The Commercial Advertiser sage: Mr.,
Drew and his spacuistions were for near
" twenty years identified with the for
tunes, good and i'll, of the Erie road.
But the two interests have nothing to do
with each other to-day. Mr.. Drew had
nothing to do with the fall of Erie into
the receivershipo OF 1875, and the better
fortune of Erie to day has nothing 10 DO
with the fall Of Mr.. Drew in 1876. The
latter speculations Of Mr.. Drew were
singular and unfOTtunste-singUl6r IN
that he went into concerns with the orr
gin and history of which he was COM
pRrativeIy ignorant, and disastrous be-
cause of this ignorance, and OF the
wretched advice Of some OF his friends.
The Wabash stock, 10 which be operated
very heavily, is complete wreck. The
Canton land company, OF Baltimore, an
old drab of Wall street OF forty years
history, in all which it never paid div
idend except in promises, fell on his
hands from par to forty per cent, and
the stock Of the Quicksilver mining
company, OF California, also heavily
deprecated on his hands, though fail
property at price. It is rumored tina;
he had his Losses also as a bull in gold 8
year or SO sgo, but to his efsdit it may
be said that during the war he was
consistent friend Of the public credit.
The largest fortune We ever heard Mr.
Drew credited with was fourteen mil
lion dollars; the smallest, before the
tide turned in his affairs, in 1873, was
five or six millions. He donated large
ly to the Methodist church, when he
could afford to do SO, and he mat bis
losses in the street bravely, while bis
available means enabled him to keep vi
his credit.

Young Folks.
Concluded.

| At last there came to court the most
beautiful princess that ever was seen and
| Walter fell in love with her, and entertain
ed her in a magnificent manner every day,
till one day, just as they were standing up
to dance before the whole court, there came
in an old man, very ragged and dirty, with
n great peddler's pack on his back, at whom
Walter had not looked twice before he saw
that it was the old gray goblin. Instantly
he remembered his promise to receive him
as father, and began to be very much
ashamed at the notion of presenting such
an old begger as his father to the king and
| all his splendid court, but Walters mother
had taught him never to break his word,
and always to do what he thought was right
no matter how disagreeable. Accordingly
he dropped the princess beautiful white
hand, and going up to the dusty, dirty old
goblin, kissed and embraced him, brought
him golden chair to sit on, and taking
the pack from his back, carried it away him
self, and laid it in corner.
The courtiers stared, and nudged each 9TH
| er.
"Who is this wretched old beggar, Prince
Walter?" asked the beautiful princess
tossing her head scornfully.
| "You must come with me now" said the
goblin to Walter, taking no notice of what
was said around him. II have need of
you"
"But my father" said Walter 81 was
just about to dance with this princess, and
she will be offended to be left standing on
the floor. Let me first dance with her, and
then will go with you"
"No," said the goblin, "you are bound by
your promise to do the first thing that l
should ask of you. Go and excuse your
self to the lady and come with me'
Then Walter went up to the princess, and
looking sorrowfully at her said, low "Dear
madam, do not be angry with me. / have
promised to go with this old man, but I
will return as soon as possible"
"But do you imagine" returned the prin-
cess, angrily, "that will see beggar pre-
ferred to me? If you go with that man
never speak to me again."
"Alas p' said Walter, 81 must go, for I
have promised"
"No,' said the princess, "you shall not
go, unless you wish never to see me again.
will not stay here an instant longer if you
go with that man."
"Come," cried the goblin. "I have wait
ed long enough"
Walter. who never dreamed of breaking
his word, turned about and left the princess
standing on the floor; but at that she set up
a dreadful cry, and spreading out two great
wings, sailed out of the window and away
over the plains towards the sea, tapping her
wings, and screaming dismally as she
went.
Then said the goblin "My son, that was
the wicked enchantress who so nearly de-
stroyed the king, and who now intended to
destroy you in a like manner Had you
listened to her instead of remembering your
promise, she would instantly have devoured
you but now you are safe, as the time of
her power is past"
With that the goblin tucked himself up in
ball and rolled out of the door so fast that
nobody could follow him but Walter came
to the throne after the kings death, and
was long known as good King Walter.

