patronage already extended, which far

exceeds our most sanguine expecta

deny ourselves the pleasure of repub

be forgotten.

11A IIJ IIO A I) CON SOL IDA TION. The final result of the process of railroad consolidation which has been going 011 in the United States for several years, has been cause for alarm with many. The instances in which corporations of this kind have been able to influence and control State legislation have been numerous and, of course, alarming. It has seemed at times that the capital thus concentrated wouUl ultimately become the most dangerous foe to the liberties of »thc people, not only because of the extraordinary privileges corporations would be able to purchase, but because of their corrupting and demoralizing influence upon the times. It looked as (hough the genius of free government, triumphant in battle, and all kinds of heroic contests, would have to succumb to the influence of the Nation's idol, the Almighty Dollar. There is good ground for believing that consolidated wealth is antagonistic to the liberties of the people. Yet the hand of the favoring providence that has guided us through perils steadily forward to fulfill a grand destiny, was never shown more plainly than in the means being opened up to save us from ruin by consolidated capital.

Competition is the word. It is coming to this—that all paying roads will have rivals in competition with which prices will be cut down to the minimum and profits cease to be large. Only recently the New York Central reduced live stock freight to one dollar per ear, and the fare from this city to Eastern cities is now lower than it has ever been, in consequence of competition. The requirements of the country are inexorable. Through lines are needed for the convenience and comfort of the people, and to accommodate the fast growing trade. Local interests must give way to general interests.

Rapid and convenient intercourse brings the people closer together, and strengthens that unity which is necessary to our existence.

The location of our city is particularly fortunate in respect to railroad competition. Two great rival routes connect us with the East ami West. We will have the benel't of all the "cutting" on rates, and feel none of the evils of consolidated capital because these corporations will be steadily engaged watching each other.

Aiiorr JOHN.

Tin: New York World objects to the employment of Chinamen in Massachusetts, on the ground that the articles manufactured will cost just as much as heretofore, while the employer is paying the Chinamen less than their predecessors who are on the sfrike." Well, is it not the way of the world? We remember that, not long ago, the ll'oi'W came out in a two column double-leaded leader, asking if there was not enough inventive genius in the United States to perfect a machine that would do the work of luilf-a-dozen compositors in setting type. Why did the

World wish such a machine? Simply because it thought that it would lo cheaper than living human beings.

The "strikers," who were nearly if not quite all foreigners, had a right to do as they choose in the matter. They "struck." but with such force that, like the Boomerang, it recoiled upon their own heads. Of course, the proprietors of the establishment at North Adams had the right to do as they saw prudent. As the natural result of being jossesseil of this "inalienable right," their manufactory, who would work 1 ne.'tioji with the 4th of July, 1S70?

for less wages and at the same time do their work equally as good. Bah! it is all human nature, and the World is a precedent for the actions of Messrs. Lawson A Co., of North Adains.

If we may judge from the excitement created among the poor classes in the State of Massachusetts, a gigantic hydra, in the shape of Chinamen, is encroaching upon the interests of the laboring man. It is true that the Chinaman is an indispensable auxiliary to the laboring class of white men, who are comparatively diminutive in numbers, in the Pacific States, particularly of California, having contributed largely in the labor-economy of building the Pacific Railroad and no one has been heard express a dissenting voice. But on emigrating to Massachusetts in sufficient numbers, great alarm, as above stated, is the result. According to their views of the subject, thero is certainly some foundation for anxiety.

Instead of constructing railroads, like their brethren of the Pacific Coast, they are employed as peg-drivers or shoemakers in some of the manufacturing establishments of the Atlantic States. But who were the laborers employed before them, and why did they not retain their situations? They were not Americans, nor foreigners, were French-Canadians. A little difficulty in the matter of remuneration for services rendered, between these foreigners and their employes having occurred, they struck work and a suspension of business followed. It then remained for the employers to secure such services as were required at the figures previously paid, if possible. I hey found a panacea for the evil in the Chinaman.

There is certainly one item in favor of employing Chinamen. Wc refer to their strict compliance with the letter and spirit" of their contract. We remember once having read the story of an American employing a Chinaman tailor to make him a coat out of a specified piece of goods. The American sent his old coat, which happened to be patched on the elbow, with implicit directions to make it like the old one. Judge of his surprise when the new garment Avas returned, beholding a patch 011 the elbow. They resemble monkeys in their imitativeness. They work lower than white men and do their work fully as well.

