,'sn:'i I :rICIIMOD, f-'n-r-Tit Great Railroad to tho-Far West Fe Wof Jua have . snSciently . considered the effect - upon the country of the completion of the ruilroad to the Pacific. We may imsgine the rich streams of commerce flowing back and forth across our continent, interchanging the pro ducts of China and ..Bast Indies with 1 Western En rope, which now have to find their way round the southern capes by. a route four times the distance. The opening of a railroad line between the Atlantic and the11 Pacific Oceans will give us the shortest road round the world, one which Las the advantage of lying within the same temperate zone. We have the shortest road and the best road to the East. This, however, is the least important benefit to follow the es tablishment of the great highway. An immense population must spring np along the Tine of the ' road Itself. ' Ex perience shows that steam roads create their own business ; they are, in fact. among the principal agencies for open ing up, civilizing, and improving the wilderness. . - Of the 1,750 miles between the Missouri River and the Western coast which, up to the beginning of the war, were traversed only by the stage ccach ana mule -team. 400 had been spanned by the iron road on the 1st of January last, the greater portion of it during the past year. Now that the energies and capital of the nation are somewhat un fettered by the close of the struggle for the national life, we may expect this great national work to make rapid strides. full third of our territory will hereby be broaght within easy access, and ren dered astonishingly productive".. Nature, as if in her'economy Bhe had determined nothing should be altogether useless, has placed In the rugged Western moun tain ranges, and among the arid deserts of the interior Western plains, rich seams and veins of the metals which by common consent have become the world's standards of value. The United States have more of this mineral wealth, as well as more coal and iron than the rest of the world together;' arid it needs only the facilities of access, labor, - machinery, aad home comforts- to" render us' four times as productive of gold and silver as we have been. " ' " ' ...The roau as most rcaJers know, is beina built from hoth ends bv twr -uiaunct r-oTnpames,fach stiti;fe uuimaa fast and as far as it can ; the Government granting its credit and aid to both,, according to the progress and dinlculties of'the road. The national subsidy, which is practically a donation, in return for tho military and commercial advantages the road is to confer on the nation :it largej is reckoned to be about half the cost of. building the entire line ; the other half, together with the cost of equipment, will be abundantly provided for by private capial, which will seek such an investment. The road must be built ; the intermediate territories are languishing for it ; and half a million of our kinsfolk, and their families on this side, are impatient for it. The necessary means will no doubt be forth coming1 as fast as it is needed, because no otLer enterprise of the same magnitude offers half the prospects of immediate prosperity." 1 ''" " The Californians, on their end of the line, have shown great sagacity and determination. Already they have' reached,in the first one hundred miles, the top of the formidable mountain range, and in July next will bo near the great Nevada silver mining regions. The local traffic already" existing npon this incompleted fragment is astonishingly lucrative. During the three Autumn months of 1866, when the freight could be forwarded Across the mountains, the earnings were at the rate of 31,400,000 a year in gold ; and it is reasonable to assume that when the whole mountain district is crossed (ldr miles,) the gross earnings will be over $3,000,000 a year, of which, according to past experience, tice-tAirde.tdill be uet earnings,, applicable to .the payment of interests upon , its bonded debt and for further construction. The former, by reason of the munificent Government and State aid, is extremely light in proportion , to its resources... : The interest dues incurred by the Company ia building aad. equiping the L50 miles to the California State line will be but 9545,160 or , aboul 2 per cent, upon its cost, and on the remain ing six hundred miles across the plains the ratio will not be larger. - Of course, with each present and prospective returns, added to the fact that most of its obstacles laare been overcome, no dsubt remains cf its speedy .completion, and of. .the stability, ofthe . Company ,ksecuritienow in the market.. .. The. presentyear. will probably 8see five . hundred pules,, of. the gap closed.-The sInde.

