This last line has 5cvrra! hraurhe, and they arj owned by a number ol companies.

Here the mam line goes into a new company, and is known as the Southern Continental Railroad Com pany, and continues westward to the Colorado River. At the Colorado it is met by the Southern Pacific of Cali fornia. Tliis bill combines the friends of rail roads North, South, East and West, and it stands a good chance to pass. It it docs it will secure three good roads to the Pacific Coast. Il supercede toot-log, mules and wagons, and will make Oregon a great Stale. Mr. William.

At a recent meeting la Beston, at which no ladies were present, a nan, in responding to the toast ol "woman," dwell almost solely on the frailty o the sex, claiming that the best among them were little better than the worst, tbe chief difference being in the sur roundings. At the eoaclasloa of the speech a gentleman, roie to hi feet aad said: "I trust the gentleman ia his applica tions refers to his own mother aad sis ters, and not to oars." The effect of this rao'tjnstawl time ly rebuke was orerwhelmning I he maligner of woman was covered with confusion and shame. Tliis incident serves an excellent purpo-ein prefacing a few words which we have for a long time had it in oar mind to say. Of all the evils prevail ing among young men, wc know of none more blighting in its moral effects than the tendency to speak slightingly ol the virtue of woman. Nor is there anything in which young men are so thoroughly mistaken as in the low esti. mate they form of.the integrity of wo men not of their own mothers and sis ters, thank God, but of others, who, they forget, are somebody else's moth ers and si'lcrs. A a rule, no person who surrenders to this debasing habit is safe to be trusted with any enterprise requiring integrity ol character. Plain words should be spoken on this point, for the evil is a r-eneral onr and deeD rooted. Ifrounc? :..,1r,v.ti,n - .i1u thmv l.arn nr.

Wonderful, isn't it ! t snpposa they haven't invested bells In Amen ca?" "Why yes," replied the Yankee, "we've got bells, bul we can't use them on oar railroads. We run so fast that the train always keep ahead of tho sound ; the sound never reaches th"e illgr till alter tjaaju-tlar.n "Indeed I" FZCl4fBBjkasr "Fact," said the Yaakeeilad to give up bells. Then we tried ateaar whistles, bat they wouldn't answer either. I was on a locomotive whaa a whitle wa tried. We were going at atiemendeonsrate 'mnicanesw-to nowhere, and I had to bold my hair on. We saw a two horse wagon crossing tho track about five miles ahead, and the engineer let the whistle on screech ing like a trooper. It seream-d awful ly but it wasn't no use. The next thing I knew I was picking myself out Qt a round by the roadside, amid tha tragmenU ot the locomotive, dead hor ses, broken wagon and dead engineer lying beside me. Just then the whis tle came along, mixed np with some frightful oaths thai I had heard the engineer use when he first saw the hor ses. "Poor fellovr I he was dead beforo his voice got to him. After th-it wo tried lights supposing they would trar el faster than sound. We got one so powerful that tbc children woke all along the road, supposing it to be. morning. But the locomotive kept ahead ot it still, and was in the dark ness with the light close behind it. The inhabitants petitioned against it. They could'nt sleep with so much light in the night time. Finally we had to station electric telegraphs alon. the road with sigJKI Aen to teiegraplTw!'etf the train was in sight and I have heard that some of the fast trains beat the lightuing fifteen minulrs every forty miles. But I can't say as that is true the rest I know to be so." Slavery ia Brazil. Having got out ol the business our selves, our sensitive Amencin hearts are in a condition to be jnstly shocked and indignant over this fresh corapcad of slavery advertisements in a Rio Janeiro (Brazil) paper. The first is a wholesale offer: "To be sold, siTeral good slaves for country work: also, several black girls with pretty faces.' Here is the perfection of attraction: "To be sold, only for a private family, a most beautiful brown girl, who can cook in perfection, and iron skillfully, has a docile character, for completion ot her education and good conduct, for lady's maids." A middle aged gentle man with many accomplishments U to be sold like one of thai brutes. "For sale, a black barber, middle aged, who can bleed, extract teeth, and apply leeches, and is quite active, fit for a country house." A pretty Afrioaa mother and her two children, one black aad the other brown, are hero ofiered : "For sale, a pretty black woman ol Minas, of assured conduct, with two children a pretty little Wack gitl four years old, aad a biBd.-o.-ae brewa boy ot eleven." Here is one ot tho many west-nurse advertisements: "For ale, a perfect Creole female sen a .t, eighteen years old, aa excellent nurse, with plenty of good milk her first child ; eoadact as good as eaa bo desired."
