THE MAN KILLED ON THE RICHMOND
FREDERICKSBURG AND POTOMAC
RAILROAD IDENTIEIED.-Th man that
was killed by the engine of the mail train
on the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Po-
tomac railroad yesterday morning, was
identified to-day at the moIgue by the
brother of the deceased as that of Adolph
Frederick Shultz, who resided on Oregon
Hill, near the penitentiary. Deceased was
native of Prussia, and had been in this
country seventeen years. He was in the
sixty-frst year of his age, and leaves a
family. His trade was that of a wheel
wright, but he had not worked at 1t for
some time, we presume on account of his
age. On the morning of the accident he left
home for the purpose of going into the
country after grapes, and as he was deaf
he did not hear the whistle of the engine
until it was very near ldm, and then, in
stead Of getting off at once, ran little
distance and stepped to one side Of the
track, when he was struck by the bumper
and killed. The engineer blew the whistle
repeatedly as soon as he saw him and
put down brakes, but as the train was
going at the rate Of about thirty-fiye miles
an hour he did not succeed in stopping 1t
within one hundred and fifty yards of tho
point at which the man was struck.

AN OLDEN TIME MARRIAGE IN
HENRICo. In looking to-day over the old
records Of Henrico county court we en-
countered the marriage bond Of an ancient
couple which, together with the endorsement
Of Major Adam Craig, an old Revolutionary
officer, who was first clerk Of the court,
may throw some light on the matter-of- fact
way they used to conduct business in the
olden time. The following are the papers
alluded to: ~

sANDALPHoN
BY H. ". LoEGFELLOW.

Have you read in the Talmud of old,
In the legends the Rabies have told,
OF the limitless realms Of the air;
Haveyou read 1.-THE marvellous story
OF Sandslphon, the Angel Of Glory,
Sandalphon, the Angel of Prayer?
How erect, at the Outermost gates
OF the City Celestial he waits,
With his feet on the ladder of light,
That crowded with angels unnumbered,
By Jacob was seen, as he slumbered
Alone in the desert at night?
The Angels of Wind and Pire,
Chant only one hymn and expire
With the songs irresistible stress
Expire in their rapture and wonder,
As harpstrings are broken assunder
By the music they throb to express.
But serene in the rapturous throng,
Unmoved by the rush of the song,
With eyes unimpassioned and slow,
Among the dead angels, the deathless
Sandolphin stands listening breathIess,
To sounds that ascend from below
From the spirits on earth that adore,
From tbs souls that entreat and implore
In the frenzy and passion of prayer
From the hearts that are broken with losses
And weary with dragging the crosses
Too heavy for mOrtals to bear
And he gathers the prayers as he stands,
And they change into flowers in his hands,
Into garlands ofpurplS and red;
And beneath the great arch of the portal,
Through the streets of the City Immortal,
Is waited the fragrance they shed.
1t is but legend know
A fable, phantom, show
OF the ancient Rabbinical lore;
Yet the old Medieval tradition,
The beautiful, strange superstition,
But haunts me and holds me the more.
When look from my window at night,
And the welkin above is all white,
All throbbinE and painting with stars.
Among them majestic is standing,
sandalphOn, the angel, expanding
His pinions in nObulous bars.
And the legend feel is part
OF the hunger and thirst Of the heart,
The frenze and fire Of the brain,
That grasps at the fruitAge forbidden,
The golden pomegranates of Eden,
To quiet its fever and pain.

It is generally known in Washington That tho
law which forbids Congressmen to act as at
torneys or claim agents in the Departments is
practically imperative. While the letter Of tho
law is observed, its spirit il constantly evaded.
4 Washington correspondent describes the
method which some Congressman have adopted
as follows: Whom it becomes known that the
legal adviser, or the chief Of 4 Bureau, hns de-
cidcd TO report unfayorab1y on certain claim,
the next step is to get tho matter in 4 dit-
ferent light befolo tho. Commissioner OF
tic Secretary. The regular attorney is notified
that there is but ono wny to do this. Re must
secure the cooperation OF som6 Congressman
who has influence with the Secretary, or Com
missioner, and ho is told that this corporation
can be secured only through third porson who
is on friendly torms With tho said Congressman.
The regular attorney then employs tho go-be-
tween aud pays him fec for his influence. To
all outward appearances, tie Congressman re-
ceives no pay, but ho excrts his influence aud his
u friend" gets the money. It is said that
these operations have become frequent Of late.
The. example sooms to hsro been set up by SEN
ator Carpenter in the New York Central Railroad

Tho States OF Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio arc
petitioners before Congress, through their re-
spectiye Governors, for sum Of money amount
ing TO 81 800, 900. Tho bill appropriating that
sum has passed the House OF Representatives,
and is now before tho Senate. The history OF
the claim is this: Seventy years ago, tho grand
idea OF internal improvements among American
statesmen was the construction OF macadam-
lied wagon road from Cumberland, in tho State
Of Maryland, to the Ohio River, with branch
from that point to Kentucky, and another
through the States Of Ohio, Indiana, and nli-
noia, to Missouri. It WAS the intention to e1-
tend the Kentucky branch Of the national road
through Tennessee, and thence to Louisiana
md Alabama, and the Western read vaa to he
extended tt least to Jefferson City, the capital
OF Missouri.
In the several acts OF Congress admitting the
States Of Ohio, Louisiana, Alabama, Indiana,
Mississippi, Missouri, and Illinois, it vas stipu-
lated th=t, as condition precedent to their ad-
mission, such States saould ag-ee to nbstain
from taxing any land cold by tho United States
for tho period Of Eve years after sach galc: aad
that. as consideration therefor. per cea, Of
