The day's gone hard with me, old friend ; It seems liard'luck will never end. But grief I'll to the devil send. And comfort seek in thee. Only the eteran smoker knows Thy power to chase away life's woes, And lull the mind to calm repose, My old black pipe. For as the smoke curls up from thee, Like vapor rising from the sea, Rise up the clouds of care from me. And mild content prevails. The fields of future seem iu flower. And lofty dreams of greatness tower. All risen hy thy magic power, My clay dudeen. And round about ny dingy room Bright visions, weft of fancy's loom, Dance lightly thro' the gathering gloom Of coming .night. What tho' those heights I'll near attain; What tho' my dreams may be In vain ; What tho' still pours the steady rain Of dire mishaps, Still it is. sweet for but an hour To lose the sight of clouds that lower, And catch of happiness' bright bower A moment's view. A RUSSIAN CITY. Polyglot Odessa, the Modern and Monotonous. Odessa has a population border ing on 200,GOO inhabitants, and is thus in every respect the third city of the Empire. It has a magnifi cent position, for it lies high on ravines, which give it a wide com mand over its large harbor, lately improved, as well as on the open sea and coast, the striking feature of the place being its open boule vard a terrace or platform about 500 hundred yards in length, laid out and planted as a promenade, looking out seaward, and accessi ble by a flight of stairs of 150 steps from the landing place. Odessa is not an old town, but it looks brand-new, for there has been o lato a great deal of build ing, and the crumbling nature of the stone keeps tho mason and whitewasher perpetually at work lfiitHfytho'ugfrbnorffiusH for its broad, straight streets are astir with business, and tho rattle of . hackney carriages, heavy-laden vans, and tramway cars is inces sant. It boasts many private palaces and has few public edifices, and in its municipal institutions it is, or used to be, taxed with con sulting rather mere purposes of luxury and ornament than tho real wants of the people or the interests of charity. Odessa is in Russia, but not of Russia, for among its citirens we are told, possibly with exaggeration, more than one-third (70,000) are Jews, besides 10,000 Greeks and Germans, and Italians in good number. It is unlike any Russian city, for it is tolerably well paved, lias plenty of drinking water and rows of trees however stunted, wind-nipped and sickly, in every street. It is not Russian, because few Russians succeed here in business; but atrenuous efforts are made to Russify it, for the -names of tho streets, which were once written in Italian as well as in Russian, are now only sot up in Russian, unreadablo to most for eign visitors, and the so-called "Italian street," reminding ono of what the town owes to its first settlers, has been rebaptized as "Pushkin street." Of tho three French nowspapers which flour ished here until very lately, not one any longer exists, for whatever is not Russian is discountenanced in a town which, in spite of all, is not, and never will be, Russian. French is nevertheless more gen erally understood than in most Russian cities; but Italian is dying off here, as in all the Levant and the north coast of Africa, Italy losing, as a united nation, such hold as she had as a mere nameless duster of divided States. London Times. Fogs and Fog-Homs- Burdetto, of the Hawkoyo, has been up among the Blue-noses. He thus discourses upon their at at eosphere: Here there are none three -for-a nnnrtpr "VTissisSlDDl HVer lOgS. ft burdened with fevern.iger and doc tor's bills. They are large, moist, saline, three-ply fogs, and are scarce in tho market at ono hun- drerf dollars an acre. 1 ho Fassa- maquoddy fog, which, is morely.a branch' of the Bay of Fundy, is humid at the edges like a Dead Sea sliower-b.ith. It is a sin gular paradox, but the fog is most mist, when it doesn't go awav. And when it is gone it is not "fog gotten. A full-grown fog horn has u very penetrating noise. It sounds like a woman asleep in the next room. Tou can light up tho d.xrkncss, but you can't bore a ray of liht into a fog. Fogs are not necessarily confined to the sea shore. On tho trackless prairies you may frequently meet a farmer coming to town with a drove of hogs. The smallest and lightest piece of vapor iu the world is called a pettifogger. He is easy to blow away. You can usually hear him blow away iu the court room, on the smallest case on the docket. Ho is never due, and he would not be mist if ho had never been. As it is, he is mister. But the subject grows hazy. Let us foggive and fngget. THE NEW ERA OF RAILROADS It is not quite half a century since a little strap -iron railroad was constructed in Western Massa chusetts, extending from the vil lage of West Stockbridge to tho old town of Hudson, on the river, a distanco of twenty-seven miles. In the first-mentioned town there were extensive marble quarries and extensivo deposits cf iron ore. Nearly all tho heavy freight of the western border q JMassachu-j setts sought an outlet by way of the Hudson rivpr. The littlo road was a wonder. There were at that timo two or threo other short roads in existence, the mnronotable one being that from Albany to Scho tioctady, and a short road in East ern Massachusetts. Most of tho inhabitants had never seen a rail road. The cars were on the com partment plan, and tho engines did not oxceed a weight of more than fifteen tons. One of tho best was rated at twelve tons, and it was able to tako a passenger train over tho