Money in This Road.
IFrom the New York Times.


There is at least one railroad ia the
country that pays more than u fair re-
turn upon investment. 1t runs from q
point on the Iron Mountain railroad,
in Arkansas, to Hot Springs, in thgt
state. 1t is twenty-five miles long, and
it cost $500, 600 in tho usual way. 1t
was narrow gauge when it was built,
seventeen years ago, and IL is narrow
gauge to-day, though it is the intention
OF its owners to change the gauge soon,
as Hot Springs loses that sort of pa
tient who is too weak to stand the IA
iigue Of even single transfer.
On tho trout of each locomotive OF
the Hot Springs road is the coat Of
arms Of the owner, Joseph Reynolds.
1t is a large diamond, inside OF which
is the letter "J," To the southwestern
public, and over a large portion of the
west also, Mr.. Reynolds is known as
"Diamond Joe," not on account of the
diamonds he doesn't but is able to wear
but on account OF his cOat-ut-arns, or,
as he calls, il his trademark. Before he
was known as Diamond Joe the owner
of the title got his start in life from tho
man who first put Jay Gould on his
feet. With tho money advanced by
Xedac Pratt, late OF rrattsvilIp, this
State, Jay Gould went into the tan
nicg business, not in Wall street, but
in Sullivan county, and Joseph lSey-
noids cEigratcd TO Wisconsin and un.
dertook tho raising Of wheat. lie raised
lots Of it, ard gave his wheat Il marke'
reputation by making The sacks il
which il was packed with largo dia
mond inside Of which was stamped !

Joe, has stuck to him, and nc is cv;
IDENTIFY proud Of it. Tor such properl,

Woods had also expressed the same

With an opening AGO feet wide "a

Though the opening. These large
tows did not so farther down the river
than New Orleans, and, therefore, a
bridge below the city weuld in no way

any one who knewanything of marine
matters would understand how easy 1t.

HOW RAMS FIGHT.
Dueling According to the Code Of Their
Royal iSheepishnesscs.
Irhe CoYnhiil aiagazine. /

| I,rhe Cornhiil IagaZine.l
1 1t may perhaps throw some light or
the obscure causes of the stupidity o
sheep to see them fight. To watcl
two rams engage in u duel, which
they do in II most gentlemaniy man
ner, as II it We're as much matter o
etiquette as an engagement witt
swords in the envfrons of Paris, Is
better than most farces nowadays.
| Perhaps there are some ten or twenty
| rams in yard or corral, and presently
two put their heads together. Proba-
bly, they are having a conversation,
and in il some debaiab!e matter crops
up, for one shakes his head impatient
~ US il doubling the word Of his inter
locutor. The insulted ram looks up,
advances a step or two, and they rat
lie their horns together. Instantly all
the other gentlemen gather round as
the two intending combatants march
backward step by step with an admir-
able s!owness and deliberation. They
arc the two knights at the ends OF the
lists. There Isl an iustant's pause, and
then they hurl themselves violently
forward to meet forehead to forehead
with shock that ought to break their
skulls.
Then the solemn backward march
recommences, tho pause is made, and
the two belliserents leap ut each other
once more, and the terrible thud Is
heard again. Sometimes they run ten
courses before one turns dizzy and de-
clines the battle, but oftener five or
six blows make tho thinner skulled
turn away, to be contemptuously
hustled in the rear by the copqueror.
Occasionally the sight OF one set OF
duelists inspires theuuCccupicd lockers
on with a noble ardor, and couple after
couple join in to march backward side
by side and rush forward in line to
meet the opposing forces. IL seems TO
me that there is more interest in this
than the mere farce of the display.
However such habit arose it can
hardly now be advantageous to the
species, and must tend to lower them
in the scale of intellect, for while the
thickest sku!led remain lords, those
with the most room for brains often
get their craniums cracked with fatal
results.
This may help to explain the very
uncommon idldcy of domesticated
sheep, just rs the duello among Aus
tralian blackfellows may throw light
on the dull, thick medicines of some
OF the native humans in that country.
For their favorite method of dueling-
at least il was that OF which i heard
most-is 10 take two clubs, and, having
drawn lots in some manner for The first
blow, to strike the loser on tho head as
he bends down with the utmost force
possible. II tha. blow is not decisive
and it is not always SOFT is the turn
OF the other man TO do his best, ana so
on until a skull is cracked.

Diamond Joe has never been disturbed

tained what it supposed to be tho only
feasible right Of way for an opposition
road. Part of 1t lay through gorge
90 feet broad, with rocks towering
on each sids to heights ranging
from 100 to 200 feet. The route
was surveyed, aud there were
signs that the company really meant
business. Then the Missouri Pacific
stepped In. For reasons known to tho

searched the surrounding country, aud
found better route than the Men,

Then tho Memphis aud Little Rock,
discovering that II could not sell Its
