A Siupeu ou ttnierprisp.
The following extract from a letter
writtei bj a gentleman in New York to
a gtntleoaa living here, alludes to a gi
gantic scheme shortly to be set on foot
by capitalists in this city and we respect;
fully refer it to the scientific considera-
tioa of all who may be interested in each
matters. "By the way, this
letter is partly on business. I under
stand there is a gigantic speculation on
foot among Wilmington capitalists.
I want you to look into the
matter and, it it appears well, get me
sone stock. As I understand it, the
scheme is to quietly without exciting
suspicion, buy up all the land ia the
neighberhood of the North Pole. When
this is well in hand and there is no chance
for outsiders to secure any vacant lots
these money kings propose to Uy a wire
from San Francisco to Japan, thus form
ing a complete telegraphic line around
the earth roughly near the equator.
When you remember that the electric
currents of the earth at present run from
pole to pole, or ioBgitudiaally, the effect
of this defiance of nature's laws will at
once be obvious 0 a scientist like your
self. If the needle will not go to tho
pole, the pole must go to the needle.
A tremendous cataclasm will be pro
duced, the earth being switched around
a quarter of the circle, and one of (Kp
temperate rones will don our ulsters and
start our cigars by the northern lights
while the frisky Esquimaux will cultivate
he use of fans and neglect his trousers.
The country of icebergs will become the
and of milk and honey, emigration in
that direction will begin; property in
Grinnell's land will advance to fabulous
prices and tho fruits of ?agucitj, enter
prise and capital will be reaped. A good
thing may be made out of packing away
arge icebergs before they melt.
The great difficulty will be that the tre
mendous freshets which most ensue may
destroy property aud lives by creating
landslides. You might look over the
diagrams, however, and take fifteen or
twenty lots for mt. I want corner lots
at some poiat whtre yoa think there will
be a good harbor. I do not care to in
vest in property at aoy place where there
is not twenty feet of water on the bar."

Personal,
Mr. A. H. YanBokkelen, President of
the Chamber ol Commerce, returned here
1 st night from Vashingtoa City, where
he has been for some days past in the in
terest ef the river and harbor agpropria
tion for this port!. He is. we are pleased
to say, confident that the appropriation
for the Cape Fear, as reported by the
Senate Committee, will pass the Douse
as it has already passed the Senate.

ques. Meeting of Produce Exchange Cape
Fear & Yadkin Valley It. K.
A meeting of the Produce Exchange
was held this morning to take some at"
tion in regard to the bill now pending be
fore the Legislature advocating the sale
of the State's in rest in the Cape Fear
k Yadkin Valle R. R.
The meeting w . called to order by the
President, Mr. R. E. Calder,and Capt. N.
F. Thompson was requested to act as
Secretary. .
Gen. Imboden's letters to Gov. Jarvis
and the News and Observer were read
by the President.
Hon. A. H. YanBokkelen spoke
warmly in favor of the passage of the
bill and thought that the Company
which is a Tery large one, represented by
Gen. Imbeden would fulfill their con
tract. He thought that their proposi
tioa was a very binding one oa them and
is but an index of their good faith in the
matter.
Dr. A. J. DeRosset thought the prop
osition one of great imoortance to this
city and advocated the sale of tho road
to Gen. Imboden.
Capt. D. B: Murchisoa opposed the
sale and thought that it would be to the
interest of the state to allow the matter
to stand as it is. He thinks that the on
ly chance of eventually getting the
road to this city wag in leaving it in the
hands of its present owners. He says
that he feels convinced that the par
ties who wish the State to
give them the option of buying the
road are irresponsible and that their
bject in getting the option is specula
tive. Dr. DeRosset moved that a commit
tee, consisting of Hon. A. H. YanBok
kelen and Messrs R. E. Calder and B.
G. Worth, be requested to go to Raleigh
and advocate the passage of the bill.with
proper restrictions, and to see that there
could be no tranfer of the stock if the
bill should be passed.
Amended by Mr. Wm. Calder that the
committee be sent uninstructed and to
represent the interest of this city in the
matter. Carried.
The sense of the committee is that
with the light now before them it would
be tc the interest of the State and of
this city for the State to sell its stock to
Gen. Imboden for the company which he
represents. If alter they arrive in Kal
eigh should see any cause to change their
vie ws they coald do so.
The gentlemen composing the commit
tee will leave to-morrow morning.
