able information. She not only gave
plans and drawings but she was able
to tell of intended movements that
ought not to have been known to any
person outside Of the commander Of
the opposing forces and his most trust

money, and she said that, to continue
her work, she must have $500 in green
backs and So, OOOin Confederate money
I got the $500, but I was doubtful
about getting SO large sum as $4,000,
even in Confederate scrip. 1 called in
General Fitzpatrick and asked him if
he could get some contraband money.
How much do you need?' he
asked.
GA pretty good sum- I replied
$4,000!
".Oh,' said Fitzpatrick, that is a
small matter. I always carry that
sum in my Clothes

A STRANGE disease has made its appear
ance in some parts of the state among
cattle that is battling the skill of veterina-
rians. The animals become lively and
prance at first, but finally pass into long

awaken them. In no case have they lived
more than thirty-six hours after the ap-
pearance of the disease.

The Cause Of Railway Demonstrates.

The Cause Of Railway Demoralixasion.
From the Forum,
I take it that the cause Of railway demorali-
cation, the inherent evil, lies in the absence Of
asense Of trust among stockholders, who make
and unmake directors and officers; in the prev
alent conviction that the right Of voting on q
share Of stock Is property right to be exer-
cised for the selfish purposes of the voter, and
not for the general benefit Of the corporation;
and in the resultant conclusion that stock
holder has right to sell his vote. The effect
OF this conviction il that many stockholders sell
their votes to anyone who viii .ay them q
tride, and thus hand over the absolute control
Of their property to persons who have no in
terest in making that property remunerative,
who frequently seek and find their benefit
rather in its disaster than in its prosperity In
deed, why should persons purchase votes of
corporation, and give their time and labor to
its management, if not for the very purpose of
using the powers of such corporation for some
Interior private benefit? Bribery, then, to use
Q single, plain word, being the cause of railroad
decentralization, the problem underlying all
other railway problems is, how shall it be ex-
tirpated?
