An Impending Crisis.
San Francisco Chronicle.


They were sitting on settee languidly, trying
to appear unconscious of the impending crisis
The conversation had gone like a beginner on
skates, slowly and slowly around the objective
point, and collapse was imminent. He had said
so much to her of an admiring kind that he felt
he could not go home without proposing to her,
unless he wished to show that the truth was not
in him. She had accepted his compliments with
the sincerity which is so exasperating in firta-
ton. There had been pause. Her hand, loose
ly grasping her fan, lay in simple beauty ON the
rose pink of her dress.
''What beautiful hand!" said he laying one
finger accidentally on the soft width skin Of the
significant finger.
''What beautiful ring!" said she touching his
finger.
He took the ring impulsively, wished it on and
kissed it,
'And must not take it OFF, she murmured
mot for three months, dearest"
Il guess that will be quite long enough any
way" and somehow both of them wished it off
again.

Views of the Hon. j. III. Devereux Upon
Several Important Questions.


In social talk with General j. H. Devereux
president of the Decline system, answers were
given to several questions which it will not be a
breach of confidence to publish, ard are points
of interest. Regarding the system with which
he is directly connected he said their road bed and
equipments were now, in the MAN. in excellent
condition for business, and he really felt that
the present year was to hea more prosperous
one than the last, which was cruel one upon
q majority of the roads of the country In rela-
ton to the rumor that the Vanderbilt people
were about to gather in the West Shore road
he said the report is quite probable. In answer
to the question, will not some other
parties copy after the West Shore and build
another parallel roadl He said that is more
than can answer; possibly they may. This
is country of wonderful capabilities. In the
1873 panic it was a common remark, Well, this
panic has settled the question OF railroad build
ing for twenty five years to come yet thousands

been built since" When questioned regarding
the trunk line pool he was rather reticent but

A Curious Source for Fresh Water.

One of the hottest regions on the earth is
along the Persian Gulf, where little or no rain
falls. 1t is more uncomfortable from the fact
that at Bahrin the arid shore has no fresh water;

The Local Freight Agents Should Have the
Credit.

So apt are business men to carelessly remark
that Indianapolis would be all right if the roads
centering here would act as cleyerly in giving
rates on freight as did freight agents at other
railroad centers, it is with pleasure we note
that the Oliver Chilled Plow Works Company
mention as an important reason for removing
their works here that so much more reasonable
rates can be obtained. One of the divers re-
marked that they in many instances, could ship
their pillow points, etc, to Indianapolis and then
distribute them from here at lower rates than to
ship from South Bend direct. He went on to
say that Mansfield, o., was the distributing
point for Ohio, yet they were filling orders over
large portion of that State from the Indanap-
oils branch house, so much more satisfactory
rates could they get at indianapolis. In this
connection it is proper to say that the local
freight agents have in the last two years done
very creditable work in the way of reducing
rates in all directions. This has been done by
harmonizng the classification and equalizing
rates and has required good deal of hard work
which Indianapolis merchants have not fully

Complaint is often made by business men that
goods are not shipped over the roads ordered,
but by roundabout routes. Often this causes
much annoyance and trouble An instance was
mentioned yesterday which shows the results of
such practice An indianapolis house ordered,
some three weeks ago, a lot of leather from tan
ner in Bloomington, Ind, expressly stating that
he was in hurry for the goods and they must be
shipped over the L., N. A & G. to Greencastle
junction, then over the Vandalia Contrary to
order, it was shipped over 100 miles north of
Greencastle Junction, and the car on
which it was shipped was imbedded in the
snow in the vicinity of Monon at last accounts.
Finding this to be the case, some ten days ago
the order to the tanner at Bloomington was
duplicated, and the above circumstances were
mentioned and the shipper was instructed by
all means to ship the leather by the more direct
route; still the L., N. A. & c. took the property
without proposing to bring it in over the
L., N. A. g. C. line. Like the first ship
ment, it, too, is snow-bound in Northern Indiana.
What is the RESULT The house which ordered
the leather has notified the manufacturer that
hereafter they would purchase their leather at
Cincinnati, where goods were shipped as directed.

It seems now to be understood that
the President and heads of depart
ments will remove from office those
whose presence therein will cause
friction or embarrassment in the dis
charge Of the duties of such offices.
This means that the administration
proposes to retain no enemies in
office. The principle is right. No
man cares to supply his opponent
with ammunition which may be
turned against him. Those, however,
who faithfully and strictly attend to
the duties of their Office without

nent in opposing the administration
will doubtless be permitted to retain
their positions until their term shall
