Soiv Railroad,—This important work came into the hands of its present management on the 12th of June, a perfect chaos of ruins. It had but two locomotives and a few old shattered cars, all the bridges and nearly all the culverts had been destroyed during the war, each belonging to the other in devastating this unfortunate road. It is an evidence of the immense resources and value of this road, and of the prudent and efficient management of its administration, that in the short time since it has been in their hands one hundred bridges and culverts have been built, sixty thousand cross ties laid, and during the months of December and January last the receipts of the road have been $300,000. All this has been done without borrowing money. At this rate this great work will soon be on its legs again, and unless grossly mismanaged must become one of the most valuable and productive roads on the continent.— New Orleans Picayune. The Negro.—This interesting personage gives trouble even in Massachusetts, where comparatively they have but few of them. Thus we learn that Frederick Douglas indignantly left a hotel in Portland, Mass., the other day because he was not allowed to take his meals with the other guests of the evening. He said it was the only indignity he had ever received in Massachusetts, and proceeded to give the Boniface a regular cutting tip. The proper remedy is to refuse Summer and Wilson seats in Congress. and to disfranchise Massachusetts until she does justice to the negroes. A district school at Attica, "very full and very prosperous, under the supervision of a lady teacher of superior qualifications and of high reputation as a successful tutor," received an addition in the shape of a little negro boy. The little chap had been presented to the M.C. for the district and by him to the village, and by the village to the school. The trustees did not want him. They were loyal, but they sent him away. An appeal was immediately made to the County Commissioner, and also to State Superintendent Rice; both of these dignitaries, as a matter of course, and as everybody might know, decided that the boy must go to school! The consequence is, the white children are gradually falling off, and in all probability will ultimately evacuate the school.— Albany (N.Y.) Argus. Prices of Newspapers.—Those who grumble at paying four cents for daily and ten cents for weekly papers would do well to notice what European papers cost. The London Times costs forty-five dollars a year. The Morning Chronicle, Daily News, Globe, Herald and Post, charge the same rate. The London Evening Mail is published three times a week at twenty-five dollars a year. The London semi-weekly, twelve dollars. The French daily papers, large ones, are about the same price as the London prints. Those about the size of our pennies are at twenty-five dollars a year.
