company in this fight has
given victory 10 the B. & o. line. Mr..
Garrett says that the leading object Of
the B. B D. Company is to build up Balti-
more, and that the Saratoga combination
has given to the B. & .. road "the most
splendid success in all its history, in
enabling it to accomplish, with so much
greater rapidity, its grand object" To
punish the B. & o. the Pennsylvania COM
pany reduced it's rates from Baltimore to
the West to one-half the charges from
Philadelphia, New York and Boston.
This course has ''given to the opening
Of the Chicago extension Of the B. & o.
road an advertisement and gained for it
power, prestige and fame for unparal-
leled usefulness which years of its own
efforts could not have effected" By ITS
course it is building up Baltimore at the
expense Of Philadelphia and other East
ern cities. 1t has made its passenger
rates SO low from Baltimore that "large
numbers of business men from all parts
of the country are coming to Baltimore
to reap the advantage of the low charges
both for travel and transportation. Its
rates are utterly unremunerative, and
forebode grand catastrophe to itself If
kept up, while the b. & o. will continue
to declare dividends.
This is the second great conflict which
the B. g. o. Company has been compelled
to wage. Some years ago the Northern
lines tried to force the B. & o. to charge
the same passenger rates from Balti-
more to the West as they did from the
Eastern cities; but Mr.. Garrett insisted
on the right of the B. g. o. Company to
the natural advantage of 29S miles in the
distance from Baltimore and New York
to Cincinnati. The people also had the
right to this advantage. After loss of
millions to those allies by this conflict
they were compelled to give 1t up, and
the B. & o. has not been since troubled
on this score.
Mr.. Garrett insists that the whole re.
sponsibility for the tremendous losses
that the controversy is likely to occasion
rests en- the Northern lines, since, as he
claims, he has demanded nothing but in
dependence in the management OF his
own business, and to have insisted only
on such rates for freight and passage as
were just to the public and remunera-
tive to the company. "Let the battle 60
onw shouts Mr.. Garrett with the air Of
conqueror, and all the Directors re-
sponded amen!
The only interest we have in Mr.. Gar
retts fight arises from our hatred of all
combinations to defeat the natural law
of competition.

Riding q Shark.

Miss Adelaide Miller, the Hawaiian
songstress, was the heroine, short time
prior to her departure for San Francisco,
Of an adventure, perhaps, unlike any re-
corded in the widest production Of fancy
certainly nothing of equal romance has
been made public.
Miss Miller was on visit to some
friends at Waikiki, celebrated water
Ing place near Honolulu, and also noted
as the summer residences of the Ha.
waiian kings.
It is a great place for surf. bathing
almost every hour OF the day during the
season shoals of dusty figures being yisi.
BILE bathing among the breakers. The
safe, but outside of the reef are tabooed,
OH account of the sharks, which abound
In immense numbers. Woe to the daring
swimmer who ventures that far. Once
beyond the reef he may as well make his
will in favor Of the nearest tish, for his
fate is as certain as the depletion of a
friendless toper's exchequer by tile vor-
acious sharks of police court.
One day Miss Miller was enjoying a
surf bath with number of her cOmpan.
ions. Like most of the islanders, she ia
amphibious, as much at home in water
as upon land-swims, in TACT, like fish,
and has national reputation as diver
While so engaged one girl proposed they
should swim out to the reef. The sug.
gestion was not followed, fear of the
monsters there abounding being the ex.
cuse. This did not intimidate the gir
who made the proposition.
She resolved to 90 thither herself, and
finally bantered her companions into fol
lowing her example. AS they approached
the rect canoe passed them, the natives
| in it shouting, "Mano! manOW (shark
shark!) also urging them to hasten tt
the canoe for safety. But before the
terrified girls could move one way Of
the other, huge. black shark surged il
among them. and rising to the surface
lifted Miss Miller out OF the water. II
her terror she grasped one of the sharks
upper fins.
This proceeding, as we'll as the burdeI
upon its back, seemed to territy the mon
ster, for it. darted Oft at speed tina
would easily outstrip that OF the tastes
ship, keeping, however, upon the surface
of the water. 1t kept along at this pac,
for about sixty yards, still bearing th'
Hawaiian naiad upon its back, when
suddenly plunged downward, forcing it,
fair rider to let go her hold, and leavin
her unscathed after her perilous adveI
ture. She was soon picked up by tn
canoe, and, with her companions, re
turned in safety to Waikiki. This ad
venture raised Miss Miller highly in tn
estimation of her country people. by tn
bulk of whom the shark is held sacred
and still worshiped.

