Union and Central PaciGc Railroads have
made their report to the Interior Department.
The Central Pacific Road.
In regard to the location of this road, the
Commission are of opinion that it is generally

The telegraph line is well constructed,, and
is supplied with a sufficient number of stations.
The Commission estimate that to supply
deficiencies on the Central Pacific Railroad the
sum of $576,650 will be required. •
On examining the lists ol surplus lolling

company the commission is of opinion that

opinion, wdtdd property describe it. The sup
position that Lady Byton ever harbored an
unworthy thought of Mrs. Leigh is
to Mrs. Minns. That She should hare done
so, as Mrs. Stowe affirms, during the honey
moon, she declares as absurd as it is horrible.
Lady Byron often spoke to Mrs. Minns of Mrs.
Leigh, but always in terms of the deepest a.fec*
tioh,often designating her as her ‘best friend.
Mrs, Minns was present at the wedding, which
did not, as is implied In MrS. Stowe’s highly
dressed narrative, take place in any church,but
'was performed by special license m
the drawing-room of Seaham Hall. We
come next to an important incident,
which is entirely at variance with Mrs.
SStowe’s .statement, and of which Mrs. Mmns
was an attentive and anxiously-interested eye
witness. Our readersi wiU bear in mind that
nortion of the‘true story’winch .teUs-of the
hideous confession made by Lord Byron to his
bride as soon as the carriage-doors were stmt,
■anil of its effect upon the poor lady. Now MrS.
Mirihs, as ‘ we have said, preceded Lord and
Ladv Bvron to prepare for their reception at
Hainaby Hall. She was present when they
arrived at that mansion later in the day, ana
B aW them alight from the carriage. What was
the condition of Lady Byron at that moment ?
Mrs. Minns .says;she was buoyant and
cheerful as a bride should be, and kindly ana
cailv responded to the greetings' of welcome
which poured-upon her from the pretty nu
merous group of servants and. .tenants of the
unibanke family, who had assembled about the
entrance to the mansion. Fletcher, who was
the only servant who accompanied the bride
and bridegroom from Seaham to Halnaby, and
who of course sat upon the box,informed Mrs.
Minns that a similar scene had- occurred at
Darlington, at the hotel where,-they changed
horses. The happiness of Lady Byron, how
ever, was of brief duration ; even during the
short three weeks they spent at Halnaby the
irregularities of Lore! Byron occasioned her
the greatest distress, and- she even
contemplated returning to ...her-- father. .
Mrs Minns was her constant companion
and confidante through this painful period, ana
she does not believe that her ladyship ooncealea
a thought from her. With laudable,reticence,
the old lady absolutely refuses to disclose the
. particulars of Lord Byron’s misconduct at this
time; she gave Lady Byron a solemn promise
, not to do so; but language would be wanting
to express the indignation with wlnch.she repu
diates the gross explanation which Mi's. Stowe
has "iven of the matter. So serious, however,
did Sirs. Minns consider the conduct of Lord
■ Byron, that she recommended her mistress to
confide all the circumstances to her father, Sir
Kalpli Milbauke, a calm, kind-and most excel
lent parent, and take his advice as to her
future course. At one time, Mrs. Mmns
thinks, Lady Byron had resolved to follow to
: counsel, and impart her wrongs to Sir Ralph ,
: but on arriving at Seaham Hall, her ladyship
strictly enjoined Mrs. Minns to preserve abso
lute silence on the subject, a course which she
followed herself, so that when, six weeks later,
she and Lord Byron left Seaham for London,
not a word bad escaped her to disturb her pa
rents’ tranquillity as to their daughter s domes
tic happiness. As, might be. expected, Mrs.
Minns bears the wannest testimony to the
noble and lovable qualities of her departed
mistress. She also deolares that Lady By
ron was by no means of a cold temperament,
but that the affectionate impulres of her
nature were cheeked by the unkind treatment
she experienced from her husband. Ot
Fletcher, she speaks very favorably and pleas
antly. He was, sbe says, a cheenul, compan
ionable man, and used to converse with Ins
master without any restraint, a practice which
his lordship, so far from .reproving, evidently
liked and encouraged. Mrs. Minnssawagreat.
deal of Lord anil Lady Byron’s grandchildren,
Viscount Ockham, the presentvLorvLWent
worth. and their sister, while staying with their
grandmother, Lady Byron,, under whose care
they were principally brought up, and she evi
dently considered them, especially the un
i l'orthnate Ockham, very * canny bairns.
