a branch to the 33th parallt 1 mad Irom
the North, commencing at Kansa City

road at or near Anton Cliico, in New

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

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

Xerer Speak Stifhtikf ly of Waves.
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?

We saw a two horse wagon crossing
tho track about five miles ahead, and
the engineer let the whistle on screech

thing I knew I was picking myself out
Qt a round by the roadside, amid tha

ahead ot it still, and was in the dark

The inhabitants petitioned against it.
They could'nt sleep with so much light

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."
