HUMOROUS.
A Lengthy Storm.

At the dinner table the other eve

conversing on the subject of rain and
hail storms, their duration, and the Gu
rious phenomena sometimes witnessed
during such storms. af - =.

somewhat given to telling improbable
yarns, had just finished the recital of a
seemingly 'fshy' story, when every
body present exclaimed: Too thiny
Now, young Boobies, who thinks he
knows thing or two, thought he had
splendid rig on Brown, so he put in
his oar in this way: -
Hum! You were remarking, Mr..
Brown, that rain had been known to
fall uninterruptedly for two years, were
you not?'
You heard what I said, did you not,
Mr.. BOodle?' and Brown began to
grow red in the face.
Yes; but wish the company to dis
tinctly understand what you did say

years has been known in England

looked inquiringly at the company, as
much as to say, 'Pve got him cOrnered.'
OF course they all heard Mr.. Brown,

Now, then, Mr.. Brown, I think I've
got you! Anything SO improbable as
two years'rain wo'd hardly be believed
by Hottentot, and I'll bet you tick
cts to the theatre-best seats in the
house, mind-that you never heard of
such thing, and cannot prove it to the
satisfaction Of anybody present that the
story is anything more nor less than a
mere fabricationv

you that you are sadly mistaken. i

THE OHIO AND MISSISSIPPI.
Garrett, of the Baltimore and
ohio GObbies is at Last.

For long time the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad has been endeavOring to
obtain possession of the lines of rail-
way leading directly West to st. Louis
and Chicago, for the purpose of max
ing one continuous line from these cit
les 10 Baltimore and other seaboard
cities of the East. The parties con-
trailing this road, all of whom are
shrewd business men, have never
ceased watching for chances to secure
sufficient stock in the Ohio and Missis
sippi Railroad to place it under theil
management, and at the regular an
nual election for directors of the road
which took place In Cincinnati, Satur
day last, Mr.. Garrett, President of the
baltimore and Ohio Road, succeeded
in putting in board of directors, wht
will elect him President of the road
A special car left Cincinnati last nigh
for st. Louis, and will arrive here thi'
morning with a number Of magnate'
connected with the Baltimore ano
Ohio and other railroads.
The election of Mr.. Garrett as Presi
dent Of the Ohio and Mississippi ROAD
will, 1t is rumored, cause numerous
changes la officials and employees.
The management OF the Baltifnor.
and Ohio road are now building lint
from Pittsburg to Chicago, which viii
be several milas shorter than the For
Wane route now used by the Penn
sylvania Central. This struggle be
tween Garrett and Tom Scott for tht
control Of the most direct air lint
routes to 81. Louis and Chicago ha.
been going on for years, and was nevel
more spirited than just at the present
time.-St. Louis Times.
