron on, engaged in mending a lock! He was doing it publicly. The lock waa on tbe door tbat led to the middle of tbe front piazza where tha fashionable ladies and gentlemen were sitting or promenading.

His back was towards ber as she approached, leaning on tbe arm of her friend, Anna West. She recognised him, looked intently at him, gave her companion over to a party of young ladies near, aod then stopped and spoke to him. "Do you like tbat sort of work, Mr. Mainwell?" she asked.

I do, Miss Ellsworth. I believe I am a natural mechanic." "It appears very odd to see you doing this." "It is my trade," he r»plied, rising from his work and turning to ber.

Her cheek blanchdd a little. "Your trade I" she said faintly. "Yes, trade, Miss Ellsworth. Tbe proprietor said the lock needed mending,-and I told him I could mend it for him."

The party of girls came along just then. After wondering at Mr. Mainwell awhije, and laughing at him, they proposed a ride.

There were three carriages for tbem all. Thoio would take the parly. Ned Wbiltaker hero joined them. "What tbe deuce are you about here?" be exclaimed to Mr. Mainwell. "Ah," be added, when the latter turned and glanced at him "but while you are here you might as well enjoy yourself."

Mr. Mainwell excused himself from joining tbe party, leaving him to finish his work.

Mtes Ellsworth left him without any word at parting. "It is well," he muttered to himself.— "If she cannot take me as I am, sho is not worthy of me. Tbe woman tbat marries me must take me for myself." lie stood and looked after hor until she bad disappeared. Sbo did not once turn to look back.

He gave his shoulders a shrug, compressed bis lip, uttered a cynical "humpb 1" aod turned to finish his work. "Let it bo so," be muttered, when he was through and was putting on his coat. "I thought perhaps tbat 1 had found a woman after my own heart Amid this world of wealth and fashion, sbe, too, has lost her soul. Let her go."

He avoidod her thereafter. He did not seek to catch her eyo for a bow of recognition. When she entered a drawingroom wbere be was, be would go out by another way. But he was more than ever in tbo company of Ned Whittaker.— Ned, in passing to and fro between Mies Ellsworth and him, served still ss & sort of link between them. "You are a cynical fellow," said Ned, one day. "Why don't you take people as tbey are You will find good enough in them-" "But tbey won't take me as I am.— Tbat is tbe trouble." "Pobh! You see yourself that she allows no other suitors to accompany her. Don't you see sbo is alone or with olher girls the most of the lime?"

py-'

The school, which had slept,

of her task.

"Her heart is full of vanity."

"Pshaw 1 Sbe is trained to luxurious notions, that's all." Mainwell's trunk was awaiting him and tbe stage, outside oa tbe piazza, at the time this conversation was going on. On tbo trunk where hie initials, G. M. Miss Ellsworth, passing that way, saw the initials, not by chance, for sbe had been very busy scrutinizing the trunks that lay together in a pile, and when she saw the initials she started and turned pale. She recovered herself, and withdrew with ber companion a littlo way, and then stood still and watched. Presently Mr. Mainwell camo out with Ned upou the piazza. He chanced lo turn his eyes toward her, and their eyos mot— met for tho first time since she bad left him while he was at work upon th© lock She did not turn away ber oyes. Sbe bowod. He lifted his hat. Tbe ice was broken. Ho approached to bid her good by.

What the conversation wai that ensued between the two whon ibey woro loft alono by moans of Ned's ingenuity in spiriting away the rest of tbo comyany, is unknown, save tbe following: "But I am a locksmith,' said Mr. Mainwell. "No mattor. "Are you willing to live as Iho wifo of ono who with bis bands oarns bis daily bread "lam willing to undorgo anything to bo wilh you. I have suffered onough. During tboso last few days I bave learned what it is la despair,„qf being unitod to the one I love." "But your mother —your father." "Unless I am willing to leavo them for your sake, I am not worthy of you." "But then the loss of wealth, of position, of the surroundings of refinement." "Do not say anything more about it. I am woary of being without you." "Would you bo willing to become my wife this day, this hour? Your father and mother might otherwise put obstacle* in our way." "I am willing—this hour, Ihisnoinutb "They do not know of my position in life." "They still jhink you are wealthy—as I did." "Come, then,'we will go bur way wilh Ned, and become before Ibe world wbal wo are now in spirit, husband and wife and then at once wo will tako tho carat for the home I bave for you—a home wbieb, though lowly, will makoyou hap-

"Whither you go I will go.' They wero married in a quiet way in the little watering-place chapel, wilh tbe wicked Ned conniving at the mischief. The next train sped with tbem lo the city. "I will show you the shop" wo ere I work," said Mr. Mainwell, when Ihe carriage tbey took at the depot in the city had draw up before one of a long block of brown stone houses in a splendid part of the city. "What do you mean sbe demanded, as she accompanied her husband up the broad slops In the door. "1 mean,' he replied, "that this is the bome, and Ibis is tbo workshop."

And he led her in. Among other rooms to which be conducted bis wife Was ono fitted up as a workshop, wbere as he said,he was accustomed to indulge bis love for mechanical work, after having, as he assured her, regularly erved his time at learning a trade.