RELIGION AND DOCTRINE.

He stood before the Sanhedrim;
The sc0wling rabbis gazed at him,
He rocked not OF their praise or blames
There was no fear, there was no shame,
For one upon whose dazzled eyes
The whole world poured its vast surprise.
The open heayen was far too near, A.
His first days light too sweet and clear,
To let him waste his new gained ken
On the hate-clouded face of men.
But still they questioned, Who art thoup
What hast thou beenp What art thou nowp
Thou art not he who yesterday
Sat here and begged beside the way;
For he was blind.
And am he;
For was blind, but now see.
He told the story DER and DER;
1t was his full hearts only lore:
A prophet on the Sabbath-day
Had touched his sightless eyes with clay,
And made him see who had been blind.
Their words passed by him like the wind
Which raves and howls, but can not shock
The hundred d-fathomed-rooted rock.
Their threats and fury all went wide;
They could not touch his Hebrew pride.
Their sneers at Jesus and His band,
Nameless and homeless In the land,
Their boasts of Moses and his Lord,
All could not change him by one word.
know not what this man may be,
Sinner or saint; but as for me,
One thing know, that I am he
Who once was blind. and now see.
They were all doctors Of renown,
The great men OF a famous town,
With deep brOws, wrinkled, broad and wise,
Beneath their wide phylacteries:
The wisdom OF the East was theirs,
And honor crowned their silver hairs.
The man they jeered and laughed to scorn
Was unlearned, poor, and humbly born;
But he knew better far than they
What came to him that Sabbath-day;
And what the Christ had done for him
He knew, and not the Sanhedrim.

ment before the Board OF Directors, at
their regular monthly meeting, on the
18th lust, which has been sent out in a
neat pamphlet. The policy OF the Presi-
dent was unanimously approved by the
Board; as well it might be on the state
Of facts presented.
During the past month the receipts of
the company were $113,773 90 in excess
of the receipts for the corresponding
month Of 1874. The increase OF revenue
fsom passengers on the main stem of the
line is As per cent. At this rate OF "pul-
verization," the b. & o. better pray the
gods to continue the madness of its ene-
mics. The earnings of the Chicago d.
vision of the line are 80 per cent. above
tkQse Of the preceding month.
Mr.. Garrett replies very satisfactorily
10 the charges OF violating his agreement
with the northern companies. To the
charge that he violated his agreement
by carrying oil from Pittsburg for sOc per
barrel, thus cutting under the rate by the
Pennsylvania road to Philadelphia,
which was 81 28 per barrel, he replies
that the B. & o. road continued the
same rate as before, while the Pennsyl-
vania company had greatly increased
their rate, and as to oil there was
.na agreement. The result of this mod
GRAFTON had increased the export OF Pc
txoleum from Baltimore from $40, 100 gal
Iona from January 1st to March 10Th, in
1874, to 6,025. sos gallons for the same time
in 1876.
In waging this conflict with the B. &
o. Company the Pennsylvania Company
took in the Erie and the Central lines,
making combination Of s700, ,0OO, 900 Of
cspital against $l7,000.OOO. One would
suppose, ON the first glance, that the B..
30. could wage no contest at all against
such infinite odds; but Mr.. Garrett
shows that superiority of power insuch
sstruggle is with the smaller capital, be-
cause OF the diminished net income re-
quiYed to make dividends. The B. g. o.
Company has just declared the usual
seni-annual dividend of five per cent.
on the main stem.
In contrast with this 1t appears that
the Pennsylvania Company has ceased
70 pay interest on more than fifteen mill
ions OF dollars Of the Columbus, Chicago
sud Indiana railway, and that the Pan
handle Company has declared the income
of that road insufficient to pay the inter-
sat ON the mortgage bonds due April 1st,
and it is stated that the defaults Of in.
ssrest and principal by this company
have amounted to s1O,ooO,O 900. We take
sscse statements from Mr.. Garretvi
pamphlet.
II appears that every movement Of the
