Peoria & Rock Island Railway.

Yesterday by the kind invitation of Mr.
! Fuller, assistant engineer Of the Peoria a
Rock Island railway, We took seat in his
vehicle and made trip over portion Of
first division Of that road, and picked up q
few facts concerning its progress that may
| be OF interest to our readers.
There are about sixty hands now employ.
ed on the bluff which the road has to raise
as it goes north. AS soon as the weather
becomes settled, it is proposed to put on
about I've hundred. There are on the first
division about one hundred and forty hands
and forty teams, which will be trcbed when
good weather arrives. About $4,000 yards
Of earth have been removed on the bluff, aud
1876 yards Of masonry have been laid. To
finish the culyerts on the bluT, will require
about l75 yards more Of masonry. The
highest fill on the first division is eighty feet,
and the deepest cut is twenty.four feet
Neither the fills or cuts are long, but are
made by crossing spur OF the bluff, and
the corresponding ravine or drain for the
prairie above.
There are gangs of hands at work near
Big Hollow, kickapoo creek, this side of
Puuceviile, beyond Princeville, at Wyoming,
at Lafayette, between Galvu and Cam bridge,
and at Cambridge. Two and half miles
this side Of Big Hollow are nearly finished.
At kickapOo creek there is thirty feet fill,
and a bridge Of tressel work, three hundred
feet in length.
The right of way has been obtained for
the whole line through this county Oh favora.
bic terms, and work will be commenced next
week on the portion near the cemetery, on
Judge Bryants land, and the other farms
adjacent. The line has been located to its
intersection win Jefferson street, but below
there its location is not known. " >.aaaoa
Blrket's Hollow between the Bureau Valley
road and the road to the cemetery
and cuts small corner of the
cemetery at the southwest angle,
runs through Judge Bryants vineyard, and
ascends the bluff ON the side of the ravine
that crosses the Bureau Valley road above
Judge Bryant's and attains the summit in
the neghborhood of Prospest Hill, which it
leaves some twenty or thirty rods to the
right, running along the low ground to the
left of that location. At the cemetery there
is good place for switch and special
trains could be run out on funera! and other
occasions.
This is q brief statement of the condition
Of the road now. AS soon as settled wealth
er prevails, it is intended to put on much
larger force and push the work through with
as great expedition Rs possible. Those
interested in the road may rest assured that
it will be put through with speed.-Pe0ri

Fear Of Tylerizatiop

Forty SIX republicans voted ageirst the
bill for the repeal of the civil tenure law
when the vote was taken in the house, and
all the democratic members present voted
for the bill. The matter is DELAYED in the
senate, and as the New York Tribune and
several other prominent radical newspapers
have spoken very earnestly, aud even bitter.
iy, against the repeal, the bill will probably
meet strong opposition in the upper branch
Of congress. The committee which origin.
ated the civil.tenure law WAS composed of
Senators Edmunds, of Vermont, Williams,
Of Oregon, Patterson, of New Hampshire,
and Buckalew, Of Pennsylvania. There is
rumor that the radicals of the committee
vii. report against the repeal Of the law,
aud Washington dispatches of yesterday
sad that they would be sustained by ma.
lorlty OF the senate. The bill to repeal will
come before the committee on Monday.
Inc radicals, IN hunting after reasons to
excuse their opposition 70 the repeal of the
law, say they wish it to stand because of
their apprehension that democratic presi

Greeley, in discussing this question Of re-.

A Divorced Couple EOps and Plunge into
Matrimouy Again.

From the Paris, Ky, Citizen, January B.
A few weeks ago We recorded the particu.
lars Of an elopement from the pleasant vii.
lage Of Falmouth, in Pendleton county
We have now to chronicle similar
event Of an extraordinary character--the
elopement Of q man with his former wife
The circumstances Of the affair, as we have
learned them, are as follows:
About three years ago man named
James Smith, an employe Of the Kentucky
Central railroad, wooed and married Miss
Lizzie Lee, one Of the most charming girls
in Pendleton, just then budding into young
womanhood, being only sweet sixteen
After living together some eighteen months,
during which they were blessed with an
heir, domestic difficulties occurred, which
marrCd ,hC happiness Of their welded life
and eliminated in the divorce OF the par.
ies-lhe wife retaining possession Of the
child and resumiug her maiden name Of
Lizzie Lee.
Now comes the sequel. After the sepa.
ration Of more than a year-during which
time Miss Lee had number Of sultors for
her hand-her former husband could bear
~ Nv lvHECIj bhI earnestly renewed hl3
protestations Of love, which were fayorablI
and lovingly received An elopement wa
plsnned--tor the old folks objected to tn,
proposed re.marriagc, and on Monday even
lug last the young lady succeeded in eludinI
the vigilance Of her parents, reached Gin
cinnsti safely, again stood at the bridal al
tar, and was again united in marriage The
long separation is ended it has doubtless
been unpleasant to both; the Child-wft
again nestled conGd.ugly upon the bosom
Of the husband Of her younger days
the fathers name will no longer be
forbidden one to his own child; but the lit
tie fellow can again Chamber upon his papa
knee. 1t is doubtless best; and the nov
happy and still youthful pair, taught wisdom
by experience, with renewed and strouge
love, chastened By the ordeal through which
they have passed, loving each other with Z
tendercr and more enduring affection, will
it may be hoped, glide down LIES stream
pleasantly and happily together.

