The Southern TranscOntinental
RnnrR

The Chicago Tribune Is indignant. but,
perhaps. rather alarmed. that great deal
Of freight. which is sent between san
Francisco and New York. goes over the
Southern Pacific and through New Or
leans. The Union Pacific discriminates
against those who use any portion OF the
water route and offers special rates TO
those who ship goods over the aH-rail
route.
Notwithstanding this discrimination.
which forbids the merchants u san Fran
cisco from using the free ocean, and
which compels them 70 pay all-rail rates
between New York and san Francisco.
the railroad avails itself Of the superior
cheapness Of water transportation. Thus,
saws the tribune. Il pretends 10 ship goods
from New York 10 san Francisco on the
au-rail route and gives bills OF lading on
that basis. but instead Of sending these
goods By the Central Pacific, they are in
stead diverted 10 the Southern Pacific,
aud instead Of going from New York or to
New York. a. the case may be. by rail,
they are shipped to New Orleans and 90
thence by steamer. Goods shipped from
an an ~ -AANtA-1- AA-A---AN ~ ~
sent by the Central Pacific, are similarly
shipped by the Southern Pacific via New
Orleans.
The railroads. ii appears. have discover
ed that they can ship goods more cheaply
from san Francisco 10 the East by WY
II New Orleans. and are making due Use
Of their discovery. That the general pub
lie VIII soon come 10 the same cOnclu-
sion i manifest. This promises well for
the Southern Pacific a. the coming
great transcOntinental freight route. This
recalls 10 mind the fact that the Climax
extension Of the Savannah, Florida and
Western. with the Pensacola and Allan
tic. and their westerly connections. afford
a continuous route from Fl PasO, the east
ern terminus Of the Southern Pacific, to
Savannah and the Atlantic coast cities.
The advantages Of the Southern transcOn-
tinental route for passenger traffic must
speedily commend themselves, and
for the reasons above given its share Of
the freight traffic must, ere long, become
large. Certain il is. at any rate, that 10
more important steps were ever taken in
Southern railway progress than the COM
pletion Of the Pensacola and Atlantic and
the Climax extension.

SALE OF A CELEBRATED TRACT OF
LAND.-R. Hyson, Esq, as for the
owners, sold ON Tuesday week the
large landed estate known as Round
Top" lying on Chester River, on the
Queen Anne's side near Chestertown,
to. DR.. Ford, of the Chester River
Steamboat Company, at private sale
for $44,550. This price includes the
landlords interest in the seeded crops.
The tract as purchased contains 1,013
acres, about 800 acres of which are in
peach trees. The Round Top tract is
celebrated as having been the site of
what was undoubtedly the largest
peach orchard, and perhaps the largest
orchard of any kind in the world. The
original tract contained about 100
acres, from 1000 to 1900 acres of which
were at one time in peaches, compris-
ing an orchard of from 100000 to 13O,
600 trees. Parnell, the noted Irish
leader, has brother in Georgia, who
owns a peach orchard covering 25C
acres. This was extensively comment
ed upon by the press a short time back
as being the largest peach orchard in
existence. 1t will be seen that the
Parnell orchard is smaller than the
present Round Top orchard, and thai
its size is trifing as compared with the
old orchard. Round Top in 1865 wa:
assessed for taxation purposes at SIS,
900, and its peach orchard, when in th'
height of its prosperity, cleared a

The Queens BOdyguard.

We hear from London of the death
of Queen Victorias famous gillie, or
personal attendant, John Brown. The
wonderful devotion of this plain, rough
man to his royal mistress, and her
Maiesty's wonderful kindliness of dis
position toward her Scotch gillie, have
been themes of London society for
many years. The Queens attachment
to John Brown runs back to the time
when she was the wife OF Prince
Albert, with whom Brown was favor
ite; and during all the years OF her
widowhood he has been the especial
guardian of her person. Whether she
was at Windsor Castle or Balmoral. or
at any other royal residences, whether
she was in her own kingdom or upon
the Continent, whether she was driv-
ing or walking or sailing, John Brown
was always near at hand. When the
Queen went out, he would see that she
was properly wrapped up; he would
assist her in putting on her cloak, and
if her Maiesty's shawl Glanced to slip,
he would see to its adjustment upon
the royal shoulders. Any faultfinding
of outsiders with John Brown, any
criticism of his ways, seemed only to
increase her attachment to him and
she did not scruple to offend any per-
sonage, however high, as proof of her
preference for him. 1t would not be
surprising to hear that his grief ovel
the fall of the Queen, few days ago
on the stairs of Windsor Castle, hac
something to do with his death. II
return for the devotion of her Scotch
Highland gillie, and as proof of her ap
probation of his courage and virtue
her Majesty showered favOrs of al
kinds upon him, and there is no doub
that her mourning over his loss will b.
serious indeed. A very genuine sort
man was this John Brown-an antiqu
kind of man, not often seen in thi
world nowadays.
