I want to say to the people of Savannah that he has l(een among us here and through t his county and State time and again in tho interest of iiis road, mi l we always hail him with glad hearts aud hands as being a man of profound sterling worth, for business and social standing, and in every respect highly worthy of all the encouragement that can be given him, and we sincerely hope that Savannah will do for him and bis road what wo have done, to-wit: Help him re move every impediment in the way of the most rapid progress of his enterprise. We hope, by his earnest and energetic efforts, to shake hands soon with Savannah across a territory that will pour our mineral wealth into her hands and enrich her stores and make Iter jieople happy. There is un told mineral wealth in our hills, aud we appreciate inexpressibly the efforts of Muj. West to afford us a means of getting it upon the markets of the world. Ever since he came among us the most abiding confidence has been placed in him by our people, and we are thoroughly con vinced that with any thing like a showing from the people along the line of his road and its respective termini he will build through at an early day.

From Washington Litter to Vie Baltimore American. The following story on Second Assistant Postmaster General Knott is too good to bo lost, and Mr. Knott himself is too keen a humorist to be wanting in appreciation of it. As is well known, Mr. Knott aspires to be Governor of Maryland, of which laud able ambition he makes no secret. Some time ago ho went to Atlantic City for several days, and one evening, when the tide was low—“so tho story runs”—he took a walk along the seashore. Yielding to the irresistible influence of his surroundings, he gave himself up to the sentimental part of his nature, ana as he looked out upon the ocean ami then upon the waves that broke musically at lii.s feet, he thoughtfully paused and traced some letters in the sand. A gentleman who sat upon the porch of one of the hotels came along after him and read the inscription. It was: “What are the wild waves saying?” He, too, paused a moment, and when Mr. Knott returned that way he saw immediately under his words the following strange in scription: “No G Konfortovenrort..” Ho looked at it carefully for some time, as if endeavoring to decipher the unknown characters. Tiu-n he stepped closer and put on his gla-ses. Being still unable to make them out, he readjusted his glasses, and, taking out a pencil and paper, lie carefully transcribed each letter and returned to the hotel. Tin’ llrst man he saw was the gentle man who had passed along the brack behind him. Handing him the paper, he said: “Hera’s a strange inscription l found upon the bench a while ago. What do you think of it?” The gentleman g)ane<-d at. it a moment and replied: “Oh, some little child scratch ed it in the sand, I guess. But give it to me. and I will wv it mere is anything in it.” The paper and pencil were accordingly handed over, while Mr. Knott seated him self and waited for the result. After some moments it was handed back to him, and by a transposition. of the letters rend ns follows: “No Knott lor Governor!” An inspoction of the hotel register afterwards revealed that the only other Mhrylsnder prasent was a well known Treasury official. Mr. Knot t says the story is not true. The Height of Economy, * FYom the Elmira Gazette. “There’s one thing 1 want to ask you, Mary,” said n kind parent the other day to his daughter, and it is this: Is Freddie in clined to be economical/ If he is not it is bet ter for you to break your engagement at, once.” "Economical, father/" replied the blushing young maiden ns she wound a pair of long sinewy arms about her dear papa's neck, "1 should say he was. Why the llrst. thing he does every night when he’calls is to turn down the gas real low, because, be says, the monopolists charge such an out rageous price for it.” And stv* looked up Into her father's face with such an innocent look that plainly said, “Isn’t he grandf” that the indulgent father 1m l not tho heart to say anything more.