WATXE CO.,

A Man Chased by Wolves. A traveler in the hyperboreay regions of Cr.nada relates the following thrillfno; escape from wolves,- whose ferocity is only equaled by their cowardice. Skating, solitary, and at night, on one of the great rivers, he says: All of a 6iidden a sound arose; it seemed from the very ice bereath ray feetIt was load and tremendous at first, until it ended in a long yell. I was appalled. - Never before had such a sound met my ear. i tnougnt u more man . . a a a 1 mortal so fierce, and amid such sn tinbroken solitude, that it seemed a fiend from bell had blown a blast from the infernal trumpet- Presently I heard the twigga on the shore snap as if from the tread of some animal, and the blood: rushed back to my forehead with a bound that made my skin burn. ' My energies returned, and I looked around me for some means of defense. The moon shone throngh the opening by which I had entered the forest, and. considering this the best means of escape, I darted toward it like an arrow. It was hardly a hundred yards distant, and the swallow could scarcely outstrip my desperate flight; yet, as I turned my eyes to the shore, I could see two dark objects dashing throngh the underbush at a pace nearly double mine. By their great speed, and tii e short yells which they occasionally gave, I knew at once that they were the much-dreaded gray wolf. The bushes that skirted the shore, flew ; past with thet velocity of light, as I dash ed on in nay nizht. The outlet was nearly gained one second . more and I should be comparatively safe when my pursuers appeared on the bank directly above me, which rose to the height of some ten feet. There was uo time for thought; I bent my head, and dashed wildly forward. The wolves sprang; but" miscalculating my speed, sprans behind, whilst their intend.! rirw trli.l.1 cut it,- tii rir f - J O -v-w v m v m " w a s va Nature turned me toward home. The igLt flakes of snow spun from the iron of my skates, and I was now some dis tance from my pursuers, when their fierce howl told me that I was again the fugitive. I did not look back; I did not feel sorry or clad ; one thought of home, if they should never see ' ir-.e.again, and', then my ..energy of body aiid mind was, exerted for my escape. - I was perfectly at home on the ice. Many were the daj-s I spent on the skates, never thinking that at one time they would be my only means of safety. Every half minute an alternate yelp from my pursuers made. me but too cer tain they were close at my heels. Near-.' er and nearer they came; I heard their feet pattering on the ice nearer still, until I fancied I could hear their deep breathing. Every nerve and muscle in my frame was stretched to the utmost tension. The trees along the shore seemed to dance in the uncertain light; and my brain turned with my own breathless speed, when an involuntary motion turned me out of my course. The wolves, close behind, unable to stop, aad as unable to turn, slipped, fell still going on far ahead, their tongues lolling out, their white tusks gleaming from their bloody mouths, their dark, shaggy breasts freckled with foam ; and as they passed me, their eyes glared, and they bowled with rage and fury. The thought flashed on my mind that by this means . I could ; avoid them viz : by turning aside whenever they came too near; for they, by the formation of their feet, are unable to run on ice except in a right line. I .immediately acted on this plan. , . The wolves having regained their feet sprang toward me. . The race was renewed for twenty j-ard3 up the stream; they were already, close on my back, when I glided round," end dashed past them. A fierce howl greeted my evolu tion, and the wolves slipped upon their haunches, and sailed onward, presenting a perfect picture of helplessness and baffled rage. 3 ,Thus I gained nearly a hundred yards each turning. "This was repeated two or three times, every moment the wolves getting more excited and baffled, until, coming opposite the house, a couple of stag-hounds, aroused by the noise, bayed furiously from their kernels. The wolves, taking the hint, stopped in their mad career ; and, after a moment's consideration, turned and fled. ' I watched them till their dusky forms disappeared over a neighboring lull; then, taking off my skates, I wended my way to the hOGSC jrjA;u K ";. KirJi The Central wEd ucational Committee has determined to hold four Normal Institutes, dsrmg the Summer, in different parts of the State. Richmond and Terre Haute have already been selected as the places forr holding two of them. The others have noi been announced. "l '

iOD'S, THY COUNTRY'S AND TRUTH'S- J WfTT0;-CAL SCCilYY?

