Savannah'* Railroad .Policy.
We havo given already a brief report of tho
proceedings of Ihe Brunswick and Florida Hail
toad Company at their meetiug on the 15th iust
Theso proceedings, when taken in connection
with the spirit manifested on tho occasion, pre
sents matter for grove consideration by the peo
ple of. Savannah.
It is known that the fate of the Alain Trunk
scheme, even, after the bill becamo a law, was
in tho hands of tho Brunswick and Florida and
the Savannah Albany and Gulf Companies
Either could, by withholding tho required re
lease, prevent a State subscription. Without
such subscription the bill is a nullity.
In accordance with intimations previously
given out, but uot credited in this city, or cred
ited only by a fow, the Brunswick Directory and
Stockholders last Thursday, by the adoptiou ol
the report of their President, declined to give
the required release. More than this. Con
tracts wero made and duly announced on that
occasion for grading and furnishing with a
wooden superstructure a section of tho Bruns
wick road extending nearly seventy nulcs beyond
the proposed initial point of the Main Trunk
line. The contractors, with the exception of
Messrs, Collins and Alexander, are planters
along tho Bruuswiek survey—men deeply inter
ested, not so much in one road over another as
in a road running over the track laid out by the
Brunswick Compauy. This action we deem fa
tal to the Main Trunk scheme.
Bruuswiek not only declines giving the re.
qulred release—it Is proceeding to appropriate
to itself the route most warmly advocated for
the Main Trunk, Those controlling her destiny
believe that, having passed tire Satllla,they can-
with the aid furnished by the planters, build
their road to Thomasville, branching to Alba
ny—without assistance from the State Treasury.
And we are oftheir opinion. They believe fur
ther, that wero a conection made between the
roads from Savannah and Brunswick at tho
"Initial point,” or even at Waresboro’, produce
coming from the west, over the common track,
would be drawu to Savannah by tho superior
advantages in point of capital and business ap,
pllances enjoyed by this city. And here too-
they jndge wisely. Again they say that as their
work, already done, makes it necessary for them
to connect with the Main Trunk near Wareslw
ro—some thirty miles beyond the "Initial point”
—they would not share equally in the advan
tages of the State’s subscription—in other words
that most of her $500,000 would be expended
before the Main Trunk could be carried to the
point where their interest would commence—
and thus inure alone to the boneilt of Savan
nah.
Based on these, or other reasons, the senti.
ment of Brunswick is unquestionably averse to
the surrender of her rights on auy terms not
humiliating and degrading to Savannah. We
say this under the settled impression that we
speak the truth, and only the truth.
What then remains for Savaunah and the S.
A. and G. R. It Company ? It is a grave ques
tion— and we aro perhaps presumptuous in at
tempting to answer it—shall we content our
selves with an effort to cross the Brunswick
road—and thus draw off freight destined for
Brunswick? Can this bo done simply by
crossing that road? We think not. Besides,—
the Brunswick Company, determined to frus
trate the contemplated connection between Sa
vannah and Florida east of Alapaha, have in
structed their engineers to survey and locate a
branch lino over the same route—they having,
it is alledged, exclusive priviledges for twenty
miles on either side uot only of their main lino
but oftheir branches. Now whether tbisclaimbe
well founded or not, this action is worth notic
ing as an indication of the spirit which actuates
the Brunswick Company.
Without suggesting other alternatives which
we designed noticing but for fear of being pro
lix, we are brought to tho conclusion, note for
the first time, that the policy of Savannah and
of the S. A. and G. Road, is to strike directly
for Albany, and thence through Alabama for
Pensacola and Mobile. The Compauy has a
charter from Alabama in case it shall determine
to go by Albany—Me only charter in existence
fur a road across Southern Alabama—below the
line of the Mobile uud Girard Railroad.
For fear of being tedious on a dry but In*
tensely Important sutyect, wo withhold somo
considerations in favor of this policy for our
next issue.
ThoTnsty.
In the great Treaty teoenty ratlflod.at Paris,
there Is nothing very remarkable to distinguish
It Rom similar doooments, to throw dust Into
each others eyes, and to appear as assuming
a high moral figure, agreeing with a solemn
mockery, to “poaco perpetual.” The old materi
als of eant aro now fashioned to suit the second
half of the 10th century.
Why, tho international principles touching
neutrals there avowed, aro thoao for which wo
wore constrained to declare war against our
good mother England in 1812, whou she preten
ded to havo principles exactly opposite to^those
now avowed. It was her interest then—it is
now her necessity to think as we have uniform
ly thought-we wero sufferers formerly undeithor
aid principles, and now she prepares tho mode
by which she may gain, and wo must loso,
should tho "perpetual peace,” of tho world be
brokon by tho virtuous resolution of putting
au cud to private armed vessels called privateers
in war.
This policy of hors, beam a Janus like aspect,
and like a two edged weapon is to strengthen
hor naval ascendancy, tio our hands, and, as a
good old mother as she wishes us sometimes to
believe, with a veilof virtue thrown over her de
sign would make us helpless In case of war. lot
ting hor havo her way in plucking us without re
sistance, and withal giving hersolttbe credit of
tills great step In tho progress of Christian civili
zation, conferring by the acquiescence of tho
other parties to the treaty, credit on them for
their excellent motives, (considering, that they
havo littlo to gain or loso by tho change,) and
holding us up as tho exception to the civilizers
of mankind. Such is tho surfaco exposed to those
who never look below it. Such Is tho peaceful
resolution—tho crowning glory of those who
for tho last two years have destroyed tholr
scores of thousands for causes, that no ono can
clearly detino thus far.
To us is all this trumpetted forth—to us who
have been pursuing peacoful labors, and havo
only quarrelled with our good parent, when as
wo wero formerly told, wo wero kicked Into
war. It requires great effort in turning to the
post, to acquit theso treaty makers of most ogre*
American 'Wagon Iloat In France.
Air. Francis, of this city, says the Scientific
American, inveutor of the life-boat which bears
his name, has been experimenting before Louis
Napoleon on the river Seine, with his Army
Wagon Boat. The wagou was launched in tho
water, where it floated like a boat. The men
on board, to the number of sixteen, went on tho
sides without being able,‘‘.in spite of all their ef
forts, to make tho gunwale touch tho surface
of the water. Tho wagon .after that,was direct
ed into the current of the river, to show that a
heavy load could be by that means transported
from one bank to another without its being nee.
essary to take off the wheels, so that u train of
these wagons could coutlnuo to follow their
route without the least hindrance. Afterwards
the train being detached, they munceuvred tho
tumbril separately, like a raw boat. The body
of the Army Wagon is made on the life boat
principle,and is very strong. Tho Emperor was
highly pleased with the experiment.

