THE VAN BURENs--FATHER AND SoN.-Noah
tells the following funny stories of the sage of Kim
derhook and his hopeful son Prince john
The world is angry with Mr.. Van Buren for hav-
ing led his into this political morass but ratll-
er think that the has led the father into the quag
mire. When John established the Albany Atlas to
put down the Argus-the thing of all others which
has made the present muss in the party-the old gen.
tleman went up to Albany from Undertook TO re-
monstrate with John, and TO preach caution, mild
ness, and forbearance. He saw what would grow
out of it, and admonlshed the to be careful and
not get into fight with the Argus. Young Hoispur
heard him with his usual amiability, and said in
repy-"My dear sir, have the greatest respect for
your opinion your experience, and your judgment !;
but what the G=-l do you know of politics 7" There
is doubt the old gentleman had great confidence in
Johns TALENT but not in his discretion, and they have
no secrets from each other.
The Van Buren, family all dreadful sleepers :;
they sit up half the night, and lay in bed until
droll scene occurred once at Washington when
Mr.. Van Buren, Vice President. He laid in bed
late that lie could not reach the Senate at twelve
o'clock, TO call that honorable body to order. La
men'ing his sleepy propensity to John he declared
that there must be reform-they all slept too late
LETS make bargain" said John. "The first
who rises shall call the other up, with leave to pull
the delinquent out of bed if not up in time.''
"Agreed !" said the old gentleman.
One night John sat up playing brag with parcel
through the green blinds. "Bless mel" said he
'why it's o'clock. must go and call the old gen.
teman up.' John to his room, made his
toilet, and then went into his fathers bedroom.
''Hallo do you know how late ii is, ia ther =!
Past O'Clock. Come, tumble uPr'
"Oh, John LEI me sleep little longer"
''Not minute You remember the bargain" So
he rolled the old gentleman into his blanket and
sleet, deposited him very gently on the floor and left
him.
One thing is certain between the old and young
magicans they dstrust each others quckness, apt
ness and discrimination Some time ago there was
caucus at Flaggs at Albany to talk over political
matters Col. Young, John Van Buren, the EXPIRE
sident, with other leading men, present. Mr..
Van Buren, as usual was preaching caution, concili-
alton and moderation to all Johns propositions.
''There, said John to of the party, 81 told you
he was an old Hunker. He amt sounds! -
FRAUD ON BRIr1sH RAILRoADs.-The corruption
praclised in the management OF British railroad cor
poratiuns is found to have been that the
people Of all classes are shocked aud astonished.
Hudson is, perhaps, the most magnificent of the per-
sons SO far exposed but he appears to have had a
great number OF emulators, among whom 1t must
have been exceedingly difficult TO maintain his
premacy. We notice the winding up of one concern,
which had been projected under the auspices of this
worthy gentleman, but he did not participate IN It's
organization, because one of the principal confede-
rates demurred to Mr.. Hudson's conditions, which
were that he should have 10000 shares of the stock
set apart for him. and that he should have the ap-
pontment of the directors, and his own secretary.
This project seems to have been altogether model
affair of its kind. 1t set on foot by bankrupt
attorney in 1915, with nominal capital of $l5, ,OOO
600 in 10000 shares. Stock enough was allotted
to raise $4,000. which entirely spent without
any results.
At recent investigation into the affairs of the
York and Newcastle rood, of which MIR. Hudson was
chairman, it appears that he corrupty applied 5000,
600 of the funds of the company, which had not ye
been recovered from him, and that he had been made
to disgorgc $500 of his appropriations. Direct
ors testified that they knew there was gross if moi
fraudulent mismanagement going on, but they knew
it would be useless to attempt TO stem the torrent o
Mr.. Hudson's popularity. And they were the les.
disposed disturb Cerebus his meals, because they
occasionally received sops themselves.
Bulwer, the novelist, is satisfied that Eugene
! Aram was innocent of the charge of murder, ant
makes the anende honorable in the edition Of his pop
ular novel of that name, publishing with hi
other works. Although Aram was an accomplice il
the robbery of Clarke, Bulwer is convinced, will
many eminent lawyers after going all the evi
dence, that he is otherwise innocent, and says: g.
have accordingly shaped his confession to Wallcr
