STORY OF A Dt'BUQCB KLETATOR.
Among other iuatittitiong of tliis
city, and one which invarlbly nttracta
uttentioit of the traveler, whethor he
comes by the river er rail, is tho large
grain elevator near tho depot of the
Illinois Central railway. TI.ero is a
peculiar history connected with tho
structure, and one which, in theso
times of railway excitement, may' not
be uninteresting. The el.vtor was
bought in 18G0 by Dean Richmond,
who wai then one of the magnates iu
tho control and management of the
New lork Centra, railway, lliere
has list been a bushel of gram ln l'10
elevator einco 1SG8, nor has there
been prospects of their being any in it
since that time. But a visitor at the
premises will find at all hours of the
day workmen prepared to handle any
grt in that may arrive. The boilers
are filled with water, and in the furn
uces underneath is kindling ant) fuel
ready to iguite at any moment. The
engine and all tho tuncliioery is oiled
for instant rnotjan. pie preparations
are such as, to induce- tho' belief that
the proprietors hud only stopped busi
ness for a day or two and were about
to cjrt again. Rut still tho years
roll on, and smoke never issuos liom
tbo clriuney, the fires arc not lighted,
tho steam is never raised only a con
stsut, watchful readino8S. lliere it a
reason for this readiness, and for the
silence aud inactivity .which brood
over the place. Dean Richntoned hud
a son .whose habits and character
were not entirely in accord with his
fathers wishes, lie would not hold a
pen behind his ear nor perch himself
iinnn fi stool norm? over the cooks in
the office, nor did ho exllihit any of
the qualifications for a successful bull
nr a bear upon the etocu market
Tho father lost confidence in the ton,
and so strong became his dissatisfuc
lion that he eventually ostracised
him. lie was allowed to labor and
shift for bis oyn irseans of support,
lie becume conductor upou his father's
railway. Mr.' Ktchmoud told him
that the least infraction of the rules
of the company would insure his im
mediate removal, and especially was
he warned against allowing any ptr
ion, whether a friend or net, to ride
without showing a ticket or a pass, or
paying the necessary tare, lie Iiaq
been employed in this capacity for
some time and lucre had been n com
pla'tpts, wften, or.o day, Dean Rich
mond hitnsnlf became a passenger up
on his sou's train. The conductor,
while collecting tickets and fares,
came to the old railway magnate
when the following dialogue occurred :
"Ticket, sir!"
"Tickets? Get out ! I am tho Prcsi
dent of this road. I don't buy tickets."
"That makes no diilerc-nco. Iti
against(orders for nie to aliow anybody
to rido without he pays his lare, prcs
ents a ticket, or 'shows A r.-'ts. Come,
hurry up."
"Well, tir, you know who I am,
and that I am entitled to ride on
this road free. I could make out a
pass, but I haven't auy blanks. You
go on. Its all right."
"eo here, old gentleman, it makes
do difference who you are ; giro me u
ticket, show your pass, pay your fare,
or get off this traiu 1"
"Humph young mau, you are get
ting mighty arbitrary. If yoti don't
go on about your business I'll hare
you discharged."
The young conductor made no re
ply, but gave a vigorous pull upon
the bellrope. As the train checked
its speed, and tbe father saw that he
was about to bo treated like any other
passenger, aud was really liable to be
set dawn beside tho track midway be
tween stations, he nulled his wallet
and paid his fare. This little episode
gave 'aim a new iusight into his son's
character, and he forthwith commenc
ed casting about fqr somo business oc
cupation for him. The two, while on
a Wcgteru trip came to pubucjue, and
the father purchased tho elevator for
tho sou and gave his check for the re
quisite amount to carry on the busi
ness. Rut in connection with the
purchase was another transaction, iu
which Mr. Richmond and . the Dubu
que and Sioux City railway were the
parties. The corporatiou was new
aud was anxious to 6tll its bauds. . Iu
consideration) of bis purchasing $100,
QQQ of the bonds of the company at
1.02 J the railway contracted t send
all through grain passipg over their
line into the elevator and to pay one
cent per bushel for the privilege. The
contract was a good one for the eleva
tor, and by iu terms was to centinue
in force for fifteen years from August
22, I860. It was also advantageous
to the railway, for the seeming indorse
ment of their road by Mr. Richmond
in his purchase of their securities ;;hove
par euabled them to sell all their
ponds ;n ew York at a fcjgh figure.
