0f the line West from Omaha are now completed,and
the work is going on through the Winter. As thedis-
tanee betWeen the finished portion of the Union and
Central Pacific Railroads is now less than 400 m.,
and both companies are pushing forward the win]:
with great energy, employing over 30,000 men, there
can be no doubt that the whole ‘
GRAND LINE TO THE PACIFIC
Will be openedfor Business in the Summer of 1809.
The Regular Government Commissioners have pro-
nounced the Union Pacific Railroad to be FIRST
CLASS in every respect, and the Special Commission
appointed by the President says:— '
“Taken as a whole, THE UNION PACIFIC RAIL-
ROAD HAS BEEN WELL CONSTRUCTED, AND
severance with which the work has been urged for-
ward, and the rapidity with which it has been execut-
ed are without parallel in history, andin grandeur
and magnitude of undertaking it has never been
equalled." The Report states that any deficiencies -
that exist are only those incident to all new roads,
and that could not have been avoided without mate-
ially retarding the progress of the great Work. Such
deficiencies are supplied by all railroad companies af-
ter the completion of the line, when and wherever ex~
pcrienoe shows them to be necessary. The report
concludes by saying that “the country has reason to
congratulate itself that this great work of nstiousl'
importance is so rapidly approaching completion un-
der such favorable auspices.” The Company now have
in use 13'! locomotives and nearly. 5,000 cars of all de-
scriptions. A large additional equipment is ordered'to'
be ready in the Spring. The grading is nearly com-
pleted, and ties distributed for 120 miles in advance
of the western end of the track. Fully 120 miles of
iron for new track are now delivered west of the Mis-
souri River, and 90 miles more are on route. The to-
tal expenditure for construction purposes in advance
- of the completed portion of the road is not-less than
eight inllllon dollars.
Besides a donation from the Government of 12,800
acres of land per mile, the Company is entitled to u
subsidy in U. S.’ Bonds on its line as completed and
accepted, at the average rste of about 819,000 poi-mils,
according to the diflculties encountered, for which
the Comment takes a second lien as security. The
Company have already received 822,158,000 of this
subsidy. of which 81,280,000 was paid Dec. 0th, and,
$040,000 Dec. 14th. '-
chern‘t A1d--Securlty 0f the Bonds.
'By its charter, the Company is permitted to issue its
own FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS to the same
amount as the Government Bonds, and no more.
These Bonds are a First Mortgage upon the whole
road and all its equipments. Such a mortgage upon
' what, for a long time, will be the only railroad con
necting the Atlantic slid Pacific States, takes the
highest rank as a safe security. The earnings from
the way or local business for the year ending J one 30
1868, on an average of iti'miles, were over FOUR
MILLION DOLLARS, which. after paying all expen:
ses,'were much more than sufficient to cover all in-
terest liability upon that distance, and the comings
hr the last five monthshsye been $9,380,810. They
would have been greater, if the road‘hsd not been
taxed to its utmost capacity to transport its own ms-
tcrlals for construction. The income from the great
passenger travels, China heights, and the supplies'
for the new Rocky Mountain States and Territories
must be ample for'all interest and other liabilities

