Show Personal. We had the pleasure of a call yesterday evening, from Col. Hooker, formealy of the Rock Island Pacific R. R-, and Mr. Stevens, General Gene-ral Western Agent of the same road. Tho Colonel has left railroading, and returned to "first principles," and is, now engaged in the staging business between California and Oregon. If i Uo is only as successful as we wish he may be, there is a gorgeous future before be-fore him. Mr. Stevens will remain in town a day or two. He is a gentleman with whom it is pleasant to have acquaintance ac-quaintance and intercourse, and worthily worth-ily represents the road with which he is connected. |
