THE NATIONAL PARK. There was an interesting debate in the senate a fow days ago over the bill grant- ing the right of way through the Yellow- stone national park to the Cinnabar and Olark's Fork railroad. The bill is looked wpon with considerable suspicion, and will probably be defeated. It was stromgly opposed by Senator Vest, on the ground that the introduction of any rail- road into the park would ultimately result in tho dostruction of the park for the for which it was originally Senator Vest also took spoak of the monepoly the park given to the WRufus Hatch company, and called attention to the Tact that by direction of the interior department notices had been posted in the park con- firming the monopoly of that company. Tt was originally intended to leaso to the Hatch company 640 acros of the park, witn abeolutecontrol of transportationand hote} privileges, but the senate prevented that. "The senate limited the amomnt of land to be let in any one tract to 10 acres, and purpose occasion to privileges in nof more than ‘one tract to one person. Dongress had ‘not adjourned’s week be- fore the secretary of the interior made a contract with the Hatch company to lease thioma 10 acres, divided into seven parts, and each part around one of the seven special objacts of interest in tho vark. Senator Loganapoke strongly against the proposed rairoad bill, and criticised the conduct of a prominent government official who had been lobbying for the schemo. Ho thought it in very bad taste for the department of theinterior, having under its control the Yellowstone park, and charged with its protection, to have anoflicial working for its destruction, Senator Van Wyck offered an amendment roquiring the passenger and freight rates of the line to be approved by the secre- tary of war. Ho was glad, he said, to seo that light was dawning in the senste. Senators had been to the Yellowstone and had seen and felt something of the mon- opolies which were folt hy the people of allthe territories, The Cinnabar road waa, of course, only to get into the park under cover of another company and as a mining road. 1t is hoped that congress will go slow in dealing out Cellowstone park in sec- tions to the various monopolies If one railrond is admitted others are sure to follow, and then the romance of the park will be more than half destroyed. The great beauty and attractiveness of the park consiats in the wildness and undis- turbed condition of the region. We do not want a railroad running to every place of interest in the park, nor do we want a hotel at every ten miles. The romance of camping out, the pleasure of riding on We have heard, from time to time, that the Central was about to quit politios and mind its own business; but this does not look like it. —_— Tur Bankers' & Merchants' Telegraph Company has been absorbed by the Post- l Telegraph & Cabls Company. This gives the Postal Company csatrol of over 9,000 miles of pole lines and 55,000 miles of wire. There will soen be com- pleted 3.000 miles more of pole lines and 21,000 additional wire, making a total of 12,000 miles of pole line and 76,000 miles of wire. The ‘consolidated com- panies will have under this arrangement three routes between Now York and Bos- ton; three routes between New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington; three routes between New York and Chi- ago; two roates botween Chicago and St. Louis; one route from Chicago to St. Pauland Minneapolis; one route from St. Louis to Kansas City and Omaha; a main line from Washington and New Or- leants through Richmond, Augusta, At- lanta and Montgomery, and also extend- AN AFRIOAN RAILWAY. The Proposed Line from the Red Sea Into the Soudan. From the London Telagraph. The inevitable expedition will have to go by the route which nature indicates, wnd a man has followed since the days of Cambysen—that is to say, by the Sua- kim-Berber line, which is the nearest assago hetween the Ited Sea and the F.m. Cataract, Just as certain it is that o railway connecting these points will prove the indispensable adjunct and in atrument of the nndertaking. The nar- row-guage line w! we can and must lay would go up with the troops, water, feed and support them, connect them at every hour with the sea and supplies, and continue to exist and to bs profitable when the last British soldier had quitted Suakim.

No other con clusion could have been arrived at than this, i. e., that R« W. R.

