T. 3. BLACKSTONE.
The President and Principal Owner OF a
Great Railway.

Timothy b. Blackstone, president and
principal owner of the Chicago & Alton
road for more than thirty years. has
occupied a prominent position among
the great railroad magnates of the
west, and, il might be added. of the
country. In point of energy ability
and success he is the peer of any of
them. and from some points of view he
eXcels all the rest The Alton is about
the only road in the country of which
it can truthfully be said that there is
not drop of water in its stock or any
other of it's securities. 1t is the only
road whose total capitalization is con-
siderably less than its actual cost of
construction and it's intrinsic value. Mr..
Blackstone is a native Of Connecticut.
lie was born at Beauford March %.
He spent his youth on a farm and laid
the foundation of his education by at
tending the district school in the in
tervals when farm work did not claim
HIM. Later he was sent to one of the
best known Connecticut academies,
which he attended until his health
broke down and he was compelled to
seek occupation which would give him
outdoor exercise. He joined an engi-
neering corps engaged in surveying and
locating the New York & New Haven
road. He began as a rodman, but in
due time graduated as a thoroughly
trained. skilled and practical civil en-
gineer. He was appointed assistant en-
gineer of the Stoc&brid.se & Fittsfseld
road and was afterward connected in
the same capacity with the Vermont
Valley road. In 1851 he came west and
took charge of the construction of

quarters We're at LaSalle and the resi-
dents of that place elected him mayor.
which is the only political office he
ever held. In 1856 he was appointed
chief engineer Of the Joliet & Chicago
road, out of whscn the Chicago & AL
ton has actually grown He was elect
ed president in 1861 and three years
later, when the road became part of
the Alton system, he was chosen presi-
dent of the new company. At that time
the road had only $50 miles of tracks
Its present mileage is over 1000 miles
Mr.. Blackstone has always been alert
to adopt new improvements 1t was an

to the first Pullman sleeper and it was

that the rebels might be guilty Of petty
larceny should they rapidly march
down Rock creek and seize upon Hal
leck, who for various reasons was Bit
terly unpopular in Washington. The
President and his family were at their
summer residence. the Soldiers Home
on the outskirts of Washington, about
half way between the outer line of
Notifications at Fort Stevens and the
city. but on Sunday night. the 10TH
Secretary Stanton, finding that the
enemy was within striking distance Of
that point. sent out a carriage with
positive orders that the President
should return to the White House. Lin
coin, very much irritated and against
his will. came back to town. He was
subsequently greatly discomposed and
annoyed when he found that the assist
ant secretary of the navy, Capt G. v
Fox, had kept under orders a small
navy vessel in the Potomac for the
Presidents escape in case the rebel col
umn should succeed in piercing the line
of Notifications. The widest estimates
of the force of the invaders were made.
and flying rumors We're to the effect
that Early, Ewell, Imboden and Brock
inridge were in command of some forty
thousand men. AS matter of fact.
t4lCAC WIZ dCCOIQiUS TO the records,
not many more than twelve thousand
men. There was a vast amount of
hurrying to and fro between the war
department, the White House and the
exterior lines of defense, and the tele-
graph wire was constantly worked to
its fullest capacity. There We're not a few
domestic rebels in Washington who
looked on this connection with undis-
gused glee.
1t was probably believed in the north
at that time that President Lincoln was
greatly disturbed by the imminence of
the danger of the capture of Washing
ton, but 7 learned from his own lips
that his chief anxiety was that the in
vading forces might not be permitted TO
get away. Speaking of their escape
afterward, he said that Gen. Halleck's
manifest desire to avoid taking any re-
sponsibility without the immediate
sanction of Gen. Grant was the main
reason why the rebels, having threat
ened Washington. and sacked the
peaceful farms and villages of Mary
land. got off Scathless. If Lincoln was
the meddleSome marplot in military af-
fairs which some have represented him
to be. he would have peremptorily or
dered a sortie of the Union forces. then
numerously massed inside the defenseS
of Washington, but although he was

dent failure of all attempts at pursuit.
he kept his hands off.

Lincoln.s THEOLOGY.

