A Mixed Crowd.

Th Austrian Empire is composed Of
quite a number of different national
tiles, among them Poles, Hungarians.
BOhemians and Croats, the character
istics of which are protrayed in the fol
lowing anecdote:-
Four Austrian soldiers were quar-
tered over night at the house of a peas
ant. In the morning after they had re-
sumed their march the Pole said:-
Comrades, that peasant has a very
fine watch.''
1--WE should have taken it along with
us, - observed the Hungarian
1--WE got the WATCH - sail the -Bo-
hemian.''
'You did have it, but I've got it
now" remarked the Croat, closing the
debate. He had already stolen it from
his iSiftings.

IRREGULAR HABITS OF TEXAN RIv-
ERs.-The Texan river is an institution
that is peculiarly Texan. In the south
ern portion of the State many of the
rivers and streams manage to get along
during the summer with very little
water. Near FL Paso it has frequently
occurred that the natives have had to
dig wells in the dry bed of the Rio
Grande in order to get drinking water
For many miles the river bed was as dry
as two volumes Of the Congressional
Record.
The writer had crossed the Neuces
river without knowing it. The dust
was so thick that he did not notice that
the road crossed the dry bed of the river
About two hours after I crossed the
Nueces river without knowing it, a IL
dal wave six feet high came rolling
down the river bed. Six hours after
ward the river bad risen thirty feet, and
before twenty-fOur hours had passed
away the river in some places was up
wards Of three miles wide. ard at the
place where 1 stirred up the dust the
raging waters were deep enough to float
the Great Eastern.
The Cibolo is a creek, between Aus
tin and Antonio, that for many miles
runs almost underground. It consists
of succession of pools. The water
sinks ont of sight and reappears a mile
or SO distant. The banks of tie Cibolo
are quite steep, and in some places are
forty or fifty feet, which makes it very
difficult for wagons to cross, especially
in wet weather
The San Antonio, ComaI. San Marcos.
Gnadalonpe. Brazos and Sabine rivers
donot become actually dry, but insum-
mer they dwindle away to almost moth
ing. The statement that the water gets
so shallow that the catfish have to stano
on their heads and fan themselves with
their tails to keep cool is exaggerated a
little.
The habit the Texan rivers have of
rising sixty feet in twenty-four hours
! makes the building of railroads very ex-
pensive in Texas. The bridges over the
apparently most insignificant streams
have to be built very high and of the
most durable material.
When stranger sees an immense
bridge over a small stream he is inclined
to suggest that the people sell the bridge
and buy some water to put in the creek /;
but after there has been rise it would
be more appropriate TO sell some water to
/ buy new bridge. - Teas ,Siftinqs.

Concerning Judge Agnew,s Opinion.


The opinion of Judge Agnew in re-
gard to the proposed sale of the South
Pennsylvania railroad to the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company is one of the
most important documents of the time
in its bearing upon railway operations
The high reputation Of the former Chief
Justice Of Pennsylvania entities his
opinion to great weight, and the rea-
sons which he gives for his conclusions
6re clear and strong. The principles
enunicated by Judge Agnew are of
broad application. for while he refers
especially to the provisions of the Penn
sylvania Constitution and laws. it is
observed that somewhat similar provi-
sions regarding the purchase or eonsoH-
dation of competing lines are to be
found in the Constitutions and laws of
many other States; and if, as the Judge
urges, such consolidation purchases are
contrary to public policy, the same prin-
clples may be enforced to some extent
in the absence of specific legal provi-
sion. The effect of this opinion is like
ly to be Immediately important. It
will clearly be used with great force bv
the opponents of the Vanderbilt Penn
sylvania plan, and it is likely TO inf1u-
ence the action of some of the stockhold-
ers. There seems to be some doubt
whether the contemplated transfer can
oe legally etteoted against such opposi.
tion. It would be curious If the Penn
sylyania part Of the bargain should fan
through, while the transfer of the West
Shore 20 Mr.. Vanderbilt's control should
be accomplished without serious diff
fculty or delay. But as the two trans
actions were originally in a measure de.
pendent on each other. it is at least pos.
5ible that q failure of the Pennsylvania
company 20 realize the benefits which il
expected from the arrangement might
result i'm greater opposition to Mr.. Van
derbIt's plan reEarding the New YorE
road. At The same time il may be al
important fact that parties interested il
the Reading railroad have determined
to proceed without delay TO the fore
closure, a movement which, If success
full, would entirely alter the relations
of the company both to the PennsyI
vania and TO the Baltimore and Ohio
and render Mr.. VanderSilt's interest il
the Reading Of no practical use.-Ne,
