DIR. NoRvIN GREEN put into a nut
shell a case which has recently exer-
cised not only Judge Barrett's court
but the powerful minds of number
of our esteemed con temporaries, when
Re yesterday related to the Senate
Committee on Corporations, in con-
nee ion with the matter of the tele'
graphic consolidation, the following
pleasing tale:
"Thess compartments remind me a
good deal of friend of Senator Bright
of Indiana. During the Mormon war
troops were sent out to protect and
assist the Governor. OF course con-
tracts for supplies were to be furnish
ed. A large flour contract was to be
awarded. The gentleman from Indi-
ana went to see his Senator about
getting the contract. He was little
late, and some other applicants who
were already there met him and told
him: Don't you put in a bid yet
We are going to have meeting and
arrange this thing so as to get good
price for the -four. They put him off
and put off their meeting, until one
morning the papers announced that
the contract had been let. The Sena-
tor met his friend and said: Il see
that the contract has been let; is that
all righ?' 1T is if am in, but am
not in. It's - swindle.'
Senator Mccarthy might be able to
match this anecdote with one equally
opposite which used to be current in
Senator McCarthy's city of Syracuse.
An eminent manufacturer of salt in
that own was called on at his count
ing room one day by a count-yman
who d 'lred to sell him barrels. The
manufacturer, after looking over the
load and learning the price by tho
barrel, said with assumed carelessness
that he would take the load, calling
the number 80 many. The simple
countryman assented and piled away
the Barrels. The merchant chuckling
to his bookkesper exclaimed, 4 got
the best of that fellow" whereupon
The bookkeeper carefully counted the
barrels and sadly answered, "No, that
fellow got the best of you." The
merchant rushed out to verify the
count and when he returned slowly
and sadly observed, $50 he did. The
blank, blank thief ~ - Neu York

Bisnarck,s BIanquo.
q Philadelphia Times

FROM the Philadelphia Times.
Whenever Bismarck wants an ex-
ira sum for the war budgets, he
orders his organs 20 enlarge upon
the warlike tendencies of France.
For some time he has been anxious
to buy the railway system OF the
Rhine provinces and Luxembourg,
all converging on the northwestern
frontier lof the French Republic.
Parliament has hitherto refused to
burden the treasury by this enor-
nous outlay. As the time for the
new session draws near the foreign
Office journals have broken out into
storm. of invective against Gam
BETA, accusing him of fomenting a
warlike spirit among his country
men while pushing preparations for
war. The purpose of this is well
understood in France, and no par
ticular attention Is attracted, but
the Germans, conscious of the mis-
taken policy of appropriating AL
SAGE and Lorraine, are easily con-
vinced that war is imminent, and
the public clamor puts a pressure
upon the members that they find it
impossible to resist. The money
will doubtlessly be voted, and the
German war Office will, have rail-
road line enough at its disposition
to assemble twenty corps at Metz in
three days, while IL would take at
least week for France to put its
frontier in state of defense, let
alone in a state to invade.

How WESTERN RAILROADS ARE
MADE TO PAY,-Congress has granted
to the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany 81, $50, 900 acres-a tract as large
as Holland. These acres are valued
at 500, $50, 900. The entire length of
the road will be 2,7Oo miles and the
cost will be s77,OO0,0 600, showing a
neat gain on the g vernment of $24, =
750, 900 over the entire cost of the en-
teIprise. Our Canadian neighbors
have Just contracted for road some
what longer-3, 900 miles, for S25, ,O00,-
900 and % 900, 900 acres of land.
That grant was an immense lift 10
the builders of the Northern Pacific,
and hence there is little wonder at lis
preferred stock running close upon he
7O's and nearly equal to the best stock
on the market.

TEATs OF A COW FROZEN.

