AHO rxiKCH xa.ix- In a country haTing 'a well-developed rail road system tbe number of persons occupied in railroad work la such aa would form a large Thus, according; to the Deutsche In dustrle Zeitune. tbe nnmbn of officials and workmen on Uie German lines at the end of 1T wu 272.831. while tbe correspond in mim ber for France, tbe previous year, was 182.U03. For every lOO.ouO of tbe population. 611 In tier many and 4U3 in Prance were engaged on rail roads.

Tbe greater number In tlie former ease la explained by the fact that, in relation to surface and population, Germany baa a larger network of railroads tban franca. For every luO kilometers of line tbe personnel is in Germany about In ranee, 827, and, therefore, nearly tbe same. Dividing the prraouoel Into four groups. It appeara; that tbe number of persons occupied wltb tbe general management is iu tiermaoy about three times wbat ii lain France per oue hundred kilometers of line, this being mainly due lo tbe greater division of tbe railroad system, in Germany, where there are seventy-four railroad Hoes wlib separate twenty-one In France. Next, a relatively leas number of persons are engaged In Germany than In France in line-service second group; and in trafllo and commercial service third; wnereas In train and work-shop service i fourth more persons are engaaed in Germany.

Tbe truffle on tbe German lines Is not, however, busier tban on the French; but tor tbe conveyance of tbe same number qf persons, or tbe same quantity of goods, tbe tame distance, larger personnel In this fourth-group is employed In Germany. Tbe French alaiistira Show that 68,685 persons who bud been in the army-- were engaged on French railroads at the date epecined; also, Vioi women. The former are pretty regularly distributed among alL the four groups, and the latter are most largely engaged In line-service. I W1LLUX H. T.

KXTKB. THOUGHT 0i BTCH A IHISO. Mr. Vanderbllt was Interviewed last Saturday regarding tbe rumors that be was on the point of resigning the control of his system of railroads, and that be would be succeeded by son Cornelius. When asked what truth there was in the reports, he replied: "My son told tne of a report to that effect this morning.

It is the same In my matters aa In every thing else. I and I have got to go away from home to get the newa. It was Juki an much newa to my son as it was to myself. Wby, my dear boy, I have not thought of such a thing." -How do yon suppose tbe rumor started asked tbe reporter. "it is a Wall street story, and that la about all that Is necessary to say about it." "Ultimately, of course, yon will resign control to your son "Like every one'else, I must do so, was tbe significant response of Mr.

Vanderbllt, who added, with a smile: "It is a matter of my boy's. Because I relieve myself of a portion of my business It ooes not signify that I am going to realgn my control." "lo change tbe Is the railroad war any nearer an and than itwas?" I offered to leave tbe matter to Charles Francis Adams, as you Know, but the other lines did not see fit to accept tbe proposition. 1 shall trouble myself no longer about the question. When tbe opposing linea gel ready to settle the diffjcultiea ahull be happy to luuen to ilieni, but I shall not bother my brain to ham up methods to adjust the dlf-f-rence. I did not start tbe fight, and there-tore it is not Incumbent on me to end iu It is tirange bow the stories about me start.

Tbe statement that I tried to crowd the basinets of the Erie off the Ohio Railroad lines is entirely without foundation, and Mr. Jewelt and myself are the best of friends." A SOaD THROUGH THE CHOCTAW hattok. Papers bave been laid before Congreaa by the President to show tbat the right of way across the lands or tbe Choctaw Nation in the Indian Territory was not obtained by the St. Louis and Ban Francisco Railroad Company wnbout formidable opposition. In the Choctaw House of KepresentHllves the bill In favor of tbe Kallroad Company was at first declared by the Speaker to bave been defeated by a tie Tote.

In Septembet lost the General Solicitor of the Chicago, TexaaOand Mexican Central Kallroad Company, organized for the construction and operation of a railroad from the Kio Grande River, Texas, to Fort Smith, and thence tey connecting linea to Chicago, the of the Interior to send an officer of tne Department to tbe Indian Territory to complete the necessary negotiations for a right of way through tbe lands of the Cboctaws and Chickasaw and afterward to report the exult to Conareas for ratification. The treaty of lstiS allowed the construction of only two railroads through tbe Territory one north and south and the other east and west and the franchise thus created has been bestowed on two corpora lion, whose railroads have been constructed in whole or In part. No other railroad could le built without tbe permtaalon of tbe Indian nation. Secretary Kirk wood reported to the President tbat. In his opinion, the material Interests of the people of the United States, as veil as the prosperity of the Indiana, would be promoted by tbe building of the proposed mail, and tbe President directed that he ttiould send an offices to make the.

negotiation. i THE WSSTWOOD COXXTJTKBS. There seems lo be no way by whleb tbe commuters and the managers of the 'West-wood arrow-Gauge Railroad can settle their difficulties. It was not long since tbat tbe rate on commutation tickets were materially changed, whereupon the commuters made some stn-peuuoui." sticks. naa been tbe custom of tbe road for some time to sell quarterly tickets for 12 and montnly tickets for to.

