The Pittsburg Lei Sure Hours furnishes
the following extract of the professional
connections of Mr. Thomson with railroad
and other enterpriseefrorn the time he first
became known to the public in his capacity
of civil engineer.
Mr. Thomson, the well-known Presiden
of the Pentisyliqinia Railroad Company,
was born 'in Delaware county, 'Pennsyl
vania, in lee& His descent is traceable in
a direct line to certain members of the colo
ny founded by William Penn, one of whom,
Samuel Lewis, was conspicuous as a min
ister of the Society of Friends; and a mew- ,
ber of the first'legislative assembly. llis
father, John. Thomson, was actively en
gaged during the greater part of his life in
constructing:and promoting the. internal
improvements of his State. He was alearn
ed and skillful civil engineer, and educated
his son John Edgar in a similar direction,
as the latter's mind early evinced a. cdenti
al) bent. In 1827. he was employed on the
Columbia Railroud;'now
a Mitt of the line owned bY the coninanY "of
which be is president. 'la HMO he was en
'gaged in the. construction of ;the Camden
and 'Amboy Railroad, of New Jersey, and
ancited s its eastern section. Be then,visited
'Europe to .inspect the railways and canala
there. ; Soon:after his rettirtihenccepted an
appointment es Chier"'engineer of the
Georgia - road ,aexten ding; ,front Agusta

'work lie commenced hi 1838; and continued.

'niter his,-return to - the -Nortla; upon. the
route traced. After_ he had entered .upon
his duties as chief engineer Of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad lie was offered large induce:
Mints to return to the South and take charge
of the _Charleston and Memphis,and other
connecting lines of that region; butlaving
become deeply interested, as an engineer, in
the location and construction of, the .line
Over the difficult country between Harris
burg and Pittsburg, he declined these flat
tering offers, and continued at the -head of
the engineer department of the. Pennsyl
vania company until the work was nearly
completed. -
He was nominated, while absent in the
West, in 1852, for the position of President
of the company, without, his consent, and
under circumstances that prevented_ him
from declining the position—while both his
interests and inclination prompted him to
decline. The result of his administration
'of the affairs of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, in augmenting its business and
in establishing its credit, is before the pub
lic. He assumed the duties of his office
without a dollar in the treasury of the com
pany, and now its tinancial resources are
almost unlimited.
After the consolidation of the several ,
lines between Pittsburg and Chicago, be
was elected a director of the consolidated
company. The line from Pittaburg . to pert,
Wayne was then in operation, and some
progress mode beyond that point. With
considerable pecuniary assistance from the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, this line
was extended •to the, town of, Plymouth,
from whence it effected a connection with.
Chicago, via Laporte, by,.the use of a por
tion of the Michigan Southern Railroad.
,This arrangement, bowever,proved so tin
satisfactory in its results upon the business
and credit of the company, that renewed
efforts were made to complete the whole
road. After a session of nearly two weeks I
to devise means for this object, Mr. Thom
son was telegraphed to meet the board to
aid in directing what to he done under the
circumstances. Upon examining the sever
al plans proposed to complete the line, and
a list of assests of the company available
for it.s completion, he informed the, board
that if they would appoint him their cheif
engineer, he would take these assets and
build the remaining eighty-two miles of the
road. They at once accepted this offer ; but
finding these assets of less marketable value
than he anticipated,he was compelled to use
his private credit to accomplish the object,
which he did, returning to the company
over two hundred thousand dollars. of the
assets placed in his bands. To enable him
to better fin the object of his appointment as
chief engineer, they also elected him presi
dent of ,the company, which office he held
until the reorg,anizatiOn of the finances of
the company upon a plan which gave to
each , shareholder the original portion he
hold in the company before its embarrass-.
naents.
Alter these objects were obtained * Air.

they proved insufficient, anal' the affairs nf
the companies fell into almost inextricable
difficulties, from which. they , have been
released ,by the application of means far in
advance of any anticipation formed upon
the snide& in consequence of the difficult
character of the country the road traverses
and the unexpected high price paid for
work during its construction.
Arr. Thomson has ever carefully eschewed
politics—has emphatically, on several occa
sions, declined tempting offers to high po
lities? positions.. It is pretty generally, un
dersiood and believed that be was the first
choice of the present, Legislature for the
United, States senatorship, but in this in
stance, as its many others, he peremtorily
refused the use of his name. During the
war- he contributed largely to the Union.
cause, in facilitating the forwarding
troops, and in many other ways, but he de
clined public notoriety in the matter.
- Personally he is very popular. His ad
dress is that of a. refined, dignified, yet easy
and courteous .gentleman—kind of heart
and liberal of hand. In business matters,
however,he is a strict disciplinarian. Every
thing about him goes like clock-work. Time
is as much an essence of the stationary as
the running departments of the under his
charges, regularity,
.punetuality,,and,per
sonal accountability being indispensable to
the most subordinate , position. Strictly
a railroad man, be bas duringhis whole life
devoted his best energies, and professional
skill to the perfecting ot, the railroad sys
tem of travel, and brought to its aid apnea
cial acumen rarely seen even in successful
bankers.

