From New York.


ODESSA, May 10th, 1878.
Ed. lNTELLIGENCER In O recent
issue of your paper l noticed an edi-
torial entitled, Where the Pinch Is"
in which YOU refer to the business
capacity Of Mr.. Dexter Horton of your
city, in terms highly complimentary.
Allow me to say that it gives me un-
bounded pleasure to learn of his good
influence among you. and of the sound
business qualities which he possesses in
all local matters.
To his liberality and kindness owe
il. that your valuable paper. the
WEEKLY INTETLLIGENCER, has come to
my address for over year past.
Mr.. Horton was born here. and
attended the district school until he
was about fifteen years old, at which
time his Father. Darius Horton. moved
his family to the State of Illinois
During the lapse of thirty seven
years / knew nothing of my old school
mate Dexter. But during the great
Centennial, which brought all sorts of
our country together, and the people
from the far west. as we'll as from other
localities sought the wonderful oppor.
tunity for instruction which that great
exposition 50 eminently promised,
was very agreeably surprised to receive
call FROM Mr.. Horton. whom | at
once recognized as my old schoolmate
Dexter. of thirty seven years ago. His
call was necessarily very brief. owing
to his great haste. but still found in
him the same genial turn of mind as
was so strongly implanted in his boy
hood. And | could not help thinking
then what your editorial has confirmed
me in, that no man ever lived a full
life who did not make business of some
kind chief staple of it, No one ever
sounded the nights and depths of life,
and drew from its teachings and bless
ings. without enduring sharp and real
suffering as a part of it. The years of
human life are not all composed of
Summer days, it has its long expanse
of Winters cold and gloom. The
picture has its shadows as we'll as its
lights. its dark chasms of gloom as
we'll rs its CLEANS OF glory.
Very respectfully,
+. ]. AGARn.

THE MARROW GAUGE RAIL
ROAD.

Many years ego the stars and stripes
.lmssF drove the commerce Of England
off the ocean by the superiority OF her
trim built clipper ships, over the
clumsy. broad bowed droghees OF the
fathers, and in 1912 the thirteen frigates
Of the American navy struck constern-
alton through all the oaksn ribs Of the
thousand war ships of the British feet,
by reason of the finer calibre of their
guns. So, in the present age we look
to see sweeping victory of the little
narrow gauge railroad over its more
ponderous rival OF the broad track.
Note the advantages The average
cost of the broad gauge road in the
United States and Canada is 81, 200
per mile. The narrow gauge road can
be built for SO. 900 to $4,000. A twenty
two ton narrow gauge engine. writer
says. will haul as many tons OF
paying freight as one of the
forty ton locomotives on the other
sort Of road. They do not have to
have pe ton of car to carry one ton OF
freigN on narrow gauge roads. They
can be operated for 60 per cent. Of
what it costs to operate bread gauge
road. The difference in the rate OF
speed attainsble is not considerable
In view of these facts. it is apparent
ly futile TO talk of broad gauge port
ages around the Columbia obstruc-
tions 10 the Willamettee valley a. af-
fordmg a practicable competition to .
narrow gauge line to Puget Sound. The
margin of advantage in favor of the
cheap and economical narrow gauge
road will always be too great to face
with success We want the road and
we want it right away. In few days,
it isexpeeted. We will be called upon,
one and all. for our pro rata subscrip-
tons. The responsibility and care of
carrying out the work in its details,
and OF bearing the brunt of the bur.
den as it were. however, will not be
rolled upon the shoulders of each indi-
vidual citizen, but will rest mainly
with the unhappy few who happen to
DO placed IN that trying position. 1t
will not, therefore, be necessary for any
to Worry about details of the manage
ment. but only to shoulder each his
share of the load along with the rest
in the way of subscription, and the
work will be accomplished easily,
probably, and INTELLECTUALLY to oil

TIE AL FAIT PARTY.

So thoroughly awakened are our party
going friends to the promise of an extraordi-
nary event this evening, under the auspices
of the Au Fait Club that a mere mention of
the intended fete will be quite sufficient,
under the circumstances. We allude to it to
say, merely, that the management, or COM
mittee of arrangements desire to have it
understood that the dancing will begin at 9
o'clock, sharp, without fail This is no mere
formal announcement; it means business;
and the dancing ,riU begin, as we have said,
at o'clock.

SNOW, SNOW SHOVELING AND SNOW
BIRDS.

