Satisfying the Kickers.
Wan Street Neaos.

Last fall the stockholders of a certain
Western railroad were making such a
vigorous kick about the non-payment of
dividends, that the president felt his posi-
ton an embarrassing one. He finally
plucked up courage and decided on line
of conduct. The principal kickers were
informed that the outlook was more cheer
full than for years before, and were invited
to make a trip over the line on a certain
date.
st the time appointed a large gang
were packed into parlor cars and a run of
a hundred miles was made. Dinners,
suppers and hotel bills were all paid by
the railroad company, and everybody
came back perfectly satisfied.
'sWhy," said one, 81 counted over TWEEN
ty freight trains inside of go miles,"
'And every siding was full of them,"
added second.
Il tell you we are having all the
freight we can handIe!" proudly eX-
claimed third, and that ended all fur
Their kicking.
1t was only the other day that any of
them learned that the president borrowed
3I2 freight cars and had them placed
where they would do the most good that
day.

GORDON's FRUGALITY.
The Tanner of the SOudan's Disregard
of Filthy Lucre
London Telegraph.

A<oHOOit L6teyF0Db.
When the letter of the King of the Bel
gians reached Gordon, inviting him to
take charge of the Upper Congo and to
endeavor to eXtirpate slavery there, the
General was living ON the Mount of Olives,
studying day by day the topography of
the Holy Sepulchre. People may wonder
how, having made preparations for his
West African expedition, and being on
the point of starting for the Congo, he
could so suddenly alter his plans and set
forth for the Nile. The fact is that Cor
don despises preparations" and dispenses
with them. When, being returned to Lon
don from Brussels, he had an interview
before departing for Egypt with a friend
interested in his mission, conversation
of the following nature-if not in these
precise WOODSTOCK place:
ral?1
II have got what l always have. This
hat is good enough, and so are these
clothes. | shall start as L am; my boots
are quite strong"
''And how are you off for cash? You
must have some ready money"
"AE! l forgot it. Yes. | forgot that!
| had to borrow five and twenty pounds,
by the by, from the King of the BeIgians,
to get over here. OF course l must paw
this, and l shall want little more.''
HOW mucnE OuIQ one or TWO thou
sand pounds do, in notes and bills?v
"Oh, dear, no! A hundred pounds apiece
for myself and Stewart will be enough.
What on earth do we want more fOrf'
Thus the frugal hero departed, we be-
ieye, with no more than f400 in ready
money, but meeting an old and valued
Soudanese acquaintance in Cairo, who
was very poorly off, Gordon could not re-
sist the claims of ''auld lang syne'-even
when played the black keys-anQ lent
or gave his old African friend the greater
part of his travelling money. He has al
ways shown a similar contempt for that
which is the object of so many desires.
AT one time in his chequered life he pos
sessed, we believe, a sum OF $4,000, and
an intimate friend pressed him to place it
IN safety at proper interest. Gordon re-
piled he himself could take all due care
OF II, but the sum became reduced to e.
600 by secret charities and benefactions
within year, and six months after that
his friend discovered that only $50 re-
manned of the original amount. The rest
had gone to E'the poor and him that hath
no belper.''
1t might be thought that this generous
nature had for its background of support
robust and almost rude good health.
The contrary is strangely the case. Gen.
Gordon is martyr to some obscure form
of heart disease, which has compelled
him to relinquish the solace of smoking,
and ofttimes almost prOstrates him.

THE ROSS CRANK.
He Proposes a Railroad Direct to Europe
by Way of Alaska and China.

He Proposes Railroad Direct to Europe
by Way of Alaska and China.
Washington is the very paradise of
visionary people, says a Washington
special to the New York World, but no
scheme however visionary that has been
proposed here quite equals the plan of
Gen. George p. Ihrie, formerly of the
army. but who is now mining engineer
in Boston. He is here trying to get up a
company for the connection of the North
ern Pacific Railroad with Alaska. He
says that the mining regions and the fur
trade of the section to be opened up by
this proposed line will fully variants
construction. He also believes that q
system Of snow sheds can be devised by
which the tracks can be protected
from the heavy snOwtalls of the severe
winter. But Gen. Ihrie would not have
his line stop at Alaska. He says that tle
Russians are already beginning to
cross Siberia with railroads. 1t is only a
question of time when st. Petersburg will
be connected by rail with the coast at
Behring's Strait. China will in time have
a railroad line along the eastern coast
line. Gen. Ihrie would have huge ferry
boats connect at the narrowest point Of
Behring's Strait with the two railroad
lines when the water was open. Huge
sleds could be used in the winter. When
all this is brought about passengers car
take a Pullman through car for Europe
for at least six months in the year. Gel.
Ihrie believes the European traffic wOull
be very heavy. Many people do not go tO
Europe because of their fear of the dan
gers of the sea. The greater time required
for an all-rail journey to Europe would be
compensated by the variety of country
seen and the greater safety insured. All
rail to China would be possible under this
system. Gen. Ihrie believes that this rail-
way project is one of the certain things TO
occur in the next twenty-five years at any
rafp-
