The EUening Post says:
"Tbe April earnings of the Chicago and Rock Island
Railroad are published in morning paper as $l,3l9
against $S5 739 in April of last yesr making the de.
crease sl3 400. We find, upon reference to the last
anDua report, that the receipts of April, 1893, were
s92 10 j. stead of $S573 which makes the actual
falling off $l9,SOl.'
We were careful to state distinctly that the figures
we gave were the telegraphic report in both cases.
After the settlements made with connecting roads,
&c. there is always some addition to be made to the
first statement and when this addition is made to
April it will then be time to compare the figures with
those of the completed statement in the annual report
A despatch from the Engineer of the Cumberland
Coal Co. announces tn at the canal is now navgable
for loaded boats.
The shipment of specie by the Persia promises to
be larger than was anticipated and the largest ever
made bv one steamer. We hear that two and half
millions have already been ordered.
Messrs Thompson Brothers write us az follows:
"The amount of genuine notes with forged sigma.
lures Of the Brighton Market Bank already returned
in Wall street is several thousand.
"This morning We received a dispatch from Nash
VILE announcing that packages Of notes OF the Bank
of Chattanooga have been received there with forged
signatures and almost simultaneously the express
brings large amounts of these in the street. This Is
the fourth ike fraud within fortnight; nnos
Respectfully ThohfsoN bhoS
The gain of specie shown by the Bank statement of
to-day is larger than was generally anticipated, and
grew ont of the fact that the California receipt went
in on Monday, and counted for the whole week, while
only $780, of the foreign drain counted against the
average, and that only for four days. The receipts by
| the express companies, informed, were also
larger than was generally supposed. The falling of
in loans is favorable feature, showing that bank
managers adopting conservative and prudent
course preparing for whatever may be in the future
The other items of the statement do not show any
m ateral variation. On the whole the statement was
received as very favorable, and had Strengthening
effect upon the Stock market.

condition Of the New-Ycrk Banks for the weeks end

Another meager report has been published by the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company. 1t throws not
raw of light upon the business or expenses Of the Com
pany during the past year, but confines itse almost
entirely to statement Of the assets Of the Company,
their condition. &C., with slight allusion TO the mail
contract and the Vanderbilt opposition In regard to
these the report says:
The term of our mail contract with the Government
for service between Panama and Astoria IN oregon,
was extended one year. but will expire the first of
October next. Eleven years will then have elapsed
since the pioneer steamer of the Company saed Tor e
Pacific Ii must be satisfactory to the sharehoiders 10
know that up to this time, the Company has never
lost mail trip and has throughout evnced a pune
tuaty and fidelity in performing ITS mal oohgatohs,
worthy of their importance and their extent mixing
together the two frontiers of the Continent In the
recent embarassments of the Post-Oice Department,
propositions were made by this Company, of nature
10 prevent the interruption of this service from consi-
deratons of economy, and with entire commence liat
after maturing the subject, more Just rehneIa.ioh
would be granted by Congress- IL may well be donot-
ed whether any service in the world, OF the I'M
potance of ours has been rewarded by less compenSa-
ton. The policy pursued by tine L. ). Government,
therefore in proposing to send the mails, after OctO-
Der. by the Nicaragua route, cannot be attributed
either to any omission of duty in the past, nor TO any
unwilngness on our part to conform 10 EXISTING CIR
custanccs, and trust 10 fair basis o compensation
being adjusted for the future. .
II is known to the Stockholders that an opposition
line was started in March last from New York and
from San Francisco and also that on the hst OF Oc'
tober next the existing arrangements with the L. ).
Mail Steamship Company, for connecting service on
the Atlantic, will terminate.
Your Board of Directors have not lost sight of this
important matter and is their determination to take
such action viii secure the efhclency ol tns CV-
pany in all emergencies.
OF the investment in the report says it has
not been increased during the year. The Coal sup
plies are valued at cost the securities in the
insurance fund.- although the present value consider
ably exceeds the cost. The annexed tables gives
statement of the assets of the Company, showing a
nominal surplus of 81 3O2, ,9O2 out Of which divi-
depd Of 10 y cent has been declared, amounting to
1866 100 The assets exclusive Of real estste, steam
ships &C., machinery, COAL &C., amounts to sl,oo','
~, including an unavailable claim upon the Govern
ment for mail service and the insurance fund.

REvoLUTIoNARY ANECDOTE.-Oue of
the regiments ut the battle of Bennington
was commanded by Colonel who, when
at home, was a deacon. He was a calm,
sedate, determined man, and went to the
battle because he was impelled by sense
of duty. His whole parish was in his
regiment; so was his beloved pastor, with
out whose presence and blessing they
scarcely thought themselves in a way to
prosper. The Colonel was ordered by
General Starke to reinforce one of the
wings, which was suffering severely. He
marched at the instant with his forces, bu,
as slowly and composedly as if he was
marching to a conference meeting. The
officer in command of the corps to be re.
lieved, fearing that he should be compel
led to give way, sent to hasten the Colonel
Tell 'em we're coming," said he, and
marched steadily on.
A second messenger came, with the in
telligence that the wing was beginning t.
fall back. THAT will make room for us
Tell 'em we're coming" replied the Colone
with unmoved countenance and unac
celerated pace. A third message reached
him Just as his troops emerged from be
hind a coppice, in full view of the enemy
whose balls now began to whistle abou
them. "Halt p' commanded the Colonel
"form column and attend prayers" AM
there was a pause, while solemn praye
was offered for their success in the deadl
struggle they were about to begin. Praye
being ended, the Colonel addressed hi
men in speech which, for brevity, con
ciseness and vigor, may bear comparison
with any that Caesar or Napoleon ever ad
dressed their troops:
Soldiers" said he, "our wives an
children are in the rear, the Hessians ar
in front-give it to them"
They did "give it to them,' and tina
band of foreign mercenaries melted ava
before those Christian soldiers as the host
of the uncircumcised Philistines melte
away before the armies of Israel.-Rc

