WHAT STREET RAILRoAps ARE DOING IN

done in that city by these great civic i'm

be viewed, the Institution of Street Railroads
will be blessing and great benefit to the
working classes:
Location is nothing now, for there is no
place out of the reach OF a railway. To the
laboring classes these railways have proved
an inestimable blessing, giving work To ma
ny thousands of industrious persons who 9TH
erwise would have been idle. Track layers.
street PAYERS. carriers, engineers, drivers. cpn-
ductors, hostlers. clerks, staI tiers, lumb r
men, car-builders, aud a whole hest OF Others,
have found in them a perfect mine of work
for good pay. So important has the business
become. that large mercantile houses have
been established here merely TO furnish sup
plies Of lumber, rails, etc. Before these lines
of railway were constructed here all the om-
nibuses were built in Newark or Troy,
scarcely a single one being made here. Now

Ten THOUSAND DOLLARS ADDITIONAL PAID
RVS report in the Mount Vernon Record. we
observe that another instalment of $4,000
has been paid over by Mr.. Riggs. the Treas
urer, to Mr.. Washington. Ont of $500, 900
purchase money, only about 100000 now re-
mains to he paid But, '.apart from the sum
requisite for its proper maintenance and safe
guardianship, the Regent ascertained from re-
liable sources that it will require about 500
900 to restore the grounds and make the re-
pairs necessary to arrest the rapid decay now
going on" Therefore. the Regent will not
be able to authorize the closing of the last
payment until sufficient sum has been Sc
cured to cancel the instalment aud to meet
the responsibilities assumed as soon as the
purchase is concluded.
Was there ever plan of woman's so adj
mrably conceived, managed, and carried so
completely onward to success as this? Her.
culcan though the task seemed but few
months ago. the Regent has parried all oppo-
sition, and the great results already accom-
plished proclaim more elOqucntly than tongue
can speak or pen write. Every State in the
Union, if we mistake not, excepting South
Carolna--which has surely done enough in
State of Ann Pamela Cunningham, the Re-
gent--has Il Vice-Regent; and in each of these
States a beautiful system of management il
pursued, and which will be better understood

citation. the Mount Vernon Record.-P hiLddel-

s'ShmeIIing ofde TTug',--A Dry Catayv-
ba VisiG

The town is ringing with the humOrs of the
Cincinnati Excursion, the fun centcring about
that remarkable feature prominently adj
vertised in advance, 'sthe visit of the eXcur-
tiOnists, by invitation. to the wine cellars of
Nicholas LongwOrtb." Some will aver that
the visit reminds them of the thrifty cider
grower, who, draining the only visible mug
of his favorite staple, held out the receptacle
to his guests with the exclamation, ''Dere. if
you does not believe dat wash goot cider, you
shust shmeH Of de naug!' The mug got extern
tensively smelled at Cincinnati.
OF course it was rather large party for a
treat and there was none promised, but o
doubt whether it was not pretty strongly i'm
piled.
Muggins, who was one of the party at the
same cellars, insists that the forthcoming re-
turn excursion to Chicago, it will be a cheap
way of advertising. that our Lions of the
malt and hop product, Lii Il Divrrsey. and
Sands. of the Columbian Brewery, may imi-
tate, carry half thousand guest dry-shod
and dry-thrOated among their beer and ale
vaults. We doubt if our Chicago brewers
will avail themselvs of Muggins' hint though
one thing is certain, if they ''gin treat"
there will be no "shmeiing Of de mug" But
the matter ELECTED plenty Offnn, both at the
cellars and without. We gave yesterday the
episode of Professor Biddy."
Our amiable and inimtable DR.. E. was
of the party, and passed tier after tier, and
vault after vault, without a token of re-
Spouse from the imprisoned spirits. Sudden
ly his eyes fell upon machine unfamiliar to
him, and he asked of the head attendant s
use.
THAT is what we cork our bottle with"
DIR. Eagan-"DO you say so, and where is
the machine you uncork them with"
The latter apparatus wasn't on duty that
day.
Another visitor. just as he was leaving, ad-
dressed one of the head personages with the
question.
'.You make several kinds of Catawba ~
eyes, we have dry Catawba and"
Il thought so. Bowed if what we havn't
seen to-day is not the dryest kind of Cataw-
ba."
Mr.. Longworth has secured very wide
spread, liberal and memorable advertisement
OF his wine-crllers, al very cheap rate-thp
smelling of the mug though it must be con-
fesSed that the mug smells Of something else
than native wine.

Death OF a Printer Who Knew
ssJunfus.,,

The Pendleton Is. CO. Messenger, in a sketch
of the "Old Stone Meeting House" in that
town, after speaking of several celebrities
buried in the graveyard, says:
I Beneath cluster of cedar repose all that
. is mortal of John Miller, printer. We iinger-
ed long by bis grave, for his eventfui life
afforded us food for meditation. If we could
have seen and conversed with his descen-
dants who live in this vicinity, we could have
gained fuller sketch OF him. Mr.. Miller was
the Oldest printer in the State. For the
publication of janus letters-the author of
those papers he well knew--he was expelled
from England. He came to South Carolina;
probably worked for while in the Office OF
the first papers published in this State, at
Charleston, and thence removed to Pendle-
ton, using the press which General Greene
had in his campaign; be did job work until
he commenced abe publication of the Pendle-
ton Messenger-the second paper established
in this State. The world has speculated
much as to the authorship of Junius, but Jno.
Miller carried the secret of his grave at the
"Old Stone Meeting House." and has left no
information as to the name of the author.
This will do for a readable paragraph; but
the statement that Miller published the letters
of Junins and knew the author, is not entitled
to credit.

MORPHY BEATEN.-An article with this
heading appeared in number of papers

nOuncng the wonderful fact that the Chess
Champion had been beaten at last :" by Mr..
Thompson of New York, after contest of
two hours mentioning incidentally that
Mr.. Thompson took the odds of knight. To
the uninitiated it ought To he explained that
in the first place Mr.. Thompson has no
superior amongst the New York Chess players
and in the next place, in accepting the odds
of a knight Mr.. Morphy is placed at about
the same disparity that Ethan Allen would
have. without one leg tied up in a race. Mr..
Thompson ought to win large proportion of
games mt such odds; we are sure we have
more than one player in Philadelphia who
could.-Chess Editor Philadelphia Bulletin.

Miss CUNNINGHAM replies as follows:

In rescning Mount Vernon from the neg
lect in which it has too long rested, it is our
design to gather there, if possible, everything
connected with the past of our country,
which Is inseparably associated with the name
of Washington, or that could, in any respect,
exhibit that veneration for his memory,
becoming in the children who are enjoying
the blessings his wisdom secured.
Your kind and patriotic proposal will
materially assist us in accomplishing this
purpose, should the proposed gift be con-
summated, the cOnSc business of having added
SO attractive a feature to that spot, around
which the afftctionate interest of the nation
clusters, will no doubt be ample reward for
the labor it will cost, apart from the thanks
of the Association, which you will thus have
fully won.

medals at the Mint, to procure as many
duplicates as can OF these Interesting memo
