The Southern Pacific Railroad and Its
Connections.

In lengthy interview in the New
York World, Mr.. r. S. Hays, Vice
President of the Missouri Pacific Rail-
road, gives some interesting facts re-
garding the system of roads which are
to form a network of feeders to the
Southern Pacific and thus make com
plete route across the continent and
new connections with Mexico. The
new system consists of the Missouri
and Pacific, the st. Louis, Iron Mount.
ain and Southern, the Memphis and
Little Rock, the Texas and Pacific, the
the New Orleans Pacific, the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas, the Central Branch
of the Union Pacific, with extensions
and branches amounting in all to
nearly 5000 miles. Their eastern
termini on the Mississippi River are
at Hannibal, st. Louis, Cairo, Memphis
and New Orleans; and they reach in
their Western termini, the Gulf of
Mexico at Galveston, Mexico at Laredo
and Ell Paso on the Rio Grande at the
latter point connecting with the South
ern Pacific, through which they reach
San Francisco. In the West they reach
the principal points in Kansas and
Colorado. and the Union Pacific at
Omaha by an extension now build
ing through Nebraska from At
Gibson. The connection will be
made from New Orleans with the
Southern Pacific, which will enable the
traveller from San Francisco to the
East to cross the continent without in
curing the risks of snow blockade,
and the time by this line will not ex-
coed that of the Northern line by
twelve hours. Connections will be
made with Mexico by lateral lines from
st. Louis and New Orleans, and the
great natural resources of Texas, New
Mexico, and Arizona will thus be
opened up.

"A Connecticut horse owner has re-
covered $475 of the town of Windham
on account of the loss of his horse by
lock- jaw, the disease being produced by
treading a rusty nail into his foot, on
the highway. Now it is proposed that
the town shall sue manufacturing
company which made the highway a
dumping ground for old building rub
bish rusty nails included. That would
be eminently proper. Highways are
not made for that sort of use. ......,.

CAREY OF CARSON.

The nlght-mist dim and darkling,
As DER the roads we pass, Hat
Lies in the morning sparkling
As dew-drops on the grass.
Fen so the deeds of darkness,
Which come like midnight dews,
Appear as sparkling items
Next morning in the news.
Away in Carson City,
Far in the Silver Land,
There lives one Justice Carey,
A man Of head and hand;
And as upon this table af
Tho Judge a smoking sat
There r0wdied in a'rougher,
90 Who wore q gallows hat.
He looked upon the Justice, - -
But Justice did not bulge
Until the yOungster warbled,
"Say-d0n't you know me, JudgeT
" 1 think" said Carey, meekly,
& . Your face full well know .....
l sent you up for stealing
q. A horse year ago., iif faH.s -
''Ay, that is just the hair-pin,
am, and that's my line;
And here is twenty dollars
I've brought to pay the fine."
Yon owe no fine" said Carey,
"Your punishment is DER"
mot yet" replied the rover,
1--WE come to have some more. f-
Fust-rate assault and batt'ry
I'm going to commit,
And you no the mournful victim
That intend to hit,
And give you such scrampin'
AS never was, nohow;
And so, to save the lawin', .tl.
guess I'll settle now"
Up rose the Court in splendor;
Y0IInU
Sail IN, my son, sail over,
And we will call it SQUARED
Go in upon your chances
Perhaps you may not miss;
L like to see young heroes
.AmbitiOnin like this"
The young one at the older
Went in with all his heft,
And like fiyin' boulder,
At once let out his left.
The Court, in haste, ducked under
Its head uncommon Spry,
Then lifted the intruder
With puncher in the eye
A regular right-hander;
And like cannon-bail,
The young man, when percussioned,
Went over to the wall,
In just about second,
The Court, with all its vim,
Like squash-vineS DER a meadow,
Went climbing over him.
Yea, as the pumpkin chambers
Above an Indian grave,
Orr the Mississippi
numbers with his wave,
And merrily slops over
A town in happy sport,
Zen so that man was clambered
ALI over by the Court.
And in about minute
That party was so raw,
He would have seemed a stranger
Onto his dearest squaw;
Till he was soft and tender,
This mOrsel once so tough,
And then, in sad surrender,
He moaned aloud" Enough''
He rose, and Justice Carey
Said to him ere he went,
" do not think the fightin'
You did was worth a cent,
l charge for time two dollars,
As lawyers should, it's plain;
The balance of the twenty
give you back again.
-" like to be obligin' .
TO folks with all my powers,
So when you next want fightin'
Don't come in Office hours;
l only make my charges
For what's in legal time
Drop in, my son, this evenin'
And Tllnot charge a dime
Tho young man took the guerden,
Ashe had ia en- the scars;
Then took himself awayward
TO the China City cars.
IT'S glorious when heroes M
Go in to right their wrongs;
But IL you're only hair pins,
o, then beware of tongsl

