MISCELLANEOUS.

ToPEKA, KANSAS, July 3O.-John z.
Page, who began an action to recover
$1,000 paid into the Kansas Legislature
by A. NJ. York, abandoned the case to-
day, paying all the costs. The suit was
to recover the money now in the hands
of the State Treasurer, on the grounds
set forth by ex-senator Pomeroy in his
defense, that the money was paid to
York to be given to Page in the estab-
lishment Of a bank at independence.
The case was set down for hearing on
the eleventh of August, and it was
thought a postponement would be asked,
as all the testimony given in the crimi-
nal action against Pomeroy would natu-
rally be adduced. 1t is now a very puz-
cling question who the money belongs
to, as it is positively understood that
Pomeroy will set no claim on his own
account

uow RAILRoADs ARE BUILT.

A cotemperary has put on his subma'
rine armor, and has taken dive into
railroad building waters, from which he
brings up the following valuable speci-
mems found at the bottom:
The usual manner Of proceeding in the
huilding Of local roads in the West, IS to
induce the cities, towns and counties
through which the road is to pass, to
issue their boRds for nearly, if not quite
enough money to build the road. Then,
before being completed, it is mort
gaged. Default is made in pay
ing the interest on the mortgage
bonds. the road is sold, and the stock
az the communities that subscribed the
money to build it, at one fell swoop is
rendered worthless. The road is bought
in usually by combination OF its Board
Of Directors, who, generally. are only
agents FOR some great Eastern lines, the
stock of the road is watered up to two
or three times its value, and the farmers
who borrowed the money to build the
road in the first place, and who are still
having interest on their bonds issued for
that purpose, are charged exorbitant
freight rates in order to pay these bogus
owners ten per cent. interest on their
fictitious capital.

Baby's Stocking.

Hang up the babys stocking,
Be sure that you don't forget;
The dear, little, dimrled darling!
She never saw Christmas yet.
But I've told her all about it,
And she opened her big blue eyes,
And Pm sure she understood me,
She looked so funny and wise.
Dear dear! what tiny stocking!
doesn't take much to hola
Such little pink toes as pap!
Away from The frost and coid:
Rut then for the baby's Chrls'nias
II never will do at al; - ,oo,,;
WI santa Claus wouldn't be LOOKING
For ANYTHING half SO small.
r1,ov what we'll do for the baby;
Eve thought of the very best plan,
ri borrow a stocking of grandma;
The longest that ever l can,
Aud you'il hang it by mine, dear mother.
Right here in the corner-so,
And write letter to Santa,
And fasten it on to the toe.
Write. "This is the baby's stocking
That hangs in the corner here;
Y on never nave seen her, Santa,
For she only came this year;
Blu she's just the blessedest baby,
And now before you go,
Ju 4 cram her stocking with goodies
From the top clear down to the toe"
