JUSTICE FIELD tells how his pride had
a fall. When he was young man he
was particularly proud of his erect form
and fine, curling hair. Walking ono
day with his head well up he ran against

and a consequent stoop in his Shout

brain fever, and hy-blister cured the

GEORGE TICKNoR CURTIS and George
William Curtis, in this day of countless
celebrities often pass as one. In other
words, some persons mix those Curtiscs
up. But they are very different men,
indeed. One of the best pan-and-nk
pictures of the first mentioned may be
found in this extract from current
Washington letter: Mr.. Curtis is fast
becoming an old man, and he is, indeed,
in his seventy-fourth year. He is
short man with big head, bald at the
top, and lunches of brownish-g gray hair
coming out at the sides over the eyes.
His face is rather English in its cast,
and it has numerous wrinkles. Gray
bushy side whiskers stand out from his
hollow cheeks, and bright dark eyes
look out under the faintest shadow Of
brows below rather high forehead.
He dresses rather clerically, and docs
not l92k unlike retired preacher"

THE CHANGE OF GAUGE.--OD the eth OF
May the gauge Of the Richmond and Dan
vile read from West Point to Danville will
be changed from five feet TO four feet nine
inches and not single mail will be inter-
rupted. The company will accomplish this
remarkable feat by bringing the section
hands from parts of the system south of
Danvillc, and placing ganga Of fourteen men
and one foreman to each four miles oftrack.
For some time past preparations have been
made for this change. Spikes have been
driven in each alternate tic three inches
within the rail, and on the 9th all that it will
be necessary to do will be to draw out the
spikes which hold the rails in their present
position and push the rails into toe spikes
which have been driven. Spikes will then
be driven on the outside of the rails and
in the ties, which have been omitted, and
the work will be complete. AS the rails are
connected by fish bars, about dozen can
be removed at one Time. On the 1st OF
June the hands from this end of the line
will be sent South, and the rails between
Danyile and Atlanta, 400 miles, will be
moved in one day. The rolling stock, as
far as practicable, will be stored at Atlanta
and Charlotte company's shops and Man
chester, and the trucks will be changed.
The gauge of all the Southern roads will be
altered early. in the summer,-Rich. Wing. :

EX-SENATOR JOHNSTON, Of Virginia, III
one of the "open letters" of this mon'n )
number of the Century magazine, proves
"by the record" that Mr.. George W. CABLE

adopted son of the North, is guilty. OF 'ne
"cruelest and grossest misstatements' IN
"The Silent South" concerning the wnl'e
people of the section in which ne was oofa
and raised. Mr.. Cable having discovered
that the most available means now whereby
be can obtain money in the North Is blatant
abuse of his own section, is making nay
while the sun shines. But if he be not en-
tirelv devoid of conscience he must regard
the money so acquired in the light OF Diooa
money, the possession OF which can AFFORD
him little real pleasure. But, excepting
possibly Bishop Dudley, it did not require

strikers, seeing that no impression was be-
ing made on the men, called OF the former,
