Something that was omitted by our Wash
ington correspondent:
Doorkeeper Polk was inquired of as to
the appointment of George &. Wedderburn
to position in which he was paid at the
rate Of $15O per month. He said that We'd
derburn was rival candidate for the posi-
ton OF doorkeeper, and during the canvass
an arrangement was made, in accordance
with which Wedderburn was to be provided
for in some form In consideration of his
withdrawing from the canvass and of the
support OF bis friends being turned over to
Polk. No such salary as that paid to Wed
derburn was authorized by law, but it was
thought that Wedderburn, under the cir
cumstanees, ought not to receive less than
that amount. The Committee on Accounts,
however, cut down that salary, like all
others on the extra roll, twenty per cent.

Therefore, in national view, the Texas
Pacific railway is overwhelmingly ilaport-
ant to the United States. In reference to
the defensive power Of the Republic it is
eminently desirable that we should have
trans-continental railways on q northern
line OF latitude and one on a southern line.
The Pacific coast should have their auxili-
airy forces at proper intervals, so as toieaye
no important stretch OF territory beyond the
reach Of prompt succor. Commercially
these highways should have the yigor Of in
dependence and the stimulus OF competi-
ton. They should be independent to q de-
gree that not shade even of an alliance
should be permitted TO suggest suspicion. d
The Texas-P Pacific line, on the SS2d par
aliel OF Latitude, was chartered years ago !;
but the charter lapsed, and it is now asked
OF Congress that IL shall be rechartered-a
fact which our readers understand. The
Central Pacific monopoly, the great head OF
the Mobilier corruption, is the COM
petitor that seeks to prevent this recharter,
and furthermore seeks the right OF way for
parallel railway which would result in
defeating the construction OF the Texas-Pa-
ci6c line, By forcing a combination that
would establish the most powerful monop-
oily that ever existed in the civilized world.
This central line has had from the Gov
ernment fifty-three millions OF acres Of land
and Jean Of over sixty four millions OF
money. The northern Inc iJAYs Gs0Kg's),;

Select Story.
THE LOTTERY OF LIFE.

The Recue des Deur Mondes contains
several "Incidents in the War of Mexi-
can Independence from which We
select the following thrilling scene. A
Captain in the insurgent army is giving
an account of meditated night attack
upon a hacienda, situated in the Cor
dillera. and occupied by large force Of
Spanish soldiers After variety of de-
tails, he continues:
Having arrived at the hacienda un-
perceived, thanks to the obscurity of
moonless night, we came to halt under
some large trees at some distance from
the building, and 1 rode forward from
my troop in order to reconnoitre the
place. The hacienda, so far as / could
see in gliding across the trees, formed a
huge. massive parallelogram, strengthen
ed by enormous butteresses of hewn
stone. Along this chasm the walls of
the hacienda almost formed the contin-
uation of another perpendicular one,
chiseled by nature herself in the rocks,
to the bottom OF which the eye could not
penetrate, for the mists which incess-
antly boil up from below did not allow
it to measure their awful depths. This
place was known in the country by the
name of "the Voladero"
had explored all sides of the build
ing except this, when l know not wha
scruple of military honor melted me to
continue my ride along the ravine which
protected the rear of the hacienda. Be
tween the walls and the precipice there
was narrow pathway about six feet
wide; by day the passage would not have
been dangerous, but by night it was a
perilous enterprise. The walls OF the
farm took an extensive sweep, the path
crept around their entire basement, and
to follow it to the end in the darkness,
only two PAGES from the edge ofa perpen
dicular chasm, was no very easy task
even for as practiced horseman as my
SELF Nevertheless. I did not hesitate,
but boldly urged my horse between the
walls of the farmhouse and the abyss Of
the Voladero. l had got over half the
distance without accident, when all of a
sudden my horse neighed aloud. The
neigh made me shudder. Ihad reached
the pass where the ground was just wide
enough for the four legs Of a horse, and
it was impossible to retrace my steps.
aHalloo," 1 exclaimed aloud, at the
risk of betraying myself-which was
even less dangerous than encounteringa a
horseman in front of me on such a road.
There is Christian passing along the
ravinel Keep back"
1t was too late. At that moment
man on horseback passed around one Of
the buttresses, which here and there
obstructed this accursed pathway. He
advanced toward me. Itrembled in my
saddle; my forehead was bathed in cold
sweat.
@For the love of God can you not
returns" 1 exclaimed, terrified at the
fearful situation in which we both were
placed. rf
"impo.ible!' replied the horseman in
hollow voice. @ ]

