HOi FOR SAN FRANCLSCO.

THE greatest work of our century has been COM
pleted, and by the laying of the last rail which |
unites the Union Pacific with the Central Pacific
road, the grand highway across the American
continent is thing accomplished; and although
the formal opening of the road is yet to take
place, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are con-
nected by link of iron, and San Francisco and
Philadelphia are practically as near TO each
other as Philadelphia and New York were one
hundred years ago. 1t was expected that the
connection between the two roads would be
made by the beginning of July, so that the COM
pletion of the great enterprise would add zest
to the popular celebration of our national ami
versary. The energy, however, with which the
work has been carried on has brought about a
meeting between the rival parties of road builders
sooner than was expected. and the Fourth of
July will find the Pacific Railroad in full opera
tion.
The rapidity with which this road has been
built is the more wonderful when we consider
| the enormous obstacles that had to be overcome.
The point where the Union Pacific and the Cen
! trail Pacific unite is nearly eleven hundred miles
west of Omaha, the starting point, whichl but
| few years ago was the centre of wilderness un-
explored and unknown except to the Indians
and few half savage frontier men. During the
three years since its commencement the Union
| Pacific Road has pushed its way across the
desert, carrying with it the materials of con-
struction it has scaled the Rocky Mountains
over obstacles that would appear to be insur-
mountabe; 1t has invaded the secluded retreat
where the Mormons hoped that they would for
ever be beyond the reach of modern civilization,
and now the last rail has been laid the last
spike driven, and the East and the West shake
hands across the continent and Pennsylvania
and California feel more strongly than ever that
their interests are identical, and that they be-
long to one nation. Crossing the desert and
overcoming the great natural obstacles were not
the only difficulties in the way of constructing
this road, Everything needful for the work,
except timber, had to be transported from the
Atlantic States to Omaha, and thence over the
road as il advanced westward. A hundred and
ten thousand tons,of iron rails, million fish
plates, two million bolts, and Gfteen million
spikes were thus carried along and put down in
the construction of the work. All the materials
except brick required for building foundres
/ machine-shops stotiOn-houses, telegraph line

and Offices, and other appurtenancea, had to be
obtained from distance, together with SUBJ
sistcnce and stores for from Eve TO twenty thou
sand workmen, and forage for from six 70 eight
thousand teams of mules and horses. These
items will serve to give slight idea of the mag
nitude of the task that has been accomplished.
The work now is done, the grand highway of
the nation which unites tho Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans, and which win bring tho commerce of
Asia across our continent is completed. and the
American people can congratulate themselves, AS
well as the directors of the road, upon the
result. Hereafter the journey to San Francisco
will be but pleasant summer trip, and tho great
desert tracks which intervene between the
Mississippi and the Rocky Mountains will ere
long be peopled and brought under cultivation,
and the metallic treasures which are locked up
in the 'mountain chests" will yield rich har-
vest to the nation. 1t is impossible to estimate,
in all its proportions, the Importance of this
great national work; and we can only rejoice
that energy, perseverance, and skill have sur
mounted all obstacles and brought 1t to happy
conclusion.

The NORTHERN METHODIST Book Con-
cERN.-Our people can feel no particular In
terest In the concern above named, yet, as
some of the Virginia papers have published
the withdrawing report of the committee
appointed to investigate the charges affect
ing its management which were lately made
public, we reproduce what the New York
Times says on the subject:
"The accounts rendered by one Of the
officials, who is implicated even in the rose
water report Of the committee, showed that
of goods purchased at eXorbitant prices
nineteen thousand dollars worth were un-
accounted for. This happened during last
year alone. The agent who had to buy pa
per admitted having told the manufacturers
that all purchases must be made through
the son OF one OF the managers. The COIN
missions paid to this lucky son varied from
two and ! half to fifteen Per cent.-say ten
per cent. on an average. This, on annual
purchases Of $4,000, would amount to
$15. 000-a snug years income for the reci-
pient, but a great loss to the Concern. On
these two items only it lost $4,000 in one
year. But the official first referred to kept
4 carriage and horses, although his salary
was only $4,000 4 year. OF course no one
suspected that anything was wrong"