THE MORNING APPEAL has heretofore men
hereabout of the larks and robins, song spar
rows and chickadees whose more usual season
of coming is III the warmer days of mild
March or the balmier days of April. But
there vet remains to be mentioned the novel
sensation of shovellng out ones snow-tilled
paths to the tuneful serenade of brace of
ambitious songsters, perched alOft among the
bare branches of the black budded trees. But
this all-veracious writer experienced this
novelty yester-eve. AS the slushy snow fell
hither and thither from the weary shovel Sir
Sparrow piped his lay as saucily an it had
been leafy May And not this alone:
As still the clodded snow was heaped
in shovel fulls and while the toiling shovel
man rested apace, all at once there broke upon
his rain moistened ear the shrill, defiant note
of the Meadow Lark. What brave, SPLEEN
did bird is this Never to be heard without
the reminding of Poor Pats Lament; THE
lark's loud song is in my ear, And the corn
is green again Shall wonders ever cease?
Shall it be said. one of the days that we have
pushed aside the fringes of iciclos to gather
the luscious fruit of the vine! May not the
banana and the fig grow beside some park
where merry skaters are? Who can say that
he may. not gather pomegranates some July
afternoon, under the bleak shadow of the
Sierra, despite the binding fury of the
storm of snow2 The experience we relate is
an actual one. Then why not look with
anticipation for these other things
not any the less to be surprised at.

ABOUT SIDEWALKS, ETC.

When one sits down with a sudden and
violent gravitation and without previous in
tent or self-monition, as it were, there ensues
more of sensation than sentiment, more of emo
ton than cool philosophy, more Of anger than
sense of long suffering, more OF crude out
wardness than true inwardness There might
be related the midnight experience of a belat-
ed scribe hurrying to the worshipof his house
hold gods, fetching up, Tor down, rather), in
the manner indicated, on the cold, cold walk,
with no sympathizing friend at hand and moth
ing but unfeeling awning post for a compan-
ION and a listener, and with no one near
to observe the patience and forbearance
with which he bore his sutierings, But why
snap asunder the more tender chords of the
human breast? Why expose the bleeding heart
all patched and torn and Scared and men
Gedl But it seems to us (and a sensation as
of smarting comes DER us as we rehect). that
if the incline which leads one from the upper
levels of the Harris Bros. sidewalk to the
rmp which lies contagious to the door of the
adjoining barber shop were either Il tri1e less
abrupt or the least bit sleeper, the down-slid-
ing citizen might enjoy the gradient quite as
well as it is at present possible for him to en-
Joy it. But this is a mere suggestion. Far
be it from us to dictate, - Yesterday, City
Marshall Swift took the necessary steps to
dissuade Mr.. John G. Fox from carrying out
his purpose to 50 construct the sidewalk in
front of his property on Carson street (the
old Frisbie Corner, as to make it necessary
for the sidewalk to be of a different gradient
there from the other parts, south and west of
it. We are glad to see the Marshal SO keenly
alive to the duties of his position. Ever
since the Circulating Library made halt on
that corner there has been lack of good
walking thereabout; and while due al
lowances are to be made for the emergencies
of building and repairing, there can be no eX-
cuse for any citizen who is about erecting a
new sidewalk or a new building, dishgur-
ing the general average of the sidewalks OF
our principal street as to add a new step
thereto to stumble over. We understand the
situation of affairs When our little town was
built it was like unto mere camping ground.
Every man put up his shanty just as they
build military railroads, with but little more
respect to grades and levels than is absolutely
necessary. And so we have on Carson street
very picturesque series of ups and downs,
slides and slopes, plain surfaces and abrupt |
elevations which are pleasant to look upon
but not at all advantageous to the midnight
stroller, MOI. yet to the unwary pedestrian of
the more favored hours of the day. So, and
30 and So the MORNING APPEAL trusts that
all good citizens of whatever degree will
lend their aid and influence and endeavor
toward the lettering of our ways and the
greater leveling of our walks. And we will
ever pray etc

SLIGHT ACCmHNT-While Gov Adams
was opening the package containing his maps,
he met with an accident which, while not
serious, may prove to be very uncomfortable.
The maps were done up in stiff layers of thick
pasteboard, which are removed with great
difficulty. Receivers have even been known
to use language notquite orthodox over them.
The Governor was using his knife and while
drawing it towards him through the paste
board it slipped and cut deep cash Of con-
siderable length along the front of his lower
left limb. DR.. Fox was called, took his Elk
cellency home in his carriage, dressed the
wound and the patient is quite comfortable.
Guess he don't care much. 1t is nice to stay
at home and be nursed.
THE LOVERS OF ART should drop into the
Governors Office and admire the invoice of
officers lately received. The gallery, if it
may so be termed being on the first floor,
comprises thirteen well executed portraits of
distinguished ex-Confederate Generals, in full
uniform and one aid. The pictures are
highly colored (not by McClellan) and hand
somely framed. They will remain a short
