A Railroad to Pennsville.

A correspondent Of the South Jerseyman,
writing from Psnneville, village across
the river from Nav Castle, says: "Ths
residents Of this township-and all others
conoerned-were requested to meet at
the hotel Of Jacob Acton, on last SAtur.
day evening, to discuss the subject Of
having the Delaware River railroad ex-
tended from Pennsgrove to Pennsville.
Only very short notice of the meeting
WAS given, nevertheless, quite large
number Of prominent residents Of the
township turned out, and took great
interest in the meeting. In or6er to get
at the feeling of the people relative to
the matter vote was taken, road or no
road, and the peoplevoted unanimously for
the road. The meeting was not COM
posed Of the mere curious, most of those
present being freeholders and men who
meant bush ess. Nearly every man pre-.
sent, pledged himself to take stock in the
road. The meeting was called at the
request of the president Of the road. A
committee Of three, William Newell,
Jonathan 7. Turner and Charles Dunn,
have been appointed to meet. and consult
with the president, on next Friday al
Pennsgrove. Other meetings will soor
follow. We predict that within = yeal
Pennsville will have railroad"

Two Rich Feet.

Before the Hale & Norcross fight
came on-this is tradition almost
there arrived in town dissipated
miner who had worked in the mine.
He was pretty badly down apparently,
but he went into brokers' office, and
after being told to get out as q tramp,
he said he thought good deal of Hale
& Norcross and wanted to invest q
tritling sum in it. Two feet, at $175.
were bought for him, and he gave the
certificate to the broker, saying that he
was going down to Mexico prospecting.
and he would like to Ieave it behind TO
be dealt with as the broker saw fit. He
was not heard of for months. Hale &
Norcross was up to $4,000 foot. One
morning the broker found the dilapi-
dated miner on his doorstep when he
came down to business. The miner
rose and said:
"Well. I'm here. Thought I'd come
| and see you. | s'pose their amt moth
ing left O. that Hale G. Norcross.
guess you must a sold it out, but I'm
down an l amt got cent. Maybe
you'd lend me four bits to get a break
fastp"
The broker looked at him and gave
him S. to 60 and get bath and y
breakfast, and presently he returned.
''Sit down and wait 4 minute I'll
make up your account presently" He
left the dilapidated man OH the edge
Of chair. He came back with check
and sent his clerk down 10 the bank.
The clerk returned with big bag of
gold. The poor devil watched the pro-
ceedings with miserable Indifference.
The gold was all stacked upon the
counter.
"Look here. I've sold your two feet
OF Hale & Norcross for $25,0OO, and
here's your money"
The miner fell on the floor and cried
like baby. He could not read or
write, and had no idea what the market
was. He sent draft of $4,000 to his
mother. The broker bought for him
$22, 900 worth of registered bonds, aud
gave him $2,4O0 in con, which he
spent in three days. Two bunko men
brought him in drunk and tried to get
his bonds, but the broker drove them
out, and when the man got sober he
came and had the bonds sewed in his
clothes, and was dispatched East. He
has never been heard OF sincc.-San

Colonel E. G. Cooper has told the
Denver NeWs of hairbreadth escape
he had from death in the jaws of
Colorado mountain lion. He was skat-
ing on lake near his gold mine, and
the lion sprang for him. There was a
chase for some miles, the Colonel oc-
casionally getting the best of the lion
by making sudden curve. At length
one skate began to loosen, and he felt
that the supreme moment was at hand.
He had heard that music might soothe
brute, and he began to sing; but this
enraged the lion, and, bethinking HIM
self of a rival newspaper he had in his
pocket, he drew il forth and read the
lion TO sleep.

English as She Is Spokc.

Great are the capabilities of the En-
glish language. A wayfaring Indian
apolis man in search of q cigar went
into grocery store in very small
and rural village, not two hundred
miles from this city. The young wo-
man presiding produced o box con-
tanning the desired articles, and when
asked the price thereof gave voice to
the following mystical language:
"Them there's two-fers.'
"Two-ters!'' repeated the bewildered
indianapolis man. "What in the name
Of sense is q two-ferp'"
why, two fer a Nickel replied the
young woman, with an air of disgusted
astonishment at some folks ignorance.
"Oh, l see," said the enlightened
Hoosier. "Well, if you have any 'one-
fers, let me have look at them."

made, and the wayfaring man with

They Fell.