self for few moments-and then re-
commenced the same maneuver. All of
a sudden felt bis hind legs give way
under me. A horrible shudder ran
through my whole frame. l closed my
eyes as if about to roll to the bottom of
the abyss, and I gave to my body VIC
lent impulse on the side next to the
hacienda, the surface of which offered
not single projection, not single tuft
or weeds to check my descent This
sudden movement, joined to the desper-
ate struggles Of my horse, was the saliva
ton of my life. He had sprung up
again on his legs, which seemed ready
to fall from under him, so desperately
did feel them tremble.
had succeeded in reaching, between
the brink of the precipice and the wall
of the building, spot some few inches
broader. A few more would enable me
to turn him round, but to attempt it here
would have been fatal and 1 dared not
venture. 1 sought to resume my back
ward progress, step by step. Twice the
horse threw himself on his hind legs and
fell down upon the spot. 1t was in vain
OF urge him anew, either with voice,
bride or spur; the animal obstinately
refused to take a single step in the rear.
Nevertheless did not feel my courage
yet exhausted, for / had no desire to
die. One last and solitary chance of
safety suddenly appeared to me like
flash of light, and resolved to employ
it. Through the fastening of my boot,
and in reach of my hand, was passed a
sharp and keen knife, which l drew
from its sheath. With my left hand
began caressing the name of my horse,
all the while letting him hear my voice.
The poor animal replied to my caresses
BY plaintive neighing: then, not to
alarm him abruptly, my hand followed
by little and little the curve of his
neck, and finally rested upon
the sp)t where the last of the vertebre
unites itself with the Uranium. The
horse trembled, but calmed him with
my voice. When felt his very life, so
to speak. palpitate in his brain beneath
my fingers, I leaned over toward the
wall, my feet gently slid from the stir
rups, and with one vigorous blew 1
buried the pointed blade of my knife in
the seat of the vital principle. The
animal fell. as if thunderstruck. with
out single motion; and for myself,
with my knees almost as high as my
chin, l found myself on horseback
across a corpse. Twas saved uttered
. triumphant cry, which was responded
to by the Colonel, and which the abyss
with hollow sound, as if it
felt thatits prey had escaped from it.
I quilted the saddle, sat myself be-
tween the wall and the body of my
horse, and vigorously pushed with my
feet against the carcass of the wretched
animal, which rolled down into the
abyss. l then arose, and cleared at a
few bounds the distance which separa-
ted the place where l was from the
plain, and under the irresistible reac-
lion of the terror which 1 had SO long
l sank in a swoon upon the
ground. When l re-opened my eyes
the Colonel was by my side.

The reputation it has attained, in
consequence of the marvellous cures it

public that it will continue to realize
the happiest results that can be desired.
In almost every section of country
there are persons, publicly known, who
have been restored from alarming and
even desperate diseases of the lungs,
by its use. All who have tried it &C.
knowledge its superiority; and where
its virtues are known, no one hesitateS
as to what medicine to employ to re-
lieve the distress and suffering peculiar
to pulmonary affections- CHERRY Pee
ToRAL always affords instant relief, and
performs rapid cures of the milder va
rietieS of bronchial disorder, as well as
the more formidable diseases Of the

As a safeguard to children, amid
the distressing diseases which beset
the Throat and Chest of Childhood, it
is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
multitudes are rescued and restored to
health.
This medicine gains friends at
every trial, as the cures it is constantly
producing are too remarkable to be
forgotten. No family should be with
