CALVES TON,


Correspondence Of the Herald,
GALVESTON, Oct. 8, 1850.
The directory of the Gulf, Colorado q
Santa Fe railroad arc reticent about making
anv admissions and while none discourage
the proiect of going to Dallas, and admit
that /. would be certainly advantageous to
the road, and doubly so if the line is con-
structed from Paris, Lamar county, to your
city, each and every one has said, Lot the
Dallas people confer together, decide what
they can give in the way of money, fran
chises, etc, appoint q committee to confer
with us, and if their proposition is favorable
anddemonstrstes clearly whether 1t will be ad
vantageous to us to run line into that live,
active, bustling metropolis of north Texas,
their proposition will receive our careful and
favorable consideration. Let Dallas come
and see us with committee OF her live, sub
stantial business men, with tangible propo-
sition, and they will be cordially received and
accorded respectful and attentive hearing.
We recognize that the interests Of Dallas
and Galveston are mutual that what tends
to advance one builds up the other, and We
trust tho citizens of Dallas will view it in that
light, and meet US with q proposition that
will be alike acceptable to both. Last night
on my way home to dinner, met that big
Drained, whole-souled man, John Sesly, the
manager of the road. After AN interchange
of courtesies, l opened fire: "Wel Mr..
Sealy, want to Interview you Tomorrow
about the possibility and probabilities Of your
road running line into Dallas. The people
of that live city would ike to know some
thing definite IN regard to a matter of such
vital importance" "Well, really, l am moi

The fourth annual fair will open here on
next Tuesday and continue four days. From
present indications this will be the best fair
ever held in Harrison county. The grounds
have been put in first class order, and the en-
tries are larger than ever before. The races
will be more numerous, and with faster
stock. The pigeon and glass.ball shooting
will excel any former exhibition in east
ern Texas. Eight hundred splendid birds
arrived here Yesterday from Chicago, and
glass balls have been received in quantities
amply sufficient for every day of the fair.

A STORY FROM RLM1RA.

A gentleman well known in this city as
a ''red-hot Republican and something OF
betting man, after an absence of several
years, returned to the city of his younger
days early in the Presidential campaign.
Early in the summer he made no wagers,
but after the Indiana election he sailed
ip, betting large amounts. He made some
wagers on the general result, but most Of
his money was placed on the result III New
York He must have had several thousand
dollars at stake on the turn of the political
wheel of fortune III this State. About a
week before election day Democratic
friend asked him if he was not carrying
all of his eggs in somewhat frail basket,
saying that New York State was even more
likely to 90 Democratic than Republican.
In support of this it was said that New
York city would give at least 10000
Democratic majority. Upon this the
backer of Republicanism said: Have
you pencil and notebook 2" {" Yes.
"Take them and write down what tell
you" The pencil and notebook were taken
out, and he dictated as follows New
York city will give Hancock majority of
Have you got that down ~ " Yes"
Forty -one-Have you got that ~ ''Yes.''
" Forty -one thousand one hundred and
forty. one. "All right; just look at those
figures after the election" And when, on
Thursday morning, his Democratic friend
took up the Advertiser, he read the figures
of Hancocks majority as returned at po-
lice headquarters at Al, 1926. A man that
can guess the majority of New York city
within lS5 on poll of over 200, 600 votes
has right to back his figures with his
money. If any one doubts the truth Of
this little tale, he can call at this office and
see the memorable figures, al, l4l, as they
were written ten days before election-day-

NEW DEPOT AT OAKLAND.

