or allowing private individuals to provide
them. 8. That the road be built by public
corporation.
The first plan, in all probability, cannot be
carried out. 1t would throw upon the railroad
the necessity Of providing additional rolling
stock; it would require an immediate outlay Of
capital, and would possibly engage the compa-
ny in business for which it is not prepared.
This, however, is mere speculation, for the
company, in it's zeal to advance the interests
of the State, may be willing to undertake the
construction Of the road if it cannot be done in
any other manner.
At this time the city lie too much embar-
rassed to undertake any work that would add
to the city debt, and, upon consideration, it
would seem as well that the project should be
carried out by private company, which should
be so surrounded by checks and safeguards as
to make it profitable to tho city as we'll as to
the corporators.
TIE PLAN OF WORKING.
One OF the most open points OF this inter-
esting subject, however, is that in reference to
the best manner of working the line. 1t ap-

through from their starting point to the
wharves without breaking bulk, and the hand
ling and reloading Of cotton and other freight
at the Charleston depots cannot we'll be avoid
ed. The cars required will be for the most
part platform cars, and only sufficient
number Of box cars would be required
to be used for perishable goods and in bad
weather. Thus the rolling stock would not be
expensive, and it is certain that two horses
could pull with ease five or six times the guam
tity Of cotton that could be hauled on two drays
with one horse each. The route would be from
the South Carolina Railroad freight depots aud
cotton yards towards the river, and thence
along line east of the Bay to the most north
erly of our wharves. At each wharf there would
be switch, and a track running along the
wharf, so that the car load of freight taken
from the railroad depot could be delivered at
the side Of the ship which was to carry it to
it's destination.
1t has been proposed also, that the COM
pany should do no more than lay the track,
and that cTcry firm of consequence should have
its OWL cars and horses, transfer its OVID
freight, do its own hauling, and pay yearly
toll for the use OF the track This plan ha;
some advantages, but it is open to the disad

Growth Of Railroads.

The growth and extent on the
Railway system in this country, With
other lnteres sting statistics, hai been
gwen to us in manual by Henry
". Poor. We take the following
valuable Information from its pages:
1.-The first railroad in the United
States-the Baltimore and Ohio road
was chartered in 1927, and sixty.
two miles oft were opened but work
ed out the same year the second rail
road-the Albany and Schenectady.
The third was the South Carolina
railroad, which was opened in 1885
and was at that time the longest con
tinuous line III the world.
sln 1881 we possessed but little
over one hundred miles Of railroad
in 1885 we had 1908 miles Of railroad:
in 1867, 1924. LII 1887, 224 miles
OF new track were laid; in 1867, q
227 miles of new track In 1913. on
ly 1853 miles were laid in 1859, g.
GLIB were opened. which il the largest
number of miles of new track laid in
any year.
In 1910 we had one mile of rail
road to 7.4l5 people; in 1870. one
mile to 3 29S people, and in 1860 one
mile to 905 people In 1870 We
| shall have $4,000 miles of railroad
opened, or one mile for every l37 in
| habitants.
"lfwe take geographical sections !;
in 1889 the New England States had
322 miles of iron track laid, the Mid,
die States had 1853; the Southern
States Alb and the Western States
only A. In 1867, the New England
| States had 3,336 miles laid, the Mid
die States States, 1862; the South
ern States, 10,067 while the Yves.
tern States, excluding those on the
Pacific slope. had Is 226.
Massachusetts has the greatest
number of miles in proportion to her
territory one mile for every 81
square miles. Connecticut comes
next, and has one mile to 2. 5 square
miles; New Jersey has one mile for
s 4-5 square miles Rhode Island fol,
lows, with ono mile of track for l01
square miles on land. Pennsylvania
is ahead Of New York, having mile
for every 10 ITO square miles, while
we have only mile for every II T.
5 square miles. The States we have
named above, and New Hamshire,
Ohio and Delaware, all have more
miles of railroad in proportian to fer
| ritory than New York
IF all the New England States had
a ratio of mileage to area equal to
Massachusetts, this group Of Stat es
would have IL 900 miles ofiron track
instead of the new 1898 they actu>
ally possess. If the Middle States
equalled New Jersey, they would
possess 5,G40 miles, instead Of what
they have 1852. If the Western
States equalled Ohio, they would have
51,35O miles while they have really
but Is 226."
The whole railroad system of the
United States has cost, according to
Mr.. Poors estimate, $1,600.000,000
about two, thirds Of the amount OF
our national debt. Erchdnqe.

