The Way Vanderbilt Succeeded.
When Commodore Vanderbilt was
running steamboats, he beat all rivals
by crowding on steam to the utmost,
and even running down his enemy II
necessary, to accomplish triumph
When he went into railroading, he
adopted mnch shrewder and more sue
cessful way, by uniting vast lines and
their tributaries under his own manage
ment, thus capturing all rivals, ny
sharing with them the immense pool

ipulation. Messrs. Lawrence Il Co.,

A Romantic Marriage.

A special from Westminster, Nd,
tells the following story: A social sen
sation has just occurred here, in the
romantic marriage OF Miss Emma Brock
ett, daughter of Professor Brockett, OF
Western Maryland College. Miss Brock
ett's hand had been soughtin marriage
by two suitors, one resident of this
place, the other student Of the col
lage named Dixie sherwood, of Mont
gomery county. On Monday evening
the rivals met on the street and an en-
counter occurred, resulting in the ar
rest of Mr.. lsherwood and his incarcer
alton in the lookup. He was released,
however, the next morning, expelled
from the college and sent to his home
in charge of a constable, When within
a short distence Of his residence the
young man bade his custodian goodby,
but instead of continuing to his home
he retraced his course and returned to
this place ahead of the constable. Sa
well did the student plead his cause
that the objections previously made tc
the union were withdrawn, and on the
same day the marriage was celebrated.

Mr., Cow. n Goes to Europe,

Mr.. Franklin B. Gowen, president OF
the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
Company, sailed frorh New York fol
Liverpool, Saturday ,on the City Of Rich
mond. One reason given for the jour
ney is that the president desires few
weeks rest and recreation, but tits also
said that Mr.. Gowen goes on important
business connected with railroads IL
New Jersey and Pennsylvania. A di
rector of the Central railroad of New
Jersey is reported as saying: "Mr
Gowen's visit to Europe has an impor,
tant bearing on the railroad and coa'
interests. His principal object is to in
duce the English security holders OF h,s
road to accept leases OF the Central ra'i
road Of New Jersey, the Bound Brook
and the North Pennsylvania ro@is
The leases of the latter two companies
have been effected, and the leasing o
the Central railroad of New Jersey de
pends upon the action of the feceigl

British kteamlH hips.

The new British steamships Mianese
1,640 tons register. and Mercedes, O.
$50 tons, built at Sunderland, have ar
rived to load cattle and general produce
for England. These boats were built
with special reference to adaptability
for the cattle trade, and each can take
400 or 500 head. They are owned by
Glynn & Co., Liverpool, who have been
sending steamers here regularly for
several months. The unusual activity
in steamship building in Great Britain
has been remarked in commercial quar-
ters. Last year over 100 were built,
with all the Improvements in large
carrying capacity and economical work
ing expenses. 1t is claimed that the
English capitalists are building steam
ships to retain their maritime suprema-
sy beyond peradventure, and without
expectation of much present pecuniary
profit. The Mercedes brought 500 tons
spiegel iron and 500 ton scrap steel for
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, to be
used in making steel rails. The Brit
ish steamships Simon and Agnes have
also arrived. Baltimore Sum-"

A Pr ,rEsTANT Episcopal CATHEDRAL.
The New York Evening Post snnoun-
ces as a certainty that definite and
practical shape will soon be given to a
new movement for the erection ofa mag
nifcent Protestant Episcopal cathedral
in that city, an enterprise which was
interrupted by the panic of 1873. As
surances have already been given to the
trustees by wealthy gentlemen interes-
ted which warrant the belief that the
subscription list will he opened with
pledges to the amount of 500, 900. ow-
ing to the depreciation in the value OF
real estate it is thought that a suitable
plot can now be procured for le s than
81 600, 600, although in 1873 the cost ot
a proper site was estimated at 81, ,5oo,'
600. 1t is designed that the seats fol-
worshipers in the proposed cathedral
shall always be free.

straw berries.

We were presented on Monday with
a very fine box Of improved Kentucky
straw berries, grown on the Rose Hill
farm, in New Castle Hundred by Nehe-

cious, and sold readily in the market at
20 cents box. We are pleased to hear
that Mr.. D. has quite large yield of
them, as he goes on the principle that
anything that is worth doing at all is
worth doing we'll. They are cheaper at

How Old He Was.

Smith H. is a notorious joker-one OF
those queer fellows who joke every
where, in all company, and from force
of habit. He was attending court in
answer 70 a subpoena, and was dining
at the public table. He began to chat
with an acquaintance, who presently
asked:
"Smith how old are your"
"If live," replied Smith, solemnly,
"till the Both of next month, shall be
seventy. one."
A lawyer, who sat opposite, here look
ed at him with an expression Of sur
prise, but said nothing. The next day
Smith was called as a witness, and af.
ter giving his name and residence, was
asked his age.
Fifty-three was the prompt re
sponse."
"What!" exclaimed the lawyer.
"Didn't hear you say at the hotel,
yesterday, that you would be seventy
one if you lived until the 30th Of this
month !'
"Next month, sir! With that correc-
tion, | did say So"
"And now you swear that you are

With heavy heart and aching brow,

Write! write write

For his life's succession OF storms,
That around his pathway howl.

Curses by day and curses by night,
When he Is wrong and when he Is right,

The Governor of Michigan has vetoed
law passed by the last Legislature Of

found guilty Of getting drunk, on the
ground that such law might prove

furthermore, in contravention of the

Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is, besides, a

How Some People Are Rude.

A breach of politeness, and one which
is most annoying to refined and sensi-
tive people, is the very general practice
of interrupting ones conversation.
The impunity with which this is done
has degraded rational conversation,
which ought to be the greatest charm
man or woman who has anything to say
that is worth saying, desires to say it
in his or her own way and those who
have brains to appreciate it, will be
equally DESTROYS of hearing it without
interruption. Yet it is a common thing
for a parlor conversation to partake
more of the babble of Babel than O
conversation among rational beings,
who are supposed to know and appreci-
ate what each other says. One begins
to relate an incident, and before he has
finished two sentences some parrot in
fine clothes chimes in with her sense
less gable, breaking the thread of dis
course and compelling the narrator to
begin again or abandon the attempt to
instruct or entertain. This is the gross
est impoliteness but it is as common
an occurrence as conversation itself. It
is hardly too much to say that nine out
OF every ten people who indulge in this
habit are incapable of carrying on ra-
tional conversation on any useful topic,
and they indulge in these breaches OF
etiquette by way of covering their re-
treat and hiding their ignorance. Never
interrupt conversation by interfering
remarks, however appropriate and witty
they may seem. All sensible people
will respect you, and conclude that
you have good sense, and know how to
use it to the best advantage.
Mr.. MOODY AT NoRTHFIELD. Mr..
Moody is described as being at his very
best at Mortified. One of his neigh
bors says of him: 81 have seen him
in a. great many large places, but l
come here to this town, where he knows
everybody and takes an interest in
everybody, to be more thoroughly
charmed with him than ever before.
People like to laugh. Mr.. Moody
knows it, and has tact to put the audi
ence in good humor to commence with"
" That is very good singing for one
congregation" he said at a meeting the
other day at the close of the first verse
OF Guide me, o Thou Great Jehovah"
"but there are good many different
congregations represented here, and we
ought to sing better than that. All
sing now. Mrs. Davis, take that fan
away from your mouth Mrs. Smith,
don't hear your voice Uncle Charles,
