NEW YORK, Nov. Sth.-The Star
says: Certain persons residing in
this city have received private tel
egrams from Paris conveying the
Intelligence that Miss Sickles, the
only child of General Daniel Il.
Sickles, late United States Minister
to Spain, has eloped with an Eng
lishman named Mccarthy, the
pair having fed to London. Miss
Sickles is about twenty years old,
and is highly accomplished. 1t ap-
pears that her acquaintance with
Mccarthy had its origin several
months ago, while she was living
in Paris with her step-mother and
two step-sisters. and that the affair
eliminated when Gen. Sickles ar
rived in the French capital short
time ago for the purpose of bring
ing his family home to New York.
Mccarthy is said to have q wife
now living, and his social connec-
tions are said to be very flimsy in
deed. On the escapade becoming
known, after the first shock of sur
prise, Gen. Sickles Immediately

NEW YORK, Nov. 1Sth.-A writer
in the Commercial Bulletin on the
war of the railroads on California
clippers, says: it is well understood
that the railroads have extended
their contracts to the lst of Janu-
ary, in hopes of keeping all those
they had last year and of whipping
in those that still hold out; but
they are counting without their
host, for many who contracted last
year are now availing themselves
of the inducements put out by the
clippers, understanding full well
that the lower the railroads con-
tract with some, the lower the clip
per rates will go; for it may as well
be understood first as last that as
long as grain grows in California
and Oregon, so long will ships go
there for it, and if rates are low at
this end, they are sure to be high
at the other.
