Who Introduced Railroads i'm America

The Springfield Republican publishes
the following letter from l.. Q. G. Elmer,
of Bridgeton, n. j. Reading the very
interesting account of the Hoosac tun-
mel in your paper of Nov. 2S, find
new Illustration of the difficulty of OBJ
tanning correct historical data. The
writer states that in 1926 DIR. Phelps
presented the first proposition ever made
for railroad before any Legislative body
in the United States. This is mis-
take. About 1911 Col. John Stevens,
of Hoboken, n. j., presented memori-
al to the Legislature to authorize rail-
road In New Jersey, and in February,
1916, law was passed incorporating
The New Jersey Railroad Company
authorizing road from Trenton to New
Brunswick. This road was not built.
In 1920, saw, at Hoboken, Col. Ste
vens' short railroad, laid as an expert
ment. Locomotive steam-engines had
not been perfected, and the best en-
gineers did not suppose there would be
sufficient traction in plain wheels to
draw heavy weight. The railway put
up by Stevens was provided with a
middle rail having teeth, for driving
rack. This gentleman was father of the
Messrs. Stevens who built the first rail-
road in New Jersey by virtue OF the act
of 1882. He entered into competition
with Fulton to run the first steamboat
on the waters of the Hudson, and thus
obtain the monopoly granted by the law
of New York, but falling little behind
In time, he sent his boat round to the
Delaware, and was carried by her in
1872. The family maintained line of
boats on the Delaware, individually or
by the company, until their death"

A CHRISTMAS PARTY.

A friend of ours in Berkshire invited
my sister and myself to share her Christ
mas festivities. We gladly accepted ;
as our family could not all meet that
year, we had concluded to give up our
usual tree. We arrived at Mrs. Nor
toms .hospitable home Christmas Eve
Her house was like an English country
house. She lived with hertwo daughters,
Mary and little Amy. They were sell
dom. without company, ano now they
had gathered a most charming circle of
people TO spend the holidays with them
AT the depot, Mary's cousin, DASH
ing young officer, met is, and drove d.
rectly up the lawn to the house. Rows
of colored lanterns werehung on each
side of the way, making the snowy
covering of the lawn more brilliant even
than the millions Of stars that were Civ
ing us their light from above. We re-
ceived hearty welcome when we ar
rived. Even Carlo seemed to under
stand it was time to be merry, and
dashed about in the snow as if he were
mad. We went directly to our cosy
little room, where we found nice, blaz-
ing fire on the hearth, shedding its
cheerful light over the fresh evergreens
that decorated the valls-emblems of
that never-faiiing love which grows
brighter when the SHOWS of ife's winter
whiten our heads and chill the ardor of
youth F7
We had no regular tea-table but a
nice little tray was sent to our room
with smoking hot coffee and sand
witches. The large drawing room was
locked, and every one was busy dress
ing. We finished our toilet as quickly
as possible, and when :Mary's gentle tap
was heard at the door were quite ready
to accompany her to the sitting-room,
where we found assembled some charm
ing people.
Fast the guests arrived merry greet
ings and shouts of laughter resounded
through the house. As raised the cur
tain and gazed from the window, 1, too,
shouted with delight; it looked like
fairy-land. The dark evergreens, load
ed with snow and icicles, seemed COW
cred with sparkling diamonds and pre-
cious stones of all hues the colored
lanterns cast brilliant, varied light; il
was as if rainbow had been scattered
over them. i forgot everything for O
time and stood entranced, until tie

Morton walked forward and took Judge
Dowley by the arm all followed In
couples. Black Sam threw open the
doors of the mysterious room with q
flourish. At first, the gorgeous tree

Only a baby's gravel
Some foot or two at the most
OF grassy sod; yet think that God
Knows what that little grave cost.
Only baby's grave,
Strange. how we moan and FIRE.
For little face that was he-e such q space
o, more strange could we forget.
Only baby's gravel
Did we measure grief BY this,
Few tears were shed on our baby dead;
/ know how they fell on this.
Only babyis grave,
VIII the little life be much
Too small gem for His diadem,
Whose kingdom Is made Of such?
Only baby's grave.
Yet often we come and sit
BY the little stone, and thank God to own
We are nearer heaven for it.