THE RAILROAD BOON.

The extent oil the railroad building
mania, which is now raging throughout
the country, may be estimated, says a
New York exchange. by the following
facts. A well-known and extensive
commission house in this city. engaged
exclusively in supplying railroad stores
and machinery, the other day sold 20
locomotives for a new road. the locomo-
tives still to be built. The price to be
paid was large, but had it been possible
for the locomotives to have been deliv-
cred at once they could have been sold
for . much larger price. The same house
received the other day an order for a
considerable number Of sets of survey
ors' instruments, to be supplied imme-
diately, but they could not be found at
the instrument-makers, whose stocks
were all exhausted, and a search through.
out the city for second hand instruments
also proved fruitless. An order was re-
ceived here, also, a few days since, for
two competent surveying engineers, to
60 to work Immediately upon a new line,
with very liberal pay and all their *
penses betrayed. but they could not be
found in the city. Everything in the
railroad line is booming, and a harvest
is being reaped by the manufacturers,
commission merchants, engineers and
surveyors, such as they have not had for
many a long year.

a ~DEMoCRArIC BLUxDER.

Should Garfield recover, and he will,
he is likely to be renominated in 1854
from sheer sympathy, with more than an
even chance for reelection. We believe
that it is safe now to predict that ne will
be the Republican candidate. OF course
he has remaining over three years OF adj
ministration in which to destroy his
prospects before the country. Little
need be expected by Democrats on this
score. Garfield is a brainy fellow, and
his history shows that be is the most
adroit trimmer in all the land. He is
not going to butt put his wi brains.
But all of these contingencies could
have been averted. They are made posi-
BILE solely by a Democratic blunder. Mis-
takes by the leaders of a great party fall
little short of the highest grade Of
crime. There can be no ~palliating cir
cumstance.
Every Democrat should have voted
against Robertson's confirmation. With
Robertson's rejection Conkling would
have remained in the Senate, the able
leader of the INSTRUMENTATION wing Of
the party; with Robertson's rejection,
Republican division would have been
perpetual. Robertson was confirmed
only by the nearly unanimous support of
Democratic Senators, who seemed to re-
gard themselves as a kind Of Senatorial
police, sworn to help the administration
of Mr.. Blaine, and club to death anybody
who dared to cause the slightest disturb
ance in the unity of the Republican par
ty. And aside from all this the Demo-
cratic Senators were untrue to their party
and the country. Garfield and Blaine
removed Collector Merritt without cause.
There was abundant testimony that he
had been a competent and faithful officer.
Right on this point is where the Demo-
cratic Senators should have taken their
stand. 1t was a duty they owed to
themselves and the people. Every man
who departed from it by voting to con-
firm the half-breed Robertson wrote him.

President Arthur continues to remain in
good health, although the suspense to
which he has been subjected during the
past eight weeks, and the necessity
which he has felt for depriving himself,
under the circumstances, Of his usual
Summer relaxation and pleasures, have
been very trying. He remains at his
home nearly all the time, and receives
few visitors. He has become very grave
and sedate; and there is no man in the

STORY ABOUT 4 LAWYER.

A story is going the rounds to the effect
that "a Wyoming Territory lawyer who
sawed his hand off by mistake COM
planned, after the hand was buried, that
his thumb was cramped and hurt him
badly" The account goes on to state
that 'the severed hand was unearthed,
the drawn-up thumb Strengthened and
the distress of the wounded man re-
lieved." The first part of the story is
probably true, says the Inter- Ocean, for
a lawyers hand might naturally enough
grasp a fee SO tightly as to give pain to
the whole system, even after the Offend
