TAKE HENCE THE BOWL.
Take hence the bowl, though smiling

The balmy drop beguiling
Too often eCds In tears,
Take henca those trimming glasses,
They have no charm for me.
Their boosted joy soon passes
To end in sorrow sea.
Take hence thu bright deranter,
Which some unwisely drain;
I've known the gay ~enchauter

To scatter woes wherever

Then touch il. taste il, never,

And curse the bliss you covet
Mid youthful mirth and glee;

Quiet reigned at the Jersey City station Of the
Central Railroad OF New-Jersey yesterday. The
railway company's special officers guard
at the gates Of the train platform. None OF the
commuters appeared with packages and no one
excluded. Captain Cox and a squad OF twenty
policemen were duty. but Police Justice Doug

that the war is over and there is no further need

c. f. Topping. general superintendent OF the
United States Express Company, was asked by
Tribune reporter yesterday to denote the exact
status Of the trouble between the employees or the
Central Railroad OF New-Jersey and certain Of the
passengers. arising from an attempt to stop the
carrying Of bundles by the latter.
In reply Mr.. Topping gave out the following
statement
We thank YOU for an opportunity to set ourselves
straight in The New-York Tribune. First, de-
sire 10 saw that neither the railroad company nor
the express company have at any time attempted
TO interfere with the usual or customary privileges
OF commuters relative the carriage Of packages
of personal or family supplies. Next thar TO IN
structjons nave been issued by the railroad COM
pany or the express company to. In any way IN
terfere with any passengers, as SUCH on the trains
of the Central Railroad Company OF New-JerseS-
Tie express company has only attempted 10 pre-
vent Legitimate expressmen from doing business ,s
in oDposition to II the passenger trains OF the
Central Railroad Company of New-Jersey
"The express company desires the friendship
ond natronare OF all the residents along the line
Of the roads over which it operates, and 1t could
not exnecr This If it interfered with the personal
riphrs or privileges Of passengers. The express
Company has an undoubted legal and moral right
m nrotect its interests the same as private indi-
yidi,al or other company. The statements wnich
have been published from time to time relative 10
the interference with commuters and o,her regular
travellers on the Central Railroad were doubtless
originated by persons who are interested IN me ~,
carnef-bae expressmen who were deceived by
their statements. The fact that several thousand
commuters carry parcels on the Central trains
every day can easily be demonstrated oy oo'e'''
ton. x r,, all
dropped out of tho business. and We propose 70
continue our presen, line of action in order 10 pro-
tect our interests using such methods as appear
In answer to a specific question Mr.. Topping SAID
that me number OF the carpet baggers was thII-
tv-six few months ago. and had now oeen re-
duced three
