The southern Pacific Railroad.

The New Orleans Crescent, of the 18th inst,
says the bona .fde stockholders of the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company "are in danger of
losing, not only the bright pecuniary promise
of this enterprise, but the money" they have
invested in it, and makes the following brief
statement touching the Company embarrass-
ments:
When subscription books were first opened
in the North, the large amount of stock
issued and the low price at which il was
offered in the market, together with general
impression that il was fraudulent aud formed
part of an extensive swindling scheme.
greatly injured the credit Of the Company aud
diminished the amount which should have
been realized by subscriptions. BY the terms
of the charter twenty miles OF the road had
20 be completed and put in running order by
the 18th Of FEBRUARY last. With little more
than three months before him 10 the time when
q failure to fulfill this condition would forfeit
one Of the most valuable charters ever gran
ted for q railroad, the President, Mr.. Yerger.
ound the resources Of thelCompany exhausted,
the hands on the road preparingto discontinue
the work, and such a financial pressure aud
panic prevailing that is was impossible To
obtain the necessary funds here upon any
conditions. He accordingly proceeded TO
Texas. and by authority of the Board of
Directors executed a deed of trust Occurred by
mortgage of the road 20 various parties
living in the country through which the line
passes, who then furnished the means 10 COM
plete the work required by the terms Of the
charter.
The liabilities thus incurred are now due.
and unless they can be discharged. or the
Texas creditors in some way satisfied for the
present, the road viii be sold and new Com

with surprising beauty of form and action great
racehorse, Highlander's reputation throughout the
Union, was, for some time, hardly equalled, having
beaten in the best style, all of his many competitors

A REMARKABLE AFFAIR.-Under this
head the New York Sunday Mercury
publishes the following precious story,
which will be very well for light reads
ing such hot weather as this
A Fifth Avenue love case has recent
tly come to light, which throws the
most wonderful romance of ancient
times into the shade, and promises
some rich developments. A younger
son of wealthy Wall street banker is
the happy man who was beloved by two
daughters of an avenue millionaire, and
both Of them were bent upon having
him for their lord and master; but bank
er junior had preference of his own.
and not being particular favorite with
paterjdnltaas, proposed a midnight
elopement. The favorite fair one Jump
ed at the idea, and agreed to meet him
on certain evening on the curb, after
all the family had retired. Her sister
overheard the proposal and acceptance,
and resolved to thwarther rival, though
her projected plan for so doing was as
curious as ingenious. She followed,
and caused friend to follow, her sister,
wherever she went, before the appoint
ed night arrived, noting carefully all
her actions and purposes. The intended
bride had her suspicious, but they were
not very deeply fixed, and hence she
was rather careless in her preparations.
She bought dress for the occasion
a dress Of a peculiar material, and had
it made by dress-maker. Her sister
being informed Of this proceeding, did
the same and caused her mantle to be
modelled after the other. She also pur
chased other things, for the same rea-
son, and copied her sister in everything.
In the room of the bride elect, large
cheval glass reaching to the floor, was
one of the adjuncts of the toilette, and
a veil of thin gauze was lying over it
when not in use. On the morning of
the appointed day, the scheming sister
obtained access to the room while its
proprietor was riding out, and by the
aid of the bribed menial, removed the
books from the back part of the glass,
and after removing all the traces of her
work left the room. Towards evening
she again stole in, dressed in travelling
dress, ETC., similar to that of her sister,
and concealed herself behind the mir
ror-being there enabled to survey all
on in the room, through the lace veil,
while no one could perceive her, with
ont going close to the latter for some
special purpose
Soon the bride elect came in, slept q
short time in lounge, and near II O.
clock, arrayed herself in the garment
she had prepared. She then went to-
ward the Cheval, carelessly threw aside
the veil, and beheId what she supposed
to be her own reflection. Could it be
Was it not delusion! How came her
sister by that dress She moved her
arms and she jumped-the reflection
did the same. She was indeed her
sister instead of herself and full of this
idea, she resolved to fly to her room,
lock the door, and throw the key out of
the window, 50 that no one but herself
sould run away with banker, Jr.
Away she darted, half crazed, when
her sister went quietly down to Banker,
Jr. palmed herself off as her sister, and
was hustled off,