For some . years, it seems, that Lady
Byron suffered under the apprehension
that his lordship would have recourse to legal
proceedings to obtain the tutelage- of their
daughter, and her ladyship was frequently _in
communication with Mis. Minns on this
subject, in reference to the evidence the latter
could give of hia lordship’s fitness lor that duty.
■ Strongly attached as Mrs. Minns was to Lady,,
Byron, she does not speak unkindly ol Lorn
Byron, though fully sensible to tbe defects of
his character. Most of the conversation n\
which we learned tbe foregoing facts; took place
in the presence .of Mrs. Minns’s daughter, a,
comely, intelligent and matronly lady of mid
dle age, who was doubtless familiar with the
details we have given above, and
who entirely coincided in ad “k®
views and opinions of her mother. So ended
an interview which we shall not easily forget.
Sirs. Minus is a type of a class of whom a tew
remain among.us, a class with whom the dig
nity of service is mingled with warm affection
and fidelity which extends beyond the grave.
Oud or two of the careless allegations ot Mrs.
" Sto'vVe are, we think, disposed of by the simple
statement of this venerable gentlewoman.
tVe will leave others to judge of the moral
value of a vamped-up tale tokL by a profes
sional tittle-tattler against the life-long aud
earnest conviction of such a witness as Mrs.
Minns.”

—Messrs. Benjamin F. Wright, John F.
Shenner and James M. Stewart, Building In
spectors, paid their annual visit yesterday to
the theatres and Academy of Music, to ascer
tain if the act of Assembly, requiring ad neces
sary protection against the origin and spread ol
fire, and sufficient means of egress at all times,
is conformed to. The theatres visited were the
Arch Street, American, Walnut Street and
Chestnut Street, and at each they found one or
more fire-plugs, with hose attached, ready for
use: and a sufficient quantity of hose to convey
water to different portions ,of the stage and
to the “flies,” if necessary. As a precaution
the stage lights had been generally covered with
close wire to prevent the gas jets from reaching
fhp scenerv and- other combustible material.
Heaters are used exclusively at all the theatres
but the American, and orders were there given
to have boxes, lined with zinc or sheet-iron,
placed about the stoves in the dressing rooms.
At the Academy of Music the employes are
formed into a fire brigade, and axes, buckets
and about seven hundred feet of hose are at
hand for immediate use. At all the places
visited yesterday the means of egress were
considered as ample as could be provided, and
no recommendations were needed ■ m respect
to them.
NEW JERSEY MATTERS.
Tiik ELECTioN.-The election in Camden
is going on quietly, and so far, with the best of I
feeling: Each party is working earnestly and
vigorously for the victory. It appears that the
friends of the candidates have made it a per
sonal contest with themselves, and are laboring
more .zealously than usual on such occasions.
The Democrats employed a six-horse omnibus,
and a band of music, from Philadelphia, to
parade the streets and discourse the spirit
stirring strains of “Erin go Bragli, the I
“Irish Washerwoman“ Enn isi my
Home,” and the . “Fenian Grand
March ” while, occasionally, as an mter
hule ’“The Stars and Bara,” and “Mary
land, My Maryland,” were performed. Their j
vehicle was set off with various devices, one
of which was a huge lion, with open jaws,
painted on the door, which was intended to in
dicate that the lion of Democracy designed to
swallow up the Republicans unceremoniously.
To-morrow morning will show how near they
accomplished their 1 object. The Republicans,
also, bad a band of music, and carnages flying
in every direction to convey voters to the polls.
It is calculated that the Republicans will elect
their Senator by about four hundred majority,
while the Assemblymen will be earned by a
handsome victory.
Disgusting Sight.— Last evening Officer
Elder, of Camdeni found a woman at Second
and Plum streets in a beastly state of
intoxication, and conveyed her to the Station-
Louse. She made quite a vigorous resistance,
and the scene was anything but pleasant. She
was dressed quite well, and refused to give her
namel
Lodgers.— The cold weather at night for
the past week has had the effect to increase the
lodgers in the station in Camden, who seek
that place as a shelter. It is often crowded

AND niNTOBY ojfBIUUm
It seems strange that in tiie ,c;iee of' a game
at once so fascinating anil" so popular as bil
liards, so little should be known of its origin
. and history, even, among those who have-made
it the Occupation of their lives. We have, it is
true, ipany books which teach . the principles
arid, f raCrice, of . the'game, written, fcy men who
have wiel'ded thd die with especial skill; but
these works, while initiating the learner into
the mysteries of the difficult cannons and side- ,
strokes, only contain .vague generalities as
the early History of hiljiardij,' Jhe writeili
profoundly ignorant of whatever' cannot be
brought to bear upon making long “breaks,’?.