MAY 16, 1867. ; I A Path to Fortune n 5 "L BX TUKODOKB TILTOS. j I used to think that Mr. Greeley was ungenerous in advising yonng men not to sek their fortunes in the great cities, bat in the country districts; particnlarly as he himself had come from a country district, and found his fortune in great " city. But a winter's travel through both country and city has convinced me that ? his oft repeated .views on this subject, ( and his special earnestness in the advo- " f cacv are abundantly justified br the ? fac, .- ,-; . I left behind me ia New York thons ands of young men, struggling hard to get a footing: in the world earning scarce ly enongh to keep soul and body to- ( gether, yet who, if they had the courage ! to conquer a new country, might easily achieve for themselves that moderate wealth which is always and every where i the best of good fortune. Every great American city, at the presv : ent moment, ' nvprrim with anitlir-anta for gOTnethi to do QQKg0t lik, Xew Vnrlr . ... , 'un I aw v uvva it iku J Q saiVH ww uv : have flocked to it, like moths to a candle, only to be devoured by the flame. The devil's chief temptation to aoung man in the West is to prompt him to keep a J store. "Buv a stock of ffoods " sars the great adversary. And of the multitudes who listen to the suggestion nearly all are ensnared.' The prospect appears brilr liant; but the result proves fatal. , It is not an understatement to say that , the majority of Western farmers succeed A more accurate statement would be, that ' with the exception of a small minority of Western merchants, all fail; while, . with the exception of a small minority of Western farmers, all succeed. In view of these undisguised and warning i facts, it is astonishing to see so many i young men who, on coming from the East to the West, to begin a career, wreck themselves at the outset of delib- ' erately choosing the wrousr Channel to i success. ' i I was walking with an experienced merchant around the market square of a t Western town, to whom I happened to j put the question, "How many of the hundred and twenty business firms around j this square do ypu personally know ? i IlLfcpoT "JiH.VJie!!;epJiesl1,."Hi,V 1 ness ?" -Only three!" He then explained that these three were growing rich; , that a dozen others were earning a living; j but that the great majority of the remainidermust sooner or later, one after an- ' other, drop into bankruptcy. On the contrary, almost every old es tablished farmer whom I met in the West has told me such tales as this: T came here ten (or perhaps fifteen) 3'ears ago, worth five hunderd dollars, (or perhaps nothing,) and now I can sell my proper -ry for a dozen or twenty thousand dollars." Thus it almost seems as if a store were an open gate to failure, and a farm an open road to success, It requires an unusual aptitude of mind to conduct mercantile business. This aptitude is possessed by so few that every beginner ought to take for granted that he does not hold the talisman, until he finds by an unmistakable instinct that he is really one of the few and fortunate masters of the knack. I do not mean to say that the man who can not be a merchant can . be a farmer. .Mother Earth is a good judge of men ; she will not yield her crops to the thriftless and the inefficient. But the farmer runs a fewer risks than the merchant. The farmer gives a safe credit to God and Nature; the merchant gives an unsafe credit to man. ; The seed time knows that its promise will be fulfilled by the hat vest; but a promissory note of band never can know whether its promiss is to be broken or not.1 . j ' Freemasonry. The lodge of Glasgow, (Scotland) St. John No. 2, has recently celebrated the SC9th anniversay of its . existence, it having been erected "by charter from King Malcolm. in 1057. We should like to see the muster roll ' of the loge be

ginning more than eight centuries ago, and running along with the ages to the present time. What kings and kingdoms have risen and perished since the gavel was first sounded in the East! How the world has changed, and what progress has been made in science and arts. Eight hundred years in the life-time of a lodge ! . : - l At a recent Masonic installation at Tiffin, Ohio, Dr. J. C. O'Connor presented a Masonic apron of lamb skin which was worn by General Washington. The apron had upon its face what is. Masonic ally known as the Master's Carpet, in bronze. : Upon ' the left hand pillar is part of the Latin proverb "Sit : 1 nxet fruHT: fAnd God said let there be light; and there was light., Oa the right band pillar was the Latin inscription, "A ode, vide, tace,"- Hear thou; see thou, but peak riot and give no token or sign. --iQ.il': A i ?i i i,.:;.:7ti.. ; 7---1