Immediately after the earliest battles
of the war, most of the sick and wound
ed were brought to the Philadelphia
hospitals for treatment, and l was in
daily receipt of letters from my de-
nominational friends soliciting me to
visit husbands and brothers who were
among the sick and wounded AS much
of my time was thus occupied, and at
considerable expense, it was suggested
by the Hon. Henry d. Moore that ap-
plication be made for the position of
hospital chaplain, and it was on the
recommendation of Mr. Moore and Coy
ernor Curtin that the president made
the nomination.
Soon as it was announced in the pa
pers that my name had been sent TO
the senate for confirmation. self-con-
stituted committee of Young Chris
tians" % consulted with few others,
as bigoted as themselves. and volun-
teered their services to visit Washing
ton and try to induce the president to
withdraw the name.
1t so happened that when these gen
tlemen called upon the president Mr.
Covode was present and made known
the interview to a reporter and it thus
became public.
I'VE have called, Mr.. President. to
confer with you in regard to the APP
pointment Of Mr.. Shrigley Of Philadel-
phia as hospital chaplain.
The president responded: "Oh, yes,
gentlemen: l have sent his name to the
senate, and he will no doubt be con
firmed al an early day"
One of the young men replied. We
have not come to ask for the appoint-
ment, but to solicit you to withdraw
the nomination.
"Ah.' SAIL Lincoln, that alters the
case; but on what ground do you wish
the nomination withdrawn
The answer was: Mr. Shrigley is not
sound in his theological opinions
The president inquired ON what
question is the gentleman unsound o.
Response: He does not believe in
endless punishment not only SO, sir. but
he believes that even the rebels them
selves win finally be saved"
rs that 500" inquird the president.
The members of the committee both
responded: Yes. sir"
well, gentlemen. if that be so. and
there is any way under heaven where
by the rebels can be saved. then. for
Gods sake and their sal1es, let the man
be appointed. Lincoln Memorial

dinner was arranged in a southern
city in honor of a visitor from a north
efn state, and the host, when the cigars
We're lighted, began to rally his guest
by repeating some of the usual section
al jokes.
We now have a northern Yankee at
our mercy" he remarked, loosely, and
nope that he may not be inundated by
the presence of so many southerners.
We can assure him that revolvers and
bowie knives have been left in the ante
room and that he is safe, at least until
we get our hats and arms"
Everybody laughed and expected that
the visitor would respond to this ban
dinage by making use of his privilege
81 rldiculing southern peculiarities. He
surprised the company by speaking in
another vein.

me in Europe and | observed that
wherever we went he registered himself

erner.
Il thought it was a good example to
follow and invariably put myself down.
not as an northerner, but simply and
proudly as an American. What seems
to me singular is the fact that two men
who were content to travel all over
Europe as Americans, should fancy that
they are anything else in their own
country. 1 do not know why | should
be anything at home that / am not when
/ have crossed the sea and gone among

BY this time the company perceived
that they were to have something better
than old-time Yankee talk and section
al quips. They encouraged the visitor 10
continue by applauding him heartily.
He ended by making a common sense
appeal for a more general use of the
good old word American"
Let us not be proud of our common
country" he said. when we are abroad
among strangers and ashamed Of it
when we are at home. l am from the
north and you are in the south. but
there is no source of patriotic pride
open to you that is not mine as wen by
virtue of my birthright as American.
Nor can ! glory in anything that is not
yours also. If there be anything to be
ashamed of it is a reproach to us all"
The company rose when the visitor
sat down and joined in singing g Hail
Columbia" and He's a jolly Good
Fellow" They voted it one of the best
after-dinner speeches that they had ever
heard and congratulated him heartily
upon his success in substituting whole
some and stimulating patriotism in
place of the light diet of acrid sectional
tokes.-Youth's Companion.

tho negotiations to a favorable conclu-
sion. Whether the hardy Cherokee
mountaineers Will consent to ally them
selves with the Pamunkey jewellers at
tidewater without too flattering induce
ments is doubtful, hut the Pamunkeys
themselves are confident Of success and
hope for a speedy infusion Of new blood
into their tribe
This plight Of the Pamunkeys and
the peculiar conditions that give rise
to it are the more noteworthy from
the fact that the members of the tribe
are the lineai descendants Of the old
Powhatans Of the days Of Captain John
Smith and Pocohontas. dwelling on

TACT, is the Pamunkey blood, so unmiXed
through centuries with any other strain.
that the tribe is dying out and expert
encing the urgent need of a matrimo-
NAL alliance with some outside stock
TO preserve the root. The detrimental
effects of continued marriage be-
tween members of the tribe Lave be-
come apparent to them, but uasmuch
as they scorn a union with their white
as well as their negro neighbors, they
are IN a dilemma as to what steps they
should take to restore the blood of their
tribe and save themselves from ex-
tnction. 1t is a case like that of the
primitive Romans and Sabines, but
thus far no Sabine women have been
lured among them and captured.
Under these circumstances the head
men of the Pamunkey tribe have
opened negotiations with the eastern
band of Cherokee Indians in the ada
cent states of North Carolina, Tennes
see, Georgia and Alabama TO procure
brides for their unmarried sons and
husbands for their unmarried daugh-
ters. The male Pamunkeys understand
the eastern Cherokee women to be ex-
ceptionally pretty, modest and sensible,
and the female Pamunkeys regard the
eastern Cherokee braves as handsome,
loyal and Industrious, calculated to
make model husbands. Correspondence
was begun about a year ago with the
chiefs of the eastern CherolIees as the
