$4,000 to 100000. You ought
TO be proud of that. Nothing adds
more Tio-tbe reputation of o county
than fine and convenient buildings
for transaction Of the 'ptblic bust

signs are good, and if t.e commit

then in Building, we shall have good
buildings. Next to good buildings

portsnce first, as to general con-
venience, and then as 10 public
prominence. No nice buildings
should be put away back, either out
OF the public way or the public
view; because its bad economy and
bad taste; and two had things are
tao too many. When our town
plot was marshy wilderness, ten
anted by wolves and Indians, It's

The "town" located itself close by

and we (you and and the rest of
Us have travelled half mile extra,
every time we were compelled to go
to the court or any county office
say FIVE hundred Millions CT miles
uselessly since 1888. 1t has cost
she county two or three millions OF
dollars in one shape or another, and
as the county grows older, and it's
Inhabitants more numerous, it will
be more and more expensive. Let
US take one item. 1t is eighty rods

turns already made. In spite Of the enormous
and uniustifable duty, the increased imports
are very large, such is the zeal in the country
to go ahead with railroads Just at present,
more than ever before, are such schemes on
foot
The Southern States are largely engaged
in constructing new lines of railroad. In
Georgia alone seven new railways are under
construction, and some of them are approach
ing completion. That from Macon to Bruins
wick, 1S0 miles, has been nearly all built
since the war, and will soon be in running
order The Atlanta and Charlotte Railway is
fairly commenced, and one section will soon
be opened Another road, from Brunswick
to Albany, 175 miles, is begun. In Alabama
several great lines are under way, and most of
them are of importance. The route from
Chattanooga to Meridian, Mississippi, through
Northern Alabama, has 1jj miles in running
order; and Of the new lines proposed one runs
from Griffin to Decatur, 237 miles, one from
Montgomery to Decatur 1873 miles, and
another from Chattanooga to Montgomery,
with others of less consequence. In Ten
nessee, there is great interest manifested
in lines to connect the Ohio valley with the
Gulf.
The news of the progress of the Utah
Central Railroad is exceedingly gratifying.
Upwards of eleven miles have been
laid, including switches, bringing the
rails within four miles of Kays creek; and
should iron come on as soon as expected,
it is hoped that the line will be finished to
Kay's Ward in a short time. 1t is the
intention to build switch at Kay's Ward;
and when that is completed, there is good rea-
son to hope that we shall have coal delivered
there from the beds of the Weser, as Super
intendent Young says it is his intention to
bring it on the line to that point. Arrange
ments have been made for building tank at
Pennington, and probably another will be
built at Kay's Ward. Those who have had
the pleasure of riding on the line say that it
is excellently laid and old railroad men say
that it is as gosd line as is to be found in
the United States.
The Eastern Shore Railroad Company
who we're to resume control of their own
road November l. will not do so until Decem-
Der l. This is the Delaware Railroad be-
tween Delmar and Crisfield, and has been
operated by the Philadelphia, Wilmington,
and Baltimore Railroad Company.

Railway Notes.

