IN THE RAILWAY WORLD.

The kumored Reorganization OF the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia.
There have been rumors in circulation
for some months to the effect that there
viii soon be a change in the management
OF the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
gia system. 1t was said that in a few
months, certainly before July. the system
would pass ont Of the hands OF a receiver
and be operated by the owners of the prop
erty. The latest Information upon this
line, says the Constitution, is that in
couple of months the East Tennessee, Nlr-
GINA and Georgia road will be sold at fore
closure sale, and n reorganization Will
take place upon a solid basis. Henry
FINK. who Is now receiver OF the property,
having been appointed to that position in
Jan, 1883, Is a very able railroad man,
like his brother, Albert, Commissioner OF
the Trunk Line Pool, and Rudolph, gen
eral manager and agent for the trustees
OF the Memphis and ldJtle Rock road. OF
the REORGANIZATION company Henry Fink
II is said, viii be made President. The
annual meeting Of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia was to have been
held some time ago. but when the time
came Tor holding the meeting Nelson
Robinson, the son-ir-law Of George L.
Seney, appeared on the scene with stock
and proxies TO vote that would have upset
the plans of the other directors had Rob-
inson been allowed to vote then. The
meeting was postponed, and has not, it is
believed, been held as yet. The Opp0si-
ton parties, however, came together,
patched up matters in short time, and
now George Seney's son-in-iaw and the
other parties interested are united, and
will work together for the common good
and get the property at the foreclosure sale
at as low a figure as possible. 1t Is said
these people hold a large amount of the
Companys bonds, ana that they will not
require very much money TO secure the
property. 1t is proposed 10 build branch

der which the latter road is operated by
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-

There will be meeting Of the general
managers Of all Of the Southern roads in
Atlanta Feb. 6.
The meeting ia called for the purpose OF
discussing the proposed change OF gauge
of all Of the lines traVerslng the territory
south OF the Ohio and east OF the Missis-

The meeting will be quite an important
one IN railroad circles, as the whole pro-
gramme for changing the gauge Will be
planned and put in shape for the work to
be done. Tne changing Of the trucks to
suit the gauge Of the track will also be
discussed, and definite plans agreed upon
so that there will be no delay from that
source. At all OF the railroad ahops OF

Tell YOur Wife.

If you are in any trouble or quandary,
tell your wife, that is, if you have one,
all about it at once. Ten to one her in
vention will solve your difficulty sooner
than all your logic. The wit of woman
has been praised, but her instincts are
quicker and keencr than her reason.
Counsel with your wife, or your mother
or sister, and be assured that light will
flash upon your darkness. Women are
too commonly adjudgcd as verdant in all
but purely womanish affairs. No philo-
sophical student of the sex thus ad judges
them. Their intuition or insight, is the
more subtle, and if they canhot see the
cat in the meal there is no cat there. In
connscling one to tell his trouble to his
wife, we would go further, and advise
him to keep none OF lis affairs secret
from her. Many home has been hap
PLY saved, and many fortune relieved,
by mans full confidence in his better
half. Woman is far moro q seer and
prophet than man, if she be given
chance. As general rule, wives con-
fide the minutcst of their plans and
thoughts to their husbands, having no
involvemcnts to screen from him. Why
not reciprocatc, if but for the pleasure of
meeting confidence with contidcncc2 We
are certain that no man succeeds so well
in the world as he who, taking partner
for life, makes her the partner of all his
purposes and hopes. What is wrong in
his impulses or Judgment, she will check
and set right with her almost universally
right instincts. "IIcIpmcct" was no in
significant title as applied to mans COM
panion. She is meet help to him IN
every darkness, difficulty and sorrow of
life; and what she most Graves and de-
sires is confidence, without which love
is never free from shadow.-4r&anSaw

a Little Heroine.

Fairfax Payne is the pretty name Of
little heroine who lives at Monroe, n. c.
Some persons were eXerting themselves
to establish an Episcopal church in that
town, and, while Others were giving Of
their means, little Fairfax had no money
to give, and all her little schemes for
raising money came to naught. She had
one possession, however that was the
pride of her mothers heart and the envy
of every other mother in the town, and
this the child determined to sacrifice in
the good cause. 1t was her mass of gold
en- hair that fell far below her waist, and
which she had been led to believe would
be worth a goodly sum "at the North"
The hair was cut off and consigned to
a lady in the North; but unfortunate
ly, the sillkcn tresscs, though wonder
fully beautiful, had very little commercial
value, owing to the fact that not one

that shade, and So was the highest offer
made by New York hair dealers for Fair
fax Paync's sacrifice, The kind lady to
whom the hair had bccn consigned had
not the heart to Gi;appoint the child
with such poor return, and it occurred
to her to make al appeal to other chill
drcn through lhrperS Young People. A.
touching letter from the lady was pub
lished in that paper, and in short time
upwards Of $50 was subscribed in small
sums by the young readers. This fund
was expended in the purchase of COM
munon service to be offered in her own
name by the little girl who dedicated her
golden hair, now transmitted into vessels
of another precious metal, to the service
Of God. .--IIa,PsrS Baear.

The judges of the United States Su-
premc Court are thought to be among
the sleckcst, most contentcd, most ur-
banc and most esteemed citizens of
Washington. Their glaccs are for life,
and they receive $4,000, having the
privilege of retiring at 70 with a contnu-
alton of the same salary. This freedom
from an uncertainty about the future and
removal from any temptation to dabblo
in politics doubtless have much to do
with their amiablcncss and serenity
Judge Bradley IS 10; Judge Miller is 10;
Chief Justice Waite and Judge Field will
be 10 in November, so that President
Cleveland will have it in his power to
appoint their successors, provided they
retire. This fact causes the Supreme
Court to be q source of unusual interest
just now to many lawyers all over the
land. The judges enjoy excellent health
they average 200 poun Is each, Bradley
being the only thin man among them.
and have, as whole, been remarkable
for longevity. There have been but
forty-thrcc occupants in all of the Su.
premc Bench, and but seven Supreme
Justices. The government has already
paid them more than 1000, 900 in sal
aries, one-third of the entire number hav-
ing served beyond thirty years. Fol
ease, comfort aud dignity, no political
position in the republic equals that Of a
judge of the Supreme Court.

Two patents have been issued to Alex
andcr G. Bell, c. A. Bell and S. Taintcr
for reproducing sounds from phonograph
records and transmitting and recording
sounds by radiant energy. The invention
is an improvement of the photograph,
and the new instrument is called a
"graphophonc." The vocal sounds are
received by means of a transmitter similar
to that of the telephone and arc recorded
upon cylinder of wax, whence they are
reproduced with complete accuracy. No
electricity is employed, the means being
mechanical throughout, The invention
is attracting great deal of attention on
account of remarkable power of rcproduc-
ing human speech.
