nan LETTER.
I’m sitting alone by the fire.-
Just as I came from the dance,
In a robe even you would admire.
It cost a cool thousand in France;
I'm be-diamouded out of all reason,
My hair is done up in a cue;
In short, air. "the belle of the season”
Is wasting an hour on you.
A dozen engagementsl’ve broken;
I left in the midst of tbcsct;
Likewise a proposal, hnlf spoken,
That waits—on the stairs—for me yet.
They say he’ll be rich, when he grows up,
And then he adores me indeed,
And you. sir—are turning your nose up,
Threethonsand miles off—as you read.
“ And how do you like my position i"
“ And what do you think of New'York i”
“ And now in my higher ambition,
With whom do I waltz, dirt, or talk 7"
“ And isn't it nice to have riches,
And diamor ds, and silks, and all that i”
" And arn’t it a change from the ditches
And tunnels at Poverty Flat 7"
Well, yes—if you saw us out driving
' Each day in the Park, four-in-hand—
'If you saw poor dearmamma contriviug
, To look supernaturally grand“
If you saw papa's picture, as- taken
, By Brady, and tinted at that—
You’d never suspect he‘suld'bucou
And hour at Poverty Flat.
And yet, Just at this moment, while sitting
In the glare of the grand chaudiller— '
In the hustle and glitrer befitting
The “ finest solree of the year "
In the mists of a gauze dc Chambtry,
" . And the hum of the smalllest of talk—
’ Somehow, Joe, I thought of the “ Ferry,”
And the dance we had on “The Fork.”
0f Harrison's harm-with its muster
0f fiags.festooned over the wall;
or thccaudles thgtshedtheir 'soit‘ luster
And tallow on head-dress-snd shawl;
Of the steps that‘we took to one fiddle.-
Of the dress Of my queer vls-aAvls,
And how I once went down ther middle
- With the old man that shot Sandy McGee.
' Of the moon that was quietly sleeping
On the bill when the time came to go;
Of the few baby-peaks that were pespin g ‘
From under their bed-clothes of snow ;.
Of that ride that to me was the rarest,
0f'—the something you said at the gate;
" Ah. Joel then I wasn’t an heiress
To " the best pay ng lead in the State.”
Well, well, it’s all past, yet it’s funny,
To think as I stood in the glare
01' fashion and'beanty and money,
' That I should be thinking. right there,
0f some one who breasted high water,
And swam the North Fork, and all that,
To dance with old Follnshee’s_daughter.
The Lilly of Poverty Flat. '
But goodness. what nausense I’m writing,
(Momma says my taste still is low),
Instead of my triumphs reciting
I‘m spooning on Joseph-heigh be!
And I’m to be “finished" by travel,
Whatever’s the meaning of that-,—
0, why did papa strike pay gravel
In’drlfting on Poverty Flat. ‘
Good night—here's the end of my paper;
Good night—if the lo'ngitude please—
For may be while wasting my paper,
Your sun’s climbing over the trees;
But know, if you haven’t got riches.
And are poor, dearest Joe, and all that,
a That my heart’s With you there in the ditches)
And you’ve struck i.—on Poverty Flat.
HIS ANSWER 1‘0 “HER LETTER.”
Being asked by an intimate party— ‘
Which the same I would term as a friend—
Which his health it were vain to call hearty,
_ Since the mind to deceit it might lend;
For his am it was broken quite recent,
» And has something gone wrong with his lung—
j Which is why it is proper and decent
- I should write what-h'e runs cfi‘ his tongue:
First. he says, Miss, he’s read through yourietter
To the end -and the end came too soon. ‘ -
That aslight illness kept him your debtor,
(Which for weeks he was wild as ‘a loan)
' That his spirits are as buoyant as yours is:
That with you, Miss, he challenges Fate
(Which the language that invalid uses
At times—it were vain to relate.)
And he says that the mountains are fairer,
For once being hid in your thought;
.' That each rock holds a wealth that is rarer
Than ever by gold-seeker sough’t—
(Which are words he would put in these pages,
By a party not given to guile; ' .
Which the same not, at date, paying wages,
Might produce in thg sinful a smile.)
Haemembcrs the ball at the Ferry,
And t ie ride, and the gate, and the vow,
And the rose that you gave him—that very
Same rose he is treasuring now;'
(Which his blanket he’s kicked on his'trnnk,Mis 5,
And insists on his legs being free;
And his language'to me from his bunk, Miss,
Is frequent and painful and free.)
H6 hopes you are wearing no willows,
But are happy and gay all the while;
That he knows—(which the dodging of pillows
_ Imparts but small case to the style,
And the same you will pardon)—-he knows, Miss,
That, though parted by many a mile,
Yet, were he lying under the snows; Miss,
They’d melt into tears at_ your smile. '
And you’ll still think. of him in your pleasures,-
' In your brief twilight dreams of the past.
In this greue-laurel spray, that he treasures,
‘ It was plucked wheré your parting was last.
in this specimen—but a small trifle—
._ It‘will do for a pin for your shawl;
‘ (Which the truth not to wickedly stifle,
Was his last week’s “ clean up ”-— and his all.)
_ He’szasleep—which the same‘might seem strange,
Miss, ‘ ~ '
Were it not that I scorn to deny ,
That I raised his last dose, for a change, Miss,
In view that his fever was high.
But he lies there quite fiaceful and pensive;
And, now, .my respetr, Miss, to you;
Which, my language. a though comprehensive,
. Might seem to be freedom—it’s true. -
Which I have a small favor to ask you. .
As concerns a bull-pup, which the same—
If the task would notovertaslr you—
‘Ydu would please to. procure for me, game,
And send per Express to the Flat, Miss,
Whicn' they say- York is' famed for the breed,
Which though words of deceit may be that—Miss,
I’ll trust to your taste. Miss, indeed.
P. S.—Wblch this same interfering
In other folks’, ways I despise—
Yet, if it so be I was hearing
That it’s just empty pockets as lies
Detwlxt you audJoseph—lt follers
That, having no family claims,
Here's my pile—which its six hundred dollars,
As is, yours, with sweets,

