Iu addition to his editorial work, be was called upon for outside service, which told upon bis health, and again lie required rest and change. Early in 1870 he opened a wholesale paper commisaiou house in New York, and it was during liia residence in that city that he became a membor of the Episcopal Church. He was also active in politics, being a mem- bar of, and part of the time, officer in the famous Tammany organization, which by the way, he always loyally supported despite the many charges brought against it. The paper business proving unsuccessful, Mr. Bucher became interested in mining, and spent considerable time in Colorado.

In 1873 he opened a Fire In surance Agency in Haw York. L'ltei ou he was commissioned by theCitizacs' Fire Insurance (Jo. to supervise its risks in New Euglaud.

Grant 'as if I bad been married in church, as girls are now, with a great crowd of people to see me. It wasn't tbe fashion then, by tbe way, for girls to be married in church. They were always married from their own homes, and in what would be thought iiow, I suppose, a rather too informal way. 'I remember, for instance, that Lieutenant Grant--be was just a poor lieutenant then--came to see me on the morning of tbe day we were to be married. And never shall I forget how tbe family, especially the girls, teased him about it.

Water Front Terminal to be Established in South Baltimore--Sixty five Miles of New Road to be Built. The Western Maryland railroad stockholders at a special meeting authorized an increase of the common stock from J685.400 to $60,000,000 and an issue of $50,000,000 general mortgage bonds.

The money is to be used to carry out the extensions, improvements, planned. About $2 000.000 is to be spent for new equipment, and about $4,000 000 to build tbe extension from Cherry Bun to Cumberland, which is necessary to connest the Western Maryland with the West Virginia Central. This extension will be 65 mi lea long and when completed, tbe West Virginia Central will be consolidated witb the Western Maryland and operated under its charter. Tae bond issue is to cover also tbe extension to tidewater along the Gwynn's falls route, the purchase of land from tbe Winans, Callow and Pratt estates and other owuers along the water frout in South Baltimore and tbe establishment of teimlnals; for tbe tunnel through tbe Blue Ridge Mountains, and the reconstruction and improvement of the road the retirement of all existing indebtedness of tbe road and the acquisition of the stock of the West Virginia Central and Pittsburg Railway. The latter plan means tbe repayment to the Fuller syndicate of money spent in buj- iug the two roads.

A connection is now being built between the West Virginia Central and tbe Wabasb System. At the annual meeting of the stockholders on Wednesday the directors of tbe Wistern Maryland chosen by the GouM mieiuats some time ago were reelected, though a number of changes were made in tbe personel of the boards of the other companies.
