Hoxie's Hoist.

The coming Railroad King of the
Southwest seems to be II. II. Hoxie,
the new manager of the GOuld's St.
Louis and Pacific lines. He has more
miles of road under his management
than any other man OH the Continent.
The lines managed by him are the
Iron Mountain route, the Texas
Pacific, international and Great North
ern, and numerous other branches.
He Is boss from St. Louis to FL Paso
from St. Louis to Austin, San Antonio
and Laredo. 1t was only few years
ago that Hoxie was a youth TO for
tune and fame unknown" He j. a
self-made man; aud made his debut
into the world Of business as County
Clerk Of Polk County, Iowa, in 1856.
In 1851 he. was appointed United
States Marshal for the District Of
Iowa, and reappOinted in 1865. lie
commenced his railroad career in
upeTintending the construction Of the
Union Pacific Road, and gained great
credit for its Inauguration. After the
completion Of the Union Pacific
HOxie went to Texas and built the
International and Great Northern for
Eastern parties, and was soon INSTALL
ed as General Superintendent, which
position he still holds.
He is said to have but few il any
rivals in the Southwest as a railroad
manager of great ability.

Pullman Palace Car Fare to be In
creased.

The astounding information has
leaked out that within short time
he-Pullman Palace Car Company
will increase its prices from 50 to So
per night, the same as it was prior to
the reduction.
This information win be a surprise
to a great majority of the travelling
public who had supposed that the
price would be cut down rather than
increased.
The repoported cause for the contem-
plated increase is said to have grown
out of a general kick, coming from
the so-called aristOcratic travelling
population, that by making the fare
Ie than So served to admit the s'pOOr-
er class" of society to the same priyi-
lege as that enjoyed by those with
more wealth, and on account of the
exodus of the "pOOI class" to the
Sleeping-cars the aristOcrats have
signified their intention of withdraw
ing their patronage altogether. The
| Information, as received by an En-
qujrer reporter Yesterday, was to the
effect that the New England people
we're entering the most violent pro-
tests against allowing the spOOr class"
/ the comforts of the sleeping-cars.
This falling Off of the patronage on
the New England roads by the "bet-
Ter class" is said to be regarded as
serious question. 1t is said not long
ago party of farmers and their fam
/ lies were passengers on board sleep
or on the Boston and Albany railroad,
whereupon the 'high-toned" passen-
gers were compelled to leave the car
IN account of the countri1ied conduct
Of the farmers in gazing at the inte-
| riOr beauties of the structure, and oc-
casionally INDUCING in loud CONVEX
sation, which was to the ''better class"
TOO utterly utter Notifying to their
| lignity The same report is to tie
effect that a petition, signed by the
better class" asking that additional
charges be made for the privilege of
sleepers, was sent to the Pullmans,
which was by them favOrably consid-
az. Il

Onnosifes in Mafrimonr.

Theodore Parker wrote: Young
people marry their opposites in tenn
permanent and general character. and
such marriages are generally good
ones. They do it instinctivelv. The
young man does not say, MY black
eyes require to be wed with blue and
my over-vehemence requires to be a
little modified with somewhat dulness
and reserve" When these oppOsites
come together to be wed they do not
know it, but each thinks the other
just like himself. Old people never
marry their oppOsites; they marry
their similars, and from calculation
Each of these two arrangements is
very proper. In their long journey
these oppOsites will fall out by the
way a great many times, and charm
the other back again, and by and By
they will be agreed as to the place
they will 90 to, and the road they
viii 90 by, and both become recon
ciled. The man will be nobIer and
larger for being associated with so
much humanity unlike himself, and

ing manhood beside her tina. seeks to
correct her deficiencies and supplying
her with what she lacks, if the diver
sity be not too great, and if there be
real generosity and love in their
hearts to begin with. The old bride
groom, having a much shorter Jour
neY to make, must associate himself
with oIe like himself. A perfect and
complete marriage is, perhaps, as rare
as perfect personal beauty. Men and
women are married fractiOnaliy ; now
a small fraction then q latCcpT. fra t.fiOn
Very few are married totally. ana
they only, think, after some forty OF
fifty years of gradual approach and
experiment. Such large and swec'
fruit is complete, marriage that il
needs a long summer to ripeu in, and
then long winter to mellow and
season. But a real happy marriage
of love and judgment between a noble
man and woman is one of the things
so very handsome that if the sun
were, as the Greek poets tabled, a god,
no might stop the world to feast his
eyes with such a spectacle.

Major Sanger and the Mule-Whaclrer

Chicago Inter Ocean: Major San
ger, who is know in military slang as
bantam" was returning one day
recently from Bismarck to Fort Lin
coin, which is across the river, and
the ambulance in which he was riding
was delayed by a team and wagon
driven by one of the class known as
mule-whackers in this country. The
driver of the abulance and the mule
whacker got into a wordy alteration,
and Major Sanger got very indignant
at what he believed TO be impairment
language and unwarrantcd interior
.:nce in his journey. He jumped from
the ambulance, Tom Thum in size
but Goliah in fury, and exclaimed 4:
''Get that wagon out of the way"
The mule-whacker looked at him
quiZzically and asked:
''Who the devil are you ?"
81 am Major Sanger, of the army,
sir, and L want you to get that wagon
out of the way"
The mule-whacker elected a mouth
full of tobacco into the road and re-
marked:
"Doyou know What will do with
you, Major Sanger, OF tie army, sir, if
you don't make less noise with your
mouth ?"
"What VIII you do p inquired the
Major, looking as large and as fierce
as possible.