Until the leasing of the Duuu'juu uuJ
Sioux City railway by the Illinois
Ctutral, iu 1S07, ihe contract had been
cartful ly'oW.rved by the parties mak
ing it. Hut al'lPf '.lie tirrt fvV nWk'
frtfln the advent of the new manage
ment no attention was paid to the con
tract, and the grain from over tho Du
buque and hioux City una was tranter
red across the river without passing
through the elevator. Tho business of
Richmond and Jackson was damaged,
was iu fact' destroyed, for this was the
only source from which they cauld ex
pect er obtain patronago. They were,
and have been at all timerf, ready and
willing to perfofm their , part of tho
agreement, aud hencO it is that the
elevator is kept in a condition to start
nt a moment s notice. On several oc
casions the Illinois Centra,) tins switch
ed cars e if at tho elevator with the ex
pectation and hope that it miht nut
be fjtind in running order, so that the
proprietors might be charged with a
violation of their part of the contract,
but t) no purpose. AH efforts to com
promise the differences between the
parlies have failed. The elevator firm
have brought several suits agaiust the
Illinois Central for broach of contract,
and have recovered judgments in all
the actions which have been tried. I lie
first judgment of 85,000 the railroad
company raid ; the second judgmsnt
for 859,000 they appealed ; and the
third suit for $500,000 has not yet
been tried. The attorneys for Rich
mond and Jackson, the plaintiffs, are'
confident of ultimately ubtaiuing de
cisions iu their favor iu all these cases,
and of collecting the amounts recover
ed. The contract will not expire un-
1875; nnd in the future, as in the past
they will claim one cent upon every
bushel or grain passing through ho in
the lino of the pubuue and Sioux
City road.
l PKAIKIEDETKCTIVES.6
'
When I was cm ployed by Gen
Harney last, summer to take chargo
temporarily of the Indians that were
gathered near rort Randall, JJecotali
to form a new reservation, one day a
guide and trailer came luto the gener
al's headquarters.. I told hiru to be
seated He sat down on the floor,
bracing las back against the wall.
The general saw this, and in vexation
cried out, "My (iod. why don't you
take a chair, when there are: plenty
here not occupied ? "
The man afope apd ccafod . bkmelf
in a ciiair, but iu so awkward and un
comfortable a manner that he looked
as if he might slip from it at any mo
mcut. Biu when this uncouth per
son came to transact his business with
the general, ho turned out to be a
man of ordinary abilities. His de
scription of a route he took as guide
and trailer for tho Ogallalahs in bring
ing them from the Platte to the fort
was minute, and to me exceeding
interesting. Every war party that
for the season had. crossed his trail, tie
described with minuteness as to their
number, the kind of arms tdey had,
aud stated the tribes they belong to.
Iu these strange revelations that he
made there was neither imposition,
nor supposition, for he gave satisfactory
reasons for every assertion he made.
I have rede several hundred miles
with an experienced guide and trailer,
Hack, whom I interrogated upon
many points iu the practice of this art.
Nearly all tracks I saw either old or
new, as a novice in the art, J question
ed bim about. In going to the Nio
brara rive; we crossed the track of an
Indian pony. My guide followed the
track a few miles ana then said. ".It is
a stray, black horse, with a long bushy
tail, nearly starved to death, has a
fplit hoofon the left fere foet, and
goes very lame, and ho passed hero
this morning." Astonished and Id
credulous, IVed him the reasons
for knowing these particulars by the
tracks of the animal, when he replied:
'It was a stray horse, because it did
not go in a direct line , his tail was
long for he dragged it ever the snow ;
iu brushing against a bush he ieft
some of his hair, which shows its col
or. He was very hungry,-for in going
along, he has nipped at those high,
dry weeds which horses seldem eat.
The fissure of the left fore foot left, al
so, its track, aud the depth of the in
dentation shows the degree of bis
lameness; aud his tracks slnstv he was
here this ruoruiuc; when the snow was
hard with frost."