Waal Namsrr , , IS.. The Ship of Death. , a(r ,f Since the time when tho Ancient Mariner told the terrible tale of the curseladen ship with her crew of gaatly corpses, no more thrilling story of the sea has been relatad than that of the whale ship Diana, that recently drifted into one of the Shetland Islands. ... A year ago she left the Shctlands on a whaling voyage to the Arctic regions, i having on board fitty men. From that ' time nothing iore was heard of her. The friends of those on board became alarmed. Money was raised and premiums offered to the first vessel that would bring tidings of the missing ship, but all to no avail. Hope was almost abandoned.' ; On the 2 J of April the people . near Pona's Voe, in cue of the Shetland Isles, were startled at seeing a gastly wreck of a ship sailing into the harbor. Battered and ice-crushed, sails and cordage oat sway, boats and spars cut up for fuel ia the terrible Arctic winter, her decks covered with dead and dying, the long lost Diana sailed in like a ship from the Dead man's Land. Fifty men sailed out of Lerwick ia her on a bright May morning last year. All of the fifty earn back in her on the second of April, this year ; the same, yet how different. I Ten men, of whom the Captain .was one, lay stiffened corpses on the deok j thirty-rive lay helplessly sick, and some dying ; two retained sufficient strength to creep aloft; and the other three crawled feebly about the deck. The ship was boarded by the islanders, and . as they climbed over the bulwarks the, man at the wheel fell fainting from excitement ; one of the sick died as he lay, his death being announced by the fellow occupant of his berth feebly moaning Take away this dead man." On the bridge of the vessel lay the body of the Captain, as it had lain for four months, with nine of. his dead shipmates by his side, all de cently luid out by those who soon expected to share their fate. The survivors could not bear to sink the bodies of their comrades Into the' sea, but kept tbenf so that when the last man died the fated ship that had been ' their common home shofdd be their common tomb! The surgeon' of the ship worked faith fully to the last, buteold, hunger, scurhim. ' The brave old Captain was the first victim, and died blessing his men. Then the others fell, one by one, until the ship was tenanted only by the dead and dying. One night more at sea would have left the Diana a floating coffin. Nat one of the fifty would have lived to tell the ghastly tale. Eight to Sixteen. Lord Shaftesbury lately stated in a public meeting in London that from persoual observation, he had ascertained that of adult male criminals in that city, nearly all had fallen into a course of crime between the ages of eight and sixteen years; that if a young man lived an honest life up to twenty years of age there were forty-nine chances in favor and one against him, as to an honorable life thereafter. ' This is a fact of singular importance to fathers and mothers, and shows a fearful responsibility. Certainly parents should secure and exercise absolute control over a child under sixteen. It cannot be a difficult matter to do this, except in very rare cases, and if that control is not very wisely snd effldeutly exercised, it must be the parent's fault ;'; it 1s owning to parental neglect or remissiness. Hence the Teal 5 source-of -crime in a country as; England or theUnited States lies at the door of the par-) ents. It :!s a" fearful reflection! We" throw it before the minds of the mothers : and fathers or cur land, and there leave it to be thought of in wisdom, remark-; ing only as to the early' seeds of bodily, disease that they are, in nearly every k case, sown between sundown and bedtime, in absence from the family circle ; ; ia the supply of spending ' money never earned , by the ; spender opening the. doors of confectioneries and soda foantains, of beer and tobacco and wine shops of the circus, the' negro "minstrels, the restaurant and dance; then follows the, Sunday drive, with the easy transition, to the company of those whose ways lead to the gates of social physical and moral ruin.

Pollard, of Richmond, said reeentlr to a Northern gentleman : "Negro "suffrage is a dirty weapon, but you have p"t it into our hands, and we mean to beat your braina oat with it." ; Lucy Stone is creating quite a" feeling ' in the State ' of Kansas on women's rights. It is believed that the proposi -tion to strike out from the State Constitution the words white and male will both be carried this fall. A Moths, trying to get her little daughter of three years to sleep, said to her, "Anna, why don't you try to go to sleep?" " . "I am trying," she replied. " But you haven't shut your eyes." " Well, can't help it; 'ura's come tinbuttoned." ' . .' ".." .'"."' A haunted house in Saginaw.Michigan, from which the ghost had driven several families who attempted to occupy it duriug the last three yeara, by irrepressible noises, has been taken possession of by a deaf man, and the spirits will have to resort to some other mean's than noise to rout him. " The result is anxiously watched by believers in the marvelous. A man named DeLong in ordered a widow Knapp, near the village of Wellington, Cuyahoga county, , Ohlo,Ll' on Tuesday, and afterward killed himself. The pair had been improperly intimate for some time, and the woman obtained a loan of 600 'from DeLong, bui afterthe money. Enraged at this, he shot her and then finished Ma own miserable i existence. . Srr.v 'y li V- : ' r-. ) -A man who was digging in a lot in Patterson, New Jersey, brought ' to light thirty-one popper plates ou various banks. Each plate was carefully wrapped up in a separate piece of paper, and the whole was labelled -1866." On nearly all of them the amount of the note left blank, so that the plate could be used for any denomination. They are all on State, and mostly ori New England banks.' The notorious blackguard, Brick Pom- -eroy, who writes most of the editorials t going . the rounds of the Democratic press, has "changed his base, and, is r advocating negro suffrage! Near Macon, Ga .on the 26th ult, he tried in his speech to make the negroea believe the . Democrats had 'always been their best' riends! A Democratic Candidate begged ' far their vote on : the ground that be was so near their own color! We expect soon to hear of Democratic candidates blacking their faces and kinking their 7 hair, but even this won't save them. ' ,W observe a- statement in snndry Democratic papers' to the effect "that ' Henry Ward Beeeher.ran 'hundredsjjof votes", behind his ticket. , It is only just , to say that this is entirely untrue- . Mr. Beecher received many more rotes, than the Republican State ticket in his district ; and the only foundation for the opposite statement Is that Judge Reynolds, who was associated with hrm on the local ticket, ran about 50 votes aheadowing to his popularity among Democratic lawyers. Mr. Beecher" s name drew out hundreds' of i Republicans who " would otherwise net have voted at all, and the Democratic majority was' redoced from ' 100 last Fall to 800 now. New York Tribune.
