The Northern PGcifc .iJter the CHINA Trade.
II is very well known that from the begin
ming the Northern aciilc managers, under
all the different administrations of that road,
have been calculating upon securing the i'm
mense China trade. No very open demon
STATIONS in that direction have ever been
made, and in fact the scheme was evidently
intended to be worked out secretly. That
the road is working for this business is be-
yond question. There is high author
ity for this, which is no less than
well known official of the road. He says
that more than three months ago the North
crn Pacific road sent u trusted and conf
denh / agent, In whose judgment and
prudence the al cou d rely, TO Hong Kong
10 see how much business could be diverted
from the Pacific Mail Steamship company,
provided an independent line should be es-
tablished to run to Portland or Puget Sound,
I'm connection with the Northern Pacific
road. The agent in due time returned,
and his report was laid be-
fore the directors, who
regarded Il rs so favorable that the necessary
capital was raised in London to establish the
line. II is understood that for the present
the con pauy will hire u number of ocean
vessels which WITH be secured TO do duty for
while till the line becomes fixture, and It is
asserted that the first cargo of tea will be
shipped early next month. 1t Is claimed
that the route TO New York, by the way of
Portland and St. Paul will be much the
shortest and that all tea trade must come by
the new route.

Purchase Of the PittsburD, Cleveland d
Toledo 6y the Baltimore DC ohio.

Toledo by the Baltimore &c ohio.
There was some truth after all in the story
that there was competition between the Balti-
more & Ohio and Vanderbilt interest for pos
session of the Pittsburg, Cleveland & Toledo
railroad, the Endorsement of whose paper
brought Commodore G. K. Garrison, The
Andrews Bros, Of Youngstown, and Mr..
Vim. McCrery, of Chicago, into unpleasant
financial complications, and resulted in the
first named gentleman making an assign
ment for the benefit of his creditors. 1t
is stated on the best of authority that the road
was offered to Mr.. Vanderbilt, and Mr.. W.
G. Quincy went over and inspected it at
the suggestion OF the Lake Shore people
The Baltimore ~ Ohio people, however, were
-EiGeawake, and, not desiring to lose SO Yalu-
able link in their western connections, i'm
mediately set about circumventng Mr. Van
derbilt. There was a long consultation in
this city Sunday last among the chief men of
the Pittsburg & Western Railroad Company
and representatives of the Baltimore 81 Ohio,
at which it is supposed the purchase of the
Pittsburg, Cleveland Il Toledo road was de
cded upon. At any rate, according to pri-
waite dispatch from Baltimore, the sale has
taken place, the Baltimore & Ohio being the
purchaser, and the papers have been signed
The terms of the sale have not been made
known.

UiIJ the WdbnSh DefnUt on It's Chicago
BOIidS?

BOIldS?
It is learned that the Wabash has not yet
paid its July interest ON the bonds of the
Chicago division. 1t could not be learned
whether a default in the payment Of the in
terst on these bonds viii be made, but fears
are expressed that the failure to pay the in
terest thus far means that such is the inten-
ton. 1t has all along been the opinion that
the interest of the Chicago bonds would
be paid, it having been the impression that
the Chicago Branch was the most profitable
of all the Wabash lines. What Gould's OBJ
iect eau be in defaulting, as is alleged, on
the Chicago bonds, and thus allowing the
Chicago division to revert back to the or
iginal bondholders, no one is able to under
stand, and the opinion prevails that the in
terest is being held back by Gould for some
reason or best known to himself and the
other Wabash magnates, and after he had
gained his object the interest on the Wabash
bonds will be paid.

THE RAILROADS.

Wabash and Missouri Pacific COntpttca-
cations
Just what the outcome is to be of the Wa
bash, st. Louis & Pacific road no one seems
able to state. There is movement on foot,
being operated by the stockholders, to sup
plant the receivers, Messrs. Tut and Hen
derson. These men, it is stated, were ap-
pointed at the instance of Jay Gould and the
Missouri Pacific road. 1t was thought that
its separation was wise move at the time,
but now it looks to them as if the whole al
fair was a sham and a fraud, that NJ segrega-
ton has taken place, and that the Wabash is
still run in the interest of the Missouri Pa
cific. The receivers have made several at
tempts to get general manager, but as yet
have failed to get railroad man of expert
ence to assume the duties of the post
under the existing state of affairs. The
stockholders claim that they will make
a move to GUST the receivers. The
Missouri Pacific has not paid its employees for
the month of June. They usually pay the
first of each month, but in June last its
treasurer at st. Louis was ordered to send
every dollar of the earnings of the road to
New York-it is thought to pay declared
dividend and interest on bonds. They say
they will pay the 18th; at least it is rumored
that they will. A number of the clerical force
have rendered their designations in order to
get their money. 1t is stated that unless
definite information is given them relative to
when they will be paid, a general strike will
take place in the clerical force of the road.
Yesterday the Hon. Thomas G. Reynolds,
for plaintiff, filed petition befor the Master
in Chancery asking permission for the re-
ceiver of the Missouri Pacigc to pay certain
claims, amounting to about $4,000. The
claims are for trackage and terminal facil-
ties, the payment of which works great
hardship upon the road. The petition claims
that the bills are honest and should be paid,
and the payment thereof will rebound to the
benefit Of the road.

