.sWhy, as to that, said the engineer,
"Ghosts amt things we are apt 10 fear,
Spirits don't fool with levers much,
And throttIe-valves don't take to such;
And as for jim Z
What happened to him
Was one-half fact and tOther half ,shim!
Running one night on the line, he paw
A house-as plain as the moral law
Just by the moonlit bank, and thence
Came drunken man with no moresense
Than to drop on the rail,
Flat as q fail,
As Jim drove by with the midnight mail.
Down went the patents. Steam reversed. Too
I.ateI for there came 'thud.' Jim cursed,
AS his fireman, there in the cab with him,
Kinder stared in the face of Jim,
And says, what now?'
SAYS Jim, what now!
-Fye INST run over a rlan-that's howl
The fireman stared at Jim. They ran
Back, but they never found house nor man
Nary shadow within mile.
Jim turned pale, but he tried 10 smile
Then on he tore
Ten mile or more,
In quicker time than he'd made afore.
Would you believe it! the very next night
Jjp rose the house in the moonlight white;
Out comes the chap and drops as before,
Down goes the brakes, and the rest encore
And so in fact,
Each night that act
Occurred. till folks swore jim was cracked.
Humph! Let me see; it's a year now, most,
met Jim, East, and says, 'How's your ghost9'
'Gone, says jim; and more, it's plain
That ghost don't trouble me again;
thought I shook
That ghost when took
A place on an Eastern line-but look:
What should meet the first trip out,
But that very house we talked about,
And that self-same man! Well says, !, q CUES
It's time to stop this yer foolishness,'
SO crammed on steam,
When there came scream
From my freman-and it broke my dream
you've killed somebody Says I, Not much;
I've been thar often and thar amt no such,
And now III prove it, Back we ran,
And-darn my skinl-but thar tras a man
On the rail, dead,
Smashed in the head
Now call that meanness!" That's all jim said.

TO BUSINESS MEN.

The business Of this country is hcnceforth,
until the paper money bubble bursts, to be
| carried on without o standard of value! The
| vote i'm the House Of Representatives yester-
day. on the motion of Mr. Dawes to restore
the legal tender circulation TO it5 legal amount
| of 1856. 900 900, demonstrates that Congress Is
determined TO legislate in favor of the preiu-
dices of tho ignorant and the dishonest.
1t is folly to expect the Senate to
make any eilectual resistance against
the vote of 20 to III by which imitation Is
decreed Brute force and british ignorance
are to legislate for this country until Dame
Experience with her scOurges teaches even the
most besotted that national dishonor cannot
co-exist with national prosperity. This VIII
certainly DO the work of years and perhaps OF
generations.
To show that the Senate cannot resist the
imitation madness, we will insert here list
of tho llustriOus converts which cheap
"money" has made within two months. Jam
uary 10Th, Mr.. Wilson of Indiana moved some
resolutions. setting forth that the true imam
ca policy lies In increasing the circulating
medium" to revive business, relieve the people
from additional taxation, &C., and instructing
House to report measure of imitation with
out delay. There were then found ninety
eight gentlemen enlightened enough to vote
against this. Yesterday bit seventy were
left! The following named twentyfour Con-
gressmen are entitled to the honor or dis
grace of voting against initiation on the 1oth
of January and for it on the 23l of March:
Messrs Hathorn. Duell, aud Plat OF NewYork Scud-
der and Ward OF NewJersey; Myers Smith, and speer
of Pennsylvania Rainey and Wallace OF South Carolina
Caldwell of Alabama; Darra of louisiana Gid'inSs o
Texas; Miliken OF Kentucky Maynard OF Tennessee
Banning Foster, and Smith OF ONO; Burchard and
Eden OF Illinois Williams OF Michigan ; and Cotton,
Kassou, and McDIll OF Iowa.
Gentlemen who are to take part in the meet
ing at the Cooper Institute tonight, there Is
no man living who can make but the widest
guess at what the legal-tender dollar Will be
worth three years hence

Of cohesion, OF those qualities of character
upon which organization depends, has been
only too evident in the Cuban ranks from the
beginning. In New-York and in Bayamo there
was always about as much energy devoted to
quarreing among the patriots as to carrying
on the war against the Spaniards. To
Cespedes the cause owed more than to any
other man, yet his dismissal from command
excited no Indignation and his death no
general regret The curse of discord" which
a mad King of Hungary once called down on
his rebellious subjects seems to have lighted

The Riverside Park bill has been referred
back to the Senate Committee on Cities As
the session of the Legislature draws near its
close, this disposal of the bill may be con-
sidered an effectual damper for the present.
Nevertheless, such things as extraordinary and
unexpected revivals have happened in similar
cases. 1t Is barely possible that the measure
may be heard of again in a moment when the
Legislature is unprepared for discussion.

1t is the most exciting and dramatic of his works,

Judge by the trouble which the gentlemen to whom
is intrusted the Peabody Fund seem to have in APP

enough it is sad and if it continues to proceed at
this rate generation which Mr. Peabody desired
to benefit Will have passed beyond its reach.

whom this was leveled but does Gen. Duter
pretend to DO q principled person .

We trust that tho meeting in the Cooper
Institute this evening may be OF such size
and character as to give fair and full utter
ance to the demand of New-York for prompt
action by Congress on tho finances. and
the protest of New-York against any
further initiation under any pretext what
ever. The situation at Washington IS
at this moment so critical that the voice OF
New-York would never be heard with more
effect. The Committee have some important
letters from Charles Francis Adams and other
eminent gentlemen, while Mr.. A. A. Low ana
other local speakers of equal financial author
ity will make addresses.

! Now that the Vanderbilt and Third Avenue
Railroad rapid transit bills are printed, the
wonder at their tender treatment in Com
mittee increases. II is found that the COM
panics obtain virtual possession of the avenues
and streets through which they construct their
lines. They already control street railroads
through these thoroughfarcs; it is proposed
to give them the rest of the right of way.
However it is not so much the character of
the bills that now challenges criticism as the
manner in which the Committee espoused them
right or wrong. We know enough of these
schemes to be assured that they need the
closest scrutiny Yet the Committees do not
seem to have made any investigation beyond
asccrtaining who were responsible for them.
Is it any wonder that candid men suspect dis
honesty behind such precipitate actionf
