Wheeling Railroad Matters.

At a meeting Of the Council Of the city Of
Wheeling, the following, among other pro.
ceedings, were had:
An ordinance granting certain privileges
to the Hemp6eld Railroad for the location
Of a Depot on Madison Street, and the ex-
elusive use of said street, (the Company
to open two other streets north of Madison)
and for the laying OF tracks along sundry
streets. and conveying the ground of the
"Old Grave Yard" to the Company for
$4,000, was submitted by the committee
on Railroads. (The ordinance prescrib-
ed several routes for the passage of the
Hempfeld Railroad through the city,
Mr.. Echols thought that a particular
route should be designated, or unqualified
privilege given TO the Company to pass
through any street or alley in the city, and
moved that the ordinance be so amended;
this motion having no second, he moved
that the ordinance be laid over until Fri
day evening. which was lost by the follow
ing vote: Yeas 6, nays 10.
After a ~protracted discussion. the ordi.
nance was passed by the following vote:
Yeas IL, nays 5.
The Railroad Committee submitted ar
ordinance for a subscription by the City
for five thousand shares of the capital stool
of the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad
Mr.. Wilson, Of Marietta, by request
made a brief statement OF the affairs o
the road, presenting a very iattering &C
count Of the prospect of its early compile

scription be made.

o. The Journal Of Commerce, shows
that the "strike movement" is a game at
which two can play sometimes,-the en-
ployer as well as employed. We quote:
ga few days since. the employees at the
Mansion House. Brooklyn Heights, wait
ed on the proprietor, and demanded $18
per month, instead Of SIS (the old rate)
threatening instant departure unless their
demand was complied with. Gen. Yale
replied automatically, that all of them
who he employed after the first of May,
should receive the wages desired, where
upon the %discontents resumed their work.
The proprietor Immediately cast about to
see what was to be done, and the result.
was known yesterday. Just before the
gong sounded for dinner. twelve girls very
neatly attired, in dresses all of a color.
and white aprons, were ushered into the
dining room, taking the places OF nine of
the importunate walters who could not
afford TO soil their fingers with gravy to the
tune of only sl5 per month. The dinner
passed off admirably. The girls conduct
ed themselves with much decorum. and
although evidently unused to the business,
went through the duties of their office with
out embarrassment, shd very much to the
satisfaction of the guests. Many of the
latter called upon their host after dinner,
and congratulated him on the entire sue
cess Of the experiment"
The %"Jounal" has no doubt that, after
a little practice, the new walters will be
more hand p the old, so thatth the change
thus brous Sbout is likely to tend to the
comfort of all concerned.

B~ENEvoLENcE OF THE JEws.-A writer
in one of our exchanges says:
The writer of this had occasion not a
great while ago. TO examine into the differ
ent forms of benevolent action in the city
of London. He Wal surprised to find that
the Jews, in proportion to their number,
had more hospitals. asyfums. schools for
orphans, and other benevolent institutions,
than any other sect in the capital of Eng
land; that their charities were less osten.
~tatious; and their poor better cared for,
unless the Quakers are an exception.
