Tho Brandywine RaIlroad.

The Brandywine branch of the P, w. and
b. railroad has already become and old thing
to the residents of the Ninth ward, who
have become accustomed to seeing an occa-
sional locomotive dash across Market street
and along the north race. For long time
construction trains with material for build
ing the line have been run, but yesterday
the first freight over the road was received
by William Lea d. Sons Company, and con-
sisted of three cars of wheat, which were
unloaded through the new conyeyer. Their
new storehouse is being pushed to compile
ton, and the firm intend to put in another
siding from the new coal dump to the main

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE,
Nine Horses Burned An Stable Last
Night.

The stable Of the Harlan & Hollingswortl
Company, located in the midst OF theiI
numerous shops, was discovered on fire
shortly after 3 O'Clock last night. The
workmen in the boiler shop and others al
once brought the hose Of the company into
use and endeavored TO extinguish the flames
without the aid of the City Fire Depart
ment. This they were unable to do, and an
alarm was struck from box No. "a, the de.
partment responding promptly, although
much valuable time was lost in obtaining
entrance to the yard of the works. One OF
the gates ut least was kept shut against the
firemen, and their admission denied, watch
man stating that the fire was out.
Considerable delay was also experienced
IN getting into service, owing to the peculiar
location of the burning building After
some sharp work all danger was averted,
although II seemed for awhile almost i'm
possible to get the upper hand of the burn
Ing hay. Several times the flames burst
through the roof, but with a copious sup
ply OF water they were drowned out.
At the time the fire was first seen there
were II valuable draught horses, appraised
al about $500 each, in the building. Three
of them were rescued, but the others were
burned and smothered to death. One of
those saved will have to be killed. A con-
siderable quantity of hay, straw and feed.
10 sets of harness, two express wagons and
other articles were also consumed
The stable was of brick, two stories high,
30x45 feet. The walls may be saved, and
the work Of rebuilding will undoubtedly be
commenced at once. The loss will amount
TO fully $1,000, although 1t is almost impos-
sible to obtain any positive information on
that point or regarding the insurance. The
cause OF the fire appears to be a mystery, by
some being credited to spontaneous combus-
tion either from hay in the loft or compost
piled against the building. A representative
of the firm when questioned this morning
would neither furnish any information or
advance theory.
ANOTHER ALARM OF FIRE.
The department was called out about 4
O'Clock yesterday afternoon by the senseless
ringing of an alarm from box l6, caused by
the burning of kiln roof at Beggs & All
mond's new brick yard. The roof was con-
sumed, the loss being between 5000 and
$500. No water could be applied without
injury TO the bricks being burned.

Profits of Ocean Traffic.
Now York Bnlletin.

The Compagnie Transatlantique, in the
early part of the month, held general
meeting, at which the annual report was
presented, from which it appears that the
net profits for the fiscal year amounted to
1885, ,295 francs, and the net receipts for
freight and passage were As, ,969, ,497 francs.
The company carried 299, ,756 passengers and
COL ,S23 tons of merchandise. As the Medi-
terranean and Mexican lines are included
in the above, we have no criteria for esti-
mating the business of the New York aud
Havre branch. A new vessel of I 900 horse
power, the sNormandie,p is now almost
finished. The shipbuilding yards Of lie
Penhoet, near st. Nazaire, are now COM
pleted, and all the steamers that may be re-
quired for the company in the future viii be

Dealing with a Liar.

The only way to deal with a liar is to beat
him at his own game. That is, of course,
unless he is the editor of pious newspaper.
What started this item was reading about
an American who had been to Europe, and
who was telling a friend, who knew he was
a liar, about'his trip across the Atlantic, and
how ON the 25th of the month "they en-
countered swarm of locusts which carried
away every stitch of canvass off the Ship"
The listener looked thoughtful a moment,
and then said hesitatinglY: ,sYes, | guess
we met the same swarm of loeusts the next
day, the Goth. Every locust had on pair
of canvass pants" The first liar went
around a corner and kicked himself.

The Bag Of Pearls.

An Arab once lost his way in des
crt His provisions were soon eX-
hausted For two days and two nights
he had not IA mOrsel to eat. He began
to fear that he should die of hunger.
lie looked eagerly, but i'll vain, along
the level sand for some caravan of
travellers from whom he might beg
some bread. At last he came to Il
place where was little water in a
we'll. and around the wells mouth the
marks of an cnCampment. Some pe0-
pie had lately pitched their tents there,
and had gathered them up and gone
away again. The starving Arab looked
around in the hope of finding some
food that the travellers might have left
behind. After searching awhile, he
came upon little bag, tied at the
mouth, and full of something that felt
hard and round. He opened the bag
with great JOY, thinking it contained
either dates or nuts, and expecting
that with them he should be able to
satisfy his hunger. But as soon as he
saw what it contained, he threw it on
the ground, and cried out i'll despair,
ut is only pearls" He lay down i'll
the desert to die. Pearls are very
precious. If the man had been at
home, this bagful of pearls would have
made his fortune. lie would have re
ccived large sum of money for them
and would have been rich man. But
pearls could not feed him when he was
hungry. Although you have your
hOuse full of pearls, If yOu have not
bread you will die. The Arab knew
the value of the pearls found but he
would have given them all ut that mo-
ment for one morscl of bread-wOuld
have given them, but could not, for
there was no bread within his reach.
So. although he was very rich, he was
left to die of want. Pearls and gold
cannot preserve the life of the body,
far less can they satisfy the soul.
Bread is more precious To hungry
man than pearls and the bread of
life is more precious still. Christ has
expressly said, 81 am the bread of life"
How foolish it is to spend ourselves i'll
gathering things that cannot feed us If
we are hungry, and cannot save us
from our sin Seek first the kingdom
of God and his righteousness and
keep other things i'll :: lower place. The
chief thing for each of us is to make
Christ the life of our souls forever
and then we may gladly accept what
ever good things in this life God may
be pleased to give us. "What is a man
profited, if he gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul ~ He who is
rich when he comes to die, but Is still
without Christ for his soul, is like the
Arab in the desert, with his bagful of
pearls, but perishing for want of bread.
Rev VIM Aruot
He who cannot find time to consult
his Bible will one day find he has no

figures NAV be reduced each - if the
farmer OWNS teams and tools. Build

farm cost about so an acre. Dalrym-
ple's first crops have averaged - bush

have paid the whole expense of raising,
the cost of buildings, etc, and left a
little margin over.

creature. whilst watching the stage

believed to be host of her natural
foes in the very act of committing an
audacious trespass. With a wrathful
new she sprang upon her natural enc
mics, undaunted by their numbers, and
prepared to execute the greatest feat
of her useful life. No sooner, how
ever, had actual contact with her foes
convinced her of their real character
than she retired with consummate dig
dity. In obedience To an enthusiastic
recall she was brought upon the stage
in the arms of Il super To receive a we'll
deserved tribute of applause.