Statistics of Intemperance.

We extract the following passage,
giving some interesting statistics OF
Intemperance, from a speech deliver
ed by Mr.. James d. Dunn, Secretary
of the National Temperance Society,
under the auspices OF which the
Temperance Convention is to meet
al Cleveland this week
Is it not time, Christian friends
and patriots, hat we should arise in

one fell blow cut down this upas tree
by the very roots, when we know
that during the vast year Sl'483, 491>
S65 has been the enormous sum OF re
tail sales alone for Intoxicating
drinks, one half of all the amount OF
money brought in through retail
sales of all other trades and classes

there are to-day Al, 063 men dealing
out this liquid death every day of the
week when we know there is fer
mented 90'000,0 600 gallons OF spirit
uous liquors and over 5000, 900 bar
rels of beer when we know that
there are 10000 Of our fellow Great
ures staggering before us every day ;
when hell, as it were, moves beneath,
ready to open and draw the 10000
to perdition when we see 100000
wives and orphan children going in
rags and wretchedness before us, and
hear their wailing cry that rends the
very heavens, the victims Of these
liquor sellers, is it not time that the
Christian heart should lift up its ear
nest prayer to God that he would
come forth in his might and strength
and help US sweep away this cursed
traffic 1t is that this grand object
may be accomplished that this So

We desire to bring the people of this
and ali the other States to realize

The Irish Language.

The Irish language is gradually
ceasing to be used. According to the
census of Ireland taken in 1851, it
appeared that in population of g.
574, 278, as many as 233 per cent.
spoke Irish but ten years subse-
quently decrease of AZ per cent. had
taken place since March 1861. when
the last census was taken, and the
total number OF inhabitants was s.
798, 900, the entire Irish speaking
population amounted to only 1871 per
cent. Of the 1,105, $50 returned in
1861, those who could only speak
Irish numbered 1927 and the re-
mainder professed vernacular knowl.
edge of beth languages. But few ed
ucated persons could either read or
write Irish La 1851, half the inhab
itants Of the province of Connaught
could speak their native language !;
even still the counties Of Galway and
Mayo offered the greatest number of
Irish speaking people, and in 1861
as many as 1880 therein were re-
turned as unable to speak EngIish.-
The spoken Gaelic is dying out, and
in twenty years more the oldest Ian :,
guage in Northern Europe, except
that of the Lapps and other extreme
Northern tribes, will have ceased to
be used.

How to make Good Coffee.

Good coffee is luxury, one that
is seldom met with. We give the
following advice upon the subject OF
preparing it, from lady correspon

"The making of good coffee is
rare thing in this country most per
sons boil it, thus making decoction
instead of an infusion this effectual>

flavor, and leaves comparatively

but grind it yourself. immediately
before using it keep your coffee pot
whatever kind you may use, wiped
clean and dry on the inside damp

flavor that spoils the best tea or cotf

best coffee pots are those made on
the French plan, called cafetieres. If

let it stand on the hob or centre to
settle, and in less than five minutes a
transparent, strong, aromatic cup of
coffee may be poured out. The pro-
portions of coffee (Which should not
be too finely ground) recommended
are an ounce to pint or over of wa

The milk used with coffee should
always be boiled. and used as hot as
possible, the boiling of milk imparts
peculiar and pleasant flavor to the
coffee. White sugar is recommend.
