Our contemporary, the Aberdeen En-

from the able pen of the renowned Capt
NJ. L. MAuRY, thus concludes M

1t is the blind fault of these seribblers,
that they never. pause to ask common
sense the plain question, as tos'which

they tell us that the United States Naval
Academy educaiedfM II. MAuRY, and
that the Uoited States Government EN-
ployed him upon the sea and in the

abandoned the service of this govern

SLEEPING CARS.

1t IS not perhaps, generally known
says the Philadelphia Ledger, that the
''sleepiug ears" used upon all the princi
pal railroads in the United States are a
monopoly, the profits of which are en-
joyed by a few patentees's who have
formed themselves into u corporation,
and by buying up all the new patents,
now have control of the entire sleeping
car interest in the country, and by rigor-
ously guarding it, prevent the railroad
companies from constructing and run
ming cars of this kind for themselves.
The bargain made between the patentees
and the railroad companies qis that the
patentees shall furnish the cars and keep
the upholstery and bedding in repair,
whilst the railroad company isto furnish
the motive power and keep the car in re-
pair ~The company is thus saved the
cost of car it would otherwise have to
build whilst the patentees, by charging
extra fees of the passengers, make money
quite easily. A sleeping car costs about
Eve thousand dollars, and its annual ex-
pense for attendants and incidentals is
about two thousand and nine hundred
dollars The average receipts are said
to be thirty dollars day for each car,
or nine Thousand dollars annually