1t was lovely winters day. Mrs.
Morton invited us to go to church, as
she had two large sleighs and we were
soon dressed and dashing along through
the snow, with our minds at peace with
all the world, and rightly tuned to enjoy
the exercises of the day. Even Mary's
gay cousin was thoughtful and atten-

When we returned home, Amy pro-
posed frolic in the snow ; so in we
rushed to change our garments for
hoods, cloaks, mittens and india-rubber
boots. The snow-balls flew fast and
thick. We attacked Uncle John Morton
and the dashing officer, and completely
covered them with snow. Finally we
lost breath and they conquered, and
rolled us In the snow. OFF went hoods,
and down came long masses of hair !;

fed with their victory, they left us, to

AT the time of going to press, we
are without sufficient return to give any
thing definite as to the result of the
election in the state yesterday. Stuff
Gent news has been received, however,
to make it almost certain that the Re-
publicans have carried the Legislature,
insuring them United States Senator
In place of Hon. Matt Fl. Carpenter,
whose term expires the 4th Of next
March. The election of three Repub-
hean Assemblymen in Milwaukee is
among the most notable gains made by
the Republicans. In the Milwaukee
Congressional District W. P. Lynde,
Reform nominee, is elected over Har-
rason Ludington, Independent, by bout
400 majority. Burchard, Reform, is
elected in the 18th district. Williams
Rusk, McDill and Magoon, Republican
congressman, are certainly elected
with the chances In favor Of the cleo
ton of Kimball over Bouck.
In triangular fight on Governor in
Massachusetts, the report is that the
democrats have carried that state
Ben. Butler for congress is on the list
of the defeated. New York has un-
doubtedly gone Democratic.

The lull in the Beecher- Tiiton scan
dial continues. People have talked
themselves out about the matter both
here and in Brooklyn. This quiet,
however is doubtless simply the pre-
Jude to the coming storms. By the
middle of November. when the Grim.
inal suits begin, our papers will again
be filled with disgusting details Of the
unhappy affair. and the scandal will be
revived in all it's hideops enormity, be-
coming again for days the one topic of
conversation. Mr.. Moulton's friends
manifest considerable soicitude lest the
Edna Dean Proctor libel suit may 90
heavily against him. Indeed one of
them expressed the opinion a few days
since that Frank Moulton would have
to 60 to prison for year at least.
The opinion continued to gain ground
that Beecher will win all the suits with
Tilton and Moulton. The letter from
Mrs. Putnam, Mrs. Tilton's mother
friend, written from Marietta, O., and
published in the Cincinnati Gazette of
October rs, detailing the circumstances
under which that Ohio letter was writ
ten by Mrs. Tilton to her husband, and
asserting that the word "sin" used did
not refer to adultery, has attracted no
attention whatever here. In truth. I
think it has not been republished by
any of the New York or Brooklyn pa
pers. This has occasioned no little
surprise among the friends of Mr.. Bee
cher and Mrs. Tilton, inasmuch as it
was supposed that this explanatory
communication would attract much at
tention and produce decidedly coun
teractlng impression to that occasioned
by the publication of the original letter.
Mrs. Putnam will undoubtedly be call
ed upon to testify at the forthcoming
trials as to what she knew concerning
Theodore Tilton's private life. An
other lady occupying very prominent
position in the literary world will also
be summoned as witness against Mr..
Tilton.

Chinese Students.

There are in Hartford, Conn, sixty
Chinese students attending school,
which number is to be increased by
thirty-nine, who are On the way at the
present time from San Francisco,
where they recently landed. These
pupils are sent to be educated in this
country by the Chinese Government,
and are selected with care by competi-
tive examinations from the schools of
Shanghai. The system Of thoroughly
educating number Of the youths OF
that country in foreign institutions,
must bear the profitable fruits of civil
ization and intellectual progress within
a. few years in China. The wish to
to have the young men educated in it.
self speaks well for the progress Of the
Chinese Government, which bears the
expense Of their school life.