A, Bg bert Removed as Receiver of ‘the Denver, Western nd Pacific. Denver News. An important decision was rendered in the United States Circuit court yester- day, Judge Hallet granting a decree in the case of Hiram Barker et al., bond- holders of the Denver, Western and Pa- cific Railway company againat the Union Pacific Railway company, A. A. Egbert as receiver of the Denver, Western and Pacific road and the Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company of New York. The suit was brought by the original Denver, Weatern and Pacific stockhold- ers to vacate the decree in 8 suit brought by the Farmers' Loan and Trust compa- ny which is acting as the Trustees of the Denver, Western and Pacific road. Un- der the decision rendered by Judge Hal- lot yesterday A. A. Kgbert is removed from the receivership of the Denver, Western and Pacific railway and the con- demnation pro ings are restrained. The Union Pacific and the Loan and Trust company are enjoined from fore- closing the mortgage or selling any of the land. horse-baok or going on foot from the point would then seom a hardship,where- as new it is real enjoyment. Let the JouN M. TnurstoN is the Blaine of Nebraska,— Zecumseh Chieftain. This is putting it on a little thick, and it certainly is not very complimentary to Mr. Blaine, who never ran an ‘‘eil room.” Tuar statue of .Justice, on the dome of the court house, although eight feet high, seems rather a dimunitive figure and looks more like a flagstaff than a statue, 1t ought to be about twelve feet high. RererriNG to the proposed elevated railway system in St. Louis, the New York Gommercial Advertiser says: St. Louis has decided to build a sys- tem of elevated railroads. Kxperience prompts New Yorkers to suggest that care should be taken to prevent any overflow of the Mississippi into the stock of the company. It is no wonder that the Mormon popu- lation of Utah has increased so rapidly. In looking over a copy of the New York Zribune of October 13, 1860, we find the following announcement: Elder Kimball, one of the leading Mormon saints, recently had born to him Yellowstone park remain as it is, and let in not be disturbed by railroads running all throughit. It is well enough to have the railroads run to i‘s boundaries, but no further, and we believe that we voice the sentiment of all tourists who have visited the great wonderland and spent any time there. “RIDING T00 HARD." We have been told time and time and again that the Nebraska railroads have gone out of politics, but every time that a campaign is to be fought, a conven- tion to be held, or a legislature is to be elected the railroads take a hand in the canvass, In this, history only repeats itself. As far back as 1860 the New York Central sought to dominate over the people of the Empire State, and did, to a great extent, control the politics of that commonwealth. In the presidential campaign which culminated in the elec- tion of Abraham Lincoln, the railroads wore largely a factor in politics, and as usual were allied with tho party in power. Horaco Greeley, in oue night no less than tourteen child- ren, Tux janitor of the state house was in charge of the great seal of state last week. Governor Dawes, Lieutenant Governor Agee, and all other state officers were at Chicago. “If a riot had occurred, or a requisition had been wanted for a great criminal, or any emer- genoy had arisen there was nobody on hand to attend to business. A rrorosiTioN has been made to con- struct an elevated electric railroad in St. Louis. A few months ago an electric sur- face railway six milos long was opened for regular business in Ireland, It con. neots Portrush with the Giant's Cause- way. The power is generated by.a24- foot water power in the river Bush, and the.ecloctrio current is transmitted by an undergsound cable to the railway, The road hes a 3-foet gauge, and grades as stoep as 160 foet per mile. Electrical enterprise can construot such a line, St.; Louis energy and capital ought to be able te build one. ‘ — Tae fashionable -Chinese quarter of Now York city ia at present in & perfect flutter of pigtails over the arrival upon Ameriogn shores ¢f s resl Chinese gen- tlewoman, Whilea very few Chinese females have boen seen in the motrapolis of Americs, they have in all cases be- longed to the ‘‘washeo-washeo" class. American notions of the real Chiueso lady have generally been taken from tea trays, fancy boxes, or books upon the Flowary Land. Mrs. Wo Kee, whieh is the lady’s lovely and expressive name, has already expressed her amazemont ' at tho size of the most fashionable Ameriean boot. Her own lovely and aristocratie littlo extremitios rescmble those of a baby—in dimensions, thet is to say, i not in ymmetry, who courageously grappled with the cor- porate monopolists in those days, called a halt to their aggression by bold and fear- less appeals through Z%he Z'ribune, which was then the leading republican paper in America, It is decidedly refreshing, at this ‘day, to read Greeley's vigorous articles on corporato misrule of twenty- four years