full table with its plump turkey, cram
berries, oysters straight from "my
Maryland" fresh vegetables, ices and
varied fruits-a table to be proud of
in new or old lands. 1t is only done
to show our progress, and how we can
say, "get thee behind Us canned
truck" and how we heather have
laid tribute upon the outside barba-
risns tor their best. These same out
side barbarians who pity us for our
snow and what they call our harsh
winters, can never know what per
feet climate and beautiful skies we
have, until they live in such weather
as our Thanksgiving day. This keen
winter sunshine and skies as lovely as
the light of dark eye in woman, will
discount our own summer skies and
the best of 1taly's to-boot. And the
snow, dry and packed smooth and
hard as turnpike and no slush or
dampness for six months, make up 4
season fit tor gods on snow shoes to
live in.
So passed our share of Thanksgiving
daylight A. D., 1881 and the incense
of the day from many happy house
hold in the hills will live until renew
ed another year, and as we sleighed to
the ball with ou! CHEEKY party We
chimed in with Shelley:
" How beautiful this night, the i.lmic,t si.,
Which vernal zephyrs breathe in Evenings ear,
We're dscord to the spoaking quietuie
That wraps this natch!ess scene Heavens ebon vault
Studded with stars unutterably bright,
Through which the moons uncondel grandeur rolls,
Seems like canopy which love has spread
To curtain the sleeping world"
Had Percy B. looked on our moon
and stars he would have let himself
out with more adjectives, as wclet out
our unpracticed joints when we land
ed among the bright eyes and insidl-
Gus music Of the Thanksgiving night
ball room.

Butte is to leave at seven a. m. and
arrive at six p. m. This is little in

A recent issue Of the Salt Lake
Herald contains the following: "It
is the opinion Of those interested in
the Denver and Rio Grande that the
road will be finished to Salt Lake
City early IN January. If, however,
the weather should be unusually stormy
or cold, it will delay the period of
arrival, otherwise the time stated will
pToAbly be sufficient. The grading

thirty miles ofthe distance, and some
sixty miles of iron is now on the way,
arriving daily. Some Sky cars of
different kinds-includlng the twenty
three received already-and the nee
essary engines are shipped, which will
equip the road when finished, SO that
by the time the rails are laid to the
western terminus, everything will be
in readiness for the operation Of the
road.
Besides the iron necessary to lay the
track between Salt Lake City and
Provo, the ninety miles Of rails now
received and on the road, will be
sufficient to run the road through
Clear Greek Canon to the Utah boun-
diary, at which point the western divi-
sion stops. This will leave gap of
some $50 miles to be filled up by those
working West, which will then give
Salt Lake an outlet to Denver. The
iron on the Clear Creek end of the
road will be put down next spring,
and in August next, or thereabouts, i,
IS the intention to commence laying
track from Gunnison, Colorado, this
way. AS iron will be laid at the rate
of two miles per day next winter, ii
present calculations prove correct,
Utah will have an eastern oltlet b,
means of the Denver and Rio Grande
Railway.

