Miscellaneous Notes.

1t is stated in railroad circles that NJ. Knight,
general freight agent of the Wabash line, and J.
j. Rodgers, Of the Missouri Pacific, have re-
signed.
The Terre Haute car works have but forty
cars to build, then will probably shut down until
they secure new contracts.
The New Albany Ledger says D. w. Solliday,
president of the Narrow-gauge, has gone to
Lcayenworth, Cannelton and other points on
the line to arrange with the people to m
the work of raising local aid. Every town and
township on the line of the road is zealously in
favor of the Narrow-gauge.
An exchange says that elegant and expensive
bouquets are frequently dropped from the car
windows as trains are passing over the Ashta-
bula bridge-mementos from people who had a
friend go down in that dark abyss when the
bridge gave way while a passenger train was
passing over it, a few winters ago.
The Lehigh Valley railroad has a smaller pro-
portion of passenger traffi C, perhaps, than any
other considerable railroad in the country. Last
year the road carried twenty-five tons of freight
to one passenger. The year before the difference
was even greater, there being twenty-five and
three-fourths ton miles to one passenger mile.
A telegram from Philadelphia says the con
tractor for building the Souris & Rocky Noun
tain railway, states that the work will be rapidly
pushed as soon as spring opens. The road will
run from Winnipeg northwesterly through Bat
tleford to a point beyond Edmonton, in all about
1,050 miles. The company has been reorgan-
lied. and a land grant of 6, 400 acres per mile has
been obtained from the Government. Bonds of
the company amounting to 5000, 900 have been

The ELECTION MANAGER.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Jou rnaI:
While reading a book recently, entitled the
Impending Crisis of the South written a
short time prior to the 'late u-npleasantness,
came across the following paragraph, which
consider worthy of reproduction, as it strikes at
one of the greatest political evils of the day, and
one to which the honest press on the country
should turn its attention: ga man who has
nothing but political business to attend to, /
mean the management of elections, ought to be
Stunned by all honest men. If it were possible,
he should have the mark of Cain put upon him,
that he might be known as a plotter against
the welfare of his country" J. H. C~LAYPooL.

south competing lines are practically operated
as one. While this will not result in the break
ing up of the Chicago & Ohio river pool, it
will necessitate a Peadjustment of the
per cents. This traffic agreement is one
which viii doubtless result beneficially to both
roads, as rates will be better maintained and the
business of the two more expeditiously moved.
The c.. l., st. L. & G. will continue to operate
its Kankakee line as heretofore. Under the ar
r-angement the L., N. A. & c. gets to haul Indi-
annapolis, Cincinnati and Southeastern passenger
and freight traffic but III miles, but makes a
good point by getting all the Michigan City lum-
Der traffic, practically. The special aim of the
L., N A. & c.. people will now be to make the
Airline division a leading through route between
Indianapolis and northern Indiana. 1t
will be seen that the Big -Four,
in connection with the L., N. A. & c., Sc
cures an eighteen-mile shorter route between
Indianapolis and Chicago than their Kankakee
route gives them, and a ten-mile shorter line
than the c., st. L. & P, the new c., L., st. L.
& c., in connection with the L., N. A. & G.,
being 1S4 miles, while the c., st. L. 2. is 1874
miles.

Planning the Spring Work.

New YORK Evening Post.
If the mother or head of the house is a wise
woman, she will begin now to put the everyday
summer clothing in order. The stockings and
underwear should all be looked over, and be put
in wearing condition; then a little later the com
mon dresses may be made or be made over, and
so the hurry and worry that unfortunately often
attend the coming of spring, may, to some ex-
tent, be avoided. An honest woman confessed
not long ago, that, although the minister whose
church she attends, of which she is a member in
excellent standing, is not at all liked as
a preacher by many of his congregation,
she finds that he is doing her a great
deal of good. 81 always listen to the text and
the opening of the sermon, " she said, land after

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
An Ex-Postal Clerk IN Hrr. French.

All EAT OACHh Oh MY GAChNhA
To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal;
1t is with deep interest that l have watched
the proceedings of the French investigation, and
although my experience in the mail service was
hardly five months, / saw enough in that time
to satisfy me that there are no men in the gov
eminent employ, in this government
or in any other, VIII are so hard worked
as they are in Mr.. G. J. French's
division. For fear I might be classed with
those whom som are pleased to class
as ''soreheads," and my experience being
of so short duration, 1 did not deem it worth
while to go to the expense of going before the
commission to testify to what l / knew, and will
leave that for such old veterans as Cole, Kern,
and other familiar names, and whose testimony
L have read and can vouch for as truth from my
own personal knowledge. l want to say, in be-
half of the congressman and senators from this
State and Ohio, who, doubtless, recommended
the appointment of those postal clerks andagents,
that, with scarcely a single exception, they were
men who were capable of filing almost any posi-
ton in life. Among them were lawyers, doctors,
merchants and school teachers, and as a general
rule they were moral, honest, upright men,
many of whom | should regard as far superior
to Mr.. Frenchin a business capacity, and who, if
in his position, could certainly command the
respect of a majority of the men of whom they
had control. This cannot be said Of Mr.. French
l hardly ever heard a word spoken in his praise,
but many were the curses and denunciations.
Why he has held this position so long under the
circumstances is a mystery l cannot solve, and
has come as near making me lose faith in the
Republican party as anything that has trans
pired since the war. hope Justice will be done,
and the boys will have some one put over them
that will treat them right. G.. G. MEEKER.

