Another Grain Meeting In st. Louis.

Another large and enthusiastic meeting of ousi-
ness men was held at the Southern Hotel on the
7th, 10 push the organization OF the St. Louis
Gram Association. Speeches still further setting
forth the facts ia connection with the Mississippi
route, its prscticability and cheapness as an out
let TO the for all the products Of the great val
ley, were made by Lieutenant Governor Stannsrd,
Mayor Cole, Chsuncey j. Flliey and others.
Mr.. Eilley, in reply to an article in the Chicago
Times casting doubt on his statement that foreign
goods can be laid down on the st. Louis levee as
cheap as they can be brought to New York, pro.
dGced circular from promioent Liverpool
house, quoting freiehts from November to Feb
rusIy last year at from eight to tea shillings to
New YcIk and five thilliDgsto New Orleans.
The difference in the rates. 1t is stated, will bring
Il freight from New Orleans to ST Louis. Mr..
Fiey further said, as practical proof of his as
sertion, that Barrett rerril, very heavy
cueensware house Of Chicago, import their goods
via New Orleans, because they can do 40 much
cheaper than they can VIA New York.
James II. Lucas, the weslthIest man 10 ST. Louis,
presided at the meeting. and msde speech full
of encouragement to the enterprise. He an-
bounced his purpose to subscribe Literally to the
project.
lhe meeting was very spirited, and adjourned to
meet on Change daily until the hrst 500 600 are
subscribed, when the company will be organized,
directors and officers elected. aud the plans OF the
association put into operation.
T. W. Fox predicted that the capital employed
by this company would soon be increased to ten
million dollars and that not only all the grain
points of the Mississippi, from st. Paul TO St.
Louif, but the cotton ports of the lower river,
and ligerpCol. Manchester, Birmingham, Shef-
Geld, and other English and European msnufac'
turing cities, would be Interested in it. Once
demonstrate that the great manufacturing cen
tsis Of England snd the Continent can procure
cheaper bread from New Orleans than from any
other port in America, and money will not be
wanting to push this enterprise to its fullest ex
tent; and through it an immense import trade
viii spring into existence. and New Orleans and
St. Louis will become what they ought to be-the
eat receiving and distributing points of tae
Mississippi valley.

Children of Mary the brilliant display Of the rich
and costIy banners Of the various associations, was
indescribable.
The scene in the broad streets and square was
gorgeous. Seldom, II ever, have we contemplated
such an assemblsge Of people. The confusion OF
faces and attire was kaleidoscopic, and the only
thing that we can compare the spectacle pre-
sented by the vayegsted colors worn by the people
is to an immense field of water lilies, such as we
have often seen on smaller scale 10 the marshes
OF Louisiana. The house tops even OF the Pom.
tslbs buldiDgs-severslo OF which were decorated
10 compliance with special request-were IN soma
places crowded with human beings. Including
strsnge to say, even women and children, aud
everybody remained on the ground until the
shades Of night had fairly fallen upon the grand
and noble scene.
Verify. We may say, the demonstration made on
Sunday by the Catholic portion OF our community
was worthy of the holy mar whose hftisth snui~
versary Of sacerdotal duties hiss just been accom-.
plished, and reflects great credft upon those IN
der whose direction 1t was condueted.

A LEGEND OF TABLE ROCK, CAL.

In Sierra county, towering seven thou
sand Eve hundred feet above the ocean
level, with snow which never melt be-
low its base, is seen Table Rock--a peak
with but two or three acres OF space at
the top, leve! as a floor, ond on all sides
but one perpendicular for hundreds of
feet,
Three miles below ,leeps the lively
little mining town OF Rowland Flat
four or Ave miles further to the north,
ST. Louis, another camp is seen, and
yet four or FIVE miles further, La Porte
and Port Wine, look up from their res
pecrive guIcheO. On clear day every
peak of Coast Rsnges-of Contra Cos.
Ia. as we'll rs those OF The SiOrras can be
seen from this point, all of tho Colifor-
MIA rivers traced as they wander toward
the Golieb Gate, and many Of the viii
lages and cities, by telescope aid can
be distinctly seen. In California, aud
have seen most of the States, there is
no spot where the vision cansgrasp such
o wide and lovely view.
But this is not my story.
Toiling up the narrow Trail which
leads 10 this sublime peak, on a cool
calm November day was a party Of
gentlemen and ladies'. Several Of them
belonging to the lOwn-bu! two were
visitors.
One stranger who had been there
only few days, but whose genllemanly
exterior and fno address had made him
already popular--lhO other young lady
of exquisite beauty and brilliant genius,
also on a temporary visit to the place.
She was full Of poetry and romance;
be was one who could and did appreciate
bo,h--thorefore ii was only natural that
they should pair Of from the others, and
conversing as they moved, gradually
draw away from the laughing merry
crowd behind them.
Whether fate willed it or not, or mere
rareessness was the impoIling cause, in
little while when ye! third Of the way
below tho rock, these two--wo will call
them Inez Prescott, and Merlin Carroll
turned to the left of the regulOr trail
thus approaching the Rock on its most
perpendicular and inaccessible sidc.--
The way was very rugged, but bound,
ing on over rocks, through tangled
cbap parral and over fallen logs, with the
agility and grace Of q fOwn, Inez Pres
colt kept on, aided in difficult places BY
the strong Gnd careful arm Of Carroll.
They were hailed before they were
far from the regular trail by one Of the
uar,y who shouted to them that they
we're going Que of the path, but Iuel
with a gay laugh cried VIC are independ