THE New VANDERBILT DEPOT. —The
great Vanderbilt Railroad Depot at Forty-
second street and Fourth-avenue is rapid y
approaching completion. All the exterior
is completed, except the roofing of_the tur-
rets, a small portion of the Forty-third street
front, and the vault coverings. About one
third of the roof surface is of malleable plate
lass. This, with the white paint on all the
iron work, as a reflector, will render the
apnea within below brilliant with light..The
‘lracks inside—of which there are ten—
arc bein laid and filled in with Russ pave-
ment. he platforms of solid blue, stone
masonry, are also in course of construction.
They are about two feet above the track lev-
el and of ample width. The glass is in all
the office windows, and joiners are finish-
ing the wood work of the rooms. An, ex-
ceedipgly light and prettily designed iron
'verandah covering the entire sidewalk. ex-_
tends along a portion of Forty-second street.
The necessary track and other work on the
outside approaches is also beino' completed.

CUMULATIVE VOTING.—The upper branch
of the Pennsylyvania legislature has passed
a bill which authorizes the cumulative sys-
tem of voting in all the boroughs of the com-
monwealth at elections for members of iOWD
councils. In all boroughs wherein the num-
ber of such members is now fixed at five.
the bill re uires that six shall hereafter be
elected.- Woters may then either dis-
tribute their ballots among six candidates,
or cumulatc upon one or more, as they shall
choose. This bill, should it pass the other
branch of the legislature,will permit a more
general testing of this particular plan .of mi-
nority representation than has hitherto
been'possible.—-Pha'ladclphta Ledger.