The quarterly tickets have been aboliHed, conse-quently ticker rood lor three mouths will ler cost 115. instead Of $12. The commuters oeld a' meeting the other d.y, wbereapou It was iwrerd tbat BDlen tbtt via rales were restored Viiey would organise and patronise a 'bus line. Tbe board of Directors met yesterday and determined to stand firm and maintain their recent rates, it they don't carry a single pas-euger. Mince the action of the Directors has been contrary to the wishes of the commuter, ilia evident that the 'bua line, will be started vuhin few days.

An Ewquibeb reporter Iwtcrday met one of the largest stockholders, bo said the road had not earned anything by carrying people at low rate, and in order tiiat the road mignC be made to pay expenses it was agreed to raise the rates. Tbe ottleersof the road think the com maters will soon lorsake the 'bua line, as- they can not be accommodated with the same conveniences thev are bv the road. Tbeu it will be cold riding In an omnlbns when compared with that of the can. A number of the commuters, rather tban patronise the road, yesterday bad tbe courage to walk to and from the city. The life of a commuter is by no means a happy one.

1881. Some one, commenting on the Mabone business in Virginia, says a flrst-elsss Democrat bas become of no more Importance In the Old Dominion tban be la. In Massachusetts. Tbe Boston Pilot frequently cheers Its readers wltb tbe remark that It is only a question of time when Democrats shall rule tbe Commonwealth, evidently calculating on tbe well-known prollfleness tbe Irish people; but hope deferred makettx tbe heart sick. Tbe Hibernian, of American growth reaches maturity and la captured by Republican glitter, or migrates to some Statewhere more Immediate returns ean be bad for his vote, or where the prospects for office are batter; at any rate, the party remains in statu quo.

Several times, as when GKHKBAX BUTLER Captured the party, bope bas run bat It was only to bsve expectations blasted, for tbe waters certainly receded, and Tantalus was left as dry as ever. When tbe change predicted by a few ever-bopeful ones will take place no man can tell, but. It seems a long ways hence. This practical subjection of a large party In tbia Slate has keptln obscurity many men calculated to shine In national circles; but if you will take tbe time to consider, you will be surprised to find tbat very few MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRATS' Are known outside of tbelr owd Bute lines; There is no chance for Congress, save in pne district, and none whatever for its Governorship. Is It any wonder, then, that the Democracy of tbe Bay State bas about It a good deal ot "pent-up TJticau" Last fall Governor Long was renominated, and the Democrats met and went through thw motions of nominating Cbarlle Thompson, of Gloucester.

What did it amount to? Thompson Is a good man; be defeated General Butler once In the ssex District, but It wss. from the beginning a foregone conclusion. Effort was confined to the electing of a few (very few at thai) members of tbe Legislature. Io be sure, tbere is In Boston a certain FREDERICK O. PRINCE.

Who bas been. Mayor of the Hub and Secretary of tbe National Democratic Committee; but who knows much about him? How does he compare wltb the Thurmans, Pendleions, Hteeduiaxia, Swings and a host of others from the Buckeye State? Owing to the almost perfect balance of parties In your Btale, men of both school of politics acouire national reputation, and tbus we bave the secret of Ohio's monopoly of candidates st tbe Presidential Conventions; but the public will wait one while before Massachusetts will present any name before the National Democratic Convention. But are there no Democrats Certainly there are, lots of them; but they are so peculiarly distributed tbat their votes dont count. are crowded Into certain wards of tbe cities where they nave every thing their own way: but the villages and small towns are almost a unit in tbelr Republicanism. Here we have eleven Congressional Districts, and in one only is there 4 Democratic Representative1 namely, the Fourth, and Re-pu Oilcans will tell you tbat Leopold Morse represents tbat to-day because of quarrels in theirwn.

camp. When Rufus t. Frost received the nomination, tbe malcontents voted for Morse, and when, two years afterward. Colonel Cod in an waa run, the Frosty oues turned in for Morse, saying that he was a good Republican enough for them. For birty years we bave had but one Democratic Governor, VI LAI AM GASTON, And bis election was purely accidental.

He was a good officer, however. The year 1K74 was a peculiar one. It ran Gaston In for Governor and sent to-Con gresa several Democratic Representatives; but at the next election hings dropped back, and we were again as we were. But it was not always thus. The time bas been when the Democracy of Massac tinsels sent np to the great Conventions delegates who had at least an even cbance for sacceaa behind them.