ston Jamica Journal, for which we are indebted
to the New Orleans Daily Crescent.

giouscaut. . . ,
This matter regarding the abolition of priva
teers formed one of the philanthropic dreams of
our good Jefferson, and Mr. Monroe urged it
during his diplomatic career, but vainly. En
glish policy and English interest could not come
Into the measure of making it an international
usage. It was proposed recently, to our Cabi
net, which, smelling a rat, adroitly answered—
ns far as It goes It is very well, but It does not
go far enough; let us uot meddle at all with non-
combatants. trading ou the highway of nations;
but they liked not to destroy this incitement of
avarice to public courage, aud no more was
heard of It.
Future wars are to be conducted more vir*
tnously, aud with the proviso, they shall have
gained nil the plunder ns the reward for the
credit of the improvement In war, nnd the
American merchant would find it a source of
consolation to know that he was deprived of his
property by a ship of the Queen, and not by a
privateer. A publio gun legitimately deprives
the honest trader of his hard earned labor, and
our good cousins proudly exult that they have
thousands afloat ready to fall on, and know we
have few, very few of the same kind, by which
they could lose. Iu such a game it would not
be difficult to see the results.
But the cant of talking virtuously, how pub
lio murder and robbery are, in a Christian man
ner, to be executed, reminds us of the ancient
resolve of Master Slender in regard to intem
perance.
"I’ll ne'er be’drunk whilst I live again but in
"honest, civil,, godly company. If I be drunk,
"I'll be drunk with those that have the fear of
"God and not with drunken knaves.”
Now there is not a single American that
would not eagerly embrace the humane law of
safety to the non-combattant on the highse%s,
and his .property—-with the acknowledged ex
ceptions of munitions of war—aud there is no
interests that would interfere with so eno-
bling a measure in this country; and when
such a conditon forms the resolution of an
European Congress in which English influ
ence sways—no one will doubt that onr policy
and our humanity will not lack.
Tile Mississippi Rnllroml Bridge.
This great bridge over the Mississippi at Hock
Island has proven, says the Scientic American,
to be such au object of antipathy to the steam
boat captains that attempts havo already been
made so set it ou lire. We hope they will cease
their opposition to this bridge, and give up all
attempts to destroy it. Their conduct has ex
cited the public against, them; and they may
depend upon it that all their efforts will Iks fruit
less to prevent the coutinuance of such a bridge
over the river. If they burn down ono it will
only lead to the building of another, and a fire
proof one. This bridgo is composed of two
structures or bridges—tho Slough Bridge which
crosses irom Illinois to the island over a chan
nel which the Mississippi has made ou tho east
side of the island, and tho Alain Bridgo which
extends from the island to the Iowa shore.
The Alain Bridge extending from the island
to the Jowa shore of the Mississippi, consists of
five spans besides the draw. Three of these
spans aro on the west side of the river, and
two on the east side. The entire length of the
bridgo, from the island to tho shore Is 1,581
feet. Each span is 250 feet in tho clear, aud
the draw is 280 feet.

