Cadizriiiis Scene In a conversa-
A correspondent reporting the scenes
and incidents 'of the Cleveland Conven
tion of-in - tense •"rsdieals," thus describes
a ludicrous, episode: aSuinevery important
businessi4efure tae convention; a duzet,
men are - trying to get the dour, and the
affable Cochrane has risen-to his feet, and.
with appealing gestures-and au. horitatiet
tunes, is eping to -restore order, when
Suddenly, pealing over the tumult, like a
boutswain'S shrill whistle in a storm,
comes a ilittek of 'Mr. Speaker I' Every
body stops to ascertain the author of this
remarkable noise J the chairman glances
just at his feet, and there, with upturned
face and extended liands,ls a thin, short
haired, small-headed wan, still vocifetat
ing in a thrill treble, 'Mister Speaker !'
'What name?' inquired the chairman, as
he looks with a•puzzled air at the little.
fellow below him. 'Mr. Carr, of I.lli
aois-l'
"Si!epee Deigned in a moment, and all
eyes were fixed on Mr. Carr, of Illinois,
with wondering expectancy. Taking his i
lottith bat in his right hand, and giving
the air a prihiminary paw, as if to smite
down an inisible foe, Mr. Carr, of Di
'
nois in a voice-which twanged in goid !
old Methodist prayer-meeting style, cow. 1
wenced as! follows, occasionally ending i
his smatenees with a repetition, aiiti al
wonstrofis about :
" live out is Illinois, and I done two!
days' work in one, and I went to bed ail
noon tired out. And I was reading in
the Try bane about the Cleveland Con
vention, and, I says, Wife, I sin tired out,
but I west go to the Cleveland Conven
tion, and that afternoon a neighbor come
in, and ',Says to him, says I, Neighbor,
must Conte to the Cleveland Convention.
And I come: A.lthough: I was all tired
out. I come I: Yes, sir, I come hundreds
of miles to attend this Convention, and I
don't want to be favored a mite! Nut' a
single mite,' NOT A SMILE MITE l' "
This \ singular and unexpected climax
produced a roar of laughter, which dis
concerted the gentleman for a moment
but, in a few ructmeots he resumed by
saying, after' giving a fierce scowl at the
audience—'-These are solemn times these ,
are SOLEMN TIMES !" at which the an•
diebce burst into an uncontrollable fit of
laughter. This evidently ani.oyed Idr.l
Carr, of ; fur, as the Chairman!
restored a little order, In commenced!
savagely believe that there is a I
Gob, who holds this universe in Ili.,
hands es Sol! 'would hold an egg—hold

Another tumult of uproarious laughter)
from the innocent Dutchmen, in which'
the Clia'rman and everybody else joined.
overwhelmed Mr. Carr, but he. a into
went after, emerged frill, the inundation,'
and, shaking his fist frantically at the'
top of his voice— "Don't you believe in a
God—don't you believe in a God—DON'T
YOU BELIEVE tNI. GOD It"
The wanner of the idividual was so '
irresistibly lud!wous that the whole eon
vett-lion was lardy convulsed with laugh

weoced backine . to the door, bowing iron-.

every rtep, and turning at each inotioti I
to beg pardop of Rancho : di: behind hip.;

RAILWAY MATTERS. 1
_ . :•• 1 •
The tOndon Railway lt!fws ha s the -
following article in relation to the Atlan= '
tic & Great Western Railway: 1 .
ATLAN'IIt AND GREAT VirElitratiq
RAILWAY.—On a previous occasioe we
pointed ant the rapid progress made in
the c onstruction of thisLimporta . nt through
line. of railway, the success whioh_it.bad
already attained, and the vast prospetts
of, its future. The directors have ! - not
slackened in their exertions, and it is' now
confidently stated -that by the month 'of
May, express trains will be run throat:li
from New York via the Erie, Atlantic
and Great Western, Cinninnati,l3amilton
and Dayton, Ohio and Mississippi fiail,
ways, to 'St. Louis—the whole distpnce,
1,200 mileswithout break of guage.—
That portion of the route which forms
the Atlantic and Great Western :section
has 'been built under the superinteoda pea
Of Mr. Keunard, an English eugineer,
well known- for many important under
takings whieh . he has successfully carried
out in this country. The cost uf thCline
has not exceeded £6,409 per-mile. The
income of that portion already -.opened
amounts to £3O 'per week, and within one
year of the opening: of the through route
it is confidently anticipated that the 're
ceipts will be doubled, or sufficient to pay
a dividend of 25 per cent upon all, the
share capitol ill the undertaking. ,The
railway. after leaving the Erie line, trav
erses the coal fields of Peinisylvaniaj the
district of the oil wells, and` the rich corn
prudueit'g lauds of 'Ohio. It enjoy al
most a monopoly of the petroleum traffic,
and for this, as the - ordinary traffic. a 'roll.'
m. , stock of 10.000 ears and 500 locettio- ,
ti es, are, i: is stated, quite insullicieut
The plan which has been adopted in, the
coustractinn of the railway is one which
proved in a rewarkable manlier the confi
denee of its promoters. The publiC are
/ not invited to subscribe to the railway in
the shape of shares, and until the line is
completed and actually at work, no bonds
or other securities are issued.' Th 6 first
mortgage bonds on the Pennsylvania sec
tion were bearing 7 per cent. interest, Pay
able in sterling at 4s. 6d. in London, were
issued to the public it 70 dollars for, the
100 dollar bonds, and they are. now, not
withstanding the temporary pressure, tip
on all American securities, quotld at more
i than 10 per cent. ever the price, of issue.
llt isnow proposed to issue secoud mort
nage loans on the New York division to
the amount of 6300,000 dollars, and upon
the Pennsylvania section of one million
dollars, the former due in
. 1881, and the
latter in ltiS.2. These bonds, like those
of the first issue, bear Interest at the . rate
jof 7 per cent, per annum; and are redeem
!able in New York or London at 4s. ,tild.
I per dollar: The bonds are transferable
without stamp or endorsement, and . ..iiper
cent . of the gross amount is to be drawn
yearly in July, to be paid off at par iu
London. The interest coupons attached
to the bonds are payable half-yearly at the
Consolidated Bank, at the:fixed rate of
4s. the dollar,. equal to'9 per cent. upon
the present price of issue. .
The followin=g extract from the Buffalo
Commercial Advertiser gives some inform
ation relative to*the proposed extensions
of the railway in the direction of Canada,
and the advantages which must' result to
the Great Western of Canada, the Grand
Trunk and other colonial lines, from being
brought into direct communications with
, the cast coal-fields of Pehnsylvania. A
Iline which will give direct access with
New York, must prove 6f immense ad =
I van tage alike to the Great Western of

