Not TO his Face.

The majority of railroad men in this section
know Mr.. Gill, superintendent OF an important
line in Virginia, who was noted among his en-
plloyers for extreme irasciblity of temper and a
vigor of language that caused him to be COR
daily hated by many. Two of his engineers,
one of thom by the name of Whaley, if we
mistake not were eonvcrsing about this pecu-
liarity of Mr.. Gilps, and Whaley was very
sore, having incurred the superintendent's dis
pleasure short time since, and asked if "Old
GilP,'-thc pet name by which that gentleman
was llnown-had ever i'll used him. No, in
deed, replied his friend. "He knows better ;
i cuss him every day, almost, and he don't re-
sentit. That's the way do and it works first
rate. Now, if you were to do the same thing
he wouldn't bother J on any more
Whaey thought the reasoning was good and
acted on the suggestion. Proceeding to Gills
office he entered and began pouring forth tor
rent of invectve profanity that would have
caused the hair of buccaneer TO stand on end.
The enraged superintendent was perfectly
amazed, 50 much so that he felt he couldn't do
the subject justice by replying, and ho con-
tented himself with ordering the man, whom
he thought from his temerity, must certainly
be drunk, out of his room.
Thinking from "Old Gilrs calmness that he
was "hocked,p the engineer continued his vi
tuperation until that individual became enraged
beyond endurance and going for him, pitched
the man out Of doors, and callinga clerk told
him to make out his time This was some-
thing the engineer hadn't bargained for, and
going to his comrade he told him OF tho inter-
view and its result, at the same time upbraiding
him for his advice by following which he had
lost his situation
why" said his friend, you don't mean
that you cursed Old Gill to his face - Ger
tainly do; didn't you say that was the way
you did ?" asked Whaey Indignantly. You
certainly misunderstood me-" replied the wag.
~ curse him every day, but it's always in
Bristol, and when he in Lynchburg. don t
curse him to his face-aways when at dis
lance" And that was all the consolation the
poor fellow got, but he learned lesson-neyer

knew it, remembering his. sad experience with

NEW YORK, June 2.--The Herald in
announcing the death of Mr.. Bennett, says:
Five years ago Mr.. Bennett entirely with
drew from active management of the Her.
aid, but although feeble in frame, his gen.
eral health had been remarkably good,
while his fine intellect remained unimpair-
ed and his interest in the events of the day
continued unabated up to the moment of
his fatal illness. About half past one o'clock
last Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Bennett
suffered a slight convulsive attack, accom-
panied by epileptic symptoms, but not q
sufficiently marked change to excite APP
prehension of immediate dying. At half
past one o'clock last Sunday morning the
attack was repeated with great severity.
From that time the end became evident,
although the constant attendance of doc
tors Ceccarini, Hammond and Lusk en-
surcd exhaustion of all within reach of
human efforts to avert the fatal result. On
Tuesday last at the request of Mr.. Bennett,
Archbishop McClosley visited his bed side
and administered to him the sacraments of
the church. When the last hour arrived he
sank to sleep in death calmly and peace
fully, and his soul passed away without n
struggle.
Phelps, Dodge & Co., merchants of this
city, have caused the arrest of several 9TH
er merchants on charge of conspiracy
with their janitor TO steal their private
correspondence, thereby causingthcm seri-
Gus loss in business.

A Confederate Remiaisemce.

During the late "lttIe misunder-
standing" squad of Texas cavalry
wore on duty below Gaines Land
ing on tho Mississippi river. The
citizens as a general thing, vacated
their premises, leaving furniture
and all behind. On ono occasion, the
squad appropriated transient
swine to their use, and prepared it
for cooking. A question arose as to
what they should clo for salt to sea

as Doctor r - who formed one
Of the squad, volunteered to go in
quest of the article. Leaving gun
and pistol, he hurriedIy made his
way though the tall, rank weeds,
for the deserted home of Mr.. IL.
Entering hastily, he discovered, or
imagined he did, a Yankee spy in
the house he thought he would
try the "bluf' on the spy, and i'm
modiately threw his hand to his side,
and demanded in II fierce tone-
"who the devil are you The man
spoke not, but quiting his action to

his comrades. On arriving, he with
excited breath announced his dis

SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD
The New York Bulletin says:
The acceptance of Col. Scott OF
the Presidency of the Southern Pa
citic, or more properly the Texa
Pacific, secures the prosecution OF
the work with all possible energy
and dispatch. For some time past
little or nothing has b, en- done for
this line. The Texas Pacific Com
pany succeeded to Fremont leg
ary of blunder which it was nee
essary to rectify. A large amount
of bands had been placed in the
Paris money market, and there
were also some outstanding obliga.
tons in this country that required
amicablc settlement The opera
tions were also seriously cmbarrass-
cd by the i'll health of Mr. Roberts
The interest of that gentleman in
various Southern railroad lines was
about 81 500 900, and it is under.
stood that Col. Scott has taken on,
himself the payment of that sum
Whether Col. Scott takes control OF
tue Texas Pacific Railroad on his
own responsibility or on behalf Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad or the
new Southern Railroad Security I
Company, does not yet appear
Theprsbab;liiy is that he represents
all these combined interests, and
that the rev trans continental route
will be constructed and run in con
ncctiOn with the great Pennsy
ia Railway rather than under It's di
rect control. IL is rumo-cd, and
with strong appearances Of lproba-
bility, that Gel. Scett viii now re

is interested, and devote bis whole
