RAILROAD MAGNATES.
Some of their Peculiarities and Charac-
teriStiCs.
They Travel in State and are Wrapt in
Deep Mystery.

The coming of II party of railroad magnates
seems to stir up our wide-awuke t:l citizens in
Il singularly lively manner. Visions of new
railroads spring into existence, and anticipa-
lions become SO rich that imagination pic
lures the route of these Mcdases. enriched by
their very passage over the land.
These great men travel aS princes are sup

newspapers are kept in the dark as much as
possible. The truth is the railroad princes
don't like the newspapers even when they own
them they are afraid of thcm-like dangerous
weapons they are likry to go off and hurt some
one. They tolerate the poor pass-bcggng cor

1t seems that Brewster has had his
feelings as well as his shirt rutded A
few days ago he issued certain pompous
orders to his United States Marshals,
which, for obvious reasons, he wished
kept secret. The ubiquitous reporter,
however, got hold of them in some mys
FERROUS way or other-as is usual with
reporters-and much to Brewster's min
gled establishment and rage, he saw them
paraded in full in public print. Boiling
over with indignant and most undigni-
fed wrath the doublY ruffied Attor-
ney General of the United States
boldly charged Public Printer
Rounds with having allowed his secret
instructions to leak out. Rounds denied
the charge in language more forciole
than polite, at which Brewster fared up
and threatened Rounds with going right
straight to the White House and telling
Arthur on him. Rounds replied that he
could tell and be d - ashed, or words OF
similar significance. A subsequent in
vestigation, however, showed that the
leakage occurred in Brewster's own Of
fee. and so he concluded that he would
say nothing at all to 'Chet" about 1t.
Brewster's intention was to have kept
the public in entire ignorance concern
ing the duties of United States Marshals
on election day.

Italian custom house officers are akin
TO their reputed counterparts the world
over. Complaints of petty annoyances
are made in the English journals. One
party of British travellers were confined
in a room, and were forced to submit to
a personal search. They informed the
British Consul of the outrage, but he
told the sufferers that complaints of this
sort to him were daily occurrence, and
that no attention was paid to his remon-
strances. A package of pound or so
of tobacco cost this party eighty five
francs as a fine, and then the tobacco
was confscated. The German and Swiss
governments are reported TO have made
representations to the Italian authorities,
and it is thought that the zeal OF the
Italian officials will be relaxed.

On Friday evening. last an accident
came very near settling the Massachu-
sets Governorship, so far as Ben Butler
is concerned. He was on the steamer G..
L. Neither, and when within four miles
from Lawrence the steamer struck upon
a rock and stuck. A boat was brought
alongside and Butler and others took
places on it. The water was running
swiftly, and as soon as it was loaded the
current began to suck it under the coun-
ter of the steamer. In endeavoring to
push it clear the boat was partially
swAmped, aud each effort to right mat
tiers only made them worse. The current
was so swift that only very strong
swimmer could escape being drawn into
the rapids and whirled down the river a
mile or two before still water could be
reached. Fortunately the deck hands,
after much effort, succeeded in hauling
each man on board. Gen. Butler escap-
ing with banged hat and thorough
wetting. 1t is supposed that Butler did
not feel greatly alarmed, however. He
felt that the boat in which he was car
ried Caesar and his fortunes.