Two delegates To the Grand Convo-
cation Of the Sons of Ice Water were
sitting in the lobby of the Windsor, in
the city Of Denver. not long ago,
strangers to each other and TO ever
body else. One came from Huerferno
county and the other was n delegate
from the Ice Water Encampment of
Correjos county.
From the beautiful billiard hall came
the sharp rattle of ivory balls, and in
the bar-room there was a glitter of
electric light, cut glass and French
plate mirrors. Out of the door came
the merry laughter of the giddy throng,
favored with fragrant Havana smoke
and the delicate odor of lemon and
mirth and pine apple and cognac.
The delegate IRON Correjos felt lone
ly, and he turned to the Ice Water
representative from Huerferno:
THAT was bold and fearless speech
you made this afternoon on the demon
rum at the convocation."
Think SOP" said the sad Huerferno
man.
"Yes. you entered into tho descrip-
tion of runs maniac till could Almost
see the red-eyed centipedes and tropi-
cal hornets in the air. How could you
describe the jimjams so graphicallyP"

'How long ago?"
"Week ago day after tomorrow.

"Ain't it funnyP"
"Tolcrable.
''It's going to be long, cold winter;
don't you think soP''
Yes, dread it a good deal"
"It's comfort, though, to know
that YOU never will touch, rum again"
''Yes, l am glad in my heart to-
night that am free from it. l shall
never touch rum again"
When he said this he looked up at
the other delegate, and they looked
into each others eyes earnestly as
though each would read the others
soul. Then the Hueferno man said:
I'm fact, l never did care much for
rum"
Then there was long pause.
Finally the Correjos man ventured:
DO You have to use an antitode to
cure the thirst?'
''Yes, I've had 10 rely on that
good deal at first. Probably this vain
yearning that now feel in the pit of
the bosom will disappear after awhile"
Have you got any antidote with
youp"
Yes, I've got some up in 232 1-2.
If you'll ii come up I'll give You dose"
There no rum in it, is there?'
No"
Then they went up the elevator.
They did not get down to breakfast
but at dinner they stole in. The man
from Huerferno lodged nervously
through the archway leading to the
dining-room as though he had doubts
about getting through so small space
with his augmented head, and the man
from Correjos looked like one who had
wept his eyes almost blind over the
woe that rum has wrought in our fair
land.
When the waiter asked the delegate
from Correjos for his dessert order,
the red-nosed Son of Ice Water said:
Bring me cup of tea, some pudding
without wine sauce, and piece of
mince pie. You may also bring me Il
cork-screw, if you please, to pull the
brandy out of the mince pie with"
Then the two reformed drunkards
looked at each other and laughed q
hoarse, bitter and joyous laugh.
At the afternoon session of the Sons
of Ice Water the Huerferno delegate
couldn't get his regalia over his head.

mourning, mother and daughter have
been picking lint. A little packet Of
letters lie on the table, and low sobs
burst now and then from Maude.
There lies her own letter. worn and
yellow and old. 1t was found in his
breast, and sent home with lock Of
his chestnut hair, accompanied by a
letter from his Colonel-full Of bitter
grief for the young officer whom every.
one had loved, the steadiest. the best,
the bravest, the most jealous, whose
influence had raised the whole tone of
his command.
"Maude--Tell Maude / owe all to her

words he uttered before he was laid in
soldiers grave.
See, the shadows are stirring again,

my eyes got accustomed to the gloom.

crossed on her breast. Round her

them who has not wept bitter tears that
SO soon they should see her face no
more.

light poured over the picture, which
disappeared in a golden glow.

Her robes were as white as snow, her
golden hair fell like Il halo around her,

"The reward of their labor. Pray

The sweet vision passed away, and
was left sitting in my chair with the
black wall opposite to me, and the EN-.
