ALEXANDRIA AND FREDERICKSBURG R. r.
We understand that there is a great
deal of talk in railroad circles about the
completion of the Alexandra and Frcder-
icksburg Railroad, and that the prospects
are very promising for direct communica-
ton by rail between Richmond and Wash
ington, through connection with the
proposed road and the Frede ricksburg and
Potomac line, which will place us within
Eve hours of the capital of the nation
The road bed of the new improvement was
constructed within seven miles of Alex
andria before the war, under bogus sort
of an organization, cotton up by one
Joseph B. Stewart, who obtained char
ter by representing himself to be the
agent of a New York Company. The
Fredericksburg and Potomac Company
now propose to complete the road, and
then to connect with it, thereby making
a continuous line from Washington to
Newbern. In making this change they
have to sacrifice that valuable portion of
their road from Fredericksburg to the
Potomac, which terminates at Aqua
Creek and connects with the Washington
steamers but that will be very small
loss compared to the immense advantages
that will be gained by direct and uninter-
rupted railroad communication. Besides,
they might still continue their Potomac
road as the cheapest line for freight car
riage.-Richneond State Journal

A story is told of an old lady who lived
near Rochester who had never sent or
travelled ON railroad. Wanting to 20 on
visit to small town a short distance
from the city, she thought she would try
one of the pesky things. She went to the
ticket office, carrying her reticule on one
arm and an old fashioned rocking chair on
the other. She bought her ticket, walked
out on the platform, put down her rocking
chair, sat down in it took out her knitting
and went to work, diligently Steadily
she rocked and worked, trains coming in
or leaving as the car time came round.
The old lady made no attempt to get Oh

the depot master went up and asked her if

That Tarnal Stuff.

@.sse S~-~AAs
To hear Cough tell the "drugger"
story is worth quarter at any time
The story is capital one, but it takes the
man to tell it. This he does in some
such words as these
A long, lean, gaunt Yanke entered a
drug store and asked:
''Be you the drugger ?"
well | s'pose SO sell drugs"
tWaal hev you got any Nv this here
scentin stuff as the gals put on their
handkerchief?''
80 yes"
"Waal our SAILS gwine to be married,
and she gave me ninepence and told me
to invest the hull amount in scentin' stuff,
SOS to make her sweet, if | could find
some to suit; SO if you've mind I'll just
smell round"
The Yankee smelled round without
being suited until the druggist got tired
of him, and taking down bottle of
hartshorn, said:
''Pve got a scentin' stuff that will
suit you. A single drop on your hand
kerchief will stay for weeks, and you
can't wash it out {; but to get the strength
of it you must take big smell"
us that so, Mister? WAL, just hold
on minute till get my breath, and
when I say now, you putt under my
snlellers."
The hartshorn, of course, knocked the
Yankee down, as liquor has done many
man. Do you suppose he got up and
smelt again, as the drunkard does? Not
he; but rolling up his sleeves and doub-
ling up his fists he said:
"You made me smell that tarnal, ever
lastin' stuff, mister, and now I'll make
you smell hells fire and birthstone"