The Dayton Journal Of last Thursday
contained the following communication
in regard to d. &. s. K. Ry. matters:
This mornings journal contained an
Interview with Mr.. Lewis Cassel In re-
ference TO the ID. a >. Il. Railroad, In
which he says, 81 should advise any
body who has stock or bonds, If he can
get put what they cost him, to let them
60"
This may ormay not be good advice,
but how Is the stoekhOlder who paid
par for his stock to "get out what 1t
cost him?"
The purchasing parties are Offering
"a mere pittance for the stock, although
they have purchased a majority Of the
bonds, and are now in the market at 20
cents on the dollar, thereby, evidencing
their confidence In the paying proper
ties OF the road.
Mr.. Cassel says they have already
purchased from 1900 to 1900 shares.
Have they purchased this large amount
Of stock for the purpose of destroying
ito value, or do they intend to make Ii
yaluable2 While they are making their
stock valuable must they not make my
stock valuable also?
III | am correctly informed, the capl-
Aal stock OF the company consists Of
about 1900 shares, and that these pur-
.chaseFs have about 1000 more shares to
buy before they obtain q controlling
Interest In the stock OF the company.
This Is not the flrst time an effort has
been made to frighten the stockholders
of the d. u 5. E. r. n. and to obtain
their stock for mere nominal cOnsid-
Grafton. A year or more ago great
atoise was raised about enforcing the
double liability, and large number
Of timid stockholders were induced to
almost give their stock to a speouator
who has since reaped harvest Of dol
dars rs the result Of the scare.
The same parties are again operating
on our fears. hope the stockholders
who 'stood fre" before will do so
again, especially as we have nothing to
lose and everything togan. The road,
with all lts rolling stock and assets OF
every character, stands between the
creditor and the stockholder. The
property Is worth many times the pres
eRt or prospective indebtedness, and
st0ckholders need have no fear OIL
double liability" The present pur-
cbasers have too much invested In bonds
and stocks TO justify them In such
management Of the road as would be
preiudielal TO the interests Of ether
stockholders.
For one, intend to get the value Of
nay stock, or hold Il. The road and It's
iquipmeut ls worth to-day more than
theamount Of the debt and capital stock
eombined, and n the present purchas-
sers.H Care bring It to sale, that fact will
be demonstrated.
Mr.. Cassel says "Mr. Fairbanks
represents the purchasers, and he has
had bis eye on this road ever since u
went into the hands Of the receiver.
MIR. Fairbanks is the attorney OF the re-
eolYer Of the d. & 8. e., and ls fully
Informed as 70 It's present and prospect
lge value.
Ihat the stock viii 20 to par and pay
well within ten years, Is the belief Of
STOCKMoLDER.

~ OF Jan. 2l, 1881, bye. N, Browning, Edit0l
I the Clinton BepublieaE, Wilmington, Ohio
At day-dawn, from the busy site
OF GAINESVILLE industries,
AB. o. train, all new and bright,
swept Eastward like breeze.
Broad fields were passed, where Husbandry
Had left her well l-known mark;
Anon, we swept round wooded hills
Or shot through tunnels dark.
Then hamlets passed, where rural folk
Their morning duties did,
Until full soon the hills were reached
That King Goals treasures hid.
Toiling in front mans servant, steam,
By skillful hand controlled,
And fed by product OF these hills
His pOndeTOus burden rolled.
OhiO's fair and fertile fields
Ourjourney thus far knows,
within whose hOspitable bounds
Our quiet homes repOse.
But soon, as ii by titan power,
Our train seems swung in space,
While far below, ice-lOCked and cold,
A rivers course VIC trace.
Tne day wore On-the company,
Grew weary with its ride,
And strong men yawned and women dozed,
That started open eyed
As Allegheny reared Its crest,
SNOW covered and pine crowned,
Wid b. O.'s sleepiest headed guest,
New interest quickly found.
ygYegazed in wonder at the peaks
Ab6ye rs clad in snow,
r(lF traeddthe witohing Windngs OF
Cheat River, far below.
At Cumberland our generous host,
A tempting lnnch had spread,
As if he knew the weakness of
The editor dead-head.
Our way resumed, past Sir Johns Run,
With Berkley Springs not far,
Through MartinsbuTg and Harper's Ferry,
Familiar in the War.
We swept A.doWn POtOmac's stream,
OFT quoted "quiet" when
Her Shores resOunded 10 the tread
Ofdeadiy armed men
We mused, reioiced, that now, indeed,
Wars sable banner furled,
80 lovingly tine wings Of peace
EBBOdd 0leF our Western world,
] thought TO speak Of what we've seen,
Your mighty industries,
Your churches, factories and schools,
Your shipping and all these.
But time f0rblds, and flesh is weak,
And nature, OVertasked,
Sometimes refuses to respond,
When she knows too much Is asked,
Were pen as ready as my heart,
] would not be ashamed
That all the world should read the lines
That thus are feebly framed.
You know the story, better far,
Than | can tell 1t here,
just how from early morn we've had
Your welcome and good cheer.
Mere words are weak, but this know,
III Scripture still be true,
That those who give are blesseder
Than those they give unto;
That Baltimore ought not to. night
To hold an unblessed man,
For as recipients VIC feel
AS blessed as we can.
