business men along the entire length of the line,
in order TO secure their interest in the welfare OF
the company, and to secure To them, its patrons,
their share of the profits from its business.
ASS ESSMENTs OF STOCK.
Only five per cent of the stock will be required
to be paid in at the time of subscription, and sub
sequent calls will uot exceed ten per cent. per
month. After the first payment Of five per cent
no further call will be made until Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars shall have been subscribed.
The company confidently believe that they will
not be compelled to call in more than fifty or six
ty per cent. of the subscriptions in order to place
the line in complete working order.
a DIVIDENDS.
From carefully prepared estimates based upon
the amount OF business done by the companies
row in operation, and giving them equal share
of the business between connecting points the
company confidently sbelieve that large and re-
munerative dividends can be made; and they
further believe that, taking into consideration the
| great advantages which they will possess in a
short and direct route theywiH be able to secure
nearly all the business along the hne, which will
| place the stock at a high premium, and make 1T

early day, and to push it forward as rapidly as
possible, and intend tod have their lines completed

| DISTRIBUTORS OF DIRECTORS.
The stockholders will be represented by Direc-
tors at the principal points of. the line.
THE PROSPECT
| Is most fattering The location of the line il
one of the best in the country. 1t passes through
large number of important cities and towns where
commercial intercourse is large and rapidly in
creasing The country along the river is receiv-
ing constant accessions of wealth and population
/ and these viii bring an increase of trade which
must correspondingly add largely every year tc
the business and profits of the company. All the
old telegraph companies throughout the country
are now, and have been, paying satisfactory div
idends, on a capital stock TINT has been repeated
eddy watered. IF these companies controlled by
| a few wealthy individuals owning nearly all thu
stock, can do this, it is quite reasonable to sup
pose that q company, owned and managed by il
patrons, with its lines so desirably located, an,
with limited amount of stock, can at least d.
equally as well.

indispensable for the transportation of the
ores and heavy material used in manu-

pursued by it: how or in what particular

The Electric Light.

This light is attracting good deal of
attention. Experiments in France and
England have been thoroughly made with
satisfactory results. By the tests at Cape
La Heve on the French, and at Dungeness
on the British coast, it is proved that in
clear weather the electric light is visible
seven miles further al to 2O) than the best
lights ever before shown at those points.
In thick weather its advantages are still
greater, as by its wilderness, density, and
brilliancy, it penetrates fogs that almost
totally obscure other lights. The brilliancy
of the electric light will throw shadows
from the flames Of street lamps on a wall
distant $500 feet. In photography it is
said to surpass sunlight, and the British
photographers use it very much at night in
copying and enlarging pictures; which is
a very great advantage.
The electric light is placed upon the
Prince Jerome prince NAPoLEoN's YACHT,
not to illumine the vessel, but to throw
light abroad on the water. This it does
with great power to an immense distance.
With this light vessel might discern OBJ
jects of all kinds--yessels, shoals, shore
wrecks, etc.-in the night. In war, it
would throw light upon an enemy and ia
cilitate night attack. 1t will be invalua-
BILE at sea in war and in peace. 1t will be
also of great benefit to railroads, and ad-
mirable for signals Of all sorts. II
This light can be produced at very lit
tie cost; indeed, it Is the cheapest yet
discovered. As yet, however, the means
OF Its generation have not been sufficiently
utilized for general use. All new discove-
''s Oh the sort require time to familiarize