It should bo remembered that we have taken into our confederation representatives of nearly all nations and classes of human beings, yet John Chinaman lias heretofore had to take a back seat. As to his being a barbarian, as some of his opponents have already stated, there.is either a willful intention to misrepresent the character of the Chinaman, or profound ignorance of his history. They arc equally culpable. Libel detracts nothing from merit, and only serves to exasperate the community when one presumes on its ignorance. How can they, be barbarians when philosophy, the art of printing and gun-powder are as memorials of the existence of their intelligence forages?

If they are contented to toil for small recompense, who shall say nay? It is unmanly to leave a situation and then grumble at one's successor because he works for even less than was received bv him. We hardly think that any American will starve by reason of the importation of Chinamen, but would much prefer that Americans should occupy the situations.

THE ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION. Telegraphic dispatches rccciATcd from dill'erent portions of Illinois arc of such a character as to justify us in stating that the new Constitution, together with all its separate clauses, has been adopted by a large majority. Wc are surprised at the apparent indifference exhibited on so momentous a question, as the full Aote of the State Avas not polled.

While it is in many respects superior to the old Constitution, as regardsf economy it can hardly be denominated a success. It increases tho salaries of the Judges about $100,000 it increases the number of Represcntati\*es one hundred it creates two new offices in every county in the State, and it increases the general expenses of the State governhient more than $300,000.

But then it altogether does away Avith special legislation, or that Avhich is detrimental to a majority of its inhabitants, Avhich has been carried to such an unwarrantable extent, and Avhich of itself ought to be sufficient to secure its approA*al. The clause binding the Illinois Central railroad to pay into the State Treasury SCA CU per cent, of its Avhole earnings, so that this magnificent sum becomes a fixed fact to the State, and beyond the control of legislation to eA'cr release the company from its payment, should cause an OA-er-Avhelming majority to be cast in its fa-A-or. The minority representation clause had a powerful sway in A-arious parts of the State, and is doubtless carried, but AVC see no definite benefit or harm arising from its adoption. It Avas more than six months in process of construction, and cost the State at least one thousand dollars per day, which would have been throAvn away of course, if it had been defeated.

On the Avhole, AVC think the people of Illinois haA-e secured a much better Constitution than the old one, and all that now remains is to deriA'e as much iHMiefit from it as possible.

THE medical gentlemen who have examined the

THE SKY.

Why is the blue sky so grandly arched above our heads The ancient Greeks supposed it to bo a solid substance, spread above the earth at an immense height, in which the sun, moon and stars were set like diamonds in a ring. The upper surface was laid with gold—the pavement of the gods. In pagan countries somewhat similar notions still prevail. A converted heathen said he thought the sun, moon and stars were holes in the solid sky, through which came streaming down to earth the brightness and glory of the heavenly world. But, in reality, the sky is nothing more than the air we breathe. Instead of the solid arch, towering so many thousand miles above us, where our childish fancy put it, the blue sky is nothing but the color of the ocean of air in which Ave liAre and move. And, as to the distance from us, it is all within three or four miles. For traArellers, who go upon high mountain tops, tell us that they no longer see any blue sky above them there, Avhere the air is so thin that they pant for breath, but only the blackness of empty space. But, it may be asked, Avhy do Ave not see the blue color of air Avhen Ave look up to the ceiling of our rooms? Why do Ave not have a blue sky in the house as Avell as out of doors The answer is that some substances, of Avliich air is one, do not SIIOAV their color except in the mass. Take apiece of glass, pour upon it a single drop of ink noAV press upon it another piece of glass, and hold them both pressed together up to the light. Scarcely any color of the ink can be seen. The' poet says 'Tis distance lends enchantment to the

And robes the mountain witli its azure hue." But philosophy, that great enemy to poetry, steps up, and tells us that it is not the mountain's blue AA'e see, but only the air, Avhich, like a misty curtain, hangs betAveen us and the mountains.

