Of bonds at enormous discounts, never should pay
dividends even if it has net income large enough
10 do but should appropriate its earnings to the
liquidation of its immediate liabilities, and relieve
itself from all financial difficulties. Instead of doing
this, find railroads borrowing money at usurios
rates, short time, selling its bonds at great sacri
fees and paying dividends without earning the first
cent. Their managers conceive it necessary to carry
ON this cut-throat game to sustain their corporate
credit but they finally bring up deeply involved in
debt, abandon their dividends and become hope

TEE SroRx ON THE LAxE.--Cas.
ually We noticed the terrific storm on
the Lake, Saturday night Our re.
port Of it was nscsssisarily brief, Is it
came from a gentleman who left whilst
the storm was still raging. The city
papers Of Wednesday give full partic-
ulsrs in regard to the work Of destruc.
ton, and say that it was the most dis
asterous storm, since 1919.
At Pass Christian, Bay st. Louis,
Mississippi City and Biloxi, everything
accessible to injury by storm is gone,
with the exception Of two wharves ct
Biloxi. At Point Clear, however,
there appear. to have been little or
no damage done; and at Ocean
Springs, Montrose, Hollywood, &c..
nothing beyond the washing away Of
a wharf or two and some bath houses.
Of all the ordinary stopping places Of
the Mobile mail boats there is no
chance left Of landing anything at
except OF Pascagoula and Bill
oxi.
The schooner Juno, fully ladened.
was driven into the Piney Woods,
half q mile from water, on the storm
abating.
At Biloxi, a schooner said to have
on board $50 barrels of -four, was
blown on tho beach and was lying in
precarious situation.
At Proctorville, the damage done,
IS said to have been similar to that
above described as having occurred at
other points.
Several lives we're lost, but as yet,
I has not been ascertained who
he parties were.