The Elkton wig, commenting on the
Wilmington Oel) COmnoercjoEs proposition
to tap the main line of the Delaware Railroad
at Delaware Junction, to connect with the
proposed road to Baltimore, in preference to
extending road to Massey's Cross Roads,
says that it reads like huge joke, when we
glance at the map of the peninsula. By
few short connections, which are either in
progress or contemplation, the building of a
railroad to Massey's from Ellzton would as
effectually connect with the whole system of
peninsular railroads, as branch from Elkton
to the junction, with the advantage of equa-
lizing the distance between the entire Eastern
Shore and Baltimore, with the shorter route
now enjoyed by Philadelphia and Whining
ton. This is the object for which Baltimore
is asked to contribute towards building such
a road; not that Elkton may be connected
more closely with the Delaware Railroad The
distance between the Eastern Shore and Bal
timore by the construction of railroad to
Massey's would be about the same that it now
is to Philadelphia, and by no other means can
that object be accomplished; and this is why
Baltimore should aid in building the road.
- The Pennsylvania Central Railroad is
hstructing forty new cars to be run between
ttsburg and New York. The Reading
Pua7aal gives graphic description of these
bautiful travelling boudoirs. The feature
host acceptable to the night traveller, so long
demanded and so much needed, is the fact
hat each Car will be lighted with gas, by
means of the compressed gas cylinder used
for lighting the Reading Railroad cars so sue
eessfully for ten years past. When may we
ook for gas in the night cars between New
York and Washington, and between Philadel-
phia and Washington? Congress is just
about to open, and crowds take this train in
preference to the day. The bright light
afforded to passengers on other great roads
would be a special providence to persons
breed to evening travel between the capital
md the great cities of the North.
The Louisville Courier says:-Work on
The Evansville, Henderson, and Nashville
Railroad will be commenced in few days, al
hfadisonville, and the road built into the coal
mines as rapidly as the season will permit.
The work from Hopkinsville will be COM
n4enced at an early day, especially at the
|18ints of heavy work, and the whole pushed
forward to the coal mines north and south
sfde at the earliest practicable date. 1t is the
purpose of the contractors to complete the
whole work in ten months. The enterprise
will enjoy the prestige of the patronage and
4 influence of the Pennsylvania Central Rail
road, which secures its success. The com
pletion of this road and of the Elizabethtowr
aNhR Paducah Railroad, will probably do more
enrich anddevelop the Green river country
IN all the improvements heretofore made
viii add many times their cost to the
th of that section.
1.-The railroad enterprises of the country
are proved by the quantity of railroad iroi

From, BarnuntS Ne,o Autobiography.
When the late William Nj. Thackeray made
his first visit to the United States, | think in
1852, he called on me at the Museum with
letter of introduction from our mutual friend,
Albert Smith. He spent an hour with me,
mainly for the purpose Of asking my advice
in regard to the management of the course of
lectures on ''The English Humorsts Of the
Eighteenth Century" which he proposed to
deliver, as he did afterward, with very great
success, in the principal cities of the Union.
/ gave him the best advice / could as to
management and the cities he ought to visit,
for which he was very grateful, and he called
on me whenever he was in New York. / also
saw him repeatedly when he came to America
the second time with his admirable lectures
on 'The -Four Georges, which, it will be re-
membered, he delivered, in the United
States, in the season of 1866, before he
read these lectures to audiences in Great
Britain. My relations with this great novel
ist, am proud to say, were cordial and init
mate, and now, when l called upon him, in
1857, at his own house, he grasped me heartily
by the hand, and said:-
'Mr. Barnum, L admire you more than
ever. l have read the accounts in the papers
of the examination you underwent in the New
York courts, and the positive pluck you ex-
hibit under pecuniary embarrassments is
worthy of all praise. You would never have
received credit for the philosophy you mani
fest if these financial misfortunes had never
overtaken you"
thanked him fer his compliment, and he
continued
''But tell me, Barnum, are you really in
need of present assistance for if you are you
must be helped"
''Not in the least, replied, laughing; "I
need more money to get out of bank
ruptcy, and / intend to earn it: but SO
far as daily bread is concerned 1 am
quite at ease, for my wife is worth $50, 900 or
94O, ,000."
SIS it possible?" he exclaimed, with evident
delight; ''well, now, you have lost all my
sympathy; why, that is more than I ever
expect to be worth; shall be sorry for you
no more"

London is now indebted for its best theatre to
an American actress, Mrs. John Wood. She
has restored the st. James Theatre to its original
model, and made it the brightest, best ventilated
and best regulated in London or Paris. Pit and
stalls are alike abolished, the area heretofore
occupied by both being boarded over and con-
verted into one splendid apartment, furnished
in a style of such beauty and costliness yet pre-
serving at the same time such an air of quiet
refinement, that the visitor may fancy himself in
a drawing-room of some noble mansion. The
paltry tricks of eXtortion which make visit to
some of the other London theatres so expensive
and so irritating have been completely abolished
in this.
"A young Portland woman recently married
received from gentleman friend n large corn

the following:-
''This trining gift accept from me,
It's use I'd recommends
In sunshine use the brushy part
In storms the other end"
C. f. Train is not held in favor by Western
editors. Wisconsin paper, in bidding him
goodbye, says:-"Good-bye, old windy; good
bye, old gas-pipe, go home and soak your head
with whisky, so as to give some strength to
your apology for brains. Goodbye, old George
Francis Train. Don't come this way again-the
people appreciate you too we'll"