FINK DRESSING.—Appleton's Journal thinks that the Avearing of fine dresses by cliurcli-going ladies is not such a reprehensible practice after all. It says "Man and Avoman in pure linen, in unstained apparel, in choice personal adornment, have a sense of dignity and elevation Avhich those in slovenly garb do not experience. And it is no particular sin if this sort of elevation is carried a little too far. Pride, of course, often enters into fine dressing, and many, Avomen particularly, are fond of Haunting their fine feathers in people's faces but a great majority love handsome dressing in obedience to an instinct of refinement—in consequence of that sense of personal purity which accompanies the Avearing of choice apparel—and hence AVO see perfect congruity in the Avell-drcssed crowds that pour through the streets on Sundays, Avending their way to the place of prayer —and o\ir most fashionable congregations, if exhibiting too much of ultra elegance, CAren if shoAvkig unmistakably the presence of pride and Arainglory in too largo a proportion for the spiritual Avelfare of the Avorsliippers, haA'C yet an air of sobriety, are reverential in manner, at least—conditions that seem to have been somewhat different in former times, if AVC can credit Mr. J. C. Jcatt'reson, AVIIO, in his new book about the clergy, gives us some striking pictures of church assemblies in tho olden time."

CHINESE WEAPONS.—A correspondent Avriting from China gives the folloAving ludicrous description of the Aveapons used by that nation: "I have seen the arms once used by the Chinese at the storming of the forts at the mouth of the Pclho. The first sight SIIOAVS the helplessness of this ,-ast empire of 320,000,000 of population Avhen it comes in contact Avith European science and arms and discipline on the battlo field. They remind me of the scenes of my boyhood, Avhen all the boys of my country village Avere armed Avith Avooden locks and flints, Avhich could snap, if they could not fire. They are ignorant "of the rifle and percussion cap, and CACII of the flint once used in its place. The gun is a matchlock, and of such formidable dimensions and Aveight as to need Avheels to carry it, instead of on their OAVII shoulders. It is almost impossible to raise and level it, so great is its Aveight and often another man, kneeling before him, Avho loads and fires, bears the end of the gun upon his shoulder. The matchlock, in cumbersomcncss, is fciirly in keeping Avith the barrel and stock, some inflammable material, Avhich is kept constantly burning, taking tho place of flint."

AN IRATE NATURALIST.—Thelate Dr. N. W. Taylor, the noted New Haven theologian, Avas an obstinate defender of the literal interpretation of the six days of creation in the Book of Genesis, as against the idea of six long periods of time Avhich Professor Silliman adA*ocates. One day Professor Silliman took Dr. Taylor into the geological cabinet, and confronted him with sundry trilobites in rocks of the lower strata, and said,

SINGULAR ELECTRICAL PHEIK) NON.—There are two Atlantic cable mm* tions on the Island of St. Pierre—one1, belonging to a French company, employ "exceedingly delicate instalments and the other belonging American company, Avhich use tu© Morse signals and'a powerful battery? The instruments of the French company have for a long time been seriously disturbed by earth currents, the cause of which Avas at first a mystery. It Avas afterAvard found out that the great battery used by the American company charged and discharged the Avhole island as if it Avere a Leyden jar. It was further discovered that by a proper manipulation of the French instruments every message sent by the American company could be read in the French office, the only connection between the lines being the earth.

OIL OP LOVE.—There are households Avhere each member taken by himself or herself, has many virtues, but the household is more or less constantly discontented. Though conscious of high motives and thorough Avork, noAv this member, now that, is put out and uncomfortable. The tone ot its morality is high. Perhaps family prayers, priA'ate devotions, and public worship are scrupulously observed. No bad language passes no untruth is told no household duty is neglected no impurity or intemperance tolerated. All is clean, correct, and refined. But it works ill, Avith heat and jarring. It Avants the oil of love, without which the best intentions or the most strenuous propriety goes amiss. .it

DRAWING-ROOM CAR FOR ARISTOCRATIC HORSES.—The NCAV York Central railroad has among its other appointments for public convenience special car designed for the transportation of valuable horses. Its interior is divided into tAVO box stalls fitted up Avith all the appointments necessary to complete equine luxury. This car is attached only to express trains for the accommodation of horsemen able to pay for the safe and speedy transportation of tlieir pets.

KEEPING CLEAN.—The Avoman^ in Maine who scrubbed her floor so often that she broke through into the cellar, and the one Avhom Josh Billings describes—AVIIO makes such efforts to be neat that she keeps the house in continual confusion and dirt—have found their match in Pennsylvania, Avhere a woman Avho has a monomania on the subject of house cleaning, frequently sAveeps oft* the roof, and rubs doAvn the sAveeps chimneys.