reminiscences of an old connection with

"For a young man who is not altogether

below the level of mediocrity, have equal
chances with the members of the so called
professions, to acquire, both wordly'hou ors

.1110.trinioutal Advertisement.
A lady, who had no idea of looking for a,
husband, hut with large proclivities for
mischief and for fun, put a matrimonial ad
vertisement in the Nezo Yorlalrerald, with
direction for answers to be sent to a certain
signature at the Broadway Post-Oflice. As
the advertisement appealed to the practical
appreciations, by assuming a neat little
fortune, in addition to an agreeable person,
the seed of such temptation could not well
fall idly upon such a fertile bottom as is of
fered by the city of New York. On the first
day that succeeded the advertisement, the
lady received seventeen replies; on the
second clay, thirty-two; and on the third,
seventy-two—an extent and ardor of appre
ciation, for her vaugely described personal
attractions, 'which even she was not pre
pared to expect.
Bewildered by the warm volume of adora
tion and entreaty which issued. from this
Hymeneal magazine, the lady culled to her
aid Bove ladies as mischievous as herself.
One pair of hands and one mind. were, of
course, quite unequal to the task of answer
ing all; so the billetdoux was divided
equally among them, and each was to make
an appointment with the writers cm the Jot
lowing Saturday afternoon, at four o'clock,
on the lower side of the up-stairs saloon of
a certain popular restaurant in Broad Way.
Each of the ladles, moreover, who took the
task iu charge, chose a different colored
paper for replies. 'Finally it was agreed
that the whole six should be present at the
Interview, and that each should wear the
exact costume prescribed for the inamorata
whom the sighing swains would be there to
see. On the other hand,the gentlemen were
directed' to appear in all the varieties of at
tire and position which female ingenuity
.anti mischief could devise. One was re
quested to wear a blue coat and bright
brass buttons; another to have his hair
parted in the middle; one was to be eating
a plate Or pork and beans, which, said the
ingenious writer who dictated it; "you can
scarcely expect will be called for by any
body else." Others were to be partaken of
various dishes, or to place themselves 'in
such attitudes and postures as were direct
ed by the writer.
At four o'clock, on the ,prescribed Satur
day afternoon, every chair at every table ou
the lower side of the up-stairs saloon, was
filled with sleeking-looking and hig,hly per
fume Leanders, all gazing into each other's
faces, and each secretly cursing the lack
which wedged him so closely out of the kil
ling positions and displays which he had
been meditating ever since he got his note.
And how the dishes smoked, and the won
dering waiters dew! Even the perplexed
landlord, amazed at this miraculous flow of
business, was obliged to drop his own mut
ton-chop, and call out the entire forco of his
establishment, to meet the clamorous if not
threatening demands of the gentlemen who
feared they might not get their telegraphing
plates of duck, or mess of pork and...beans
in time.
At length, the clash of sheen and kick of
[ stiff skirts were heard coining up the stairs
one minute after hour, , and-un inamorata
_appeared, dressed in dark'green,with deep,
fur cape, anffabultdant - droopitig.laceShe,

she was she. IVlien she appeared, the sen
sation was universal ; the gentleman with
the buff vesrthrow open his coat to the ex

entirely to the chin; the gentleman _who
was to lean backward frequently com
menced tilting like a Chinese mandarin;
the gentlemau with the pork and beans be
came vociferous for more beans; while
those who had duck, etc., were equally
clamorous in complaining of the undue fu l
iilluteut of their orders.
Never was there such a Sudden clamor
beard in that usually well-regulated up
stairs saloon before—and by the bye, never
did , it subside more suddenly than when a
new brush of skirts was heard coining up
the stiars. All the Lotharios wore once
more in position, when lo I another Corde
lia, in all respects the reflex. of the first, ap
peared bearing the film of strawberries as a
'challenge in her hand, and sweeping with
it like a Juno, to a sent near the location of
the first. ' It is heedless to sip that the sen
sation was now, extreme.. Some of tho gen
tiemen win; were to part their hair in the
middle began, however, to look less turioue
ly at other gentlemen who had their hair
parted in the same way, as much as if to
say, "Well, there is one for each of us, any
how I"
But most of the party seemed more you
bled than before. A pauSa of some minutes
succeeded before any' no* "appearance"
took place, during which time the Lotha
rios were engaged in displaying their points
to the best advantage; ' and some, more
ardent than the rest, pulled out the various
colored notes they had received, and either
pretended to read them or laid them eon
spicionsly off the table. " "There's one of
my fellows with the blue note !" 'said mys
tery No.l, over her spoonful of soup, to
mystery No. it "There's one' of mine,"
said Cordelia, to the second, "he'e got
a pink note."' "What do you think of
A.ugustus, there,' with the pork and beans
before him, who is so pensively leaning his
cheek upon his band?" said myth the
first; but before the answer could be given,
apparitions three and four appeared, and
bard upon their heels Same five and six.
There was now perfect consternation on the
lower side or the up-stairs saloon of the
Jashionablo restaurant in Broadway. The
man on dur tilt fell backward, and was shot
under the table; there was a general, feeling
'after bats'"'initt:a;4tithering of loose

