WINCHESTER AND PoToMAc RAIL
RoAD.-lt is stated in the Winchester
Virginian, that, Notwithstanding the
deficient crop of last year throughout
the Valley Of Virginia, and the cur
talment Of commerce growing out OF
the unsettled state Of the currency, the
receipts Of the Winchester and poto-
mac Railroad for the last six months,
have exceeded those for the same pc
rod Of the previous year, near $4,000.
This hattering rate OF improvement IN
the receipts of the company is exPec-
ted TO be fully sustained by the Spring
trade, now about to open.

STRANGE TRAVELLER,

Some time since, as | was travelling
the Western part of Tennessee, | fell
J with man, in whom | subsequently
came very much interested. He was
gentlemanly demeanor, and his address
dicated more, and something different, fr
hat which we naturally anticipate from
generality ofmen. There was something
his appearance interesting, at first 81 d
and prepossessing. After the usual sd
tations had been passed, | observed 81
road was very dusty and uneven" "a
such" he replied "was the road of hum
lite." This, and other like observatio
led me to conclude, that he was of the Cd
templative and melancholy temperance
After conversing casually upon varid
subjects, which he did with all that frq
dom and ease, that characterize a man
travel and observation, he observed "y
will notice that I'm absent, and somewh
distracted; after many years absence, DID
ing which time, have been in all the gra|
divisions of the Globe, and visited most
the countries Of Europe and America
have been to visit, (and in all probability 4
the last time) the tomb Of my mother" He
a pause ensued; after which he comment
ed his relations, as nearly asl my mem
ry serves me, as follows: To human col
slderatlon there is great difference in II
conditions of men; part of this difference
seems 10 consist in circumstances conne|
ed with our very existence, over Will
we have no control, and part in the 4
tural disposition which may be allot
to us, whether to be opposed, or resign
to our unavoidable condition in life. VIII
some watt gently on the bosom of d
stream of life, without single gale TO i
terrupt their passage or break the benign

destined TO worry with contending cu
rents, amid storms: and such are the c]
connected with my very q
lstence, that my bark must always sail
sluggish, yet sleepless and troubled W
tiers. My father, whom | never saw, vi
a man of strong affections, jealous a
vocate for Equal Rights, and possessed
a high degree noble, and ardent love 4

and my mother were married, the India1

commemorated. The maidens with "bacR

and ambitious youths" their country's stay
Sin the day and hour of danger" had there

seen and heard the dashing of the bright

Amite, TO listen to an address from DR..
%. w. Caulfeld, who had been solicited a
few days previous to address them. The
limited time he had to prepare his address
prevented him from delivering lengthy
discourse. His remarks though brief and
made without much preparation were APP
propriate and impressive, and elected the
applause Of his audience. The effort full.
filled the expectations Of his friends and
displayed much talent. After the address
the company repaired to the dinner table
which seemed to groan beneath the "good
things of earth" And as it is supposed
every body eat and drank as much as they
wished, | will not trouble your readers
with any remarks about how much, or
what they eat and drank. The heavens
being overcast by this time with dark and
watery clouds, it was thought prudent
that each one should seek some shelter,
or retire to their respective homes, which
they did Gas happy as happy could be-"

CONGRESS.

The Pre-Emption. Bill has passed into a
law. 1t revives and continues the act oil
1890, in force two years. The Bill was
ably advocated by both Of oup represent
tatives. On motion Of Mr.. Word, a reso-
llution was adopted relative to the estab
lishment ofcertain post routes in the Chick
asaw counties. The Sub Treasury Bill
has been defeated by majority of ID
votes. The speech of Mr.. Prentiss against
the Bill, it is said, will give him high
rank among the statesmen of the day.
Mississippi may well be proud of her rep
resentatives. They have done much to
raise her character and standing abroad F.;
and their most inveterate political oppo-
nents are constrained to commend the
zeal and energy with which they have
attended TO the interests of their constitu-
ents.