ago, which aro just us applic- able at the present time as they were then, We reproduce the following as a sample: Rivixa Too Harp, — Chauncey Vib. bard, goneral superintendent of the New York Central railroad, has been nomi- nated for congress by the Douglasites of the Mohawk district, and it is under- stood that Erastus Cornivg, president of said road, is to be nominated in the Albany district this week. Is not this rather ‘‘ running the thing into the ground 1" We make no personal attack on Meesrs, Vll!bu'd and Corning, Thetr politics are their own affair, and their personal char: acter is not called in question. But we do most strenuously object to running ;| the president and superintendent of that {| rich and powerful corporation for politi- cal office. It is a virtual attempt to con etrain and .coerce, by the power and pmon:;o of a wealthy corporation, the votes a thousand free men who are employed by, or have profitable dealings with, the great railroad throughout two congress distriols, extending from the Hui nearly te Little Falls, Nobody supposes that evergone who is employed, by, or sells wood or other material, to the railroad will be told in so many words, ‘“Yote for (Jomin{'; [or “Wib- bard,” as [the case might be], “‘or look elsewhere for employment;” but the ef- foot will be substantially this, Buppose two rival wood-owners, each employing twenty or thirty choppers and teamsters, one of them a republican, with most of his workmen, the other a fusionist; each wants to sell the railrosd five thousand cords, which is likely to find a market! Su) a republican wood-owner were to hint, in & quiet way, that he could in- fluence twenty or thirty votes among his hired men, and would do it in fevor of | the railroad candidate if he could make a sale and get his money forth- with; who does not know that he would be likely to securo s favorsble hearing! Judge Hallet decides that Fred L. Ames. one of the Union Pacific railroad directors, has apparently only the right to hold thestock of the Denver, Western and Pacific purchased by hin—$310,000, and has no right to take 8604,000 of the stook, as it is claimed he has taken, and that if the allegations cited in the bill of complaint is proven, neither Mr. Ames nor the Union Pacific Railway company has any right to the bonds they claimed to own, and that in any event they could not share in the proce:ds of the property except in the ratio of the amount of bonds which they actually paid for. The decision gives a point in" favor of the boncholders, but it is by no means a settlement of the suit, which will paob- ably be a subject of legal warfare for some time. Judge Hallet refused to let E, O. Wolcot, the attorney for the bondhold- ers, have the decree for publication last night, as he (the judge) wishes to make way."Even if Egypt exvended the morn- ing for its construction,it would prove the wisest outlay she ever made; but as a part of the cost of the campaign of relief alone, it would save vast sums, and may be considered, indeed, as asine qua non of tho enterprise, and the first and most important business to take in hand, when once the word isuttered that all these people who look to England for succour are not tv perish. Of course the railway thus contemplat- ed must be cheap and simple. Experi- enced contractors affirm that a narrow gauge line can be laid over the easy coun- try in question at the rate of five or six miles a day. The distance is about 280 miles, and, allowing for preparations and organization, it could be finished, what- ever the weather, in four months. 1t is estimated to cost £750,000; but then it would bs a property,and a very good one, sure to develop commence and intercourse and ‘‘smash the Mahdi” by the means most fatal to him. Fifty miles of the metals are lying ready at Woolwich; the ironmasters of the Midlands could supply one hundred more on short notice, and the rest could soon be provided. Pay- ment, slender enough in the eyes of the British navy, but dazziing to an Arab, would set the tribes of the desert to work night and day upon the job, and every league complet- ed could be protected by armed trucks and enginee, which could be held like mobile fortresses. Water may be got in quantities by means of tube wells wherever the Arabs find it in dribles, or might be run up and stored in tanks;and all the way to within fifty miles of Berb- er thero are springs; whilo at Kobreb, on high ground, there is quite a beautiful oasis, fit for a sanitary station. Moving up by thisswift built line—which would have no great elevations to climb, and no serious hollows to bridge—the column of rescue would arrive at Berber, probably with little or no fighting, for even the fiercest tribes would know the Mahdi's reign to be over when the railway echoed from Mount Erkoweet. o ———— A PRESBYTERIAN 71’UDD'LE. Some More Light on the Depositions of Rev. Smith ot Nélson, REV, SMITH'S SIDE. To the State S. S, Association of Nebraska— The State Sunday-school Association at its last meeting appointed me one of its delegates to the International