The Oakland Times thus describes the
new depot building about to be erected by
the Central Pacific Railroad Company at
Oakland:
About fifteen months ago the Central
Pacific Railroad Company commenced the
work of building the mole from the shore
end at West Oakland to distance of six
Thousand five hundred and fifty feet. This
work is now completed. At the shore end
this mole is six hundred feet wide To-
ward the center it narrows to about two
hundred feet and again widens out two
hundred and eighty feet. AT the water
end the fill-in is about twenty two feet in.
depth. Arrangements are being made to
lay down tracks, upon which all the pas.
senger trains shall heneeforth pass, taking
passengers from the ferry boats directly
into cars which will travel over solid
ground. Nothing but passenger trains will
be run to the ferry landing. There is
ample room for ten tracks at the
outer end of the mole, and suff-
cient il any part of it for six tracks
At an early day work viii commence on
the finest railroad building on the Pacific
coast, which will be built on the outer end
OF the mole as uepot Ior passengers, othce
of Superintendent and other offices. This
building will be 260 feet wide and 600 feet
long, with two wings each 900 feet in
length, into which trains viii run, and it
will be arranged so that passengers going
to San Francisco, who desire to so on the
upper deck OF the steamer, will 60 up stairs
into waiting rooms and pass from thence
on the upper deck of The ferry boat, which
will run close in. There will also be d
waiting room below for those who wish to
pass Immediately on the lower deck of the
steamer. The trains will be run into this
building and locked in Arthur Brown, the
man who built the hotel at Monterey, viii
build this vast structure, and it is expected
that it will be ready fer use in about
three months time. The building VIII be

Is NATURE IRRATIC ?

At the last meeting Of the Lime kiln
Club, says the Detroit Free Press, the
Committee on Harmony reported that the
Concord School of Philosophy and the
Chicago Chamber of Metaphysics were
again by the ears, and had asked the as
sistance of the Lime kiln Club to settle
their dispute. The Concorders held that
nature could not make a mistake the
Chicago philosophers contended that she
could be thrown off her balance. Neither
would recede from the position taken, and
the club was appealed to. Il wish de
dispute had bin on de subject of beans or
taters," observed the old man as he
scratched the bald spot ON his
head. "Kin natur' be frowed off her
balance OATS cordin' to how we
look at it. If I've got my corn
planted an hung mp de hoe an long comes

If my nabur war jist ready to plant, he gins

A NARROWING TAIL.

Not long since Texas man read in a
paper that if string were tied lightly
around the root of mules tail it would,
in cases of colo, give the animal instant
relief. He tried the remedy on one of his
own mules, and the doctors say that the
portion of the tail thus isolated was soon
swelled up bigger than the mule. The
Texas man says the mule turned its head
and saw his monstrous tail aud got alarmed
and began to kick. The first kick drove
the mules tail away out behind, but the
tail Immediately swung back and knocked
the mule forward little-the tail was so
heavy. That made the mule madder'n ever,
and it kicked like fury. That only gave the
tail more momentum, and on it's return it
knocked the mule about rod. The
mule looked around and didn't see any
body and kicked again. The tail was
there as regular as pendulum, and it
came back like steamboat running race
That time it lifted the mule over the barn
yard fence. But the mule lit on its feet and
struck out again-same as ever. The tail
fairly laughed as it caught the mule on
the launches and drove it down the lane
mile and half at every whack. 1t looked
like destruction to the mule as mule and
tail disappeared in the distance. But, after
three or four hours, returning cloud of
dust was seen, and soon the mule emerged
therefron kicking as briskly as ever-but
the tail was totally used up and gone. Not
being able to offer any more resistance, of
course the mule kicked himself back to the
starting point. This is not campaign
lie. L New Orleans Times.

SPEED OF rsIEeRApHIc WORK.


The Electrician refers to the new edition
of McCnlloch's Dictionary of Com
merce " as authority for the statement that
good operator can send 1000 words per
hour, but remarks that the conditions are
not given. The same journal cites a state
ment from an American contemporary
concerning the recent transmission of
campaign speech from New York to Gin
cinnati, By the Phillips system of steno-
telegraphy, in five hours and five minutes,
the number of words being l6, 900, or over
80 words to the minute, or say, 3, l47 words
an hour. The utterance of the speech con-
sumed three hours and forty minutes and
although the work of Transmission did
not begin until the speaker had been under
way for fifteen minutes, the entire
speech was in the Cincinnati printing office
in one hour and twenty-five minutes after
it's conclusion in New York. The wire was
worked without repeater" and the
matter transmitted fully equal to what
would be the average by the Morse system
on three wires, by three senders and three
repeaters. The process is entirely by hand,
the dispatches being received by an ink
recorder of great simplicity, which pays
out narrow strip of tape, on which the
matter is plainly printed in linear char
acters. Dispatches printed by Mr.. Phil

operator reading from the manuscript.