ADVENTURES'OF A
NEW YEAR’S EVE :
‘ —on- ' ‘
- THE BUCKLE 0F DIAMONDS.
[Concluded from last week]
In the-dancing-hall next to the card-'room
Philip had looked at his watch, anddiscov-
ercd that the time of his appointment with
Rose at St. Gregory's had nearly come. ' He
was by no means sorry at the prospect of
giving back his. silk mantle and plumedbon-
net to his substitute, for he began to find
high life not quite to his taste. As he was
going to the door, the negro once more cams
. up to him, and whispered, “Your Highness,
Duke Berri-nan seeks for you everywhere.”
Philip shookliis head impatiently and but-
. ried out, followed by the negro. When they
got to the ante-chamber, the negro cried out,
“By Heaven, here comes the Duke -!”-‘and
slipped backinto the hall. '
Atoll black mask walked fiercely up to
Philip, and said, “ Stay a moment, sin—I’ve
a word or two to say to you,—I ’vs been -
seeking for yOu long.”
“Quick then,” said Philip, “for I have no
time to lose.” . ' .
V “I would not waste a moment, sin—I have
sought you long enough; you owe me satis-
faction, you have injured-me infamously.” ,
“N at that I am aware of.” ' -
“You don’t know me, perhaps,” said the,
r
— Duke, lifting up his- mask,—“now that you
see me, your own conscience will save me ,
anymore words. I demand satisfaction.—
You and the cursed Salmoiii have deceived
me 1” ' ‘ - '
“I know nothing about it,” said Philip.
“You got up that shameful scene in the
cellar of the baker’s daughter. It was at
“youfmifigmmirmrcomncr mmmn‘
assault upon me with a ‘cudgc ." _
“There’s’not a word of truth inzwhat you
soy.” _ .
“What i—youdcny it 2 The Lady Blank.
enswcrsd, the Marshal’s lady, was an eye:
witness 0f it all, and she has told me every
circumstance.” ,
'“She has told your Grace a fancy tale,-—-I
have had nothing to do with it,—ifyou made
an ass of yourself in a baker‘s cellar, that
was your own fault.” *
“I ask, once more, will you give me satis-
faction? If not, I will exposeyou. Follow
me instantly to the king. You shall either
fight with me, or go to his Majesty.” ,
Philip was mm placed. ‘ “Your Grace," he
said, “I have no wish either to fight you, or
to go to the king.”
This was indeed the truth, . for he was
afraid he should be obliged to unmask, and
would be punished, of course, for the part he
had played. He therefore tried to get off by
every means, and watched the 'door to seize
a favorable moment for efi‘ccting his escape.
The Duke, on the other hand, observed the
uneasiness of the prince (as he thought him)
and waxed more valorous every minute. At
last he seizsdpoor Philip by the arm, and
was dragging him into the hall.
' “What do you want with me i” said Phil'-
‘ip, sorely frightened, and shook off the
‘ Duke;
“To the king. He shall hear how shamol
fully you insult a guest at his court.”
“Very good,” replied Philip, whosaw no
hope, of escape, except by c0ntinuing the
character of the Prince. “Very good. Come
then, I am ready. By good luck I happen
to have the agreement with me between you
And the baker’s daughter, inwhicli you
promise-'4’ ,
“Nonsense! stufl” ‘snswcred' the Duke,
“that was only a piece of fun, which may be ,
sllowedsurely with a baker’s daughter.—
Shovv it ifyou like, I will explain all that."
. But appeared that the Duke was not quit: ‘
so sure of the explanition, for he no longer
urged Philip to go before the king. He how-
ever, insisted more earnestly than ever on
geting into his carriage,= and going that mo-
ment—Heaven lmowl where—to decide the
matter with svvord . and pistol,.—an arrange.
ment which did not suit our watchman at
all. Philip pointed out the danger and-eon-
sequeuees of such a proceeding, but the Duke
overruled all objectiods. He had made eve-
ry preparation, and when it was over he
wbuld leave the city that same night.
T‘lf yOu are .not the greatest coward in '
Europe, you will followme to the. carriage

“I—am—no——Prince !”—at last stuttered
Philip, now driven-to extremities.
“Yen are} . Everybody recognized you at
the bsll,-I know you by your list. ‘ You
sha’n’t escape me." _ ' - ‘
, Philip lifim up his in
Duke his face. ,
‘ “Now, then, am I a. prince !’
Duke Herman, when he saw the ecunte-V
nines of a man he had never seen before,
started back, and stood gazing as ifhs had
been petrified. To have revealed his secrets
to a perfect stranger! ’T was horrible be-
yond conception !. But before he had recov-
ered from his. surprise, Philip had opened

wrapping them in.his silk mantle, rushed
carrying them under his am. There stood
Rose already, in a corner of the high church
dear, Expecting his arrival. '
“Ah Philip, dear Philip,” she said, press-
ing his hand, “how happy you have made
me ! how lucky we are! I was very uneasy
to get away from my friend’s house, and I
htve. been waiting here this quarter of an
hour," but never cared for the frost and new
—my happiness was so great: I am so glad
you he come back."
“And I too, dea'r Rose, thank God that I
have got back to you. May the eagles fly
people. But I’ll tell you some other time of
the scenes I ’ve had. Tell me now, my dar-
ling, hovv you are, and whether you lov
me still!” ,
“Ah! Philip, you’ve become a great man
now, and it yvould be better to ask if you
‘still care anything for me."
“Thunder! How came you to know so
soon that I’ve been a great man i” ‘
“Why you told me yourself. Ah! Philip,
Philip, I only hope you won’t be proud, now
that you’ve grown so rich. I am but apoor
girl, and not god enough for you now,—
and I have. been thinking, Philip, if you for.
sake me, I would rather have had you con-
tinue a poor gardener. I should fret myself
to death if you forsook me.”
“What are you talking about, Rose? ’Tis'
true that for one half hour I have been a
prince, ’t was but a joke, and I want no mOre
man again, and as poor as ever,’ To be sure
I have five thousand dollars in my p'oclmt,
that I got from a Mameluke,—thst would
make us rich, but unfortunately they donft
belong to me i” , ' . ,_
“You’re speaking nonsense, Philip,”'said
Rose, giving him the purse "of gold that the
Prince had given hér,—“Here, take back
your money, ’t is too heavy for my bag.”
“What should I do with all this gold?
Where did you get it, Rose 1?” ‘
“You won it in the lottery, Philip.”
“What! have I won? and they told me
at the ofiice my- number was not yet out,—I
had hoped and wished that it might come to
give us a setting up in 'thc world,—-but gar-

