THE RAILROAD 1rlBEOeLIO.

Facts made known since the Mem.
phis and Charleston cempany's stock
holders were convened In this city
have dissipated all doubts as to the
solvency of the Southern Security
Railway company. In fact the bank
ruptcy of this Southern Railway Sc
curity company would explode the
whole railroad system Of the Union as
II a continental powder magazine had
been fired. There are more than FIVE
thousand miles Of railroads whose for
tunes are inseparsbly linked with those
of Tom Scott alone, one of the Railway
Security company, and the execution
Of this contract now considered here,
is Dy no means Of vital import to such
"a association welding eli this wealth
aud commercial power. The
Chattanooga and Alabama and the
Eicksburg and Meridian roads
are not impossible Of acquisition.
The State of Alabama would gladly
sell, and the Southern Security COM
pany. with Aspinwsu and others as
potent as himself to control State
bonds, may find means to satisfy the
demands Of Alabama. The State, in
manAging a railroad, viii soon wreck
the road and It's own finances. The
fruit is not yet ripe, but viii soon fall
into the clutches Of the Security COM
psny. It is simply q question Of time,
and therefore the value Of the oppor-
tUnity now profered to stockholders
in the Memphis and Charleston road.
Spectators last night we're selling
Memphis and Charleston railroad
stock short" In New York by tele-
graph, the impression prevailing here
that the sale TO Scott would be de-
fested and g sudden decline In the
value Of the stock being an inevitable
result. In fact, the impression
prevails that a msrvelously proper
ring has been organized to de-
feat the sale 70 Tom Scott in or
der that e majority Of the stock may
be bought up at from twenty to thirty
cents. Then there will occur another
stockholders' meeting and Tom Scott
viii have things his own way. In
this event, those just outside the cir
conference Of the ring will forever
remain in that ''Outer darkness" Of
which we have read in some prophetic
book. II the proposed contract be ex-
ecuted the big fish and the ssrdines
viii all float in the same pool; II the
trade be not made, the minnows will
be helplessly gobbled by the greater
sharks.

IT seems that the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad company exc
cuted g contract to build little rail-
road in the mountains, and 1t is feared
that this contract, which the Security
company declines to assume, frightens
the stockholders convention. They
would have Tom Scott take this little
elephant Of their hands. Suppose
the stockholders keep their little
bsntIIng ana let 1t lie and rot. What's
the result2 They viii be sued for
damages, we are told. Who Is dam
aged? Not the vendors Of this little
road, because it never would, Il
finished, pay anybody anything.
The people along the line Of
this little road cannot sue, for they
have no contract with any one.
Tom Scott can not sue, for his contract
leaves it optional with the Memphis
and Charleston railroad company 10
build this little road, OF not, as they
choose. The Nashville and Chatta-
noogs road might buy this bugbear Of
a railroad. and may be represented
here in order to defeat the trade with
Scott. Succeeding In this, the Nash
vile and Chattanooga road can buy
the little bantling on its own terms.
Moreover, If Tom Scott secures the
Memphis and Charleston road, the
Nashville and Chattanooga road loses
its resources to the extent that they
are derived from the roads in East
Tennessee. Half the traffic and 4avel
from Chattanooga to Memphis and
st. Louis now goes over the Nashville
and Chattanooga and Nashville and
Northwestern roads. II Tom Scott
secures the Memphis and Charleston
road, there Is an end Of all this.

A PRoD1GY.-Washington and Lee Univer-
sity has among its students youth of whom
the Lexington Gazette furnishes the following
account:
We have received the first number of the
Rockbridgo Baths Rcriew, Brown Ayres, editor
and proprietor. The Reuie,O is not as large as
the London Tines but is very sprightly. 1t is
n tri-weekly. Brown Ayres Is student OF our
University and about fourteen years old. He
sets up and prints his paper without any assis-
tance. 1t is model of Typographical beauty.
"Browny" is a rare genius. His home is in
New Orleans. How the pctted little fellow
ever learned so much about the printing busi,,
ness. is mystery. He has at his fingers end
the history of all the presses, their comparative
merits and the reasons. The type founders are
we'll known, and their style of work. He is
tasteful lob printer--in word, a case full OF
ali sorts of typical matter well distributed.
Printing is but one of his many accomplish
mcnts He erected with his own hands tele-
graph line along our streets; put up the in
strumcnts and taught some amateur operators
among his friends, the students. He touches
the "key" with rare deXterity. He Is not
mere mechanical operator, but IN expert eiec-
trician, and was employed by the Professor in
the University to explain to class the reasons
of the telegraph.
He carries with him little portable French
Photographic Instrument and takes views
when 4 scenery pleascs him. With all his ge-
MUS he is frolicksome as kitten and gentle as
girl.

STRIPED BUGS AND CoCKRoACHEs.-I pro-
nose to inform you what know about the de-
sstruction of one sort, and the prevention of the
rayages of another. The bugs refer to are
striped ones, that are so destructive to melon
and other vines, and the cockroach. For the
last two years l have been in the habit of using
hen manure for my vines, and have not been
troubled at all with the striped bug while my
neighbors' vines have been injured very much
by Them Last year began to suspect why
nv vines were exempt from their ravages, and
on hearing one of my neighbors complaining
that the "bugs were eating up his melon vines, !"
| told him what l thought kept them from
mine. He told me that he had used hen ma
nure for part of his vines, and had noticed
that the bugs had not touched them.
Several years ago I had honey in vial,
and after using nearly all of it, 1 set the vial
ON one of the timbers of an unfinished upper
room of m old house where the cockroachcs
were numerous. The vial was left uncorked,
and stood so that the reaches could get at the
ton of it. On going near where it stood, q day
or two afterward, 1 noticed something singular
in its appearance, and on closer inspection
found it packed full of cockroaches and they
were all dead. So concluded that honey in a
small-necked bottle, placed in proper posi-
ton, is a good trap for reaches. And hen
manure in the hill is a good remedy for the
rayages of the striped bug on melon and other
yines.-M IL Baker.

its streets into hundreds of compartments at
night. and in or over each compartment is a

every little community within these gates is
responsible to the authorities, for there is no
local police. The system works well-shuts

A CALM AND PEACEFUL LIrE.-Said
very old man, "some folks are always COM
planning about the weather, but 1 am very
thankful when 1 wake up in the morning to
find any weather at ALL" We may smile at the
simplicity of the old man, but still his Ian
guage indicates spirit that contributes much
to calm and peaceful life. 1t is better and
wiser to cultivate that spirit than to be con-
tinually complaining of things as they are;
if God secs it will be for your good and his
glory. he will give you many more At least,
do not make yourself and others unhappy by
your ingratitude and complaint.
