SENsIBLE.-We had a conversation
one day last week with a section boss
of the E. T., Va. and Georgia road,
who has been in the Company en-
ploy for 25 years. He had just heard
of the reduction in bis pay, but ex-
pressed a cordial acquiescence in the
action of the Superintendent. He
thought it far better, he said, and
more humane in the Company to act
thus, than to discharge their men
and leave them without even half
loaf upon which to support their fam
lilies. He had found the Superinten-
dent generous and liberal in flush
times, and he would go with him
through his present gloom to the sun
shine Just ahead. So said John Ellis.
While thousands of persons are
being discharged from employment
all over the country, and while great
suffering will be brought on many
people in every section of the coun-
try, Capt. Jacques intention is to do
good so far as he may be able. for
the largest possible number OF en-.
ployees of that company.

ANECDOTES OF REV. DR.. FULLER.- Sandy
Little's religious letter from White Sulphur
to Fredericksburg Netrs. DIR. Fuller is not
without humor. The darby who lights the
lamps and sweeps the ballroom (where re-
lirious services are held on Sunday Informed
Dr. Fuller that he was "seNton OF the
church on Sunday and sexton OF the BALI
room on weekdays" DR.. Fuller repeated
this, and said he had no doubt the sexton
was san excellent Sunday Christian" a
short fine after. the said sexton was found
TO have stolen 500 worth of ladies' shawI$,
iewelry, &C., and had absconded with his
pluuder. That was on weekday, when
his religion had taken holiday, and so he took
what did not belong to him.
On another occasion DR.. Fuller SAID that
God Almighty had shown his contempt Tor
riches by bestowing them often on the most
unworthy and undeSerring Of his creatures.
