The New Cabinet.

President Garfield sent the names of his

Illinois

Louisiana.
The members of the new cabinet, with the
exception of Mr.. Lincoln, Secretary of War,
and MIR. James, Postmaster General, are well
known. Mr. Lincoln is son of Abraham
Lincoln, and is said to be man of some abli-
ty.
Mr.. James has been for some years past
| postmaster of the city of New York. His
| administration of that office has won the I'M
qualified commentator of the press of all
parties. 1t is safe to say that straw bids and
star route frauds will no longer flourish in his
department
Mr. Wayne McNeagh, the new Attorney
General, is son-in.law of Simon Cameron
but has been opposed to his venerable father.

Another Important Railroad Move.

At the annual meeting of stockholders of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, in Phila-
delphia, on Tuesday, President Roberts an
nounced that his Company had obtained con.
troll of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad. The news was great
surprise in railroad and business circles as il
was generally understood that the control of
this road was about to pass into the hands of
friends of the Baltimore and Ohio Company.
Mr. Nathaniel Thayer, ofBoston, who is one
of the largest stockholders in the Philadel-
phia, Wilmington and Baltimore Company,
has not been able to secure the controlling
number of shares ofstock which he contract
ed to deliver to the Baltimore and Ohio syn
dictate. The price Mr.. Thayer was to receive
was $40 per share, but the Pennsylvania
road went quietly to work and by offering

likelihood that that also will be transferred

The chief interest to the people of Hartford,
in all this railroad turmoil, is the considera-
ton of the effect it will have on the project
of building another through railroad, passing
through and developing one of the finest sec
tons of our county. 1t is probable that the
Pennsylvania road will continue to allow its
rival some privileges for its through traffic,
but it is not likely that harmony can long
continue to exist between them.
The Baltimore and Ohio company may as
well make up their mind that if they intend
to compete for through traffic between the
South and New York they must have control
of an independent line.
The Baltimore Sun says
What will be the ultimate effects of this
transaction cannot yet be determined, but it
may be assumed for certain that the charter
which Col. McCOmb lately obtained for the
Delaware and Western Railroad extension
from the Delaware Legislature, with n view
toanother line between Baltimore and Phila-
delphia, is considerably more valuable than
it was few days ago.

comes around the dog may be seen trotting
along Main street at about 11:30 with the
basket in its mouth looking neither to the
right or left, but going straight to the store,
where he sets it down and watches it till
his mistress comes forit. And he is so well
known, too, among the Norwich dogs that he
is never molested. But on Monday as a

Ore Who Might Have Stepped Out Of a

Western towns are most sf.en deficient

Santa Fe possesses citizen who might

came strolling into The post Office the
other morning, both hands Id his pockets
and his elbows sweeping a clear space
through the gathered idlers. AS town
celebrity everyone knows him and the least
Question will bring out more and more
piquant bits Of history. With unusual ia
terest I looked at the srrsn man and took
in the details of his costume. Top boots,
trousers, blue flannel shirt and d loose
coat we're ordinary enough, but his head
was sufHointed with gray sombrero that
in width Of 5rim has never been equaled
save by tElte ttetty chorus of "Pinafore" and
the PIRATES" Tie tiat sat back ON his head
until the brim covered Eis shoulders and
the cord and ornaments of the croWHj BE-
fna Of solid gold wire and spangles, brings

to S12O. Neithss kip3ee and Georgette,
Virot or the other co1iG6esors Of French

eaualled this sombre in price. He wore
careless knotted necktie and row of big
gt1a nusaets for shirt studs and below
them swung & Hatelsain composed of gold
coins ranging from tbs largest slugs and
$40 pieces down to an insignificant s2, 80
coin. The watch at the end of his chain
is heavy enough to use for weapon, with
its massive cases of gold. This walking
gold mine Eafriss OF all his magnifcence
with the most Indifferent and half contem-
tuous air. On occasion he is said to be
capable of even more gorgeousness; ana
when this show figure of Santa Fe is
mounted on little black horse, rafting
with all the silver and blazing with all the
rought colors of Mexican trappings, it is
eptugh to dazzle one. With huge silver
spurs, an embroidered buckskin suit, a
belt full of silver -Hounted weapons and a
fringed and embroidered blanket strapped
to the saddle, he slatters through these naf:
row s.ttrsets suite as the wild western heroes
do in novels. By profession he is gen.
