A LOTOS OF THE NILE.

IT was nine O'Clock on night of clear
July starlight. The heat of the day had
been intense, and all the guests Of The
Willows were assembled on the lawn, in.
tent upon the effort of keeping cool, il
such a thing were at all possible.
Everybody had been silent for some
time when Mrs. Lancaster's voice broke
the stiffness. "Suppose we get up a
party for the White Sulphur Who will
join it?"
II am not going to the White Sulphur
this year." answered Eleanor Milbourne.
"Not going to the White Sulphur"
repeated Mrs. Lancaster in a tone
of surprise. "Of course might
have known that the temptation to
break the pledge OF total abstinence from
Irritation would be too great in that para
disc of Irritation Besides, Mr.. Brent's
yacht is homeward bound, is it nOt?'
II am not aware that there is any con-
nection between Mr.. Brent's yacht and
my decision about the White Sulphur"
answered Miss Melbourne haughtily.
Then she turned to the person next her, a
recumbent figure lying at full length on
the grass. II don't know anything OF
which one grows so weary as of watering.

she said. don't think shall ever go to

"Take care!" said the recumbent
"Don't make an abstinence pledge of that
kind: what will you do with yourself in
,summer?'
II should like to travel"
with yacht such desire would be
easily gratified."
But have no yacht" said she.
Mr.. Brent has, however, and am sure
he will be happy to place it at your ser.

You are very kind to answer for Mr.
Brent"
II answer for him because l judge him
by myself. If had feet it should be
subject to your command"
"YOu are very generous" said she.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Lancaster was calling
over the roll Of the company like an or
derby sergeant, intent upon beating up
recruits for the White Sulphur. major

Clare?i Then, when the gentleman who
had just offered Miss Milbourne his airy

"You will 60, will you not!"
he answered. II have danced my last

next month I shall probably be en- route
for Egypt"
"For Egypt" she repeated; and cho.
rus Of voices instantly echoed the excla-
nation. "For Egypt! Nonsense! You
are jesting."
"No, am not iesting," said Victor
Glare, lifting himself on one elbow: II

what the position is, because my mind is
not yet made up TO accept it; and even if
IT were, such things should not be pub
lished on the house-tops. But if anybody
here has fancy for Joining the army Of
the Khedive, l may be able to give him a
few important particulars"
Nobody responded. Victor Clare sank
back in the grass and addressed himself
to Miss Milbourne.

Sending diseased meat to market is
properly and promptly punished in En-
gland. A rich cattle dealer named John
Pullcn, described as "a highly respectable
man." had a cow suffering from hip dis
ease, slaughtered her, carefully removed
the diseased hip, and sent the rest Of the
carcass to London, with the following
memorandum to the consignee: "Three
quarters and a loin Of beef, very whole
some. The bullock (it was acow) hurt its
leg. Please sell best you can" The au-

k9nQHIl uhA VIM AAAssAAAS O~s~S~ s~~'
To the Editor Of the Portland Press.
An article recently appeared in your paper
touching the course pursued by some of
our citizens, and particularly by Mr.. Daniel
Bunker towards the Maine Central Railroad
Company, which is calculated to give a wrono
impression, and we wish to set you right in re-
gard to the matter.
All the proceedings in this case have been
carried on under the direction of the subscrib-
ers' acting as committee on the part of our
village, and the facts are as follows
When the railroad authorities proposed to
run their Bangor track down on the east side OF
the river. the people of our village saw al
glance, that the proposition involved seIiouS
blow to the interests OF our place. DIS tlere
wonld be a toll bridge between us and the pro-
posed Bangor depot And not only MI Bunk
or bpt nearly all our citizens. determined at
once to adopt such measures as would best Sc
cure our interest.
While we were celebrating on the course
best to pursue for accomplishing that end, the
railroad authorities called on Mr. Bunker for
the purpose of getting his consent to cross his
land. He told them clearly and squarely that
they could not use his land for any such pur-
pose. at any price which they might offer him.
Subsequent negotiations were had between us
and the railroad directors, which resulted in an
agreement on the part of the Railroad Com
pany, to furnish US funds sufficient to buy the
toll bridge and make it a free bridge, 50 that
we can now have a free passage way to the
new depot on the east side of the river, which
is entirely satisfactory to all parties concerned.
When this was accomplished the railroad au-
thorties made Mr.. Bunker fair offer for
passage over his land and he accepted the offer
and gave them deed for that purpose.
This is all there was to what you call Judge
Rice's "suduiter in n,odo ct fortiter IN re- to-
wards the sturdy yeon,an."
Respectfully yours,
is. BROWN

A Railroad Measure,

A section relative to railroad operations
has been presented to the Ohio constitution
al convention for its consideration that is
worthy of notice. Its purpose is clearly TO
make the railroads of that State subseryient
to the interests of the people and to prevent
the abuses that have disgraced the manage
ment OF some of the leading roads of the
country. 1t doubles, had its origin from the
anti-railioad extortion feeling that is now tie
leading topic under discussion throughout
the West
The proposed constitutional provision in
the first place provides, by general law, for
Tree railroad building in the State and that
any road may connect and intersect with
other roads, without discrimination as to tar
ifs, and without delay 1t is further provid-
ed that every railroad company in the State
shall keep .blic office where transfers of
its stock shall be made and kept for the in
spection of all parties interested, these books
to contain the amount of capital stock, own
ers names and shares. Another section pro-
vides that railroad companies doing business
In Ohio shall be forever taxed and that all
rolling stock is to be taxed and considered as
other personal property IN the State. The
consolidation OF competing lines is forbidden
or even the running of such roads by one
agent. A majority of the directors must also
be residents of the State. Railroad corpora
tons are forbidden to be interested directly or
indirectly in any mining or manufacturing
company, or to own more real estate than is
necessary for doing their business
Another section provides that no dlscrimi-
nation is lawful against the people of the
State but persons and goods must be carried
in the State on as favorable terms as they are
brought into Or carried Thought The meas
ure also provides that the general assembly
Of the State shall have power to regulate and
establish the maximum tariffs of railroads.
All railroads are further declared to be public
highways, and all individuals, corporations or
tion of persons or freight, except such trans
portation companies as may be formed
of railroad officers. This regulation
is intended to prevent a ring within
the corporation, which shall act prejudicially
to the interests of the company or common
wealth. Issue of stock or bonds, except for
money, labor or property actually received
and applied to legitimate purposes, all stock
dividends or other fictitious increase of capt.
tai, are declared void, and capital stock and
Indebtedness can be increased only in accord
ance with law and with consent of majority
of stockholders.