At aaother place we came aoross an
Indian track, and ha saidV "It is an
old Yankton, who came acress the Mis
souri lost evening to look at his traps.
In coming ovef be carried in bis right
hand a trap, and iu bi right a lasso
to catch a pony he had lost. He re
turned without finding tho horse, but
had caught in the trap he had out
a prairie wolf, which he carried home
on his back aud a bundle of kinikiniu
wood he used for a staff for support,
and patching a welf also shows that he
had traps." "But," I asked, "how do
you know it's a wolf; why not a fox or
a cayote or even a deer?" Said he,
"If it had been a fox.or cuyote, or any
other kind of small game, be would
have slipped the head of tho animal
in his waist-heir,- and tn carried it bv
ul ii? ru his shotlb
Deer aro not caught by trans;' but if
if A Vtonn a d AOI ho n-rwilJ twt In.
crossed this high hill, but would have
gone back by way of the ravitie, aud
the load would have made 1,1a stops
still more totcring."
Another Indun track wfisaw twen
ty miles weft of this ho put this seri
ous construction upon : "He is an up
per Indian a prowling horse theif
carried a double shot guui and is a
rascal that-killed some white man
lately, tud passed here one week ago ;
for," said he, "a lone Indiana in Iheso
parts is bent on mischief, on tho look
out for horses.; He had on the shoes
of a white man whom ho had, in all
probability killed, but bis steps are
those of au Indian. ' Going through
the ravine, tho end uf his gun bit into
tho deep snow. A week ago we had
a very warm dav. and tho snew beinc
soft, he made these deep tracks ; ever
since it bus been intensely cold weath
er, wtiicn makes very (hallow tracks.
1 suggested that perhaps he bought
those shoes. "Indians don't buy shoes,
and if thev did thnv would .lot luiv
so largo as theBo were, for Indians
nave very small leet. "
WIIY At NT SAX. LIE NEVER MARRIED.
"Now, Auut Sallie, da please tell U3
why you never got married.' You re
member you said once that wheav you
were a girl vou were engaged to a min
ister, and promised you would tell us
all about it some time.- Now, Aunt,
please tell us."
"Well, you soe, when was about
seventeen years old -i was living in
Utica, in the Stato of New York.
Though I say it myself, I was quite a
good looking girl then, aud had sever
ul beaux. Tho ouo that took my fan
cy was a young minister, a very prom
isiug young man and remarkably
pious and steady. He thought a good
deal of me, and I kind of tuok a fan
cy to hini, aud things ran on until we
were engaged. One evening he came
to me aud put his arms around roe,
and kind of hugged me, when I got
excited and some flustrated. It was a
long time ago, and I don't know but
what I might have hugged back a lit
tle. I was like auy other girl,' and
pretty soon I pretended to be mad
about it and pushed him away, though
X wasn t mad a W. i ou must Know
that the house where I lived was on
one of the back streets of the town
There were glass doors iu the parlor,
which opened right over the street.
These doors were drawn to. I stepped
back a little from him, and v. lieu he
came up close I . pushed him bank
again. I pushed him a little harder
than I intended to; and don t you
thick, girls, the poor fellow lost his
balance and fell tlirutigh que of the
doors into tbe street.
"Oh, Aunty! Was he killed ?"
"No. He full head first, and as he
waj going I caught him by the legs of
his trousers. I held on for a minute
and tried to pull him back; but his
suspenders gavo way, and tho poor
voung man fell clear out of bis panta
loons, into a whole parcel . of ladies
and gentlemen passiurr along tin
streetl" '
"Oh ! Aunty ! Aunty 1 Lordy 1"
".There, that's right, squall and gig
gle as much as you waut to. Girls
that can't hear a little thing like that
without tearing around the room and
ho being in such a way don't know
enough to come home when it rains,
A nice time the man who marries one
of you will have, wou'the. Catch me
telling you anything again."
"But, Aunt Sally, wuat' became of
bim? Did you ever see him again ?