From the West Chester News.
George P. Mattlack, OF East Brandy
wine tells us that a very singular thing
occurred with one of his COWS a short
time ago. She was kept In a warm
stable and notwithstand. ng which during
the recent cold weather all four of ber
teats were badly fozen and three of
th m dropped entirely off close to the
udder Since then she has had a calf
which he tells rs has managed to get
along admirably. Sometimes II uses the
remaining dug and other times attacks
the openings where the teats have bsen
and, as the COW has no way Of retaiu.
ing it the milk flows coplously and
which the calf takes with avidity. The
freezing of cows teats IL something
never before known TO any farmer with
N Mr.. Matlack's acquaintance, anl
which be thinks was probably caused
by liniment of spirits Of hartshorI
I'd oil, which was applied to the cow
udder to remove cake which had mad
| ITS appearance. The harishorn he think
extinguished the heat from the teats
causing them to freeze as they did.

LOOKING AZ FTER THE OLIVES" Tile
Washington Gas Stock Company has
long been known to be one of The best
paying stocks in the Market. While
all gas stocks in large cities have been
known to pay, this stock has astonished
many of its holders by the great extra
dividends it has been their good fortune
to be the recipients of. This, 1t appears
has aroused the envy of some of the
members OF Congress, and on Thursday
Mr.. Murch, Of Maine, introduced
resolution reeiting that "whereas certain
officers OF the House and stockholders
of the Washington Gaslight Company
were endeayoring to influence Congress
in the matter of The contract for light
ing the public buildings and grounds,
therefore the Washington Gaslight Com
pany furnish the House of Representa-
tives Immediately list Of all the stock
holders of said company and the
names of each, showing the number Of
shares held at the present time, said
list to be verified under the oath of the
oncers of the company also the
amount of the capital stock of The com.
pany; how its dividends are paid
whether In shares, scrip or cash; also
the cash and assets on hand at the pres
snt time. Mr.. Mufch held that tht
resolution was privileged enc, tha
Congress had chartered the company il
1e49, with capital of 100000. Onl
100000 had been paid in and its capi
tai now, with watered stock, aggregate
S3,000,000 1t is, he said, declarin
dividends equal to 100000 a year, an
it now only awaits the adjournment {
Congress to declare dividend of fort
per cent, equal to Sl,200,o00. Th
resolution was adopted"
That is an easy way for the ayeraG
Congressman to posse himself of
snug fortune and no doubt there al

like Colfax, Garfield, Blaine aud othe
of the Credit Mobiier class, desired

GERMAN peasants are said to have but

offered him the best his humble place
afforded. The family consisted of an
aged grandmother, the father and moth

sons and daughters. The family were
apparently in better circumstances finan.
eially than their neghbors. The house
was OF good proportions, neat and com.

ly one bedroom and one bed To
place in that bed, however, our traveller
was welcome. He was the first TO re.
tire. The apartment into which he was
ushered extended the length Of the
house, and was little wider than the
bed. No room was lost. The narrow
space at the foot OF the bed was wide
enough for all the necessities of the toi-
let, aud If guests were 10 be accommo-

A WEALTHY Greek has deposited
at Athens sum of $50, 600 which is
to be paid to the first Greek who
succeeds in blowing up a Turkish
man-of-war. This is something of a
new idea in warfare and seems a
good one capable of extension. Why
should we not go to the length of
jobbing out war and insuring a
fortress? Thus, an army of so
many thousand men is advancing to
execute a certain movement; why
should not the people invaded give
a contract to an enterprlsing jobber
for the destructing of the force.

WE hear il suggested through several
parties that the Delaware Western bill
will be amended in several particulars
in the House and thus be required to be
sent to the Senate for concurrence. This
may be unfortunate or otherwise, we dc

isthat IN building bridges over creeks

The elder Astor, writes Gath, Is seen
on the streets nearly every day, almost
always alone, walking with a cane. He
is big man, with strong features, a
mild, republican eye, but manifest
traces of both the Scotch and the Ger
man races, from which he is a descend
ant. His ancestors, when they first
came to this country, used to peddle rat
skins, and sleep out among the Indians ;
but he is the author of the hotel system
of America, as well as American de-
Velopment toward the Pacific Ocean.
