From the Duluth & Iron Range.


Railroad Commissioners Becker and
Baker returned yesterday from an official
trip over the Duluth & Iron Range railroad.
Gen. Becker says the road, sixty-eght
miles in extent, running from Two Harbors
on the shore of Lake Superior to Tower at
structed and best equipped of any road he
ever travelled over. The equipment of the
road applies only to the freight department,
as the passenger travel is very light, the
main business being the carrying of iron
ore from the mines at Tower to Two Har-
bors- The commissioners speak in the most
glowing terms of the wonderful resources
of the country and especially the mines at
Tower. Over 1, 100 men are employed in
the mines and this year over 500, 600 tons of
ore have been taken from them, shipped
over the road and taken to Cleveland and
Pittsburg by the way of the lakes. Tower.
the terminal point of the road, has popu-
lation OF 5000, and in speaking of the great
development, Gen. Becker said it was
a surprise to him and he always
prided himself upon being well posted. A
road is being built along the shore of Lake
Superior, from Two Harbors to Duluth,
and it is expected will be opened by Oct. 1.
AS soon as this is done the Duluth & Iron
Range road will continue their road north
from Vermillian lake to the Ontario line a
distance of seventy miles, where it will be
connected with proposed branch of the
Canadian Pacific. AS soon as this is done
connection by rail will be established from
Duluth to Montreal

A Remarkable Dinner.

There was unique dinner given the
other evening at Delmonico's to some
Is of the Cora Pearls Of New York
elegant, lazy, luxurious creatures, who
were born to hutter in the golden sun
light and perish in the ditch. The
feast was spread by a gentleman who
is identified with our ferries and rail-
roads-ths inhsritor of millions from
father who never expended dollar
in luxury. Hand-psinted cards, with
the assumed name of each dainty fel-
low upon them, fanked by exquisite
little boutonnieres, were a feature in
the table adornment, and under each
plate was valuable ring-the stone
being selected to correspond with the
wearer's particular style Of beauty.
1t was notable banquet, marked by
a little too much style, an over scented
atmosphere, and luxurious laziness
which spoke volumes for the reason
why the crop of Cora Pearls never di-
minishes. Laziness has more to 60
with it than passion, and a love of
luxury is another cogent factor in the
problem.

Six Pairs of Dromios

There are six pairs of dromios IN
Washington this winter, and the Curl
Gus mistakes which are daily occur
ring are the gossip Of society and the
hotels. Tom Reed, the leader of the
Republican side Of the House, has
counterpart in the leading photograph
er of Washington, and the joke of it is
that the general air and the voices OF
the two are precisely alike. The 9TH
er night Stanley Matthews and fel-
low Congressman OF Reeds saw this
photographer at the theatre, and took
him for Reed. They went over to him
and addressed him, bnt he knew no
thing of the subjects upon which they
asked to be posted, and it was some
time before they discovered they were
interviewing the wrong man. Two
ether dromios are Wellborn, of Texas,
and the frowsy headed fellow who
writes cards in the lobby of the House.
Wellborn has been taken for the card
writer time and again, and he grows
angry, il is said, every time such mis-
takes occur. The Likeness of Cav, the
sugar millionaire Of Louisiana, to SEN
ator Sherman, ia very striking, and
Cleveland and Manning are sometimes
taken for one another. | have told
you stories of how O'Donnsll, of Mich,
igan, has been mixed up time and a.
gain with Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Stevenson, and there is an ex-
member of the Pennsylvania Legisls-
ture in Washington, who is noted for
having sold his railroad pass for an
overc at, who looks exactly like the
angular objector, Holman, OF Indiana.

Noses and Ears.

With the astroiogers a large nose
was always a sign Of much character
of some kind, but was determined by
other characteristic marks. A Roman
nose was sign of courageous temper
and disposition to face and overcome
difficulties. while more strongly
aquiline nos. was an Indication of ra-
"acity; the idea being evidently bor-
rowed from the similarity of this des-
cription of beak to that Of the eagle,
the most rapacious OF birds. The snub
nose showed little character but much
temper, while the Greek nose, even,
straight and regular, was a sign Of the
temperament Of the owner. Large
nostrils indicate good lungs health
and long life, while swelling nostrils
showed warlike spirit and fire A
very sharp nose was considered an in
dication Of a busybody, while blunt
ness at the end of this member was an
outward sign of the possessor's mental
lack Of acuteness. Large ears were
always bad, the similarity between
their owner and the donkey being sup
posed to extend further than the ears,
while small ears were always good
The lobe of the ear passing insenslbly
into the cheek was sure sign Of a
thief and liar, while an exceedingly
sharp division between the two indi-
Gated honesty and candor. Thick ears
meant thick brains, while thin, deli
cate ears declared their posessor to be
a man Of refined intelligence.

=sItcf Reaoing,
T0oIn bs at Bull-Run.

General Toombs, our Georgia fire.
eater, was given to criticising pretty
severely all the officers of the regular
army who had joined their fortunes
with those Of TIE Confederacy. He
WAS hot blooded and inpatient and
chaied at the delays Of the command
ers in their preparations for battle
His general idea was that the troops
went out To fight, and lie thought they
should he allowed to 60 at it at once.
An incident that occurred in the sec
ond Manassas campaign will serve to
illustrate his characteristic hot head
edncsS. rs we were preparing to 60
across the Eapidan, Stuart sent me
word that he had cut off large cav
airy force and had all the fords guard
ed except one. He asked that detail
a force to guard that point If escape.
The work was assigned to the com
mand under Gen. T-ombs, who was
absent at the time.
He had met kindred spirit in the
person Of "a wealthy \IrGinlan named
Morton, whom he had known in Coh
grcss, and was out dining with him.
They were both good livers and loved
70 hasa their friends with them. In
going back to his command General
Ioombs came upon his troops on the
road and inquired what they were do
ing there. The explanation was made.
To0mbs had had a good dinner and
frft ind pendent. He said he would
give the general to understand thai be
must consult him before sending his
lroops out to guard ford, and a.
once ordered them back to camp. AS
the mysi!ii5d troops marched solemnly
bsck the matter was reported to me,
and ordered Toombs under arrest

maud IS We march. d against Pope and
expected that he would make some ex
pianation Of his conduct.
lie did not do So, and the next
heard of him he was stopping along
the route making stump speeches to
the troops and referring in anything
but complimentary terms to the com.
mauder of bis division. | sent him
