Commencing on Railroads as a Brake man, Ends a Twenty Times Million

Commencing on Railroads as Brake
 man, Ends a Twenty Times Million
 aIre.
 Cosmopolitan for November.l
 Sidney Dillon is one of the constantly
 talked of millionaires of New York. His
 fortune is vsriously estimated at from fifteen
 to twenty-five million dollars, and he has
 for good while been identified with the cor
 porations that Jay Gould controls. Outside
 of these, and of his money, he occupies but little space, having no interest in public affairs, in literature, science, art or society. The wealth he has acquired he owes en- tirely to himself-a fact he fully appreci- ates, and is not unwilling to rehearse. A native of Connecticut, think, born of poor parents, and of humble antecedents, he had scarcely any regular education and was a, early age thrown on his own resources, which were not limited. After trying 6 variety of things, and meeting with slender success, he was drawn to railroads when | they began to be built in this country, and was, believe brakeman for awhile. He l had. however, too much intelligence and enterprise to remain in so unremunerative
 place. He rapidly advanced, and in due l time was contractor to build new lines, l and as such laid the basis of his future
 riches. Since then, period of forty years, l he has been steadily heaping up money, and l since the war, has been associated with some l big railway operations, knowing just wher ! to take hold and when to let go of them-s valuable secret, which he might have learned ! from young master, Jay Gould. He hat | an office in Wall street, and may be found ! there almost any day in business hours. Al | though in the neighborhood of 70, he ii
 hale and hearty. and gives evidence of ter or more years of usefulness to himself. O full habit and forid complexion, his whit | hair becomes him, and he looks as seren | and contented as if he had passed his lift ! in bene6ting his fellows. He doer not dis I like them; but he gives himself no troubl concerning their progress and amelioration one of the cardinal articles of his faitl l being that every man should paddle hi own canoe. He has certainly paddlet his to pecuniary purpose.

Removing Raspberry Canes.


 It Is still debated whether this should be done soon after the fruit is gathered or left till later in the season. I have for years cut tkem as soon as convenient after the berries are picked. Ny reasons for an early cutting of the old canes are that, having served their purpose, they are of no further use, and if allowed to ripen and mature till a natural death follows, they are useless drain upon the soil and the vitality of the plant. If re- moved the young canes receive all the nour- ishment furnished by the roots, and should be better developed and matured as a conse- quence. It is also easier to cut of the canes while still green than when dry and dried. Hand shears are preferable to knife, aVoid- ing the pull, which sometimes lifts the whole plant, when the canes are hard and dry.
 The opponents of early removal claim that these old canes are an aid to the maturity and development of the young canes; that it is nature's way and therefore right. It is also claimed that if left till spring they af- foxd needed protection during the winter to the young canes. There is a show of reason in the protection theory, but as the injury is very apt to occur in early spring, after the old canes are removed, the benefit becomes less apparent, and is more than counterbal~ anced by the draught on the plant in the process of ripening. The above remarks will apply also to blaekberries, the worst of all the berry canes to handle.

AN RECONSTRUCTION TAX. The commercial travellers and those for whom they travel have reason to rejoice, Three decisions of the United States Supreme court, two of them rendered over year ago in the cases of Robbins against Shelby county, Tennessee, and Cerson against the
 State of Maryland, and the third given out
 by the reorganized court last week, in the
 ease of Asher against the State of Texas,
 dispose finally of the asserted right of 6
 State to tax commercial travellers, and indi-
 rectly of all claims of power on the part of
 the component parts of the federal system
 to restrict and regulate commerce between
 the States. A State law imposing taxes up-
 on drummers from other States is declared
 unconstitutional for the third time, and with
 such unanimity in at least two of the cases
 that the matter is likely to rest.
 The interference with free comp etition for
 the American market which has been att
 tempted by some of the States has been very
 troublesome, and it is good thing for all concerned to have it out of the way. It is 8 curious fact, as the New York Tribune re- marks, ''that the unworthy spirit which
 
 been chiefly manifested among the people and embodied in the legislation of those States under whose domination the National Democracy has gone on record in the Mills bill and the Presidents message as a free trade party. It is almost exclusively in Alabama, Arkansas. Florida, Georgia, Ken- lucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, the Caroli- mas, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia-thst mandatory or permissive measures of restrio- ton have been enacted by the legislatures. he.exceptions are so few that such tramnaels may be truthfully described as southern in- stitution. The noble obligation to tbuy in the cheapest market and all those articles of moral and scientific faith which together oon- stitute the free trade creed seem to have been forgotten by our southern brethren so soon as the commercial traveller appeared up pom the scene with his sample boxes"

The wanderings of gypsies through their fayorite field, Austria, has received 8 serious check. The Austrian minister of the interior has iaaued a decree by which itinerant gypsy bands, wherever they turn up, will be called upon to give an account Of themselves, and should it be ascertained that they have come from the East they are turned back under es- cort. On such occasions all expense entailed by their transport is to be defrayed by them- selves, and should they be insolvent their live stock and ohattels are to be sold at auc- tion. The gypsy of Austria and Bohemia is said to be of doubtful honesty. whereas the Hungarian gypsy Is hard working and inof- fsnsive. A case recently learned of disclosed Hungarian gypsy horse dealer employing an English governess for his daughters, who were receiving an excellent education, while his son WAS an officer in the Ronmanian army.

A ring has risen into prominence as being the cause of the misfortunes which have late ly afflicted the royal house of Spain. The late King Alfonso XII gave it to his cousin
 Mercedes when he was betrothed to her, and she wore it during the whole of her short

She died very soon after when it pass ed to the kings sister, the Infanta del Pillar, who at once began to sicken and in few days also breathed her last.

A good deal of money has been sent to Jacksonville and doubtless most of it has been well used. But the following from the Jacksonville Times Union is significant: Cir cumstances of late have not infreq uently aroused suspicion that some people were managing to get reported as yellow fever pa- tients in order to become the recipients of certain charities not extended to the well, and this of course could not be done without the aid and abettal of the physician called in. Such trickery would not only be infamous in itself, but it's tendency would be by swelling the number of new cases reported, to prolong the outward appearance of the existence of an epidemic here.

Some evidence that marriage is not fail
 ure is found in the marriage of couple of colored folks 6 few days ago in Marlboro, Maryland. The groom, David Crack, said to
 be 107 years old, was married to a buxom
 widow of seventy-fve years. David Crack was an old slave of Major B. Bruce, then was
 bought by John B. Brooks. Crack says he took part in the war of 1s12, at which time he was a robust young man. Crack lives near Cheltenhnm, where he owns own 8 place.
