oil them. Indeed, the PhllistineS courage was
dampened fully as much as the hearts of the
Israelites were elated. The Philistines had
heard the story of the plaques in Egypt, the
overthrow in the Red Sea, the wonders of the
wilderness, and they dreaded such Deity.
Nevertheless they plucked up courage, cheered
each other, painted pictures of the conse-
quences to them of their failure, resolved to
make the best of the BATTLE The Philistine
leaders were indeed braves. What contrast

IL was we'll known that tue people at the
Capital, Shiloh, would DO greatly interested
and anxious. There was no telegraph. The
method of carrying news was by fleet footmen,
professional posts or c0uriers. The name of
the messenger is not known. We do not learn
that the officers of the defeated army dis
patched him to Shiloh. He may have gone of
his own accord. We remember Shiloh was 20
TO so miles from the battlefield. And yet tho
r00tman reached the Capital the same day us
That on which the defeat took place. ". l2.)
Hence probably. the baltic occurred in tho
early part of the day. The postman did not
have heart to tell Eli--the man old nearly to q
century-to tell him of the defeat of the Israel
ties, of the death of his sons, and especially of
tho seizure of the Ark. Probably Eli had very
reluctantly consented to let the Ark go, and
from the moment OF its departure trembled for
its safety. On dew the courier crying out the
sad news. Eli sat near the gate at the entry of
the city of Shiloh, awaiting tidngs from the
army. The people hearing the postman and
reading in his rent clothes and mud -daubed
hair the terrible fate OF the Israelites, set up
loud EXPLANATIONS of sorrow. Eli called for the
man and begged for the particulars. Eli en-
dured the awful intelligence until the courier
declared that the Phiistines had borne off the
Ark. That was too much. The messenger,
knowing we'll the anxiety of Eli, ingeniously
and tenderly kept back till the last moment
the truth us to the Ark. Eli swOoned, and SO
fell that his neck was broken.
From the effect Of the news on the wife Of
Phinehas originated the name Iehabod. 1t is
very expressive word. 1t means, the glory is
departed. 1t was the dying word OF the mother
of Els grandehld. What disgraeeful condi-
tion that was in which to find Gods people,
In one sense not only their honor, but their
very God was taken from them.

The Tenncssce Midland.

James L. Sloan, prominent railroad Of
fetal, told a Nashville american reporter
Friday that the Tennessee Midland had
been constructed TO point within six
miles of the Tennessee River. lie said
that the directors hoped 10 get to work on
the east side OF the river by the 10th inst.
The road had the privilege Of twelve
months to go through Perry County on
subscription OF $4,000. having been
granted three years from the time OF APP
plicaton. The management had leased
both sides OF the river for an incline, the
east bank having been obtained from X. j.
Hammond. Transfers would be made
across the river until the construction Of
the proposed bridge. Plans and speciica-
tons OF the bridge had already been for
warded TO Washington, and il is thought
that the prayer OF the petitioners would be
uranled.

Annual Statement ofthe Illinois Central
Railroad.

From the New York Financial Chronicle of satur'
day, March 2, 1881
We are nota little surprised at the favor
able outcome of the 1883 operations on the
Illinois Central, as disclosed in the annual
report just issued. As our readers are
aware, the company reduced its latest
semi-annual dividend from - to y per
cent, making, with the 81 previously paid,
6 per cent out OF the 1883 earnings. The
reduction was perhaps not unexpected,
but the more timid stockholders were
made quite uncomfortable by very conf
dent utterances on the part OF persons
claiming to be well informed, that even
per cent. had been far from earned.
What are the facts? IL is found that
while in one aspect the assertions had IN
them an appearance OF truth, in the real
sense they were totally misleading. Count
ing in full every charge for interest, rentals
and sinking fund, and also 500, ISL Tor
permanent improvements, and allowing,
furthermore, for the 9 per cent dividends,
the surplus dividend fund at the end OF
1888 stood at Sl63, 536, against Si36, 356 at
the beginning. Thus the shortage IL APP
parently s272, 800; but II the 500, ISL for
construction expenditures (which by many
companies would be made charge to cap
ital account) were taken out and also the
$4,000 for sinking fund (which diminishes
the debt 10 thatamount) the accounts OF the
year would come out about even-that is,
on that basis the 6 per cent. dividends
were Just earned. OF course this is not
nearly us satisfactoryas in the year proceed
ing, when per cent. dividends were paid
and s5S3,377 spent for improvements, leav-
ing the surplus dividend fund increased
Sl33,000. But no such result was looked
Tor in lSSS-in fact, company which can
show per cent. earned on forty millions
ofstock in year OF such extraordinary de-
preston Ms tine last, must be considered 10

Subioined THE APPEAL presents its
readers with reliable surveys of the base

look is bright in all OF them except
Nashville and Chattanooga. The base
ball spirit seems 10 have died out entirely
in Nashville, and the city that
once sent out Goldsby, Beard. Bittt-
man, O'Brien, Baker, Shellhassc, Mari,
and their brilliant associates is now content
to devote all its sportiye energies to racing.
II is n great pity, II would have been
such pleasure to wolop Nashville, but 1t
seems we will have TO forego that luxury
during the coming season. There is slight
hope in Chattanooga, but II Chattanooga
comes in Augusta or Savannah may join
the band.
In local circles the outlook Is rosy.
Manager Jim Woods has signed Billy
Smith, pitcher; Frank 0'Rourkc, of Phila.

Pitisheld, Mass, first baseman. Billy
Smith Is well known; the other two have
good records in the minor leagues where
they have been playing. Manager Woods
is negotiating for seven more men, and
will either get them In Philadelphia or ST.
