She treats patients of both sexes, has the names of over six hundred families on ber practice books, and more business than all the half dozen male doctors of the place put together. In carrying on herproiesslon she drives between forty and fifty miles every day. She ls remarkably successful as a doc? tor. She is a handsome woman of forty, clear-headed, light-hearted, strong-willed, vi? vacious and intellectual. Her husband Isa New York merchant. -A proposition has been made to thc ? gov-1 eminent, by the Kansas Pacific Railroad, look-j lng to the utlllzillOQ of the buffaloes, which now roam In vast herds upon our Western plains. This plan ls simply to reserve large tracts of ground for the purpose ol breeding and rearing the animals, which are to be "corraled" therein as cattle are "corraled" in Texas. The uses of the buffalo to civilization are' two-fold. In the first place, if not too old, the buffalo serves for very good eating-In fact, In the way ot a steak he cannot be Bur passed, unies.', indeed, an epicure should pre? fer the "haunch." Then, again, his shaggy covering, reduced to a "robe," becomes very valuable. Ou the whole, the buffalo or bison, unlike most undomesticated animals, is useful to man In various ways, and the idea of thus utilizing lt strikes us as being a good one. Certainly lovers of good eating would be glad to be able to order of their butcher buffalo meat for breakfast or dinner, as they now do in ihe matter of more familiar but less juicy ani? mals. -Probably the swiftest locomotion possible to mau without too much risk to life ls that achieved by what are termed "ice-boats." On the Hudson River, near Poughkeepsie, the otberday, one of these boats, the river bein" frozen over to the depth or l?verai Inches" sallied for a distance of eight miles. This <iis> [ tance was made In the extraordinary lime ? of | eight minute?. The wind was blowing a gale, and the boat carried full sail. To fay that lt went with the swiftness of the wind would fail lo express \ti rate of speed. The men on board (Ave In number) could scarcely see. offing to their rapid motion; their eyes were, greatly affected, and water flowed free them. Like the traditional Dutchman cork leg, no sooner dil the "Whiz" propriate name o? the boat-make h pearance ata given point, than like a fl astonished observers on shore in seconds' time saw her speeding a halt away. What is curious, too, about thet is that they tack and "stand" off and readily ci a vessel sailing upon the Were such a thing possible as the Ii over of the Atlantic Ocean, one might Europe in one of these vessels, the favoring, in something more than a di night. A curious BUbjectfor reflectlo consideration ol human possibilities 1 -Owing to the masterly and lng cross-examinations of Mr. O'Conor, the estate case bids lair to become one ot th remarkably "long-drawn-out" of its kl record. Six or eight weeks ls now set as the minimum lime lor the trial, in pl ten days or a fortnight, as originally int The witnesses tor the defence are not y h aus ted; and during the first three days present week they have been brought u? cesslvely, and subjected to a vigorous " lng" process which they will be likely member for the rest of their limited Among the witnesses was ex-Fire M Baker, who testified that Madame Jumel him in 1859 to examine into the cause i horning of a barn on her premises, savio she believed it had been set on fire b Chase or Mr. Perry to drive her from her and that she bad a good mind to send fe son and have him drive out the whole of the Chases and Perrys, who, she said, worrying ber to death, and let her soc complete charge ol her property. Ai witness, an old man named Hull, of i dence, testified tbat Madame Jumel in life went under the name of Betsey Bi that he saw the plaintiff in this action wh was only a year and a half old; that Ma Jumel, or Betsey Bowen, acknowledged a3 ber son; that Bhe went away to New and came back again to Providence, ci herself Madame Jumel, and delivered a le there; and that the people received her some derision, styling her Betsey Bowen, trial, which is Invariably attended by a c of Interested spectators, ls continued reg ly from day to day. A Word to tbe Stockholders of the St Carolina Railroad Company. A desperate effort ls making, in tb terest of the Central Railroad of Gee and the City of Savannah, to ruin the S Carolina Railroad, to impoverish the pie of South Carolina, and to destroy City of Charleston. I This is to be accomplished by obtait control of the South Carolina Railroad lease or otherwise, and by retaining t control until its immense Southern i Western business is permanently diver into other channel?, when it will be tos aside like a squeezed orange, or sold satisfy the demands of its debenture ere? ors. Exorbitant rates, intended to mi up in part for stoppage of through bi uess, will be imposed upon the local traf every dollar of which increased rales will a tax upon the people of this State, n may appeal in vain for relief to a fore] corporation whose only object is to susti a rival railroad and build up a rival ci With higher rates charged for freight and frem Charleston than to and fr< Savannah, with the whole power of t Georgia Central Railroad and the leased bought South Carolina Railroad direct against Charleston, this city would obta no other business than such as might dri ble down from a few way-stations in tl interior. The city would be as complete isolated as when every railroad leading fro it was torn up by the Federal soldier Desolation and decay would swiftly ai surely fellow. The plans, of the public enemy are no known. They have already bought, at third of its face value, about one-fifth i the entire stock capital of the South Can lina Railroad. Unless they find us full prepared, they will attempt to lease tb road at the meeting of the stockholders t be held in Charleston, next Tuesday. J they fail in this-and we have shown else where that the proposed lease would be a disastrous to the stockholders as to th< people at large-they will endeavor to con tlnue their purchasing of j?tock until thei have a? controlling vote, when they wil either compel a lease, or, without a lease, work the road against this State, and foi the sole advantage of the Central Railroad and of Savannah. The first step, then, is to defeat at the coming meeting any movement looking tc a lease of the South Carolina Railroad, 01 to a change in its wise and fruitful policy. There is stock enongh held by South Caro? linians, whose every interest is in this State, to reject any such proposal by a decisive vote. The Central Ring must be whipped and handsomely whipped, that they may know that this people are not so foolish as to sell their