The fact that Sidney Dillon was one of the purchasers of the "Wheeling & Erie railroad some days ago again calls attention to a financier who has had an interest ing career. He is-one of the most popular of the moneyed powers of this country. He traces his gene alogy back to the Huguenots, if that is a matter of any particular importance in these days ol indif ference to the isms of sects. Some of his ancestors were Irish, but none of them happened to be kings in the old ilays when the harp of Erin shed the soul of music in Tara's halls. Sidney Dillon is tall, well built, with snow white hair and whiskers; being now well advanced in years. He used to be a water boy on the Mohawk & Hudson railroad, and worked for 81 a week. In after j'ears he rolled up a fortune of 15,000,000, but he lost heavy in the deprecia tion in the value of Union Pacific railroad stock. After working in dustriously as a boy, carrying a water pail to the brawuy laborers on the railroad for a number of years and carefully saving his money, as so few do, he was able to buy a horse and cart, and then he carried water and sand for the railroad. " He was brought up in tho humblest circumstances in the village of Northern New Fork where he was born, a'nd seeing the wealth and ease of tho largo farm ers in his native place he was filled with a desire to emulate their com fortable prosperity, and not only that but to far outshine them in measures of gold. He wot iced night and da', he lived frugally; he was a genial fanatic, as bent on conquering the avenues of wealth as Peter the Hermit was on de spoiling the infidels of the Holy Land. He was all energy and enterprise, never letting a chance slip whereby his savings might be augmented. In a few years he found himself able to hire or buy a number of horses and carts, and then he struck out in larger enterprises. He gradually secured railroad contracts, which proved very remunerative, and in his thirtieth year, when he married a very estimable lady of Amherst, Mass., he was in prosperous cir custances. This lady greatly aidei him by the influence of a ver . mi perior nature; his domestic 1 fe was at once a source of moral strength and of encouraging stim ulus. "When he came to New York he devoted himself to rail road contracts; he built the Fourth avenue improvement tunnel, at a cost of mi'lions of dollars. He had previously, however, super intended the building of the Union Pacific railroad, and in 18G9 had assisted at the laying of tho last rail. His emoluments from this work had laid a broader founda tion for a successful career in New York. Ho was at one time presi dent of the Union Pacific and was succeeded by Charles Francis Adams. He has been a director of Union Pacific, Pacific Mail, Western Union, Missouri Kansas & Texas,Delaware, Lackawauna and "Western, Texas Pacific, Man hattan Elevated and the Mercan tile Trust Company. At one time he had registered in his own name 45,000 shares of Union Pacific, 15,000 of Western Union and 10, 000 of Lackawanna, not to men tion his holdings of other stocks. Ho has done valuable set vice for Jay Gould, especially in connec tion with the Union f acihoj years ago, and the "Little Magician" stands by him to-day, though Mr. Dillon is not so powerful finan cially asin former times. Mr. Dillon's career, nevertheless, illus trates the amazing possibilities open to the poorest in the country. SAFE, SURE, AND SPEEDY. No external remedy ever yet de vised has so fully and unquestion ably - met these three prime condi tions as successfully as Allcock's Eoeous Plasters. " They are safe because they contain no deleterious drugs and are maunfactured upon scientific principles of medicine. They are sure because nothing goes into, them except ingredients which are exactly adapted to the purposes for which a.plaster is required. They are speedy in their action because their medicinal qualitiesgo right to their work of relieving pain and re storing the natural and healthy per formance of the functions of muscles, nerves, and skin.

The! assistant attorney-general' forthe interior department has fixed June 13 for argument of the ques tion that was brought up three years ago before the general fand office as to whether the Northern Pacific road possessed a grantof land from the head of Puget sound, at Tacoma, down to Portland, Or egon. The granting act and the 'charter provided for the building of a line to 1 uget bound, with a branch down the Columbia river to Portland. On both these lines grants were "iven, but the toad was built from Puget sound to Portland also, and a question has arisen whether any land was granted to the road for this line. The distance is about 150 miles, and the land involved aggregates about 2,500,000 acres. Tho over lapping of the grant aldng the Cascade branch, which is almost at right angles with the Tacoma branch, takes perhaps 1,500 000 acres out of the contro versy. An official of the Northern Pacific, who was here last winter, stated that the Cascade branch and the Tacoma division would be a direct route to " Portland, when built, and that it would bo a good many years before the Columbia river branch would be constructed, and he doubted, even if it were neces sary to save the granton that line, if it would be built. As a conse quence the road is very desirous of saving the lands along tho line from Tacoma, through Kalama to Portland, as they are very valu able and will form a valuable property, approaching as they do so near the coast.