“ Westward no 1”
Returns from the Land Agents of the
activity in the sale of its lands eutircly‘un-
precedentcd. To this fact may be traced,in
part. the unwonted interest and confidence
_ in their Land Grant Bonds 'now manifested
by capitalists. The new developments and
the rush of new settlers along its line age
facts as interesting a's‘they are encouraging
and profitable to that corporation. An
agent of a Scandinavian “Colony” has just
negotiated for two hundred thousand acres in
the Great Platte Valley, and these hardy
emigrants will soon be 'on the ground as
thrifty augmenicrs of the nation’s wealth.
Another “Colony” of soldiers who served in
the Union are arranging to leave their homes
in Eastern Ohio, and with their families
locate oh the rich grazing lands of this
Company.' On nearly every train over the
road are to be seen the individual purcha's-.
’.‘l'S of farms and grazing ranches to which
they are wending their way for settlement.
The reasons for this unusual emigration to
the line of this great trans-continental rail-
way are manifold. Chief among them may
be mentioned the rare healthfuln of the
more than delightful climate, the almost
tropical iferiilityof its irrigated soil,’and its
cheapness of cost and easy temis of pay-
ment. The unsettled condition of society
at the South has had much to do in direct-
ing the attention of those from New Eng-
land and the Mi idle Staics to this section of
the country. Theiunate thirst for.adven-
ture aud'improved conditions, so conspicu~
one an element in the Yankee character,
constitute other and strong incentives for
thus locating, while over and above all the
untold and fabulous wealth of the mines
which enrich this portion of our national
domain must Continue to stimulate a con-
stantly increasing emigration thither from
‘all quarters of the globe, and for many
years to come. ' . .
This sudden augmentation of population
along ‘its line gives renewed and special in-
terest to all that pertains to this grand iu-
tor-oceanic highway. Its inception, progress
and completion, are all matters of - revived
historical consequence. No matter how
many new lines may be built hereafter, this
grand pioneer railway will stand out in all
coming history to challenge the admiration
and wonder cf. mankind. The forging of
its last rail, and the driving home of its last
spike, close upon the ending of our terrible
war, were everywhere hailed as the na-
tion’s sublimesi pledge to lasting peace and
unity. No chorus so wonderful had ever
before swelled the grant]; anthem of the
world’s development and progress. Its 'his-
tory is the property of the globe; its con-
. tribntion the gift of the American people;
while “its glory shall fill the earth." Pre-
eminently and exclusively is it an American
work in all its august grandeur and magni-
tude, and into it and through it are inter-
iwined every fi'bi‘e of the nation’s heart, a
well as the nation’s treasure. The power-
ful hold it has upon the affections and sup-
port of the American people is clearly
evinced by the repeated and generous acts
of legislatitm conspicuous at every Congres-
sional'session. And over all and more than
all, as unanswerable assurances of its value
and perpetuity, we have but to note the re-
peated and courageous pledge of every dol-
lar of the private fortunes of its promOtcrs
and managers, whencvpr its interests or
necessities required immediate and vast.
- sums of money to be raised. Avarice and
interest may seek to decry and depreciate
the securities of this colossal enterprise in
the markets of ille'world. But so long as
it shall be conductedwitll the rigid'circtun-
spection that it now is, and continue to
more than fulfil the world’s expectations
concerning it, so long will all the people
extend to it their enthusiastic support and
Godspeed. Certainly, never has any enter-
prise iu all the world’s history drawn forth.
with such lavish spontaniety, ilie hearty
good wishes and the more potent dollars of
a great people. The recent election of that
clear-headedand thoroughly and pradiically
educated railroad magnate, Col. Thomas A.
Scott, as President of this monster corpora-
tion, and his acceptance thereof, is but an-
oiher ebrnest of the faith and trust its .pres-
ent able board of directors have in the per?
manence and value of 911 its franchises and
securities. Among the most substantial of
these are undoubtedly the bonds which are”
based upon the magnificent Land Grant—a
fact the keen eyes of capitalists are not slow
to discern. The nation has indeed been
lavish in the bestowal' of its vast unoccu-
pied territory west of the Missouri, so much

for all sorts of enterprises. Yet the gift of
these lands has but quadrupled the valueof
such as remain, by bringing, them within

A whole chapter might be Written con-
cerning the mere pecuniary advantages this
railroad‘has'been to the national treasury.
It. was shown from the records of the Gov-
ernment, at the last session (if Congress, that
the actual saving to the National Treasury
in the transportation of troops, supplies,
etc., had reached nearly one million of dol-
lars per week! The saving in transportation
of the mails is three thousand dollars per
day! It has saved in addition the vast mil-
itary patrol of a thousand miles of emi—
granis’ trail, hitherto maintained at a cost of
untold millions. In view of such moment;

ought Senator Wilson to feel,,who said in
ment’s aid was first invoked of Congress:
“I giveno grudging vote in giving away
either money or lands. I would sink a bun-
dred millions to build the road, and do it
most cheerihlly, and think I had done a
great thing for my country if I could bring
it about.” The considerate judgment of
every patriotic citizen responds a hearty
«‘amen” to the generous utterances rof the
Massachusetts Senator. All dificulties in
the past, ho'ever great, have beelgihus sur-.

never succumb to tiny fate short of self.

