RAILROAD PROFITS. hundred Of III,

RAILROAD PROFITS. s.-Three hundred of the
leading railroads of the United States, having
8242 miles of first t-class road in operation, cost
with all their equipments, $495, 800, ,O29, or an
average of $50, 236 per mile. During the year
1865, the gross earnings of these 300 railroads
were $l59, 1874, ,587, or SO, 1897 per mile, about
three per cent. on the cost of the roads. Not
quite two-thirds of this sum, or $lO2, ,497, ,9l7
was spent in running the roads during the
year SO that $50, 696, ,670 are left for profits,
being an average of $6SS6 for each mile of road
in operation. This is eleven and one-half per
cent upon the amount invested, an annual
profit that ought to be satisfactory to any one,
and which is a convincing argumc mt that Con
gress, in passing the late tax law, did wrong
in permitting the railroads assess their inter-
nal revenue taxes upon their passengers. The
result of the business of 1865 also proves the
substantial value of railroad investments. Du-
ring the year thirteen American railroads paid
10 per cent dividend two paid IL per cent. !;
and one Is per cent. one 30 per cent, and
two 35 per cent.

Were heather idolater from any of the

Surely words sufficiently strong and decent can
be found in the English language, out of the
many thousands that compose it, to express
our thoughts genteelly, without adopting the
foul language of the INTERVALS.
We heartily desire to see a reformation in
this respect, and if our young men would only
for moment think not only on the SinfulneSs
OF their conduct, but on the impression of dis
gust made on the minds of women by the course
they pursue, we think they would amend their
ways. We feel very sorry that such habits are
to be found in our town, or in any part of our
country, for the prevalence Of them no doubt
has called down the wrath Of Heaven upon us
as nation. We read in the Bible, because of
swearing the land mourneth and thus we have
found it for several years past. We cannot ex-
pect to avert the judgments of Heaven when
we indulge in such vices, and sure as there is a
God who takes cOgnizance of all our sinful
ways, we shall be punished for taking the name
Of God in vain.
Those abopinable nuisances which have
sprung up all through the town, in which
drinking and gambling are practiced, are the
Arch Deceiver's nurseries for training our
youths to violate the third commandment in
the decalogue. And ifthc religious part Of the
community do not wish to participate in TIE
guilt and conemnation of swearers, they must
endeavor by all lawful means to remove from
our midst everything that has tendency to
corrupt the morals of the rising generation.

ABOUT TOURNAMENTS. s.-The chivalrous feel
ings of some Of our Southern cavaliers are
again finding vent in tournaments" OF
these tournaments most ungalant Southern
editor says that they :" consist in parcel Of
aw kward fellows trying to poke a stick through
ring suspended by cord" The successful
knight gains the prize, which is, according to
this editor, . a nosegay Of roses or other vege-
tables, presented by the Queen of Love and
Beauty. He then goes on still more ungal-
lantly to explain how this fashionable tour
nament' is but modification of an old game
called " IIookem Snivey," with the difference
that in the former the gentleman tries to poke
stick through ring, whilst in the latter he
tries to throw the ring so that it will hang upon
a hook fastened in a wall. All this can be
borne, however, but when this ungaant man
travels so far out Of his record as to make the
gratuitous and unnecessary charge that the
well-knOwn game of 6 croquet'' is nothing but
a modification of that youthful pastime known
as shinney," the fashionable must rise in
their might to repel the charge. Whether
" "shinney' or hOOkem snivey," croquct,"
or tournament it is all the same, however );
young people indulge in these games for out
door diversion, and that which furnishes the
most innocent amusement and exercise what

TIE FIRST AMERICAN GENERAL" AND
" ADMIRAL. The United States have now,
for the first time in their history, a General
upon the land and an admiral upon the seas.
Heretofore we have had "Leutenuat Gene
rails and 9 Vice -Admirals; but both these IT,
ties implied that there was a higher military
and higher naval grade known to the law
while in truth there were no higher grades in
law or in fact. The President, though consti-
tutlOnally COmmander-in-C Chief of the Army
and Navy has properly no military grade and
no military title and, in fact, the subordina-
ton implied in the prefix Of Lieutenant" and
the prefix of g Vice had no reference, histori-
cfally or actually, to any relations with the
President. And the comforting of the new IL
ties upon the two officers who wear them, en-
larges in no degree the power or place they
previously held, and affects in no degree the
rights belonging to the President. The titles
have been conferred upon those to whom the
country would award them by universal acclaim.
Grant and Farragut are not only the two fore
most names in our warlikc history, but their
pre-eminence is undisputed by any rival. The
greatest of our other heroes acknowledge the
precedence Of these two, and proudly declare
that the titles have been as justly conferred as
they will be worthily and modestly worn All

ROBBER OUTWuTED.-A short time since
an lrlshman left Copperopolis, California, for
San Andreas, with his carpet sack on his back,
and when about five miles ON his way was met
by road agent (the name given in Calitor-
MIA to highway robbers, who demanded his
money. Pat Immediately dropped his pack on
the ground and sat on it, and thus addressed
the man:
Holy Virgin, yez must be very thick along
this road I've only come five miles this morn
ing, and this is the fourth time we been stopp-
ed and axcd for money
: Is that so p asked the highwayman.
" BY me soul, it's the gospel truth, replied
Pat.
"Well, then, you had better proceed on your
way !. it wouldn't pay to 60 through you
now.
Pat shouldered his carpet-bag, and they were
about to separate, when he turned around and
said
I" Have ye iver sich a thing about ye as q
match to light me pipe wid2"
He was supplied with one, and the two sepa-
rated. The Irishman had five hundred dollars
in gold coin in his bundle, and by this piece Of
shrewdness saved his money.