PRESERVING SWEET PoTAToEs.-A cor
respondent of the Southern Planter gives
the following cheap and simple plan for
preserving sweet potatoes:
Make a pit in the ground, three feet
deep below the surface, twelve feet long
and seven feet wide: place refuse planks
on the bottom and walls, then build a
structure over the pit something like an
ice-house cover it with straw and earth
expressly to prevent the admission of cold
air. A FIRE should be made in the pit, pre-
vious to placing the planks on the bottom
till every thing therein is thoroughly dry
Now syread dry tags on the floor poui
in potatoes, which should be dried in the
sun day or two before, and cover then
with dry tags. An opening may be mad,
in the southern side, large enough to af
ford access to the potatoes. Never opeI
this except in good weather Such is ou
mode Of wintering roots.

CONVICTION OF COOK.
CHARLEsTowN, Nc

OHAhLESIONN, NOV. H."
The court remained in session Until 9
o'clock, when the jury in the case of Cook
rendered verdict of guilty on a charge
Of murder and insurrection.
Before the jury retired to consider the
verdict, Mr.. Voorhees, delivered a most
powerful argument in favor of the prisoner
which drew tears from the eyes of the
most embittered of his auditors.
This morning a motion for new tria
for Cook, made by his counsel, was argued
and finally overruled by the Judge,
Mr. Harding, the District Attorney, re
fused to sign nolle pro!eqai in favor o
Stevens, demanding that he shall be trieC
by the Virginia State Court. The Cour
has, however, handed the prisoner over Il
the United States Marshal, paying no at
tention to the objections of Mr., Harding
1t is rumored that Green, Coppee, Cope
land, and Cook will all be executed on tn
same day with Brown.

The Departed.

In the church yard bright the howerets grow,
Gladdened with early sun and vernal rain;
But farer still the flower that sleeps below,
And ne er shall feel Springs balmy breath again.
All sadly dear TO me that grassy mound,
With the white rose-tree ever blossoming,
Where the first violes of the Spring are found
And where the plaintiye nght-brd loves TO sing;
For there, with pensive ray the whole night through
The pale moon watches er thy silent bed,
And sheds her plying tears of pearly dew,
In silent sorrow for the early dead.
What ifthat cold world hath forgot thee quite,
And changing friends have lost thy memory?
Yet the moon comes to visit thee each night,
And one fond spirit never parts from thee.
When to the earth turn my troubled gaze,
'Tis but to think where thy sweet body lies;
And when on high my thoughtful glance raise,
dream thy finger beckons from the skies.
Yes-though art gone forever from my side
Thou of the mild dark eye and earnest tone;
In the fresh bloom of youth, in beauty PRIDE
In all thy idolized perfecton-gone
The rose is faded from my path of life
The bird is flown cherished in my breast
The one sweet solace mid the worlds dark strife
The one bright sunbeam that my spirit blessed.
Oh! if my bosom owned one gentle thought,
One nober purcr impulse to it given
From thee it came, by thy example taught,
BY thy sweet influence drawn to thee and Heaven
What though my heart to others seemed of stone
fortress barred to every stranger gue,t--
Yet all its marble chambers were thine own,
There still thou sleepsst in thy final rest
And ne cr again that heart shall open its door,
Nor with the world its hallowed mystery share
But guard in darkened stiffness evernlore;
The one dear image that lies slumberng there.

BENEDICT ARNoLb.--By the death of
Gen. Philips, who commanded the British
in Virginia, the traitor Arnold was left in
command there for some time. General
Lafayette commanded the American forces
opposed to him. 1t became necessary for
Arnold to write TO Lafayette on some sub.
ject connected with their operations, and
q flag and several soldiers were sent with
his letter. On learning that the letter was
from Arnold, Lafayette refused to open
it, saying to the soldiers who brought it
that he was willing to correspond with any
honorable man of the whole British army
from a General to private soldier, bu
with Arnold, who was traitor and dis
honorable man, he could have nothing L

LIFE NOWADAYS.

Life is but span--of horses;
One is cage" the other "Prime J"
Up and down the hill our course is;
go in ponies your time"
Boyhood plies the whip of pleasure;
Youthful folly gives the stroke;
Manhood goads them at his leisure,
"Let 'em rip" "they'r tough as oak
ali, yal there" the stakes we'il pocket
To the wind let care be sent;
Time, 2;4O. "Whip in socket
Give em string, and let 'em went"
On the sunny road to fifty,
"Prime" is drowed in Lethes stream
cage is left, lame, old, unthrifty;
Life then proves one-horSe team.
"Age' jogs on, grows quite unsteady,
Reels and slacke in his pace;
"Kicks the bucket" always ready;
"Gives it up"-Death wins the race.