A February Festival Among the Robins.

A February Festival Among the Robins.
To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Can the Journal ornithologist state whether
Feb. 26 is any great fete-day in bird c~irclesl
This morning, shortly after breakfast, a large
blackberry tree on our pavement was taken pos
session of by a literal swarm of robins, without
doubt numbering from seventy-fve to a hundred
birds. The bare branches of the tree, decorated
by their saucy, yellow-breasted forms, resembled
an exaggerated Christmas card, and we sighed
for the presence of a special artist" Some
topic of great interest was evidently under dis
cussion in this feathered congress, and the ex-
element seemed to be intense. The
whistling, chattering, fluttering from branch to
branch, circling in air only to return
again to the tree, were indeed beyond descrip-
ton; and also a rare treat to us, who feel highly
honored if but two or three robins patronize our
premises in summer time. Occasionally an en-
vious English sparrow would dart fearlessly into
the midst Of the gathering and bestow a vicious
tweak at the unsuspicious tail of some stately
robin, put a we'll administered, although dignified,
rap from the robins bill would soon send him fly
ing, thus establishing on a firm basis the valorous
reputation Of our domestic birds. AS / go to
press the convention is still in session, and the
air vocal and fairly alive with robins. Can Val
entine's day have been postponed on account of
the weather, or is it probable that we have been
privileged to witness a colony of robins on their
bridal tour! Such a visitation is unusual in our
experience, and comments from the bird editor
are solicited. PHOEBE.

An Important Trattie Agreement.

The higher officials of the Louisville, New Al
bany & Chicago, and the Cincinnati, Indianap-
oils, st. Louis & Chicago roads met at Cincin-
natl, yesterday, and entered into a very impor-
tant traffic agreement, which goes into effect
March l. Through this agreement the connection
Of the Chicago & indianapolis Airline with the
Cincinnati, Hamilton & indianapolis road is cut off
and the through day and sleeping coaches which
have for a few months past been hauled between
Cincinnati and Chicago over the c., III. & I. and
and L., N. A. & G. Airline, are taken off, and
will be hauled over the L., N. A. g. c..
to the Lafayette Junction, then over the
e., l., st. L.. d G. to and from Cincinnati,
making a two mile shorter route than the Chi
cago & indianapolis Air line, which was thirteen
miles shorter between Chicago and Indianapolis
than any other route. The Chicago & indianapolis
is practically abandoned as a through Chicago
line, but viii do all the Michigan City
business. All lumber shipped from that point
for Indianapolis, or points east, will be handled
over the Airline; if billed to Cincinnati,
or other points in the Southeast, it will be de-
livered at indianapolis to the c., l., ST. L. & c..
soad, and the L., N. A. & G. will deliver to the
c., L, st. I. & c. at Lafayette Junction only
lumber for points on the line west of Indi-
annapolis. All other classes of freight shipped
over the L., n. A g. c. from Chicago or points
south as far as Lafayette junction will be at the
latter point transferred to the G., l., st. L. &
c., to be forwarded to indianapolis, Cincinnati
and points beyond. The c., l., st. L. 81 G.. in
turn is to give the L., N. A. & G. the same num-

Nc TroubIes on the U. 81. H. settled.

A day or two before President Mackey, of the
Evansville g. Terre Haute, left for New York, it
is stated his engineers and fremen, whose wages
were cut a few days ago, marched in a body to
his Office and held a conference, acting very
gentlemanly yet using very positive language.
AS a result of the conference passenger engi-
neeTs, whose wages were cut from 50. so per trip
to So. 90, are hereafter to be paid So. 45 per trip.
Freight engineers who received $4.35 per trip

wages have been restored to within five cents

York, Buffalo & West Shore road. From Buff
falo the line reaches Pittsburg over the Buffalo,
Pittsburg & Western; then to reach the West it

Cincinnati via Parkersburg, over the Cincinnati,
Washington g. Baltimore road; Indianapolis, La
fayette and Peoria, over the Cincinnati, Indian
apolis, st. Louis & Chicago road; st. Louis and
