The new law makes, uo provlsioh fori the office or duties of overseer of jfilgh ways. That portion of the old law is •mitted and repealed. Thus the •i.lv authority over roadd and bridges, in the commissioners of highways. The question arises, are the overseers of, highways elected at the last animal town meeting legislated out of oflk-e, and if not, have they ^ny duties to perform, and to what extent? The new law nowhere provides that the term ef these officers shall terminate, or ik any way refers to them, ft simply re­ peals so mt-ch of the old law as is in­ consistent with the new law- A reason­ able construction of the inteution of the legislature would seem to bethi*: that the overseers of highways con­ stituted under the old law, would re­ main iu office for certain purposes dur­ ing the time for which they wore chosen; their duties bei:ig confined simply to winding up the ailairs of the office remaining unfinished, such as making returns to the proper authority. Bnt it being made the duty of the com- isioners of highways under the new law t« keep the roads and bridges in repair, the overseers of highways would seem to have no further duties in this regard. The commissioners of highway# are now in full charge of the subject of re­ pairing roads.; it would seem to be ad­ visable, in order to preserve harmony, that they should arrange with the over­ seers of the several districts iti their township to finish working out the poll tax remaining due.if anv» and to complete such work as they way hayc |»niraciuie(l. - ^ „ ers shall not be prevented, however, from "letting any contract at any other time than the tirct Monday iu May. when uecssity requires it, or if the com­ missioners of highways deem it to be to tlie interest Qf their town they may. to an amount not exceeding twenty five dollars, prirately contract with persons as they dee in best for putting and keeping roads and bridges in repair, but it uo case shall such con­ tract exonerate such commissioners from liability for failure to keep such roads and bridges in repair." The law further provides tfaat the commissioners of highways shall, at their first meeting after the town meet­ ing. choose "one of their members to act as general overseer of highways iu their township, whose duty it shall be to take charge of and safely keep all tools, implements and machinery belonging to said town, and shall, in accordance with the direction of the board, have general supervision of all roads and bridges in their said town." The new road law sets out upon a new theory for the repairng ®f roads and bridges in counties under town­ ships organization. It places the re­ sponsibility in this regard solely, on the, commissioner of highways. It is believed this will result in giving to Illinois an improved condition of pub­ lic roads, superior to any othes West­ ern S'ate.

Carey, of Philadelphia, writer upon political economy of wrid-wide reputation, in a recent let- si to the President upon the difficulties f "Resumption,'" sums up a part of his se as follows: 'Of Natloaal and'State Banks the iimbcr exceeds 2.000, but when we >nif> t« add thereto the deposit and *in;j fund companies, and private linkers, the total number ef the par* les who stand to-day before the world holders of money re-payable on de- an l, and liable to be called for at aiiy tsr,u(T, probably exceeds 5.000, with ahilitios little, if* e^en at all, short of ouo.000.000. How Exceedingly liable hey are to suffer on every occasion ^hen confidence has been aflected, was llell shown twenty years since, when a ithdrawal of deposits from Xew York nks. not exceeding 030,000,000, herald- the ulinast universal ruin that so ,ose]y followed; and again, less than ur years since, when a demand from ie W'est for some forty millions pre- aeed the collapse under which the na- has siuc6 so severely suffered, it!; all that sad experience ®ne would !>!><>?e that iu the thirty months that ve ^lapsed since the passage of the sumption act ihey would have made nsi'lerable progress toward prepara- «n >r that grand crisis, now but 18 tilths distant, when every holder of a nk note and every depositor will be tborized to call for payment in gold; id every bank and banker will be so ;uvd before the law that he must i l«ei- produce the gold or allow him- If lo be proclaimed bankrupt. Have ey done this? Le't us see! "The loans of the city banks of New ork in 1873 stood at thre*» hundred id Hty miliions. At the latest dat* von in the Comptroller's Report, they oo<! at three hundred and twenty-one ill ions, no reduction having yet. been ftde except that whiiSk had been nglit about by difficulty in finding stantial borrowers. The. loans of national hanks at large amouuted 874 t<r nine hundred and fifty-four lions. At the date of the last report stood at nine hundred aud thirty- piling*, showing a change of lees ij^iie per cent. ^ e Our English cotemporaries are a good deal exercised over the fact that the two great belligerents, Russia and Turkey, have given their foreign or­ ders for war material to America rath­ er than to British manufacturers. They not onl3r concede the fact, but are mag­ nanimous enough to admit that the reason is, because we have succeeded in making a better quality of arms-- muskets, rifles, sabers, etc.,--than anv of our competitors in Europe have yet produced. This is probably true ; and this superiority.of skill in design and execntion mav be accidental and only temporary, or it may be maintained in the future. If it were only in the man­ ufacture of fire arms that we excelled them our British cousins might pre­ serve their composure and abandon that particular field to us; but they have been yyorsted in several other trials ef skill--notably in watch making and the pr«ductlou of agricultural ma­ chinery.

