 A Connecticut Mans Ascent of Long,, Peak.
 The last number of Appalaohia contains { very interesting article by Mir. F. H. Cha pin, of this city, describing his ascent o Long's Peak in the summer of 1887. MT Chapin, who IS 8 scientific mountaineer aud
 skilled photographer, has 8 cosmopolitar
 love for mountains and mountain climbing
 but when he strikes our own Rockies he is a
 patriotic American. He pictures the pleas.
 ures and settlements of clambsring among
 the Rocky ranges in way to make this pio-
 neering work very attractive. Comparing the achievements of Alpinists in Europe with those of corresponding clubs here, MT. Cha pin says:
 E1Msmbers of foreign Alpine clubs have thorough Y eEplored and phososEaphed the ice districts of noble work of the survey parties in the serras of great great ext eHtent by indisiduaI T efort to any
 Mir. Chapin knows just where, in these aI- most inaccessible wilds, camera should be set up in order to catch the most impressive view of any special crag-and he always gets there. So we have the unique illustration of Long's Peak which makes the frontispiece of the magazine, and which gives, MT. Chapin says, the "most characteristic view' of the peak. In describing it he writes:
 The appearance of the noble mountain is like 8 citadel perched upon enormous bastions and pro- tected by ramparts made by intervening walls of rock.
 Besides this beautifully finished ilIustrs- don there are cuts showing the cliffs and col umnar construction of the rocks, taken from drawing make by Mir. Nairn of this city. There is also quotation from Mir. Sylvester 9. Dunham's thrilling and picturesque de- Bcription of an electrical strom, which he on the summit of Long's Peak. hat adds much to the interest of the article

RUMBLINGs OF THE RAIL.

L. G. WILLIAMS, well and favorably known
IN railroad circles, has been appointed agent
Of the Tennessee Midland road.
GENERAL AGENT MORRISON, of the st.
Louis, Arkansas & Texas railroad, and Pass
cnger Agent Warner, OF the same road, have
gone to st. Louis.
s. w. TUCKER, general freight and pass
enger agent of the Memphis n Little Rock
railroad, passed through Memphis yesterday
en- route from Little Rock to st. Louis.
TIE latest rumor in regard TO J. T. Harra-
han resignation from the Louisville u Nash
willie is TO the effect that he will go with the
Baltimore 4 Ohio, If he leaves the Louisville
& Nashville.
TIrsRE are 500 900 freight cars on the vari-
Gus railroad lines in this country, of which
G0,0O0 are the property of the Pennsylvania
Central road. They range in value from
$500, the cost Of constructing a Hat car TO
$3.50, the amount expended in building
the average refrigerator car.
The magnitude Of the investments made
in southern railroads since 1850 are almost
beyond comprehension. In seven years and
a half $4,000 miles OF new road not count
ing sidings and switches, have been laid in
the fourteen southern States. This is only
1000 miles less than the entire mileage Of
the south In 1880.
A MEETING Of the stockholders OF the East
Tennessee Virginia a. Georgia railroad is
called for October Is, ut Knoxville, Tenn,
for the purpose of considering whether an
amount not exec eding 50, 900, 90 In improve
mcnt and equipment bonds shall be issued.
The bonds, il authorized, will be secured by