Sunday- school Association. I applied to the ex- ecutive committes for credentials and received the following reply: HasTiNGs, Neb., May 26, 1884, Mr. W. R, Smith, Nelson, Neb.: Dear Sir: Your postal card received. In view of the recent action of Hastings Presby- tery, I do not see how I can issue to you the credentials to the International Convention you ask, In fact I am surprised that you should ask for the same. I cousulted the other membors of the committee and they are of the same opinion. I regret exceedingly some verbal and other corrections in the document. o —— ROYALTY IN THE COMPOSING ROOM. How the Late Duke of Albany Set Type at the Ca It was my destiny onco to engage tho deceased Prince Lisopold, Duke of Alba- ny, in a long conversation, writes a Lon- don correspondent. In the fill of 1879 Prince Leopold, accompanied by his for r tutor, CanonDuckworth, visited the flice « f one of the largest of the largest of the London morning newspapers, on the statf of which L was at that tune ew- ployed. 1 was deputed by the propr tors to show the Prince over the build ing, o task which occupied about three hours; for the Prince not only desired to seo everything that was to be seen there, but to have it explained to him in detail, The poor nld canon be- came quite wearied of the inspection, and once or twice hinted at the prop riety of quitting, until the Prince told him plainly that he was not disposed to hurry. When passing through the composing- room the Prince dumbfounded one of the comoositors by asking him for the loan of his composing-stick. Of course the Prince's request was at once complied with, when his Royal Highness pro ceeded to still further astonish the typos by setting two or three lines from a page of manuseript which lay on the case. It was evident that the Prince was perfectly acquainted with the arrangement of the cases and could compose type with ease. Court etiquette requiring that no one who has not been oficially introduced shall put any question to any royal per- sonage I was precluded asking for any explanation 1 so ardently desired to have. Noticing, I suppose, my puecled expres- sion, the prince pruuai-s to enlignten me, He had learaed practical printing, he said, when -!uung boy, at his uncle’s in Germany, and had spent five weoks at the task. There is no historic custom in the royal family of England, as there is in that of Germany, requireing every prince to go through the farce of pretending te learn a trade, hence Prince Leopold's knowledge of printing must have been voluntarily adquired. That the late Duke of Albuny was an accomplished linguist and muaician was generally knowa, but I think that it has been reserved for me to publish for the first time that to his other aequirements must be added the art of the eompositol o ——— The Bank Bandits, Newark, June 9.—Chsancellor Ruu- yon has issusd an order on the Newark savinge stitution managers directing them to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt of court in} losving bank funds contrary to am} chancellor’s ordere, that I am placed in the position where I have to decline issuing the credentials, Very truly yours, Jas, B. HartweLL, Ch'n Ex-Com, State 8. S Ass'n, 1 returned the following reply: Nkison, J. B, HARTWELL, Committeo State S, S, Association, Hastivgs, Nel Drar Sik:—Yours of the 26th is at hand and contents noted. T must coufess that I am astonished at the action of the committes in refusing me credentials to the Inter-national 8. Associ; n. What mor il or legal right has your commit- teo to refuse a duly elecied delegate his cre- dentials on the account of the action of any Presbytery? Hus the Hastings Presbytery infinite power?

According to the position of your committeo what privilege hus a minister deposed by the Houstings Presbytery? Uan he purchase a piece of Innd or hold faunly worship? Neither the stawe nor the international as- soclation are Presbyterian affairs, and neither of them uuder the care of Hastings Presbyte- Ty, ¥Hut since my rec nt experionco with Hust- ings , Presbytery, I sm not surprised that it deigus even to dictate to the state of Nebras- ka as to who shall represent it in the interna- tional Sunday tchool association. W. R, Swmirh, To the Editorjof the Be. The enclosed action of said committee is an outrage on humanity. By the most shameful violation of our book of dincipline, the committee did not cite me to appear for trial, gave me no chance whatever to defend myself, and now some of the same parties, members of the same church, try to injure me still further by refusing nie credentials to the association, * * ' * W, R, Smura, THR OTHER SIDE. Mr. Henry M. James, clerk of sessions Nelson Presbyterian church, writes to Tue Beg, under date of May 31, as fol- lows: *‘In the Nuckolls county Herald of this week, Mr. Byram, stated clerk of the Presbytery, gives the otherside (the deposition olri’. R. Smith) * ** [ merely suggest that when so many are interested it s but fair that both sides should be heard.” The main points in the report of Mr, Byram are as follows: “‘He (Mr. Smith) was asked to appoint counsel, but refused, He was given op- portunity through the entire time of ufi ing testimony, to question the witnesses but he refused. He was asked at the the close of the examination—yes, I may say, urged to make his defense but re- fused. 