An °nazilns Goose Race.
r The Omaha .RepuhfiCan has the following
I account of a "goose race" that came off in
that city: , , -
Over two thousand people gathered on the
banks above the pond, and along the lower
end ofFurnbam street, yesterday afternoon,
to witness Bob Hart and Sully in their great
wash-tub goose feat. Promptly at the - ad-,
vertised time, Hart made his appearance,
followed by his competitor for the golden
peanut offered by Colonel Hanford. Each
_sat in an ordinary wash-tub to which was
attached six pairs of geese, driven and
guided by an ordinary carriage whip.
The most deafening applause, shouts and
yells greeted the contestants as they were
towed into the pond. Striking the _Farnham
street bank, both started side by side, talk
ing to and urging on the feathered racers
the same as a ;lucky would do in a trial of
speed among horses. Half away across the
pond Sully's team switched off and bolted
for the weeds, giving Bob the lead by three
and a-half lengths. Recovering his course i
Sully made splendid headway, gaining rap
idly on the Hart outfit. One of his "geese,
however, attempting to dive, kicked a rear
goose in the eye.
The kicked bird at once cackled his de
fiance and soon demoralized the entire team
to such an extent that victory was impossi
ble. Hart would have come in 0. K., only
for his "wheel geese" balkingbadly and up
setting the tub, Sully began laughing at
his opponent's disaster, when his team
made a sudden right flanked movement,
which left the driver floundering in the
reud. The assembled multitude yelled the
louder at the accidents. Righting their
crafts, both parties made for shore, leading
their teams. Both took the prize.

A Fearful Scene.
At Echo, en the Union Pacific Railroad,
the other evening, throe freight trains stood
upon the main track, when word came
dashing over the telegraph from the super
intendent : "A. locomotive and tender, with
steam up, and with nobody on board, have
broken from a freight train and started
down the grade." Ali then and there was
hurrying, to and fro. In a few seconds
came another message: "She has just
passed Castle Rock station." sever were
'three trains got off Upon a siding with less
delay. '
Then the workmen piled sleepers high
upon a track; lest even that should not
stop her, and she should do murder further
down the road, they tore up the rails below.
Just as this was accomplished she came in
sight. She shot through the sleepers like a
•bullet through a pine board, sending them
flying in all directions, and darkening the
air Nrith the splinters, but at the broken
track she jumped up and down with vexa
tion; and finally plunged angrily, benli fore

the occupants. The outhouses for horses

the fields and fences, all indicate that the
occupants of this homestead extoll in hus
bandry, and know bow to live,
Two years ago last April, they secured
here two homesteads of 80 acres each, under
the homestead law, and have since cleared
40 acres, all of which is now in crop. Of
their crop of last year, besides what was
consumed in the family , they sold 900 bush
els of potatoes, 500 bush, of corn, 200 bush.
of wheat, 250 bush. turnips, 200 bush.beets,
1,100 heads cabbage, and over nOO worth of
garden stuff. The potatoes, they sold for 50
cents per bushel. We forgot to ask what
they received for the other products.
All the work on this farm, the clearing
and grubbing of the land, the fencing, sow
ing, planting, cultivating, and harvesting,
and taking care of the stock, and all other
work, except splitting the rail and breaking
and plowing the cleared lan doves performed
by the seven sisters.
These ladies are natives of Ohio, whence

and to this farm, then wild land, in April,

about 26, their mother, and their father, an
invalid.
The family removed to this State with
the hope of improving his health, and. this
spring, for the first time in many years, he
is able to assist in farm-work. In the
course of conversation on the management
of this model farm, the mother, a fine-look

" The girls are not proud of the hard
work they have had to do to get the farm
started, but they aro not ashamed of it.
We wero too poor to keep together and live
in town. We could not make a living there,
but here we have become comfortable and
independent. No tried to give the girls a

while the wife and son of Mr. Sai , ory got

indicated in some cases by a. metallic taste
in the mouth, especially after (Iriuking

greater part of the surface of the tongue, one
of the best "coolers," internal or external,
is to take a lemon, cut off the top, sprinkle
over it some loaf sugar, working it down
ward into the lemon with a spoon, and then
stick it slowly, squeezing the lemon and
adding* sore sugar as the acidity increases
from being brought up from a lower point.
Invalids with feverishness may take two or
three lemons a day in this manner with the
most marked benefit manifested by a sense
of coolness, comfort and invigoration. A
lemon or two thus taken at "tea time," as
an entire substitute for the ordinary "sup