Professional billiard-players, indeed, are. not
zemarkabld fpr any rgreat intelligence , beyond
that required 'to play the game'well 'as
manual dexterity. We find tho greatest mas
ters ef the. cue content to, remain. in blissful
ignorance of all that is interesting in the Jtis
■ tory of the game in which they so' emirieiitiy
distinguish themselves. Nor do amateurs help
us to any more knowledge of the history of bit-'
liards, although many admirers of the game
, bave written upon it; and indeed a criticism
upon a book written by an amateur in 1801
will apply, to every work upon billiards written
before or.since. “The history of the game,”
says th'e criticism referred to, Via' very brief and
insignificant,” Very brief must any history of
the game be, for in truth there is not much to
tell, billiards, as we now play it, having been
gradually developed! from a much ruder game
•f obscure origin. Yet some notes on this de-'
velppment will hardly be considered insigni- I
ficant, especially. .by those who have felt the
' fascination of the Ivory balls and the seductive !
green table, and heard the musical sound of !
the final winning hazard in a hard fought pool.
Billiards; from pita, a ball, whence the ;
French Wife and billiard, is said to have been
invented by a French artist, Ileurique De
Vigne, who lived in the reign of Charles IX.—
that is to say, about 15fiO-74. It is perfectly
vicar from the Elizabethan writers that a game 1
sailed billiards was weli-known to-them, and
we in England must have citherlearncd iL very
quickly from our neighbors on the other side
•f the Channel, or some game analogous to it
must have been in vogue hero at the time it is !
said to have been discovered in France. .Spen
ser in “ Mother Hubbard’s Tale ” has the hue—
i With dice,with cards, with billiards much unfit,
And shuttlecock ufisseenung manly wit.
Ben Jonson, in “A Celebration of Cliaris,”
*s»vs— ' ...
Even nose and cheek withal
Smooth as is the billiard tail.
Clc-opatra’s invitation to Charmian, “Let’s to
Billiards, - ' Is familiar to every one,and we have
also mention made of the game by Locke, Bur
ton, in the “Anatomy of Melancholy,” and
Boyle* Misson, in Lis travels in England, also
speaks of it, ami Gay ton In his “Notes to Don
tjuixote” (1654) speaks of billiards as one of
the attractions of the taverns of that day. A
correspondent of Notes and Queries finds a
' table mentioned in a payment made in the
i sign of Janies L : ; ; ;
With rfegard to the invention of billiards, it is
probable that, as Strutt suggests, it originated
in an ancient game played with ] balls -on the
{aoiuid, and was, at first, thb same game trans
ferred to a table. Most of the words used in
the game are certainly of French origin, and it
was most likely first brought, to perfection in
France. The old ground-billiards survives in
traco or lawn-billiards, and lias developed of
late years Into the fashionable game of croquet;
for in the very earliest times the players drove
a ball through a iioOp and round a peg or cone
fixed into the earth, This hoop or
“pass,” together with the pin, was at
first transferred to the biliiard-tahle, hut
soon discarded. Evelyn, writing In 1070,
speaks of a table he saw at " the Portuguese
Ambassador’s which had this pass and a pin,
and moreover, had more hazards, i. e. pockets,
than the tabloo then in geraual'iise. He says '
that the balls were struck “with the small end
of the billiard-stick, which is shod with brass
or silver.” The “small end” of the stick would
seem strange to him because for many years
the mace, now only used by ladies at bagatelle,
was the only instrument in vogue in England.
The cue was certainly of continental origin,
and very curious some of tile early cues must
have been, for they .were cut obliquely in va
rious ways, one of this kind, being called a
“Jeflery,” possibly from the name of the in
ventor. Leather-tipped cues did not come into
use until far later, about the beginning of the
present century, according to Mr. Kcntfield.
The use of the mace of course necessitated a
very different style of play from that cus
tomary now, and the technical terms employed
in the game in old days, will best explain it.
