[From the New York Herald.} It has long been a matter of speculation to many who the holders of the stock of the under- and how they operated with and wera ps their road, particularly as the managers of the dark concern operate alto- gether in private The following tew spicy notes, directions, &c., which were originally in- tended for the eye of a resident formerly of Fifth avenue in this city, but at present of South Brooklyn, and an owner and one of the board of directors, as we are informed, of this great railroad, but which, instead of reachin; their original destination, fell (accidentally tf course) into the hands of a gentleman of this city in no way connected with or sympathizing in the principles of that stock company, who has placed them in our hands for disposal as we deem proper ; and not knowing of a better way to get rid of the villainous documents than to lay them before our readers, we have concluded todo. We should, however, state that the first of the specimens fell into the gentleman's hands alluded to some time in February, 1895, since which time they have been gradually accumu- lating until the present time—slow, but sure— and now number five documents all told, con- taining the names of the writers.

The second “ pack: of goods’’ received by our friend contained ‘the following note of in- ° troduction : Sir: The bearer of this, with the enclosed document, was consigned to me by some one as yet unknown; still, as everything seems to be all right, I have thought best to assist him in reaching Rochester. and trust you are a friend to suffering humanity sufficient to aid him in his plans, i. e. of reaching Can- ada. For reference of my integrity in such a cause 1 would refer you to the Hon. Wm.

Take the New York Central train and go to Buffalo; enquire for E.G. Spal- ding at Buffalo.

Give him all the in- formation he may require. He is a poor slave bee © rey from the eastern part of Virginia. and I thought bo ry it wes best to send him to you.

At all events, give him ali the Bere information he may require; and take the liberty to recommend the man to you, and { hope you will understand this note. Yours, respectfully, W. Fisuer. The fifth and last precious document ran as follows : Bro.

Will you ace him right in the matter? ours, truly, S. McKean. P.S. 1 enclose a note to Bro. Burdock with this. You are at liberty to make what cisposi- tion of it you please. S. McKean. The note alluded to in the postscript has un- fortunately been mislaid It is useless to add that the requests con- tained in the above notes were not complied with.

Prorasity.—By Mary Forrest.—This is em- phatieally an of kissing. Everybody kisses every body. Since the anti-fastidious days when the old woman saluted her cow, such a time of promiscuous and inordinate lip-service was never known. The sign and seal of a “strange intelligence” has become a hissing and by-word ; the plaything of witlings ; the tool of satyrs ; the lost jewel of the elect. nobia’s kiss is the ‘long and silent’’ throb of her immost soul—unexpressed and inexpressi- ble, save to those divinely akin ; but the chances to be one in the indiscriminate circle, and, as each member drops off, must bend her stately head to the puppet performance—the kiss ail round—which would be most appropriately accompanied by the elegant air of “ Pup! goes the Weasel.” Penelope herself is obliged to look sharply to the dew on her lips, or ten to one it will be spirited away on some graceless moustache. he malady grows, and is becoming epidemic and chronic.

Nectar and ambrosia! what a moist ex- plosios For the next six weeks I will not kiss afriend. In the meantime the dews of heaven, the “‘ mik-fed lips’ of babies, and my heart's best prayers will perhaps bring back the ravished privilege. A kiss should be one of the holiest demon- strations of the soul; it should have a voiceless eloquence, am electric tranquility, an electric reserve. It has no such thing. It pops a good morning. it sputters # good evening ; whizzes and fizzles on the right hand, on the left. here, there and everywhere. We are keptconstantly om the defensive. At last, marked, cornered. and set upon, we plant our teeth hard. and abide the shock as best wecan.
