USELESS EXAMPLE. ' Precept is usually placed second to example in the classification of inOuences on human action. Whether this was the result of observation in the early days of the world, and human nature has undergone a radical change, is a question we will not attempt to discuss; but that the habit of the world is different now, is demonstrated almost every day and everywhere. Last night half the audience at the Academy of Music were moved by the powerful scene by McKee IIankin and Lizzie Shirley, at the close of the first act, where Rn was turned from the door, amid the lamentations of the children and the difficult purpose of the wife to be freed from the drunken vagabond who made home a hell to her. The picture was drawn to the life, and delineated the disgustingness of the drunkard, the desperation of the wife, and the destruction of the promise of the children; and the imagination could not create a more striking example of the meanness.sinf illness and destructiveness of drunkenness. "When the curtain rolled down an absorbed auditor heaved a tremendous sigh and rubbed his list across his eyes with the remark, "that's as good as Jefferson let's go down and get a drink!" and the whole seatfull of broadcloth and cassimere imptied itself into the aisle and ran down stairs. An operation which was also repeated at the end of the next act, and from many parts of the house. The city is full of wrecks of once- most promising business men, whose downfall waa so evidently the result of a particular course of pleasure-seeking developing into dissipation that there isn't a man in the c ity who doesn't know by the illustration the almost inevitable end of a certain course of life; and men pay no more attention to the lesson of the examples before them than a thirsty Stringtowner does to the moral of Kip Van Winkle'8 story. About every fornight there is a railroad accident caused by conductors or engineers standing their trains on a track on the time of a coming train; and though the public growls for a few days, and the railroads always lose thousands of dollars in the destruction of engines and cars, and sometimes have bills of damages to pay on account of the slaughtered or maimed passengers, no thorough safeguard has ever been found and enforced. And judging by the past, trains will continue to run into the train just ahead, killing and destroying as if there had been no example to warn Superintendents conductors. As a last resort to the efficacy of example the hanging of three or four conductors and engineers might be tried. About five hundred people are maimed or killed every year in this country, while attempting to get on or off the cars whileTin motion. But who ever knew this example to influence the traveler who is stretching his legs at a station, to get on the cars before the whistle blew? Boys and men will run back and forth on regular and switching trains in the city, crowding on the platforms, swinging at the steps, or hanging at the side of box-cars at imminent peril of life and limb; and although every once in awhile an arm is crushed, a leg amputated, or the victim killed outright, until the number of such accidents in this city has become very large, the annoyance to railroad men is not one whit less now than it was ten years ago. One might go through the endless round of recklessness and carelessness of mankind and find everywhere just such evidences of general indifference to the lessons of example, as to lead one to doubt whether it has any efficacy at all. Next to the muddle he has got Louisiana into, the great puzzle of the day is in the orthography of the ,late Governor's name. The beligerency manifested by him on variour occasions, the recklessness with which he violates the law and sets aside officers of the State would indicate War mtmth as the proper form of name a Boanarges who spits Bowie knives and Gattling guns. In his last exploit in running into the flames of the law when dazzled by the light of the f r pectant Senatorship, he exhibits more of the nature of a moth. One day his name is spelled Warmoth and the next "Warmoutii. The paper which is authority for one mode to-day will probably be using the other orthography to-morrow, and the minds of proof-readers and printers are "all tore up" about it. Carl Schurz told a correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial that the late "contest "however, had net been barren of results. "It has played out the Democracy as a "party. This is well. The people will not "elect a man to the Presidency who wears "the Democratic label." "We are happy to agree even in ont thing with Mr. Scuurz. Gratz Brown never should have been pinned to Greeley's coat tail. Toledo has voted two hundred thousand dollars toward the building of the Columbus and Toledo railroad, and has stock in a numter of other roads.

A QUESTION" OF INTERESTS.