1 may say without fear of contra- diction from any one that there never was & court more disposed to conduct its of every three were well taken, the result would not have been dltfeaent.” —— CHICKENS AND DIAMONDS, ANevada Story of a Very Wonderfal Series of Incidents, From the Virginia Enterprise. Mrs. Nora McShane, who resides on the divide, near Hickory street, received a letter and a newspaper from her hus- band, who is in the diamond fields of South Africa. When nearing home, Mrs. McShane—who is not able to read writing—concluded to go on to the resi- dence of a friend who generally reads for her the letters of her husband. While standing and debating in her mind the question of going ut once to have her triend read the letter, Mrs, McShane almost mechanically opened the newspa- per to have a glance at it, she being able to spell out print. As she opened the paper she thought she observed, as she says, ‘‘some bits o’ dthirt or gravels” fall out of it, though she paid but little at- tention, thinking at the time that it was same ‘‘schtuff that had worked in- to the paper on the road.” When her friend read the letter it was found that her husba.d—*‘trusting to luck,” as he said—had sent in the newspaper as specimens no less than fifteen diamonds in the rough, ranging in value from $30 to $120 each. Here was a go, as not a stone remained in the paper. However, she remembered that when she opened the paper she was in a walk—where the snow was off the ground—juet opposite the res- idence of a neighbor, and accompanied by her friend she returned to the place Not a diamond could be found, but Mrs. McShane’s friends had observed a lot of chickens about the spot, and was contfi- dent they had found and_ swallowed the glittering lictle stonos, Ina short time quite a crowd of wen and women had col- lected about the spot—having been told about the loss—and, as the place was a regular crnising ground for the chickens in search of gravel while the ground was covered with snow in most places, it was the general opinion that they had swal- lowed the gems. The chicken belonged to the neizhbor in front of whose piace the newspaper had been opened, and this neighbor could not b expected to sacrifice his whote flock, numbering thirty fowls, for nothing. Asno one could tell which particular chicken might have a diamond in its crop, and which not, it would be necessary to sacrifice the whole lot. The owner disliked to lose his chickens, but finally said he would let them go under the circumstances, at 75 cents each cash down. Mrs. McShane had no money and knew not what to do. However there was no time tolose, and a miner, of sporting turn who happened w0 be present agreed to pay for all the chick- ens, provided Mrs. McShane would give him any stone he might pick cut from among those recovered. Mrs, McShane accepted the offer with the proviso that she was to have all the chickens that wero killed. The fowls were enticed in- to their house and the heads cut off the whole lot. The contents of their crop being carefully washed and examined, twelso of the goms were found. Gener- ally they were worth from 830 to 850, but there were three worth $100 and over. Oneof these, a stone worth $120 fell tc tha share of the speculative miner. Mrs. McShane was helped out on her side by dressing and selling the chickens at from 75 cents to 81 each. A curious part of the story remains to be told, however. Between the uncut diamonds found in the craws of the fowls there was taken from one a handsome omerald that was perfectly cut. Mre, McShane, of course, thought that this stone had also been sent by her husband, though it was not mentioned in his le ter. While this matter was being dis- cussed a lady living in the vicinity came up and at once claimed the emerald, Sho said she lost it out «f her ring the day before. No one knew what to eay to this, as those present did not wish to dispute the pomt, Seeing how matters | 800d, the lady ran oft home and present- ly 1e‘urned with her ring, into the eet- ing of which the emerala fitted perfectly. On seeing this all agreed that the stone was the property «f the lady. e POOR LITTLE BILLY. The Woful Cause of a Small Girl's Great Grief, Boston Globe, “*Please, Mr. Conductor, 1 ain't got no money, but I want to get home quick, for Billy's hurted very bad.” The speaker was ashabbily attired little girl, apparently about nine years of age, who had just entered a car near Dover street, carrying in her arms, wrapped in ; l':dod shawl, what appeared to be a aby. ‘[ knows you car, mister,” she contin- ued, ‘it goes close to my street; an' I'll get the money from father an’ pay you.” “All right, sis,” said the conduetor, kindly, *‘How did the baby get hurti” ““It ain & baby,” she answered, “'it's my brother Patsey’s dog.
