ELAINE's BUSINESS ASSOCIATE.

A New York correspondent o.
the Cincinnati Inquirer says: /
inquired what Mr.. Blaine's er-
rand in Ohio was to-day, where
be has gone with Mr.. Elkins.
The general idea is that he is
seeking to get railroad connection
with his Piedmont and Fairfax
Stone Railroad. The small be.
ginnings Of fortune are traced in
this anecdote.- About twelve years
ago a young man named Stephen
B. Elkins was sent to Congress
as Delegate to New Mexico. He
was blushing and ambitious
Blaine, the Speaker, paid SO
mnch more courtesy to his wishes
than he expected that the young
man fell in love with him. Soon
afterward Elkins, being a young
widower, began to court
daughter of Senator Henry Davis
of West Virginia. He heard
Davis talk of coal lands near by.
0Elkins looked into the matter
and began to buy also. He drew
Blaine into the purchase. This
turned Blaine's attention to Vir-
GINA railroads, aud he became a
purchaser Of the old James River
Canal and organizer of a railroad
on its bed. This yielded him a
handsome fortune of itself.
Meantime mining in Colorado
leaped up, and Elkins went into
it with Mr.. Chaffee, his old ASSOC
ciate iu the sale of the Maxwell
Mexican grant, which was the
common basis of their wealth.
They both liked Blaine; he
planked up his money and came
out ahead there, too. He was
backed up for the Presidency by
these two men both times. Now
Elkins aud Blaine are looking for
large extensions of the railroad
they have developed from Senator
Davis coal fields. Both Blaine
aud ConklIng are, therefore, hard
in pursuit of fcrtune-both we'll
advertised, both glutted with sue
cess and starved with disappoint>
ment; and of such is not the king
dom of heaven. But Elkins has
several fine children by that girl
he went counting among the coal
lands.

electricity passing through the
car couplings, the only difference
being diminuition of velocity,
owing to the additional weight.
The length of the route run
over on the trial trip is about
three miles, portion OF the dis
lance being up hill, an inclination
OF to e degrees. A car can be
run up this grade at the rate of
from fifteen to twenty miles an
hour, while on level it will make
thirty miles to the hour. After
having thoroughly tested the
working of the railway, visitors

RERalN.s ELECTRlC RAILWAY.

A Berlin correspondent, describ-
ing the new electric railway there,
says that the system, which has
been in use in Berlin for more
than a year, has not proved a f.
nancial success. It has also been
found that there is some incon-
venience attending the transmits
sion Of the electric current through
the rails. A horse, while crossing
this line, striking it with his shoe.
received a severe shock. 1t is
impossible, moreover, to repair or
remove the rails without causing
suspension on traffic over the
center route, since such removal
Interrupts the current. Herr Sic
mems, to meet these and other OBJ
iections, devised his new system,
which is far more practicable than
the first. Over the entire line
two cables are suspended parallel
to and about IL inches from each
other on poles approximately Is
feet above the ground. Along
these cables q system OF wheels
| passes, connecting with the tram
car by another cable, which can be
| detached from the car at pleasure.
The cables are charged with
electricity, which 10 generated at
. station about the middle OF the
route, and which is taken up By
the apparatus a. it runs over them.
1t then passes through the con-
uecting cable, down beneath the
tram car over . system OF drums
which unites with the running
gear. The apparatus passing
slong the suspended cables either
precedss or follows tho car. The

MISCELLANEO
THE CYCLONE.

IT'S peace on the breast
OF the blossoming West;
The plOwman plods
Through the yielding sods,
And the cattle Craze
Near the waivin9 maize,
And all is peace.
But bark! a moan,
Far out on the plain,
As of one in pain,
A single moan,
Just this alone.
Twas the lonely Groom
OF the startled loon
Or the moaning dove
From the maple above.
On through the sods
The plou2hman p.ods,
And the cattle Craze
Near the waving maize,
And all is peace.
But hark. Again
That moaning strain.
Now here, now there.
Everywhere
In ths air.
A thunderous roar
And the cyclone sweeps DER.
Sea ttering death
Der the blooming heath,
And leaving a track
Stark naked and black.

CONGRESSIONAL AMENlTlRs.a

Another Congressman from
Tennessee, named Mullins, dead
now poor fellow, was exceeding
ingly playful. He would dance
and kick up his heels in a very
!;ittenish manner, aud he had a
cheerful habit of hitting his fell
low members ii whacking blow or
the back when they least expected
it. Yet he was not unpopular
among his fellows, for he was
always good-natured, and he had
no idea his playfulness might be
offensive. But the funniest
thing Mullins ever Gid was on a
very mournful occasion. A Vir-
ginia member Il believe had peen
killed in a row by the Klu -klux
think. At any rate the funeral
orations were being pronounced
and more lies were being told
than usual on such occasions.
Finally Mullins time came, and
for him it was n great occasion,
and great use he made of it, If
you will believe me. 1t was the
most ridiculous speech ever made
in Congress Notwithstanding
the pail which hung over the
Chamber, the audience was con-
vulsed. One sentence of the ora
ton l remember and can never
forget Here it is. He referred,
of course, to the murdered Con-
gresham:
she has gone down to his
grave wrapped in the peaceful so.
liloquy of his own blood"
The House, at this burst of pa
thos. bnrst ont laughing, and its
members could net restrain them
selves. / believe j ohm McElhone
and some Of the members after
ward fixed up the speech IN de-
cent style.
Another eccentric fellow was
the Delegate from Idaho, three or
four Congresses back. 1t was
his pleasurable habit on warm
days during the sessions OF the
House to take q nap Back OF
the seats in the House, as every
body knows, are sofas, wide and
luxurious, placed at short inter
walls all around the Hall. The
honorable gentlman from Idaho
would begin his entertainment BY
noddiug in his seat. Then, more
asleep than awake, he would
shuttle to one of those sofas
First he would pull off on'
boot, then think over tia moment
and finally pull off the other one
Next he would unbutton hi
vest and unloose his cravat
Then to sleep aud to snore

board at a hotsl--a first class