Correct Statement of the whole Affair.
Being in Lawrence on tho :3d instant, we
saw tho peaceable arrest of six persons by sher
iff Jones, with a detachment of United States
troops, under Lieut McIntosh. Everything
went off quietly till just before dark, when some
men congregated about in diflterent places,
abused the pro-slavery men, Gen. Pierce, sheriff
Jones, &c. Several times iu the evening we
warned sheriff Jones (upon information being
given us that possibly an attempt upon his life
inade) to be cautious nnd circumspect.
With Lieut. Alclntosh, we, with a gentleman by
tho name of Yates, went to the camp, intena-
ingto pass offtimo and spend flio night. Soon
after we had made preparations for sleeping,
Mr. Jones came in and commenced talking In
regard to tho arrangements for the night, for
the care of the prisoners.
Soon Lieut. Alclntosh, Mr. Jones and one of
us (P.) went a few paces from tho tent to get a
glass of water. While so engaged, somo per
sons como up and enquired "where sheriff Joiies
was, ’ nnd made insulting remarks concerning
his courage, when he, J., arose from the stoom
ing posture he was iu and remarked, "here 1
am gentlemen.” and again stooped, when somo
peraon in a crowd standing near, fired into the
party, when the remark was made by P.,"Jones

of the Crimea by the French army was to lie
effected by divisions, beginning with the First.
One-half of the Sardinians had already been
embarked.
Tho blookado in the Crimea was raised 011 the
13th, and a convention, regulating the commu

A was reported that Marshal Pelissier would
leave at the end of April for Constantinople,
and thence proceed to France. He had paid a
visit to General Luders, who returned to it 011
the 14th. The Marshal entertained him at a
breakfast, duriug which the greatest cordiality
prevailed.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Russian army
attended in the evening at the theatre. Trade
had recovered some activity at Kamiesch and
Balaklava.
The Pera Journal states that the movement
of tho Persian troops towards Herat was not di
rected against the English, but against Dost
Mahomed, who was plundering the neighboring
provinces and menacing Khorasan.
The accounts from Athens were rather alarm
ing. It was said that the squadrons of English
cavalry were to reinforce the garrison of the

the throne of Greece was also talked of. These
rumors, however, required confirmation.

