THE HAN WITHOUT a LIFE.

Edward E. Hale took a fictitious character,

Tho Hon. Charles Hays, Of Alabamn, took real
man, William 4. LpAcomb, OF Marongo County
Alabama, slaughtered him in the columns Of tho
Hartford Courant and persuaded tue Republic
an party that tho man Ind roally died. Now
there eau bo few earthly pleasures comparable
to that Of reading your own obituary. You dis
cover for the first time that the world has con-
ceaod smiling love for you bouoath Q frowning
face. If tho obituary writer happens to bo
acquainted with you or your cousin, you read
with joy Of your uuoxceptionable character,
your remarkabla ability, aud your poaitlou
as tho hopo Of your country and perhaps Of tho
world at tho timo Of your. alas too carly deceaso.
Thoro must be cortaln grim joy, too, in having
fooled tho universe, or that portion Of 1t which
roatls tho American papers. People think you
are dead. You know you are alive. You havo
perpetratod q practical joke by proxy. It may
DO tint Haya 1uoant to reward Lipacomb {who
was ono Of tic dolcgutcs who nominated Haya
for Cougross) by giving him those pleasures, and
that ho therefore provided him with first-olaes

that Or. Seymour would bo confirmed, ovcn

mainly influenced, 1t is enid, by tho opposition
Of Bishop Cox, OF Western New York, and DR.,
Buell.. Tho wlloo issue was tint Of Nitualtstn.
Tho conservative Churchmon could scarcely
have prevailed agaiust tie High -Churolmou,
leaving tho Risualstio clement out OF tho ques-

Dr.. Seymour told the literal truth when ho said
that ne Ind neyor sought the honor, .aud 1t would
only have been fair to hear what he had to say

MR. JAMES r. JOY as 4 RAILWAY-MAN-
AGER

It ia rumn1ed that hir. J. T. Joy, President OF
the Michigan Central Rnilroad, is about to re-
sign his position. For homo time tho Michigan
Central bas not paid its regular dividends.
Lasoly it has paid no dividcnda at ALL This has,
naturally, been vary dtscouragIug to tho atock-
holders. Tho Michigan Contyal stock is not q
Wall street football. Itis M Investment stock,
owned, for tho noat pnrt, In Now England, by
parties Of small mcans,- -clergSmon, farmers
professional men, widows, retired merchants,
otc, These persons have felt tho stoppago Of
thoir dividends as no small Inconvenience.
Knowing little Of tho raal ca1lsos which havo
operated 10 cut them OF. they have. worry
likely, though worry wrongly, attributed thom

Joy, or vito is ut all acquainted with his really
extraordinary qualifications aB railway manager.
Ids character and abilities aro sufficient proof

ablor, more experienced, or moro conscientious
agent than ho. 1t ia not impossible. however,
TINT a1r. joys yiows Of what III btBt for the in-
forests Of tho stockholders may be different from
their own Oh tho san1e subject. He ia an expert.
They aro not exports. uo has largo railway
oxperiopoo+ They havo not. uo may have
thought it wiso for tho road and for itH ownors
to suffer temporary Inconvenience in o1dor to
ultimately reap greater benefit. They. living
In New England, away from tho Inc Of their
road, unacquuinted with tho motVos Of Ills nc
tion, could not understand his course. ueuco
dissatisfaction ou their part ndhence Mr. Joys
resignation, IL ho docs really resign.
Thu temporary stopping Of dividends to tho
stockholders Of the Michigan Central Railroad
was compelled by circumstances over which Mr..
Joy had no control. While tho Michigan South
oru, tho Fcrt Wayne, a11d other railroads wero
extending lher lines and doing MI in tlcir power
to control tho railway patronage Of a large OK
tout Of Territory, tho Michigan Central Ind no
option but et1or to yiold the leld to them or to
contest 1t With them BY aiding il tho conatruc-
tion Of feedcrs to tho main limo and also by
spending tho money which would have gone to
tho stockholders aa dividends On ateel rails and
other permanent improvements. A1r. joys

approved by all railway oxporta; III fact, by an
business mon. Had ho acted otherwise, he
would have made great mistake, aud joopar-
lizod tho insorests Of the dissatisfied stock
holders Themselves beyond repair.
How much Mr., Joy had tho interests Of thc
road at heart 10 demonstrated by tho determined
fight ho made against the Baltimore l. Ohio

Mr.. Van Ullrioh's fathers brother
who has lived many years in the
East Indies accumulated. n large
fortune, consisting Of $4,000, 900 in
gold, three large Steamships, and a
large amount of real estate. lie
died May 26, 1873, leaving IA will,
which was opened December 3, 1873.
The whole property Of the tes,atur
was left to the brother and his two
children, in equal parts; hence, Mr..
Van Ull'ich will tet one million in
money and one.third Of the other
He will leave in few days for
Germany, whore HIS father md sister
live, for the purpose of receiving his
fortune. Ilo will leave his family
in Cha:ta nooga, and return rs soon
as possible, when he expects to locate
permanently ard invest his money.
