How Jim Fisk Enriched vanderbilt.

The following incident in Fisk's ca
reer illustrates his fertility of resource
when closely concerned by a powerful
opponent. Vanderbilt had grown
Jealous of Fisk and determined to
crush him. The rea6iest way to 90
that he thought would be by destroy
ing the Erie railroad. With this end
in view he issued an order lowering
the rates on freight from Chicago and
asked Erie to do likewise. Fisk as
sented, and cattle consequently were
brought from the west in great num-
bers and at small cost. By special
agreement the rates on Vanderbilt's
line and on Fisk's were uniform. At
ter q few weeks, however, Vanderbilt
showed his hand. Giving the Erie
officers short notice, he broke faith
with Fisk and announced that for
twenty days the freight on the Cen
tral would be 81 so per head instead Of
"a. He expected to crush Erie by
this move, but he reckoned without
Eisk. The latter made no alteration
in the rate on the Erie road, but quiet
ly directed his agent in the West to
purchase 40, 900 head Of cattle and send
them by Vanderbilt's route. The cat
tie were soon purchased, and Fisk
had the pleasure Of seeing Vanderbilt
carrying freight for him at less than
the cost of running the trains. OF
course the Commodore soon grew tired
Of fighting against such odds, and The
rates were again raised to those Of the
Erie. Fisk cleared S100,OOO by this
transaction, direct from the Central.
But this was not the full extent of the
damage done the Commodore. When
the Central was blocked with Fisk's
90 600 head of cattle, the Erie was
open and carrying other freight at its
own rates. 81

A Curious Idea.

At a recent meeting Of the Cincin-
natl horticultural Society, the follow.
ing letter from Mr.. W. II. Mckinney,
of Morrow, Ohio, was read, and eX-
cited much remark: "a friend of
mine in Jacksonville, Florida, writes
me that he has made a discovery,
which he regards as very important.
By the use OF conclusion he has de-
stroyed all the insects in and around
his orchard and nursery grounds. A
railroad track runs through his
grounds, and two trains pass daily
-one in the fore part and Of the night
and the other in the latter part His
attention became drawn to the fact
that his peaches, pluIns, grapes, ETC.,
along on both sides of the railroad,
were very slightly injured, no insects
scarcely, seeming to depredate upon
them, but IN other parts Of his grounds
much damage was done by them.
Believing that it was the concussion
on the atmosphere by the passage
of the train that caused this, he
concluded that he would see what
conclusion would do If practiced on q
large scale. COnseqentIy he placed
two pounds of powder in q hollow
live oak stump, and put fuse and fire
to itin thecalmest portion of the night.
The result was that there We're no
more insects to be found, and no more
committed by them in
his orchard. He claims that it killed
every eurculio. More than this, Mr..
says that his trees and grape
vines sprang into new Yigor, the like
Of which he never saw before. When
tried at night the atmosphere being
dense and in a calm, it is destructive,
too, TO the caterpiller. He regards it,
furthermore, the greatest purifier Of
the atmosphere, destroying the ami
malcule in it, thus removing the ex-
citing cause Of yellow fever, cholera,
etc."

ALearned Counsel.

Shortly after Iowa was admitted IN
to the Union, Congress organized the
United States District Court for the
State. The first appOintees, both
Judge and District Attorney, were,
at the time Of their appointment, re-
markably innocent Of the law''-the
first being an importation from the
AOld Dominion - who long since was
called to appear before a higher tri-
bunal, and the latter, one who has
since become one Of the ablest and
most successful practioneers IN the
State.
Soon after the organization Of the
court, an old settler was indicted for
selling liquor to the Indians, and on
his trial, which took place on the Sth
Of January, was defended by old Gil
p. in q speech which some Of
those who hear it ought to embalm.
In summing up, old Gil who carries
the most sarcastic tongue IN MS head
that ever crossed the Father of Wa
ters-repeatedly alluded 70 the dis
trict Attorney as "my learned friend,
the attorney for the government, I"
and be, construing the phrase as re-
deeting on his professional acquire
ments, called old Gil to order sever
al times, and finally asked the Court
to protect him from the insults Of the
counsel. Whereupon the Judge
Strengthened himself up and remark
ed that ne didn't see any occasion for
so much sarcasm.
aBut your honor" said the defend.
ants counsel, 81 am not aware that /
have used any sarcastic language to-
ward my learned friend, the attorney
for the government"
"There,n broke out the judge,
ithat's Just it. You are continually
ringing the changes on your learned
friend, and / see no occasion for it."
"But your honor,n said Gil, 81 did
not mean to be sarcastic. When /
speak Of my learned friend, the attOr-
ney for the government, I mean, in
sober truth, precisely what 1 say -
and opening the statute organization
the Court, he read that NsOme person
learned in the law shall be appointed
Judge, and that some other person,
learned IN the laE, shall be appointed
District AttoFney.p "a f
$50 your honor viii perceive" he
continued, "that my learned friend,
the attorney for the government, Is
learned, not simply in the sense which
am supposed to be learned, not sim
ply in the sense in which my breth-
rem at the bar are learned, but he is
made learned by express act Of Con-
gress."
The Attorney for the government
subsided, and the Judge settled so far
down in his seat, that he disappeared
from sight, and old Gils client there
after sold whiskey to the Indians
without fear Of prosecution before his
eyes.

The changes of meaning that often

phrase originally grave in its mean.

Some Introductory lines in South

read as follows
"Who at this untimely hour
Wander o'er the desert sands?
No station is in view"
Now this no longer true. The Great
Desert is crossed by a railway, and
there are several stations. Many 9TH
er instances might be adduced in
which a comic effect is produced in a
passage Of grave and even lofty die
tion by the use of some phrase which
has become slang. Thus in the open