' Iliive they strengthened themselves iu that direction? Certainly not; the quantity of coin of all descriptions, gold aud silver, in the banks of New York having increased so very little that the miserable $1,063,000 of September 1873 stood .represented in November last by the scarcely less miserable $l,129,000.•, A FLOOD OF WKALTH. The richest mining firm in the world is that of Flood. O'Brien. Mackey & Fair, in California. Their interest in the two Bonanza mines, at the present depressed prices, cannot be less it is said, than $23,000,000. They ewn the Bank of Nevada with a paid capital of $10,000,000, aud a reserve fund of $2,000- 000. They-are reputed to own 320,000.- 000 in United States bends. Their real estate and other property in sight can­ not be less than $3,000,000. Besides these investments theyoWn a control* i*?g interest In scleral other mines. It is estimated that the entire assets of .these four men would amount to $100,- 000,000. Next in order ot wealth among Californians come the four principal owners ©f the Central Pacific Railroad and dther connecting roads of Califor­ nia--Stanford. Huntington. Croke and Hopkins. These are the largest owners of railroad property in the world. Most of this property is encumbered by the issue of mortgage bonds. But it is supposed that these four men have a clear margin of $50,000,000. Besides railroad property, they own a great deal of land, town sites, alternate sec­ tions, country seats, city real estate and soon. It is said that they are worth twelve and a half millions apiece.-- Prospectively they are worth more. A RKMIMSKNCK In the j'ear 1626, after all save one of the band of patriots whose signatures are borne on the l>eclaratlon of Inde­ pendence had descaided to the tomb, and "the venerable Carroll alone remain­ ed among the living, the authorities of the city of New York deputed a com­ mittee to wnic^'on the illustrious sur- viver, and obtain from him, for deposit in the public hall of the city, a copy of the declaration of 1776, graced ahd au­ thenticated anew with his sign manual. The aged patriot yielded to the request and affixed, with his own hand, to the copy of that instrument, the grateful solemn and pious supplementary decla­ ration whicK follows "Grateful to Almighty God for the blessing wiiich. through Jesus Christ our Lord, He has conferred on my be­ loved country in her enia'iiuipati»n, and on myself inj permitting me under cir­ cumstances of mercy, to live to the age of eighty-nine t ears, and to survive the fiftieth year ef American Independ­ ence, and certify by my present signa­ ture, my approbation of the Declara- of Independence, adopted bj' Congress on the 4th, of July 1776, which I origin­ ally subscribed on the 2d day of Au­ gust of the same year, and of which 1 am now the last surviving signer, I do hereby recommend to the present and future generations, the principles of that important document, as the best earthly inheritance their ancestors could bequeath to them, and pray that the civil and religious liberties they have secured to my country, may be perpetuated to remotest posterity and extended to the whole family of man/' CHAKLKS CARBOLL. CARttOLtTON, Aug.. 21826, .LKXTICHS FItOJI QUKUISC.-NO *. wIt*s just like Europe" sighs the Wfc turned American traveler a$ in the early morning light the steamer nears the city of Quebec with its citadel crowning the impassable wall of rock that rises from the brink of the river. The rising sun gilds the innumerable tin roofs which sparkle like so many diamonds while the roofs of Point Cairo across the river send back au- swering gleams, making altogether as fair a picture as one could wish to gaze war Daniel Webster is credited with; having eaid: "If I had as many sons as old Priam, I would have them all learn a trade, so they would have something to fall back on in case they failed in speculations." A Philadelphia paper moralizes thus sensibly thereon: The number of young men who are brought up to no useful trade or calling, is on the increase. The effect of this is seeu in political life, where thousandsof men are begging, as at present in Washing­ ton, for "position" with a vague idea that their untrained powers and ignor­ ance can find shelter in some cosy nook where they may at least draw their pay. Beir.g practically of no earthly use to themselves or any one else, they ouly hope to find some place where they can continue to exist ( without benefiting any one. A destitute young man, without a trade, and who is uot qualifiefTby'practic* to fill an}' position, is in a condition to become a tramp, and tlie chances are that lie will become one, or farct even worse by becoming a criminal*' ^ ' ; er touched the wharf, when* after se­ lecting one from the throng of 4,car- ters" who beset the unwary, we were expeditiously arranged in the carriage and began the climb of Mountain Street. After locating ourselves in comfortable quarters, our flrst sight seeing was inaugurated under favorable auspices. We pi srfessed a pretty well defined idea of what we wanted to se<s and our jewel of a driver knew exactly where everything was to be found.