$50 MILES ARE DONE AND EARNING NOW
ABOVE EXPENSES MORE THAN THE INTER
EST ON THAT PORTION OF THE NOR rGAGED
DEBT, and more than the interest on all the bonds
that can be issued up to date.
The completion o. new road enables US to offer for
sale more of these bonds. No bonds can be issued
road under construction, and on finished road he
issue is limited to $2O, 600 per mile.
These bonds are desirable as investment for
many reasons, the most prominent OF which are:
First: Behind them aud terrifying them is a paid
up capital OF nearly $7,000,G00.
Secpaa Inc r roa1 Is new great trunk line run
ways, and shortening the distance seventy miles-a
very great distance properly clustered, aad
that alone would render his road a rGSt success.
Third The cost OF building the road is twice the
mortgage and a railroad is a real estate of per ect
title, and if &. cd for anything, is always increasing
in value. These bonds are real esta e loan OF the
best character at halt value. The cost OF single
track is about $4,000 per mile; mortgage $50 900.
Besides in his case, the real estate is in existence
before the bonds are issued.
Fourth: The Mortgage Bonds on every railroad
running out Of New York City are good, and inter-
est is promptly paid on them.
Filth: Tie total interest liability of this great
railway. over four hundred miles in length. will be
but S560,000 Gold, per a. Ger the whole line
is completed. The earnings OF single month, it is
expected, will exceed tits.
A consideration of the gross receipts of the New
necessary, we believe, to con vince parties that the
Midland will net, after all expenses much larger
sum than its interest debt.
THE RATE OF INTEREST.
THESE bonds pay seven per cent. in cold. free OF
United States income tax and this, with gold at 49,
is equal TO over = PER CENT. A YEAR. No
rational person could expect SAFE INVEST
MENT WITHIN OUR OWN STATE to be offered
on more liberal terms than these.
THE BONDS.
The bonds have 25 years to run are issued in de.
nominations OF 81, 600; bear Seven Per Cent Inter

PORTLAND s. OGDENsBURG RAILRoAD.-By
invitation Of Gen. Anderson, the President OF
the road, Capt Parker, Lieut. Pencil and
others from the Blues and committee from
the Army and Navy Union, consisting of Mes
srs. Patterson, Thayer and Bell accompanied a
small party of invited guests Saturday on q
pleasure to trip Lake Sebago. The train left foot
of Danforth street at II o'clock and run at a
high rate of speed to the Lake. The road bed
is in most desirable condition, and the alb
sence of the usual roughness of new roads, was
matter of perfect surprise; much of this due
doubtless, to the fact that the work and mate
rial are first-class in every respect. The scene
ry on the route is delightful. The frequent
glimpses of the beautiful Presumpscot, with its
wooded shores and waterfalls, the distant
mountains, Otter pond with its floating island
and bottomless bottom, where several horses
and one man were lost, and nearly nine months
time consumed in filling in piece about 400
yards in length, and finally the splendid view
which bursts upon the vision on reaching Lake
Sebago cannot be excelled.
Now that this beautiful Lake scenery is to
be opened to the public ina few day we antici.
pate great rush Of pleasure travel until cold
weather sets in.
Both the Blues ard Army and Navy q nior
are a-rargiLg for picnics, which will come of

ment, the contractors for the wooden pave
ment, the proprietor of the State of Maine
and the public generally will be invited to 60.
The party received every courtesy possible
from Gen. Anderson, and returned highly de-
lighted with the trip. Before leaving the car
Capt Parker called the party to order, and
Lieut.. Pencil, in behalf of the Blues, made a
motion that thanks be rendered the gentle
manly President of the road for his kind at.
tentions and Efforts to make the trip pleasant