Mrs. Mainwell stood and looked at him intently. f'ls this your bouse?" she asked "Yes, madam." "And you are not poor, but ricn "You speak the truth, Mrs. Mainwell." "And why did you play this jest upon me? "To see whether you reaily loved me for my own sake." "Ah, pretty, indeed! And suppose you don't love me T' «kKfcjf ,»

?Buktio."aa "Humph!" So there was ts 1 tbe tpiL "Now invite jour father and mother to eomeand see us," said Mr. Msimrsit, after tbe clouds had cleared away somewhat.* rp wilV'4ha Wpfaft, iif rfr«t you must go with me to see tbem. and tn the*, ia view of what done." .r«0v

In a few days tbey started out ia a car. riage 6a. their errand. Mrs. Mainwell gave tbe directions to the driver, and her husband could not help expressing his wonder at tbe increasing squalor of the neighborhood through which tfaeyroda. The carriage drew up at length before a miserable looking tenement hoose and stopped. "Where the deuce are you taking asked Mainwell, looking sharply at his wife.

11

Com a and see," was her reply, as she proceeded to step frocfi the carriage. "Here—wait," he exclaimed, after bis hesitancy "let me get out first, and help you out. What does this mean?": "Follow me," was her replv.

She led hmmp-slairs—up, up, through throngs, and dirt, and smell*, to the fourth story. Here sbe opened a door without knocking, and the two iantared. The woman was dressed neatly and so were tbe children, but they wer* all dressed very poorly, in keeping with the place. The man was* clad more carelessly, and even more poorly. On bis head he kept bis hat, which certainly was fall half a dozen years old. "My husband, Mr. Mainwell my father and mother, brothers and sisters," said Mrs. Mainwell, introducing all par* tie*.

Mr. Mainwell stood and stared without epeaking. "Ask their pardon, George," said Mrs. Mainwell, "for running away wilh me." "Who are tbey "Have I not told you didn't 1 introduce you?" "Who were tbey I saw at tbe watering place" "Some wealthy people who had seen mo at the milliner's where I sewed for a livelihood—served at my trade, George— and who fancied my appearance, dressed me up, and took m) there with them t" "You jest with me," be said, with a ghastly smile. "Do I? do I, indeed? These people seam to recognize me as a daughter and as a sister, jest, indeed! You will find that out." "You are too cultured, too tasteful, too fine-featured. "All these a milliner may be, or a sowing girl. Look for yourself among tbe class. It is not true!, All tbat we girls need is dross."

Mainwell lifted his fist and dashed it through the air. He ground bis leelh, and turning away left the room, Blamming the door violently behind him.

His wife took off her hat and cloak and furs, and flung herself down at the table and buried ber face in her handkerchief.

The doer opened again, and Mainwell put in his head. "You have deceived me," be-*Baid, "but come you—are my wife—I will try and bear it."

Sbe sprang to ber feet and confronted him. "Your wife, am I?"' sb9exclaimed. "Yonr wife, and 'doomed to live with one who does not love her, but was in love with bee circumstance! No sir you may go. I will not live a wife unloved for myself—you must take me thus or I will stay. Still I can work."

He closed the door and retired down the stairs to tbe street, clenching his hands and his teeth ss he went "The horrid disgrace of it," he muttered. '•The derision that will be my lot. And than to marry such a girl."

But at the street door he tarried. He bad a struggle with himself there all atone. Suddenly he turned and dashed impetuously up stairs, flung open the door of the room, seizad his wife in his' arms and clasped her to his heart. "My wife," he whispered in ber ear.— "Such you are and ever shall be before Go and tbe world." "Now I begin to think that you do love me," sbe said, smiling in his face. "You do love me? You really think you do, George."

He clasped her more tightly to him. "Come then," she said, though of such parents as tboso, poor as they are I should not feel ashamed—yot they are not my parents, but bave only played a part in which I bavo instructed them. Shake hands with them, George, they are worthy pooplo."

And be did shake bands with them and what is more, be helped them. A merry party was gathered that evening at Mainwell's house, a party consist ing of Mr. and Mrs. Mainwell, and their guests, Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth, the young lady acquaintances of tbe watering place, and Ned Wbiltaker. Nej never was in bettor spirits, nor lot it be stated, were Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth, who forgave tbeif daughter and her husband without hesi tation. '•I say, Goorge, said Ned, whispering in Mainwell's ear, 'two can play at tbat game, can't tbev?"

Mainwell.took Ned's jeering very soberly. 'is-'' "Yes," said he, after a few moments of thoughtfulness, "and the experience has taught me a lesson. What fools tbe pride of wealth makes of us all. I thought she ought to bave taken me regardless of my circumstances, for myself alone, and without hesitation" even. And yet when she tested me, myself was found wanting.— Shall we ever learn to disregard a person's occupation, and to look only at the character and soul

Ned shrugged bis sh oulders dubiously I think I bave learned this, lesson," Mainwell adde-d

Twenty-seven Cents' Worth of Mar ried Lift), In Virginia, where the law fixes the marriage fee at one dollar, there is a reminiscence of a couple who many years sgo called on a parson and requested bim to marry them. "Where is my fee?" said the function ary.

The parlies who were to unite their fortunes did so at once, and found the joint amount to ba twenty-seven cents. "I can't marry you for tbat sum," said the irate old gentleman. "A little bit of service will go a long way," suggested tbe mate applicant. "Ah no," Baid the parson, "you don't pay for the size of tbe bill, but for tbe good you hope it will do you."

Tbe lass, intent on marrage, began to weep, but tbe pardon was inexorable, and tho couple turned sadly to depart. Just then a bappy thought seemed lo strike the forlorn jnaidon, and sbo turned and cried through her tears: "Please, sir, if you caa't marry usfullvp, won'tyou marry us twenty-seven cents worth we can come for the rest some other time?

This was too much for tbe parson. He married tbem "full up" and tbey went on tbeir way rejoicing.