"No; tho moment he touched the
ground he got up, and left that pluce
in a terrible hurry. I tell you it was
a sight to be remembered. How that
man did run! He went out West,
and I believe be is preacuiug out in
Illinois. But he never married. He
was very modest, and I suppose he was
so badly frightened that time that he
never dared to trust. himself near a
woman again. That, girls, is the rea
son I never married. I felt very bad
about it for a long time for he wua a
real good man, aud I've often thought
to myself that wo should have been
very happy if bis suspenders hadn't
given way."
A C'jllius villa mother gave a five-dollar
ring to a worrying child, and, hav
ing quirted itself with it, the child
generously gave it to an uneasy dog,
who promptly swallowed it. Any one
finding a ring in his sausage will please
return it to the lady.
"Pretty bad uuder foot to-day,"
said ouo citizcu to another, as they
met in tbe street. "Yes, but it's fine
overhead," responded " tho other.
"True euough," said the Cr;t, "but
then very few are goin that way."

riOW DOES A I.HJHT BNil'E DRAW A
astAA w m a awn i ,
BY r&OF. J. D. BUTLER,
J
The first locomotive Arts patented
thirty vfors ago, DrKlng nly one
cor, if lightly loaded it tHU very well ;
but when the load it drew washoavisr
than its own weight, its wheels would
not bite that is, they would turn
round and round without advancing.
Hence a cow-catcher was needed be
hind to guard against cattlo runnioc
into it in the rear. It recrued at first
impossible to make a less weight nfove
greater on an up grade; and, for 17
years afterward, no ope invented a&
engine able to draw three limes its own
weight. At tho present day, however,
locomotives sweep along with trains
more ponderous by 15 or 20 tiroes
tti mi they are themselves. One means
of gaining this vast increase of power
lor the locomntive, was by divtdiaz
the load. It was found, tlmt anemriue
powerless to stir five times its weight
of freight when concentrated in one
car, could reudily draw it when dis
tributed in a dozen cars loosely
shackld together. It was. heavier
than each single car; and it bad over
come the inertia of each one, a . mo
ment before it encouutercd the iner
tia of another. It was thus moro than
a match for each car taken singly; nnd,
pulling them successively, it dreir after
tt a train as long as a comet,' and ' tt
farther it run the more strength it
had to rup further. Here was the
story of little David over again. Or
dinarily the stripling's weight, as he
told Goliuth, was one hundred and
twenty, but whenever ho got mad he "
weighed a ton. Moreover, the engine
forced the momentum acquired by
every car it had started, to swell its
own potency in overcoming tV,e fpsijt
auce of all that remained still motion
less. "This railroad achievement (making
a light engine draw a heavy train),- if
not so common would seem miracu
lous; and it is analogous to an expe
dient for securing a farm which ' is
equally simplo and equally efficacious.
It is this: 'Divide your payments.'
Buying, as 4,525 sellers have bought
of the Burl ingtoV and HiajoOri River
Road in Iowa or Nebraska, within the
last three years, on ten years' credit,
and at six per ceut.Jnterest, you par
in eleven installments spread over halt'
a life time, the first not due till the
beginning of the third year. Besides,
every acre you improve adds to your
paying power, as tho headway of evory
moving car reinforces the tractile en
ergy of the locomotive."
In purchases made since 1S72 noth
ing is due on the principal until the
beginning of the Cub year, aud then
only one seventh annually.
"Divide and conquer" is tho maxim
of Satan when he sows discard among
brethren. Uso it for your good as
SaUn will for your harm, and as
Stephenson did lo multiply the ' mag
ical forces of his inimvrtal and world-,
moving lucoruulivc. "Get mad and
weigh a ton." Own land and . nobody
shall ever own you. Be your own
mau!
THE t HIM USE LAHOR EXPERIMENT.
The New York Bulletin Las some
very interesting developments relative
to the fuilurs of the Oriental workmen
in New Jersey, whioh will disappoint,
the believers iu the coming uiilleniuiji
of Chinese labor ; ,
In spile of his apparent docility (ac
cording to this testimony) ho mani
fests a lamentable proclivity for the
highest wages goiug, and to check
this tendency n system cf isolation
and scclusiou from outside influence
is necessary. Intelligent whito men
are disgusted at their keenness in mak
ing a bargain and the difficulty of
overreaching them is a matter of gen
eral complaint. Tbe meek, almoned
eyed strangers who were glad to work