PALESTINE.
Vienna, Sunday, April 27th.—Intelligence
has been received from Beyrout, which states
that Naplous, a city of Palestine, about thirty-
three miles north of Jerusalem, is iu revolt, on
account of u Musselman having been killed by
au English missionary. The churches and hous
es of tho Christians were attacked, and the
Prussian Consul was killed. The Consuls of
other nations were assembled, consulting togeth
er about their own safety. Tho particulars were
as follows:
Tho Rev. Mr. Lyde, English missionary, was
leaving Naplous, when a half-witted Arab, look-
ed upon by the natives os a dervish, or holy
man, asked him for baksheesh, aud seized the
muzzle of his gun, which was lying before him
on the saddle, when tlio gun went off and kill
ed the man. Tlio Arab population immediately
rose, plundered the house of the English con
sular agent, the English school, aud a Greek
Church, pulled down tho English and French
llagstaffs, wrapped old hIioch into the English
and French flags, which they tore and throw in
to the street, and ended by killing the lather of
the Prussian consular agent, who was attempt
ing to defend the property of the English. Mr.
Lydo took refege in the Governor’s house, aud
was brought to Jerusalem by an escort of cav
alry scat for him by the Pasliu.
The north of Syria is in a very disturbed state,
and in and about the mountains there nro about
30,000 men carrying arms, nnd tlio Turkish
government, as administered nt present, would
bo quite powerlest against any rising among the
people. Tlio house of Mr. Bowen’s successor at
Naplous, Mr. Zeller, was broken into, and the
furniture and books wero destroyed.
Tlio new decree of tlio Sultan conferring
rights on all Christians had been publicly rend
nt Naplous a short time previously, uud the
minds of the Mahomedans becamo very much
excited about it, as also by putting up u bell in
the Protestant place of worship.
A new Governor-General or the Dutch Indies
has just passed through Egypt on his way to
his post. O11 tho ISth ho had an official inter

Proceeding* of the Knimns Commission
Wo find in the New York Daily Times a full
report ofthe testimony given be fore tho Kansas
Commission on the first and second days of its
sittings—April 24th and 25th. The sittings
will probably continue a longtime, and much of
the testimony will ho unimportant, nnd much
more will be repeated. We shall not, there
fore, attempt to give it in full, but shall keep
readers advised of whatever of interest occurs
during the investigation. Tho correspondent of
the Times says that the testimony thus far has
been introduced by Mr. Reeder, who personally
examined the witnesses. General Whitfield is
in attendance, nnd hns employed counsel.
Mr. Jordan Davidson was the first witness
examined. He went from Missouri to Kansas
to vote. Thought it right; but did not know
whether it was lawful. Was 0 member of a se
cret society in Missouri for the extension of
slavery iuto Kansas, which was formed in tlio
latter part of 1854. The members were to vote
in Kansas, and Protect eacli other if they got
into trouble. This witnesses admitted that in
one ofthe lodges of tills society a member asked
how they could vote iu Kaunas if it wus illegal,
and the answer was. "We will swear ourselves
in somehow.”
Willlrm Lyons testified to a conversation with
Mr. Shelby on tho 30th of March, 1855, in which
tiie latter said that lie had come over a hundred
miles to vote, aud that eight hundred Missou
rians would vote on that day * but that if they
voted there, they would not vote in Missouri.
They were armed with guns and knives.
Hammond Muzzy testified to free voters being
forcibly prevented from voting. George Umbarzo
implicated Sherifl* Jones of tuo leader of 11 band
of men who took the poll books from him by
force, threatening his life if ho refused to give
them up. Much testimony was adduced show
ing that Missourians voted with the lull know
ledge tliat they were acting illegally.
Oil the second day the following evidence was
given by William Jessie. We quote it as giving
what appears to be no exaggerated picture of
the proceedings at tiie polls :—
Came into the territory about the middle of
December, 1851; came into St. Joseph, Mo., in
Novomber, from Illinois; I am settled upon the
Wakarusa, 2nd district, one and a half miles
from Bloomington; on tiie last day of January,
1855, came with a part of my goods and my
oldest son; on tlio last day of February moved
my family there; outlie day of the election I
saw a wagon with a Hag, which passed me be
fore I got to tiie polls; went into tiie house;
wasn’t out much; helped them prepare the poll
books; saw a great many persons passing be
fore tho door and window; polls were opened;
persons came and voted; others came nnd were
objected to because they were not citizens of
the territory; things went on until about thirty-
three votes were taken, when one man came
whose vote was objected to; tiie judges would
not receive it until lie swore lie was a resident
of tho territory; the crowd cried out he should
vote without swearing; while this was going on
a dozen came to vote, aud were pulled away;
pistols were presented to tho judges, and they
were told their brains should be blown out if
they did not receive the votes of these persons
who refused to take the oath; they declared t hey
came there to vote, ami they would vote;one of
the Judges, Mr. Ellison, rose and said—receive
no votes until 1 return; ho went out nod came
in, saying, we must close the polls, or else
there will bo 50(1 shots fired ill here in loss than
five minutes; they tried to overthrow the cabin;
at this time Mr. Ellison got the ballot-box; the
doors were broken open; Ellison rushed out and
cried out, hurrah for Missouri; I gathered up
some papers nnd gavo thorn to ono of the judges;
the crowd rushed into the cabin; I left the cab
in; J soon saw a man come out with some pa
pers in his hand; saw that they were blank pa
pers; 1 hunted for Messrs. Burson and Ramsay,
tho other Judges, 10 see if tlioy had como out;
found them, and heard a mail telling them he
would givo them live minutes to resign or die; 1
went into the cabin to see Burson again, and
saw a man holding a watch in liis hand; I told
Burson lie lmd better leave his house; lie
said he did not want to leave his own house; he
finally did, with Ramsay uud myself; we
went, some fifteen in number, to Mr. Ram
say’s house; I asked Burson where tho poll
books were; I found tlio poill books in his
S ocket; lie handed them to Mr. Humbnoker:
lr. H. and Mr. li. then went toward their homes;
a crowd of men came on horseback and asked
where tiie poll books were; we told them we
did not know; they sworn they wero there—
went off and returned again and abused us;
Mr. Jonos, now acting sheriff was with them on
horseback, with Mr. Humbuckor behind him;
soon others came utter Judge Wakefield; they
denmuded he should go with them; he consent
ed to go witli them after three lmd promised to
protect him ngnhist harm; Mr. Jones was one
of tho |three; tlio cry and search was theu
for Burson; 1 found him and went away witli
him; when I returned tho bigger part of tlio
company lmd gone; Jones, unw sheriff, was the
man who was holding tho watch and telling
him they had live minute to resign or die; aume
were there voting when 1 got back; when they
left, they went down East; I suppose there were
near 400 strangers there; have not seen them in
the district since; they were well urtned witli
knives, guns and revolvers; I do uot know
auy set- tiers of tlio district voted.
Tills witness denied nil knowledge of any se
cret military organization in the territor. Indi
viduals purchased guns for Bclf-defenco. The
remainder of tho testimony was cumulative, go
ing to Bhow illegal voting by non-residents.