decidedly in the wrong. He confessed he
was to blame for everything, and told her
that he had been at a masked ball; and that

he had to undergo a rigid examination—.—

not a good swimmer. Rose did not consider
Philip the best swimmer in the world,—it is
difleult to say why. He denied having
danced, but when she asked him he could
not deny having talked with some feminine
masks. He related the whole story to her,
yet would constantly add: “The ladies were
of high rank, and they took me for another."
Rose donbted'him a little, but she suppres-
cd her resentment until he said they took
him for Prince Julian. Then she shook her
little head, and still more when she heard
that Prince Julian was transformed into a
watchman while Philip was at the ball.—
But he smothered her doubts by saying the,
in a few minutes the Prince would appear at
St. Gregory’s church, and exchange his
watch-coat for the mask,
Rose, in return, related all her adventure:

kiss— . V . .

you, nor, I am sure, did you kiss me in re-
turn."
. “I am sure ’t was intended for you, then,"
replied Rose, whilst her lover rubbed his

seemed to break in' on her, and she exclaim-

‘. Philip was certain it was, and cried: “The
rascal! He stole my kis’s‘esr—now I under
stand! That’s the re'sson why he wanted to
take my place and gave me his mask 1” And
now the stories he had heard at the masque-
rade come into Philip’s head. He asked if
anybody had called at her mother’s to offer
her money,—if any gentleman was much
about Milk Street; if she saw any one watch-
ing her atchureh; but to all his questions
her answers were so satisfactory, that it was
impossible to doubt of her total ignorance Of
all the machinations-of the rsscally courtlers.

was now forgiven, in Consideration of this

“Ah! sir," said Philip, “Isl-e are your

' “Quick! quick i" cried the prince, and
threw the watchman’s apparel on the snow,
and fastened on his mask, hat, and cloak.
Philip returned to his old beaver and cost,
and took up the lintern and stuff. Rose had

“That’s the reason we take you. Come.”
The Prince stepped, forward. "Let the
man go, good people,” he said, and searched
in all his pockets for his purse. A; he found
it nowhere, he was going to whisper to Phil-
ip to give it him, but the poliCe tore them
apart, and one of them shouted,4“0n! We .
Can’tstop to talk here.”
“The masked fellow must go with us, too,
he is suspicious looking.” '
“Not so,” exclaimed Philip, “y'ou are in
search of the watchman. Here! am, if you
choose to answer for inking me from . my
duty. But. let this gentleman go.”
“We don’twsnt sn'y lessons from,ou in

“The damsel, too 1’” asked Philip, “you
don’t want her surely?”
'“No, she may go; but we must see her face

“She is the daughter of WidoW Bitmer,"
said Philip .- snd was not a little enraged
when the whole party took Rose to a lamp,
and gazed on her tearful face.
“Go home, Rose, and don’t be alarmed on
my account,” said Philip, trying to come
'fort her, “my conscience is clear."
But Rose sobbed so As to move even the
policemen to pity her. The Prince, availing
himself of the opportunity, attempted to
spring out of his csptor’s hands, but one of
the men was a better jumper than he, and
put an obstacle in his way.
“Hallo!” cried the seggesnt, “this fellpw’s
conscience is not quite so clear,—hold him _

"‘Whithe'r i" said the Prince.
“Directly to the Minister of Police,”

“For Heaven's sake, let the gentleman go,”
cried Philip; “I give you My word he is a.

While the contesteabout the Prince went
on, a carriage with eight homes, and 0111-.

