 RFcotFEr sf PEoPkkrY.-- .--rhe following cir. eumstance is as true as il is singular: few years ago, two gentlemen who had been leli executors to the will of friend, examining the property found scrap of paper, which was written "Seyen Hundred Pounds in Till" This they look in the li- ieral sense, and examined all the apartments care fully, hui m vain They sold his collection Of books to bookseller, and paid Ihe egacies in proportion.
 The singuariiy of the circumstance accustomed them frequently about ii, and they recolected among the books sold (which had taken place up- wards of seven weeks Lsiore) there was folio edi- tiOn of Tillotson's Sermons. The probability Of ths being what was alluded to by the word "TIll," |" on the piece of paper. made one of them immediate ly wat upon the bookseller who had purchased the books. and ask hlm if he had the edition of T,ot- son, which had been among the books sold 10 him; on his replying in the affirmative, and the volumes being handed down, the gentleman immediately pur- chased them; and, carefully examining the leaves, found bank notes, snply dispersed m various places in the volumes. tl the amount of seven hundred pounds! But what IS perhaps no less remarkable than the preceding, the bookseller informed him tha. gentleman at Cambridge, reading in his catalogue of this edition to be sold, had written to him, and desired thai il might be sent to Cambridge, which accordingly done; but the books not answer ing the gentleman's expectation, they have been in the bookseer's shop tII the period of this very sin gular discovery.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.
 In Selate to-day, the morning hour was devoted to reports of committees, the reception ofmemoras, &c. ae which, they took up the bill to reduce post age, and devoted the remainder of the days sesson to it's consideration.
 In the House, the bill to graduate the price of pub lie andsoccupied their attention for the greater part of the day. It was determined to terminate all de- bate on tlis subject at PM, tomorrow.
 Mir. Sdell, of Louisiana, asked permission to make personal explanation. and made sundry coin- ments on the published report of Mir. Barrow's re- marks, delivered in Senate yesterday, relative to the charge, lat the electoral vote of Louisiana had been given to James K Polk through fraud, &c Mir s. denied tSe accusation fofo-branding it as false in all respects The manner m which he treated the subiect will have the effect of inducing the Wings m future td be litile more careful how they make sweepihy charges against their opponents, more espe. caly when they can be easily met and refuted as in this instance.
 have reirained from indulging in my letters to the EnquTs in vague guesses ts the probable vste of the Senate on the Texas question; and, having care fully weighed all the signs in the political borIzou, t ink may safely venture now 10 say, that e, cry democrat of that body will stand by the party on he final vote; md, also that the proposition as pa ssed by tho House, will receive the support of Messrs. Henderson, Merrick, Johnson and Foster. I ihere- f're feel certain of Its passage. In this opinion friend, who perhaps better informed the subject than any one else, fully agrees with me j.,

THE RAILROAD SYSTEM or THE U. STATES. The Cincinnati Chronicle has liF of the finished Railroads in the United States which extend over nearly five thousand miles. In 1885 there were but 984 miles of Railroad conp 'leed in the country, which leaves 3, ,76s miles made since than year. The average cost is put down at $20, 900 per mile, mak ing sho capital invested $75, ,56O, ,00U 2
 At present the income of the finished roads nearly equals the annual expenditure in capital; that the extension of Railroads is now in great degree paId for by the goods transported the existing roads,.
 It is also true that the transportation of freight costs less; SO that the cost of making Railroads now IS in
 fact paid for by the savings produced by the Raul roads. Some of the different roads, afler receiving two additional links, will form gigantic lines of iron steam communication. u..
 l. For example, the great route from Portland to Bsffalo will receive two important additions, one al the eastern extremity prolongng II Bangor, and the other at the western, uaiting Buffalo by means of Mad River and Little Miami Railroad, 10 the Ohio, when steam car may run from Bangor (Me.) to Cincinnati (Ohio) )in coafnuons Railroad one housand miles in erfea! This supposes that the projected Railroad from Buffalo to Sandusky is made.
 When the New-York and New-Hayen, and the Baltimore Railroads are, 10 the Oh,o completed. only need link from the Ohio in the Little Miami Railroad to make another grand route of eiepsn han dred mules from Bangor to Cincinnati. by ths great ral route. Two thirds of this whole route are now competed SO that the completion of the other third is no longer a chimerical idea. or the remaining thrd the capital is already hand for the greater part The Dart for which effort is necessary is that from the Ohio River to the Little Miami Rail- road. But, when the Baltimore Railroad reaches the Ohio river, there will be want of capital to complete the remaining link. elf Nt4