road (27 miles) in two hours and a half. Theodore Sedgewick, the elder, then an author of con siderable note, and much given to questions ol industrial economy, raised the question of what yould be influence of railroads on the development of tho country? Would the people look upon them with favor? And would tho larjre outlay bo wan anted by tho busi ness prospects? These were primi tive times. Notlongafterward Asa Whitney was going from town lecturing on the project of building a railroad to the Pacific occau. He was a prophet a long way ahead of his timo. California had not been ac quired. But there was an indefi nite Pacific coast, which included all the Oregon line, and as far north as any ono wished to go. Whitney's idea was that if a great highway could be built to the Pa cific ocean all the intermediate territory would bo opened for set tlement, and a great empire bo built up on tho Pacific coast. His lectures wore interesting. But his hard-headed audiences considered him a "visionary man." This old prophet had a pretty clear insight into the future. All that he pre dicted has substantially been real ized. The first railroad was not built on the lino which he had marked out, booause ho had no idea of running a railroad through any foreign country. It is worthy of note that tho Northern Pacific of your fresh-water is following tho line substantially which this old pioneer had drawn. If he were alive now he would say, "I told you so." When tho first telegraph line was constructed from Washington to Baltimore the first messago sent over the wires was, "What hath God wrought?" It was not then foreseen that the telegraph would be an axljnnct of eery great line of railroad in the country that a man sitting in a central office would know to a minute where every train was, stretching over a distance of a thousand miles, and could give di rections to a thousand men over all the vast extension with as much certainty as if he were talking to a single individual in a private office. Who would have listened with pa tience to Asa Whitney if he had said that the time would come when not only would there be a rail road to the Pacific coast, but pas sengers would sleep on the cars as in a hotel, would dine there and that a knowledge of the progress of tho train would be known at the termini beyond any doubt? Probably his audience would have looked, upon the speaker as a mild sort of a lunatic, harmless enough, but a man who rode a hobby where it would not be wise for others to follow. Now the railroads of this coun try cover a distanco of more than twico around the globe. For tho past five years the greatest activity in railroad construction has been west of tho Missouri river. But to-day the wonder of railroad de velopment is in Mexico. A single railroad company, the Mexican National, a company stocked with American capital, has obtained concessions in that country for aVeutiSOOQimilesof railroad, withj subsidies amounting to over twenty million dollars. Already 125 miles of track have been com pleted, and counting that already completed from Corpus Christi, in Texas, to Laredo, there is. a total already completed of 300 miles. According to report re cently made to the stockholders, rails and fastonings havo already been bought in Europe for nearly tho whole length of road proposed, This single line of road, projected by American enterprise and stocked largely by cipitalists of this country, is equal in extent to some of the great continental rail roads of tho United States. Mexico is intersected and bi sected by a single road, which reaches the Federal capital from the Gulf of Mexico, and thence reaches the Pacific coast by way of Manzaillo. This is only one of tho groat railroad enterprises which aro now being prosecuted in that country. Tho most re markablo fact is that contrary to all early predictions, the Mexican government is paying tho subsi dies as they fall duo. Whore tho money is found is a mys tery. But tho fact that it is found at homo would soom to. show that Mexican finances are not in so bad a condition as has been repre sented. Even were the subsidies to fail, the roads would now bo constructed, because so, much American capital has already been put in that the work must bo conv pleted to save tho investment. In Peru tho construction of rail roads serve to impoverish the coun try. They wore built by Meiggs by mortgaging the guano beds. In fact, the exhausting war be- tween Peru and Chile grew out 6f complications having their ori gin in railroad constructions, and which involved tho guano and niter beds of Peru and Bolivia. Mex ico is rich in minerals, and none of thorn have ' boen plodged for the construction of railroads Simultaneously with this construc tion, however, there has been a new development of mining inter ests in that country. All this de velopment looks like a legitimate business on its face. What will be the outcome of this new revolu-j tion in Mexico? Will these roads create business suffcient to pay dividends? These roads are built. for thirty millions of people. " Less than ton millions are now in that country. Hardly more than thirly-threo per cent of tlieso aro producers. If the population of that country were to he doubled in tho next ton yeais, and ths rail. road men anticipate some increase, this population must comft largely from the outside. In that event a new Mexico will h"tve been created. If that result is fore; hcji by capitalists it would go far fir explain the wonderful railioad de velopment now going on iu that countrv. til l Xotlce.
