Railroad COntroversy DtcIds ct.
DENVER, COL. August 23.-The
decision in the United States Cir
cult Court for Colorado, Justice
Hallett presiding, in the contro.
versy between the Denver and Rio
Grande Railway Company and the
AtchisoD,- Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad Company, announced
this morning, was in effect that
both companies have the right of
way through Grand Caf1en. The
injunction has been modified to
allow the Denver and Rio Grande
Company to construct without in
reference with the located line of
the Atchison, Topeka ard Santa
Fe Company, which company in
turn is required to so construct as
not to injure the Denver and Rio
Grande or make its line more diff.
cult or expensive. tits understood
that both companies will proceed
with equal rights under the protec-
tion of the Court. Another suit is
in behalf of the Denver
and Rio Grande Company to pre-
vent the construction on its line
and right of way beyond the local
ity of the present controversy,
where there are said to be Gallons
OF equally difficult passage.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-08-24

and Chief McFadden says the
amount will probably reach hun
dreds of thousands of dollars and
that the robbery extended over a
period of ten years. The clerks
have been arrested.

Mr.. X. says he and his brother were
surprised and taken prisoners, whilst at

taken to camp which was located upon
the hill on the Front Royal grade i'm
mediately below Luray. They were
placed in q rail-pen with several other
prisoners, and about o'clock at night
two more prisoners were brought In and
placed in the same pen. Mr.. K. says
he conversed with the new prisoners
and learned from them that they were
captured at Mr.. Daniel Brubaker's, on
the Hawksbill, and that one Of them
was from Maryland, the other from Ca
lifornia.

HEALTHFULNESS OF TOMATOES
This is one Of the most healthful, as
well as the most universally liked of all
vegetables; its healthful qualities do not
depend on the mode of preparation fol
the table; it may be eaten thrice day,
cold or hot, cooked or raw, alone or with
salt or pepper or vinegar, or all together,
to like advantage and to the utmost
that can be taken with an appetite. Its
healthful quality arises from its acidity,
as berries, cherries. currants, and SINH
lar articles; it is also highly nutritious,
but its chief virtue consists in its ten
dency to keep the bowels free, owing to
the seeds which it contains, they acting
as mechanical irritants to the inner
coating of the bowels, causing them to
throw out larger amount Of fluid mat
ter than would otherwise have been
done, to the effect of keeping the mu-
cous surfaces fabricated and sucuring a
greater solubility of the intestinal con-
tents, precisely on the principle that
figs and white mustard seeds are SO fire.
quently efficient in removing cOnstipa-
ton in certain forms of disease. The
tomato season ends with the frost. If
the vines are pulled up before frost
comes, and hung up in well ventila-
ted cellar with the tomatoes hanging to
them, the "Love-Apple' will continue
ripening until Christmas. The cellar
should not be too dry nor too warm
The knowledge of this may be improved
to great practical advantage for the ben
eft of many who are invalids, and who
are fond of the tomato.

THE MODKRN FAHNKR.


The nine of the quail in the stubbls field.
The scent OF the new-mown hay,
And all day long the shout and the song
OF the reapers so far away.
The restless racket amid the grain.
The noise Of the reaping machine;
And ever again the howl OF pain
Comes over the meadow green. Ef
fits
And sings, as it scars and dives:
Where the granger sits and yeIls as he gifts
His fingers among the knives.
No longer we hear on the hillside sere,
The scythe-stone's clinkety clink;
But the reaping machine cuts his leg of. ween,
Before ever the man can think.
With foreboding and tears his good wife hears
The man of the house say goodbye;
To return, in sooth, with horse-rake tooth
Sticking four inches out of his eye.
When the threshers come in with halloo and
din,
How burdened with sorrow the hour.
When they pause to scan what is left Of thu
man
Chawed up in an eight-horse power.
Oh lie and listen! From over the hills,
What voice for the doctor begs?
IT'S the stoker who fell, and. awful to tell,
The steam harrow ran over his legs
Thus all day long, with mirth and song,
They laugh at the dread alarms;
Though the waving field shall its harvest yiel
Of fingers, nd legs, and arms.
Then pity the sorrows of poor old granger,
Whose mangled limbs have borne him to tn
fence;
Who braved, with reckless courage untol
danger,
And run his farm with modern implement

Jenny LIMBS Lover.

In hut in the Catskill Mountains
lives Tobias Van Steenberg, known as
"Boots" from the quantity of leather
he wears, who lost his heart to Jenny
Lind tWenty-eight years ago, and his
reason soon after. At that time he was
young man of twenty-three, just come
to New York, and fascinated with city
life. Hearing Jenny Lind sing one
night, he became her infatuated adorer,
and attended all the one hundred and
fifty concerts she gave under Barnum's
management, expanding nearly $1,000
in the choice bouquets he threw her.
While waiting at the door of Castle
Garden one night to catch a sight of
her, Jenny Lind touched his arm, and
handed him her card. Boots" visited
the great songstress, and asked her to
marry him. She said she would think
of it, but while her ardent admirer was
completely lost in reverence and the
ed from Europe. Soon Van Steenberg
learned of their marriage in Boston, and
his reason departed. His money was
gone too, but, raising $500 at the King
ston IN. " savings bank en- q check
forged on relative of the saM2s DaMe
who had money there, he purchased
hand-organ, and took the steamer on
which the newly welded pair left New
York for Charleston, s. c. On the voy-
age, and in their further progress to-
ward New Orleans, "Boots" got as near
them as possible, and made himself odi-l
GUS with his continuous grinding. FL
nally he became exhausted, and found
his way back to the Catskills, where he
lives alone in pretty spot by the Platte
kill Falls. The interior OF his hut is
trimmed with green's, and adorned with
many curiosities gathered in his travels,
while a faded picture of Jenny Lind
hangs above the chimney-piece. Deco
rated with colored ribbons from head to
foot, "Boots" wanders from town to
town, with troops of children at his
heels. In every village he mounts q
conspicuous position, and, shouting for
attention sings and talks of love. Hei

him roughly, and be hurried home great

The following extract from an article
in the Lexington Gazette fnlly expresses
the position we have always held on the
insane cry for more currency, which is
being raised throughout the country:
&c In the transactions of the legitimate
business of the country very little money
is required. All this talk about enough
money for the business of the country"
is idle moonshine. The actual passing
of money from hand to hand in business
matters is of rare occurrence. With our
system of banks and clearing houses
thousands upon thousands Of dollars are
transferred from man to man by the
mere entrance Of the amount upon the
Bank account, and not one cent of &C.
tual money is seen or heard of in all
these transactions. It is enough to know
that a mans credit is good, and his
check is as good as his money, and in
many instances better, as being more
convenient and more easily transfers.
