Whv Mr.. Felton was CHOSEN.

Under this head the Cleveland Leader says:
''The selection of Mr. s. NJ. FELTON,. ir.. to fill
the office Of traffic manager of the Erie has occa
stoned some surprise and speculation. 1t is we'll
known that, besides being young man. his rail
road experience thus far has been confined ex-
clusively to the operating department.. That
would seemingly unit him for the management
of the traffic department, as he has had no
schooling that would make him familiar with its
details. Regarding this matter. q railway Off
cial, who is we'll competent to Judge, holds this
theory: Mr. FELTON, takes the place Of vice-presi-
dent and. AS implied by that title, he Is an adj
ministrative officer While the minor matters
pertaining TO the freight and passenger depart
ments are managed by assistants and clerks.
he directs the policy of the company IN regu-,
lating rates, etc. and Is the executive Of freight
and passenger affairs. The traffic agents of a
company, as q body, are shrewd and we'll
informed men, but lacking in steadiness and
harmony of action unless properly organized.
In their constant dealings with shippers, with
rates fixed on a sliding scale, they become
irregular and Unreliable unless they are kept
we'll IN control by the chief of the department..
He must, therefore, be man Of incisiye judg-
ment equable temperament, and strict disci
plinarian; and for the rest 1t does not signify
much whether he knows how freight bills are
made out or not. Mr.. FELTON, possesses these
essential qualifications, and Mr. King will find
that he has made a wise choice"

gone to New York to look after prominent po-
sition offered him on an Eastern road He left
Cleveland on Monday night, quite unexpectedly

was quite overcome, and, not having speech
prepared for the OCCASION. he could merely ex
press his thanks and heartfelt appreciation, re-
marking simply that he would always carry it
He then shook hands cordially with each one in
the group and got aboard the train, bearing with
him the well-wishes of all The presentation
was to have been made on Tuesday evening. but

| had some flowers sent to me lately
from friend in Sweden. They were in

have refreshed my heart. Not because,
in the first place, they were So very beau

not only because they were q friendly

little Howerets were the coun erparts of
the plants which the famous Capt. Mar

countryman, my friend. She had then
set to at once and painted the "FZoaUerS

ings multiplied, in order to sell them for
her institution for sick children. What
touched my heart so much was this, that

flowers, very little flowers, but very love-
ly ffowerets. The fowerets Of the heath

When in the sand-downs of Norderney |
plucked a tiny blade of grass, it has al
ways afterwards preached a sermon to
me. But these flowers out OF the snow
near the North Pole spoke to ne vet more
powerfully. They sounde1 a. ny ears a
song in praise Of the wondro power q
the eternal sun of grace, of the wonder
working love of Christ which, from the
most torpid heart, where everything
seems lost, can nevertheless awaken the
heavenly flowers of faith, of hope, and of
love, and there conjure up every beauti-
ful virtue, where formerly dwelt death

vii $3.50; Luke xiii: 39-43.) But God
be praised, he who writes this could tell
a long series of beautiful and touching
stories under the title of North Pole

high time to bring this endless chapter at

TEXAS CATTLE DRIVE TO THE
NORTH

In q recent report in repard to the
Grange and Ranch Cattle Business"
of the United States, by JOSEPH
NIMMo, chief of the National Bureau
of Statistics, appear some interesting
facts relative TO the Texas cattle drive
North. About 20 years ago this
drive became regular business, and
since some 100000 cattle have gone
over tho trail. In 1884 the drive
amounted to about 100000 head, while
some 625,000 beef cattle were shipped
direct to the markets of Kansas City,
st. Louis, Chicago and New Orleans.
This is certainly tremendous bust
ress.
MR.. NIMMo very accurately points
out the objections of tho Northern
meu to the trail or Texas drive, and
they place the Northern ranchmen In
no other light than that of pure and
unauthorized seltishness. Not on &C.
count OF the fear of disease do they OPP
pose the drive, but by reason Of the
fear of competition. They are pro-
pure and simple, anti
that the Texas cattle
shall be excluded from the Northern
ranges, In the interest Of Northern
men. II will be singular II Congress
should listen 70 such selfish argument
