line; H. w. Vandegrift chief engineer and
general superintendent of the Orange,
Alexandria and Manassas railroad; Henry
Erink, general superintendent OF the Alex
andria, Manassas and Orange line; X. G.
jackson, superintendent of the Virginia,
Tennessee and Georgia line; f. G. Barney,
superintendent of the Selma, Rome and
Dalton railroad; j. C.. Stanton, general
superintendent of the Alabama and Chatta-
tendent of the Memphis and Charleston
road.
There was also present, in addition to

railroad; John Tucker, president of the
Selma, Rome; and Dalton railroad; X. L.
Wilson, president of the East Tennessee and
Georgia railroad NJ. j. Wicks, president OF

the New York and Washington line.
William Prescott Smith presided, and
stated the object of the meeting. The
meeting took into consideration the plan of
establishing a thorough through route
South and adopted resolution to run two
daily trains from New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, and Washington to Memphis,
Tennessee, Montgomery, Alabama. Meri-
dian, Mississippi, Mobile, and New Orleans.
time table was made out for the line,
which will be published in a few days.
These extra trains will be placed on the
route by the first of July. Many impor-
tant changes have been made in the man
agement of the line, affording better facili-
ties for Southern travel than are offered by
any other routes via these points, and will
thus enable this newly proposed route to
compete successfully with rival lines, as the
time will be much the quickest, and the
distance considerably shorter. The move
ment will bring the principal Southern roads
more directly into the markets, and into
public notice.
The meeting, after discussion of topics of
q general character i'll relation to the rail-
road interests, adjourned, TO meet again at
the call of the chairman.

The Shreveport Gazette of the sixth in
slant says:
Saturday last was very warm day, and
the passengers on the Southern Pacific rail
road, or rather large number of them,
partOok of the ice cream vended on the
train by freedman of color by the name
of Judge Mitchell, formerly an employe of
the Brooks House, in this city, and all who
did so indulge were taken very sick. lead
ing at once to the inference that the cream
was poisoned by mistake. Notwitbstand-
ing the victims, among whom were the con-
ductor and mail agent suffered consider
ably, no fatal result is to be reported. 1t is
thought that prussic acid was used instead
of the tlavoring extract intended.

The Terrebonne Republican says of the
new branch railroad:
The grading on the railroad from the sta
ton to Houma has already commenced. A
number of laborers are at work near the
station, and we are informed that work is
commenced near Mr.. Minors plantation.
This is certainly good news to the citizens
of our parish, Eand we can't overestimate
the benefits to be derived from the compile
ton of this important branch Of the Morgan
railroad.

The Cincinnati Commercial says that it
was Secretary Stanton W no saved Lambden
b. Milligan from execution for his active
opposition to the government during the
war, and that he did it at the request of
Mrs. Milligan. who, when child, was one
of Secretary StantOn's schoolmates.

The Ahakopas Register says:
The rains have continued this week, and
planters are growing serious. Hands are
driven to keep down the grass, and will be
fortunate if they succeed. The young cane
is tender and will not bear heavy treatment.

KA.FOOZLE.UM.

In ancient days there lived Turk,
A horrid beast within the East,
Who did the Prophets holy work,
As Babs of Jerusalem.
He had a daughter sweet and smirk,
Complexion fair, and dark blue hair,
With naught about her like Turk,
Except the name, Ia foozle um.
Oh Ka- foozle-uml ! Ka foozIe um IA foozle-
um
Oh! Ka- fooz!e um! The daughter of the Baba
youth resided near to she;
His name was Sam, perfect lamb
He was of ancient pedigree,
And came from old Methusalsc1.
He drove trade, and prospered well,
In skins of cats and ancient bats
And ringing at the Baba's bell
He saw and loved Ka foozle um.
If Sam had been a Mussulman
He might have sold the Baba old,
And with n verse of Alcoran
Have managed to bamboozle him;
But, oh, dear no he tried to scheme,
Passed one night late the area gate,
And stole up to the Turks hareem
To carry off Ka-foozle-um.
The Baba was about to smoke,
His slaves rushed in with horrid din,
"Mashalla dogs your house have broke,
Come down my lord. and toozle 'em p'
The Baba wreathed his face III smiles,
Came down the star and witnessed there
I he gentleman in three old tiles,
a kissing of Ka-fooZle-um.
The pious Baba said no more
Than twenty prayers, but went up stairs,
And took "A bow string from a drawer,
And came back to Ka fooze um.
The maiden and the youth be took,
And chOked them both, and, lit e loath,
Together pitched them in the brook
OF Kedron, near j erusalem.
And still, the ancient legend goes,
Whep day is gone from Lebanon,
And when the eastern moonlight throws
A shadow on erusalem,
Between the wailing of the cats,
A sound there falls from ruined walls,
A ghost is seen with three old hats
a kissing of Ka-fooze um.
Oh IA foozle- um kafoozle um ! Ka-foozle
um
Oh! Ka foOzle um! The daughter of the Babs

The Fat COntriDut or's Weather
Reports.

We have lost confidence in the Chief Sig.
nal Officer of the War Department at Wash
ington, and his weather report One day be
said the weather would be clear; we loaned
our umbrella, and it rained like blazes.
So we established signal officer of our
own in Washington. The following, which
is his first report, is eminently satisfactory
WAsHINGToN, April 20, 1890 P M.-Sy-
nopsis for The past twenty four hours: The
barometer got very low on the Pacific coast
1t got SO low it went around among the sa-
looms playing whisky poker. At some Rocky
Mountain station it fell nearly five hundred
feet.
A heavy snow is reported in Wyoming
Territory. Some of it weighs more than
twenty ounces to the pound.
The barometer has risen throughout the
Mississippi Valley. 1t rose at five O'Clock,
washed aud shaved. and put on clean shirt
The clouds that threatened the weather in
Eastern Patagonia are dissipated. Efforts
are being made to induce the clouds to sign
the pledge and quit their dizsipated habits,
but thus far without avail
The barometer is stationary on the sea-
board, evidently satisfied with the board
On the upper lakes il has risen to about fifty
cents on the dollar.
1t is threatening weather in Georgia and
Tennessee. If it don't stop threatening
weather Congress will interfere under the
provisions of the Ka- kIux bill, weather or
no.
Atmosphere of Washington much i'm
proved since Congress adjourned.
Light rains are beginning to prevail In
Pennsylvania. They are a great improve
ment on the heavy rens that have heretofore
accompanied the old fashioned Dutch har-
ness in that State.
The barometer is stationary in Texas
That is about all the stationery they have in
that benighted State.
There is a small! area Of increased pressure
on the lower lakes. u. N" agrees to as
sumo the pressure himself
The highest barometer now extends from
Georgia to Connecticut. 1t is some II feet
high.
There is a fall of rain in Colorado. 1t is
expected to get down to par in few DAYS.
Probabilities. 1t is probable that the ba =
rometer will continue to fall lover on its
nose) so long as it keeps high" as it is now
Fresh winds may be expected to prevail on
The lakes, but the winds on the ocean will
continue to be salt as heretofore. The pres
sure will slowly diminish in the North, but
it is likely to be Increased in the Southern
States. On the Atlantic coast of the North
ern lakes. look out for clear. squally, pleas
ant, stormy, sun>shiny weather.-Cincinnati