The card from President Woodward, which we publish in another column, com plains of our allusion to the railroad oppo sition to the new coal road. Now, we have no personal quarrel with the railroads or railroad managers, who oppose the coal road; and hold our columns open all the time to anything they may have to say on the subject. But still, the fact that a road into a different section of country from the one in which the present roads run, and therefore could not come into competition with them for a single ton of freight that passes on their roads, is looked upon as in imical to the interests of those roads is one of the strong est possible reasons for building it. The only way in which it can possibly affect them, is in obtaining another supply of coal, and removing both the monopoly of the pioduccrs and of the carriers which now exists. In this the interests of the city uru not the interests of the owners of the roads, Their interests being diverse, the citizens should look to their own, and present a solid front against the corporations. We did not suggest that Mr. Woodward, or any of the representatives of these roads should keep hands off, if their interests were at stake; but we suggested that citizens should choose their own interest in preference to those of foreign capitalists. But in reply to a new position taken by the opposition that the roads had no inter est in the matter, because a new road could not cheapen eoal or the transportation of it, we suggested that the foreign capital which was not afTected would do well to keep its fingers out of the pie, and let the people ex perimentalize on their own account. If it is to the interest of the corporations to defeat the building of the new road, we give them our columns to advocate their own interests against what we believe to be the public interests, and we will be glad to re ceive a card any day on the subject, because we do not believe any other one thing would be bo efficacious in arousing the people to the fact that their interest in having the road is fully as great as the interest of the old railroads in preventing the construction of the new. And the same fact may be apparent hrough other means of opposition as through the public prints; and if it is true hat the railroad interests are working as siduously to set up votes against the new road, it is a strong reason why all who have an interest in the prosperity of the city should consider the fact that their interests and the interests of these corporations are diverse, according to the position taken by he corporations themselves.

From the Buffalo Commercial Advcrt'ser.l It i alreadv pretty cxtendtdly known through reports by the press, that Mr. Albert Brisbane, of this citv, is the inventor of a svs tern of pneumatic transportation for certain kinds of freight which, if it approaches in re sult to one-half even of what he claims, mu?t work one of the greates revolutions in this land commerce of the world tlut has ever yet been seen. His plan is simply this: Ha constructs air tight circular tubes of live, ten, fifteen or more feet in diameter, as may te required, these to be extended from point to point over the country wherever demanded bv the necessities of trade. The vehicle for transporting freights Is a hollow ball, orsphere, to rollwitbin the tub, of a diameter two or three indict less than the tube in which it is to work, so that it can roll freely; the load is to be carried inside the ball. A hollow ball of ten feet in diameter will carry, it i said, about two car loads of grain. The ball, when loaded, 13 placed in the mouth of the tube, this being left open and the remote end closed, and the air then exhausted from the laer, in front of the ball, until a snflieient strencth of current is obtained to roll it to its destination. The inver tor claims that, by this system, all ft eight that will permit of being canied in this way can be moved at one-fourth the cost of transportation by railroads, and at a speed of 100 miles an hour. Air enters a vacuum at a velocity of SOO miles an hour, and it would therefore seem to be within the possibilities of mechanics to exhauct air from euch a tube until a current of 100 miles an hour could be obtained through it. That there would be great power in such a current to move a circular rolling body. one can reaauy veruy oy recalling ine iaet that the wind, blowing at a speed of oply thirty or forty miles an hour, has a force that makes walking against it very difficult ; while a tornado having a velocity of one hundred miles an hour prostrates trees, buildings and almost everything in its path. Within the tube the air would, of course, move in right lines, and the current, being of artificial creation, could be fully regulated, and all its powers directed to the purpose of ministering to man's greatest need, viz., transporting, cheaply, the necessa ries of life, it shoula be remembered m this connection that the ball is made perfectly circular, rolls on a rail at the bottom of the tube grovedtoit, aud perfectly smooth, so teat there would be almost no friction to overcome in propelling the ball, and that it must roll very easily in