CONGRESS HALL, Saratoga, July 26.
allow about the remark attributed to you
by Jennie June, Mr.. SAKE, that woman
possesses neither originality, inventive gen.
ius nor beauty"" asked of the gifted au-
thor of the Golden Calf to-dav.
81 am incapable Of such a remark" an
swered the poet Indignantly. "First, because
it would be ungallant to the lady was talk
ing to, and with her it would have been
wholly untrue, for she has wonderful in
ventive genius, then because have loving
wife and three grown daughters at home, as
beautiful as the morning."
"Whai did you say" asked Of SAKE.
"Why, by Jove! the woman did most Of
the talking herself Indeed she herself said
those very words; and because 1 didn't get
up an issue and deny them, she put them
down in big capitals and attributes them to
me. As soon AZ l was presented to her that
day, put on my moral and intellectual fine
clothes, for Knew she was on the interview,
and, by Jove: thought I'd see for once
how nice could talk. So, when she asked
me what thought of women, said "WO-
men do many things in a very clever manner
but they have succeeded as great inventors,
this, BY Jove, 1 take back now, but taken
altogether, think l see more men that
please me than women"
$50 do l." said jennie, her eyes spark
ling.
"But Humboldt 8 theory" said Mr.. SAKE,
and in fact almost every philosopher says
the same, is that the male is the most per-
feet in all the animal kingdom-see the
horse, the lion, the panther, the zebra-and
there is no reason Why nature should depart
from her habitual economy in the promo
ton of the human species"
81 think Humboldt is very right" said
Jennie.
"Well, / don't accept him altogether,
said Mr.. SAKE. MAN may have all the
excellencies Of physique, but We know wo-
men possess moral attributes superior to our
selves"

CENTRAL BxANCH q. T.. x. X

The Central Branch Union Pacific Rail-
road running wesi from Atchison is built to
Waterville, one hundred miles, upon a sub
sidy from the U. s. of $4,000 per mile
OF course the main purpose in its building
was TO obtain the subsidy.
The road runs over very billy country,
consequently il has many curves and heavy
grades. The passenger trains take six hours
to run the one hundred miles-abomt sixteen
miles an hour.
" will be impossible to ever make first
class road Of it, SO as to haul passengers and
freight with economy.
II would cost more to lower the grades than
ii would TO make a new road.
Ii does not now even pay to run one pas
senger coach day. A gentleman who came
down on the road says they left Waterville
with one coach and only five passengers.
OF course it can never be made a first
class road, SO as to compete with the X. z. X.
If the stockholders would expend five
hundred thousand dollars in improving the
road; making il as good as Western road,
generally are, they would be enabled to run
more trains, and accommodate the travelling
public, which they do not now do.

CHICAGO, Aug. AFTER drou,h Of four
weeks, Chicago and vicinity was visited by a
lively rain storm to-day.
The Common Council last evening, for the
sixth time, rejected Mayor Mason's nomi-
nees for inspectors OF the house of correction.
Ii is reported that one VIM. Wilson,
aged about 20 years, disappeared FROM his
house in this city about one week age yes
terday. A letter was received by the mother
of Wilson from person who signs himself
Charles Levant, and dates it at Alton, July
3lst, in which he states that he murdered
Young Wilson in Chicago to obtaing posses
sion of some $500 or 800 dollars, which he
claimed to have in his possession IL is the

the letter has been written by Wilson him

Tlac PERSIAN FAMINE.

Appalling accounts of the Persian famine
continue TO reach ia. The details show it to
he the most dreadful on record. Two years
ago couple of millions of people died in
India from starvation, but the mortality in
Persia is greater still. l; is calculated that
fifty per cent. of its eight millions Of people
have already persisted, while the cholera
pestilence is busily at work among the sur
viving hunger-strlcken multitude. These
are described As being almost beyond the
reach Of help, since even il food was brought
from India there are no cattle left to trans
port Il into the interior; while even il there
were, it is months journey from India to
to the stricken provinces. One indirect
cause q The famine IL sal. TO have been our
own civil war; the high price of cotton hav-
ing induced many smaller cultivators of the
soil to abandon raising other croks and en-
bark in its production. The high cost o
opium, owing to the tax imposed upon its ex-
portation by the East India Government has,
it is said, also stimulated the production of
peoples instead of grain, and reduced the
aree of land employed in raising provisions.

The Atchison Central Branch Z. p. Rail-
road offers IN unequaled facilities for
travel and shipment. One train goes over
the road each week, stopping fifteen minutes
at every patch of timber for the accommoda-
ton of the officers Of the road and passen-
gers. Owing to the primitive nature of the
cars, emigrants DESTROYS of travelling for the
season, should buy ticket over this road.
As precautionary measure, the cow-catcher
