RUMBLINas OF THE RAIL.

A lease, covering a greater period OF time
than any lease ever seen in these parts, was
filed yesterday. 1t reminds one OF the old
Irish leases, which were TO run as long "as
grass grows or water runs" The Illinois
Central Railroad has leased the Mississippi
d Tennessee Railroad, from Memphis TO
Grenada, q distance OF 100 miles. The
lease is from April |, 1880, TO July /, 2,2S2,
which IL 1913 years. IL was popularity sup
posed that lease was not valid in this
country for more than ninety-nine years
and 1854 days, or one day less than 100
years.

Old Acquaintance

Let me tell you pretty story. Among the
visitors to New York during the centennial
celebration from the South was gentleman
on the staff of the Governor of Virginia. He
had written to a friend To engage horse for
him to ride during his stay in New York. A
white horse, housekeeping and slender-limb-
ed was selected, and on the morning appoint
ed was led in company with a coal-black
steed to the spot where the Virginia gentle
men and friend were ready TO mount,
when 10 the black horse paved the ground,
shook his head showed great uneasness, and
altogether behaved so remarkably that he at
tracted great attention.
"As sure asI live" said the rider of the
white steed to his companion. you are mount
ed on Black Diamond, my own old horse "
Nonsense ~ said the other equestrian,
you wouldn't know Black Diamond now
and he wouldn't know you"
BY this time little throng Of spectators
had gathered, interested in the scene Black
Diamonds saddle was taken off, and under
it was discovered an old scar and little tuft
of white hair, which proved his identity be.
yond doubt. When his old master mount
ed him the horse fairly quivered with delight
and gave cry of gladness. All through the
centennial week there were two happy beings
together, man and a horse, and a horse
sometimes shows intelligence so nearly
human that one cannot but be glad when a
great pleasure falls into the life of this faith
tul friend of man.