The official got along very well with most
of his prisoners, but few days ago a rough
fellow was placed in his charge for larceny
He refused to obey the rules of the printed
card, and was chewing tobacco and shutting
pack of cards. The Sheriff stripped him
of the forbidden things, called him into his
Office, and asked:
''Have you concluded to obey those
rules ?"
81 never pray and can't sing" was the
reply.
'If a man doesn't want TO pray ! can't
force him to, suppose; but you've either
got to sing hymn or you won't get mouth
ful to eat for the next week !"
81 won't sing for live man." was the de-
termined reply.
He was locked in a cell, and hs held out
for two days. At the end of the time he
broke down and came to the point as fol-

Legends.

OLD EBERsTEIN.-After the Emperor
Otho I. had conquered Strasbourg he be-
seiged the Castle of Eberstein which the
counts of that name held against him. But
they were brave warriors, and after a seige
of nine months Ohio was apparently no
nearer his hopes than at the beginning
Then one of his Knights advised him to
proclaim tournament at Speirs and prom
ise the counts of Eberstein safe conduct if
they should choose to attend, and mean
time while they were absent, the castle could
be surprised. Otho proiited by this advice
and the tournament was held. The counts
of Eberstein appeared and did themselves
great credit After the tournament there
was ball, and the counts danced with
many of the chief ladies of the company.
During one of these dances the Count of
Eberstein was told by his partner of the
! ruse of the Emperor; she advised him to
confer with his two brothers, and that they
all should leave as early as possible. He
acted on the advice of the fair lady, but af-
ter telling his brothers, they returned again
to the dance, and after little Count Eber-
stein proposed that the Knights and ladies
should reassemble next day to repeat the
tournament, and proposed to leave a
hundred guldens in honor ofthe noble ladies.
The emperor consented and all separated
with great good will but the three counts of
Eberstein fastened to their castle. Next
day all were assembled and waited for the
tournament to begin. AT length it came
out that the counts of Eberstein had return
ed home and the Emperor was outwitted.
Then he sent men to try if they could not
reach the castle before them; but they were
already there, and repelled the assault in
in such manner as to convince all that il
was worse than useless TO continue against
them. Then Otho sent three ambassador.
to negotiate terms with them. The castellan
fconducted them through the castle, and
showed them casks of wine, heaps of fruit
and an abundance of flour. Now the cask,
had false bottoms, and the flour covered q
mass of chqtf; but the ambassadors tolC
Otho that the castle contained provisions
for another nine months, and that it wa,
vain to think OF subduing it. They advised
him the rather to propitiate them by giving
one of his sisters in marriage to Eberhard
the youngest Count of Eberstein. This wa,
done and their union was celebrated
throughout all Saxony.

The Indian W ar.

The latest advlces trou Fort Fe;tcrman state
that the courier who left Gen. Crook camp at
Goose creek 90 the 10th inst arrived at that
post Saturday evening, having been delayed
twenty-four hours by having fallen iu with a
band of hostile Indians from whom he was
compelled to hide. He fears that the cauriers
from Fettermau to Geu. Crock have been to-
tercspted. The hostile Sioux are believed to
b. forty miles north OF Goose creek. General
Crock will make 90 aggressive movement uu
til joined by Terry aud Merrt,'s Commands
Terry is still at the mouth of the Big HorD
awaiting reinlorc,mruts. The statement that
Sitting Bull was billed 10 the fight with Custer
is generally believed, some ludiaus going SO
far as to say that they have seen the body.
Crazy Horse and Black Moon are also reported
killed. Gen. Sherman says that all available
troops in the North and West have been or
d.rei to the Iudian country, aud that the NUN
Der will be amply sufficient to defeat the hos
tile tribes. He does not believe, however, that
the Iodian question can be settled uutl the
Government enters upon the policy of depriv
ing the ludiaDs OF their ponies aud compelling
them to go on foot. When this is done the
indians will be comparatively powerless, and
those upon their reservations will never ven
ture TO leave aud go upon the war path. ln
regard to the reported death OF Situng Bull,
Gen. Sherman says that it will make but little
difference whether it is true or not, as the ln
diaus have fully twenty as capable warriors to
command 10 case OF battle.