There is a wide field hero for operations and
a vigorous and honest government can do a
great deal to establish Us owii character with
thu people uud sustain the public interests.
If tlio successful party does not accomplish the
reforms expected of it, another revolution may
bo predicted about this time next year quite as
overwhelming as that of yesterday to the domi
nant party. ... , ..
The result of tlio election was made the sub
ject of general rejoicing throughout the city
W night uud curly this morning by tiie
Democrats und old line Whigs. Third and
Chesiiut street, in the vicinity of tlio news
paper offices, were densely thruuged with
men and boys, and tlio head quarters
of tlio Keystone Club at Sixtli und Clies-
nut streets, was also crowded, as well its
the street in front; along almost every street,
up and down town, tho greatest excitement ami
enthusiasm prevailed, until after threo o’clock
this morning. Delegates from U10 different
wards paraded with bunds of music, and sere
naded Messrs. Vaux, Dorter, Ariubruster, Tay
lor, und Leddy, the candidates lor Mayor, Soli
citor, Receiver of Taxes, Comptroller and Com
missioner. Dejiarlwli
Speeches were made by the Mayor and Soli- j.Steamer Gonlou, Barden, Charleston
citor elect, from tlio balcony of tho Merchants* Mnitorn
Hotel, about midnight. The Mayor was receiv
ed with tremendous cheering, aud addressed
tiie multitude:
Tiie North American, formerly a Whig jour
nal. but now of " Republican” proclivities, nnd
which warmly advocated tiie election ot Mr.
Viuix, thus remarks on the result:
iu the result, thu popular desire for retrench
ment and reform lias been most emphatically
demonstrated. Grown tired ol* trusting those
who have proved faithless, the people throw
themselves into tiie opposite scale. It will be a
lesson which ull professional politicians would
do well to heed. The returns indicate unequi
vocally the success ofthe entire Democratic city
ticket, and the choice of n large Democratic
majority iu the City Councils. As this result
lias been maiuly brought about by the agency
of Whig votes, which, for local reasons, were
cast in favor of tiie successful candidate, it can
not be regarded us a party trlunih. _

