At 3! o'clock p. NJ, Philadelphia time,
we halted at Cimarron Station, comprising
one house, water tank, three tents and an
emigrant wagon. A company of cavalry
were stationed here on the lookout for
Indians Here is the dangerous ground.
Five men were murdered by Indians about
fifteen miles west of this place week ago,
and a railroad bridge burned. The cavalry
can't find friend Lo, but don't look much
for him. Three or four soldiers accompany
the trains between Dodge and Granada and
the train hands are all armed with repeat
ing rifles.
The country has become horribly sterile
and desolate in appearance, and buffalo
trails lead from the upper plains in long
narrow paths to the river, which will never
more be traversed by this royal game of
the prairies. Antelopes are numerous and
may be seen from the car windows skim
ming away to the bluffs, frightened by the
approaching train, and two of our passen-
gers who had fine repeating rifles and
needle guns, amused themselves firing at
them from the train.
Sherlock is a toacn composed of three or
four "dugouts," which are cave houses, or

were met here of Colorado emigrants re-

household goods. They were dead broke,

Lakin is a dining station on the road, 430
miles west of the Missouri river, and 60
miles from Granada, the present termini
of the road. Lakin is composed Of
water tank, half dozen tents, two or
three houses, and dugout grocery store,
where pretty good assortment of goods
are displayed. Thirteen soldiers were
camping here, and company of cavalry
out on the hunt for Lo, who had crossed
the track east of this week ago. The
country here is good grazing region and
large herds of cattle are seen on the river
bottom. The country improves as we go
west. At Syracuse the railroad company
have an experimental farm, where they
have some forest trees planted and patch
Of sorghum. This place was named by a
New York colony who planted settlement
here and opened farms, but gave up the
attempt in despair and moved away
Farming without rain was a branch of
business they appeared to have not under

road has passed it; and thirteen miles
further Granada, in Colorado, on the west
side of the Arkansas river, is reached,

ATTENTION IN PRAYER.-A pious Jew,
while on journey, perceived that the
hour of evening prayer had arrived. He
stopped, and prayed to God. Lost in his
meditation, his heart lifted heavenwards,
he did not reply to nobleman who, pass
ing that way, stood still and saluted him.
Enraged at the Jews apparent rudeness,
the nobleman waited until he had finished
his prayers, and then angrily addressed
him: Wretch why didst thou not re-
turn my salutation? l have good mind
to punish thee for thine incivilty."-
Friend" the Hebrew replied, if thou
vert standing before thy king and spoke
to him, and one Of thy friends passed thee
and saluted thee, wouldst thou leave alb
ruptly the king and turn to thy friend? ?"
" Certainly not; would not dare do such
a thing" "Now," said the Hebrew,
"judge if have done right or wrong in
not returning thy salutation. l stood be-
fore the King Of kings, the Almighty
Creator of the world, Offering to Him my
prayer of duplication; how dared 1 leave
Him and turn to thee?" "Thou hast
done WE'LL" the nobleman said; ego thy
way in peace. Prom the Talnud.

BY AGRICOLA.

Nv song it shrll be of fairy,
Who came to our dwelling one night,
And close to our happy hearts nestled,
Affording precious delight.
His ewes had the hue of the heavens,
His smile with an angels might vie,
No marvel SO great his attractions;
He wandered perchauce from the sky
l have somewhere read of fairy,
Who had power to change at her will
All things into gold in moment.
So great was her magical skill:
Our sprite must belong to her household,
So changed has our dwelling become
Since this dautiest fairy and inmate
Became of our hearts and our home.
Would you know the name of the fairy
Who charms like this can impart!
Who has shed DER our home such n sunshine,

'Tis name more precious and dearer
Than any that language can tell;
For it speaks of the cherub that bears it,

HERALDIC GENEALOGY.

Lecture on Heraldry and GcnealOgy by
Rev. Beverley II. Betts-FurbishinK Up
Old Armorial Coats-Are We to Have =
Heralds' College I'm New York;
The Rev. Beverley R. Belts read an interesting
and exhaustive lecture last night before the New
York Genealogical and Biographical Society," In Mott
Memorial Hall, No. GA Madison avenue. The subject
chosen was that OF heraldry and genealogy. Not
wfthstanding the extreme inciemency of the
weather, number of ladies and gentlemen were
present who listened with evident satisfaction to
a searching and graphic survey OF the history OF
heraldry from the earliest periods to the present
times.
The lecturer went over an extensive field OF the
worlds history to show where the use of armor1al
bearings first originated, and proved their
usefulness In historical, legal, national and
political senses. The Crusaders were pointed
out as means Of first bringing ner.
Middle Ages. One writer CLAIMED that adam was
q gentleman, and bore arms" 1t was even
parents respectively could be distinguished. 1t is
certain that since the fall OF LuCter and his legion
there Is one order less Of heraidry in heaven:
dotes were touched upon by the reverend gentle
man: and his lucky hearers went away carrying
with them the idea that New YORK sadly wants a
heraids' college. IL Is necessary and right to col
lect the genealogical records Of our ancestors
Whose s l9rous seutche knew no bars nor bots,
And everything gnobie did disdain
Fine brave, iiustrious patriots and bold,
Who stouty did maintain our rights OF old.
The following are the officers OF the society, who
have lately been elected for the present year.

Meeting OF Bond and stock Holders OF

Submitted for Reorg anizatlon but Not
Accepted-A Com mittec To Investigate
It's Affairs, Past and Present.
In response to circular issued by the President
OF the Rockford, Rock Island and ST. Louis Railroad
Company, a large number OF its bond and stock
holders met ut tue ONCE OF the Union Trust Com
pany yesterday afternoon, to consider the condition
OF It's affairs and suggest plan Tor its reorganiza-
ton Mr.. Lowell HoIbrook was called to the chair,
and Mr.. II. p. Wells appointed secretary. Mr.. o. G.
Ashley submitted plan for reorganixing the
company, which he thought would be acceptable
to all. He ala not desire to reject upon the
present management, but thought new element
should be introduced, and II the road had the
proper connections and afflliations 1t would in
few years earn $4,000 a mile, and, estimating
sixty per cent for expenses. it would pay seven
per cent upon the whole sum invested. Mr.. Ash
ley's plan that the road should be sold and
bought IN by purchasing committee, which would
issue preferred stock to the bonaholders and one
share OF ccmmou stock to every present holder Of
two shares OF the latter. or in that proportion.
When tue earnings or the road paid seven per cent
in gold On the preferred STOCK then the common
stockhoder would come In Tor his share OF the
prOhts, II there were any.
The plan dia not seem to have many friends,
although II was advocated by Messrs. Ashley aud
Noodle IN long speeches. The latter. in answer TO
question, said the floating de0t OF the road was
about $3.50 900, its gross earnings il00 600, and
that Its whole length was $40 miles.
Mr.. Ashley admitted that the plan presented was
his own.
Charles W. Hassier, OF New York, representing
$4,000 IN bonds, advised the meeting that IN MS
opinion they were not prepared TO ADOPT any plan
at present. He thought there was negro In the
Ience,r and desired to know Just how ne could hnd
him. The b0udh0iders ieei kindly to the road bus
they want 70 ascertain something positive regard
ing It's condition..
Mr.. J. T.. Abbott, OF New York, said that the
management owned One-half OF the common stock.
Mr.. Shepherd, OF Chicago, speaking as lawyer,
said the document presented as u plan OF reOr-
gauization was very deficient In many respects,
and would be a failure under the present laws Of

railroads, having been made In the interests or
