traces of refinement, is now working as a
hostler at of the hotels at New

was taken in through compassion. He is the
nephew of Edward Everett, the great genius and
statesman, and at one time his uncles secre-

GOOD MANAGEMENT--The remark
able feat in railroading Of carrying
$4,000 passengers into the city of
Washington in less than SO hours,
was accomplished by the b. d O..
during the Inauguration week. That
this was all accomplished without an
accident; without single wreck,
collision, or the loss of a life or limb,
was due to the superior generalship
of Supt. w. NJ Clements, who, with
his large experience, quick discern
ment and accurate judgment, took
command in person, and was here,
there and everywhere at the same
time directing the movements. When
we reflect that it required probably as
many as fifty trains to do this work,
the magnitude of the undertaking
will be understood. Mr.. Clements
congratulates his men, and the gen.
eral public congratulates him.
