Mr.. Vanderbilt's Plans.

VIM. H. Vanderbilt has just placed
S330,000 of the bonds and stock of the
Pittsburgh, McKeesport and Yough-
iogheny road in Pittsburgh. The
road issued 50, 100000 of bonds and
the same amount Of stock and Van
derbilt took the whole issue of bot h.
1t is very desirable investment, as
the interest on the bonds is per
cent, and they are guaranteed by the
Lake Erie and Lake Shore roads.
Vanderbilt intended at first to keep
all of these securities, but as a favor
he agreed to part with $500. 900 worth
at par. Of the amount placed NJ. w.
Watson, DIR. Hostetter and d. Leet
Wilson each took 500, 900 worth. In
regard to Vanderbilt's purchase, it
turn out that Harry Oliver made a
much butter thing out of his sale of
Lake Erie stock than was at first re.
ported. He sold his own stock, of
which he had 1900 shares, at $500 in
stead of $3.50. which was. generally
supposed to be the selling price, and
his net profit was fully 100000.
The LOO shares which he sold as
agent for other parties went at $3.50.
There is point in connection with
the new Vanderbilt coal road which
is not publicly known. The trunk
line system, composed of the Lake
Shore, Lake Erie, South Pennsylya-
mia, Philadelphia and Reading and
New Jersey Central, is to be control
led by Vanderbilt, but the Baltimore
and Ohio road will be given a New
York outlet over it. This will be

which makes its reliability beyond q

General Kelly's Case.

Correspondence Wheeling Intelligencer.
WASHING TON, ID. c., Feb. 4.-Gen.
B. F. Kelly, late Superintendent of
the Hot Spring in Arkansas, is in the
city and will remain several weeks.
The Generals version of the late
removal from his position at Hot
Spring explains away much that has
heretofore been a mystery to many.
The cause public assigned for his dis
placement was that he was too old to
longer discharge the duties of the
place to the satisfaction of the powers
that be. The simple fact is that he
was a little "too old" for certain
contractors down there, and they
resolved upon his removal. They
commenced operations by hiring a
Democratic paper to support the Re-
publican nominee for Congress in the
Hot Springs District, the price paid
being $500. They then poisoned
the ears of the Washington authori-
ties with the story that General
Kelly had become a Democrat and
was damaging the Republican pros
poets in the State of Arkansas. They
induced the authorities to believe
that if a man they suggested. a citizen
of that State, were at once appoint
ed the Hot Springs District would go
Republican at the succeeding cleo
ton. Accordingly there was but little
delay. and less ceremony, in General
Kelly's removal. He claims that he
was unjustly dealt with. and his
friends here and in West Virginia.
where he will be kindly remembered
by the veteran corps unanimously
should at once take steps to see him
righted. General Golf is in the
city. and it is understood that he
will interview the President in Gen.
Kelly's behalf-not to have him re.
stored to the old position, but to have
him appointed to another equally as
good.

Stick to Your Business.

There is nothing which should he
more impressed upon the minds Of
young men than the importance of
steadily pursuing some one business.
The frequent changing from one bus
mess to another is one of the most
common errors committed, and to it
can be traced more than half the fail
ures, much of the discomfort and dis
appointment which render life un-
comfortable. It is a common thing
for man to be disappointed with
his business, and to desire to change
it for some other which it seems to
him will prove more lucrative one
but in nine cases out of ten it is mis-
take. Look around you and you will
find among your acquaintance album
dant Notifications of this assertion.
Take, for example, an honest farmer
who has toiled few years, got his
farm paid for, but does not grow rich
very rapidly, as much from lack of
coDtentment and industry, as any
thing, though he is not aware of 1t.
He hears the many wonderful stories
of the vast fortunes made in stock in
vestments, and how they may be had
for the trouble of picking them up.
He mortgages his farm to raise mon
ey, comes to the land Of the scalper,
and after many months of hard toll
and restless nights goes home again,
to commence at the bottom of the
hill, for more weary and less sue
cessful climbing up again. Mark the
men in every community who are
notorious for their ability and equally
notorious for never getting ahead,
and you will find them men who
never stick to any business, but al
ways forsake their occupation just
when it is beginning to be profitable.

Seeding to Clover.

I have heen farming for AZ years,

ing good field of clover every time.
If l want to seed down field of
wheat. I wait until the ground Is
settled in the spring and the hard
frosts have passed, then 1 SOW six
quarts of clover seed and four quarts
of timothy we'll mixed. follow by
narrowing it in and then roll the
ground. Then l sow 100 pounds of
plaster to the acre. If / seed with
oats SOW the same amount of seed,
but after the seed oats are dragged in.
/ omit the dragging after the clover
seed is sown, but Immediately put on
the roller, which is beneficial to both
oats and clover. then SOW heavily
of plaster-on light soil $50 pounds
per acre is not too much. The plas-
ter helps the oats on dry land FIVE
times its cost, and is what saves clover
in dry weather. Isow my seed mixed
so that if the clover does kill out, the
timothy will take its place. To get
good catch on sandy land that is
badly run, I have observed the above
rules and always get a splendid stand

baltimore Day.
We pointed out Immediately after
the election that We could not reason
ably expect to receive next year the
votes of all those who directly or indi-
rectly contributed to the success of our
candidates last year. Two or three
elections which have taken place since
demonstrate that the force of Repub-
lican Indignation against the pOliti-
clans of that party has spent itself,
and that many of those who voted
two months ago for Democratic can
didates or else abstained from voting
are now prompt to rally to the sup
port of any regular Republican nom
inee, with view of reversing. so far
as may be, their former action.

The danger of Democratic defeat
this year is a double one. If the ma
chine which has had organization and
discipline controls the primaries and
uISl1tCo btlC tIO tNDoOh
of 1881 and 1882 almost insures defeat.
If the engineers of the machines keeps
their hands off. and the party, after
making acceptable nominations, goes
into the fight in a loose, slip-shod
way, without organization or leader
ship, without plan of campaign, de-
feat is almost as certainly assured.

The coming campaign has already

excuses they may patch up. must go
staring them full in the face that they

Annapolis Republican,
There is no sentiment in the mat
ter-but the plainest and 'ruggedest
fact. A long term of successful power
in Maryland has gradually made us
careless of the methods by which such
power can be perpetuated and as
surd. The common enemy has crept
upon us like thief in the night, and
is contesting every point of our yam
tage ground. Unless we thoroughly
unite our dlsjOinted factions the next
November election will hand us over
to the Phiistines.

such extracts, but these are sufficient
to show that the displeasure of the

that must be productive of great good
