sE- A conference between the officials
of the Washington and Western railroad
and those of the Baltimore, Cincinnati
and Western railroad, was held last week
in New York, in relation 10 the recent
sale of the former road 10 the latter, the
result of which, il is understood, places
the B. c. Il w. in possession of the Wash
ington and Western. lt will be remem-
bered that the Washington and Ohio rail-
road was sold under foreclosure of mort
gage sometime last winter, and was
bought in the interest of the Baltimore,
Cincinnati and Western. Some trouble
arose over check rendered in part pay
ment, and the road was ordered to be re-
sold. On the morning of the day of the
second sale, however, matters were ar
ranged so that Mr.. w. j. Best closed a
bargain for the road, again in the interest
of the B. &. q w. More trouble arose, a
Mr. Best, it is understood, declined ID de-
liver the road into the hands Of the b. c.
q W officials. Suit was threatened, and
then came the appointment for the meet
ing Of last week. Nothing definite is
known of the result, except that from pri-
vate sources the result is said to have been
favorable for The Baltimore, Cincinnati

BEAUREGARp AND THE kHEDIvE.-CoM-
MANp OF THE EGYPTIAN ARMY OFFERED
AND WITHpRAwN.-Ap paragraph appeared
recently 10 the effect that Gen. Beaure-
gard was in 1870 offered the command Of
the Egyptian army, but the tender was
withdrawn through the influence of Geo.
II. Butler, then United States consul ut
Alexandria. This was called TO the at
tenton of Gen. Beauregard, in New Or
leans. a few days ago. He said that he
had been rendered the command Of the
Egyptian army, and he had heard that
Consul Butler had interfered TO oppose
him. but he had no other information re-
garding that part Of the matter than hear
say. ''In 1866" says Gen. Beauregard,
ii was in London, where | had gone TO
arrange some business for the Jackson
Railroad, of which was president at that
time. | received 4 letter from the repre-
sentative of tie Roumanian government
residing at Paris asking me if were COM

would visit me in London, as he desired
to see me on important business. As l

effect. Shortly afterward | visited Paris,
and was rendered by the gentleman the
command of the armies Of Roumania. At
that time that country was Il principallty

The Eight of Days Long Past.

Our afternoon Of life has come,
Its darkening hours are here;
The evening shadows lengshen
And the night is drawing near.
To some the sky is bright, 10 some
With clouds is overcast,
But still upon our present smiles,
The light of days long past.
The autumn Of our life is here,
Its Summer flowers are dead,
The speeding day hath still its charm,
And young lips rosy red.
What though the river TO the sea
Run steadily and fast:
Upon its shifting waves still smiles
The light of days long past.
We meet here as we met Of old,
The songs thou used to sing,
And care and sorrow to the winds
Detiantly we fling.
Unchanged by time and circumstance,
Our MONDAY friendships last
And on our narrowing circles smile
The light of days long past.

TnE LATE GENERAL GARFIELD SAID TO

The New Orleans Democrat says
4 strange story comes 10 me from tho
death-bed of tire late President Gar
field. 1t is TO the etfec. that while yet
in bis full senses, but convinced that he
could Eot recover, be expressed not on
" regret but deep contrition for the
part which be had borne in deprivipg
President Tilden of the Office 10 which
he was elected in 1915 II will be re-
membcred that Mr. Garfield was one
of the "sisiiing statesmen" who thrust
themselves into the canvass of the vote
of Louisiana in that year, bringing out
'evidenee" OF ''bulldozing in some OF
ihe rural parishes, and in particular
that of an old colored woman whom
Mr. Garfield examined, mot" he said
las Judge but a lawyer 1t is now
related that. tcelin. that be could not
recover, tnat his death must take place
within a few days, he talked with his
attendants abou, bis public career as
VOL as his personal affairs.
1t is said, on authority that l have
no reason TO doubt. that he showed
himself sincerely periteut for the part
which he took in the great fraud OF
1876. He regarded that as the one
great stain upon bis public career, and
he made some reference 10 documents
which he felt sure would serve 10 mi,i-
gate the judgmeu, Of posteri,y upon
him. He expressed The greatest appre
hensiou that at no distant period an
aveuging Nemesis would visit upou his
party and friends a terrible revenge tor
that wrong. Those who listened TO
him were his personal aud political
friends; they regarded the words and
emotions of Garfield as the effect OF
physical weakness aud long suffering,
and agreed to be silent regarding them.
But in the quarrels that have arisen be-
tween the stalwarts and Lalt breeds they
have been repeated, aud are at length
the subject of discussion in private cir
cles. AT no distant day some author
lied publication on the sabject may DO

that il they had not done this they would
probably have lost the county seat. New
