The sneering tone and bitter words left no alternative to Gen Smith. «You have ventured to doubt my courage, sir,”’ he exclaimed, ina voice almost choked by pas- sion. ‘: YouSneer at the chargesin which | have taken a part; you shali now have an by pape to test of what metal | am made."’ As he con- cluded he flung # card across the table in the other's face. «There is surely some mistake heré, miy dear Persifer,’’ replied the unabashed joker; ‘[ have already got the card of the geutleman whose health I intended to pro » {t was the busi- ness card of the Brothers Smith, of 122 and 110 Fulton street, one of whom happened to be pres- t. ‘* 1 mean,"’ said the wit, ‘a general cloth- 7, not agenezal officer. As to his charges being moderate, why I appeal to the company, three fourths of whom have been his customers for years’? It was carried mem. con. that no insult had been given, and Gen. Persifer was the first afterwards to relate the joke against himself.

The hotels at Saratoga are now being re- fitted, and will open about the first of June. An addition has been made to the United States Hotel, and also to Union Hall.

It is so constructed. that, when once adjusted to the locomotive, and registered for its route, it will, invariably, give the alarm at every crossing or point where it is desirable to have this whistle blown. U7 The Cumberland Civilian states that the business on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, at that point, is greater than ever heretofore. Train after train is almost constantly passing through that city, heavily laden with the productions of the + great West."* and the rich treasures of the coal = going east, and merchandise, manu- factured and imported articles going west. 17 It is mentioned ay a noteworthy fact, in illustrating the influence of railroads on real es- tate, that the eight counties in Virginia immedi- ately trated and influenced by the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, viz : Bedford.
