THE New RAILRoAD.-Some further par
ticularsn isl regard to tho new combination
which has takenzllold Of the g Natiohal Rail
ways are given by the Trenton Gazette. That
paper says that the gentlemen who are active
i'll the matter are citizens of Philadelphia,
and most of them are interested in the North
Pennsylvania Railroads Among, these are
Franklin A. Comfy, President Of the North
Pennsylvania Railroad, J. Gillngham Fell,
Edward c. Knight, Henry Lewis, Jacob Reigle
and Mr.. Lewis II. Taylor Of High Bridge,
Nj. The New Jersey part of the National
Railroad is to be run under the title Of the
Delaware River and Bound Brook Railroad,
which runs from Philadelphia to Bound
Brook, crossing the river either at Browns
burg, Pennsylvania, or at Keefer's at Yardley-
vile. If the road should cross at Brownsburg
it wiHstrike the National line hear Hopewell,
but the probabilities are, if a satisfactory ar
rangement can be made with the property
holders along the line, it will cross the river at
Keeler's at Yardleyvilfe. Gentfenen are noSs
engaged in trying to effect arrangemeffts With
property ownerssalong the line 10 some cases
they take up the stock THAT was paid for the
fand by the National Railroad and pay the
money. This looks like business, but If this
arrangement fails, they will probably be
compelled to cross at Brownsburg. If it cross
es at the former place, the new arrangement
contemplates running = hrapsh to- Trepton.--
From our knowledge Of the gentlemen with
whom we have conversed this project assumes
more of business character than anything
we have seen.
The Newtown Enterprisc says that com
pany of engineers under the charge OF Willet

Gently in surveying the approaches to the

men Of New Hope at present. Quite num-
Der have been launched lately mostly race
boats, and the builders and owners Of these
race-boats may be seen practicing and rowing
for pleasure almost every evening of these
long summer days. OnSaturday Of last week,
as soihe of the owners of the boats were down
at lie rivers edge where their boats were sta
toned, man who was present stated that he
had had considerable experience III boatsrow-
ing, in short was an "expert" in handling
the oar, and for their benefit lie would show
them few bold manoeuvres In the hahdling
of the same. The young men, dcsirous of
learning all that they possibly could about
this science, consented to admit him to per-
form fof their edifcation. He took his seat
in the boat, but not being perfectly self-pos-
sessed and forgetting the law OF gravitation,
tilted ont and WIS sngulfed by the "bil-

Sam Houston Reprimanded.

The solemn farce of reprimanding q
man at the bar of the House as punish
mept for breach of privileges of the body
was performed in the case of Sam Hous-
ton, Andrew Stevenson being the Speaker
Houston had been charged by Stanberry
a member from Ohio, with defrauding the
Government in some transaction with an
Indian tribe on the Tennessee border.
An investigation was requested, but Hous-
ton could get no satisfaction, and not wllin 9
to rest under the imputation. he inflicted
a severe chastisement with cane in the
precincts of the Capitol, Houston was
arrested by the geant-at-arms. and there
was long trial, resulting in the resolu-
ton that the offender should be reprimand-
ed by the Speaker 1t was curious
spectacle. Houston was at that time a
striking specimen of manly beauty. He
was in the prime of life. with more per-
sonal advantage than almost any man of
his time. He stood considerably above
six feet. with small hands and feet, and
every way finely proportional. He was
dressed in faultless style when the sergeant
alarms led him to the bar of the House.
He was perfectly self possessed, easy and
graceful in manner, without swagger or
sclf-assertion, with the bearing Of man
who came there to pay his respects to the
House, especially to its presiding officer.
The galleries were crowded, and the men,
bers, with the spectators, looked curiously
on. Speaker Stevenson was the only
embarrassed person in the hall. He was
a large, 6ne-looking man of commanding
presence; but he was fdgity and uncom-
Portable, looking as if he expected Houston
to read him a lecture. In hesitatng
perturbed manner he told Houston that
the House had ordered him to be repri.
manded by its presiding officer, and he,
the Speaker, begged him to consider him
self 'reprimanded Houston bowed in
graceful, digni6ed, and lordly way, a
broad grin spread over the House, and
there the matter ended The Democrats
had clear majority in Congress, and
Houston belonged to that party but the
breach of privilege was too fragrant to be
overlooked. Still the dignity of the body
was not vindicated by the Speakers repri-
mand.-AN OLp STAeER, in Harper's
Magazine for June.

Danbury at the Court of st. James.

1t is, | believe, 30 longer secret that
the purpose of Mr.. Bailey's visit to Eu-
rope is to restore harmony among the mem
bers of the British royal family. The
trouble arises, it appears, from the fact
that the Princess of Wales and the Ouch
ess of Edinburgh each claims precedence
OF the other, and when one enters the din
ing-room before the other, or sits nearer
to the head of the table, the defeated be-
ing refuses to eat aud goes up stairs aud
lets down her back hair and screams
Ihlre is, therefore, not oaly grievous an-
noyance to the neighbors, who don't like
such bowling, but grave danger that one
OF the two lovely creatures will starve to
death. Victoria has tried to induce them
to behave, but in vain, and now Mr.. Bal
ley has gone over to see what can be done
about it. Immediately upon his arrival
in England he will go to Windsor Castle.
ring the front door-bell, and tell the hired
girl to ask the girls down into the parlor.
His general idea will be then to suggest
that the two shall be shot up through the
floor of the dning-room at the same mo-
ment, by means of a couple of stage traps.
and then be seated at circular table. If
this is not accepted he will then suggest
that they shall take turns about, or draw
lots, or have their meals sent to their
rooms. If they prove intractable, his no.
tlon is that he will write to the Gar ex.
planning the matter to him, and insisting
upon his compelling his daughter to be-
have, and he will then advise Disraeli to
cut off the allowance Of the girls until they
reform. Then he will bid them good-by,
and take his umbrella from the rack in the
entry and 60 home to dinner unless the
folks at the castle ask him to stay. 1t is
a high and holy mission, worthy Of such
a philanthropist, and when he returns with
a glow in his heart and yictoria's annual
subscription to the Ne~s tied up in the
corner of his pocket handkerchief he may
very justly feel that he has not lived in
vain .-4Ktr ldeler, IN tie Danbury Ncus.