comparison with other methods of moving the same weight. Row cheaply the nir can be exhausted to obtain such results remains to be seen; still it ought nt to be very expensive. The co6t of building and equipping 6iich a line, of large capacity, over the surface of the country, can not certainly be more than onehalf, if it is that, of building aud equipping a railroad. Much deeper grades can be overcome than by railroads, as will soon be seen. V e now come to speak oi the prospects of a development of this plan. Mr. Brisbane went before congress last winter, ana such was the strength of the conviction as to thepractica bility of his scheme, which be wrought in the minds of the committee on Appropriations by a small working model that a bill appropri ating $15,000 was passed to test the pritciplo by a tube to be built from the Capitol to ihe public printing house in Washington, a distance of 3.150 feet (three-fifths of a mile), and for the purpose of transporting all their packages. manuscripts, proor, printed documents, books, etc , back and forth between the two buildings. He then took the contract, in order to have the construction of the work under his own tupervision, remembered Buffalo and its interest?, and came here and purchased all his materials for the tube, and has had them manufactured here and forwarded to Washington. The tube is to be thirty-one inches iu diameter inside, length as above stated, and the ball thirty inches in diameter outside, thus allowing one inch space between the two for the free rolling of the latter. Mr. F. K. Plumbly, 5S Washinrton street. has the contract for preparingthe material, and has erected a section of the tube, full size, twenty-four eet in length, at his works, to see if the different parts fit together properly, aud in an imperfect way to test the principle". We have visited Air. I'.'a place of business, and seen the experiment of draw ing or rolling the ball through that length of tube by exhausting a portion of the air iu the front: and if anv thing can be known by results from such a crude and imperfect trial as the circumstances necessitate in this case, there would seem to be a foundation for strong hopes that the invention will prove to be a marked success; but wnetntr to the extent the Inventor claims re mains to be seen. We saw the ball one of those to be used at Washington drawn rapidly through the tube by exhausting probably not more man one-iounn to one-tnird or the air from the tube. This was done with the tube lylnq: oa the level. One end of it was raised one foot, making a grade of half an Inch to the foot, and the ball rolled up this incline almost as rapidly, by the same process and power, as it passed tbroueh before. Be it understood that it was only the power of one man, very rudely applied, that brought this re-

suit, as against a twenty-five or thirty horse power engine thst it is intended to use to work this tube at Washington, when it is completed. The tube, as above described will contain about sixteen thousand feet, of cubic air, and we are informed that Mr. Brisbane has purchased a Sturtevant exhaust fan, that has a capacity fur exhausting thirty two thousand cubic feet of air per minute, thu9 emptying the tube twice a minute, which must certainly give erent power and great speed if worked to its full capacity. On an extended line exhaust stations, connected with the tube, and of still much greater power are to be established at intervals of five or ten inilesj as may be required. BOSTON. We are pleased to notice that a Providence newspaper admits that there arc "god points" about Boston. "There's the remains of a fine woman about Sairey, Poll," remarked Mr. Bailey to Poll Swtedlepipe; and the Providence admission reminds u of that sharp boy's guarded critic-Urn. "Good points" about Boston ! We should Ih'rxK there were I Some of them, we allow, may be a little too good, but that's a fault in the right direction. Municipal integrity, codfish and potatoes, Lowell lectures, baked beans, business enterprise, and even the East wind, pre all good things in their way. A dignified gravity of demeanor is a good thing, and fo is an eye, provided it be not ver-sharp, which, ctt-lik;', watches for the merest mouse of a main chance. In the solid and virtuous pails of the human character, B st' n undoubtedly surpasses the whole mob of municipalities. The only diiliculty is that a solidity may sometimes be so dense as to interfere with grace, and that "virtuest" virtue is apt to muke us just a little enarunrrd of vice. Moreover, we suppose that the men and women of the Three Mountains will admit tkat they are a degree or two cold in their manner?, and have not that hearty way of opening their arms to strangers (morally

speaking, of course) whltU may ue uuu elsewhere. The wayfarer, unJc bechance tr ho a UriHsh nr Russian nr other 1 rince, an

