one Of Uncle Rufus, stories.

Uncle Rufus Hatch gave, the other dag,
the following original definition of the posi-
ton occupied by the great railroad kings:
Do you know Jay Gould" he asked.
"Well, if you ever know him, when you
know him you will know more than you
now know, if you know him we'll. He told
me story once about an Irishman. 1t was
when there were packet boats on the Erie
canal. The Irishman offered to work his
passage to Buffalo, and they set him to
leading the horses that towed the boat. He
worked faithfully for two days, doing u
great deal of thinking. On the third day
he thought it out by the powers he
said, moight as well walk as work my
passage And walk he did, without even
thanking his employers. Now, do you
know" continued Uncle Rufus, II never
could get it out of my head that Gould was
captain Of that boat, and that Bill Wander
bilt was the Irishman who led the horses.
Vanderbilt seems to have just found out
that he might as we'll walk as work his pas
sage. think he means business. When
he sold out his $35, 000,0 600 of New York
Central, Canada Southern and Lake Shore,
and put the money in government bonds,
he laid his anchor to the windward and
made ready for a financial squall. It's easy
to say that Bill Vanderbilt don't know moth
ing, but Pm afraid that Gould will be sor.
rowfully mournful or mournfully sorry that
he kicked him out of tho Western Union
before he gets through with him."

.The City Hail Extension.

1t is asserted that the work on the City
Hall extension has been "slurred !" that It
has been delayed from the very beginning
by the failure of the contractors to forward
the necessary supplies. A few days ago it
was stated in TIE CRITIC that the work
upon the building had been stopped by a
strike of the hod-carricrs. The work was
resumed yesterday, but it was suspended at
p III. in order that the workmen might
go to work on a house in the First ward
for the erection of which Mr.. King, the
contractor of the brickwork for the City
Hall extension, is contractor. Mr.. King, ii
is understood, gave as a reason for the with
drawal of the worxmen that the stonema-
sons had not kept pace with his bricklayers,
and that he could do no more until they
had caught up with him. Our reporter
talked with the foreman of the stonecut-
tiers and stonelaycrs and he denied this and
said that the stonecutters and layers were
waiting for the bricklayers, instead of the
fact being rice rersd. Whether Architect
Clarke will pay any attention to this mat
ter Is food for speculation, but it is certain
that hundreds of people interested in til,
extension of the City Hall building will b.
heard with loud complaints if the work il
further neglected.

himself generally obnoxious, threatening
to clean out everybody and everything

diminutive fellow, was sent for to qucll the

Broom corn is likely at no distant day to
revolutionize the breadstuff supply of the
world. A process has been discovered by
which the finest and most delicious -four
can be made from the seed to the extent
of one half its weight, and leave the other
half valuable food for making beef and
milk. The average yield per acre is three
hundred bushels, and in many instances
five hundred bushels, or thirty thousand
haust the soiIas Indian corn, from the fact
that it feeds from the deeper SOIL aud as
Stimulates its food from cruder state. 1t
belongs to the same genus rs the sweet cane,
commonly known as sorghum, which as an
article of food is growing rapidly in public
esteem and from the seed of which a most
nutritious flour can be obtained.