There Is yet living in this city BOM. ISAAC DAVIS, Who, in 1836. was a prominent candidate for the second place with Buchanan, and nothing bnt geographical considerations carried the nomination from Msaaaobuaetta to Kentucky. The party might have done much worse tban take the stanch old veteran, now, as then, a vigorous defender of true Jefi'erbonian principles. At the age of eighty aod past he is passing tbe evening of life In ease and com-tort, surrounded by all that wealth and loving friends can afford.

Inl8o6, too, KCFDS CaOATK Bald In Worcester that he gave in bis adhesion to tbe "party that carries the flag and whose step keeps time to the music of tbe Union." But those times are past, and this winter, owing to tha census giving oa one more Repreaentative in Congress, It Is proposed to revive that animal of Massachusetts birth, called, the Gerrymander, old Governor Gerry will live in tbat word long after every thing else concerning bini Is forgotten. You, too, are to make lta acquaintance this winter, I believe. The wise ones think they ean add tbe new district in soch a way aa to make every one a- sure Republican position. But such things don't always work, as both parties very well know. Time will telL But till tbe leaven of can work in tbe back towns of this State to make their people forget iftumner, Garrison and Whittier, and till the second growth of Irish shall stick Co tbe belief of their fathers, no one need build many hopes on Democratic success here, even though General Butler sboald live a score of years yet.

Your correspondent "Oath," in one 'of bis recent Interesting letters to the Exqcikcb, gave a long chapter In regard to tbe courtship and marriage of many prominent Americana, One paragraph in the letter 1 quota, for the purpose of making some correction. The paragraph Is aa follows: Forney, who died the other day, married, while a young printer, a lady in the town where be sprang p. While be waa Clark of Congress and editor of the financial organ of Pierce he accumulated some property, and being at the time Intimate with President Buchanan, tbe latter became trustee for Mrs. Forney in nearly a block of houses adjacent to tbe Post-office. heu.

some years afterward, Forney and Buchanan quarreled, the JSx-Fresldent refused to sign away the property as its fearing that Forney meant to use the money to attack biin. Buchanan, you may remember, never married. -It is related in Lancaster tbat be waa engaged, lo a delightful woman, but with hie cold nature he treated her once so disdainfully ihat she died. Harriet Lane, Buchanan's nieee, a fine-looking woman, did not marry either, through eou-aiqeration for her uncle, until be bad been long out of tbe Tbestoryof Mr. Buchanan's courtship and eontreUmp with his lady love which Induced bim to live and die a bachelor bas often been told, bat tbe writers, like "Ostb," never seem to bave learned tbe real history of the ease, wblcb was relsted to me over forty years ago by an Intimate friend and neighbor of Mr.

Buchanan, tbe late John Snyder, of Pittsburg. Mr. Buchanan, after be returned boms to Lancaster, after tbe War of 1812, opened a law and his talents and Industry soon aeon red tor him a large and lucrative practice watch extended over Lancaster and tbe adjoining eoanties. He was a large, fine-looking young man, and bis society was very much soorht after, especially by the ladles. In the course of time he beeame engaged lo marriae to one of LaacaMer'a beautiful and accomplished daughters, a bigb-mloded, independent, but rather baugbty and domineering lady.

Professional Lublncsa called Mr. Buchanan to a neighboring county, where he remained for several days, and when he returned, late in the day, he found hlnortlee filled witn clients awaiting bis arrival, who kept bim engaged ami! alter tbe una at bed-boor at nifcbt. without even affording him an opportunity to take hit supper. As soon as he waa relieved from bis clients be hastened to the home of bis lady-love, only to nod it closed and dark, ilarly the next raoruinit, however, he repeated Uie vuit. He rang Uie ball, when a servant appeared, and ia re- Spouse to bis inquiry tut the object of bis vhrttvwa Informed thafshewasnot at home.

This he knew was a falsehood, for be eangbt a glimpse of the lady through an, upper euam-her window as be was approaching the bouse. He went away, bnt never called Both parties were too proud and Independent to ask or make an explanation. The lady soon afterward went Into a decline and died. Mr. Buchanan never courted aotber- lady, and, although fond of the society of tbe geutle sex, be lived and died a bachelor.

TJp until the rupture between Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Forney, growing out of tbe Leoo nap-ton Conatitution fight ja Kansas, no men were warmer or better friends than tboae two gentlemen. The old at Philadelphia, whew edited by John W. Forney, wss always considered the personal organ of Mr.

