jaw Gould and Brown.

When Jay Gould and his brother
capitalists 60 out on tour OF inspection
they are nearly bored to death by persons
who visit them at every place they stop.
AS q result, it is almost impossible to get
access to them when travelling, and persons
who want to see them about new railroads
are compelled to go to New York. About
two years ago. when Jay Gould, Russell
Sage and one OF two other capitalists were
out on tour Of inspection they stopped
two days in St. Louis. A number of per-
sons from different parts of the West came
there to see them. But Mr.. Gould and his
party remained close to their rooms, and
refused to receive visits from any one but
officials of the road and some of the leading
citizens of St. Louis. Among those who
had come to st. Louis to see him was q big,
burly fellow named Brown. Brown had
made considerable money by building a
road in Kansas through the aid Of county
subscriptions, and then selling it to the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa F'e. The
money he received for it he invested in
building road through the western tiers
of counties in Missouri. He built about
seyenty-five miles Of roadbed, when his
money gave out IIe was unable to raise q
cent more, and at the end Of sixty days, if
he did not raise money he would lose his
interest. The time was nearly UP for the
road to pass ont Of his control when Jay
Gould visited St. Louis. Brown went up
to the hotel but the clerk refused to send
his card to Mr.. Gould. Then he wrote Il
letter stating his business, and addressed
it to the millionaire, but he failed to re-
ceiye an answer. He waited around the
hotel all day, trying to see Mr. Could. He
made UP his mind that he would see him
the next day if he had to die for it. The
following day Brown knocked at the door
of Mr. Gould's room, and the doorkeeper,
not knowing him: slammed the door in his
face, Brown waited while and knocked
again. When the door opened Brown
pushed the doorlSeeper over and entered
the ROOM Mr.. Gould was seated at a
table, engaged III q conversation with
several others. He was considerably
alarmed, but Brown assured his there was
no danger, but demanded five minutes of
his time. Gould reluctantly consented,
and Brown briefly stated his case. 81 have
chance' concluded Brown, 'sto sell the
road to cne Of your rivals, and if you want
my road seat me word by O'Clock to-day"
Brown marched out Of the ROOM
seemingly Indifferent us to what Mr..
Gould's action might be. This made
Gould believe that a rival did want
Browns road, for at 5 O'Clock he informed
Brown that he would complete his road
according to the terms he had mentioned.
The road to-day is one OF the most import
ant parts Of the Missouri Pacific system.
Gould took u great fancy to Browns brusk
way, and now this Two are in partnership
in coal mining in Missouri. AS result

SOLDIERS FUN.
Practical Jokes That Relieved the
NIOnotony of Barrack Life.

NIOnOtOny of Barrack Life.
An old soldier was telling about the
bright side OF his war days. Said he: At
the back OF our barracks two or three
companies were encamped in shelter tents,
as the barracks were little crowded.
Among the high privates of Company i,
was tall Englishman, with a broken or
bent nose, that prominent feature of his
face having twist to ssstarboard He
was somewhat eccentric in his habits,
was an unmarried man and had been for
many years of his life in the English SER
vice. He styled himself 'sThe American
Protector" An inveterate 'sbluf'' player,
and a knack Of holding the winning cards
most of the time, and always playing for
cash, kept him pretty flush of greenbacks.
He said he had no relation Of any kind
living. He always kept his money with
him and was willing to lend on security
at good rate of interest to an impecuni-
Gus soldier who came to him, settlement
at pay day. One day there was an '.inspec-
tion'' of some kind by one or more officers,
who, while inspecting the quarters and
cook houses in the barracks, were to be
looked for at any moment in the camp.
The American Protector was asleep
in his tent. The little pole, supporting
the roof Of this tent, projected out beyond
the door some six inches. Some fellow
happened to pick up q peculiar shaped
branch from an orange tree, that had fal-
len. having a central stem and three long
prongs, Or branches, growing from it, and
conceived the idea OF sticking q large
sour orange on each prong, and suspend
ing the emblem from the aforesaid pro
jecting ridge pole. That DID, old sign,
indicating loans negotiated, swung gently
over the tent entrance: and when the
inspecting officers passed. through camp,
they bit their lips OF smiled blandly.
The decoration seemed quite appropriate
to our men, but the money lender on dis
covering the sign WAS perfectly furious.
Apropos OF odd things on inspection, at
one time in North Carolina General Burn
side was coming to inspect us. Two Of
our men had enormously long mustaches,
The captain of their company or some
other told them it they would each wax
their mustache and curl up the ends to a
rat-tail file shape, and keep a perfectly
sober countenauce while the general passed
along the line Of the company, he the
captaln) would give them good drink OF
whiskey apiece 1t was bargain. The
two men, being tall and ON the right
flank Of the company, stood Stiff us RAM
rods, and with faces of great solemnity.
The General and officers passed along the
line, carefully examining each man.
Reaching our two heroes Burnside seemed
little startled He looked earnestly on
their faces bit his lip, moved on q little
way, then looked back at them. Not a
muscle Of their faces moved. the long hairy
appendages under their noses stood ont
boldly oil each side, with light upward
curl at the ends. Their eyes to the front.
The staff moved on, many OF them laugh
ing.
:sYou did that well,'' said the Captain,
who enjoyed the joke hughly, after jfl-
spection. Nov come to my tent and get
your bitters." And ne settled this part Of
the bargain satisfactorily.