To the Hon. Board of Education:
Your Committee on Real Estate beg leave
to report as follows:
We recommend that where old buildings
need repairs ON blaekbo ards, the patent i'm
proved B. B., made by the Am. Soapstone
Finish Co., be used. q
We recommend the Secretary be Instructed
to advertise for bids for furnishing electric
bells in the Neill, Rice. Sibley, Humbolt,
Jefferson and Adams schools.
Your committee are of the opinion that
the most satisfactory way to dispose of the
old Neill and Rice buildings will be by public
sale, and therefore recommend that the
Secretary be instructed to advertise for bids
at once.
Your Committee will make the annual
inspection of the school buildings very soon,
and ask that as soon as the repairs are deter
mined upon the Secretary shall advertise for
bids for such repairs as the committee shall
deem necessary.
Your committee have ordered the repairs
made to the roof of the High School Building,
and have also ordered sash locks to be put
windows in lower story.

How Jamie Hated Order.

When jamie came rushing in from.
play to supper, his mother was obliged
to speak TO him about hanging up his
hat; and when his hunger was satisfied,
and he started from the table, she said:
Jamie, do not leave your napkin like
that! Fold it, and put il in the ring.
Has my boy no sense of Order?''
mo, mamma" cried Jamie, rushing
back to do as his mother told him, II
hate order! It's always hindering and
interfering
Some people might say it was dis
order thai is always hindering and in
terfering. For instance, had you folded
your napkin at the proper time, you
would not have had to come back to do
it, said Mrs. Wright. She added: II
guess yosi love order as well as any of
us, if the truth were known"
mo, mamma, | Am sorry, but | pos
itivelv hate order. What | love is, to
fly my Kite to make boat and sail
it on the pond; and when it is dark, L
love to come in and see you, and eat
supper of huckleberries and milk, and
doughnuts; but just deSpise to be al
ways folding up, or hanging up, or
picking up something"
In emphasizing his views, Jamie
ierked the table-cloth, SO that baby's
tray and spoon went Gathering to the
floor. Then here were two more
things to pick up
'Stil,' said Mrs. Wright, al think
there are some kinds of order which you
like
Il am afraid not, mamma, not one"
"When you have played out doors
until the last minute, and you get into
the house Just rs the clock strikes one,
then do you mind dinner being all in
order?"
Jamie smiled; then he looked little
sober
Yesterday, when Uncle Charles
came to take you to ride with him. il
YOU could be ready in five minutes
Uncle Charles who is so elegant--theN
were YOU sorry to find clean collar, neck
tie, handkerchief. gloves, hat, all ready
to lay your hand ON them?h

school with holes in your jacket? Do
you hate when you 90 up stairs at night,
tired, to find bed made up comfort
able?"
Mamma, what do you meanp"
"Thst it is not order which you hate,
but the trouble necessary to gain it.
All, my boy! no one of us likes that;
but ought not each of us to take q part
of it? Or should papa or mamma or
grandma or Bridget do all the tiresome
picking up and fixing up, while Jamie
only enjoys itP"

mothers neck: Mamma, YOU are

20 to 100 bushels a day. As to profits,
have heard that several large cider
manufacturing establishments in this
State and in New Jersey have given up
their cider presses and have bought
evaporators. Representatives of these
companies inform me that out of 10000
bushels of apples less than $500, net,
was made in manufacturing cider.
while from the same quantity
of apples evaporated more than
$4,000 was realized. A New Jer-
sey farmer says that the profit on 100
baskets of peaches, pared, is 1886. That
is about a days work, and if the season
continues forty days the profit, by
simple process in arithmetic, amounts
to $1,440. The bulk of the business, SO
far, is in apples and peaches, but it
could be extended"
where is the business in apples and
peaches carried on with most vigorP'
peaches in New Jersey Delaware,
Maryland and Pennsylvania, and APP
Piles in New York, New England and
Canada"
''What other things are evaporatedP'
"Black and red raspberries, straw
berries, blackberries, cherries, grapes
sweet corn, potatoes, beans and pump
kins. Cabbage and celery are bleached
to a crispy white. The latest notion is
evaporating tinely-chopped vegetables
to be used in soups. see no reason
why a revolution should not be produced
in the trade in these common bulky vegc-
tables, the transportation of which costs
so much to city consumers. ~ l.

in her arms, till she finally stood safe
in the cupola.

about half an hour after, when the call

find Trip.
"Jennie," she said. looking into the
kitchen, "tell Trip it's nap-time."
'fShe isn't out here" said Jennie;
"and l haven't seen her for an hour, as
l knows of.
They looked cup stairs and down
stairs and in the lady's chamber, then
all over the shed, yard and barn, call
ing: "Trip! Tripl'' but, no Trip could
they find. Neitherof them once thought
of the cupola.
Jennie went one way to- the neigh
bors. and mamma she other: They sent
to the store for papa. and had half the
men and women, boys and girls, on the
street looking everywhere for Trip.
An anxious crowd stood IN the front
hall, all talking at once, advising and
suggesting. Somebody looked up, and
! there sat Trip on the upper stair, look
ing on with wondering eyes
"Why, Trip!" screamed mamma,
rushing up to her. ''Where have you