Buchanan. Forney was poor and extravagant, and, aa hie paper waa principally supported by politicians, be waa always bard np tor money, and was standing pensioner npon the bounty of bis political friends. He wae constantly borrowing money borrowing from Peter to pay Paul, la the year IMS the writer hereof, then editor of tbe Plttsbnrg Morning Post, on bis way to Philadelphia, stopped off by Invitation of Mr. Buchanan to visit him at bis Wheatland borne, near Lancaster. One day.

In opening and reading hlalarce mail, he Books out and said "Here ia tba same old atorv: Forney is again In financial trouble: bis creditors have called a meeting and wiah me to auend, but I will not go. He owes me SooO, and I know be ean not pay it. Poor Forney 1 If bis income was Si MO orSlO.000 a year bewoald spend It all. I will send to him at ones a receipt In foil for all demands.

As Clerk he made a good deal of money, more th bis family necessities reqaired. He told me he hsd an opportunity to Invest it in real estate in Washington, but be waa afraid his creditors would take it from bim, and be earn to me to ask my advice.

I advised him that be might invest, It in the name of bia wife, tbroogbjthe intervention of a trustee. This Idea pleased bim, and be. asked and obtained my consent, to, act as This was when I was a privste citisen, living at Lancaster. 1 beard nothing more about tbe matter until some years afterward, when I became President. Forney then-auarreled with me because 1 000 Id not give him tbe beat office in tbe gift of my Administration.

He wrote me insolent letters, demanding that I shousti reoonvey the property to him. I told him this was Impossible tor me to do, unless by a proceeding in a Court of Chancery of the District of Columbia, in wbieb tbe President ot the United Slates would appear as one of tbe psrties to tbe suit, and this I would never consent to. Moreover. I -Informed bim that do one could suffer by letting the matter remain as it wss: thst the property was advancing in value every day, which would result to tbe benefit of bis wife, who wss a most estimable woman. Indeed consider tbe purchase of that property, and the appointment of a trustee to secure it to his wife, the most sensible act Forney ever did." The maidenhood and subsequent marriage of Harriet Lane were in no way influenced through consideration for ber uncle." Mlas Lane, although a fine-looking and remarkably intellectual lady, was but little known beyond tbe immediate circle ot her Intimate friends.

When Mr. Buchanan became President, being a bachelor, be very properly selected bis sister's daughter. Miss Lane, to prealde over the White House. Bhe wss a large, well-formed and remarkably attractive lady, and soon became a great favorite wltb tbe Washington society of those days, wh'leh wss chiefly composed of tbe Demo- cratio aristocracy of the south. She had many admirers, and not a few sought ber hand in marriage.

A. Mr. Johnson, a wealthy Baltimore banker, waa the fortunate gentleman who secured hand and heart. Mr. Buchanan bad two sisters, Mrs.

Lane and Mrs. Dr. Yates, of Meadvllle, Penn. During tbe "Hard-cider" campaign ot 1840, I edited the Crawford Democrat at Meadvllle, and bad tbe pleasure of numbering Mrs. Yates among my friends.

She waa an amiable and warm-hearted woman. Mr. Buchanan visited ber that year, while he was on a "stumping" tour through Pennsylvania. I made a full report, of bia speech in Erie, and before having It put In type I thought it best to suomlt the manuscript to bim for revision aud correction. He returned the manuscript to me the next day.

and. after complimenting me highly for the aecoracy of tbe report, requested that 1 would withhold its publication for a week or two, aa he had (Ar oiAer engogsiawifc t-i tptak before A relumed to Lancaster, and only one epeech prepared or all Ae poinls, and be, therefore, did not wlsb any publication made until after bis last speech waa delivered. He moreover informed me be bad made similar request or John W. Forney, then editor of tbe Lancaster Intelligencer, who already bad the speech In type, set from the original manuscript, and It would appear in that paper the same day he would close bis campaign at Harrisburg. Aa Mr.

Hew to Treat Wlaow earaalanss. American Agriculturist. Amateur cultivators of geraniums, as general thing, seem to fear to use the knife; could the plant suffer pain they would not be more reluctant to cut. The proper method ia to prepare tbe plants for taking in long before the time of lifting them; but it Utoo late to advise that, as it is to suggest pruning them at the time of taking them up.

ven at thla late day it Is belter to cut back tbe geraniums to a good snaps than to let them remain as tbev are, misshapen things. Of course each plant will have iu own needs in this respect, and only general advice can be given. Cut back tbe long stems in such a manner that tbe plant will form a low, rounded bead, and remove altogether such branches as. will make the bead too much crowded. Tbo Dignity of Wlmaenasicca.

Formerly, and in most schools yet, book-keeping constituted the business course-now we can leach the theory ot book-keeping in a few lessons. But book-keeping alone is not in demand In business.