you, Major Sanger, Of the army, sir,
and give you to my puppy TO play

therefore kept near him to take adj
vantage of any exposure of himself
that lac might make, bat he made
none of general character, such as
would have justified battle, and re-
PEELED his almost daily partial assaults
with trifiing loss, while he on all oe-
easions suffered heavily We fell
back before him nine4y-three miles in
seventy-twO days. The sum of our
losses was about 10000. His we esti-
mated at five times as much-from the
opinions of experienced officers, re-
ports of prisoners taken daily, and
statements of Northern papers. This
course, if continued, would soon have
so reduced the disparity of numbers
as to give us the advantage in battle 4;
and If we could have defeated the
enemy on this side of the CIattahoo-
chez, his destruction was certain. i
therefore thought, and still think, my
plan of operation correct.

Lookinr Into the TrensurY.

Cincinnati Gazette's (Rep.) Wash
ington Special: There is a general
conviction here that under President
Artilur's administration the investi-
CATION of the Treasury Department,
started by Secretary Window and so
suddenly stopped, will be reOpened and
carried through. Of course this viii
not be done until a new Secretary of
the Treasury is appointed. There is.
considerable nervousness in certain
official quarters in apprehension of
the coming investigation. This much
is known, that President Arthur, in
speaking of the alleged Star-route
frauds to the AttOrney-Gene and to
George Bliss, declared in a general
way that all frauds upon the Govern
ment should be exposed, and whenev-
er there was any evidence of fraud it
should be investigated. The Presi-
dent indicated that such would be his
policy, as in his opinion public Off
3ials who betrayed their trusts or mis-
used their power should be not only
exposed, but punished, and that, on
the other hand, where the allegations
of misconduct were made, there was
no way to clear the parties accused, if
IiOy "SiV AhiiOSOuO5 C1ACSPI ~ ,iOA
oughly investigate the accusations.
It will be remembered that the COM
miitee appointed to investigate the,
Custodian's office in the Treasury sub
mitted preliminary report implicat-
ing a number Of persons. Custodian
Pitney was dismissed, but the report
was locked UP and the investigation
stopped. Soon after the submission
If this report President Garfield was
shot Had that not occurred, or had
he recovered, no doubt the investiga-
ton would have been prosecuted.

The Presidents Deathbed su nering.

New York Tribune: So little COM
plant Gr repining was heard from the
sick bed of. the President, so heroic
was his persistent cheerfulness, that
the impression grew general that he
suffered very little, and that he was
not aware of the gravity of his condi-
UiOn. This was an error, and is calcu-
lated to detract from the true gran
deur of the example which this great
man has left us in his death. His
sufferings were terrible and almost
constant. In one of the last dreadful
days at ElberOn a spasm of pain seiz-
ed him when his wife was present
He tried TO conceal his agony from
her, but she observed he was suffer
ing, and said, "What hurts you, dear ~
He replied, 1T hurts only to live"
He was courteous and cheerful to all
about him, even after all hope of re-
covery had gone from him. Talking
on the last day with Colonel Rock
well, knowing his end was near, and
wondering, in his manly humility,
whether he had done enough to be re-
membered, he said, "Rockwell, fully
realize my situation" and then after
long silence said with pathetic in
tensity: do you think my name viii
have place in human history :" To
which his friend answered: yes, a
grand one, but a grander place in hu-
man hearts" Even before the flight
to ElberOn he knew that he would
not live, and yet he heartened
and cheered everybody around
his bedside with his own in
domitable courage. But lac did not
attempt to deceive himself When on
one occasion, he was wheeled Oh his
bed from his own room across the
hall, Colonel Rockwell said: "You
have made this short journey so well
that you can easily attempt a longer
one" yes" he replied, lit can cast
" expand into the long, long journey
home"

Fishine for AlIigators.

Fishing for alligators in the soft
mud of an uncovered lake bottom is a
form of the anglers sport which
probably Izaak Walton in his most
halcyOn moments never dreamed of /;
but it is precisely this which has been
going on near Natchitoches. La. Sib-
ley Lake, just west Of that city, has
become almost entirely dry during
the summers drought, and the alli0a-
tors which infest it have sought sOlace
and refreshment by buryiHg them
selves deep in the moisture Of the
lake bed Their whereabouts are
easily discovered by the huge burrows,
the entrances of which have been
worn smooth by the passage of their
ugly deHizcbs. q party Of men from
Natehitoches recently visited the spot
for the purpose of extracting a few Of
these alligators from their soft places.
Their method of procedure was to
thrust a long iron rod with a hook at
one end into one Of these caverns and
stir up the occupant, who would
naturally close its pondeFous jaws up
on the intruder. With that accom-
plished nothing remained but TO draw
the reptile to the surface ard despatch

The Lost Jeanrtfe.

The whaling schooner, r. B. Han
dy, Capt. Winaps, arrived at San
Francisco October I'd, from the Arc
tic sea, and brought down Capt. Gif
ford and the crew of whalers Daniel
Webster, crushed by ice near Point
Barrow. Capt Clifford confirms the
report contained in the cablegram
published by the New York II er0ld,
September u, that the natives had
seen a wrecked ship far to the east
ward, and four white men among the
natives. The conversation between
Clifford and the natives was conducted
principally by signs and it was diff
cult to understand. The white men
were either dead or sick. as the ma
tives in speaking of them indicated
their condition by laying the head on
the ground in the attitude Of sleep or
death.
