GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.
Matters of Money and management
About Various Lines.

The work of grading and rushing for
ward the Western railway from Green
Cove Springs TO its western terminus
goes steadily on, we learn.
The last published work OF the Ala
bama Railroad Commission was the re-
duction OF fare on the G. ). and M. from
4c. TO So. They have ordered new depot
at Town Greek, on the Memphis and
Charleston, in Lawrence county. They
are also considering the matter of depot
at Tuscumbia on the same road. II seems
that Tuscumbia one of the largest sta
tons on the line, has no passenger depot.
The commission has ordered new pas
senger depot at Demopolis, which in that
sort of accommodation is In the same nix
with Tuscumb Ia. The hotel at Demopolis
is convenient and all that, but once re-
fused to let the public utilize It's office
and piazza as a waiting room for less
than 500. apiece.

into clothing such AS this market calls
for, and enables lis not only TO sell TO con-
sumers direct for a less price than other
dealers buy them at, but also TO pleaee
our patrons better by having better
trimmed, better made and better fitting
clothing, thereby saving to customers the
annoyance and expense OF tailor, al
though we pay tailor by the JOB for
such alterations, as the greatly dispro-
porti0nate shapes in a few instances may
require. Our stock OF Fall Clothing is
complete, and prices never more reason
able han this season. We also carry a
large line OF Shirts, Underwear, Socks,

FATHER JosErH, OF the Trappist Abb
hey OF Gethsemane, New Hope, Nelson
county, KY, who died three weeks
ago was known, and widely known, as
Cordia Collier an opera singer, music
teacher and composer. In the revolu-
tionary times of 1S4S he was greatly
affected by the free thought movement
in Europe. Under the influences that
then prevailed M. Collier turned from
tho church in which he had been raised
and wrote revolutionary song that
caused him to be exiled from France.
He came to the United States, aud fin
ally became member OF the French
opera in New Orleans. His splendid
bass voice made him favorite there,
where he sang several seasons. His
daughter was educated at convent
near Newport, KY, where M. Collier
visited her, and where she aiterward
became nun. Eventually NJ. Col
lier abandoned the world and entered
the Trappist monastery, where he has
just died at the age OF seventy-eight.

Ruinous System.

Should the ''Clarksyille breaks
open in February and March next, at a
margin over Paducah, Hopkinsville
and Louisville, our market will be
over-run IN May and June. Now tc
the point. Farmers in the original
Clarksvllle District have for the pas,
ten years been securing an advance on
their tobacco in November and Decem-
Der, making four and six months paper
in bank. In this way the crop is hand
icaped, the wsrehousemen are tied
down to their home trade, the hanks
are short, ond we are unable to extend
facilities to our new customers. There
ia but one safe plan for the GAINESVILLE
warehousemen; that is conservative
policy. Advances in most instances
are taken by banks upon the faith, in
the solvency OF the maker OF the paper.
Here the banks look alone to the
promptness OF the acceptors-the ware
houses. This four and six months pa
per, ias rule, has to be renewed, as the
iarmers are never prepared for market
at maturity. Could we bring about a
state OF things 30 that money would
only be advanced on tobacco in store,
then we would be upon the only safe
basis OF money on produce. We do
not doubt the general honesty Of man
kind, but we do say that indiscriminate
advancing is dangerous to the banks,
ruinous TO the best interest OF our
warehousemen and slavish to the farm
ers. Truly,
The OLD MAN.

HIDE AGAINST WOOL.

The Tariff and the Blair bill are as
nearly related rs Avery Stark's sheep
skin and the wool that grew on it.
Avery lived near Springfield in Rob-
ertson county, and in tina; town one Hy
Orndorff carried on tan yard, in the
good old days before the war. Avery
carried sheep skin to Hy one day
and asked him what he would charge
to tan it. lily examined itand replied:
swell, Avery, I'll tan the hide for the
wool that's on it.
"All right" said Avery, and at once
by took his shears and commenced
clipping the wool, Avery closely watch :
ing the process.
AS the wool, when clipped, made a
big-looking pile on Hy's bench, Avery
remarked: Look here, Hy, that's
too much wool to charge for tanning
the hide. I'll trade over with you, I'll
give you the hide for the WOOL"
"Jus. suit yourself" said Hy, and
Avery gathered up the wool and put
out for home, leaving the hide on Hy's
bench.
That night Avery thought the matter
all over, and, no difference which way
he figured it in his head, he still APP
peared to be n loser. His final con.
clusion was summed upin this remark:
swell I'm burned fool somehow, for
when left home this morning / owned
both the wool and the hide, and now
that dad-blasted Hy has got the hide
and never paid me solitary cussed
cent for II"
And this also ia vanity.

sponse To the toast 1.-THE Bench and
Bar" at the banquet in honor OF II. M.
Doak in Memphis on the 18th inst,
used these words: Journalism, like
the nractlce Of the law, is the play Of
intellect on the rack, goaded into &C.
tivity, fevered by excitement, plying
its powers in the daily task OF making
the brick, whether there be straw or
not. While authorship is intellect
nursing its energies, putting forth its
bert efIorts, in its best words and. best
thoughts, with time and opportunity
for healthy digestion. Therefore we
may be content to zee the light OF the
editor 60 out II another and better
radiance ia TO be kindled among the
lighter duties OF the clerk. Charles
Lamb wrote the Essays OF Ella" while
he occupied the place OF an accountsn,
in the East India Company. Samuel
Rogers dreamed on 1.-THE Pleasures oil
Memory" in the parlor Of his banking
house. Literature and routine bust.
ness are not, therefore, incompatible
And hence predict that our departing
friend will ibecome the official recoroe
of federal judicial proceedings without
robbing The world of the wit and wis.
dom, the pathos and poetry, aud the
pure English writing and the cogent
reasoning which haye so enriched our
daily press.
