The New Railroad.

It is rumored as coming from the off,
Gals of the Delaware River Railroad that
railroad will soon be built between
Woodbury. and Gloucester City and the
trains over the Delaware River Railroad
will be run through over it to Philadelphia
The Reading and Pennsylvania Railroads,
it is said, have an agreement not to build
parallel lines to one another. To get
around the agreement outside parties will
build the road but the Reading road will
operate it. This will give the people along
the Delaware River road better accomoda-
lions and quicker time to Philadelphia as
there will then be no change of cars

It is indeed Q great delight to the busy
t1uck-driver and other brain-workers Of
New York on q quiet Sabbath afternoon to
stroll about our great, free menagerie and
congress of living wonders near the Sixty
fourth street and Fifth avenue entrance to
Central Park. Here the great breakers of
civilization along the celebrated avenue
break upon the shores Of an artificial viii
derness. A few PAGES from the wealth and
refinement Of the great thoroughfare the
great gray rscks and spreadip4 elms Of the
primeval forest extend themselves, as one
may say, whilst the roar Of the Fifth ave-
nue. stage aud the rattle Of the silver har-
ness and the trappings Of swollen pros
perity mingle with the sweet song Of the
paroquef and the low plunk of the hippopot-
anus.
Hero the worn husbandman and stock

On quiet afternoon engaged in keeping OF
the grass. Here you may see the weary and
ul-paid plumber who has been engaged all
the week in stopping gas leaks with bar
soap and charging war prices for it, with
freight added. Here you will find the glad
children improving their minds by studying
the works of nature.
Last Sabbath spent the afternoon look
ing over, in q cursory way, our wealth of
animals at the park, also our plantigrades,
quadramana, marsupials and graminivorous
rhammalia. At first strolled along the

Numerous entertaining true anecdotes are
told of the sagacity Of the elephant, many
Of which are lies. Icould tell few myself,
but it is bad enough, think, for school
books to do that, without allowing such
things to creep into literature.
Next went over to see the bear cave, or
home Of the ursus Marituu,ls, the white or
polar bear, the black bear, or ursus Amer
icanms, and the grizzly bear Of the Rocky
Mountains, the ursus horribilis or bos bitcacus.

State, is Of darkish black color, while the

which holds its own against the sharp COM

beasts. The bear is better as an outdoor
amusement, think, than otherwise. He
would make . poor parlor entertainer, es-
pecially while mouthing. The odor Of the
bear keeps the crowd back somewhat from
the cave. but when q gentleman from
Castle Garden, on Sunday, wearing
seven suits Of clothes and a crochetted lap
robe around his neck, walked up to the
iron fence and began eating his lunch, the
polar bear tainted.
The polar bear inhsbits the frigid zone
north and south OF given point where he
subsists on trapped relief expeditions. Once
he was pure as the beautiful snow, but now,
by . careful scrutiny Of his plumage, he
finds that he II not SO. he looks like . de-
jected door mat, and, on q hot day, his
pants are checked somewhat by the heat
We now pass on to the kangaroo an
mex, where we find also the coon, both
American and African. The kangaroo is
q ruminating marsupial. But it Is hered-
itary, and therefore not so reprehensible as
1t might be otherwise There are two or
three varieties Of this pleasing beast, and
all Of the genus micropus, think, though
would not have any one take my word for
It on such matter as that, involving, as it
does, the peace Of so many people. There
are the nsicropws Gigantegs, the yellow-footed
kangaroo, also the rat kangaroo and the
kangaroo itself. The kangaroo has been so
sedentary all his life that his leading vitals
seem to have settled into the base Of his
system. He is of q long-waisted turn Of
mind, and springs with great agility from
place to place, like bogus nobleman seek
ing for bride. Some kangaroos are gre
Rarious in their habits, while others are not
Whether any thing can be done for it or
not, do cot pretend to say. l am not here
to moralize. Ny duties simply embrace
q terse description Of the animal itself. The
only cases, however, where the kangaroo
has not been gregarious are isolated.
We here see tho American opossum or
dsdelphys Vlrpiniand. He ought to be the
crest Of the Civii-Service Reform party, for
to the casual observer he Is extremely dead.
We next pass to the fat occupied by the
hippopotami or the genus pachyderm. The

moves for him. He rarely eats Q person
who smokes cigarettes or eats raw onions.
Near tho puma we find some delightful
snakes. They are on an elevated floor Of q
plain, unfurnished cage. The moccasin
snake is there, the beautiful but disagreea-
BILE Toricophis piscir0r,H Of the Southern
States. The boa constructor is also resting
in corner, looking Ion gingly and hungrily
ut the two-horned rhinoceros on the other
side Of the aisle.
So much has been said Of tho late Mr..
Crowly and his sorrowing widow that I
will not refer to them here at length, for
other and abler pens than mine have COW
cred the ground. Suffice it to say that
though essentially a humorist, Mr.. Crowly
had his own sorrows to contend with, and
though he brought many smiles to the faces
of those who were sad, he suffered mentally
and physically all his life. Matrlmonially,
he was not happy, having been forced into
an alliance which was distasteful to him; ;
yet Mr.. Crowly respected his marriage
vows, even while hating the bondage to
which he was subjected. No one will ever
know how his heart ached when he thought
of the petite chimpanzee he had left in his
far-away home, or how her image was in

surance to the one who now bears hisname.
Though his humor was rather broad, and,
therefore, Objectionable to the more refined,
he got great many good press notices,
and, with little better voice, could have
succeeded as q lecturer. Dying in New
York as he did. he will not get monument,
of course, but he richly deserves it.
1t would be impossible to enlarge upon
the almost numberless specimens of animal
life scattered about through the park, from
the wakeful weasel to the moth-eaten buff
falo, from the little birdling up to the large,
portable emu, the little smooth zebu or bos
tndicus, the pensive stork, the yak, the
kooroo, the wart hogs Of the wilderness and
the wartogs of the massive lion, and the lame
lioness who limps about her cage and eats
nothing but frogs legs and ragouts Of beef.
Sitting down near the lions cage, one can
almost fancy he is about to discover the
sources Of the Nile. In the distance, as he
half closes his eyes, he hears the cluck of
the dodo which has just come of her nest
with two little new dodos. He also hears
the lilt of the scaroo and the sleepy voice Of
the high behind. The burrished moon
seems to simmer little bit through the