'Players then spoke of “the stroke,” “the
sweep,” “the long stroke,” and tlfcA “dead
trail,” or “turn up.” . , ■ ' \
Old billiard tables' were made of different
shapes, some square, some oval, aim they, had
ordinarily far fewer pockets than the tables we
use now; while, in some cases, they had no
pockets like present French tables. One of the
earliest games was a curious and complicated 1
one called the Fortification Game. The table j
was crowded witli “passes,” “advanced forts,” j
“reserved forts,” “grand fort,” and “batteries.”
“The combatants by custom,"says one writer,,
“are those antient or ‘mutual' - enemies the
French and English.” The game sjwken of
above, with a cone and areli, is called by most
writers a French game, aud there was also
another variety called “Trucks, - ’ which was
supposed to liave originated in Italy. ]
.Slate tables, now almost oniversal, were, im •
troduced about 1827, and vulcanized iudia-rab
ber cushions have entirely superseded the old
ones stuffed with list, although some old- !
fashioned players still express a preference for
the latter kind of cushion, affirming that the
ball takes a truer angle from it, Tables are
also made of iron, but they are not very popu
lar. The greatest care is in these days be
stowed by the chief makers upon ail the appli
ances needed in billiards, especially upon the
manufacture of the balls. Billiard balls must
not only he of the same Size, but of the same
specific gravity and density of each other, or
they will nol run true. A good plan • for de
tecting any defect in them is to place a sus
pected ball, marked with a small spot on any
part of its circumference, on the surface of a
vase of* water, with the spot exactly uppermost. 1
It will descend through the lesser density of
the water in exactly the same position, that is
to say, with the mark still uppermost. ,
One of the most curious little books ever
written on billiards is that referred -to in the
early part of this article. It is entitled “ In
structions for playing in all its varieties tho
game of billiards with ease and propriety,” by!
an Amateur, and was published in 1801.!
“ Amateur,” however, in his preface, makes the
following sage remark, which is true of the)
present day as well as of the time in which lie;
wrote. He calls billiards “a favorite diversion!,
in many parts of England, particularly witli!
persons of the first rankbut he goes on toj
say that “it has been in a great measure pros
tituted by the designing and vulgar sort of
.people.” There is prefixed to thb book some
account of a celebrated’ billiard player, Mr.
Andrews, which is rather amusing. This gen
tleman was almost invincible ■in his day, and ,
“Amateur” tells us that no oneggmld beat him ;
but Abraham Carter, who liad'tables under the .
Piazzas, Bussell street, Covent Garden. Anil J.
ho wonder, for this is what we are told of Mr: ;
Andrews, who-seems to have, had a mania for :
billiards: “He devoted liimself,” says “ Ama
teur,” “ entirely to tho blind goddess, and wor
' shipped her incessantly under the form of two
ivory bails. * * * * ‘
His face was a perfect vacuum with respect to
every possible idea except billiards. He seeiqed ‘
hut to vegetate ina billiard-room, and indeed •
he did little more in any other place.” After
this description of Mr. Andrews we afe a little
disappointed that as “Amateur” euplietnisti- j
cally puts it; he played with “latent finesse”— 1
that is to say, was a bit of a “leg” and lost sliil
lings in order to win half crowns, fie dieted
himself carefully in order to play his beloved' i
came’the better, hut after various ehanges of
ittsi ctmntgyd upon a very
smaft incAlhei and'dMd; -A cdrtAiii'critic cor
rects “Amateur's” statement that in 1801 the
mace was,in more general use than the,cue, af
' "filming the opposite to be the case, f reliably,
however, the point and bntt'ewl were used in
, djiscrnifinatcly, for all old cues’ had thp, butts
flattened and covered witli leather as .well as
the tips. • *
It will seem almost incredible to some players
; ; of the present day that there was ever R tin\e
» When the “sidestroke.’ >w4g unknown. For the
benefit of non-playing’ readers it may be exr
! ‘plained that the sjdestroke is the striking of the
ball on one side or other of tjie -centre, making
it rebound from a cushion or. another ball, at
■a more or less acute angle " than - would have,
been the case had it been Struck in the usual
way. A ball struck in the centre rebounds
, from a cushion at an angle equal to the angie
of incidence, but ’ the angle of reflection may
be infinitely varied by the use of • side. The
sldestroke nowadays is almost too popular, es
pedafiy among yoitng ! players, .who are apt to
Use it'when simpler methods’of play would
serve their purpose better. But let any,,,bil
liard player try to imagine what the game was
without side, ;©r “wing,” or “gaze,” Us it has
been called; the, dark ages -of billiards
indeed must those benighted times have been.