trade and their commerce, their whole security and prosperity, for a beggarly and precarious dividend. In order that this may be done, beyond peradven? ture, we exhort every stockholder of the South Carolina Railroad Company, who owns property in this State or city, or who ?3 dependent for bis business upon low rates of freight and free competition, to send bis proxy at once to some gentleman in Charles? ton whom he can trust, and whom he knows to be more deeply concerned in guarding and fostering the public interests than in reaping a profit from a stock speculation. If this be done, and ( done quickly, the first attack of the Central Railroad Ring will be sharply repulsed. We shall then have time to carry into effect measures which will make iv impossible for any rivals, however powerful, to U9e our main trunk railroad as a means of enriching them, and o? reducing to beggary a community now fairly recovering from the losses of pest'- [ lenee and war. ? Tbc I.eate of the South Carolina Kail road lp the Central Railroad-It? Cer I tain and Unavoidable Kranit. When we said that the proposed lease of | the South Carolina Kail road wonld result in the sale of the road to satisfy the accruing bond debt, we gave utterance to no imagina? ry or forced conclusion. It will be a cer? tain, unavoidable result. It is said the en? gagement of the lessee will be to pay a divi? dend of four per centum. How is it sup? posed that this can be done ? It is said by raising rates; that both roads, under one control, can do so. But cannot the rates be raised by agreement between the roads, as well as by a lease of the one road to tbe other ? Surely so. Why, then, are they not raised ? Is it not because the management or the Central Road Torces the reduction? But if the Central Road nowforces the re? duction, for what purpose will it in the future, as a lessee, increase these rates ? Will the increase of rates on the Sooth Caro? lina Road bring business to Charleston? Will it not certainly force it to Savannah ? And if this is BO, will not the decrease of business carry with it, of coarse, decrease of income? The business of the South Carolina Road ls thenceforth directed to Savannah; the income of the South Carolina Road is no longer adequate; the necessity for keeping the engagement as to dividends no longer exist3, and the easy extrication from that engagement is to allow the road to be sold at the instance of those who bold I the matured bonds. Ali this Beems to us so plain that we do not see how any can doubt. It is not neces? sary for ua to say that the proposed- lessees of the South Carolina Road at this time contemplate this result. It is sufficient for us to Bay that, whether contemplated or not, it must come as the necessary, unavoidable result of the lease. We suppose that the Directors of the South Carolina Road are at least as anxious as could be the lessees of that road to make a dividend for the stockholders. They have felt that the condition of the road up to this time did not warrant it. What can the lessees do with it that will make its opera? tions more profitable, for they cannot lessen the debt, and, therefore, the increase of its profits can be the only source from which they can perform their promises as to divi? dends ? Now, it is too absurd fer belief that they intend to promote the interests of j stockholders of this road, to their own detri? ment. They do not propose to take away any business from tbe Central Railroad or the City of Savannah. Then we are carried back to tbe increase of rates; and we aie to believe that business is to be secured to the South Carolina Road by an increase of its rates. If Bach explanations can satisfy any thinking stockholder, then all we can say is that he is a moBt easily satisfied person. But in this ever recurring increase of | rates, it is. not remembered that to these rates there is a limit fixed in the charter of I the road. These cannot be exceeded. And if rates are raised as high as these limits expressed in the charter allow, we predict that the loss of business in cons?quence of the increase of the rates would not make the results of business equal to what it is now. It may be that we shall be told all this amounts to an announcement that the South Carolina Railroad cannot, perhaps will never, pay dividends. Far from it. We be? lieve that it will not be long before the pay ment of dividends to its stockholders will be certain, and recompense them for the delays which they have borne. We believe, more? over, that it will be only and so long as the ownership and control of the road is with the people of the State that the stockholder will bave his stock or receive bis dividends. The real value of the road is more fixed and positive at this day than it bas been since the close of the war. And the proof of this is in the fact which has caused this expres? sion of our opinions-that the stock of the road is sought for by capitalists io other cities, and a rival and competing road that hitherto acted as if it ignored its existence, now is sufficiently moved by its progress to boy off its opposition. It is to the great advantage of our city, as a seaport, that, in the great trials of the lost seven years, it has been able to main? tain itself. Take from it its control of the communications with those places from which come commodities that are its ex? ports, and yon may as well fill np its chan? nels, and let its docks and wharves go to utter decay. Whenever you can bring pro? duce here as cheaply as to any other sea? port, it will come. It is only when it does come freely that we shall prosper, and it only can assuredly so come when here we con? trol the means of communications, and these means directed to the great end of re storing to the city and its people the success and prosperity of former days. We have expressed ourselves in relation to this proposed lease in plain terms. We feel that we are on the defensive. We have the right to sound the alarm and arouse our people to the danger with which they are threatened. We have not considered wheth? er sacb a lease or any lease of the South Carolina Railroad can be made consistent with its charter. Of that we do not pretend to judge. But we have seen in one State its whole railroad interests absorbed by a lease to a great monopoly in another State, and the ineffectual efibrts of a part of the peo? ple of that State to prevent this barter of tbe franchise which the State gave to its own citizens. We believe that duty to the State, to the city and to ourselves will pre? vent us from doing here what in other places has been so unwisely done, and which was deeply regretted when done, but could not then be undone. &3ricnitit?t fjoriirounri, Ut.
