SURE TO BE DoNE-The English capitalists
who have been visiting this country have pa
trOnlzlngy taken our railroad enterprises in
hand. 10 hear them talk one would think
that very little effort had yet been made in
this country towards developing its resources,
Notwithstanding the millions expended in con-
Meeting the East and the West by railroads and
canals. Mr.. MeHenry, at the Chicago ban
quet, announced that he and his associates
were prepared to carry double track, broad
gauge railway from New York to Chicago and
st Louis to send out four express trains daily,
and intended, while they made fortune for
themselves, so to reduce the price of freight
that, II their plan were now in operation, the
amount saved to the farmer on this year S grain
crop Of Illinois would be one hundred millions
| OF dollars. The New York Commercial indul-
ges in few figures to test these confident as
sertlons: Estimating that the grain crop of IL
inois this year as worth $ll08 600 at Chi
cago, and $l68, ,032, 900 at New York, the diff
ference in cost of transportation is $57, ,224 900
Sir Morton Peto and his associates are there
fore prepared to carry the grain for nothing,
and also present to Illinois the sum of $42,
776, 900 as free gift. There is no doubt that
English capital, acting in the direction indica
ted would do great deal of good, but it is moi
necessary to glorify the enterprise so much
with view of impressing people who think
nothing of undertaking the Job of connecting
the Atlantic and Pacific by means of railroad
and have halfway accomplished it. There
may not be so much capital employed here a.
in England, but there is wonderful deal o
energy alive, enable the people to do whateve
their interests require should be done.

MATRIMONIAL MANIAC.-Justice Ledwith,
of New York city, recently had under exami-
nation a case of bigamy wherein the defendant
is represented to have had four 'Cires, all of
,chom are Icing. The accused is Hiram Ken
ny, man twenty-seven years Of age, whose
residence is at 1872 West Twenty-seventh street.
The evidence taken shows that, on the nine
teenth day of November, 1860, the prisoner
was married to Miss Mary Louisa Smith, at
the NJ L. Church in West Thirtieth street, by
the Rev. Mr.. Beach, Eleanor E. c. Roam of
435 West Thirty-second street being witness
to the marriage. While his first wife was yet
alive, the accused married another young lady,
living in Mount Pleasant, New Jersey, and, al
later period, he united himself in marriage
to another lady, and on the 18th of Novem-
Der, 1864, Kenny, disregarding his marital re-
lations, added fourth lady to his list of vic
Tins, in the person of Miss Emma Jane De-
pugh, living at 324 Ninth Avenue. He was
married to her in the same church where he
was united to his first wife, the Rev. j. B.
Hagany being the officiating clergyman. The
prisoners first wife is married again and out of
the way, and the last victim appears as COM
plaiuant in the case. The two other women
who were so grossly deceived by Kenny, ap-
pear as witnesses against him. The accused
was committed for trial in default Of $500 bail.

A REMARKABLE TREE.-The Paris cores
pondent of the New York Methodist furnishes
the following interesting account of species of
a tree brought within few years from Aus
tralia to Algiers:
THE 1UOHteur, in giving an account of the
Emperor recent visit to the Jardin d Accli-
nation at Algers, stated that His Majesty was
much struck with the rapid growth Of the Eu-
calyptuS Resinifera, or Australian gum tree,
which has attained the height Of thirty feet
and diameter of six inches in two years This
remarkable tree in its native soil-Australia-
sometimes reaches the height of three hundred
and forty feet, and has been found more than
nineteen feet in diameter at about yard from
the ground. 1t often yields planks two hun
dred feet long, without single defect. The
wood, Notwithstanding its rapid growth, is
hard and heavier than the oak 1t also pre-
sents beautiful colors, and is consequently we'll
adapted for cabinet work. An astringent gum,
known in commerce as kinO, is obtained by
making incsiOns into its bark. The eucalyp-
tus is an evergreen; its leaves have nearly the
same shape as the laurel. The development
of its lateral branches are no less wonderful
than its stems. They are small until the trunk
attains the height of one hundred feet when
they shoot out almost horizontally, giving the
tree the appearance of an enormous umbrella
The seed, strange to say, is very small, anC
not unlike that of the tobacco plant The
! flowers are white, of most agreeable smell
and much liked by bees, which extract from
them most delicious honey"
Smyrna times., 1865-10-04

A PREDICTION VERIFIED.-It is related of
Simon Cameron, that, in talking with JEFF. Da-
Wis about secession in 1860 he told Davis that
if the Southern States seeded, ruin would ioI
low them slavery be abolished, and he Would
with his own hands plant corn in the streets d
planted the corn in Charleston as he predis.Is.i,
hired soldier to attend to it, and has lately
received four ears of corn as the product.
William Stark, of Manchester, N. H., re-
ceived by the ship GaLconda, which arrived at
Boston on Monday week, from Calcutta, u
white sacred Brahim COW, a lot of Patnah goats,
some Hindoo sheep, several Ganges geese and
some East India deer. Trey are designed for
his park in Manchester, on the Merrimack,
where he has the largest private collection Of

Through all his letters and journals he is never

He married her in 1911, and her history is
summed up in this one phrase-that she was
the delight of his life. Mrs Moore was the
last that remained of the present generation of