iCanada and the Atlantic and Great' West

I pot tion of the Canadian -produce will be
carried.
The Niagara Falls, the Buffalo and
Luke Huron, the ,Lake Shore, the . Erie

Erie and Niagara Railway will enable the

has branch lines to Cleveland and Cit Tin•
nazi. Its broad gauge meets that of the
Erie Railway Of correspomiing width ht
Salamanca,.ab.out fifty wiles from Buffalo.
Branch roads will radiate to the coal fields
of the Tunatigewant Valli)? in Pennsyl

miles of the broad gunge railway will con

twooty miles this side the tool-fields) With

rapidity. Aline (including•its branthes)
of about 1500 miles-has been - constructed
within, three years, and is to- - day doing.a
first-class business, carrying traffic , past
us to and from those abroad. - •
Now is the golden Opportunity, for But '

Atlantic and Great Western-Railway into
Buffalo, the coal-fields, only-steeity miles
distant, -will be -reached,. there* obtain'. .

an additional inducement -to the enter
prism(' and sagacious wen, who move the
destinies of the lAtlantic and Great West-'
ern to give us their coal supply at an early 1
tiay, Men who', have been tonstrunting
and equipping a railroad at the rate of
2,09 miles per annum, will, without much
effort, construct the sixty tulles wanted
to give us' cheap oval fur hat winter, if
we meet them fairly. It may have occur
red ,to our readers that the Elie and Ni
agara Railway, from Fort Erie to the town .
of Niagara, holds au interesting position
'in this great coMbination of carrying ad.
vantages for our city.' Although only,
thirty-two milea,in length; it connects the
two lakes, and having Buffalo.and Toronto
(with the aid of twenty-seven miles 'of
water traveLon Lake Ontario) 'for its ter

help looking with marked favor upon - it,
'as a railway that will haVe I very great

;
THE NEW COAL ND RAtt.WAY COI
PANY.—The fact that the Genesee Valley
Canal is, as soOnas practicable, to be cin-(
neeted by a railroad with the richest Coal
fields of McKean county, Pa., should, as
it does, interest every citizen in Roches
rei. The construction of this road is of
more consequence to our future prosperity
than any and all the improvements ever
made which affect our local interests and
substantial progress.' This City is now
destired to become one. of the most im
portant coal marts in the country. '
This important enterprise has teen
talked about for six or eight years, and at
last such gentlemen as the Hon. Azariab
Boody, Messrs. H. Sibley, G.' H. Mnui
ford, John Craig and' others, have taken
the matter-in their bands and will push it
through without it day's unneccssarydelay.
The books were opened a few days since.
so that those who desired to take avid
the stock might have an opportunity, and
although no public notice was given, the
stock wta all taken about,. as fast as the
subscribers', names could be written, and
when the whole amount, was taken and
books closed, a number 'of capitalists were
greatly disappointed who had.expected tb
take a larger interest is the company.
The stock, we understand, is selling at
ten per cent. advance, anu facts werrant
the belief that it will in a very short space
of time advance to fifty per cent. premium,
if not more. This is a Rochester move
ment. and we congratulate the parties
interested. while at the same time ~ every
eitizen is to share, indircetly. in this , im
portant ruovetueut.--Rochester Dispatch.
A WAR A NRCDOTE.—The Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati Commer
cial tells this story :
"In n ne of the hospitals in this city, a
day or two ago, a wounded Virginia rebel
ar.d a tioundrci Penneylvanian,occuppng
