In the dry-goods stores and Heav

fame spirit of unwearied patience and

and in nil stations ol life, do women
invariably receive the deferential re

barbarian, man ! For my part, it thir
is being made u "toy and plaything
nnd slaxo"of, like ill I like the
chivalrous teKel that prompt a man
to toss away his segar when lie comes
Into my presence. I like the deferen
tial ntteiitiou ho pays to everything I
say, for I know that a woman's talk in
not always interesting. The courtly
grace with which he yields n well-de-tended
point in argument, the careful
study of my vilu, the unobtrusive
nntieipition of my desire, the rever
ence with which ho honors me. 1 like
the air of protection which he throws
around inr in crowded places that em
barrass me. In times of danger, dis
tress and dcolation, I like to lean on '
hi strong arm, nnd feel safe there. I
like to tniHt his judgment nnd be guid-'
ed by his wisdom, nnd I liko to be
thwarted and opposed in uiy littio sol

The Memphis, 1 Paso nnd Pacific Rail
way. The Houe of Hcptesontativcs has
pased n joint resolution giving the
right of way to the Memphis, Kl Paso
and Pacific railroad from El P.xso to
San Diego, on the Pacific. Tho resolu
tion gives two hundred feet for tliu
road bed, nnd appropriates tho nt-cei-cssary
quantity of land for sido tracks
I and depol, in arconlancc with the
I law of Cougres. This indication that
j Coiigrcs is nwakingto the importance
ot n Southern linilroad lo the Pacifio
will be hailed with especial satisfaction
by nil who appreciate Iti bearing upon
tho material development ot tho finest
portion ol the. North American conti
nent. The i onto is otic o( tho most nd;
vniitagooiu of those which bnVo been
surveyed, whether oout.iduiod.in refer
ence to il & length ol the Climate nud
topographical features of the country
through wlileh it passe. This is nn
inimrtntil element of tho confidence)
with which the projectors of tho 'road
ore preparing to carry out the enter
piiso. Hut another mid equally sub-"
staiitial i-lcm"iit of that confidence, is
found in the geographical condition
which go to Insure the future success
of the load. It require no prophetic
vision to foresee lint a large part of
the trade nnd travel between thn two'
oceans must cek n Southern port. Mo
ha but a feeble (jjieepiioii ol tlio vast
development now awaiting our coun
try, who does not seo that wc shall re
quire not one commercial metropolis
liko New York, turning nil channels
toward itself, but great entrepots ot
trade nt vat ions points along our ex
tended coast. Norfolk and Charleston
must divide the trade of the continent
with more northern jwrt, nud in tho
not distant futuie even less Important
place must como in for their sharo,
nud unko names now scarcely known
fnniliar lo the merchants of tho world.'
The Soutliorn Pacific railroad line, oon
necting nt its cistern terminus with
the not-work of southern roads already
existing or yet to Imj blillt, will put tho
tho South In direct communication
with the Pacific, nnd with tho vast un
developed territories on tho route thoro
to. Not tlio least Important among
tho benefits it will confer upon that
section is, that by carrying through1
her ono of tho hlghwajH of the world's
commerce it will iugivorato hor with
its vitalizing nud awakening forjo.
Whether considered in it national as
pect, in its relations to the material ro-'
construction ot tho South; it undoubt
edly ranks nuiong tho most Important
enterprises o( tho nge. Liko tho At-"
Initio cable, t)i i Sue, canal, nnd tho'
L'nion Pacific railway, now completed,
it will bo n proud mp-.uracnt to tho en-'
ergy, luldiics'iprtfjtnr-.Hglitcd sagacity
o( its projector. nnd builders. Wo
hopo to seo all tho necessary legislative
preliminaries speedily completed, and'
tho work pushed forward with tho'

ol the l'nion nnd Central Pacifio, has'
been the wonder o( the world.
Tiik Kivkus oi' Damascus. Abann
and Phnrpar livers, ot Damascus, men
tioned by tho Scriptures, have recently
besn thoroughly explored by Maogro
gor, tho (amous cauoo traveler. Mao
grcgor, after going from Cairo to Saoi,
nnd oxploring tho Doha ot tho Nile,
had his canoo carried by land to Hey
rout, thenco over Mount Lebanon, and
finally launched in the river Abana, n
which he paddled to tho plains of -Damascus.
Tho rivers Abana and Pharpar,
in consoqucuc. of tho wild beasts, deep

toforu been laid down innccurately on
