Effect Of the Jersey Central Election o
Gigantic Railroad Combination.

Effect Of the Jersey Central Election On
Gigantic Railroad Combination.
FrJm the Philadelphia Times. June 26.
The election OF the GOwen-Garrett ticket as
directors Of the Jersey Central railway is an ad-
vanced step toward new railway line between
New York and Baltimore, and promises the
prompt prosecution of that important work
The Reading now has it's line from this city to
New York, and the Baltimore and Ohio has long
been seeking to extend its line northward to the
two great commercial and manufacturing cities
of the Union. Messrs. Gowen, Garrett and
Vanderbilt have now joined hands and possessed
the Jersey Central, and their purpose is uncOn-
cealed to make railway combination extending
from New York to the south by Baltimore and
W Washington. They will find many obstacles in
their path, but probably none so great as those
which have now been overcome.
The GOwen-Garrett-V anderbilt railway scheme
is one of grand proportions. 1t means north
ern outlet for the Baltimore and Ohio, and a
southern outlet for the Reading, by new line
from Philadelphia to Baltimore: an outlet for
the Reading from WilliamspOrt to the lakes by
the Pine creek route, and an outlet for the Read
ing to the west from the Cumberland valley
to the southern border counties.

PrOyident Rats.
From Chambers Journal.

from CnamDer6' JOURNAL.
Rats are very proyident, both for their own
benefit and the community's. Eggs, which
they have been known to carry from the garnet
to the cellar, and other tempting foods, instead
of being devoured Instantly, are stored away
for the hour Of need. A writer in the Quarterly
Reuiesc cites noteworthy instance of the far
seeing sagacity Of rats. A gentleman who fed
his own pointers noticed through hole in the
door that number of rats ate from the trough
with his dogs which did not attempt to modest
them. He resolved to shoot the intruders. so
when next he served out the food he kept the
dogs away. Not q rat came to taste, although
he could occasionally see them peerng outof their
holes, for 8 they were too web versed in human
nature to venture forth without the protection
Of their canine guard" When thu dogs were
let In, the rats Joined them and fed with them
as usual. The foreth0ught OF rats Is indeed
nrOyerbial; and 20 farff0m being careless or
selfish, these interesting little folks ere proved

In Vedic times, or, at all events, in the times

TeutOnic belief in a fish which created the
world. and which is on level with the Indian
creative boar, the Babylonian creative fish. the

when their interests are involved in eircum-

gambler. tries to control the unknown and the

Why They De It.

Nearly every girl gets married some time or
other That is what she exists for Half of her
early life Is spent in fixing the points of the we'd
dag. and the Young man in the case is of but
secondary importance. After the girl has de-
cidea that she Will some time be married. and
has poked fun at the wedding of every other
girl she ever knew, and has informed everybody
just how she win have matters arranged when
her turn comes, she is ready for the young man
to appear. She has variety OF tastes, too. and
there is no accounting for some Of them. Now
and then she is apparently contented to go to
church and have a minister tie the knot. But q
Proceeding like that is too tame by half and
frequently she goes mp in balloons, or down into
caves, or ascends high mountains, or gets mar
ried by telegraph. Sometimes, however. she
sat allowed to get married in just the way she
vonta Then she runs away.

The facts were these: When Ragbag lived I'D
in the country he knew a man by the name of
Bowers, who was sort of town fool Not that
he was such bilin ass, but he had a temper
quicker than a widows readiness to relate q
scandal, and he didn't care much at whom he
got mad. The boys used to tease the life out of
him, and when he got married they gave him q
serenade that would make a mule want 10 re-
cite the Lords prayer. Bowers couldn't stand
it. and moved out Of town, and the day he went
they got up procession Of antiques and horri-
bles and escorted his wagon-oad of furniture
to the next town, the music Of the march being
furnished by band Of fish-horns and by Bow
ers, who sat upon the wagon and blasphemed
atrociousy. Ragbag hadn't seen him for three
years. but the other day he recognized in q
well-dressed gentleman on School street
that same Bowers. He had heard that
Bowers had prospered and become rich and
he was glad to see him. He rushed up to him
and said: Blowers, old man, I'm glad to see
YOU The gentleman and a friend who was
walking with him stopped. Said Ragbag: I'm
drafted glad to see YOU. Haven't set eyes on
You since that day We got up the horribles and
ran you out OF town" Bowers friend looked
amazed and so did Bowers. Said he ''Sir, either
you're laboring under mistake or this is a de-
hberate insult" 'Why no il isn't" said Ragbag
Don't you remember mel I'm the fellow that
stole feather pillow from old Deacon Hackett's
mouse TO get feathers the time We tarred and
feathered your head" The friend began to
smoker and the addressed gentleman was furious.

+. Harcourt, banker. and If you'll wait till an
officer comes along, III have you taken to a
lunatic asylum" Ragbag was terribly mortified
at his mistake and swore he never saw two men
look so much alike, information which didn't
seem to please Mr.. Harcourt. though his friend
howled with laughter thereat. Ragbag begged
pardon and Mr.. Harcourt said he granted it,
But he didn't look as though he meant IL, and
Ragbag went home feeling very uncomfortable
and wouldn't speak Familiarity TO his wife till he
had asked If he was honored with her acquaint-
ance, and she replied that she knew him heap
better than she wished she did.