Upcn that sacred day he will find t he streets deserted and dull, save when the procession is wending churchward looking as if it did not expect to like the eermou, or homeward looking as if it had not. been agrccablv disappointed. What thin? Upon no spot of earth, we venture to say, within tha siime sr:i will be found so mauy home bo full of all domestic graces, so peopled by honest nun, by kindly womer, by children of such noble promise and bo carefully nurtured. This rttlectlon has kept tolerably warm, even when the wind celled X. E. wa3 making manly frames to fbke and womanly noses to redden. lias the reader ever noticed what is to he found in most tolerably large families: the Modfl Child, the girl or boy who never did any thing wrong, was never late at school, never told a fib or had an Unclean fao never 6poke unless spoken to, always said "Yes, Marro!" or "Yes. Sir," alwava wiped the feet, and always shut the door? Boston is like the Model Child, not lovable, perhaps, but extremely likeable, and not to be criticised without qualms of conscience. The best way for one alien to those immaculate streets, should any controversy srise respecting that city, is to do in the beginning what at any rate he will be obliged to do at last admit that Boston churches, lecture, schools, magazines, that, in short, everything Bostoninn is just the best of its kind Ih the world. Tbis may not be exactly, but it is so nearly true, that a debate of the matter is hardly worth while. Moreover, upon the point of demeanor, we can assure those who have not enjoved recent opportunities of observation, that Boston, as she has grown larger, has somewhat improved. The thermometer of cordiality has gone up, say from r5 degrees to f0 degrees above zero, and tbe mercury of manners is still mounting there. There is yet a slieht stiffuess, uppishness, distance, and self-defensive air apparent, but these are day by dav melting away. We really do not wish that all cities of America were just like Boston; but there is rota city which might not in many respects follow her example. W will not, therefore, say "Peace to her ashes!" It would be of little use if we did; for it is morally sure that they will have no peace that they will be stirred up, shoveled out of the way, used to make new land upon which shall rise, minus Mansard roofs, the lovliest specimens of th New England 6tyle of architecture. X V. Tribune. WASHINGTON. HOW GEORGE WASHINGTON WAS ONCE PUMMELED ELECTION EXCITEMENT IN THE OLDEN T1MB A NOK.LE RETALIATION. In the heated canvass which followed Jefferson's nomination for the Presidency, General Washington's personal, intimate friend, Liijlithorae Harry Lee. was opposed for Congress by Colonel Peyton. So great was the interest felt by Washington for Lee, that on election dv ha mounted his horse and rode up from Mount Vernon to Alexandria for the purpose of influencing by his presence as many votes as possible for his friend. Among the many acquaintances he encountered was a plasterer who had been employed at Mount Vernon. This plasterer was a email man, defective, no doubt, in reverence, and, it may well be believed, somewhat the worse for liquor, early in the day as it was. Having faulted the Pater Patrkv, the little man proceeded to upbraid him for him friendship for Genenl Lee a man who, in his opieion, (the plasterer's.) was not only a Federalist, but an aristocrat to boot; whereas Colonel Peyton -was a Democrat, a friend of the people, and especially of the poor laboring classes. Nettled hv the disparagement of his personal friend, Washington replied that the! plasterer's preference was the result more of general Ignorance on all subjects than of any correct knowledge, either ot the character of the respective candidates or of the issues involved in the canvass. The allusion to his want of education was more than the intoxicated little man eould stand. To the astonishment of the witnesses, he ripped out an oath and said: "Well, I don't care if I am ignorant; I know my rights anyhow. You fought for our liberties, and wen 'em, and me if I don't intend to exercise 'em!" Whereupon he delivered a number of dry blows upon the chest of the august chieftain. Ther bystanders made a rush to tear him to pieces, but Washington, placing his hind upon the 6m.all man's shoulder, drew him close to him and said: "He shall not be harmed. I have wounded him in the tenderest part -of his nature. He Is not to blame for his ignorance, and it is but natural that he 6hould resent an allusion to it." THE ORIGIN OF- "EDITORIAL" IN AMERICA. IFrom the New York Evtning Pott The press is no longer what it was when Mr. Greeley began his career in this city, an unfriended, unknown, awkward and unpromising printer's lad. With the single exception of the Evenitu Iht, not one of the so-called journals of thai day was in the habit of commenting upon the topics of general interest. Advertisements, marine and police reports, the scanty news brought by the mails, or foreign ships, and communications from "Constant Reader," or from "Brutus" and "Agricola," constituted their contents. It was the fortune; we believe, of our venerable senior editor ,o introduce the practice of editorial comment on the affairs of the day, and the example was speedily followed bv others. Colonel Stone, Major Neah, Charles 'King, and more lately by Mr. Greeley, who became one of the most earnest, able and conspicuous. The Viscountess Beaconsfield, wife of Dis raeli, is seriously ill.