Or, the piece ofliloncy from India,
One day a large number of guests an; at
the dinner table of the principal hotel in
Dresden, the beautiful capital of Saxony.
Foreigners and native Germans sat side bv
side, eating, talking, and apparently having
a very good iinie. Suddenly a young mer-
chant, who had traveled through India, at-
tracted the attention ol'cverrbotly, by hold—
ing up a peculiar piece of gold m’oney,
which he brought with him from that coun
try. The column eight-cornered. and had
very strange figures on both sides of it. The
people around the table were'greally sur-
prised to see such a beautiful and queer
piece of money, and it was no wonder that
they admired it: ; .
The gentleman owning it let it pass around
the table, and a great many remarks were
made about how such a queer piece of mon-
ey could have been prepared. Finally it
reached the hands of a gentleman sitting at
‘the end of the table, who was apparently an
officer of high rank, who had been so intent
upon conversation with his neighbor that lie
was really the only One in'lhc company who
had not paid much attention to the curious
coin- He looked at it a moment, noticed
the figures with some indifi'erenc’e, and then
laid it down on the 'table saying, “0! I
know that piece of money already; I have
seen one before,” anti continued his conver-
sation.
. Shortly afterward the people began to talk
about other things, and the piece of money
was apparently forgotten. As the (linger
which lasted along time, drew to a close
'the young merchant who owned the money
looked around upon the guests and said:
“Will the gentleman to whom my money '
was handed last be kind enough to give'it,
to me again, for I have not yet received it ?”
The people were greatly astonished at this
remark, and wondered that he had not re-
ceived his money again. Every one do
clared that he .had passed it to the one sit-
ting next to him, but nobody seemed to be
company were in great surprise at the
thought that a thicf‘could possibly be in
their number, and yet it (lid seem ihaisome-
body had taken the gold coin. Finally when
the money could not be found, an old gen-
tleman arose and said in a loud voice.
“Gentlemen since every one of you says
i
since ‘all_ of us in the dining room are re-
sponsible for it, I propose to you that each
have his pockeis‘searched by the landlord,
and I am willing that mine should be first.
The landlord and I will take our position
at the door, and I propose that, nobody
leave the hall without’the landlord examin-
ing his pockets. ' In fact, there is nothing
else that we can do, if we want to saVe our-
selves against ihe‘ supposition that Some one
of us is a thief i” ‘
It appeared that every one was agreed to
his proposition, and one after another had
his pockets searched by the landlord. Fin-
ally, the officer who had paid but little at-
tention to the piece of money when itwas
handed him said: .
“Gentlemen. I do not agree to have my
pockets searched, though I give you my
word of honor' as a soldier, that I do not
have in my possession the piece of money.
Here is my name, and that is all I can sub-
{hit to l" '
All eyes were now directed to this officer,
and immediately every one else seemed to
have a suspicion that he was the one who
had the money in his pocket. A number-
said to him that, as they had been searched,
it is no more than fair' that he should be
also. But he protested against it, and said
that he would submit to it under no condi-
tion whatever, -
“Then,” said they, “we shall have to con‘
sider you the thief, unless you agree to have
your pockets starchpd l" ' '
“I am no thief, gentlemen, and yet I will
not have my pockets searched.”
Just in the midst of the excitement 'a rilp
was heard at the door. The landlord open-
ed it, and seeing the chief waiter of the hotel
before him, asked him what he desired
Said he: . ,
“I wish to tell you sir, that in one of the
napkins'whicb has just been brought from
the table there was found this gold piece
which fell out when the napkin was thrown
into the pile of soiled ones. I have come to
give it to yop‘rtha't it may be returned to the
owner.” _ -
The whole company was greaily surpris—
ed, and there was a universal feeling of sat‘.
isfaction ; and those people who had accused
the officer of being a thief felt very much
ashamed of themselves, and would have
been glad to find any plaCe in which to
hide. The officer now seeing that they could
no longer call'him alihief, stood up before
them and said:
“Gentlemen. I think you willhiow allow
me the privilcdge of saying a word. The
reason why I did not allow ,my pockets to
be searched was that I had in my porte-
monnaie a piece' ofgold just like the piece
which the waiter has returned to the owner.
If it had been found in thy pocket, and the
other had never been found, :I would have
been called, and with some right, perhaps,
a thief. There are strange things in this
world, and we can never be to sure that we
are right. See, here is my piece of money !”
And with that the ofiiccr' took out a piece
of gold, which was in every respect like
that owned by the merchant.
“Look at it carefully, gentlemen, I am not
afraid that any one of you is'ihief, and after
you have all seen it, I think you will say
that it is precisely like the merhani’s piece
Hereafter let me beg of you never to call any
man a illin or suspect him of any crime un-
less the evidence is positive.’-’ _
Those who had been suspicious of the of-
ficer taking the money, then came up to him
and asked hispardon, when he said: .
' “I freely grant it gentlemen, But hereaf-
ter, always, before you have 'a suspicion
that some one has done wrong, be sure that
you are right." .

is soon to be undertaken in connection wi
railroad enterprise. All a cement has been
concluded between the rent Western and
Michigan Central Railroad companies fora
period of 20 years, under which the entire
through earnings are put into a joint purse
and then divided. Both companies also bind
themselves not to interchange traffic with
{my of the new lines across Canada or Mich-
igan. This virtually consolidates thejines
and makes them one of through traffic be-
tween Chicago, Buffalo and Suspension
Bridge. A tunnel to connect the two lines
under the Detroit River is to be commenced
forthwith. Work on the tunnel will be
begun in May or June. The tunnel will be
a double one, that is, arranged for a doub
track . and the excavation will be commen~
cetl not far from the Michigan Central depot
in 1383.11)", and will run dia onally across

Walkcrtown, on the Canada shore. here
the Great Western line, which has previous-
ly run along the river front, curves- and
strikes into the country. The trains emer-
ging from the tunnel in the vicinity of this
curve would advantageously work intothe
main line of that company. The cost ofso
gigantic an undertaking, the tunnel necessa-
rily being nearly two. miles long, must of
course, be very great, probably not less than
$2,000,000, and—perhaps considerable more.
Probably. two years will be required for its
construction, but- when completed, it will
be a work of the very greatest importance
to the Northwest. '
