The Railroad War.

BOULDER, March s.-The anxiety
regarding affsire IN railroad matters at
Jefferson canon has subsidized, and
present appearances indicate that the
incipient clash which one time seemed
imminent between the Northern Pa
cific and Union Pacific forces at work
on the grade there has been obviated.
The advent upon the scene OF action
ofso large force Of men representing
the Union Pacific had the effect of
impressing the opposition with the
force and relevancy of the adage that
discretion was the better part of
valor," and without any show OF op-
position they relinquished the posses.
sion which they had. This was con.
summation devoutly to be wished, and
both parties are now vigorously en-
gagged In the work of grading.

Thackeray was in high spirits, and
when the cigars were lighted he said
that there should be no speech max
ing, but that everybody, according 10
the old rule OF festivity should sing a
song or tell story. Lester Wallackss
father, James Wallack, was one of
the guests, and with q kind of shyness,
which was unexpected but very agree
able in veteran actor, he pleaded
earnestly that he could not sing and
knew no story. But with friendly
persistence, which was yet not immod-
crate, Thackeray declared that no ex-
cuse could be allowed, because Il
would be q manifest injustice TO every
other modest man at table, and put q
summary end to the hlarity. II was to
be general sacrifice, round table of
magnanimity. Nov, Wallack," he
continued, 1--WE all hnw you to be o
truthful man. You Gun, of course,
since you say 80, neither Eng o song
nor tell story. But tell you what
you can do, and what every soul at
this table knows you can do better than
any living man-you can give US the
gr 1t scene from the Rent Day."
There was q burst of enthusiastic
agreement and old Wallack, smiling
and yielding, still sitting at the table
in his evening dress, proceeded in q
most effective and touching recitation
from one Of his most famous parts. It
was curious to observe from the mo-
ment he began how completely inde-
pendent Of all accessories the accom-
plished actor was, and how perfectly
he filed the part as If he had been In
full action upon the stage.-Harper's
