A Reason for Evkkytiiino.—A couple of
students ol Williams College went over to
North Adams on a bender. Alter indulging
more freely than would probably be practi
cable in that well regulated community in
those days ol reform, they set off to loot it
buck to Williiiinstown, a walk ol some six
or eight miles. This would have been a seri
ous matter under the best ot circumstances,
but with a brick in each of their huts, it was
a performance not lobo accomplished with
out great difficulty. To make mutters worse,
it began to rain hard as they started, mid
soon they were soaked to the skill from

Joe Bean had sullered most from th-

“I should think it did. some," replied Ben.
Joe soon brought up all standing und ask

Once more ho repeated, and Ben brought

The siitht of an American Riilwny Map, to u-*'-
a viil^uiism, "quite takes one aback." An impres
sion is produced rather akin to what v« receive
when a friend whom we have not cast eyes on for
fifteen or twenty years come ncr'satis,and reminds
us forcibly of tin* fact “how old we are getting,"
Here is a part of the world which we have scarcely
left off picturing to ourselves ns aboriginal ami
fresh from rite great net of Urea (ion finnplrtoly in-
terwerted hv railways. Omitting nil the ii.tfcrmodi-
nto stages between Chaos nnd Bradshaw, it inis ta
ken a violent leap into time, nnd from tile very first
seized h dJ of the intent re-ults’bf civili/.ition. A
network of 20,000 miles of railway now rovers the
Uni tod .States. 1'his Ins been nefcotn|di' , hrd prin
cipally by Irish labor, and it is unnecessary in say
that the cost of construction hss bean very Hinnll,
compared with lit A in this country. The sum #»
articie of the difference in the value nl land would,
of course, make nit enormous difference. The cost
of cons'ructinn per mile on tin* New York ami Mas
sachusetts Railways has been ten to twelve thou
sand pounds, ns compared w ilh thirty-live thousand
pounds on British Railways. We quole^tlo

The clieapnesH of land has been on » ureal cause,
ns we have just ■'aid, of this sudden nnd wonder
ful creation, m.-rc p ir'.ieularly us grants of land arc
often made especially in the Wei tern Stales. Let
us take theJllinois Central Railway as nil example
of this method ot railway making. Congress grant
ed ta the State of Illinois 2,(iU5,00l) acres. The
vacant Linds in alternate sections, within six miles
of (fin road were conveyed hy direct terms in t.ic
grant, und, in lieu of such portions uh had been
previously sold selections were authorized to lie
made between six and l* r > miles on oarli uido of the
road. Tho Company raised 20,000,000 dollars by
mortgage upon the security of this land ri serving,
however, 250,000 acres towards the annual pay
ment of the intcn Kt. At tin* same time they call
in 25 per cn.t. of n capital stock of 17,000.000 dol
lars. This pays for the lllinuit, Central Railway,
which is therefore, in fact given to tho Company,
with tho exception of the quarter which they take
from their own stock. The State only charge 7
per cent, on tho piollls of the railway as a compen
sation for its gift ot land, and thus a railway of
250 miles, whic.li forms the backbone of Illinois
und connects Cairo with Dubuque, is built nl a cost
to tin* company of •1,500,000 dollars.
But the most remarkable feature which the re
port brings out is the energy uud impetus with
which the Americans have rushed in media* rv.vnt
once in the construction of their railways. This
explains tlie rapidity uml the aittull cost of this vnat
work more than tlie cheapness of land or grants of
land. There are some persons who cannot begin

The I co Trade.
Heme curious facts arc given in the Boston Tran
►-tipi in regard t.i the trade in ice. They are ta
ken from the report made by n committee of the
Board of Trade, nnd they show how the common
elements from which we are often forced to protect
ourselv. s may, by energy nnd enterprise, ho con
vened into Hoiirccs of wealth
"The fir*t fdiiprnont of ice from Boston was made
in INnfi, of 130 tuns, to Martinique, hy Frederic
Tudor, per brig Favorite, belonging to himself, ami
purchased expressly for the purpose. The lee was
taken from a pond on the grounds of Mr. Tudor's
iutlicr, in the port of Lynn now Saugus, The sec
ond shipment was mado in 1H07, of 240 tons, per
hr; : Trident, to Havana. These enrly attempts
were attended with heavy losses ; but the business
struggled against all manner of discouragement
for twenty years. During that period the embargo
was laid, and the wur with Great Britain took
piece. Success finally crowned the undertaking
by the action of the Spanish Government in Culm
in grat.ting certain privileges and a monopoly.
"Until about the year l83fl the trade was almost
wholly curried tin hy tho originator, when other
parties engaged in it; and it ho* tiecn attempted
IV"m other places than Boston, hut withoutsuceeHs.
Tho facilities for cheap supplies of ice and low
freights keep the trade where il began, and at tho

the opinion that this trade has been, without doubt,
one of tho main stays which preserved the Calcutta
trade almost exclusively to Boston, mid it would do
bo lor China if that country were in a more quiet

“Tho Big Hlnck Boar.’*
During the last Presidential canvass, the Hon.
II. W. Hilliard related an ouocdote, which
somewhat thus: There was u man in one of
Western States who purchased u tavern, on w
trout was painted, ns Large ns life, a big “Black
Hear." 'The purchaser did not like Ihe sign. Hi»
better tnr,to suggested an Hugh, wliieh he had paint
ed light on the sp> l whero the “Big Black Bear”
stood. 'Tha Bear was obscured—thrown into the
shade by thu Eagle—but, when tbo firct heavy
rani fell, tlie Eugh* disappeared, and tic* Big Black
li nr stood on* in hi* former glory. Tho Eagle
was | ainted again, but its history was the sama ns
before—the old hear refused to be obliterated.—
Thus, Haul Mi. Hilliard, will it lie with Mr. Uurl,-
unail, lie is the old “Black Uour,” whom the
Democracy are trying to transform n^t.i an Eagle.
Bui they can’t do it, said hit. Let him he elect-
