Railroads y, Geraany. correspondent at Frankfort
on-the Maine furnishes the following Information respect
ing railroads
When In the year 1850 the different railroad companies
in Germanyhltherto Isolated began to be somewhat
more connected the necessity of establishing general
principles for the construction and management of rail
roads was universally felt with view 10 effect that
purpose meeting of officers OF the several companies
took place in Berlin in the month of February, 1850
The result that meeting the framing Of common
regulations the transit service, well the adoption
OF common principles for the construction and manage
ment of railroads generally
The principles then laid down have since that period
formed the basis OF all railroad undertakings in Germany
and they were adopted by Switzerland
However in the construction as well as In the manage
ment of railroads great progress has been made within
the last seven years. and it found that the old egu
aons required Improvement IN order to correspond with
this progress For this reason new meeting was called
together this year to revise the resolutions Oh the former
one and that meeting held at Vienna from the 18th
TO the 26th May last Most OF the German railroads
we're represented in it, The results arrived at by this
meeting are to be brought before general meeting OF
railroad managers TO be held at Munich and they will
afterwards be published One of the resolutions concerns
the application Of chain bridges to railroads And the
Vienna meeting requested the Austrian government to
obtain correct information from America respecting the
bridge of this kind first erected namely that ON the
Niagara railroadand upon the results Of that expert
ment.
The mandatory OF engines at Esslingen, in Wurcm-
has received LOCOMOTIVES
for the railroad from Copenhagen TO Corsoer in Den
mark and similar orders nave peeh given or rrench
lines The Wurtemberg engines enjoy high reputation
all over Europe and have frequently heard them spoken
of MS the best in the whole railroad world.
Tba raguations on the German railroads for the sum-
mer have undergone some important improvements.

The Railroad Survey.

The locating party of engineers of the Chi
cago, St. Paul and Fon du Lac Railroad Com
pany have made all their connections at this
end of the line, and are about returning be-
low. Their survey crosses the State line in
range 35 west,-distance from Ontonagon to
the State lne-86 miles. The survey of the
Marquette Branch is also nearly completed.
The distance from Marquette to State line is
So miles. Both routes are located through
an excellent country, embracing no bad lands.
An immense amount of iron lands is included
in the lands adjacentto the Marquette Branch,
extending all the way to the State line.
The part of the road in process of con-
struction in Wisconsin is now being pushed
forward with great vigor 1t is completed
and in running order to Oshkosh, on Lake
Winnebago,-the grading is done on the
lance of sc miles, and they are laying the iron
with all possible rapidty.
The affairs Of the company are rapidly re-
covering from the shock occasioned by the
present financial crisis, and we have every
confidence that they will be able to make ar
rangements for pushing on the construction
as soon as the money market becomes easier.
The securities they offer to capitalists, who
desire to take their bonds, or to make stock
subscriptions will certainly give them favor.
They have $50 miles of paying road, which
has done a business of about 100000 per
month during the summer-and ], 100000 a.
ores of land, ali of which will be pledged to
the payment of their bonds. In ordinary
times such security would certainly command
sufficient money to insure the speedy Con-
struction of the road. A change has also
lately been made III the official management
of the road, which will, we believe, insure the
greatest energy-Lake Superior Miner.

Advertising in Hard Times.

We find in the Boston Journal the follow
ing sensible remarks upon the benefits deriv-
ed from advertising in hard times. We COM
mend them to our business men. 1t must be
apparent to them that while in ordinary
times there is reason for advertising to let the
public know where to find what they want, at
this time of universal retrenchment and re-
duction of prices, there is an additional in
centve to advertise to let the people know
where to find what they want, cheapest:
Suppose a merchant, with his store full of
goods, finds that he has got to submit to
some sacrifice in order to meet his demands,
pothesis is probable enough in these times,
but the answers to the practical question
will be various. They ou,ht to be,
because the method which will afford Ielief
to one is not advisable, or if So, not avaiIa-
bic, to another. But STILL as a general an
swer, what is better than this cut down
Your prices, advertise vigorously, and sell off
your goods.
In the first place, if sacrifice is unavoid-
able, and the result must be the same pecu
niarily to the dealer, it is far better that the
community in general should reap the bene-
fit Of it, than that it should inure wholly to
one or two brokers. Instead Of an enormous
per centagc, in pursuance of doubtful sys-
tenn, being thus thrown into the Golfers OF
few individuals, the chcapened necessaries of
life would be spread among thousands of
households, dllasng comfort everywhere
Thus the burdens which rest upon the mer-
camille class, instead Of being made tributary
to the avarice of the moneyed class, would
he turned to the solid benefit of all the other
class.
Again, such a course would keep trade
going. Tight as money is, not a cent has
been annlhiatcd-lt exists all about us some
where. AT this season of the year, too, a
great deal Of it, in separately small sums,
must be exchanged for the numbcress arti-
Giles OF food and raiment required at the
coming on Of winter. If prices hold up, this
exchange will be as scanty and put off as
long as possible. Blu. let reduced prices be
advertised, let it be understood that goods
must be sold at all events, and the stores will
be crowded under little panic of the right
kinda dollar will be spent here and five or
ten there, resulting in hundreds Of thousands
to the enterprising dealers.
Thus may boarded specie be drawn from
its hiding places. Thus the healthy circula-
ton OF money will be kept up, and the basis
maintained for an early renewal of prosper
GUS times. Everything will grow better by
degrees, while of him who recklessly sticks
to old prices, and wholly relies OH borrowing,
it may be said, "the last end of that man is
worse than the first" -

Ora r,urdher-murdher, Kitty dear,
Sure I'm wastn' all away,
BY raixin Of your cruelty,
My brains is gone asthray.
They sell me sun light has the strength,
For TO make the sinses ny;
So my poor head was imp-ty-ed,
BY the bright bame Of your eye.
Ora what's the use in life at all,
Sence you have sarved me SO,
have no heart for TO work or play
Lie down, stand up, or so.
Just like a young three breathed on
By worm and blghtin ar,
Your smile has stole all hope AWAY
And left ME but despair.
Oral would some fairy change me-
To a purity bird or flower,
That my kitty's hands might teho Oh me-
Ey'ry day and cry hour;
Tor her dear eyes t. look ON me,
IA b. some l.felc thing.
Mar. gladly than, away from them,
Tor to be Mighty King.
Ora when 70 die, Ia like for to be,
Trausforlaed into stone,
With oat.i.!e smooth and shinin',
Bat with heart covld as your own,
That mi ht stand and guard your grave,
When ca,nly there you rest,
And scar my dsrlin Kitty's name,
Ea.rAved upou NY heart.