Argentine Republic colonization.

Colonization in the Argentine Republic
seems more hourishing than in other parts
Of South America. Some five to twenty
colonies have been esta blished in the San

leagues, which a few years ago We're given
over to the Indians. To-day they are cul-
tivated by 1,359 families. a railway
leaves Santa Fe, and traverses this region !;
another is projected from Rosario. The
soil is of great fertility, and but little
more than energy and good will are need
ed to acquire here, if not fortune, at
east ease and comfort. The district Of
Santa Fe has received eightyeight colo
nies during the last thirty years, and now
has over 10000 inhabitants.

A " Wild scheme"

The National Republicans PROPOSE
ton 10 drain some Of the southern
States Of their negro population indi-
Gates that it has o genius for grand
schemes such as are seldom originated
outside OF lunatic asylum. II says:
Looking at the situation as it exists,
we can see but one way Of reaching the
evil that must, unless removed, result
in the destruction Of the Government.
Emigration on a grand scale, under the
guidance Of an organization that will
put brains and capital into the work, is
the true remedy. Emigration will re-
duce the representation of States that
nullify the fifteenth amendment, aud
immigration will increase the represen-
tation Of States where equal rights are
accorded.
"a good many States that are Demo-
cratic by small margins can be made
reliably Republican by this process.
1t is better than usurpation, cheaper
than war.
"As a beginning, what objection is
there to the emigration Of 1900 hard
listed toilers from Mississippi to Ten
nessee, 10000 to Missouri, 10000 to
West Virginia, and 5000 to Florida?
Could anything be more Utopian?
However, our Washington contempora-
ry, without intendingit, bears the strong
esttestimony to the fact that the Repub-
licans of the North have no federation
for the negro except in so far as they
can use him politically. 1t also
shows that it the Republican, does
not believe that the negro is not
accorded his rights in the South.
If the Republicans Of the North
bore the negro the love they pro-
TESS to bear him, and the Washington
organ of the party thought he was
down-trodden in the South, would it
not have been natural to propose that
the distribution be made in the northern
States?

Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch
DURHAM, n. c., March 80, 1856.
Within the past two nights a most
hideous-lookiDg bug has appeared in
our midst, which the entomologists call
the water-dragon. The bugs were at
tracted by the electric lights, and on
Monday night they so filled one of the
globes that a man had to climb the pole
and shake them out to prevent their
extinguishipg the light. They are
about two and a half inches long, some
what like a huge beetle, and are said
to be very ravenous, often destroying
fish, birds, and insects.
The Commonwealth Club, composed
Of some of our most prominent and en-
terprising businessmen, held an i'm
portant meeting last night. Among
other questions discussed the water
supply and fire department claimed at
tention. Estimates have been submit
ted by syndicates from the North, ami
we are confidently expecting the inaugu.
ration Of plan in the near future
which will give us an abundant supply
of pure water. The appointment Of
delegates to q railroad meeting at Rox-
boro', in Person county, was also con-
sidered. We are deeply in earnest about
the road from Lynchburg to the North
Carolina State line. We have to build
thirty miles to Roxboro', thence twelve
miles to the point where Lynchburg
promises to meet US. The want of a
competing line here has been q constant
drawback to our prosperity. More

ger-fare changes hands annually at this
depot.
On Saturday night q most dastardly
attempt was made by negro to take

Link, after purchasing a suit Of clothes
and imbibing more of the O-be-joyful

was induced to follow q negro out OF
his path, and when in thicket near the
cemetery was set upon with an old bell
clapper, and wounds were inflicted about
the face which, it is thought, will prove
fatal. The negro and the clothes are
missing.
Arrangements have been made by
which the weather-signals will be dis
played from the top of the Black we'll
