The two ends of the n. O. 4 n. +:
railroad were connected at West Pearl
River Monday the 18th inst. That was
the finishing touch upon great enter
prise worthy the great systems that es-
poused it year ago.
The first train over the line was
special with the following officers OF the
Erlanger system which left this city

Anew engine, 2O5, just received, pulled
the train down with engineer Murphy
in the cab. Conductor. Gayner, of the
N. @. l. N. Z. ran the train down.
They proceeded slowly down the line
making thorough inspection OF the
track and bridges as they went along
Spending the night at Purvis they re
sumed their journey of inspection Mon
day morning and steamed into the city

I o'clock, and will probably reach thu

PEARLS OF THOUHT.

The right of commanding is the fruit
of labors the price Of courage.
Man cannot dream himself into q
noble character; he must achieve 1t by
diligent effort.
If we find no fault ourselves, we
should not take pleasure in observing
those of others.
Those who have no patience Of theiI
own forget what demand they make on
that Of others.
There is no evil we canDot either face
or fiy from, but the consciousness Of
duty disregarded.
More helpful than all wisdom is one
draught Of simple human pity that wil
not forsake us.
Let friendship creep gently toa height
If it rush to it, il may soon run itsel

Arkansas Traveller.
An old squatter boarded train the
other day and sat with an air Of deep
concern, watching the conductor and
bFakemen. He noticed that when the
conductor pulled the rope the train stop
ped, and he did not understand how %
much power could Be attached to such
cord, but, determining not to exhibit
that quality which BE had 20 often
crushed--inquisitiveness--he remained
quiet. He looked out Of the window At
the whirling farm houses and fences
that seemed to be trying to keep up with
the train, and his hat blew of. Rising
from his seat he gave the bell cord Wig
orous pull, and the train soon came 10 a
standstill. The old fellow got of Snd
found his hat near the steps, where il
had been carried along by the motion Of
the train. When he re-entered the
coach the conductor was furious. He
pulled the bell cord as though he would
break it, and, turning to the old fellow,
demanded:
"what the mischief have you been do
ingg
Hope didn't break nutin'."
Il wish you had broken your head
and am a mind to put you OF, con-
found YOU"
"You ken confound me as much as
you please, mister, but I'll be dinged il
it wouldn't take good one to put me
of"
awhy did you ring that bell?"
"What made me jerk the clothes

"Your hats not worth 10 cents"
"Not to you, mister, because il aint

A gust of wind blew his hat off and il
fell into the river. :.
"Thary' he exclaimed. Blamed il

The conductor laughed. "How did sh'

can see that fish airter the hat, will you
Jes' look at himt"
The conductor looked out and the oil,
fellow tipped his hat over into the river,
"'Seuse haste and bad pen" he said
with a grin.
The conductor looked at him me
ment and said:
"What do you drink, old fellow
Everything stronger than water.
"Here is some fine brandy" and b
handed the old fellow half-pint tiasl
"Take a drink as a sympathizer OF mi

low and then the flask, but didn't s;
r anything.