-- Under his guidance we went the usual round in the city but the most delight­ ful part of our visit was an exploring expedition we made en our last day in Quebec. With no controlling power but our own sweet wills, climbing stairs from the lower to the upper town and investigating all particularly narrow or picturesque streets and div­ ing into sucii dingy littie shops' where we boldly attacked the shopman in French, generally however, ending iguominioMsly in our mother-tongue.-- One of our first visits was to the "Cita­ del" which is simply capable of pro­ tecting "a whole cityful" in time of need. A little Irish bugler came to show us about, doing the honors most gracefully. Only a few soldiers consti­ tute the garrison at present, and the place looks rather deserted. A caubon was walking about the grass aud a puny bear was chained to a post. Bruin had just distinguished himself by biting one of the officers, and in consequence we did not cultivate a very close ac­ quaintance. It is quite a little walj> from the entrance to the point from which there is the best view, but when a little breathless from climbing we seated ourselves on a cannon aud felt more then repaid for our slight exer­ tion. The view is grand. Immedia­ tely below us is the city, the wall ex­ tending around the old town which is smaller now than the suburbs, the rivef full of shipping, from oceau steamers down to fishing crafts. Point Lewis, a town of good size on the opposite shore; Just below in the St. Lawrence is the Isle of Orleans wi th its inevita­ ble tin-towered church; and stretching away in all directions are the drives> leading to the pretty "outlying vil- lageS. _____, ^ONE$* $£T*The man who does nothing don't amount to much.

SOLON CKCBSTOL ; / When the great Solon wa* at Sardis, the capital of Lydia. he had an Inter­ view with Croesus, the Lydlan Kinjgf who, to astonish the republican slnf^f plieity of the Grecian philosopher r#»* ceived him in all the splendor an# pomp of Oriental magnificence. A|f this interview Croesus exhibited Solon his great wealth in golden treaty ure$;but Solon, nothing daunted bj*.. this display took from his garments # piece of iron ore, which he had found III Egypt,and handing it to the monarcli ,said, "this has intrinsic worth greateif than all, and in time it will comnsni - more gold than the treasure-house of Croesus could hold." The vain kln| 1 threw down the rusty gift, and retired in disgust;but the sage, ever true tip his simplicity and integrity, returned : to Athens to develop the merits of that rude stone. He made it into defensiv# armor by aid of which the Sparts soldier afterward rescued his oount from ruin and dishonor. In our day how great the contrast; 3 between the intrinsic worth of th«; - "iron stone." and all the other metal& Had Solon lived till now he would hav§V-'L; seen this "iron stone" performing morn wonders than his philosophy eve* dreamt of. He would have seen ol# Father Time, with his hour glass bro ken, leaning, a palsied wreck, on bfil rusty scythc, when he flrst saw workings of a "Patent American Tick#' er." He would have seen the god Jfejft tune grounded on the mud fiats oil "Wulhibout Bay" with his naiads ia alarm, as the paddles and the screws of the floating iron palaces outstripped their speed toward every clime. HI would have seen Vulcan throw up hifi sledge in disgust as the twenty-toff4-/ hammer of Krupp forged out th<| eighty-ton peacemaker at Essen. H# would have have seen the em bar rasa* ment of Mercury with his feet entani* gled in the electric wire and his occtk*- patton .gone, as the '"Fast Mail* wittit ? its iron horse went steaming over th#' laud. That simple "iron stone*' has be* * come the master mineral and power Hi§? ' the laud, which all the wealth of tli| modern Croesus cannot control.
