We are indebted to the New York
Tribune for the following facts, which
we condense to accommodate our linz
tied space:
A double track is to be laid from
Chambers street, New York, to Forty
second street, distance of over three
miles, by the middle of October, next.
How high in the air this ironway is to
be is not stated; but theJobject is tohave
it out of the way of travel and business
under II. The contract for supplying
the iron needed is the largest ever
made in America, and is given to the
New England Company at Boston.
Five million dollars are placed in the
hands of trustees to bepaid out month
ly as the iron is supplied, not to exceed
ninety-five per cent of the amount
furnished. Building iron roads in the
air, and for miles under cities in terra
firma, is a new feature of civilized life
in this iron age.

A Yankee Trick.

\ kcntuckian and Il Yankee were
once riding through the woods, the
former on II superior animal. The lat
ter wanted to make II ''swap," but he
did not see how he could do it. At last
he thought of plan. His horse had
been taught to sit down like dog
whenever he was touched with the
spurs. Seeing wild turkey, the YAM
kce made his horse perform this trick,
and asserted that he was pointing
game, us was his custom. The Ken
tucliian rode in the direction indicated
10y the horses nose, and up rose II tur-
key. This settled the matter; the
trade was made, aud saddles and hors-
es were exchanged.
After II Time they came to deep
rapid stream, over which the black
horse carried his rider with ease, but
the kcntucliian, with the Yankees old
beast, found great difficulty in getting
over, and when he reached the middle
of the stream he was afraid the horse
would allow himself to be carried away,
and endcavored to spur him up to "
more vigorous action. Down sat the
old horse on his launches.
"LOoli hereW shouted the enraged
Kentuckian to the Yankee on the
other side of the stream, "NVhat does
all this mcan"'
81 want you to know, Stranger
cried the Yankee, preparing to ride
away, "that horse will pint fish jist as
well rs he will fowl"

SANTANA Ann n,G ritsr.

by our recent exchanges we see that
Governor Davis has ut last yielded to
the demands of the President, and has
ordered that the two Indian chiefs,
Santana and Big Tree, bc released from
the penltentiary and again he sent on
their high mission of raising hair, in
which defcncclcss women and limo
cent children will most likely M up
their demands for subjects. OF I'LL the
mcddling mcanncss which Grant
has imposed upon this State since his
party got hold of the reins of its gov
crnmcnt, this is the most unwarrnntcd
act he has pcrpetratcd. We would adj
wise Governor Davis, if he has any
manhood about him, to make coun-
ter demand on Grant and urge the re-
lease of Captain Jack, that fearless
warrior who sent the trusting spirit of
General Candy on its voyage TO the
happy hunting grounds. "Only this

OUR MEM 'DRf sSS.

We have the pleasure Of presenting

in an entire new dress, and in NJ
enlarged form. The demands upoI
our space for advertisements rendered
ii necessary to add another column t,
each page, and Of course the lengthen.
| ing of the columns, in order to give
the proper amount of news and Other
reading matter, and we trust that the
entcrprising merchants and others OF
our city who have thus far sustained us
in our venture, will continue and in
crease their favors, to enable us to meet
the additional expense that this en-
largement will entail upon us.
The new and handsome suit of type
on which we print our paper was made
for us by the Franklin Type and Ster-
cotype Foundry, Messrs. Allison, Smith
&c Johnson, 1GS Vine street, Cincinnati,
Ohio. We think it the handsomcst
and clearest suit that THE HERALD has
ever donned, and acknowledge that we
are proud of it. And in congratulating
ourselves and our readers upon the
event, we desire to return our thanks
to the makers of the type for the faith
fulness with which they have filed our
orders. Particularly does the writer
hereof acknowledge his gratefulness to
Mr.. Allison, the manager of the Frank
lin Foundry, for his uniform kindness
and liberality towards us in years past
and gone. Our business acquaintance
with him is not of recent date, but runs
back some fifteen years, and in all our
intercourse we have ever found him
attentive to the wants of his patrons,
generous in all his dealings, and prompt