Ii our lips could taste the NORWOOD,
flour backs could feel tho load,
Would We waste the day Ia wishing
For time that ueSf can be;
Would We wait in such Impotence
Tor our ships to come from sea-
If We knew tho baby fingers
Pressed against the window pane,
Would bs cold ard htlh tO-m0rrow-
Never trouble US again
Would the blight eyes Of our darling
Catch the frown upon our brow,
Would tho print Of rosy fingers

All, these little ice cold fingers,
How they point our memories back
To the hasty words and actions
Strcwn along our backward track
How these little hands remind us,
as In snowy grace they lie,
Not to scatter thorns--but roses
For our reaping by and by.
Strange we never prise the music
Till the sWeet-voioed bird has flown:
Strange that we should slight the violsts
Till the lovely flowers are gone
Strange that summer skier end sunshine
Never seem one-half 80 fair
A. when winters snowy pinions
Shake thoir white down in the air
Lips from which the seal Of silence
Mono but God can roll away,
Never blos5omed in such beauty
As adorns the mouth today
And sweet words that freight our memory
With their beautiful perfume,
Come to Us in sWeeter accents
Through the portals Of the tomb
Let us gather up the sunbeAms
Lying all around our path
Let ~ keep the wheat and roses,
Casting out the th1rns and chat;
Let US find our sweetest comfort
In the blessings Of to-day,
With a patient hand removing
All the briars from our way.

Upon motion OF Mr.. Fraley, the blank in the last
resolution was ordered to be filed by the executive
committee Of the Pennsylvania Industrial League
Messrs Joseph Wharton, Henry @. Lea, and William
Sellers
Mr. Wharton then, on behalf of the Industrial
League, made an appeal for funds TO further the OBJ
jects of that association.
Mr.. Stebbns, Secretary of the National Industrial
league, read report exhibiting the progress of the
National Association since the date OF its organiza-
mon lie eontrasted its objects with those OF the Free
trade League OF New York, showing how this latter
association Is employing lecturers all over the
country and making every endeavor to disseminate
their views The Gree Traders" raised $4,000 in
the course OF an hour at one of their meetings. and
can now raise almost any amount. From
this we can see how much we have to
been idle. We have published and distributed
tariff tracts to the number of at least 5000 600
and their influence has been Invaluable. We now
propose TO follow the example Of the "Free Trade"
League. and also send out lecturers
Mr.. Stebbins then read number of letters and
kilograms from prominent gentlemen in various parts
OF the country pedgng the support of their sections
to the objects Of the National Industrial League.
49, Mr.; Lee, member of the Executive Committee of
Ine PennsylVanla League stated that in speaking for
his colleagues he wished the discontinuance of that
particular association, it would naturally merge
into the National League. ..tF ...
Mr. Fraley, however, did not think that the Penn
sylVanla League should be abandoned; that the
suenRtn OF the National industrial League would
consist in well-organized State associations In this
way we make q powerful effort in the State-an
effort which in the past has uniformly proven a
success
Mr. Fraley then reviewed the history of previous
attempts 10 rear national leagues, and showed that
they must depend upon the state organizations.
He moved, in conclusion, that the "Pennsylvania
Industrial League" should be continued on its pre-
sent basis.
= Mr. James Milliken said that he thought the ques-
tion belonged to members of the convention, and
this was public meeting, called i'm the interest Of
protection generally, he would feel embarrass-
ment in voting upon it, He believed that in proteC-
ton the foundation of the Government rested. In a
recent meeting of the free traders in New York,
Greece was presented as n country devoted to the
principles Of free trade, and the speaker thought
better argument than the present condition of Greece
could be adduced in favor Of protection.
The Chairman then stated that, i'm his Judgment,
any person present entitled to vote on the reso-
luton.
Mr.. Fraley's resolution was then put, and IT was
unanimously carried.
