CcLrzrrzR (Ya.) letter in tho Rich mond Enquirer: “I forgot to mention quite a novel and noticeable occurrence in open court to-day. A motion was made by Mr. Lewis, the Commonwealth's Attorney, to release on old and infirm ne gro man from payment of his capitation tax. While giving in his reasons for his exemption, the old jpan. gave a searching look all over the court room, and remark ed on its beauty and fine apyicorance, and said that if it hod not been opened with prayer before, he would like to do so then and thero; and instantly falling upon his knees, without interruption by the court, and amidst profound silence, he offered up a fervent prayer in behalf of the judge, the bar, tho officers and the people. Such a thing nevor, perhaps, took place before in a court room, but to have stopped him would have been mor tifying and cruel. The court suffered him to finish ; be occupied a very short time, got all he asked for, bowed and po litely left.” It is reported that Mr. Disraeli intends visiting this country next spring. Should his plan be carried out, he will have waited to a mature age before its execu tion. as he will complete his 68th year on the 21st of December. Lord Brougham meditated a similar voyage when near 70 yean old, but died without seeing our shores. While he was thinking of com ing, Punch published a picture repre senting him as a sea serpent, with the head of his lordship, in the act of swim ming across the Atlantic. A Tkxas journal estimates that fifteen thousand Democrats failed to vote in the recent election in that State. They were “ disgusted at Radical outrages, and thought their votes would do no good.” It is fortunate far them that so many other thousands had the good sense to go and vote. Disgust is a poor weapon in a political campaign, and there has never boon a time when an honest and intelli gent man’s vote was not of importance.. RAILROAD BUILDING. IV •!<! Way ana Use \ew. The Chicago Tribune of the lfith cutcj the difference as follows: The old-fashioned way was to hare a survey and an estimate of the cost of con struction and equipment; when this was done, there came a subscription to the capital stock, which was called in by in stallments until at least two-thirds or more of the work was completed, and the company had that much property actually built and paid for. Then a mortgage was issuod, and the amount of money neces sary to complete and keep the road in running order was borrowed. The modern style is quite different. tom men conclude to build a railroad with out the expenditure of a dollar. The first thing done is to form the company, and solicit subscriptions in Use bonds of the various towns, counties, cities, etc along the line,— for this purpose making lavish promises of depots and workshops. Having secured these, they neit issue construction bonds to an indefinite sum. Tho managers then organize themselves with others into a construction company, and make a contract with themselves to build the road. The bonds are sent to New York, when* a “banking-house” is selected and tlio bonds placed for sale. Tlie President. Treasurer, or whoever luu iho duty of selling the bonds, agrees that tho banker shall have the bonds at cents, and may keep all he can get over that sum; the committee, however, write home to tho "company” that they can get but GO cents, and are authorized to sell at that rate. The banker and the committee divide the 10 cents between them. The religious press is then employed to advertise the bonds, and some Chris tian statesman writes to a brother ad vising an investment in the enticing ten per oenL. bonds. Widows, guardians and trustees sell out their trust funds and in vest in these railroad bonds thu3 recom mended. 1 In tlie meantime the construc tion company goes ahead with its grad ing and building the road; the contracts are sub-let to friends of tho directors, and these sub-contractors run off and fail to pay for the labor or material. In this way the road is finally built from the proceeds of the municipal bonds obtained, by fraudulent representations, and tho construction bonds issued by the railroad company. Thero is then a meet ing in which paid-up capital stock, equal ing in amount the sum of the outstand ing bonds, is issued and divided among the directors directly, or given to them as the construction company; extortion ate rates for transportation of passengers and freights aro levied on the people who uso tho road; "freight" and "mining” companies aro organized by the managers, and contracts made with them by which they shall have a monopoly of the profit of transportation. If possible, an issuo of Recond-morb gage bonds is made, and when every dol lar tliat can bo robbed or squeezed out of the concern is exhausted, then tho di rectors retire; then tho road is sold, and tho old directors bny it in for ono-fourth of its indebtedness; or, better still, lease it in perpetuity to some other company for a pcr/onal annuity, leaving bond holders to get their interest as they can, and tho stockholders, especially tho mu nicipalities, without tlio. least evidence of titlo in their property.

A man in Humboldt county got out of ono tree lumber enough to mako his house and barn, and to fence in two acres of ground. A schooner was filled with shingles made from a single tree. One tree in Mendocino county, whoso remains were shown to me, made a mile of railroad ties. Trees fourteen feet in diametor have been frequenly found and cut down; the saw logs are often split apart with wedges, because the entire moss is too large to float in tho small and narrow streams, and I have of ten seen them blow a log apart with gun powder. A tree four feet in diameter is called undersized in these woods, and so skillful are the wood-chopper3 that they can make tlie largest giant of the forest fall just whero they want it, or, as they say, "drivo a stake with tho tree.” The choppers do not stand on the ground, but on stages raised to such a height as to enable the axe to strike in where the tree attains its fair and regu lar thickness ; for the red wood, like tho sequoia, swells at tho base near the ground. These trees prefer steep bill sides, and grow in an extremely rough and broken country, and their great height makes it necessary to fell them care fully. lest they should, falling with such enormous weight, break to pieces. This constantly happens, in spite of every pre caution, and there is little, doubt that in these forests, and at the mills, two feet of wood are wasted for every foot of lum ber sent to market. To mark the direc tion line on which the tree is to fall, tho chopper usually drives a stake into the ground 100 or 150 feet from the base of the tree, and it is actually common to make tlie tree fall on this stake, so straight do these red woods stand, and so accurate is tho skill of tho cutters. To fell a tree eight feet in diameter is count ed a day’s work for a man.—Harper’s Magazine. The Bio Tunnel.—The old project to make a tunnel under the Straits of Do ver, between France and England, has been again revived, a stock company having been formed in France to effect the purpose. It is believed that the for mation to be penetrated is nothing but on immense bed of chalk, for the boring of which machines have been invented that will bore a hole fifty-four deep and seven feet in diameter in twenty-four hours. The estimated cost of the tunnel between Calais and Dover, twenty-three miles, is $50,000,000. The stock com pany asks no subsidies from either gov ernment, but demands that it shall have a complete monopoly of the business of the tunnel. Nili.son’s Cow-Sheds.—AYe are told that Christine Nillson has erected an enormous cow-shed on her land at Peoria. She will doubtless tiiank the author of the following from the bottom of her pail for the information he so pleasantly places before her. The author, it may not be necessary to say, is a Chicago hard: Christine. Christine, thy milkin* do. The morn and the eve between. And not by the dim religious light Of the fitful kerosene.