Races—Scout, Shout, Shout.—Tho patrons
of the turf were regailcd yesterday with much
more sport Hum they expected.
11* we take into consideration the track and its
condition, which was very heavy, we think that
the race to 250 lbs. wagons was equal to tiny
ever trotted. There were six entries aud ull
came up to tiie score. Bay Queen and Doestieks
bad the call before the start, but the others were
not without their backers.
Tiie race throughout was very exciting. Dig
gory surprised almost every one.
SUMMARY.
First Race—Trotting—Mile heata, to 250 lbs.
wagons. Purse $50.
F. Hall’s a. g., Diggory 2 0 2 1 1
R. Robiuson’ b. g., Doestieks 1 0 3 2 2

Time—3:10|—3:07J—3:07ft—3:12—3:10$.
Before the above race was concluded the two
distanced parties in tho first race made up an
extra race on their own hook, as they thought
Unit they lmd not hud fuu enough for their mo
ney, they being distanced on tiie first heat. So
tiiey concluded to go for mile heats, to wagons,
a basket of champagne. Tiie following was
the result:
W. Cottrell’s a. m., Kate I 2
D. Tripp’s s. g., Gov. Dorr 2 1 2
Time—3:27—2:25—3:244
Previous to this another race was announced
which came in between the heats which was
not bargained for.
A match was made between Butcher Boy and
Lady Hyer for their sulkies. Pacing, mile heats,
to harness. Result:
Lady Ilycr 2 1 1
Butcher Boy 1 2 2
Time—2:52$- 2:40$—2:40.
There will be no race to-day, but on Thursday
there will be considerable sport. Tho mutch race
between Zack Taylor and Belle Creole, pacing,
aud also a trotting race, will coiuc off.

Pure Milk—Action ofthe State Lughsla
ture—"Mr. Duganno brought in a bill to pro
tect the people of tho city ot* New York against
frauds by the adulteration of milk, and to pro
vide for tho inspection of milk.
" Tiie bill provides for the appointment by
tiie City Inspector of six ‘Inspectors ot Milk,’
to be assigned districts of the city, whose duty
it shall be to keep a list of all dealers in milk,
and examine tlio quality, and report to the City
Inspector all cases ot adulteration, or selling
milk of diseased cows, Ac. The City Inspector
is authorized to stop Hie sale of milk by such
parties, and to collect $10 from them tor the
first otfencc, nnd $'20 for each succeeding. Tiie
Milk Inspectors are to receive $700per annum.’’
We clip tiie above from the Daily Times of a
reccut date. Our readers will r. member our re
marks on "impure Milk” in tiie March number
of the Specialist. We pointed out this us a
source 01* scrofulous disease, particularly among
children, "general in its influence, constant in
Us application, and most calamitous in its con
sequences.” We were not then aware that any
steps had been takeu to remedy the evil, »ml
culled attention to the subject in the earnest hope
of awaking the authorities to its importance.
The proposed pltiu ol*appointing "Inspectors
of Milk” is doubtless the best that can be de
vised; but it is highly necessary that tlieselcc-
tioiis for the office should be made witli a jeal
ous regard for the public weal. In a guardian
ship of so important a character it will not do
to have men of "milk and water” integrity.—
.V. 1*. Medical Specialist.
(iiVK Him Justice. Last lull,in Boston
si limn delecting an unlawful intimacy be
tween his wife ami a neighbor, entered a
complaint against them, upon which,
they were held to bail,which they readily
found. The injured husband was also
bound over as principal witness, aud.
being nimble to get bail was, of
course, placed in jail to await the trial.
The other day, the case came up before
Judge Abbott; it Was found, however, that
the husband could not lie a witiuas against
his wife, and so the parties were all dis
missed. Thereupon the injured husband
"more in sorrow than in anger”—addressed
the Court as follows:—
"Your Houor, is this wlmt they call
justice? J fere, six months ago, 1 com
plained against this man for criminal in
tercourse with my wife; thereupon 1 was
locked up out of the,way, aud lie has lived
with her ever since. Now you say 1 can't
testify uml there’s no case against him.—
Why couldn’t you tell me so last, fall, with
out keeping me in jail all winter, aud
leaving the parties to go on half a your
longer, making a had matter worse* with
out me to trouble ’em. Darn such justice !”
It. was (Jobbett who said (uud he told
tlio truth too,) That "women are never
to amiable as when they are useful, and ns
for beauty, though men may fall in love
with girls at play, there is uothiugto make
them stand to their love like seeing them at
work.
