THE RAILROAD WAR.
The war between Colonel Tom Scott
and John w. Garrett, on their respect
i've lines Of railroad, seems to be at an
end, for although the rates OF fare over
the Baltimore railroad have again been
reduced, the old rates have been re-
established and will be msintaiued on
the Pennsylvania road. This will, of
course, soon have the effect of restoring
the condition Of affairs existing before
the war.
A WITTY REPLY.
Apropos OF the Tyndall-Darwin theO-
ries comes in one OF General Schenck's
latest stories that he told to the wife Of
q cabinet officer, who assured him that
"England made America all that she
is" "Pardou, madam" said the gen.
erai; "you remind me of an answer Of
the Ohio lad in his teens, who, attend
ing Sunday-schoOl for the first time,
was asked by his teacher, 'WhG made
you?' Made me? Yes why, God
made me about so long (holdirg his
hands about ten inches apart, but /

COLORADO.
Colorado has lO4 500 squsre-miles Of
territory, and had a population OF IS, S64
in 1870. Congress has just admitted
the Territory as State. At the same
time tie Territory OF New Mexico
knocked for admittance, which has l2l,-
POI squsre-miles Of territory, and had a
population of Ill 1903 in 1870. Was New
Mexico kept out in the cold for the ben
eft of csrpetbaggers that had been laid
on the shelf in Arkansas? Also, will
somebody tell us what has become of
Mr.. Marsh Giddings, whose term as
governor does net expire until March,
1877?
THE RAINS IN EAST TENNESSEE.
The Greenville Latellige1cer says: The
recent rainfall and high waters have not
been nearly approached by anything OF
the kind since 1867. The HOstOn, Wau-
tauga, French Broad and Nolachucky
rivers have all been out of their banks
and playing sad hav cwith the farmers,
sweeping away fences, barns, mills
houses etc, and damaging other mills
and dwellings to such an extent as to
make it very expensive to refit, which
is extremely hard upon farmers at this
season of the year. The waters of Lick
creek have been unusually high, and
have done great deal Of damage. The
Tennessee river has been far out of it's
banks and doing immense damage ALI
along its course, and especially at the
plucky little city of Chattanooga,
which has been afflicted with both fire
and water, and sill seems TO prosper
and laugh at the elements seeking to
destroy it.
LONGsTREET.
Nearly every newspaper in the land
has printed paragraph to the effect
that General LOGgstreet has taken up
his residence in Georgia, and is there
engaged in sheep-Taising. This is true,
with one exception; General LonEstreet
lives in New Orleans, has no residence
in Georgia, doesn't own sheep, ,and has
no idea of doing 50.
CHAMBERLAIN's OPPOSITION.
The New York Times thinks Cover
nor Chamberlain meets with consider
able opposition in his efforts TO give
South Carolina good government. The
cOrruDtionists have now openly declared
war against him, and have organized
ring to oppose the funding of the State
debt, and to impeach State Treasurer
COrdozO for "multifOTm misconduct"

ishment, in being compelled to hear

ical seminary.
PERSONAL.
Mrs. Henry M. Field, wife OF the
editor of the New York Evangelist,

aoDLovE ORTIZ.
An exchange says: "Speaking of
GodlOVe Orth, the New York World
thinks him of German extraction, be-
cause 'GOdlOve' is simply translation
of the honest old German name Of
'Gottlieb.' But the English Translation
of 'Gottlieb,' as the erudite World should
know, is Theophilus, as any prOp8deutic
Greek grammar could tell any hyper
phemic or necrophagOus polypragmOn."
In behalf OF the APPEAL, we would say
that the above pythonistic OF psychOlog-
ical thaumatology should have lived in
the days of enthusiastic syncretism; for
his sabbalian subject, as it seems, indi-
Gates him to be an heautOntimeroume-
nos, whose pathological circuities are as in-
comprehensible as are indescribable the
motions If a MISREPRESENTATION.