Of course bails must have rebounded from the
cuslii*nsat aU sorts of curious and perplexing
angles, for they- must have often been accident
ally struck on the side. - But these- vagaries
were attributed to defects in the cushions and
Bert to inaccuracies In the play. Ilie side
stroke is supposed to have been discovcredby
a Mr. Bartley, who had billiard-rooms in Bath
about the year 1810. He was playing .with his
mariyejya man named Can - , and endeavoring
toTlrive a ball played from within baulk on to
one placed in the centre of the table into a side
pocket without bringing the .object-ball into
baulk. This, a very easy stroke, when your
own ball is stuck oh the- side, must liave been
much harder, without the twist! Mr. Bartley
beat the marker by .the use of the
side, and then showed* him - how to
perform the same feat. And, marker-like, Oarr
very soon turned his newly acquired knowledge
to account, for when the neighboring billiard
playefs floeked into Batli to see this new and
wonderful stroke, smart Mr. Carr sold them
“ twisting chalk” in small boxes at lialf-a-crown
apiece. The sidestroke has by modern players
been brought to a pitch of .perfection that is
almost miraculous.- The .-“screw,” or drawing
hack the hall by reversing the axis of rotation,
as boys do hoops, and making it return-beyond
the place from which it was-origin ally struck,
is a further and still more curious development
of the sidestroke; while the combination of
ijcrew and side will in the hands of aMtilful
player make the balls seeni almost endowed
witli volition. The popular trick of making a
ball tun up the table, go round a-hat placed
upon it and return to baulk without touching a
cushion, is an instance of what can be done by
twist.
While speaking of the side-stroke, we may
advert here, tor the sake of those'of our read
ers who-are billiard players, to a curious mis
take which occurs in most modern books on
billiards. It is laid down as an axiom that
“side” cannot in any case be communicated to
the object ball—that is to say, that, although
side may be madeio take effect upon a ball
struck directly by the cue, one ball will not put
side upon another. .This is a great mistake.
Side can be put upon the object ball, but it can
bare: no effect until alter the impact of that
ball upon another bail or upon tbe cushion.
A sidestroke or twist made directly by
the cue will, as in the case Of
a . ball going round a hat, take ef
fect, although the ball played upon should
touch nothing whatever in its course. But side
produced by one ball striking.upon another can
only have effect after the ball played upon, has
struck a ball or cushion (as we have said), the
ball going uu in a straight !ino,aa if with no side
at all, until the side developed by the impact.
Side can also be communicated in a very curious
way when two balls are touching each other,
hut are not quite a “ plant,” i. e. in a direct
line for a pocket. If, in such a ease,the object
bail be struck on ! lie side (hitting your own
ball, of course, in the sidelong motion
will be found to ft be communicated to the
third ball which will land it in the pocket. It
is impossible to explain tliis clearly without a
diagram, but any player can workout the
stroke for himself upon a table.
it is not necessary to speak here of the differ
ent -varieties of games played upon billiard
tables, or of their rules; they will be found in
aDy manual oii the subject-. We may remark,
however, that the American game, with four
balls, is hardly so popular as it deserves to be
in this country; and the amateur will find that
practice at it will much improve his pool play
ing. Cramp strokes, or difficult feats with the
balls in uncommon positions must also he left te>
the teaching of some intelligenNmarker. There
are many honest fellows to bertemd both/n
London'and in the country who cafFdtrVnTks
with the balls that will surprise a beginner.
Nor need we, we imagine, caution any gentle
man against being “legged” or cheated at bil
liards. .Some writers on the game are. elo
quent on this., subject, warning the novice
against certain classes of men and oertain kinds
of bets, as if billiards must necessarily to be
played for money with every casual “loafer”
who frequents public rooms. Like many
other amusements, the game lias to a certain
extent lost caste of late years by being made
so much the medium of gambling.

Hair Vigor,
For the Renovation of the Hair.
The Great Desideratum of the Age.
A dressing/which
is at once agreeable,
healthy, and effectual
for preserving the
hair. Faded or"gray
hair is soon restored
to its original color .
and the gloss and •
freshness of youtHi' si.
Thin hair is thick- • •
ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured ?
by its use. Nothing can restore the '•
hair where the follicles ate destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. Free
from those deleterious substances which
make some preparations dangerous and ;
injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it doe?
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
longer on the hair, giving it a rich
glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. »
