A WONDERFUL DREAMER.

A DREAMER Of wonderful capacity
has turned up in Atlanta, by the
name of IIennery Wingless Grady.
The other night he overloaded his
stomach with boiled eggs and laid
down to pleasant dreams, and he
dreamed an egg-straordinary story
of an "egg farm" his imagination
located in three miles of Marietta,
owned by Belgian, named Daubere
and his daughter Laurie. He there
and then Matched a story of such
chican. cry that it would be hard to
puliet to pieces, but hem eforthly let
him be known as the egg-straOrdina>
ry dreamer, Henne'y Grady. But
from the handful of feathers his
wife snatched from his head, we are
afraid he won't go to sleep in a
chicken-coop any more.

TrE NORTHERN PACIFIC RoAD.-|There
are many persons within the bounds
the circulation Of the INTELLIdENCER In
West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio
who are pecuniarily interested in tho
Northern Pacific road. We mean those
who bought It's bonds before the panic of
1873 and who still own them. Such per-
sons will read with interest the following
dispatch from Philadelphia.
Mr.J. Cooke, who still takes Il warm
interest in the affairs Of the Northern Pa.
Citic Railroad, says that there will be no
effort on the part Of that Company 10 Sc
cure aid from Congress by joining hands
with Col. Thomas Scotts Texas Pacific
project. II appears that Col. Scott Ia
confident Of his ability to push his scheme
through on its own merits, and that the
North Pacific managers, while not oppoS-
ing II, are not seeking IN alliance. Mr..
Cooke Ia Just as confident as ever OF the
future success Of the railroad which
swallowed up his great fortune and
brought him to bankruptcy. lie says II
now occupies the prOudest position OF any
road in the country, being entirely free
from debt, It's bonds having all been con.
ycrted into preferred stock. Both ends
Of the road earn monthly surplus
over running expenses which amodntsto
about 100000.
The value OF the Company's land grant,
Mr.. Cooke says, Ia far greater than even
the directors themselves imagine. The
completion Of the last 200 miles Of track
in Dakota gave the Company 100000
acres more thanlare contained inLhe whole
State Of Massachusetts,. The reservation
Of the alternate sections belonging to the
Government for actual settlers, IN tracts
Of 50 acres, or 100 to soldiers, enables he
Company to virtually offer the settler who
buys farm OF II another farm adjoining
a. a free gift. The settler who buys 80
acre' from the Company has only to build
his house on tho adjoining 80 acres to
own the whole 100. II he was n soldier
he gets 800 acres by the same process.
Mr. Cooke argues that the strict proyis.
ion, Of lay to prevent speculaLorS getting
possession Of any land within the limit Of
the grant will eventually result in thick.
ly populating the region through which
the Northern Pacific runs, and, as q con.
sequence, will produce a large local busi.
ncs, for the road. The friends OF Mr..
Cooke will be glad to learn that he Is In
excellent health and spirits.
