Southern railway and the Louisville and
Nashville system. II is an open secret that
the Southern, which owns a majority of
the Central stocks, is behind its suit for re-
instatement in the Georgia lease. II is said
that the Louisville and Nashville has a
strong case, and the Georgia railroad d.
rectors unanimously adopted a resolution
instructing their counsel to make a Vigor-
GUS fight to sever all connection with the
Central, and confirm the L. & N. in pos
session of the Georgia road as sole lessee.
II is further stated that President Milton
II. Smith, Of the Louisville and Nashville,
is confident OF success and wishes TO push
the suit to'a determination. Mr.. August
Belmont chairman Of the directory of the
Louisville and Nashville, and the domnat-
ing financial influence behind the system,
Is said 70 be on excellent terms with Mr..
j. Pierpont Morgan, the financial power
behind the Southern. During the visit OF
Mr. Smith to Atlanta this week II was
learned that the financial powers behind
the two systems were disposed to adjust
the matter amicably and that the case
might never be fought out in court. Moth
ing is known Of the basis of adjustment
or whether the negotiations nave got that
far, but It Is known that something Of the
kind Is contemplated.
There Is much curiosity to know the
cause of the effort by Vice President
Leonard Phlnizy to secure proxies from
dcofglA railroad STOCKHOLDERS, ana the
counter efforts OF a number OF directors
to prevent him from doing so This Is
especially interesting because President
Charles II. Phlnizy and Mr.. Jacob Phin-
izy have both signed a circular with other
directors asking stockholders not to put
their proxies IN the hands OF one man.
The directors suggest In this circular that
the collective wisdom OF majority OF the
directors who have been managing tho
property successfully for n number ~
years, may be moro safely trusted than
any one Of their number. and they sue-

Cow Birds Never Hesitate to Break
Into and Occupy Others Nests.
Stealthily and silently she prizes among the
thickets, following the trail of the warbler
sparrow or thrush like sleuth hound, says
Harper's Magazine. Yonder tiny yellow bird
with a jet black cheek fits hither with
whisp of dry grass in its beak and disappears
in the branches of a small tree close by my
studio door. Like the shadow of fate, the COW
bird suddenly appears and has doubtless fer
reted out her cradle.
In a certain grass bank not far from where
l am writing, at the foot of unsuspecting
fern, a song sparrow has built her nest. 1t lies
in the hollow, among the dried leaves and grass,
and is artfully merged with Its immediate
surroundings that even though you know its
precise location it eludes you. Only yesterday
the last finishing touches were made upon the
nest, and this morning, as l might have an
ticipated from the excess OF lisp and tWitter
of the mother bird, find the first pretty
broWn-spotted egg.
Surely our cow bird has missed this secret
haunt in her rounds. Be not deceived. With
in a half hour after the egg was laid the spar
row and its mate, returning from brief abb
sence to view their prize, discover two eggs
where they had been responsible for but one.
The providing foe had already discovered their
secret; for she, too, is IAN attendant on the
spring and had been simply hiding her time.
The parent birds once out Of sight, she had
stolen quietly upon the nest, and after a very
brief interval had as shyly retreated, leaving
her questionable compliments, presumably
with a self-satisfied chuckle. The intruded
egg is SO like its fellow as to be hardly dis
tinguishable, except in its slightly larger
size. It is doubtful whether the sparrow, in
particular, owing to its similarity, ever real

PRINCE OF WALES.

stephen Fiske. in recalling when
the Prince of Wales Was in America
writes in the Ladies' Home Journal
that on September II. 1860. he entered
the United States for the first time,
riding TO the American side for fare
well view at Niagara. Then, after the
usual ceremonies az Hamilton, the
Prince crossed to Detroit, on Septem-
Der 2Olh. and became the guest OF the
people of this Republic. The Duke OF
Newcastle had insisted that the Prince.
as Baron Renfrew, should be received
by the people. not officially by the
Government. and this arrangement was
carried out during his tour. 1t seemed
as if all the people, headed by the Gov
eruor of Michigan. had rushed to wei
come him at Detroit. The crowds were
so dense that the royal party could not
get to their hotel through the main
streets. There was a similar crowd at
Chicago. which was reached two days
later. St. Louis. where the Prince had
a splendid reception on the Fair
Grounds and opened the Western Acad-
emy of Arts. and Cincinnati. where an
other tremendous crowd awaited MIN,
and he danced all night at another ball,
made the Prince glad to get TO the COM
parative quiet OF washington where
he was introduced by Lord Lyons TO
President Buchanan and Miss Harriet
Lane. and was elegantly, but private
". entertained at the White House"
Subsequently he visited Richmond,
philadelphia, New York. Boston ana
some other Eastern cities, in nearly
ALI of which he was sumptuously en-
tertained. and was the guest OF honor
at receptions. balls, dinners, etc. On
October goth the Prince re-embarked
from Portland. Maine, for England.
Owing to a severe storm his ship, Hero
had been driven out of her course,
was several days overdue, and her Of
ficers and crew were reduced to scant
salt fare. England was greatly alarm
ed for the safety of the young Prince,
and rejoiced when the Hero finally
landed him safe on his native shore.