Julian was taken, by surprise, for in the
inquirer he recognized'Duke. Herman.
“Answer me,” roared Herman, in a voice
of thunder. , '
Julian shook his head and made signs to
the Duke to desist, but he pressed the ques-
tion home upon him, being determined to
know who it was 'he had accosted at the
masquerade. He asked the policemen.—
Thcy stood with. beads uncovered, and told
him they had orders to bring the Watchman
instantly before the Ministerof Police, for
he had been singing wicked verses,—they
had heard some of them. That the mask
had given himself out as some great lord of
the court,but that they believed that to be a
false pretence, and therefore considered it
their duty to take him into custody. ‘
“The man is not of the court,” answered
the Duke. “take my word for that. He in-
sinuated himself clandestinely into the ball.
and passed himself ofi‘ for Prince Julian. I
forced him to unmask, and detected the im-
pastor, but he escaped me. I have informed
the Lord Chambelain,—ofi‘ with him to the
palace! You have made a fine prize!”
With these words the Duke strofle back ‘
to his carriage, and once more urging them
not to let the villains escape, gave orders to
drive on. » ~ '.
The Prince saw no chance left. To reveal
himself now would be to make his night’s
adventures the talk of the whole city. ‘He
thought it better to disclose his incognito to
the Chamberlain, or the Minister of Police.
“Since it must be so, come on then,” he
said; and the party marched foi'wsrd,kecp-
ing a firm hand on the two prisoners.
Philip was not sure whether he was be-
witclied, or ‘whether the whole business was
not a dream, for it was. avnight such as he
had never passed before in his life. He had
nothing to blame himself for- except that
he had changed his clothes with the Prince,
and then; whether he would or no, been-
forced to support his character. He felt
pretty safe, for it was the princly watchman
who had been at fault, and he saw no occa-
sion 'for his being committed. His heart
beat, however, when‘they came to the palace.
His coat, horn andstatf were taken fi-om
him. Julian spoke a few words to a yoimg
nobleman, and {immediately the policemen
weré.sent away: the Prince achndsd the
stairs and Philip had. to follow.
“Fear nothing,” said Julian, and left him.
Philip was taken to a little ante-room where
he had to Wait a good while. At last one of
the royal grooms came to him, and said,
“Come this way, the king would see you."
Phillip was distracted with fear. His
knees shook so that he could hardly walk.
He was led into a splendid chamber. The
old king was sitting at a table, and laughing
loud and long ; near him stood Prince Julian
without s mask. Besides these there was
nobody in the room.
The king looked at Philip with I
,humored expression. V
“ Tell me all—without missing
—that you have done 'to-nigh'i"
' Philip took courage from the condescen-
sion of the old king, and told the whole sto-
ry from beginning to end. He had the
good sense, hovvever, to conceal all he had
heard among the conflicts that could turn
to the prejudice of the Prince. The king

'son, “ ’tis well for you that you told me noth-

ministers of Finance and Police,I must have
further proofs of what you say. Go now,
and give some present to the gardener. He
has shown more discretion in.your chame-
ter than you have in his.” ,
The Prince took leave of the king, and
having changed his dress in an ante-room,
sent for Philip to go to his palace with him;
there he made him go over—word for word
-—everything that ‘ had occurred. - .Whon
Philip had finished his narrative, the Prince
clapt him on the shoulder, and said, “ Philip,
listen! YOu’re' a sensible fellow. I can con-
fide in you, and I am satisfied with you.
What you have done in my name with the
Chamberlain Pilzou, the Countess Bonsu,
the Marshal and his wife, Colonel Kalt, slid
the Minister of Finance—I will maintain—
as if I had done it myself. . But, on the 001-,

doings with the horn and staff. As a penalty
for your verses, you shall-lose your oflco of
watchman. You shallbe my head-gardener
from this date; and have charge of my two
gardens of Heimleben and Quellonthsl. The
money I gave your bride she shall keep as
her marrage portion,—and _I give you the
order of- Marshal Blankenswerd for five
thousand dollars, as a mark of my regard.
Go, now; be faithful and true i”. ‘
Who could be happier than Philip? He
almost flew to Rose’s house. She had not
yet gone to bed, but sat with her mother he-
side a table, and was weeping. He threw
the purse on the table, and ssid,-“R0se,-there
is thy dowry! and here are five thousand
dollars, which are mine! As a watchman
Ihave transgressed, and shall therefore lose
my father‘s situation; but the day after to-
