Cassatt to Re-Enter Active Railroad Life.
A j. Cassatts name is Instioned quite promi-
nentiy in the reorganization of the Philadelphia
& Reading road. Mr.. Cassatt retired from active
railroad life some four years ago. He is rich
and he resigned that he might enjoy his wealth
and devote his time to stock breeding, of which
he is very fond.
The New York correspondent of the Pittsburg
Dispatch says: II asked an old Pennsylvania
railroad man il he thought that anything would
induce Mr.. Cassatt to undertake the herculean
task of recognizing company so deep in the
slough Of insolvency as the Reading. Tt seems to
me much more likely than it would have been two
years ago. he replied. 'Cassatt went abroad
and had his rest, and since then he and w. L.
Scott together have built the New York, Phila-
delphia d Norfolk, which will pay them consd-
erably more than 81. 900, 900, and he has also
gone back into the Pennsylvania board and takes
as much interest in the road as ever"
The correspondent speaks of Mr.. Cassatt's
standing as railroad man in former years as
follows:
The old man Garrett had more fear of Cassatt
than of anyone else whom he had to meet at the
sittings OF the trunk-line executive committee,
continued the railroad man, and he used to say
that he never wanted to stay away if Cassatt was
going to be there. remember one meeting
when he had made serious charges of rate cutting,
and was quite angry about it. Cassatt. in his
quiet way soothed him with the remark: "But
hear that you have been shaving east-bound
rates"
'sNot bit of it, no. sirn
But Mr.. Garrett, of course weknow that you
would not authorizeit but your agents may have
done so without your knowledge; you can't be re-
sponsible for everything they may do"
II would stake my life on their obedience to
orders. None Of them would dare cut rate on
that authority. But This is puerile Let us not
talk about it.n
Twill you look at that" was Mr.. Cassatt's re-
ply. drawing paper from his pocket and pass
ing it over. 1t was Baltimore g. Ohio way bill
with the agents signature and the cut rate
plainly written across the face of it. Mr.. Cas-
satt had fortified himself with proofs before
making charges

The Chicago & Indiana Coal Road,


BRAZIL, Feb 10.-The Chicago & Indiana coal
road, the southern extension of the Chicago &
Great Southern, are pushing forward the work
of construction. Track has been laid across the
Indianapolis & ST. Louis. six miles north of
Brszil, and is being pushed day and night, the
average exceeding mile day. The grade is
not yet completed in this city, and may not be
for some two or three weeks; but the track
will be joined to the furnace switch, at
point two miles north of the city, and the grad
ing here will not prevent trains coming in next
week. The grading here is for double track,
besides two or more switches, and is rather ex.
tensive. just outside the corporate limits the
company owns twenty acres of ground, while
their right of way through the city is two tiers
of lots wide, as far south as Main street. then
four tiers south of Main to the Vandalia track
1t Is the intention to enlarge the territory south
of Main to twice the present width. Here their
freight and passenger depots will be erected.
Their principal shops will be erected on the TWEEN
ty acres north Of the city limits The managers
of the road have acted honorably with all en-
ployes, paying them each week and turning over
balances, ii any, to contractors. AS a result
they have had faithful following on the part of
competent workmen and their road bed is as good
as cash and good work can make it, circunl-
stances considered. In reaching Brazil from
Yeddo the road passes through the coal fields all
the way. According to Professor Collects re-
cent geological map of Indiana much of this
coal is bituminous, OF superior grade. The
prospects of the road are indeed fiattering.

There are current indications, says the Phila-
delphia Press that influential friends Of the Bal
timore & Ohio, on the one hand, and of the
Pennsylvania on the other, are earnestly con-
ferrine together, with the intent to arrange some
frien fy basis on which both these corporations
can meet and come to harmonious understand
ing respecting the Reading and its allied lines.
The views and designs of the two great rival
lines have been commonly regarded as diametri-
caily opposed. and their several managers as ir-
reconcilably hostile. but potent peace-makers
have been at work during the week to bring
about mutual agreement. and it is said these
negotiators have confidently expressed hopes of
ultimate success.

directors saw Sir Edward Watkin, Bart. chair.

The Ancient Pyramid. Of Mexico.

The pyramid of Papantla in Mexico is
not built of bricks or clay mixed with
whinstones, as are most OF those in
Mexico, but of immense blocks of
porphyry, i'm the seams of which mortar
may still he distinguished. The base If
the pyramid is an exact square. each
side eiglty-two feet long, with a perInn-
dicular height of sixty feet. Like all
Mexican ttUalli,, or places Of human
sacrifice. il is composed of six successive
stages. with great stairway leading to
the trmcated summit. Hieroglyphics
and strange iigures-such as serpents.
frogs and crocodles-are carved i'm has
relief ON the faced stones Of each story.
while multitude of 4 uare inches C:l:l6
in number, have given rise to the con-
lecture that they had some religious
connection with the ancient Tnltec
calendar. The twelve additional inches
in the stairway toward the east may
have st,od for the twelve useless" or
intercalated days at the end of their
circle.
For centuries after the Spaniards had
possessed themselves of this country.
the Indians jealousy concealed from
them all knowledge Of these monuments;
and they were accidentally discovered
by party Of hunters. as late as lisO.
